Lemon Juice and Typhoid.


Medical Record: Thu wholesale and ef-
fective manner in which a teaspoonful OF
lemon juice will destroy the pathogenict
Heterogeneous in a glass of water is
certainly astonishing, If not spectacular.
1t Is from both Of these points Of view
that the experiment appeals to the public.
The Chicago board of health hastens in
its disinterested and p~ublic-spirited way
to confirm the conclusion, and the boon is
launched accordingly. Something more
than this confirmation will be needed by
the profession before the ~adaptability Of
this wonderful discovery can be demon
strated. If in the end, however, 1t can be
proven that lemon juice or citric acid
can do all that has been promised, DR..
Ferguson. will deserve all due credit for
practically applying a new principle of
typhoid prevention. In the meantime 1t
ma be somewhat comforting for the peo-
pie to believe that they are protected
from Infection by the use of this new
drink. but 1t is hardly fair to encourage
them to feel any safety against the in
fected oyster merely because a few drops
of lemon juice are %sprinkled over its sur
face"

ABOVE the birds sang and around them
We're beautiful flowers; beyond, the noun
tam reared its head and gathered the
clouds. The things these two young neo-
pie talked of while they waited were
many. The scenes of the day were gone
aver and actors We're spoken of. Poetry
as written by Virgil was repeated and
the sayings of Homer acclaimed with all
the F1gor of a school room. Hates laugh
rang out and the echoes raced Off with
the sound OF her voice mingled with that
OF ner companion. Then a stiffness came
over them. Hugh said the things all low
ers say and Kate hid her face among the
lowers. Perhaps they were wilted but
the girl cared little. She heard the words
spoken almost in a whisper by the youth
at her side and did not at first hear the
train as it pulled it's string Of fiat cars by
her side, Neither did he hear or heed the
rumble of the wheels as they ground upon
the rails. He was telling the old story
and she heard only that.
Back they hurried to the carr, and were
In the caboose before the engineer
mounted his cab for the return. That
night Kate wrote a long letter to her
mother in Boston. Then she pressed her
flowers and leaves.
Ihese lowers and caves are in an al
bum on a table in Chicago now and Hugh

who sits beside him is Kate, older now

Like a bird Kate Burcilard fitted from
place to place, looking upon the scenery,
listening to the sounds of nature and gag
ing in nj at the strides of science.
When Hugh Earnest found her, Kate was
IN the mountains passing Ler summer va
cation, as she called the time spent away
from home, dreaming as she had always
dreamed when the mountains lowered
above her and breathing the rare air of
the heights. Hugh's father had much to
do with the road that first spanned the
desert with iron rails and the young man
was one of those who stood about the Of
fcials Of the Union Pacific as the silver
and gold spikes were driven.
Doubtful enough was the running of
the queer little engines in the days of
construction. But upon one of these Hugh
persuaded Kate to ride to what was then
the end of the track. To her III engineer
gave up his seat at the side of the cab
and it was her head with its crown of
golden hair, that appeared at the win
dow her hand that rung the bell of
the locomotive at unseemly places and her
hand. too, on the rope of the whistle, the
whistle that raised the echoes over the
nils where no crossings were. The en-
gineer smiled as he looked ahead and the
hreman laughed aloud when he turned
about to fill the furnace with the wood of

as the train, with its load of fat cars
sped on and the crew manned the brakes
at every call of the whistle and the wheels
grated down the hills as they had never
done before, for the men behind thought
one OF the officials was at the throttle,
Kate was there at the driving of the
spike which connected the east with the
west and stood beside Hugh while the
president made his speech. The officials
put back the queer silk hats Of the day
and returned to their seats in the cars.
But Kate had gone to pick flowers and
leaves to press, by which she could recall
the story of the day.
Hugh missed her when the train started
and jumped from the moving cars at the
first up grade. In the gravel by the side
of the road he leaped, and the stones flew
beneath the young mans feet. Hugh
was merely a boy after all, and the shak-
ing-up he got did him no harm.
Kate was back on the railroad, holding
her flowers and leaves. She stood look-
ing down the track in bewilderment in the
direction of the retreating train.
Presently, In the distance, she could dis
Germ some one approaching. He was
hopping from tie to tie as a man unused
to walking by the rails. Nearer he came.
then Kate recognized him.
did you get left, too?" Kate asked.
No, l cannot call it that" Hugh replied,
laughing. I jumped from the train be-
cause feared we were going away with

'You should not have done it." said the
girl.
Hugh saw that she was glad, though
her cheeks were buried In the bunch OF
flowers she had gathered in the woods.
We will have to stay here till the train
comes back" Hugh explained as he sat
down to wait.

each one of which, seemed to be the
last word of wealthy ingenuity until
1t was eclipsed by it's still more splen-
did successor. And it was this part of
which he Count of Montcorbier chose
to make the most with a very special
purpose. He caused, 1t seems, many
emlssaries of his to quit Paris and find
shelter within the Duke of Bursundy's
lines, pretending ftosbe deserters from
the waning cause of the king, each of
whom had the same tale to tell to the
ears Of the enemy; namely,
that the kings new favorite was a
wastrel and a fool, who had no better
purpose In life than the rhyming Of
madrigals, the tuning of lutes, the
draining of fiagons, and the pressing of
ladies' fingers in the dance. All Of
which produced, we are assured, upon
the mind of the Duke OF Burgundy the
very effect desired by Villon and led
to results which luckily we are enabled
TO know more of, as Dom Gregory's
manuscript happ1ly resumes continuity
on the seventh day Of Master Francois

We further learn-for Dom Gregory,
though a ~churchman, seems to have a
spot In his heart for the ways of

the friendship Of Villon and RATHER
Inc grew apace n that the whole
our watched with interest, and Mon
sieur Noel lie Jolys with an ever-in-
creasing fury, the growth Of a great
and beautiful passion. But it seems
that Master yillon, whether from fear
to risk too soon or from a desire to
cave the loveliest moment of his reign
the last, made no attempt directly
declare himself or directly to learn
high he stood in the Lady Rather
heart until the very day which
was the last day upon which it was
possible for him to assure his own sal
