In the last fifteen years Miss Barton has
gone into eleven fields of calamity such as
Michigan fires, Kansas cyclones, Missis-
sippi floods, Johnstown disaster and Sea
Island disaster. England, Russia, France
and Germany are about to adopt this
clause, as they see that it is a very ueces-
sary one in fUrthering the work Of the
Red Cross.
IN Japan the emperor is the president of
the Red Cross Society. In America Miss
Barton is the head. In Russia the car

she dld her first public work in 1863, when
a Massachusetts regiment returned to her
native town and she saw that there was
a need of corps of nurses to take care of
the wounded. She afterward extended
hef services to President Lincoln, which
We're gladly accepted and from that time
until the close of the war she did such
eihclent service that her name became
known all the world over and she was call

After the war she interested herself
Identifying the dead at Audersonville and
out OF 1900 identified all but 400
After doing this she procured such of
thelr effects as she could and forwarded
them to their relatives, and continued
the work until there no longer became any
need for it. She also found lost families,
many of whom had moved from one place
to another during the war and could not
be found by the soldiers when they re-
turned home. This seems almost incom-
prehenslble but Miss Barton located over
one hundred missing families that had
been driven to distant parts of the coun-
try. She also previously, during the war
took charge of the letters for the soldiers,
and established a postoffice of her own,
which did very effective work in communi-
cation.
From rich girl, the daughter of a
Massachusetts manufacturer, she became
a Woodworking public woman, and has
lived into what is almost a green old age
working steadily all the time. She has
marvellous vitality, and has been known
to stay twenty hours on a stretch on the
battlefield. This vitality she has retain
ed, and, as shown in Armenia, she is as
strong in endurance as ever.
On her return from these errands of
mercy she tells no tales, and beyond Civ

goes to Cuba she will come back with none
of Weyler's secrets nor will she tell to
him any of the plans of the United States
senate, however well informed she may be
of their future intentions.

PROTECTION FROM SNAKES,
Good Results Obtained From the
Vaccination of Large Animals.
From Longmans Magazine.


From Longmans Magazine
The task Of artifcially rendering animals
immune from snake poison is not an easy
one, for the process depends upon train
ing the animals to gradually withstand
larger and larger doses of the venom, and
considering the intensely toxic character
of the substance which had to be handled
the danger was ever present of the animal
succumbing to venom poison before it's
protective power to render it of service
as an anti-toxin. DIR. Calmette tells us
that he carried out a very large number of
experiments before he met with success.
But it is not necessary here to discuss his
various efforts; suffice it to say that at
length his labors were rewarded, and the
following extract from one of his me-
moirs describes the methods which he
now adopts for the purpose: 1.-THE best
method of procedure for the purpose of
vaccinating large animals destined to por-
duce anti-venomous serum consists in in
jecting them from the outset with gradu-
ally increasing quantities of the venom
of the cobra mixed with diminishing guam
titles of l to 90 solution of hypochlorite
lime.
1.-THE condition and the variations in the
weights of the animals are carefully fol-
lowed, in order than the injections may
be made less frequently If the animals do
not thrive well. Quantities of stronger
and stronger venom are in turn injected,
first considerably diluted and then more
concentrated, and when the animals have
acquired a sufficient immunity the VEN
oms derived from as large a number OF
different species of snakes as possible are
INJECTED. The duration of the treatment
Is of considerable length-at least, fifteen
months-before the serum is sufficiently
active to be used for the purpose Of treat
ment."
During the last three years an immense
number of animals have been vaccinated
by this method at the Pasteur Institute
at Lille

BAD MEN TO THE END.
wounded and Captured Bandits
Whose Nerve Nothing But Death
Could Destroy.

Could Destroy.
From the Kansas City Journal
''The old adage that there's honor
among thieves was proven true in the his
tory of the bad men who infested the In
dian Territory and Oklahoma when out
siders moved into that fertile land" said
Ed Kelley of Guthrie, o. T. Mr.. Kelley
has been a deputy United States marshal
in Oklahoma for many years, and was
prominent leader of the posse that so often
gave battle to the hard riders and free
hooters of that country. He has ridden
the trail behind the Daltons, Zip Wyatt
Tulsa Jack, and all the other long-haired
gun men, and captured plenty of the small
fry of ''onery cusses' of the frontier He
knows all about the gangs and can cali
their names and tell the end of the many
who have been taken.
Yes, SIR he continued, there was
honor among the thieves there, and of
the many I've seen taken never knew
one who would squeal on his pals when
he was captured or shot. They hated the
deputy marshals, and when we had a
shooting match and they would get the
worst of it they would die cursing us and
howl with glee if they could learn We
wanted certain information or that some
of our plans had miscarried. 1 saw one
member of Tulsa Jacks party, when he
had a dozen bullet holes in him and was
dying, raise up on his elbow, damn every
deputy marshal he could see, and swear
he could whip any man in the territory
single-handed if he had a gun, and an even
chance. When they were shot, and dis
armed they would try to grab our pistols
from us when we were endeavoring to
make them comfortable. They would fight
to the last, but they wouldn't give a pal
away. They played a. hard game, but
they took defeat like men when it came
They are pretty well cleaned out of the
country down there now"

WILL EXCoMMUNICATE BRIDES.
At st. Louis on Thursday Archbishop
Kain enlarged upon an order promul-
gated some time ago that has shock
ed and startled the upper circles of Ca
tholicism in that city to degree never
before excited by any church order, for
the reason that it touches so closely to
the domestic peace of communicates.
The order seems to have been pre-
cipitated by the controversy that has
arisen over the the approaching mar
riages OF Miss Josephine Rowley to DIR
W. l.. Whipple and of Miss Frances
Holmes to Charles Orthwein. The
brides-to-be are devout Catholics, while
the groomsmen are Protestants. Ali
are leaders in society circles. The
iancees and their influential friends
nave pleaded with the Archbishop in
vain to relax his rule and permit them
to be married at home by priest, but
the Archbishop is obdurate and has
sternly told the young women that both
will be instantly communicated it
they marry non-belivers.
rhe young women will forsake III
church of their faith for the men they
love.
The climax came Thursday, when the
Archbishop announced that all brides
maids and groomsmen of the Catholic
faith who Off ,iated at either of these
weddings would also be excommuni-
Gated.
Both weddings are to be elaborate
affairs, with many attendants-or, at
least, that has been the programme.
Now all is chaos. Several leading
Catholic laymen have spoken out
against the rigidity of the Archbishop,
and it looks as if there would be an
exodus of prominent Catholics from
their churches.

its way to the fat wooden guard box

wrath every 'ime trolley car passed
under it.
The cries attracted the attention of
folks on the sidewalk, and they, in
turn, protested against what seemed to
be the torture of the cat.
Finally trolley car was stopped d.
rectly under the place whence the
yows seemed to come. The motorman
climbed to the top of the car AMI at

The repair men seized the Cat amid
much excitement on the part of the cat

Just as the man with the cantanker-
Gus and ungrateful beast in his arms
stepped into the body of the repair Wa

Its way loose aud made a mad
break for home and freedom.
Nobody knew where it went, and the
