HE WILL SWALLOW VIRUS.
DR.. Rodermund to Make Another Test
of His Theory of Contagion.

Appleton. Wis, Feb 2s.-sI now pro
pose to not only rub myself with small
pox pus again, but will swallow a por-
tion of the virus in order to thoroughly
substantiate my theory that contagion
does not exist, and which I know to be
correct" said DR.. NJ. J. Rodernund this
afternoon. Continuing, he said:
of course I shall take care that am
not caught this time, because I do not
care to be quarantined again. My plan
is to visit some smallpox patient in the
vicinity and make my tests without let
ting any one know Then I shall wait
two weeks until after the supposed per-
led of incubation has passed before I
make the announcement Of what I have
done. Meanwhile 1 shall go about my
ordinary business, as I am not afraid
of exposing any one. It is my intention
to make my tests on a smallpox patient
in the presence of witnesses. and espe-
ciaIly want them to see me swallow the
virus I shall take some one with me
who has a camera and will be able to
present indisputable evidence that did

The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite AS Fatal. The Rest Treatment.
The grip has surprised the doc
tors and health authorities this season
by its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While il spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many eases either a fatal onset of
pneumonia, or a complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt TO fol-
low an attack of grip.
The vie course for all is preven-
ton. BY wearing a BenSon's Porous
Plaster ON the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary care) YOU are
safe from grip.
For those who are already suffer-
ing from grip, or from the usual win
ter coughs and colds, BeRson's Plasters
are a sure and speedy relief and cure.
Highly medicinal and scientific.

slavery Protected the Negro.


If the negro had been forced to com
pete for existence In America he would
have been crushed out by the civilized
power, as the Indian has been, says
Albert Phelps In The Atlantic, but the
peculiar institution of slavery protect
ed him not only from this competition,
but also, by artificial means, from those
great forces of nature which inevitably
weed out the weaker organisms and
which operate most unrestrainedly up
on the ignorant savage. For the first
time, perhaps, in the history of the
world human beings had been bred and
regulated Ike valuable stock, with rs

quence the sanitary condition of the
negro during slavery was remarkable,
especially by contrast with his present
condition, and his growth was tho ab-

this mass of helpless beings was
thrown upon Its own resources by the
act of emancipation and when the pro-
lection of slavery had been withdrawn,

Elizabeth was certainly vain, but she
cannot claim femininity. merely on that
account. for vanity Is by no means an
exclusively feminine Characteristic.
There are perhaps more vain women
than vain men because women have
more leisure and their costumes afford
greater opportunities for vanity than
the strangely hideous clothing which
custom has arranged for men, but no
thoughtful (feminine) observer can
doubt that vain man ID yainer than
vain woman.
Elizabeth's hands were her especial
pride and, Judging from her portraits,
they were certainly beautiful They
were laden with Jewels, and 1t was her
habit In public to pull her rings off
with absent artlessness and push them
on again. moving those white hands
