 Most Deadly Disease.

Pneumonia Qung fever) having be- come of late years the most dead ly disease at all ages, general intelli- gence in regard to it's cause and what may be done to avoid it is desirable. The disease depends upon a specific vegetable organism, which, being at all times present in thickly populated districts, grows rapidly in the air passages of the individual if his vi- tality is suddenly depressed. In these particulars the bacillus of pneumonia resembles that of con- sumption, but it's multiplication is much more rapid an, the poisoning from it's excretions much more acute. The danger of pneumonia may be lessened by keeping the air passages clear of mucous, by avoiding chill and fatigue, by good ventilation and absence from crowded and over. heated rooms.-Aledical Journal.

RICCOBONO's HORSES.

With that peculiar faculty of pick ing up novelty sensations that has al- ways distinguished him, Manager Poli has again this week corraled for pat rons of the Jacques what may be re- garded as one of the most pleasing novelties he has yet submitted to the Waterbury public. This is Riccobono' horses, one of Europe's star sensations, and an act that has made the biggest kind of a stir in this country since it's arrival here several months ago. These horses are perhaps the best educated ones ever shown on the stage; certainly the principal trick performed by the so- called Good Night horse has never been equaled After going through a series of more or less novel tricks this horse as a finale actually disrobes on the stage, turns down the clothes on a bed, gets into the bed and falls asleep, after the fashion of a. human being. It is certainy a novelty, and it is as amasing as it is original. There are many novelty and comedy features among the other acts on the bill, the

 It seems that Carrots mother hates hin and in every way she can tortures him; makes him work at all sorts of Tasks, denies him. every pleasure she '6nds his heart set on, even inficts upon him, a big boy of 14, corporal punish |ment. All of which, of course, is very sad, but somehow it doesnot seem real ko us; the pathos being brought for rard little too much, trife affected Parrots tells his troubles to the ser hnt girl, and she cries over them; but e cannot. Then his big, red-faced, hrd -featuced mother comes out, and :. e waryM ? a little; We realize that

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

Tile equator of Mars is inclined to the plane of it's orbit about 25 degrees. That of the earth is inclined B degrees e4 minutes.
 It was a Japanese scientist, Prof. Kitasto, famous as a microscopist, who discovered that the long, narrow lockjaw germ lives in the earth and can only work at it's dangerous trade when buried deep in a wound where no air can reach it.
 Capt. Scott, with the Discovery, has penetrated 100 miles nearer the south pole than any previous explorer, and discovered an extensive mountainous region hitherto absolutely unknown. He thinks this indicates that land stretches to the pole in series of very lofty mountains.
 Dr. Demploff, the head of the Ger man antimalaria expedition to New Guinea, announces that he has discov- cred an aquatic insect which destroys the anopheles mosquito, and that he proposes to cultivate the creature ar- tificially in the hope of exterminating the mosquito, thereby exterminating malaria.
 ~ To eye strain, usually unsuspected, Dr. George M. Gould attributes much of human misery. He finds evidence that it was indirectly responsible for the opium habit of De Quincy, caused the morbid condition. and breakdowns of Carlyle, and gave Browning his head aches and vertigo. Printing books in white ink on black paper is a suggested means for lessening eye strain.
 Rurge and Precht, Revue Scienti- fique, have classified radium by the spectroscope. The most intense lenses of the spark-spectrum of radium are vigorously analogous to the strongest lines of barium and it's congcners mag nesium, calcium and strontium. They place the atomic weight of radium at 257.8. This high atomic weight fur nishes in part the explanation of the ease with which its clements split into electrons to produce radioactivity.
 Ozonizing apparatus for vita1izing the atmosphere of the sick chamber may become necessary part of the physicians outfit. Dr. J. E. S.

: Carrots and The
 Country Nous"
|PIays in Which Miss Ethel Barrymore Ls Appearing This Season.

sCarrots'' is French, and ''The Coun- stry Mouse is English; and both are decidedly un-American. We do not bike to be spread-eagley, do not ap- prove of conceitedly praising our own, but the afternoon we attended these plays we could not desist from making comparions that were not particularly compnmentary.
 Carrots" is odd, foreign, although Ehere is a touch in it of pathos real enough to make universal appeal. The Country Mouse is stupid and also Father vicious. When the French elim-i nate naughtiness from their literary Bproducts, the products seem what one Smight characterize as rather uninter- estingly innocent. And as for the Eng Dish, If one is to judge from their so- Bciety plays, they are a combination of dullness and wfckedness.
 We do not feel like congratulating Miss Barrymore on her choice of the plays this year, although we admire her manner of Interpreting her roles almost as much as we did last season. Last year she was very much at home in "Captain JiRks,'' a. clean, bright lit- tie play, if not one of the highest order; and why she did not endeavo to get something on the same style this year we cannot imagine. We repeat, we like Miss Barrymore, but are not able to speak in glowing terms of "CaHxots'' or

 Carrots is a little one-act play; in which four characters appear; MT. and
 Mrs. Lepic, their son Carrots, and An nette, the maid. The curtain rises dis closing a garden in which a girlisb creature is seen pretending to work.

