Henry Fitch, young farmer living
at Mountain End, invited death for
himself and his two oxen the other day
by whistling, says the 81. Louis Repub'
lic. Young Fitch ~ a whistler OF much
ability. He has whistied at every farm
house and every gathering In The neigh
borhood, and when he Is whigtling no
body cares TO listen to piano, violin,
Dute, guitar or banjo.
The other day Fitch was plowing IN
the field-plowing and whistling. Two
sleek. sleepy oxen we're drawing the
plow, and neither they nor Fitch paid
any attention 10 anything but the
blowing and whistling. Presently n
swarm OF thousands Of honey bees how
cred over them. There was no use to
run--still less 10 fight them, and Fitch
kept on whisting and plowing while
the bees settled softly upon him and
the oxen. They seemed friendly enough
as long as Fitch whistled, and Fitch ad-
mits that he was willing 20 whistle a.
long as they remaired friendly and
seemed inclined 20 listen.
Fitch continued TO plow along. His
patch led toward his home, where he
could see his mother In the yard. He
caught the tails OF the oxen and held
them 70 the beasts might not anger the
bees by switching them. For the dis
tance OF half a mile he held those two
OF tails and whistied. His mother
looked up and saw him. He and his
oxen looked like they might be civ
cred with a soft brown fur. Fitch
stopped whistling just long enough TO
say bees" and then continued his team
without the bees realizing that he had
dropped a note.
Mrs. Fitch acted az once. She knew
something Of bees and realized that
unless she got them hived IN short or.
der they would probably gting her son
to death. For she argued that he could
not keep on whistling forever. So she
got huge tan pan and began beating
Il vigorously. The bees stirred uneasily
at this interruption OF their concert,
but they did not sting. and after q
few moments every one Of them rose In
the air and started toward the tin pan
Mrs. Fitch led the way 20 IN empty
hive which had luckily been prepared
for another swarm, and by dint ol
much beating and coaxing got all the
bees into Il.
Fitch stopped whistling. sat down
fiat on the ground and mopped his face
The sleek, lazy oxen switched their tall
vigorously to make up for lost time.

POLICE RULES IN JAPAN.
Elaborate Courtesy 10 Ne obSeFvsd
In the Treatment of All
Foreigners.

A pronunciamento recently issued
by Ikigami Shiro, chief police In.
spector in Kioga Sen, Japan, is a
unique document. The oriental off,
cial Is evidently bent on bearing OUT
the idea that the people Of his coun-
try are the most polite in the world.
The order conveyed instructions in
regard 10 the treatment of foreign
ers, and Is as follows:
J. II is the principle Of information
al intercourse TO treat visitors from
far-off lnnds kindly and politely, and
Il is also the common spirit Of civil
ized nations TO live In harmony Of
feeling toward each other. Many for
eign residents understand the Japan
ese language. and II is better to try 10
first address them In polite Japanese.
Never use any unpleasant words or
criticise the foreigners movements,
clothing OF his business. Try 10 pre-
vent any unpleasantness toward for
eigners while they are shopping by
allowing crowd OF bystnnders
around them.
2. Foreigners treat dogs better than
we can think Of, and diligent search
should be made and good protection
given when notice OF a missing dog
is given. When a house dog barks az
you you should tell the servant OF the
house 20 parify II. Don't treat II
roughly.

