The Editor Denies Aspersions Against
His Good Name.
Some miscreant who probably owes
us a years subscription and is there
fore down on us, has started the story
that the editor had a keg of beer I'D
to his house last week. This is a base
canard and an outrageous attempt 70

only do not drink beer, but were a keg
of the fateful stuff to be delivered at
our house our wife would leave our
bed and board at ten minutes notice.
If we find out how this thing started
we may bring suit for SANDER.
AS Esquire Taylor, u trustworthy
and respected justice of the peace, was

Thursday night alone the candle in

against a hog lying in the road and
was precipitated head over heels. The
shock so unnerved him that he was
confined to his bed for three days. We
congratulate him on his narrow escape
from a horrible death. Many a man
has fallen over a hog at night never to
rise more.

There is probably but one definition
of the word gentleman" yet there
are many ways OF expressing that def
milton. Thackeray gives perhaps the
most direct and pleasing expression
of the word in the following: ITO be
a gentleman is to be honest, to he gem
tie, to be generous, to be brave, to be
wise, and, possessing all these quail
tiles, to use them in the most grace
full outward manner" At another
time the great novelist defiIies a. gem
tleman in these words: Perhaps a
gentleman is a rarer mar than some Of
us think. Which OF us can point out
many such in his circle; men whose
aims are generous; whose truth is not
only constant in its kind, but elevated
in its degree; whose want of meanness
makes them simple; who can look the
world honestly in the face with an
equal manly sympathy for the great
and the small?" Huxley defines the
word in this manner thoughtful
ness for others. generosity. modesty
and self-respect are the qualities which
make a real gentleman or lady, as dis
tinguished from the veneered article
which commonly goes by that name"

Is All

There is a deal of formality and
red tape in the business of being a
diplomat, and the family affairs of
a diplomat also come into the tangle
at times, for the woman who is the
head of the household Of one of the
representatives of a foreign power Of
ten finds that her social plans are all
upset because her position is not sufi-
GENTLY exalted to warrant her adj
vances.
One OF those who learned that les
son is Countess Cassini, who is the
head of the household of the Russian
ambassador.
Privileges Of Matrons.
When Mile. Cassini was in Wash
ington last winter she learned that,
under the rules which govern official
society, only matrons are given the
privileges and precedents of heads
of the households of ambassadors.
AS a maiden she must give way to
all the married ladies Of the Diplo-
matte Corps. This was very CALLING
to the high-spirited young lady. Her
august uncle, Count Cassini, the Rus
sian ambassador. n of Russia's
strongest men, sympathized with her,
since through his influence she was
made a countess in her own right by
the czar while in Russia last summer.
+; She expected a good deal from this,
although just why is hardly clear.
When the first diplomatic event was
announced at the White House she
prepared to assert her rights as a
countess. She received intimation
that, so far as precedent was con-
cerned, she was only Mile. Cassini,
and at the White House matrons
were given precedence over maidens.
This was a blow to the little lady, so
she ran off to New York and imperi-
ously declared that she would never
have anything to do with the unap-
preciative American capital. The
count smiled. He is used to the young

In New York she was amazed TO
find her conduct set forth in he
newspapers. She read this through
carefully, and, acting with fine dip
lomatic training, decided she would
return to Washington to convince
the people the articles were not so.
She knew when she returned that she
would have to take her place below
married ladies of other embassies, and
she was prepared to do so without a
murmur. She went to the White
House dinner and had a famous. time
that evening with Minister WI, who
is great company for dinner or any

Next day there were society reports
to the effect that the dashing &ittle
Countess had been sat down on aAain,
when in reality she had been well
treated and was delighted. She had
got over her disappointment and was
feeling that she was well out bf it.
The real objects of the reports was to
try to rub it in"
1t must be confessed, however, that
Countess Cassini has but little tact,
and, with her uncertain temper, is
sure to have social trouble before long.
The ladies of the other embassies do
not like her; they resent her being
called the belle of the diplomatic
corps. They are laying skillfully hid
den traps for her. 1t is not even sup
posed that she will avoid them; she
probably will not try.

TYPHOID EPIDEMIC.
THE TYPHOID GERMS ARE NOT

They Are Swallowed with water or

a source of infection, and unfortu-

of the bureau of hygiene of Rome, has
observed a close connection between
the prevalence of typhoid fever and
the seasons during which raw vegeta-
bles are consumed. This led to micro
stopical examinations of lettuce, eel
cry and the other vegetables which are
generally consumed in a raw state,
with results which demonstrate that
such vegetables may become a source
OF infection. The findings Of Prof.
Gualdi have been duplicated by Or.
n. w. Wiley, chief chemist of the Ge-
partment Of agriculture, who states
that he is in perfect agreement with
the foreign scientists who have come
to regard raw vegetables as one OF the
leading sources of typhoid infection.
The truck farms and market gar
dens' on the outskirts of large cities
are in many instances fertilized with
sewage. refuse of various kinds, and
street %sweepings. The vegetables from
these farms are particularly danger

given the subject their attention are
in favor of official inspection in order
to safeguard consumers against infec-

lists who have been investigating the
vegetables are not warning people
against the eating of lettuce, celery,
etc.; on the contrary, they declare
hat it would not be wise to discour-
age the consumption of such products
of the fields and gardens. But they
suggest the sterilization of vegetables
which are eaten raw, by the use of a
three per cent solution of tartaric
acid. After the vegetables are washed
in the solution they should be washed
a second time, in sterilized water. 1t
is said that tartaric acid is easily re-
moved, and that even should a small
amount remain after the treatment,

vegetable nor the health Of the con-

the p~recaution is the time of the cook

The fate which seems to come to all
communistic colonies has overtaken
the Altruistic association formed about
a year ago near Burlington, N. ]. The
plan Of the promoters was to form a
settlement where there should be no
police or magisterial system and no
laws or rules save those of courtesy.
The novelty of farm life soon wore off,
and many of the colonists returned to
the busy world, where pay was better
and life more exciting.

It has long been a disputed question
whether America was peopled from
Asia. The chief argument against the
theory that man made his approach
to this continent across Boring strait
has been the lack of resemblance in
culture between the aborigines of this
country and the known races Of Asia.
This may be accounted for, a Washing
ton scientist maintains, by the fact.
that all the Asiatic arts and customs
would in the course Of generations
have been frozen out of any migratory
peoples in their getting around Boring
strait. AS the tribes moved northward
they would lose the characteristics Of
their life, one after another, notably
agriculture and domestic animals, until
finally, pressing near the polar circle
their whole energies would be absorbed
In finding food and keeping warm.
With his culture thus frozen out, ac-
cording TO this theory, early man
crossed Boring strait. and as he moved
southwark on this continent developed
improved ways of living, but after such
a long interval Of time that the new
customs were entirely distinct from
those of Asia.
