That the public impression concerning

ne worked the photograph to their i'm
! Inense enjoyment. Among those who
came was the Sraith child.
one evening Jollikins announced to the
children that he had a special treat for
them He had purchased a dozen blank
| records. Each child was to speak into
the photograph and then hear his or her
voice reproduced. Some of the older
children, under Mrs. Jollikins coaxing
recited short pieces; others told about
their dollies and their pets. The Smith
child, who was only about four years
old, was more bashful than the rest, and
1T was only by taking her on her lap and
asking her questions that Mrs. Jollikins
| succeeded in getting the chiId's voice re-
corded.
WHO do you love better than anybody
in the world?" asked Mrs. JolllAlns.
My Mamma and my papa" said the
| little girl.
And what do you want Santa Claus to
bring you for Christmas?"
I want a great, big dollie what opens
and shuts her eyes.
There was more talk like this from the
little girl under Mrs. Jillikins' winning
| persuasion. All the chldrens voices
having been recorded, Jollikins put on
the youngsters heard their own voices
and words come out of the horn.
The Smith child never got her dolIie

fore Christmas came around her own big
brown eyes were shut forever
The ill-feeling which had grown up be-
tween the families owing to Smiths con-
temptuous references to JoIlikins' q
ways" did not deter the Jollikins from
going to the Smith home to offer what
comfort they could. And they seemed to
be able to offer more than all of the
Smiths other friends. 1t was one of tn ei;,
ways"
Six months went by. One evening the
JolSI<ins invited Mr.. and Mrs. Smith to
| spehd the evening with them Along in

nograph. When several selections had
been played one of the JoIl-kins girls said
she would like to hear herself talk Her
record was put on The Smiths said it
was wonderful.
''oh! what would I not give if I could
only hear my baby's voice." said Mrs.
Smith, the tears springing to her eyes.
Would you really wish to hear it?
Don't you thin L would make you feed

Jollikins took out another record. He
adjusted it.
Now come up near and listen to this, -
he said to Mr.. and Mrs. Smith.
They heard their baby's voice They
heard her assurance Of her love. No need
to dwell on their emotions.
That night they carried home i'll box

most precious possession.

it plain that he is none too sure 6S his
position. His theory is one which win
be disputed by many who have done
as muen in the domain of science as he.
If he is to be regarded as committed to
the proposition that cattle so suffering
should be allowed to live and reproduce
themselves, he certainly cannot attach
over much Importance to his own theory
that heredity is an important factor in
the transmission of tuberculosis. If 1t
is implied in his paper that the flesh OF
milk of cows suffering from tuberculosis
is not unfit for human consumption. his
conclusion runs counter to all accepted
theories concerning the deleterious eff
fects of the consumption of diseased
meat
Until Dr. Koch or some other scien-
fist presents a specific cure for bovine
tuberculosis. the public need of killing
off tuberculous cattle will remain as
great as ever notwithstanding the theory
that the form of tuberculosis from
which they suffer is not transmissib!e to
the human subjec,.
Considering the present condition of
scientific knowledge on the subject Of
tuberculosis and its cure, it cannot be
said that DR. Koch's alleged discovery
possesses any immediate particular sig
nifcance

Well, at last Porto Rico has her liberty

civil government and free commerce
with the United States. Gov. Allen, who
has been down there acting as a represen-
tative of the administration and the Re
publican party, concluded he had quite
suffciency and Mr.. Hunt, the son of his
father, has been appointed. Mr.. Allen did
rot notify the president that civil govern

for this trick was to secure as much
money as possible under the Foraker act
for distribution by the president Had Mr..
Mckinley been notified sooner. of the es
tablishment of civil government in the
island, it was feared that the money
would be turned over to the Porto Rfcan
authorities to expend on the island. The
president needed this fund for the jobbing
trade, and Allen was enough of a states
man to see the point. The money will be
used for the benefit of Porto Rico-so it
is said. The Porto Rico game has not
been played out yet. There is another
chapter coming. The management of
Porto Rican affairs has so far been mark
ed with degree of vacillating stupidity
which has no parallel in the history of

MORTALITY FROM HOT WAVE.

Medical Journal
Although the returns are not all in We
can form some estimate of the deadly ef-
fects Of the recent hot weather. AS one
journal has remarked, the newspapers
during that never-to-be -forgotte period
contained lists of the dead and FRUSTRATED
that looked like reports from some
great battle. The Literary Digest has
collected the returns. The death list for
the country at large contains the names
of more than 1900 persons OF these
more than ene-half (about 500 occurred
in New York city alone. Philadelphia
came next with considerably more than
200. Boston and New England lost 100;

numbers in smaller or cooler cities and
towns. 1t is a. remarkable fact that
most of the suffering was in the North.
The Southern cities were comparatively
comfortable, ands one newspaper in New
Orleans invited Northern people to come
to that city to escape the heat. A Bos-
ton paper at the same time reminded us
that ''at eleven miles up it is eight
eight below zero" Both suggestions
were lacking in praeticability

endure our bot summers. Our houses,
our clothing and our habits are not suited

cies, and this, appalling death list of 1,5c0

poverty should be lighte1ed at such times
by all the devices that can suggest them
selves to humane but too strenuous

