Cow worship in Africa.

Two short marches on February 9Th
and 9Th brought us to a long pool of
still water. Here we found another
branch Of the Magois, who called
themselves Katua. To my surprise 1
discovered these people to be COW wor-
shippers and to indulge in certain rites
which were supposed to be peculiar to
the Hindu religion. The origin of this
COW worship is presumably the same
with the Katua as with the Hindu,
traceable to the great dependence
placed upon the animal for ~sustenance.
The Katua eat the COW, but all their
people turn out when the beast is
killed and go through much ceremony.
They would not sell q single cow.-The

Privilege Does Not Permit q Lawyer to
Aid His Clients Escape.
Judge Thomas of the United States
court has a correct idea Of legal ethics
and he enforces his views with re-
freshing directness and decision in his
declaration that the relation of attor-
ney and client does not excuse an at
torney from Withholding evidence
bearing upon an intention or arrange
ment On the part OF the client to per-
form some Illegal act in the future or
the actual doing of such an act. A
man under indictment had been ad-
mitted to bail and then fed. The
grand jury desired to learn who helped
him in his flight. The lawyer mo
represented him said he was employed
to do so by a third person, and the
grand jury desired to reach this third
person and find out where the accused
man was and who was privy to his
escape. The lawyer declined to give
this information on the ground that
his relation with a client was privi-
legged. Judge Thomas refused to rec
ognize this as within the proper limits
of professional confidence and ordered
him to answer the questiOns.-New
York Tribune.

Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt.

AS the wife of vice-president OF ss.e
United States Mrs. Roosevelt will be
obliged to assume a prominent position
in the world, and it must be said for
her that she has yielded to the inevi-
table with grace and dignity. The
state of Mrs. McKinley's health pre-
cludes the possibility of her taking
active part in society, which relegates
the responsibilities of "the first lady
in the land to Mrs. Roosevelt. There
is much curiosity in Washington Sc
ciety concerning the new leader. There
will not be much seen of her until next
year, however. The vice-presidents
family will not take up a permanent
residence in Washington until neTt
fall.
Mrs. Roosevelt was a Miss Edith
Kermit Carow. She is now about SS
years old, and, while not a beautiful
woman, possesses an unusual attract
iveness of face and figure. She has ar
u~nmistakable appearance Of racial dis
tinction, and has also the simple, gra
cious manner of a truly "aristocratic
woman. She dresses extremely well.

How Minister WI SqueIched an Untruth-
full Correspondent.
One of the most c0mmendable char
aeteristics of the Chinese minister at
Washington is his franksess. He does
not hesitate to express his opinion up
on all matters that are brought to his
attention. One day he was visited by a
Washington newspaper correspondent,
who is perhaps not alone in his profess
sion in regarding himself as a great
man. Before he had learned anything
whatever from Mr.. WI, Mr.. WI was
plying him with his usual questions.
When the query as to the amount of
his weekly stipend was put the cor

prepared to astonish the simple eeles-
tial. zone hundred and fifty dollars a
week." he exclaimed. at is too much"
came quick as a shot from the minis
ter's lips; "it is altogether too much
you are not worth more than $25 a
week"
Later on, by dint of eross-examina-
ton of other newspaper men, Mr.. WI
learned that his $150-a-week visitor
had prevaricated to the extent of about
$50 per week. The next time this gen.
tleman called at the Chinese legation
and sent his card to the minister he
was accorded an audience, but the first
thing the minister said to him was:
"You lied to me about your salary. II
you will lie about such a thing as that
you will lie about anything. l do not
trust you I have nothing to tell you.
I want to revise my former estimate Of
your value-instead of being worth $25
a week you are not worth anything,
sir. Good day"

and everything which would yield an
honest living. Then he invented a hold
err for newspapers, and this little ven
ture Melted him several thousands in
profit. He Immediately prepared him
self for Columbia, entering the college
in 1879. He graduated in 1888.
Self supporting Student.
While still supporting himself, Pupin
went to the University of Cambridge,
Eng, and afterward to Berlin, where
he specialized under the famous Prof.
Helmholtz. He took his degree of Phi.
D. with honor in Berlin, returned to
New York and was appointed an in
structor at Columbia in 1889. When the
electrical engineering department was
started at Columbia he was placed in
charge.
Prof. Pupin has been f~avorably
known for years as a practical cleo
trician. He has patented electrical in
ventions which promise wide utility.
The Importance of his latest discovery
can scarcely be overestimated. 1t en-
ables telephone circuits to be connected
over ordinary telegraph wires, thus
disposing of the necessity of using cop
per wires. 1t will be possible to tele-
graph and telephone over the same
wire at the same time. With the new
system we will o talk across the
continent. Within five years, says
Prof. Pupin, we will talk by telephone
from New York to London.

