KOCH ON TUBERCULOSIS.
Pathological should Be Taken
with Grain of Salt

London dispatches state that Prof.
Koch, the German pathologist, who
is attending the British congress
called TO consider means for the pre-
vention of consumption, in the course
of an interview with newspaper re-
porter authorized the statement that
he has demonstrated that the meat
berculosis may be consumed with inn
punity. To the newspaper CORE
spondent he is reported to have said:
"You may say substantially that l
have reached the conclusion that
mankind's fear of contact with tu-
berculosis-infected flesh and fluid is
unnecessary and unfounded. / ar

tests. These experiments lead me to
believe that human tuberculosis and
bovine tuberculosis are two entirely
distinct species. | have found the
human tuberculon incapable of inocu-
lation into the animal system. Pro-
eeeding from that premise, ! am pre-
paree to show that humanity's far
reaching precautions against infected
cattle may once for all be aban-
doned."

tied with securing are not in accord
with those which have been the prod

second time he felt that he was fast
going into decline. The physician
listened to him and then made a
thorough and searching examination.

The next day was the Wednesday
before Memorial day, and when Ell
lot got to his office he found among
the mail on his desk a somewhat dirty
and rumpled letter which was post
marked at logging town in the big
woods of northern Wisconsin. For
some reason he laid aside much more
on some big contracts and tore open
this disreputable envelope. 1t con-
tanned a sheet of paper evidently
torn from an old account book, and
the writing was painfully crooked
and laborious.
Mr.. William Elliot, Esq.," it began.
Dear Bill: | thought | would write
you letter to let you know that the
muskies are biting like the devil
this spring in the south fork of the
Flambeau. The ice has all been out
for three weeks, and me and Murph
have JUS come back from polin' up
to the lake. We caught a 1S-pound
euss at the foot of Little Bull rap

a dozen big pike in half an hour.
There has been high water this spring
in all the lakes, so the fish could get
up through the creeks, and | miss my
guess if they amt the best fishing

try.
Say, you remember that bunch of
bass we pulled out of them sunk tree

Elliot read the letter over again.
Then he laid it down on his desk and
walked over to his partners desk.

TO spend four days. You see, Thurs

noon on Saturday anyway, so I'll only
lose day and a half, and can get

That evening when Elliot got home
he took down the big tin box which
contained his fishing tackle and over
hauled its contents. There was a de-
lightful memory in every reel and
spoon hook. He oiled up his favorte
muitiplier and fitted together his pet
bamboo casting rod. His wife had to
call him several times to come to din

that he seemed to eat with a better
appetite.
"How do you feel tonight, Will

at San Francisco has advised the superin-
tendent of foreign mails of the postoflice
department of the amount of mail saved

letters, of which 400 were for foreign des-
tinations; two bags of European registered
letters and 33 domestic registered letters
rescued. The amount of mail which the
Rio de Janeiro carried it not known, but
ordinarily the mail baggage consists of

Former Editor Rice Is Back.

San Francisco, March 4.-George T.
Rice, editor of the Manila Bulletin, who
was ordered deported from the Philip
pines by General Macarthur, was a pas
senger on the transport Pennsylvania.
Owing to the fact that some papers, which
he had expected to arrive here, had not
yet arrived, Mr.. Rice was unwilling to
make any formal statement of his side of
the controversy between himself and the
military authorities. Mr.. Rice will remain
here about a week, when he expects to go
to his former home at Red Wing, MINI.
There he will lay his case before the state
officials and congressional delegation with
a view of bringing suit against the ma
tional government for damages. He was

Rural free delivery is an addition to
the postal facilities of the country that
has come to stay. When an appropri-
alton of 100000 was asked for to in
augurate the experiment, Mr.. Loud
chairman of the House committee on
postoffices and post roads, objected; but
when it was proposed to appropriate
$3,5OO,000 to go on with the business
the chairman of the committee had
nothing to say. Mr.. Sperry of Connec-
ticut, a member of the committee, had
much to do with getting the matter
started. He was for many years post
master at New Haven, and his practi-
cal ideas with reference to the conduct
of the business Of the Postoffice De
partment have been of much service.
Mr. Sperry gives it as his opinion that
it would be useless now to try to pre-
in which opinion, doubtless, the other
members of the committee, and the
department itself, agree. Rural free
delivery has commended itself to the
people Of the farms. and since they
like 1t Congress would not presume
to withdraw or do much hanging back.
The wonder is that free rural delivery
was not undertaken before, but now
that 1t has proved of such utility and
popularity, the whole country is reach
ing out its hand, and expansion OF the
system must go on until there are no
more townships to conquer.

Impersonation Story.

London, March IA remarkable story
of male impersonation was revealed in a
police court here recently in connection
with an arrest for alleged money fraud.
The prisoner, named Catherine Coombs,
aged &C, described as house decorator,
appeared in the dock in male attire For
40 years Catherine impersonated a man
and worked on board peninsula and orien-
tai steamers in various capacities, and also
for London firms. She says she was mar
ried at 10. She taught school and then
thought there were better chances of ad-
vancement as a man. Eventually she mar
red a lady's maid, with whom she lived
for IA years.

After a recent contest it came out
that in some instances the struggling
athletes were sustained by the use of
arsenic, strychnine and nitroglycerine.
The winner in close trial may tri-
umph because the trainer has been ju-
dicious in administering tonic drugs.
But does not the pharmaceutical road
to victory seem less attractive than the
old way which led through physical
strength and skill unaided by the slim
ulants which medicine offers? There is
a modernness about the possibility of
being beaten by a sixtieth of a grain of
strychnine, which to earlier athletes
would have brought both wonder and
regret.

investigations concerning hazing have
voluntarily signed pledge to abandon
entirely that practice which has
brought the institution so much dis
credit. The cadets have done well. The
military academy belongs TO the people
and not to the cadets. The cadets are
not even patrons of the academy. The
people are the patrons. Students at
tending other institutions where they
pay tuition may be said to be patrons
of those institutions. The cadets at
West Point pay no tuition. The people
pay for their education and pay the
cadets a salary besides. Therefore the
people have a right to dictate how the
academy shall be run as the managers
of no other institution have a right to
dictate. When the people learned how
their academy was being conducted the
cadets knew there would be change.
The latter have wisely determind in adj
vance that they will reform. The peo-
pie will expect the pledge to be kept

No reform would ever have been ac-
complished if the element of self-inter-
est had been wholly eliminated. Ev-
cry advance in the direction of popular
government has been due to the dis
satisfaction of men with existing con-
ditions and their determination to get
more out of life than had been allotted
them under monarchical institutions
So, also, with the trusts. When the
people of the United States feel that
they have the closing end of the trans
action" they will, purely as a matter Of
self-interest, apply the remedy which
they may conceive to be most effective
