A PRESIDENTIAL Kiss.
Head Of French Republic Kisses ri
Mother Before Thousands

Head OF French Republic Kisses Hls
Mother Before Thousands.
Baron Perre de Coubertin writes In
the Century of Emile Loubet, presi-
dent Of the French Republic, record
ing incidentally one of the little oc-
~currences that have made the chief eX-
ecutiRe a popular man: What was Il
that Emile Loubet did to cause him
to be so highly thought of by those
who gave him their votes? II you
should ask the general public or in
terrogate current opinion or the press
you would be answered with the COM
monplace which one hears so often in
similar cases. oh" they would say
to you, "he didn't do anything" At
the famous Partisan tavern, the BLACK
Cat" where all the men Of the day
are touched of in popular ballads. the
answer was somewhat different. The
refrain OF a political song that met
with great success a year ago was this:
"Loubet. oh, how much he
loved his motheri" And from stanza
to stanza we md the good people Of
NlunLGAAu4aAa anu GNGA NhD gAAAA0
French people, represented as over
come by the affection which Emile
Loubet showed for his mother, that
most respectable peasant woman, who
lives in Montelimar. The explanation
OF this song is an episode in the life
of the president, which rebounds com
pletely to his honor. On the day that
he entered his native town for the
first time as president of the republic
he saw his mother seated on n Of the
tribunes, watching the procession pass.
At once he caused his carriage to be
stopped, and, without the slightest
regard for the pomp and ofheialdom
with which he vas surrounded, he got
out of the carriage and ran yer to kiss
the old lady, being unwilling to wait
to the end of the ceremonies. Such a
spontaniety Of feeling as his, and such
simplicity Of manners, far from shock
ing, were sure to gain for him the
hearts of Frenchmen. But by putting
this little episode in relief the ballad
maker wished to impress his hearers
with the idea that there was nothing
in the political career of Emile Loubet
which was more interesting to note
than this family scene.

Human syateu.
Veterinary men IN Michigan and ad-
Joining States for some time have de-
voted considerable attention to a O.
covery Of Dr.. Derk p. Yonkerman Of
this city, for several years State Vet
e~rinarian Of Ohio, and medical men
are beginning to show an equal in
terest, says a Kalamazoo, Mich, dis
patch to the New York Sun. Plans
are under way to manufacture a
product which Or. Yonkerman
holds to be a cure for tuberoulo-
sis, both in cattle and in human be-
ings. The success Of his efforts Is at
tested in a statement recently signed
by J. II. Brown, President Of the Mich
igan Live Stock Commission, in which
he aflrms that an animal which was
badly affected by the disease and or
dered to be killed by the commission,
was turned over to DR.. Yonkerman for
treatment and three months later did
not give the tuberculin test. As a fur
Their means of establishing his proof,
he purchased and killed the animal
and there are no other official docu-
ments to show that in its lungs were
found completely healed scars from
tuberculosis. DR.. Yonkerman attacks
directly the tuberculosis bacilli. That
tuberculosis Is caused by bacilli was
long ago discovered, but Il has been
impossible to find a way to destroy
the germs directly, and all efforts OF
the medical profession have been
turned to devlslng the best means to
strengthen the patient to fight against
the disease. In talking Of his discoV-
cry DR.. Yonkerman says: Il began
experimenting ten years ago. Medical
men have long known that tuberculO-
sis bacili cannot live in the presence
Of copper. one-hfth of 1 per cent. So
luton Of copper in a drop Of water
will kill an entire colony Of tuber-
culosis bacilH In a test tube in fifteen
minutes. But the trouble has been that
science has failed to discover n
means by which copper can be intro
duced into the systems of human be-
ings or any vertebrate animals. The
Dlooo OF all V~ertebrates contains Iron
and not copper, while the blood Of in
v~ertebrates contains copper and not
iron 1t was to the discovery Of some
means Of introducing copper into the
blood Of vertebrate animals that l di-
rected my experiments, and 1 have
discovered a salt Of copper which ac-
complishes the purpose. I give two
substances in solution in milk and the
fat in the milk prevents an immediate
union, so that the substances are taken
into the system in a nascent state. I
introduce hemocyanin, displacing the
menoferric elements, or in common
language, copper in place of iron, and
the tuberculosis bacilli cannot exist
under such conditions. To introduce
the copper it is first necessary to ex-
haust a part of the iron in the blood
and l have found a means for doing
this"

SHE RUNS RIVER PACKETS.
missouri woman the Only Boat Agent
In the United States.

