thought they could make their way
in London by renouncing their Ameri-
oanism or by disparaglng their own
country, II so, they knew nothing of
the English before whom they abased
themselves. IL ever Lowells large
charity grew strict, it was for such as
these.
There was report-one of many set
afoot with no other apparent object
than to give annoyance-that MIR,
Lowell would take up his abode in
Oxford when relieved of his duties as
American minister. This particular
story was of Mr.. Labouchere's coinage,
any rate it appeared in the weekly
periodical which that eminent Radical
publishes and edits under the equivo-
cal, or perhaps, cynical name Truth"
Twill you contradict that foolish
story?" writes Lowell; and I did; not
that l thought contradiction of much
avail, nor do / suppose Lowell did.
Mr.. Lowell was a favorite and favor
ed guest at Windsor Castle. The queen
knew Mr. Lowell had published books
less probable that she had read them;
least probable of all that they were the
foundation of the regard she had for
him. The regard was due to his per-
sonal qualities, and to the fact that he
was known to her as the advocate of
a good understanding between the
kingdom over which she rules and the
great commonwealth beyond the seas
which her grandfather flung away.

ANOTHER coon 1r0YE.

The Police commissioners last even
ing TOOK another step forward and
dealt with an important matter in the
right way. Two efficient officers found
a lost dog. The owner of the dog was
so pleased to see his faithful friend back
that he handed out five dollar bill for
the benefit of the officers. The recep-
ton of this treasure was promptly and
honestly reported to the superinten-
dent Last evening a motion was
made in the board that the money be
divided between the two officers ac-
cording to the usual custom Objection
was made and sustained and the money
was ordered into the pension fund.
The amount involved in this episode
is small. but the principle involved is
great. The policemen are paid for do
ing their duty by the city, and they
should-hot be in any way encouraged
to expect or claim rewards from cfti-
zens for doing that which is their duty
to do 1t may perhaps be urged that
they would not profit much from the
donations of grateful citizens if they
were allowed to have all that might be
given them. Probably they wouldn't
Grateful citizens are not very nuner-
Gus or rich. But it is better to have it
thoroughly understood that no police
men can, with the approval of the
Board, receive and keep money or a
valuable present of any kind for doing
his plain duty That IS the clean and
the safe way, and the commissioners
are to be commended for their action
in this matter. 1t adds one more to the
indications that the new Police COM
mission means business, and the right
kind of business.

THE OTHER SIDE.

Some savage attacks by distinguished
doctors have lately been made upon
the antitoxin treatment of diphtheria,
but impressive facts on the other side
continue to be made public For in
stance, the report of the London Board
of Metropolitan Asylums shows the re-
antitoxin has been employed in the
treatment of diphtheria. In 1894, be-
fore antitoxin was employed there
were 3,042 cases of diphtheria in the six
hospitals, and 902 of the patients died,
representing a mortality of 296 per
cent. In 1895 there were $500 cases and
1856 deaths, representing a mortality Of
225 per cent, or of IL per cent. below
that of the previous year. The reduc
ton, the report says, must be fairly set
down to the use of antitoxin, for there
was no other change in the treatment
the average severity of the disease was
about the same in the two years, while
the proportion of juvenile patients, to
whom the disease is most fatal, was
somewhat larger in 1895 than in 1894.
But these figures do not tell the whole
tale, for the new drug was not used in
all the cases which came under treat
ment, but, as a rule, only in the severer
| eases. The lives preserved, therefore,
were just those which were most likely
| to be lost. The results at the Northern
| hospital in post-searlatinal cases were
more favorable still In 1895 there
were 119 cases and four deaths In the
three previous years there had been an
aggregate of 119 cases and rs deaths.
The reduction in 1895 is ascribed by the
medical superintendent wholly to the
use of antitoxin, which caused the re-
covery of cases which would formerly
| have been regarded as hopeless In
| order, however, to secure the full effect
| of the drug it is necessary that it should
be employed at an early stage of the
disease. So administered. it served il
1895 to reduce the mortality from % !
to 4.6 per cent. in cases which came I'M
| der treatment on the first day of tbs
disease, and from q per cent to 14.N
in cases which came under treatment

lie was an American with the culture
or Europe, but with no great knowl-
edge OF the Europe of to-day outside
OF It's literature and art. One of the
1rksome parts of his diplomatic duty
was the necessity of continually see
ing people who did not interest him,
and of discussing affairs which to his
mind were trivial, because they did not
relate to such matters as he thought
of the highest import. AS for society,
he looked upon that as most trivial
of all. Against the social obligation
which connects itself with diplomacy,
and, indeed, forms an integral part of
1t he protested stoutly
During the first part of his life in
London as minister he would hardly
accept an invitation which was not
official, and, therefore, to him, irresti-
bic. The giving of dinners was a thing
he abhorred, unless he was allowed to
collect about him the few men and wo-
men for whom he really cared. Them
he would have liked to see constantly,
to the entire exclusion of the outer
circle. Later, whom, nevertheless, he
was bound to ask, after he had become
reconciled to the routine of dinner, he
used to complain humorously of the
strain it put upon his faculties, and to
excuse himself for what he thought
monotonous in his dinner lists. MY
wife has no acquaintance and / have
no invention. You must not mind
meeting the same people so often"
Mrs. Lowell was too much of an in
valid to be able to take charge of these
complicated matters.
He cared more for culture than for
character: not in the broader sense
but as 1nenas of social attractive
ness. The men of culture were those
with whom he liked best to talk. and
after them the New England farmer,
the stout yoemanry among whom he
had grown up. or. perhaps, even the
barroom loafer who. like the farmer.

GREAT. IF TRUE. NEyS.

