A COMPARISON OF LEMONS.

and Sicily lemons, have attracted
much attention in green fruit circles.
The comparisons were as follows:
Ninety-one and one-Ealf California

One hundred and twenty-eight and
one-half Medit erranean lemons would
yield one United States gallon Of
juice. "

was chiefly that the date selected for
the test was a most unfair one, in
that it compared Mediterranean fruit

Yale Students to Put a Dramatic Conn

Yale will put a dramatic company
on the road next spring. The Yale
Dramatic association has just decid-

was known to his time as "The Prose

be, coached by Frank L. Short, the
New York trainer of actors. Last
year the Yale club produced one of
the old miracle plays with great sue
cess. The club has therefore decided
to branch out this season for higher
honors. Yale's dramatic club is
unique in that it produces only rare
old English plays that have been for
gotten by all except scholars and
students. The club will give two per-
formances of "The Fair Maid of the

DR.. Bellinzaghi Refuses 100000
for Secret Of His Serum.
Will Establish Laboratory Near San
Antonio, Tex, for It's Prepara-
tion-HosDitals to BE Located
5 in Various Places.

DR.. Angel Bellinzaghi. a young spe-
cialist whose success in the treat tment
of sufferers from yellow fever recent
1y attracted much attentionsin Mexico,
in New York city on his wayt Q Brazil
DR.. Bellinzaghi has been offered the
100000 prize set aside by the Mex
lean government for the discovery OF a
serum that would cure yellow fever, but
he says that he is unwilling to accept
the prize on the terms proposed<by the
Mexican government, although he is
ready to give all sufferers from the
dread disease the benefit of his cure.
Although Dr. Bellinzaghi spent only
two months in Mexico, he treated about
so cases of yellow fever, and effected
cures in IS per cent. of these cases. He
expects soon to establish laboratory
for the manufacture Of the serum near
San Antonio, Tex. - '-.
1T is my desire," DR.. Bellinza CHI
said in an interview, ''to place my dis
covery at the disposal Of The United
States, as I believe it will be of marked
value to the sufferers from yellow fe-
yer in the states along the gulf coast.
My experience in the republic Of Mex
leo, both in the treatment of yellow
fever and in immunizing persons liable
to it. have been most satisfactory
and convincing"
Or. BeMinzaghi takes special pride
in the case of David Kilpa trick, an
American who had contracted yellow
fever and whose case was brought to
his attention in Vera Cruz. Kilpat-
rick's case was regarded as hopeless.
-Four applications were made, and Kill
patrick recovered
This strengthened the confidence of
the local authorities in DR.. Bellinza CHI S
discovery, and the Mexican government
expressed it's desire. to obtain from
him his interest in the new remedy.
The offer was not accepted, as Dr.
Bel}inzaghi did not desire to place the
entire control of his discovery in the
hands Of the government.
1t is the plan of DR.. Bellinzag CHI and
those associated with him to estab-
lish hospitals for the cure of yellow
fever in Vera Cruz. Havana Panama,
Venezuela and in other places. These
hospitals will be supplied with the new
~ discovered serum from the est abb
lish ment in Texas

When George King, the cowboy,
started out to "round up" q herd OF
cattle that was pasturing in the val.
leys of the Santa Aua River he invited
an Indian. Juan Machado, to accom-.
pany him aud help him in the cattle
driving. Machado was on the point
of agreeing. when Kirg said jokingly:
"We will take our guns along and we
might get fat bear"
Immediately the Indian appeared to
be in state of abject terror and re-
fused to take the trip, assuring King
that the grizzly bear always overheard
such threats and that hunters who
announced their object were sure to
be eaten up. Laughing at the In-
dian's superstition, King started on
without HIM.
A day or two afterward he was fol.
lowing lonely trail alone. The trail
led through o dense thicket and was
near the border Of dangerous gulch.
Suddenly the pathway made q sharp
curve and disclosed to the cowboys
sight monster grizzly gnawing at
the quivering flesh of newly killed
yearliug. Now, of oil circumstances
calculated to excite grizzly the in
terruption of his meal is the surest.
Therefore when the mounted cowboy
rode almost upon him he rushed for
ward with terrifying growl.
The little horse needed no spurs,
but darted onward through the brush
with Incredible swiftness, the angry
bear following close behind. In a
moment the horse aud rider were on
the edge of the gulch, aud there was
no room for turning. King and the
horse both knew that. There was but
one thing to do. King raised the
bride reins, the little horse gathered
her legs beneath her, sailed straight
through tho air--and landed safely
on the edge of the opposite bank.
The chasm was twenty-one feet

