Tee OF Tubsreulla

We have Just heard OF the following
facts In connection win the use OF tn
berculln. says the Rural New Yorker.
Three cows were tested several years
ago and gave the usual reaction. They
were taken out OF the regular stables
and put In sunny box stalls aud given
the best sanitary conditions. The fol.
lowing year they were tested again. and
again reacted. The next year they we're
again tested. but failed 10 react. After
they were slaughtered, an examination
Of the lungs showed that the disease had
been stopped-the scars or marks show.

two things. Sunshine aud perfect san.

eddy weakened and made more liable 10
the disease by being kept In dark, filthy
aud poorly ventilated stables. Another
thought "a that while tubereulln may
prove an accurate test for the presence
Of the disease, II does not follow tina,
every Gov that shows the reaction
should be killed at once. A COW may
have the germs OF the disease In her
system and yet be 80 we'll cared for
that she will entirely recover.

Securing Wool With Naphtha.-The
Buenos Ayres River Plate Review says:
In a new method Of securing wool
naphtha Is employed as the cleansing
substance. by means OF a pump the
naphtha h forced through and through
the wool, extracting all the natural oil.
Il Is claimed that the naphtha does not
lniure the flber Of the wool. a. alkall
cleansing, but leaves the fleece IN bet
ter condition than when cleansed by
any other process A further valuable
feature OF The new method Is that after
the grease Is extracted from Il the
naphtha Is In a pure state. thereby be-
coming valuable as a medical agent or
for a saponlhcaior into the purest OF
soaps. Il Is claimed that a plant fol-
lowing this method secured 500.O0O
pounds OF wool, ard saved a product d
10000 pounds In pure wool OIL"

A Texan Explains Why the Prize
Fight Did Not Come OF.
From the Inter-Ocean.

From the Inter-Ocean.
They tell a rather good story on MEM
ber of the directory of the State Fair Asso-
citation Of Dallas, Texas. On October 81
last, it will be remembered, the fight that
failed at Hot Springs. Ark, was origin
ally billed for Dallas. Just outside the
fence which forms the fair grounds in that
city the big amphitheater, almost COM
pleted, reared it's towering sides. The fair
was on, but the attendance was very small.
1t was o'clock in the afternoon, and the
director was showing a friend over the
place, when the following colloquy took
place:
Director-There it stands, just outside the
fence and if the governor and his puritani-
cal legislators had not stopped that fight
we would have had an attendance Of 100000
here today.
Friend-Indeed!
DIRECTORIES, Sir; the calling together Of
the legisla ture in extra session and the
passing Of that anti-fght bill cost Dallas
and the state of Texas at least S2QOO,OO0.
Friend-How is that?
Director-Well, If Cuberson had not in
terfered we would have had $4,000 strangers
here to see the fights, and each of these
would have spent on an average $40 during
their stay. There you are!
Friend-Thats too bad.
Director-It'S worse than that Heigh-ho!
1t is useless, though to try and educate
people up to the niceties of glove contest
in a community where they don't wear
gloves!

These six prisons are Mazas, Sainte-Pelag1e,
Saint-Lazare the Sante, and the Cranoe
and the Little Roquette.
Mazas was originally prison es-aoi'sned
to make a trial of the solitary confinement
system Cknown throughout Europe as the
Philadelphia plan) This purpose Is now
abandoned, and Mazas remains technically
"a house OF preventive detention. Pre-
ventive detention, in France, means the
holding of an accused person for months
before his trial-which may never come on
And Mazas is no other than modern fr-
responsible Bastille to serve the present
governors of France. It Is able to hold
12GO detenus, each in a separate cell.
The prison of Sainte-Pelagie, with ca
pacity for $50 prisoners. is supposed to re-
ceive (a) Journalists, condemned for politi-
cal or other improper writings; tb) prisoners
for debt Gin cases where Sucn imprison-

The DisaEreeably Outspolsen People
and Their Tyranny.
From Harper's Bazaar.
We hear much of the divine right of
kings, but it remains to be proved by what
right far from divine, some people make
speeches to which others dare not give ut
terance? By what right does your neigh
Dor criticise the management of your
house. your family. and even of yourself,
when you never think of interfering with
her affairs? Why should she tell you that
your dress is too short, your hat unbecom-
ing, your hair roughened by the wind,
when you keep thoughts uncomplimentary
to her personal appearance to yourself?
Why should she be allowed to give vent
unchallelged, to censure and impertinence
one-fifth of which, If uttered by yourself
would condemn you in the eyes of all your
acQuaintanceS as unnannerly and under
bred? And if your officious friend believes
she has the right to say what she pleases
who gives 1t to her? Certainly not her
long-suffering victim, who wrthes under
the sharp lash of the privileged tongue.
Whatsoever right the disagreeably out
spoken woman has, and by whomsoever it
has been bestowed, it is time that Society
for the Protection of Long suffering Hu-
manity deprived her of the right which
is nothing less than wrong"

rickety, narrow tables. each with a dozen
round tin basins filled with lukewarm
beans or other vegetable. The altar Is MD
den by a canopy, removed on Sundays.
They take their seats and tin basins In
silence. There is moments pause, and
then begins the clatter Of the wooden
spoons For each prisoner, for his sole
outfit, is furnished with (a) a wooden
spoon, Cb) a rough towel. and (c) red
bandana handkerchief. The food OF this
one meal varies. Some days 1t is dish Of
beans-red beans. Other days it is rice,
lentils or a generous mass of scraps. On
Sundays only is hunk of cold boiled meat
thrown into the beany mess. Meat once q
week. At this dinner the other food Is
