willing to Take Calmette's Word.

When DR.. Albert Calmette, director of
the Pasteur institute at Lille, returned
from fighting the plague at Oporto day
or two ago, he drove straight to the FL
caro- office to shake hands with his broth
er, NJ. Castor Calmette, before leaving
Paris for Lille. He was welcomed by
several journalists who happened to be
present, among them NJ Emmanuel
Arenc, who gives q description of the
scene in the Eclair. DR.. Calmette had
left his luggage down stairs in cab. but
he carried in his hand little tin box,
which he put down carefully on the man
tclpiece. The doctor declared that oil his
experiments had been most successful,
so you know exactly what kind of
plague you had to deal with?" asked one
of the company.
"Of course DO" was the startling re-
ply, for ! have brought it back with
me" and the doctor calmly took the tin
box off the mantelpiece and, somewhat to
the horror of his listeners, began to open
1t.
He took out little glass tube hermcti-
cally sealed which contained something
that looked very much like clear glycerin.
There were millions Of microbes in Il,
though they were not very easy to see.
You have only to dip pin in this and
prick yourself" he said, land in ten
hours you would have the plague; in FIVE
days you would be dead. But you had
better take my word for It," he added
smlllngly, and every one cheerfully did.

Funerals In Peru.

According to social usage, women in
Peru cannot attend funerals. and they do
not appear at weddings unless they are
very intimate friends When n funeral
procession passes through the streets, the
coffin is carried upon the shoulders of the
pallbearers, who are followed by an
empty hearse drawn by two. four or six
horses according to the means of the
mourncrs and their desire for display. All
the male members of the family and
friends of the deceased follow on foot.
with line OF empty carriages behind
them. As long as they are in the presence
of the dead it is considered proper and
necessary evidence of respect to walk
After the body has been committed to the
grave those who attend the funeral are
Drought home in carriages.

In the Wrong House.

The late Judge Charles p. DAILY was
very fond Of telling stories. Ills friends
were very fond of listening to them. One
of his favortcs related to IN experience
he had in the Academy Of Music many
years ago. He had gone there to attend
lecture on higher mathematics. There
was a lecture on ireland being delivered
in Nilsson hall, next door. The Judge
would rather have been at the Irish lee
tnre, but wasn't free to follow his inclna-
tons, His attention wavcred and settled
on an elderly couple in front of him.
They werc evidently lrsh--as Irish rs
piece Of the old sod itself. They were
following the lecture with painful attcn-
hvcness. 1t was n very long lecture.
After awhile the lecturer paused to drink
Il glass of water.
Mike" said the woman, "how do you
like il 2"
Like! Like" snarlel the man. i've
listened to the fool for an hour, and not
a word has he spoken about Ireland yet"

low criminal to escape justice was to
become an accessory to his crime. But

Would not the stigma Of uotoriety for,

know that the crime might not be in Z

The dawn was just stealing 10 through

except the male attendant, leaning
against the door at his own end Of the
car, looking sleepily out. The man with
the glove was as still as the rest Of the
passengers, whether he was sleeping or
not.
After long reasoning came to the
conclusion that the conductor was the
proper person to consult with. The con-
ductor passed through, but l did not stop
him. My courage failed me. Then

The conductor entered the car again.
l signaled him to approach and was
about to tell him what had seen when
somehow my tongue refused to shape
the fatal words Of accusation, and l
simply inquired of him what time the
train would reach Chicago. At that
same moment there flashed across my
mind the thought that ii was within the
range Of possibility that was mistaken
in my suspicious. Cut fingers were COM

weird terror and hate and desperation
that l had read in the mans face as he
had sat casing out Of the window
previous night.
1t was time for me to act. The ne
time the conductor passed through the
car l followed him and was about to
speak when, to my amaxement. saw
the man with the glove seated between
the two men who had boarded the train
after we had left Altoona. let the con-
ductor 80 forward into the next car and
turned back to 60 to my seat, getting
another glimpse of the mans face as |
passed. 1t wore the same look Of guilty
horror that had seen upon it the night
before, with an additional pang Of hope
lessness thrown into it.
l saw the situation. The other men
were detectives, who had been telegraph

