&I,25O,OOO Per Pint.

Some of these growths, says a writer,
who is describing his visit to a germ
farm, are exceedingly expensive. In
deed, a rare bacillus seems to be as
valuable in its way as a scarce orchid.
| was shown, for instance, a species
known as the bacillus indicus ruber,
which is found only in the stomach Of
certain monkeys. and for colony Of
which ten-pOund note was asked.
On the other hand, you can buy
enough scarlet fever micrococci to in
feet decent sized town for 50 so, while
twice that sum will provide you with
a choice collection of fine, healthy
typhoid germs. Leprosy bacilli come
expensive, though $25 per colony;
while as much as $40 is asked for
selected colonies of the bacillus of con-
junctivitis or typhus. This would
work out at something like S1,250,000
per pint.

In Iceland there are no prisoners,
and the inhabitants are so honest in
their habits that such material de-
lenses to property as locks, bolts and
bars are not required. Yet it's history
for the past thousand years records
no more than two thefts.
OF these two cases one was that of
a native who was detected after steal
ing several sheep; but as he had done
so to supply his family, who were suf-
fering for want of food, when he had
broken his arm, provisions were fur
nished to them and WORK was found
for him when he was able to do it, and
meanwhile he was placed under med
ical care; but the stigma attached to
his crime was considered sufficient
punishment.
The other theft was made by
German, who stole seventeen sheep.
But as he was in comfortable circum-
stances and the robbery was malicious,
the sentence passed upon him was
that he should at once sell all his
property.

The Rev. William Conan, depicts
grim old Martin Luther as man not
only fond Of the good things of life
but Of an almost Rabelaisian humor.
Says Mr.. Conan: 'In 1916, during his
last visit to Eisleben, the conversation
having turned upon sickness and
death, Luther playfully said, IF get
back to Wittenberg l will take to good
eating and drinking so that the worms
may have q fine fat doctor to devour.'
A grim joke, but it was the way of the
great man. The devil figures largely
In the jokes of the Reformer. Luther's
devils were a set of athletic, cross
grained ill-conditioned wretches, with
vile shapes and fiendish faces, who,
like the 'Killkrooph' of Germany, or
the Far Darrig' of Ireland, gave buff
fet for buffet, hate for hate, and joke
for joke. At one time in the cloisters
Of Wittenberg he heard that peculiar
noise which attests the devils pres
ence. 1t came from behind a stove,
resembling the sound of throwing a
faggot on the fire"

Tom, the Maine Cat.

Almost everybody has heard Of
Tom" the cat that was found on the
Superstructure of the Maine after the
explosion, says Mrs. Charles d. Sigs-
bee. Tom was wounded in one foot
and was doubtless feeling very blue
indeed, with his favorite sleeping place
destroyed no friendly hands to min
lister to his wants, and nothing but
water and ruin on every side! How
glad he must have been to hear a voice
that he knew, and to be taken on board
the United States steamer Fern, in
Havana harbor! A few days after, he
was placed upon chair to have his
picture taken. This chair was large
wicker armchair which was saved
from the wreck of the Maine. Tom
sat in 1t, and tried to look pleasant
as the photographer told him. He felt
peaceful, his foot was we'll, he had
just eaten his favorite meal of fish,
and the first pose was a success. A
second was attempted. Tom was al
most asleep, and looking very happy,
when Bruiser the Ferns dog-a big,
rough fellow with loud bark and
sharp white teeth--came near. Tom
arched his back like contortionist
fur stood out till he seemed twice his
natural size; and so the second picture
was taken.
Tom was quite a navy cat He was
brought on board the Maine by an
officer who took him from the United
States steamer Minnesota, where he
had been l don't know how long. II
Tom is still on shipboard, he must feel
very frightened wAen the big guns are
hred, and | fear his tail will become
permanently large, and his back con-
tinual bowl However, Bruiser left the
United States steamer Fern after Il
while, and appeared on board the st.
Paul, at Philadelphia. He was n
plucky, lively fellow. full of fun, and
no respector of persons. He would
just as soon rush into the captains
cabin as into the galley. Poor Bruser!
He was only a cur, although. while he
was a puppy, he concealed his pie
beian pedigree. In short time, how
ever, he showed his cur-like qualities,
and was sent on shore.

COURAGE OF A COWBOY,
He Swung Himself and His Horse Over n
yawning Chasm with a Rope.


