The city council may hold a very long or
a very short session this afternoon. II il
attempts to dispose of all the business
which should come before it, it will be "a
very long session.
Some Of the aldermen are in favor Of
adjourning the meeting over a day or two
or at least holding only a short session,
as there are a number of other matters
on hand which demand their attention.
There is a lot Of committee work to be
attended to and then some of the alder
men want to take in the trip on the steam
er John Rourke, gotten up for the benefit
Of the visiting city and county officials.
Among the matters to come before the
meeting is the petition Of the Warren
Scharf Asphalt Company, for the accept
ance of the pavement on OglethOrpe ave
nue., and the payment of the amount due
upon the contract. The street and lane
committee IS said to be opposed to the ac-
ceptance of the pavement, holding that
the company has not complied with it's
contract.
The council may have an investigation
of its own. The s. 2. Shotter Company
has preferred charges of incompetency
against J. +. McEachern, a naval stores
inspector. The inspectors are elected by
council and can only be removed by that
body.
The petition Of the fire commission for
an appropriation with which to purchase

At the Tennessee centennial exposition are
being exhibited the cd cabin birthp.aces Of
TWO famous American citizens. These cabins
are genuine, as certified by affdavits in the
possession Of the owner and exhibitor. The
Rev. w. G. Brigham, a Methodist minister,
While travelling circuit which embraced parts
of Todd and Hardin counties, Kentucky,
bought the two cabins and the land on which
they stood. One OF the cabins was built by
Tom Linkhorn, and in it he lived with his
wife, Nancy Hanks. In the cabin. without
floor, Abe Lincoln was born in the year 1909.
Every log except a few that did not with
stand the ravages of time ard the weather, is
preserved. The other cabin is one in which
the president OF the late Confederacy was
born. 1t came from near Fairview, Todd
county, Kentucky. Mr.. Davis was born here
in 1903, and when sixty-six years old was
given banquet by old citizens of Fairview
in the very same cabin. In responding to a
toast he referred to the fact that he had
stood in the halls of the Montezumas, in the
halls of congress and in other historic places
in America and other countries, but none
of these had stirred his emotion as much as
when once again standing in the cd cabin
IN which he was born.-Nashville Banner.

HORSE AT MEDICAL SCHOOL.
Knew the Students by Their Badges
and Called when He Was Lame

Zone reads so many stories about animal
intelligence that it would be hazardous for
doubter to express his disbelief in almost any
gathering of men at the present day. re-
marked DR.. w. H. Watkins the other day.
"A little instance came within my own OBJ
servation a number of years ago when l was
studying medicine, and which convinced me
that the members of the horse family, at
least, ought to be credited with the posses
sion of a very considerable quantity of rea-
students at the medical institution at which
l pursued my studies to wear a small badge
upon their coats to distinguish them from
others at the college. A horse belonging to
the establishment used a great deal
about the medical department and the animal
seemed to nave special preference for the
embryo doctors more than for any other peo-
pie about the establishment. One day, while
a number of us were gathered in a little
knot upon small campus in the rear of the
college, the animal in question, which used
to nip the grass in tie location, came toward
the group lmping very badly. He came to
a stop a dozen or more feet from the crowd
made Up his mind as to what he wanted TO
do, and without any hesitation imped direct
ly to my side, whnnied stuck his nose
against my body and held up his left fore
leg. Looking down l discovered large nail
Embedded ip the frog of his hcof This had
evidently caused the lameness l then real

sired attendance. 1 extracted the nail with
some difficulty, and the horse whimpered with
relief and walked away. Rather curious as to
why the beast had picked me out to at

one Of the group had his medical badge
upon his coat, but myself. The horse had
recognized the insignia, and acted according

TRIED TO STOP LoNDoN's GROWTH.
Laws of the Sixteenth Century De-
signed to Prevent OvercrOwding
OF Population

1t is curious feature in the growth of
London that it has always been considered
TO be oYerbuilt, says the London Standard
AS far back as 1880 it was forbidden to
erect new buildings where none had existed
before in the memory of man"-the reason
given being that lit was calculated to en-
courage the existence Of the plague; create
a trouble in governing such multitudes;
bring about a dearth Of victuals; multiplying
OF beggars, and an inability to relieve them;
an increase of artisans more than could lie
together; impovershing other cities for lack
of Inhabitants" The decree also stated that
lack Of air arose out of too crowded a city"
But 1t was impossible to stem the increasing
tide of population. The only result was to
cause overcrowding, which proved a stiL
greater evil than overpopuation, and led up
to the horrors Of the plague year. Even at
the beginning of the century, when London
consisted of coo buildings, standing in
5000 streets, it was decided that London was
overgreWn and too big; and there was an out
cry because the parishes had to pay 100000
per annum to scavengers for removing ashes
and refuse from the houses, whereas in form
er years the scavengers used to pay the
parish ESQ for the privilege of taking away
the ashes for brickmaking purposes. Those
were evidently the days of the Golden
Dustman." Yet building went on until in
1873 there were 6,132 miles of streets and
52S, 794 inhabited houses. During the queens
lifetime cobbled rCadways have almost disap-
peared; cabs and omnbusses have come
into vogue, railways have supp,anted the
stage coach; the toll gates which met
Londoners at every turn have been pulled
down; the Fleet prison has gone, with others

The interesting observations recently re-
corded regarding the freedom from the effects
of mosquito bites and bee stings, which may
be induced by previous injuries of this kind
demand a word of notice. The idea implied
by/this immunity is that previous bites or
stfngs inoculate the Blood with some pr:n-
ciple or toxin derived from the poison,
which in its turn protects the body from fresh
attack. An analogy can be seen between this
naturally produced immunity and that which
IS presented by the treatment of diphtheria
with the anti-toXin of the disease. One writer
told his experiences to the effect that, being
a beekeeper, he had never suffered from stings
after he had been once very severely stung
by swarm. Probably his system had be-
come thoroughly inocuated by the big dose
Of poison he then received. OF mosquito bites
the same experience has been related. But
what will be of interest to biologists is the
recital of yet another correspondent that
such freedom from mosquito stings is not in
variably met with as a consequence of fire.
quent bites. 1t is an illustration of a law
have never been weary Of pointing out
when unreasonable people have argued that,
because process or treatment did not act
invariably and in all cases in the same way
it was, therefore, of no value at al. The law
refer to is that which teaches us that when
we are dealing with living beings we cannot
expect TO find mathematical certainty in our
results. Life is very different thing. in all
its variability, from mathematical and exact
