Infected Heirlooms.

To become the possessor of old
family relics, to step into the shoes
of ones ancestors, to inherit the
family mansion with all its old as
sociations, its antique furniture, its
ancient tapestry, is usually regard
ed as an enviable lot. Some cool
headed, calculating, severely matter
of fact bacteriologist has actually
had the audacity to examine into
the bacteriology of some old, beau.
tiful and otherwise priceless tapes
tries in an old country mansion.
This bacteriologist found that the
tapestries were teeming with micro
organic life, and that they were
nothing less than hotbeds for the
culture of tubercle bacilli. Will the
mural adornments of the tapes
tried chambers" throughout the
country survive this terrible indict-
ment? 1t may be that they will.
But who after this will be able to
look upon the "tapestried" present
ments of, say, the lively "Adven-
lures of Dionysius, +" the wonderful
career of "Medea," or the patriotic
maneuver of "Mettius Curtius,"
without some feeling of repulsion
which such a revelation could not
fail to create?-Medical Press.

New England's Exalting Influence.

no section is yet as marked or as

Napoleon,s Censorship of the press.

In religion the emperor's principle
was that his subjects should hate
the English because they were her
etics, and the pope because he was a
fanatic. The "idealogues" and met
aphysicians" were anarchists, for
the public order was endangered by
their teachings. The newspapers
were not only gagged, but metamor-
phosed-the French Citizen into the
French Courier, The journal of De-
bates into The Journal of the EN-
pire. Their columns were filed with
laudations of the emperor; their po-
itical articles were virtually com.
posed in the foreign Office, and there
was not a symptom of anything like
the existence of party feeling. A
luckless journalist, having been al
lowed to make statements concern
ing the luxury at court, the offend
ing paper was given to understand
that the emperor would tolerate
nothing contrary to his interests

the boy got too near the beast, the ele-
plant seized him with his trunk
and tried to crush the little fell

tunately, came to the rescue in the nick
of time and attacked the beast with a
pitchfork, when the elephant let 60 of
the boy and went for the man, who
