FOR PORTIONLESS GIRLS.
Old Bachelor Who Left n Fund for
DoSering Deserving
CamseIs.

Trustees of an old bachelors fund
for dowerless girls in New Orleans,
who recently decided to change the
spirit, if not the letter, of the testa-
tors provisions had precedent III the
case of John Anderson, citizen of
Glasgow and Manchester. Like the
New Orleans donor, he was bachelor,
commonly reputed to have been
crossed in love-" He left 5000 and
having for it's object the lowering of
deserving damsels." Candidates must
be able TO read and write, to sew and
cook and to sing and dance well. Hay-
ing proved themselves proficient in
these attributes, candidates were to
receive $110 on their wedding days.
Circumstances were found to necessi-
this bounty, for unscrupulous indi-
viduals schemed to secure the dover
more than once.
The corporation of the city of Lon
don is intrusted with the administra-
ton of Signor Pasquale Favoli's be-
quest for portionless girls. Three
poor but honest girls are endowed
annually in sums according to their
merits, as the "worshipful gentlemen
may think fit"
Chance decides who are the re-
cipients, the fortunate trio being Sc
lected by lot. Any girl over 16 and un-
der 25 may become candidate, and
may repeat again till the age limit dis
qualities her, but the young women
have to submit duly certified birth GER
tificates, SO as to obviate any charge
of intent to defraud."

DISTEMPER IN DOGS.
A Prof. Copeland Has Discovered
That 1t Is Caused by the
MicrObe.

The last number of the Proceedings
of the Royal Society contains a de-
scription Of Prof. Copeland's success
full investigation as to the cause of
distemper in dogs. AS a result of his
efforts, he has isolated specific mi
cro-organism to which the disease is
due. This micro-organism, small
cocco-bacillus, grows readily in all
common culture-media at the temper
from the exudations from the lungs,
the tracheal mucus, and the nasal Sc
cretions of dogs suffering from the
disease. A cubic centimeter of q
broth-culture of these microbes, in
jected beneath the skin of the abdo-
men in a dog weighing Is pounds, in
duces an attack of distemper, which
terminates fatally ia week from the
date of incubation. A vaccine neces-
sary to protect dogs from the disease
has also been prepared and is said to
be efficacious. This vaccine is OBJ
tanned by heating a broth-culture of
the bacillus at a temperature Of 90 de-
grees Cent. for 80 minutes, with
the subsequent addition of a small
quantity of carbolic acid. Two cubic
centimeters of this vaccine have been
found sufficient, when injected, to
ward Off the disease from fox-terrier
pups weighing five pounds which had
been exposed to infection. The length
of time vaccinated dogs remain i'm
mune has still to be ascertained. Tests
on large scale are at present being
cOnducUvu.

formal steps looking to Fourth of

organization to carry on the prelimin-

now engaged in soliciting subscrip-
tions from business men with which
to defray expenses, and if sufficient
amount is promised, the project will
be pushed to a successful conclusion.
About $500 will be required to pull Off
the event and it is hoped to raise the
amount. Thus far the committee has
been kindly received in most quarters
and goodly portion of the amount
is already secured.