"The Country Mouse presents very pretty country girl, but one palpa- ply unreal; so pretertiously green she never could have been believed in. She turns out to be more than match for her city relatives and friends, captur- ing for husband an old duke. Now the duke and the city relatives are dicided- ly rapid folks, really not desirable ac- quaintances at all, and we object to having them thrust upon us. When there is cleverness now and then to tighten a questionable play, one per- haps is willing to forget the occasional departures from good taste; but in this Country Mouse" we do not re- member any witty line, anything save that there is held up to our view company of sporty people conspicuous for want of brains.
 And then it leaves a bad taste in the mouth that Angela, the country girl, who is really so young and fair and un- spoiled-looking, should be willing to marry the dreadful old duke, noto- rious creature whose reputation she knows very we'll. But perhaps the play wright wished to show us wolf in lambs clothing. Although we very much doubt if it is intended to convey any moral at all in "The Country Mouse" THE EASTROLOGER.

An Tnfortunate Remark. :.

One pleasant day last fall, so the story goes, Prof. Hadley, of Yale, was strolling through the beautiful campus of Dartmouth college with his wife on his arm. They were admiring the beautiful buildings which dot the campus, several of them having been erected by wealthy alumni. Present ly they came to an especially noble hall, built of stone, and occupying commanding site. Over the main en- tranceN was marble tablet which an- nounced that the hall had been erected by "John c. Blank as a memorial to his Beloved Wife"
 President Hadley stood and looked at the noble pile for a moment. Then he heaved sigh that was almost en- yious
 ''Ah,'' he said, "that is what should like to do for my college"
 And to this day, the boys declare, President Hadley cannot understand why his wife should have looked so horrifed.-St. Louis Mirror.

Frothingham, will appear in the fine new production of Robin Hood" The magnificent stage settings and costumes used in the New York revival can all be used at Polls theater, the stage dimensions permitting of the entire production be ing utilized. The company and chorus of the Bostonians are reported to be the strongest since the original pre- sentation Of Robin Hood'' at the Grand Opera house in Chicago 13 years ago.

Speed Greater Than That of r,xh+

Speed Greater Than That of Y,ixh+
 Two years ago new star blazed ont. in the constellation Perseus. Such new stars are by no means rare. but this was so great and varied in bril- iancy so rapidly that it was specially noteworthy. Soon after the outburst that made the star so bright it was found to be surrounded by a nebula. and this nebula spread outward around the nucleus gradually, as seen by the naked eye, because of the stars great distance, but really with im- mense speed. In fact, 1t has been ca1- culated that this speed was so great that it seems impossible that the spread of the nebu1a could have been due to the motion of ordinary matter at all. It has been suggested that the apparent motion was really only a. progressive illumination of the nebu- lous matter by light from the exploded star. But Prof. Simon Newcomb cal- culates that even this will ot account for the motion, for it was at least ten times that of light. We have thus &C., tually observed motion in the heav- ems that vastly exceeds any other that we have ever heard of, whether it be of projected matter or of ether waves. What it is, we cannot at present even njecture.-SucceSs.

A PHILOSOPHICAL TRAMP
Carried His Household with Him an( Resented the Intrusiveness
 of an Officer.

What seemed to be thieving tramp put what turned out to be merely a. stoic philosopher seeking light, air and pleasure, drifted into Macon from the north few days ago. "On his back" says the Macon Republican, twas strapped rifle, a small tent, pro- vision bag, coffee pot and tiny oil stove. His garments were frayed and dirt-covered, but he whiffed a cob pipe cheerfully and walkedwith sprightly gait. As he rounded the courthouse corner Deputy Turner ran out and hailed him.
 "'Look here! Where'd you get all them things?' he demanded.
 ''The travelling household looked the questioner squarely in the eye.
 "'Buy'd 'em. Whats it to you, any" way?'
 'F'A good deal. Maybe you stole 'ems I'm an officer
 "'Well, my friend, you don't look like one. You'll have to show me- ''. !
 ssThe deputy had to go back in the I office and get his star, and then the wanderer gave an account of himself. He said he was alone in the world, and had started from Dakota and would keep on till he reached Florida, where 1t was warmer! Robert Glass was the name he gave, and his age as 30.
 "' don't see anything funny about my way of doing he said. It's the cheapest on earth when times no ob- ject. And it ain't with me. I've got the money to go on the steam cars if want to- tapping his pants pocket, but I don't like their noise and rush. Excitement don gree with me: When, I find good camping ground set up my tent, put things on to cook and eat with an appetite. go to bed when l feel like it and get up the same way [ don't bother around farmers barns and houses because I've got my shelter get out stop in town and buy more at the stores like white man.
 "'Guess the reason people think I'm funny kind of a tramp is because I don't panhandle my way. If IT hadn't been carrying my own commits sary and stuff along you wouldn't a-stopped me, would you?"
 "sGuess not. But you see, you look like a fellow that's raided somebody's house and cleaned him out
 "tOf course. And if I'd been going along with my hands in my pockets waiting for 8 chance to steal, you wouldn't said word, " cause that's the way all of lem do." Now, if you're through with me I'll just move on be- cause the further get away from this 4L k4 suit your humble servant
 And this innovation in trampdom shook hands with the deputy and headed for railroad track running in the direction of the land where the magnolia and alligator sing the song of eternal summer