THE REMARKABLE CAREER OF
PROF. PUPIN.
Inventor OF Ocean Telephone was a
Poor slav Emigrant Boy-Came to
This Country from Austria In s74-
A Remarkable Career.

Prof. Pupin, Of Columbia university,
who has recently gained international
reputation as the inventor Of the ocean
telephone, is the hero of a remarkable
career.
Few men even in America have risen
80 quickly and in the face of so many
obstacles as he. The man who has an
nounced the greatest invention since
the telephone, came to New York in
1874, almost penniless and without a
word Of English. In 26 years he has
become an authority on electricity, a
professor in Columbia university and
disposes Of a single one of his inven-
tions for half a million dollars.
OF slavonIan Descent.
Prof. Michael l. Pupin is a Slav, COM
ing from the military frontier of Aus
tria. Like all young men Of his coun-
try, he was sent to a military school.
He ran away in 1874 and came to this
country. The appearance of New York
struck the young Slav with terror. He
was unable to ask for a direction, and
every business seemed barred against
him. He was without a single friend.
Like most immigrants in his posi-
ton, he went to the country and began
work on a farm as a day laborer. With
in a month he had learned to speak
enough English to warrant his return
ing to New York. His teacher was the
daughter of the farmer who employed
him. The lessons followed the long
days work and lasted usually till past
midnight.
The next five years saw a severe
struggle. Pupin worked at anything

They Are a Deadly Poison to Some Pee
nile,

they Are q Deadly Poison to Some BeO
pie.
In an article on the stings Of wasps
a British medical journal cites the fol-
lowing two cases which have come
under his notice: A strong, healthy
girl of twenty-seven was stung on the
neck by a wasp and tainted. On re
gaining CONSCIOUSNESS she complained
Of a general feeling Of numbness and
partial blindness and vomited; she suf-
fered severe abdominal pain. She re-
covered Ia the course of a few hours.
Two months later she was stung again,
this time on the hand. Her face be-
came flushed, she again complained OF
numbness and blindness, suddenly be-
came very pale, tainted and diid
twenty-five minutes after she wis
stung.
Another case was that Of a girl Of
twenty-five years who was stung by
a wasp behind the angle Of the jaw.
The sting was at once extracted and
ammonia applied. In a few minutes
she complained Of faintness and would
have fallen if She had not been sup
ported. Her face assumed an express
sion of great anxiety and a few min
utes later she was tossing IN the bed,
complaining Of a horrible feeling of
choking and of agonizing pain in the
chest and abdomen. Brandy gave no
relief. There was nausea, but no vom-
iting. She rapidly became insensible
and died fifteen minutes after receiv-
ing the sting. The most probable eX-
PLANTATION of such cases seems to lie in
what is known as idiosyncrasy-that
is, abnormal sensitiveness In particu-
lar individuals to certain toxic agents.
1t is well known that drugs vary much
in action on diff erent people. What il
a safe dose for one is dangerously
large for another. The inability of
some people to eat strawberries OF
shellish is another instance of the
same phenomena. The active agent of
bee stings is generally believed to be
formic acid. 1t, therefore, seems very
desirable that we should have more
accurate information regarding the
action of this drug on different species
Of the lower animals and through them
on man himself.

Cause of Appendlcltis.

If some Paris doctors are to be be
lieved, there will be no more opera
tons for appendicitis. Recent expert
ments have shown that the much
dreaded malady is due in many cases
to helminthiasis, which means the
presence of two kinds of worms, as
carides and trichocepheli, in the cae-
cum.
In one case a doctors daughter was
about to be operated on for appended
tbs on the report of two experts that it
was inevitable, when she was cured by
the administration of santonin.
The mode of discovering the worms
was by an examination of the excreta,
which proved to contain quantities Of
eggs.

It is said that a carload of e%vaporat-
ed eggs, valued at $4,000, was lately
shipped from Springfield, Mass, for San
Francisco, where it will be placed on
a steamer bound for Cape Nome. The
eggs were put in one-pound screwtop
cans, sixty cam in a case, and will
answer any purpose In the culinary
line except boiling. The moisture be-
ing taken out of them when they are
prepared leaves nothing to boil. The
largest egg-evaporating establishment
in the world is located at Springfield.
The process of e%yaporating is lone
with hot air, and it takes eight hours
to thoroughly evaporate an egg. About
four dozen are equal to a pound of the
preparation. The Springfield factory
employs seventy-hve people, and its
capacity for consuming eggs is about
400 cases a day. The goods are shipped
to all foreign countries, and in Europe
especially there is a big demand, as
the English government has placed the
preparation on the hospital supply list.
The Klondike country is a heavy user
of this brand of evaporated eggs, as
no matter what the price of the fresh
hen fruit may be or how scarce it is,
the evaporated egg retains its old
price, and is always on hand and ready
for business.-New England Grocer.