KOCH'S TUBERCULOSIS DISCOVERY
Scientists may be left to determine the
ultimate value of the so-caIled discovery
of the distinguished German professor,
Koch. He is regarded as one of the
leading authorities in the world on the
subject of tuberculosis. Whether he is
right or wrong as to the susceptibility
of the human frame to the innoculatioil
through bovine tuberculosis, his an
nouncement will have a profound infiu-
ence on the current of events in connec-
tion with the disease. 1t will reopen
the question of the wisdom of slaughter.
ing cattle suffering from Tuberculosis. ard
may operate to put an end, at least iii
certain localities. to what has been
regarded as an Indispensable sanitary
precaution.
Dr. Koch was at one time supposed to
have been the dlscoverer of a system Of
innoculation which would destroy the tu-
berculosis germ. His discovery did not
prove to be of any avail. The world
may nave been made richer by his re-
searches in that direction; but it is now
very plain that he is but one mind among
many which is successfully engaged in
casting light upon the awful disease Of
consumption and its cure.
In view of the fact that the alleged
discovery that bovine tuberculosis can
not be impaired to the human subject
was announced by a Chicago physician
q considerable time ago. and that the
facts Of the discovery we're then
made public in the Chicago press and
communicated directly to DIR. Koch, too
much credit may easily be given to the
German scientist for his research and ex-
pertinent in the matter.
1t would be grave pubic error if the
principle now in operation in municipal
tiles Throughout the United States. Of
slaughtering cattle suffering from tuber-
culosis, should be brought to close as
the result Of this supposed discovery

An analysis of the export trade of the
United States for the last three years
reveals some interesting facts There IS
no denying the statement that the ex-
port trade of the United States has in
creased enormously during the last
twenty-foCr months The exports Of the
United States for the year ending June
show an increase of $93, O,0CO over the
previous year and $3.50 OCO, 900 over 1899
During the last year we have passed our
only rival in the export business, Eng
land. While we were exporting domes-
tic products to the amount of 81, 46O, COO. Oc0
England managed to creep up to 81, 49,
100000.
There is general opinion that this in
crease Of experts is in the line of domes-
tic manufactures; that the output of
OUT cotton and wooden mills, and our iron
and steel products. have given us this
wonderful squirt, but this is erroneous
The entire increase of exports Is in our
agricultural products The exports of
manufacturing and industrial products
showed an actual decrease Of $4,000. 900
last year, the larger part of which is
found in the falling off of foreign trade
on account Of the action Of the senate
on the reciprocity treaties. In other
words, our industrial products have been
boycottod on account of the high tariff
wall guarding our own markets News
of this falling off was given to the world
last January and the Glob e at that
time pointed out the reasons for what
the Republican press declared an anoma-
lous commercial phenomenon. Europe
could and did get along without our
manufactured goods, but it could not
get along without our food stuffs. The
world is obliged to eat. During the
year ending June 1, our agricultural ex-
ports increased 800, 5OO, coo, the exports Of
manufactured goods decreased $145OO,O 900,
while the export of iron and steel goods
alone decreased over $4,000.
Here is an object lesson teaching the
necessity of reciprocity which one who
runs may read. 1t further shows that in
negotiating these reciprocity treaties we
can afford to remove all the tariff from
most of the products of the soil, for the
very good reason that imports are impos-
sible under the condition of absolute free
trade. If we are able to increase our
agricultural exports $loO,OOO,OOO in one
year, it is proof conclusive that the
foreigner will have bad time bucking
our market if he be obliged to ship his
products to our shores.
Our invasion of Europe is not the great
industrial triumph of which We have
had so much talk, but rather an invasion
of the embattled farmers.
The German agrarians have been on the
right track when they have urged the
reichstag to protect them against the
competition of the machine-made Ameri-
can farm products.
While we are talking of revising our
tariff schedules to fit a changed condition
of trade relations, we will do We'll to re-
wise our ideas OF the nature of our foreign

BEWARE OF OLD POTATOES.

Leslies Weekly
A timely note of caution may be given
at this season of the year in regard TO
the use Of old potatoes. 1t has always
been known that new potatoes partly or
wholly turned green by exposure TO the
sun while growing are poisonous It
seems that this same poisonous sub
stance has been discovered in old pota-
toes. especially when they begin TO
sprout. The substance is known as al
kaloid solanine. In 1892 and 1893 there
was almost wholesale poisoning among
the troops OF the German army. The
symptoms were frontal headache, colo.
diarrhoea. vomiting. weakness, and
slight stupor, and in some cases dflata-
ton of the pupils. Meyer investigated
the matter and found In old potatoes kept
in a damp place and beginning 70 sprout
twenty-four times as much solanine as in
new potatoes.