Yawning Chasm with a Rope.
Speaking of the dare devil char
acteristics of western cowboys" said
an old plainsman. II recall an adven-
ture that might have proved fatal to
myself and "A man named Henry but
for the great presence of mind display
ed in an emergency by my cool-headed
companion. The incident happened in
Montana some years ago. We were
travelling along n narrow trail on the
border of The Grande Ronde river when
we suddenly came to a landslide that
was about twenty-five feet across and
left no trail in the smooth, precipitous
rock. The tran was so narrow that
our horses could not turn back and,
realizing that il would be folly to ex-
pect the animals to jump the chasm,
1T looked as though we were trapped.
But directly above the twenty-five
foot break in the trail there was huge
rock which was split in the centre.
Henry saw tn crack in the rock and
having a strong RATA seventy feet long
on his saddle, swung the rope over his
head and ,hen hurled it high in the
air. Being an expert in the use of the
RATA, 1t went true to the mark and was
soon firmly fixed in the crevice of the
rock.
"Whilc | was wondering what he
was going to do with the rope he took
in the slack and wound it around the
horn of his saddle, which was very
strong and supplied with double
cinches. Then he urged his horse to
the edge of the precipice.
"The faithful beast stood firm. He
would not step over. but Henry again
trew up the slack and pulled with all
might. Inch by inch he drew the
strainng horse forward till his feet
slipped and he swung over the yawn-
ing chasm. For moment | held my
breath and shut my eyes, expecting
to hear the slender rope snap and it's
burden disappear into the raging river
below.
when | did open my eyes he had
swung across the gap and, dismount-
ing, he backed up the trail and tugged
at the reins to aid the horse in gaining
his feet. He pulled hard and the ami
NAL lunged up into the trail, with the
chasm far behind.
"Safe on the other side, Henry urged
me to make the perilous trip in the
same way as he had done. For some
time | couldn't muster up the neces-
sary courage, but at last, when l real
lied that there was no other way of
continuing the journey, consented to
swing myself across the chasm. After
landing on the other side Henry re-
turned for my horse and having swung
the beast safety across the gap, we
rode away and left the rope dangling
for the use of the next wayfarer who
CHANGED to come that way.

Most Costly Sword In America.

One of the most interesting results
of the admiration of the masses for
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley is the
Peoples Sword" The Philadelphia
Times" engineered the subscriptions
for this beautiful gift, and in thirty
four days it raised the splendid sum
of $3,617.16. Much of this amount was
contributed in pennies, nickels and
dimes, and while the most of it came
from residents Of Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania there were few con-
tributions received from as far east
as Maine, from distant California and
from the loyal South.

EARNED, NOT BOUGHT.
Staying Power Counts In A Long And
Stern Chase.

Montpelier people need not be told how hard
it is to earn and maintain good reputation and
how easy it is to lose one. After such loss it
is well nigh impossible to recover the ground,
and the majority who have slipped by the way
side have been forced to stay there. As with a
mans reputation so it is with medicinal prepa-
rations Some achieve a reputation which
stays with them. 1t is founded on intrinsic
merit and not sustained by elaborate adver-
Using. 1t faces the public backed up by
honesty and works its way quietly but thor
oughly Montpelier people want no better
proof of the reputation earned by Doan's
Kidney Pills than the following experience
from a citizen:
Mr.. Frank Hardigan, who resides at No. .

surrendered to Ensign Curtin, of the
Wasp, then to the three officers who
strayed into II by mistake, then to
Commander Davis, and finally to
General Miles.
Ensign Curtin landed with a letter
for the military commander, which de-
manded the surrender of the port Of
the city. The captain of the port in
formed him that the military COM
mander was at Ponce, but that he
might be persuaded to surrender If the
American naval officer would conde-
scend to drive up to Ponce and make
his demands in person. The American
officer fairly shook and quivered with
Indignation. "Zounds!' and kindred
phrases would have utterly failed to
express his establishment.
How long will it take that military
commander to get down here If he
hurries?" demanded Ensign Curtin
The trembling captain of the port,
the terrified foreign consuls and the
custom-house officials thought a swift
moving cab might bring him to the
port in a half hour.
Have you a telephone about the
placer asked the Napoleonic Curtin.
They had.
Then call him up and tell him that
if he doesn't come down here in a hack
in thirty minutes and surrender
shall lombard Ponce
He turned his back on the terrified
inhabitants and returned to the gig.
-Four hacks started on mad race for
Ponce and the central officer of the
telephone rang with hurry calls.
On his way to the ship Ensign Curtin
met Commander Daveis on his way to
the shore. IL shall extend this time
another half hour" said Commander
Davis.
Ensign Curtin saluted sternly max
ing no criticism upon this weak gen
crosby OH the part of his superior
officer, but he could afford to be mag
unanimous. He at least had upheld
the honor of the navy, and he will
go down in the history of the war
as the MILDLY who demanded and OBJ
tanned surrender by telephone.
