the situation Thus it will be seen
that Ned has not ceased to demand
the respect that is due him, He is
still in good health, and has pre-
served his teeth. In this respect he
has the advantage of other old people.
He is fed on bran and apples most
of the time, with such other luxuries
as the market affords. Since Ned has.
retired from active life, FIVE years ago,
he has been conspicuous figure at
parades and celebrations of all kinds,
his greatest hobby being decoration
day parades. He has never missed
but one decoration day parade at his
home, and that was the last one. He
made up for that, however, by going
with his master to witness the I'M
yelling Of the monument eommemor-
atlng the great railroad wreck at
Ashtabula. In these parades at his
home Ned has been great fayorite.
and the children of that place have
frequently found more pleasure in
plitting flowers ON Ned than IN put
ting them on the graves of the
soldiers.
In parades of all sorts Ned insists
on marching next 10 the music He
will take no back seat. Marching has
become such habit that he has no
trouble now in keeping time with uhe
music No one can tell how he will
act ON the float at Louisville. He will
probably have to beat time with his

HOPE FOR THE HOPELESS.


Washington, u. g., Sept l0.-A nuw
cure for consumption has been re-
ported to the state department By
United States commissioner CHANGER
Tor at Hayre LIZ says the cure was
first bought to the attention OF the
world al a congress Of physicians and
scientists at Bordeaux TO consider the
question IL combating consumption
by vaccination. Prof. AIalililiallo, an
Italian Seyant, read a paper, which
attracted much attention, claiming 70
have discovered an etiicaciOus process
for the treatment of consumption by
the injection OF tubercular serum.
which he says renders the subject of
this most formidable disease imGnun-
ity. The consul recalls the compara-
tive failure Of other attempts to treat
consumption successfully, and says
this particular process is still III the
experimental stage. The paper is
open TO several objections, for Prof.
Marigiliano gives no precise informal
ton as TO his process for Obtaining
the serum, which can be had only
from himself, his statistics are incom-
plete and lacking confirmation, and
his infallibility cannot be yet regarded
as an accomplished fact
incidentally, the consul gives some
startling figures Of tile ravages Of con.
sumption in Paris. He shows THAT i
causes IS times more deaths than
smallpox and scarlet fever combined,
1G times more than typhoid fever and
s times more than diphtheria, and Is
3 times more fatal than chose mala-
dies combined. In the five years in all
France there were 400 deaths from
consumption per 100000 population, a
greater mortality than that caused by
the most malignant epidemic Of chol-
era.

life more uncertain than 1t always is.
and to the fact that there was no

she had heard so much good. The
mother was taken worse that day aud
