SCIENCE ~UP-TO-DATE.

The foremost biologist of our day is
NJ. M-etschnikoh who has shown the
world of science that there are 1~eucocytes
in our blood that act as -scavengers or
policemen. These policemen which are
called PhdgocYtes look out for the nox-
ious or poisonous elements in our blood.
It Is of the highest importance to the
long life of b human being that these
policemen guard us from the attack of
germs from the outside-who enter our
bodies like burglars to take our lives.
Various offending elements such as mi
cro-organisms are picked out of the blood
and tissues by these policemen and de-
stroyed. Therefore our lives are pro-
tected by these observation-disclosures the
fhagocytes, and we enjoy immunity
from disease SO long as our blood con-
tains plenty of ~phagocytes and red blood
corpuscles. We can prolong life by
keeping u blood in good condition
our circulation and liver active. In the
above sketch the border shows types of
red corpuscles which are degenerated,
broken down blood cel1s-in healthy
red blood the cells are round but when
we get pale, thin and weak the round
cells 500 become i~rregularly shaped
or like = dumb-bell. The policemen in
our blood are represented by the dark
irregular shaped cells within the circle
showing healthy blood cells.
wThe more study and time is given to
the subject the more we fnd that the
blood is the center of life says DR..
R V. Pierce, the noted specialist of Buff
falo, 1.-THE health and comfort of the
average person depends entirely on this

opposite her table, and the son of DR..
Ziegfeld of the Chicago Musical college,
was rehearsing the chorus for 9TH Red

bring out this season. As usual under
such conditions, Mr.. ZiegfeId was hdge-
ty and somewhat brusQue. Toward the
close of the rehearsal. after the trem-
bling chorus girls a watched with
wide open eyes his pacing up and down
the line for an our or more. Ziegfeld
thought he heard a false, discordant
note in the volume of sound emitted.
He went in search of 1t.
Stopping suddenly in front of one
small miss, he demanded. Can you

She did not answer quickly, but dug
her toe into a crack in the stage and
hesitated.

that is familiar to US in "The Tanning
of the Shrew' had been already laughed
over and a~pplauded by audiences as
early as 1549. Henslowe,s comedians
are known to have acted this earlier
work ON June IL. 1884, and the charac-
tiers of the prologue or induction were
part and parcel of the performances.
Malone first thought that Shakespeare's
comedy was produced in 1906, but he
afterward gave 1886 as. the probable
date, and Collier gives some reasonable
most likely time. II so, the theatrical
air of London must nave been full of
"shrews'' and their tanners about
that period, for Decker also produced a
version in the year 1862 under the title
Of "A Medicine for a Curst Wife" That
must have been the Shakespearean era
of farcical comedy, when h popularity
of one theater in this line tempted
other to follow suit, as the do IN our