they had quietly secured him while had

The Meercat, the Most Impudent AMI
NAL In the World,

The Meercat, the Most Impudent AMI
NAL In the World.
There is nothing in the wide, wide
world quite as impudent as the South
African meercat. He Is little, 1.-THE, dun
colored animal something between fer
ret and weasel, with short silver tipped
fur, an impudent snout and bright, beady
little eyes.
Nothing disturbs his equanimity, and it
takes a deal to brighten him. He has
been before now compared to the mon
goose for his absolute Indifference to sur
roundings and his curiosity to see what is
going on in his immediate neighborhood.
Riding quietly over the veldt, scores Of
meercats may be seen popping up here
and there and exchanging the time Of
day. They usually run in couples, and
when they are surprised they sit up next
to one another on their launches and
twist their heads from side to side in the
most comical manner, making all the
while a quaint whirring sound in their
Threats and Tapping their absurd little
fore paws in pathetically humorous sort
Of way.
There is really no limit to their cheek.
One may be quietly asleep in tent with
ones head on u saddle and kaross, or
fur rug, thrown over one for warmth's
sake. BY and by, soft, cold, little nose
is thrust into ones face, and the whir-
ring, purring sound announces the visit of
a friendly and inquisitive meercat.
Children love them, and, to give them
credit, 1t must be admitted that they
seem to love children. They have play
full way of darling to and fro as though
pursued by an invisible enemy, then run
ming up to a child and nuzzling I'D
against the boy or girl as though for pro-
lection.
In dwelling house they soon become
entirely at home and choose the most
comfortable spot in the middle of the
hearth rug on which to squat. Here they
sit up on end and make faces at the fire,
their little theats rafting and whirring
all the time.
In time and with little kindness and
feeding the meercat will answer to his
name and run from one end of the gar
den to the other when called.-London

Missouri Pacific Retarded In Making
Contemplated improvements he

c. NJ. Rathburn, superintendent OF the
Missouri Pacific lines entering Omaha is In
the city from AtchIson in conference with
General Agent Phillippi I'VE have been
making some improvements on our line dur
ing the past season. said Mr. Rathburn,
"but an abandonment Of this work has now
been necessitated by reason OF the bad
weather. The improvements which we had
contemplated early in the season were not
carried out as extensively as we had anticl
pated because OF the great difficulty ex-
perienced in securing labor. In my rail-
road experience l never found 1t so hard
a matter to secure competent labor as during
the past year. The nature of the work
accomplished has been mainly in the
improvement Of the track From Kansas
City we have begun operations Of relayng
the rails which were Of hfty-six and sixty
three pound weight with seventy -five-pound
steel, and have relald twenty miles. This
will be continued when weather permits un-
ill our entire line is equipped with heavy
rails. We began at the Kansas City end
of the line because the track there Is the
oldest and stood most in need Of repair"

Yesterday the Rock Island, Burling
ton, Missouri Pacific and quincy lines made
a 2-cent reduction in rates on packing house
products to Shreveport Alexandria, Boyce
and Monroe, La, and TeXarkana, Tex. The
rate heretofore to the Louisiana points has
been 43 cents per 100 pounds and the reduc-
ton establishes 1t at Al cents. The former
rate OF 46 cents to TeXarkana is reduced
to A cents. The Rock Island took the
initiative and announced it's determination to
lower the existing tariff several days ago.
The other roads, for protection of their in
terests, authorized the same reduction. No
trouble such as was experienced when the
famous war between the Memphis and Bur-
lington lines was in progress is anticipated,
as no attempt is made to lower the differen-
tial OF cents existing between Omaha and
Kansas City. Proportionate reductions in
the rates from Kansas City have likewise
been made,

In conversation with some friends prom
inent Boston man told of his sufferings from
rheumatism and nervousness, and one Of his
friends gave him some advice which will be
mentioned later and which has proven to be
of incalcuable value.
To successfully act on the advice it was
necessary to make a trip of over 2 900 miles,
but he undertook it and now thanks his
friends for the advice, as he finds himself
fully relieved of his old trouble and has
returned to his home feeling able to cope
with his business demands, a new man.
Tho advice given was to go to Hot Springs,
S. D., and there take the baths and en-
joy the finest climate of any health resort
in America.
If this man was satisfied after making a
long trip, those residing within a few hun
dred miles and similarly afflicted can GER
tainly afford to try it.