Missouri Woman the Only Boat Agent
In the United States.
At La Grange, Mo-, an important
landing for steamboats, on the Missis-
sippi river, Miss Lena Bohon is the
duly accredited agent of a packet COM
pany and discharges all the duties OF
the office to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned. She enjoys the unique distinc-
ton Of being the only member Of her
sex to fill such a position, either in
this Or any other country, and is
proud Of the fact. II is only recently
that it has been possible for a woman
to successfully discharge the duties Of
such an office. Years ago the steam
boat agent was a man He had to be,
because he had to hustle aboard ar
irving steamers and then hustle of as
the gangplank was being hauled in.
Then he had frequently to mingle with
roustabouts. But there are not as
many steamboats, now as there used to
be, and the business isn't done in the
same way. This may, IN part, account
for Miss Lena Bohon's position. She
was appointed in 1890. after the death
Of her father, who had been the agent
Of the Diamond Joe line for forty
years. She is now agent for Ave
steamers plying between st. Louis and
St. Paul and two between Keokuk and
Quincy. Miss Bohon has no assistant.
She Is always ready for duty at the
old fashioned wharf house. When
steamboats, at night announce their
approach Miss Bohon, who lives with
her mother, five blocks away, hastily
dresses, picks up her lantern and hur-
ries to the landing place. If she de-
sires the steamer to stop she flashes
her lantern in a certain way. Omcials
OF the packet companies yer that she
is one Of the most faithful, accurate
ana capable agents in their employ.
She sells tickets, makes out freight
bills and receipts, collects weekly ac-
counts with the merchants and other
shippers and checks of every bale
Of hay, bushel of wheat or tub Of but
ter that goes on board a boat. She
oversees personally the receiving and
dlRcharging Of freight. At the age Of
10 the affairs Of the ONCE could be safe
ly Entrusted to her care during a
short absence Of her father. She grew
up in the atmosphere Of this active
life and her desire to continue IN It's
environment is but natural.

sion work among the women OF India
with all Of her spare means. and did
not know whence her income was
gathered, and would have been very
much Mortified II any one had told her
that her WI tenants needed her help
very much more than the women in
the %zenanas. Her estate, with others
Of the same kind, was managed by an
agent, who was not any worse by ma
ture than other men, but who con-
sidered it to be his duty to spend as
little rs possible upon the property,
and to get as maca oas of It as he was
able, by u%nrelenting energy in secur-
ing the rent, and im%perturbable call
lousness to the misery Of the tenant.
Very likely he was a deacon In a chap

own bills with regularity, but also gave
literally to the hospital collection, and
was very much beloved in his own
family; for half our sins are done vi

not really require any name. Chest

Of the agent, and as occasionally he
had been told that his property was a

the philanthropic visitors,-and also
that 1t was a sanguinary pigsty-this

MNN..MMa
There are more Irishmen In the
United States than IN Ireland, says an
omcial Of the census office. The latest
returns from the British census shows
that the population Of Ireland Is now
4.456,546, a loss OF five per cent. in the
last ten years. Sixty years ago there
were almost twice as many people In
the island, or 8.173,124. The United
States census returns which show the
foreign-born population have not yet
been compiled. but It Is believed the
number of natives of Ireland now in
this country is nearly 100000.
For every Irish-born inhabitant of
the United States there are probably
two descendants Of Irish blood from
both father and mother, and this
would make the Irish population Of
this country about a million greater
than that Of Ireland. In this estimate
no account IS taken Of the large num-
Der Of Americans who have in their
veins Irish blood from one or the 9th.

lands loss Of population can be found
quickly enough In the steady increase
Of the Irish population of America.
