Bacterial Attractions.

Prof. Ray Lancaster. in a recent lee
ture in England, gave a clear and easily
understood explanation of how ~inocula-
tons of mild disease will cure or pre-
vent the severer kinds. P%rotoplasm, he
said. had the capacity for being taught
to toleratea chemical action from which
it naturally shrank. A mass of proto-
plasm attracted in the direction of a So
luton of sulphate of iron would at first
grow down to the edge of it and then
draw back. but in a little time would
plunge boldly through and across it.
and this protoplasm thenceforth would
have no fear of sulphate of iron. The
aEleoboid corpuscles of the blood are
attracted by what is called "chemo-
taxis' TO the germs of disease entering
the body and swallow them up; but
these bacteria in their TURF produce a
poison which repels the corpuscles.
The latter, however. can be taught by
gradually increasing doses to tolerate
the poison, and in this way the body can
acquire an immunity against even the
full strength of the ~disease.-Washing-
ton Star.

The Horrors of
Rheumatism.
II uO0nzau's account Of torture aAlA lasted three
years; Of her struggles against tile dreadful disease,
and the good fortune mat q onzied her efforts.

Such suffering as rheumatism causes the
victims upon whom it fastens itself is al
most uncomfortable.
Sufferers from the worst types OF this ter
ribk disease will supply the missing hot
rors in the following story from real life.
Those who writhe under milder forms
Of rheumatism will be able to imagine the
feelings of the tortured victim.
The only Justification for making public
such heart-rending details Is the fact that
the lesson taught will be helpful to others,
pointing the way to renewed Life and health
to every sufferer from rheumatism.
The story Is told by a woman Her
name Is Mrs. Caleb Fenly; she Lives IN
ST. Pau1, Ind.
This is her account;
II am a farmers wife. I believe my.
frequent exposure to the weather caused
my terrible attack of rheumatism. Damp
weather always aggravated it.
"My limbs would begin to swell at the
ankle joints.
"This swelling would begin In the night,
at times. Iwould awake Ia agony.

In color, swollen to twice their natural size,
and so racked with pain I could not bear

Shots From the Times.Herald.

A cablegram from Madrid says:
''Spain is readyforpeace with honor"
Uncle Sam is bound to have both.
1t will be noticed, however, that
none of the rough riders who fell the
other day was shot in the back.
The Louisville Courier-J says:
"It will soon be Santiagone." This
is certainly Santiagoniziug.
Ii Camara goes through the Suez
canal Spain will very soon find out
Watson the program next.
Advices from New York state that
Miss Lillian Russell is about to shed
another husband.
Camara is going a long way to
hunt for trouble; he could find it
much nearer home.
1t seems queer that we can't lick
Spain without licking internal rev.
enue stamps also.

The gross earnings OF 132 American
railroads for the first five months of
the present year show an increase, as
compared with the corresponding
period of 1897. of $40. 902. $50. The ag-
gregate gross earnings OF these roads
We're S224, 76l, Ill. For the single
month of May the gross earnings of

Increase of S5,1H,201 This figures

ar TWO cents of the average best

Camara and His Fleet.

1t is hardly probable that Admiral
Camara will be reckless enough to
go to the Philippines, even if he passes
through the Suez canal, which he has
not yet done. Such a o would
be the acme of folly on the part OF
Spain. Camara is probably maneu-
vering to hoodwink Americans. His
departure for the Philippines would
be the signal for a move on the part
of this country against the Canaries
and the coast of Spain, and the Span
ish armada would not have proceed
ed very far before our flying squadron
would be steaming across the Allan
tic prepared to do the enemy meal
culable damage. Possibly the fleet
has been ordered away from the
home port to pacify the restless
elements of Madrid, who are anxious
to see Spain DO something aggres-
sive. Even should it go to engage
Dewey the Spanish fleet would meet
with disaster, as it has only one or
two ships that are superior to those
comprising the American fleet at Ma
Mia. Besides, Admiral Dewey would
see that the bay was mined and
C~orregidor island made wellnigh i'm
passable.
There is little to be feared from Ad-
miral Camara and his fleet, hence his
are of very little concern.
He will probably not get far away
from home.

Things to Remember,

Sharpen all kinds of fish sauce with
lemon juice. When using vanilla for
fiavoring, add half a teaspoonful of
peach extract. A dash of black pepper
greatly improves vanilla ice cream. Pit
sugar in water used for basting meats
of all kinds; il adds a Acv3~. especially
to veal. Add a cupful of good date vine
gar to the water in which you boil fish.
especially if it is salt fish. Chocolate is
greatly improved by adding a teaspoon
full of strong coffee just before serv-
ing; a teaspoonful of sherry also helps.
When baking fish place on the top thin
slices of salt pork; it bastes the fish and
improves the flavor. To give an appe-
thing flavor to a broiled beefsteak rub a
cut onion over the hot platter with the
butter. Three tablespoonfuIs of freshly
made Japan tea, with a pinch of nut
meg, imparts an indescribable flavor to
apple pie. To improve sweetbreads and
give them a fine flavor, soak them in
mild lemon juice water al hour, and
then boil 90 minutes in beef stockholm

Widow Barber Calls Herself s.MSss.,
A young widow, whose husband died
two years ago, has opened a barber
shop, and her sign reads: Miss Boyd,
Barber" Asked why she called herself
miss" h naively replied that she had
good business reasons; that men
seemed to prefer TO be shaved and "ton-
sorialized" by an unmarried woman;
they seem to hesitate at having their
hair cut by a woman whose husband
might come in and offer to attend to the
customer himself. If my sign read

single seems to be more attractive than
