Anfs-AIcoboIfc Serum.

The discovery of an anti-alcoholic
serum has been announced by three
Paris physicians, Drs. Rapelier, Theb-
anet and Broca. In the statement
which they have submitted to the
French Academy of Medicine they
contend that there is no doubt of it's
efficacy. The serum is obtained from
horses that are fed alcohol and food
mixed with alcohol until the poison
has been assimilated into their sys-
TENS. The serum has been used with
success on men addicted to the use OF
alcohol. The physicians report that of
fifty-seven cases treated thirty-two
have been cured and fifteen improved,
while only ten failed.

o. & o. They fly the flag of Japan, but
were built in American yards. Nippon
is the. name Of the largest island in
the group and Maru is the Japanese
word for steamship.
Sampans are the special beauty spots
OF the harbor. They are the odd little
boats that take the place Of rowboats
used in other ports. They are long,
low, narrow boats, partly housed over,
and are propelled in most peculiar
manner. Instead of oars or paddles, a
single long wooden blade Is employed
at the stern to push the fiat vessel
along at lively gait. BY swinging
wrist and swaying body motion the
boatman produces an action In the
water like that of the tail Of fish
or the blades of a propeller. 1t was
not necessary for the Sumner to drop
her launch into the water during the
three days we were in Nagasaki.
Swarms of the little sampans sur
rounded the ship at all hours, all anx-
ious to carry the visitors ashore at five
cents head. The peculiar propulsion
gives the boat jerky motion, not at
all unpleasant, that reminds one Of a
ride in Coney Island in whlrligig. A
good illustration is shown in the Nip
pom Maru picture Of the Japanese sam

Compromising Endoymenfs.

Whatever ones position on the mer-
its OF the question, there is something
morally reassuring in the fact that
the acceptance of Mr.. Rockefeller's
100000 gift to Wellesley college, at
its recent commencement, was chal-
lenged by portion of the faculty. OF
course, no such issue would be ex-
pected, for example, at Chicago uni.
versity, since questions of that sort
were settled in respect to that insti-
tuition at the start. Wellesley, how
ever, especially in view of it's pro-
nounced moral tone, is a college where
question as to the origin of endow-
ments would seem quite natural, and
the fact that it was raised-though
apparently without hindering the final
acceptance of the gifts whole
some reminder that the relation be-
tween endowments on the one hand
and moral standards and intellectual
liberty on the other is by no means
ignored ct that center.

In entering Nagasaki harbor from
the Japan sea the first attractive object
that catches the eye is the famous Pa
penberg island at the mouth OF the
channel. 1t is 500 feet high, and is COW

cliff, the face of which is of ragged rock
falling sheer to sea. 1t was at this

the $4,000 men which the allies are
said to have at Tientsin would be
amply sufficient to march into Pekin

awful sight. Blood was streaming from
his head. nose and mouth. One ear
was nearly severed from his head. One
side of his head was battered in. Every
one thought he was dead. He still
breathed, however, and was carried to
Lord Derby's carriage, which was
driven hurriedly to the Adelphi hotel
and half dozen doctors were imme-
diately summoned to the Jockeys side.
They pronounced his injuries serious,
but not necessarily fatal. All who
saw the accident and the furious strug-
giles of the horse as 1t lay on Sloan's
body marveled at his escape from in
slant death.

Predicts LONE tx'ar.

The predictions Of Mr.. L. H. Storts,
Of Van Buren,, Ind, have been fulfilled
to a remarkable degree so far. In
the year Of 1894 he prophesied that the
United States troops would be called
into the field of battle in 1898. and
that our government would not cease
from war for seven years, and that In
the year 1900 we would be embroiled
in war with all the leading nations
of the earth. He also predicted that
when this war ended there would be
no more use for the sword and bayonet.
He further says that when the powers
have subdued China the swords will be
turned toward each other. and a great
destruction shall befall the nations. All
this he gathers from his reading of the
