Formerly tubercular lung trouble,
or consumption, caused one-quarter
of all deaths that occurred. Now it
is estimated that the proportion has
been reduced to one-seventh or eighth.
There has been steady decrease in
its ravages all over the world since
1888. Two years before that time
Koch announced his discovery of the
tubercular bacillus, the micro-organ-
ism that causes consumption. The
press took up the subject, announc-
ing everywhere that the old-fas hioned
idea OF the contagiousness of the dis
ease was absolutely correct, and urged
the utmost precautions against the
spread of this portable and communi-
cable disorder. The lesson was quick
ly learned. Today, in the most con-
tracted city home, health officers and
inspectors find a surprising knowledge
and alertness. All discharges from
the respiratory tract are quickly
burned, the sufferer has bed to him
self, and all possible care is taken to
spare others and mitigate personal
pain.

never once stopping until I was safe
In my own lodgings. / threw myself
on the bed, and slept peacefully until
daylight.
81 then decided toleave Pilborough
as far behind me as possible, and that
same night saw me in New York again.
I put up at small hotel on the out
skirts of the great city, feeling quite
rich with my five hundred. So, alto
gether, was satisfied; but, alasl not
for long.
"When l took up an evening paper,
the first thing that caught my eye was
paragraph headed, Daring Burg
larry at Pilborough Bank, and ran as
follows
"A burglary of most. daring kind
was perpetrated at Pilborough Branch
Bank last night. The manager, Mr..
Alton, had, according to his custom,
gone to the principal bank at Dali
thorpe on business connected with
the bank, and during his absence his
own house, situated mile or so out
of Pilborough, was entered by means
of the library window, the safe ran
sacked, and several valuable pieces of
silver stolen. The burglary at the
bank was evidently committed an
hour or two later. How the thieves
gained access to the bank is mys
terry, for the keys arc still in Mr.. AL
toms possession. However, several
thousand dollars are missing, together
with some valuable jewels. Unfor-
tunately, no one saw or heard any
thing unusual, SO at present no clue
can be found
81 stared at the paper in surprise.
Robbery at the housed Why, the
wretched safe was emptyl The man
ager away EThe keys still in his pos
session. Truly, it was a problem I
couldn't understand But no cluel
So was comparatively safe-that was
comforting; but then, who was my ac-
complete if he was not the manager?
The following morning got note
which explained all.
"'Dear Joe, it ran, thanks for
your help last night. Sorry you had
the trouble Of opening that safe at the
house, 1t was deuced awkward,
wasn't it? Bnt you did scare me
when I found you in the library.
However, n moustache made all the
difference, and I played my part well,
I think. The silver was grand. Sorry
[ couldn't afford to share it with you.
Never mind; you did we'll. Five
hundred dollars wasn't bad, either.
Better luck next time. Keep quiet.
Your old chum, Jim Kelly
II dropped the letter at last, com
pletely fabergasted. To think 1 had
been such fool Still, the five hun
dred came in very handy for setting
me up in business of rather more
respectable kind So, after all, I
needn't complain of the net results of
ny visit to Pilborough Bank. Sat
urday Night.

Boston is educating more persons to
be teachers than it has use for, and
the problem is worrying the board of
education and the superintendent It
appears that there are annually falling
vacant, on the average, about fifty
places in the primary and grammar
schools, of such character that it is
safe to appoint to them beginners at
teaching, such as the graduates of
the normal school. But there are
now in attendance at the normal
school 261 pupils. This is an increase
of 79 in four years. In other words,
the mere increase in the number of
normal school pupils is enough to
more than fill all the probable vacan-
cies for year. At the present time,
not only most of last years graduates,
but majority of those also of 1897,
and considerable numbers of those of
earlier years, are waiting for opportu-
mites which do not come. The su-
perintendent's sensible remedy is to
limit the annual admissions to the
normal school to seventy five, these to
be chosen by competitive examination.
He argues logically that if there is to
be disappointment among those aspir-
ing to be teachers, it is better that it
be faced at the threshold of the normal
school course than at its conclusion.
Much weight attaches also TO the eco
nomic argument that the public money
should not be waste in the prepare
ton of teachers for whom the city has
no need.

AS intelligence, culture, and the
conception of human brotherhood in
crease III a community, it becomes
more and more difficult to secure YER
diets of guilty" in murder trials,
when juries know that death is to be
the fate of the poor wretch in the
prisoners box. 1t was an easy matter
hundred years ago Tor Judge on
single circuit in Ireland to sentence
SO persons to death for various crimes,
81 of whom were executed. But to-
day, in Great Britain and in this couu-
try, it is almost impossible to enforce
the law against murder. There are
about $500 murders annually in the
United States, and only about 100
hangings and electrocutions, with an
other 100 lynchings. The fact is that
men shrink from fixing the irrevoca-
BILE doom of a brother man, and con-
victions where death is the penalty are
exceedingly difficult to secure.

TYPEWRITER IN CHICAGO.
1000 Miles of Wire, Printed Message
in New York.

f. Hachmann, of Milwaukee, has
invented an electrical long-distance
typewriter. 1t has fewer parts than
an ordinary typewriter, though sim
liar in appearance, and the inventor
claims that a speed of $50 words q
minute can be attained by an expert
operator. The writing is reproduced
simultaneously at any other place
connected Geographically where a
similar machine is installed. The
claim is made that it is impossible
for an error to occur in transmission,
and in the absence of the operator
at the other end the message will be
written automatically. Mr.. Hsch-
mann thus describes his machine:
"The letters are attached to the
ends of flat bars of brass hanging on
the end Of a common pivot, these
bars lying parallel and horizontally
at the front OF the machine. Un-
derneath each letter is thin, fiat
piece of platinum attached only at
one end. The other end hangs
down.
suspended crosswise underneath
the letters of the key board is
round cylinder about two inches in
diameter. This cylinder has a lot
of little brass pegs in it. Whenever
a letter is pressed downward the
little piece of platinum comes in
contact with the peg on the cylin-
der as the cylinder revolves, and
there is click the same as that
made by telegraph machine. The
machine is connected with battery
that produces the click when con-
nection is made with the peg and
the platinum, and every time the
machine clicks little hammer rises
from below and strikes letter cor
responding to the one touched.
these letters are on round
wheel about four inches in diameter
that is attached to the right end of
the cylinder with the pegs in it, AS
the cylinder turns the wheel turns,
and on another little wheel is thin
strip Of paper. AS the letter on the
keyboard is pressed the hammer
below strikes upon the thin strip of
paper, which comes in contact with
the linked letter on the wheel and
has printed upon it indelibly the
message printed upon the keyboard
above."-N. Y. World.

special cable to the journal SAYS:
Prince Krapotkin, scientist and ex-

Prince Krapotkin's address con-
tinues: "Since Pobledonotsef issued
this proclamation in the name of

torture $4,000 Doukhobors into mil