A great deal of interesting, if true,
news comes out of Chicago, but no
more interesting, if true, news has
lately come out of that great news
center than the news that the scien-
lists of medical college there think
that they have demonstrated that by
the use of the newly found x ray,
''epidemics will be impossible in the
future" They claim that Asiatic chol-
era is no more to be feared than ear
ache, and that diphtheria, chambers,
and typhoid must all yield to the new
remedy. The germs of the various
zymotic diseases were duly developed,
In their proper media, in the Crookes
tube, where magnetic lines of force"
were passed through them. The chol-
era germ is said to have been absolute
ly destroyed under the new rays, and
the bacteria of diphtheria seemed quite
dead, after eight days of waiting and
examination. The same thing was
noted with the bacteria of typhoid and
scarlet fever, and the other germs. 1t
is added that ''the doctors are now
ready to announce that the ray, prop
eriy applied, will destroy any form of
infectious or contagious germs
Good enough. Now let some scientist
discover and announce that the x
rays will bring to life those who have
mad the good or bad fortune to die
before the discovery of the rays.

TOLD HIM TO HOLLER.
Representative Bailey Found Yer
Obedient CIaque.
(From the New York Tribune.)

(From the New York Tribune.)
Representative Bailey is one of the
most picturesque figures in congress
He affects constitutional law, wears a
broad expanse of shirt front, losses q
mass of wavy black hair and glories
in a sweeping sombrero. Mr. Bailey's
beast is that Texas congressional dis
tricts are as big as New England
states. He is the subject of a story
and it would be wrong to tell who is
the author Of it, as Mr.. Bailey is hot
blooded man. The story is that when
Mr.. Bailey first entered public life in
Texas he was comparatively unknown
He was anxious to forge to the front,
however, and to make himself heard
on every occasion. A large meeting
was to be held in a neighboring town.
Bailey went to it on horseback He
fell in with a traveller, and in the
course of conversation about speakers,
remarked: Did you ever hear of
Bailey?" The yokel replied that he
had not. We'll" said Bailey, che is
good speaker and is going to be there
to-day. If you get chance yell for
him and you will get speech worth
listening to- The traveller promised.
The meeting came off, and several
speakers were heard. Finally there
was lull, and then someone in the
audience began to yell: Bailey!
B-a-i-l-e-y'!' The master of cere-
monies turned to Bailey and led him
to the rostrum Bailey started to
speak, but the shouter continued to
yell, "B-a-i-l-e-yn' Bailey stopped. The
master of ceremonies said genially: If
our friend will keep still Mr.. Bailey
will continue his address. The gentle
man speaking is Mr.. Bailey The
only reply to this was howl Of dis
gust from the man who had been maxi
ing all the noise. and he blurted out:
why, that's the long haired galoot
that told me to boiler for Bailey!'

Good Sense Rules in Wheeling Costumes
New sorts of bicycle costumes crop
out every little While, and this seasons
lot show wisdom gained from past eX-
perience in at least one important par
ticular. That is, there is less sign of
strenuous endeavor on the part of the
designers to make a skirt for the wheel
turn into q ordinary skirt by some in
genious device and thus serve a dou-
Bile purpose. This is done, of course, in
many ways, but experienced riders go
in for q skirt that is a comfortable as
possible for riding, and don't try to
make it do double duty. One new cut
of skirt is made with the necessary

There appears to be great demand
in England for California redwood, and
while in California the wood is very
common and is used for building fences
and barns in England it commands a
fancy price. Last week a ship took
aboard at Oakland a cargo of more
than 100000 feet of redwood, and an
other ship was preparing to take on an
even larger load The shipments were
a novelty and a speculation, and if
thew bring good returns the California
lunbermen will have new avenue of
profit opened to them.

The Boston Journal has received
from a number of mill officers and
agents replies to queries as to whether
the recent action of the Lawrence Man
ufacturing company in going out of the
business Of making cotton goods was
an indication that that manufacture is
gc.rc to decrease in New England,
whether southern competition is TOO
great, etc. The replies are to the effect
that all coarser goods will eventually
have to be made in the South but that
while the South will absorb this bust
ness, good northern mills will continue
to find much profitable business If not
hampered by too much restrictive leg
islation.

either side of the saddle at the back
but another piece is added to the skirt
This is attached to the belt at the back
and is like a little apron when the rider
is in place, hanging from the belt
straight down, hiding the saddle en-
tirely and extending almost to the
wheel. With this gown on the rider in
back view shows no division of cos
tune till a point far below the point
usually made. The only objection to
the apron seems to be that unless it is
carefully adjusted in length to the
heighth of the saddle, it may come too
long and sweep the edge of the wheel,
or else it may get caught under and be
sat on when the saddle slips into place,
in which case its service is not rem
dered

somewhat on the Redingote order with

few gathers at the back. The jacket,
which is attached, has a small turn
down collar in back and revers in
front. A vest Of light gray cloth fast
ening with smoked pearl buttons is
worn inside the Jacket, and a white
chemisette and black four inland tie

In his Monticello address ex-Gover-
nor Russell said nothing more weighty
than the following: One further ques-
ton remains, for whose solution we
turn to Jefferson for help and guidance.
We are in earnest agitation over our
monetary standard. The agitation
crosses party lines and tends to geo
graphical division. 1t involves the well
fare of our country and demands ey-
plicit and courageous treatment. To
Jefferson it could never be an issue be-
tween Colorado and Wall Street, or be-
tween a debtor and creditor class.
His broad democracy abhorred geo
graphical and class division. With
true patriotism he would ask where
lie the honor and credit of our common
country, where rest the interests of our
whole people? For one, I believe that
our country's honor demands scrupu-
