A Success sful Entertainment.

A most interesting entertainment
was given by Miss Mabel johnson at
the schoolhouse in Dist. 70, on Mon
day evening, Dec. IT. As a fitting
close to a successful term of school
Miss Johnson had prepared a program
of some ffty-four numbers, which was
rendered without q break. Not con-
tent with that, an eleg antfy decorated
evergreen tree had also been secured
for the OCCASION. This bore presents
for the scholars as we'll as the school
ma'am. People evidently knew that a
treat was coming. as standing room
was at a premium shortly after the
doors were opened After the presents
had been distributed and before the
crowd dispersed a whole barrel of ap-
piles was distributed among the audi
ence. When the people betook them
selves home it was evident that all
considered it an evening we'll spent.

Newspaper.

-
Rev. DIR. Joseph Parker, who will
edit the London Sun the week before
Christmas, said:
II shall. not conduct the paper on
Sheldonian lines. I have no desire to
create an ideal newspaper; that will
come when ideal society comes, and
not before. But shall conduct it on
religious lines, in no sense sectarian,
theological or denominational, and
shall endeavor to make it paper all
honest men can read, giving it a thor
oughly religious and moral tone. Bet
ting and gambling in every form will
be excluded; there will be no reports
of horse races, prize fights, stock mar
kets or kindred professional gam
bling. .'' .>:'
'tShould murder occur I shall re-
port it, probably comment on it. but
shall not send the staff in quest Of
disagreeable details. There will be no
sensationalisin, but simple, unvar-
nished statement of facts. Certain
police court news will be allowed and
some court news that is interesting,
instructive or useful /. in pointing a
moral"

YELLOW FEVER'S FOE.
DR.. Bellinzaghi Refuses $1oo,ooo
for Secret of His Serum.
Will Establish Laboratory Near San
Antonio, Tex. for Its Prepara-
tiOn-HoApitals to BE Located
in Various Places.

DR.. Angel Bellinzaghi, young spe-
eial list whose success in the treatment
of sufferers from yellow fever recent
ly attracted much attention in Mexico,
in New York city on his way to 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
SaneAntonio, Tex.
1T is my desire," Dr. Bellinzaghi
said in an interview, 'to place my dis
covery at the disposal of the United
States, as 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.'
DR.. Bellinzaghi takes special pride
in the case of David fitzpatrick, 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 we're made, and Kill
patrick recovered.
This strengthened the confidence of
the local authorities in DR.. Bellinzaghi's
discovery, and the Mexican government
| expressed its desire to obtain from
him his interest in the new remedy.
The offer was not accepted, as DR..
Bellinzaghi did not desire to place the
entire control of his discovery in the
hands of the government.
1t is the plan of DR.. Bellinzaghi and
those associated with him to estab-
lish hospitals for the cure of yellow
fever in Vera Cruz, Havana, Panama,
EVenezuela and in other places. These
hospitals will be supplied with the new
(1y> discovered serum from the estab-
lishment in. Texas.

A single oak of good size lifts 1913
tons of water during the months 1t
is in leaf, says Mr.. Frank French. in
Scribner's. This moisture is evapor-
ated and rises to form rain-clouds. All
the trees are busy doing the same thing
and the rank ferns and MOSES and
deep mould of the forest depths, act
ing as reservoirs for the rain which
falls upon them, in their turn feed the
springs and brooks. From this we
can gain some Idea of the immense
forces which the forests exert in
equalizing the evaporation and precip-
itation, and preventing periods of in
undation and drought.