condition, whereas oil the rest died
within Ave months at The outside, IN
a state % extreme cachexy.
The Juice of raw meat acts IN the
same manner aa raw meat. The ami
mails that were tuberculized and
treated with the juice keep In good
health; others treated in any other
manner all die within periods ranging
from one to five months at the out
side.
II the curative properties Of raw
meat are evident, the prophylactic
part played by II is not less 30. In
fact, animals nourished with the Juice
OF raw meat In large quantities and
subsequently inoculated, appear re.
fractory 10 tuberculosis, as has been
proved by the latest experiments re.
lated by VI. Richet, where the ami.
mails prepared by alimentation with
raw flesh continue perfectly well,
while others are either dead or dying.
But what Is the dose Of raw meat
that should be given 10 dogs in order
10 preserve them from tuberculosis7
OF the dogs tuberculized by NJ. Richet,
one received seven grams Of meat per
kilogram OF the animals weight; an
other ~ grams, a third az grams,
and a fourth and last O. grams per
kilogram OF it's weight per day. The
nrst died. but the three others are in
very good health. II may therefore
be assumed that the average amount
OF raw meat required TO preserve q
dog inoculated with tuberculosis is
from one 90 ~ grams per day and
per i,ilogram.
As NJ. Richet showed in a previous
communication, raw meat acts by its
Juice and not by its pulp. In fact, II
one places a piece Of raw meat, com
pressed 10 extract the juice. beneath
a tap Of running water for "a hours
and then presses It, one obtains q
Juice which is absolutely inactive.
To administer raw meat with which
II Is proposed TO treat tuberculous pa
tients Il must not be chopped or
rasped; II must be scraped with A
sharp knife; the pulp must be put
into the cold broth and thus diluted.
In this way one obtains a kind Of soup
over which one pours tepid broth or
thin soup and even the yolks Of one
or two eggs.
In view OF the results obtained by
NJ. Richet, the preventive and curative
treatment Of tuberculosis by raw
meat is TO be recommended as tho
most effective means at our disposal
at this moment for combating this
terrible malady.

After a session of four days in the
| County Court House at Fort Myer Heights,
the Circuit Court of Alexandria county ad-
| journed last night for the term. Matters
of Importance were disposed of and a de-
cree entered providing for arguments in
| the Military Road case during the vaca-
ton of the court. These will probably be
heard next month at Manassas. Today
Judge Love is holding a special session OF
the Alexandria County Court to provide
for release of certain prisoners on bail,
pending trial.
When the Circuit Court. Judge c. h.
Nichol presiding. convened yesterday, the
case of certain persons against the Con-
sumers' Brewing Company. OF Rosslyn,
asking for a receiver and an accounting,
was called, and upon motion Of counsel
for the company went over until Saturday
next at Manassas, when ii will be heard
in chambers.
The case of the Fort Myer Heights Land
and Improvement Company against the
Washington. Arlington, and Falls Church
Railway Company involving the alleged
non performance of certain obligations by
the Railway Company, came TO the atten-
tion of the court. Ii was directed that tes-
timony in the matter be filed and March
II next was set for the trial of the case.
Several motions by counsel in the Mill
tary Road case were granted. including a
plea by the Commonwealth for a brief
continuance, in order TO prepare the full
testimony in the case. The defence also
favored a continuance, but gave notice
that a trial would be welcomed by them in
the near future. Thereupon the court
granted delay and will fix a day during
vacation for arguments in the appeal from
the lower court.
This case involves the right of certain
heirs of land across the river, represent
ed by Dulaney Marshall, attorneys, OF
this city, TO close what is known as the
Military Road, lying between the Aque-
duct Bridge and the Fort Myer reserva-
tion. In trial of the cases before the
County Court MIR. Marshall, of counsel for
the heirs. was found guilty Of obstructing
a public highway and placed under $500
bond pending the preparation on an ap-
peal TO the Circuit Court.
In the County Court Tuesday last Com
monwealth's Attorney r. W. Johnson, not
withstandng former verdict of guilty
rendered by Justice W. L. Varney, de-
clined to continue the prosecution Of the
case of the Commonwealth against r. II.
Phillips Manager of the Washington, Ar
lington and Falls Church Railway Com
pany. charged with obstructing the public
highways OF the county. by alleged failure
of the company TO properly grade cross
ings. After hearing statements OF coun-
sci for the company, James f. Clements.
the court directed that the case be dis
missed for lack OF prosecution.