Happily was extricated from the un.

himself that rounded to me like "sus.
picious," and which resulted in my
seclusion. 1t was but temporary. as
the result OF the further inquiries
proved satistactory-to me, that is TO
say. This was what they proved:
That my landlady, nay landlord and
their daughter had left the house No.
113, and had left it i'll the night. That
they had left it in the night because
they were in debt for their furniture
(which was hired) and for their rent,
and because, presumably and by the
evidence of certain tradesmen, they
possessed no money to settle those
vulgar claims.
To them my holi-a crown, paid in
advance, had been half-a-crown, at
least so (again) it was presumed, for
their whereabouts was never traced.

FACTS ABOUT AMERICAN CITIES
Some Data Regarding Health, Popuis-
tion and other Conditions.

tion and Other Conditions.
Anticipating the work Of the census
takers and acting on instructions from
congress, the department OF labor at
Washington has issued statistics relat-
ing to all the cities in the United
States OF population OF 10000 or
more. 1t was found that there were
1d0 such cities and the statistics col
lected throw much interesting light on
their status and development. Tho
oldest city In the United States is Al
bany. N. Y, which was Incorporated
in 1856, Philadelphia dating fifteen
years later. New York. Chicago and
Philadelphia are the only American
cities whose population runs into the
millions. Some odd contrasts are
presented in the tables which give the
area covered by the different cities. IL
appears that Taunton. Mass, occupies
territory greater than that of either
Boston or Baltimore. New Orleans. a
city OF 2S5,000 inhabitants, covers 1885,
600 acres. while Newark, N. j., with a
population of about the same size, oc-
cupies less than 10000 acres. One ex-
poets to find the manufacturing dis.
tricts OF Pennsylvania. Massachusetts,
and Illinois closely packed, but Il is
surprising to notice that Richmond.
Va. covers only $3.50 acres and Louis
Vile. Ky. 1880 acres, as compared
with Duluth. Mimi. and Des Mones.
Iowa, which. with much smaller popD-
lations in each case, covers respective
ly 40960 and S4,560 acres. The health
statistics show that McKnesport, Pa,
is perhaps the healthiest city In tEis
country. It's rate OF deaths from con-
sumption is only 1.09 per thousand, as
compared with ~ in Boston and New
York and 26 in Denver, Col, due. OF
course, to the fact that consumptives
resort to Denver from all paris OF the
country. The rate of 1850 deaths per
thousand from old age considerably
the highest on the list) is accredited to
Salt Lake city, condition to account
for which no theory has yet been
brought forward. In Pittsburg and
Chicago deaths from old age are only
per thousand. At a time when the
extension of municipal functions is
occupying public attention II is in
teresting to note the figures which re-
late to city ownership. Ninety-six,
cities own their water supply, among
the exceptions being Indianapolis. New
Haven, New Orleans and San Francis
co. Four have municipal gas works
Duluth. Richmond, Toledo and Wheel
ing-and thirteen own and operate
electric light plants.

hhs an aversion To yellow Flowers.
Each mistress OF the white house
has had her favorite flower, except
Mrs. Mckinley. who expresses little
preference, except an aversion to yell
low flowers and great love for blue
ones, in which the president joins her.
A large bunch OF flowers is cut from
the conservatory every morning and
sent to adorn the presidents table.
while others go to Mrs. McKinley's
apartments. The plants that adorn
the domestic part of the white house
are frequently changed, to give her
the benefit Of the rare and beautiful
variety that fills the great conserva-
tories. All of the finest plants share
her admiration, each for as long a
time as 1t can stand to be kept from
real hothouae atmosphere.
