FAVORABLE FOR OYSTERS
English Royal Commission Reports That Danger of Typhoid Infec-
 ton Has Been Exaggerated.

The English royal commission sn sewage disposal has issued a report that should tend to allay the frequent "oyster scares" caused by the assertion that shell. fish are polluted and made unfit to eat by typhoid germs. They are of the opinion that there is not at present exact knowledge warrant Ing such sweeping measures as the compulsory purifcation of sewage before discharge, for there is nothing, they state, in the ap- pearance of shellfish to distin. guish those which have been ex. posed to sewage contamination from those which have not been so exposed.
 The denial of the validity of bacteriological examination as a test is very important, for this test has rested on the assumption that the bacillus coli communis, or other allied organism, does not normally occur in the oyster. Over 1000 oysters taken from the put. est waters and from beds obviously liable to pollution were examined and the bacillus coli was found ih nearly all of them, from whatever laying they were taken, though as a rule a very much smaller mum. Der of bacilli was found in those from pure than in those from polluted waters. The commis. sioners say:
 "If it should be seriously con tended that the mere presence of bacillus coli, or colilike microbes, fin an oyster should condemn it, few oysters would probably es. cape condemnation"
 Concerning the possibilities of the communication of disease by shellfish, they state that there is a prima facia probability that at times living typhoid bacilli might be conveyed by shellfish to the con. sumer and produce enteric fever, experience confirms their views that the extent to which the ill ness is actually conveyed cannot ke determined, the present state sf knowledge on the subject not making 1t possible to make an ao earate numerical statement.

TAX THE DRUMMER" PAYS
A Considerable Item in Commercial Travellers Expense Account in
 Most European Countries.

Three or four drummers, says Comfort, had engaged in a warm discussion over the bane of the drummer's existence on the road, the "drummer's ta1"-not so bad as it used to be, however, when small towns all over the country levied tribute on every travelling man who visited them.
 "By Jove," said man from a New York silk firm, "you ought to try it over on the other side. What they do here isn't to be spoken of in comparison. Here it is merely a small local matter. Over there it is national. At least it is for any of us who come from foreign countries. In Denmark, for instance, there is an annual tax of $42.SS if a man represents one house and half that for each other house represented. ln Nor' way you have to have trade pass good for 30 days, costing $26.So. France is easier and you don't have anything hut business passport, which costs no more than you want to pay. In Hol' land you have to have an indus trial tax receipt, which costs six dollars. In Sweden the price is the same as in Norway, $26.SO, and if you try to get out of it you will catch fine of from the price of the trade pass up to $184, and they are strict about it, too.
 'In Austria you have only to show a proper trade license and in Switzerland a business pass. port. They don't cost any more than you want to give up to the chaps who let you have them. In Russia the price is $25.75 as trade tax and $5, 5 extra as communal tax. And if you are a Jew you don't want to go to Russia to sell goods. You may be all right, but Russia doesn't like that kind and shows it by pushing the drummer tax on Jews up to $275.50, be sides the communal tax of $5.15. England's the place, though, where you want to go. That's the great free trade land and you can go anywhere and everywhere and sell to anybody and everybody and never pay a penny. They are So free over there that, by love, you almost feel like asking the coun try to pay you few hundred d year just because you are there."

 "Wal, stranger" replied the Amer lean T guess it's good for France, but in America we have tower so high that we have to lower the top at night"
 "Lower the top at night?" replied the Frenchman. "For what reason?"

CURIOUS HABITS OF WRITING.
The Scribbling Microbe Never Leavea Que After It Gains
 Lodging.

"The habit of writing is curious habit and one which may not be out. grown" said an old scribbler, in the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "It seems to be born in the blood. It is a part of the nature of some men to write things. Early in life they begin to yield to an inclination to- jot things down; to scribble off few thoughts at idle mo- ments, and between times, as 1t were; to versify bit; to philosophize; to put down maxims and axioms, and to scrawl a thousand and one little nothings which appeal to the fancy from time to time. Once acquire the habit and it is thine for aye. No amount of change in life's course; no upheavals of fortune, no sudden shifts of fate and destiny; no nothing that may como with the feet ing years will ever once break the mind from the bent which prompts it to trace In the queer curling symbols which roll out from the pencils point the little playful nothings about which the soul is wont to dream.
 Dainty, delicate children are these little vagrants which one idly scrawls into existence between times. Often they are bright, deep, subtle and of the verities; sometimes rney are morose. gloomy, of that sterner stuff which feedA the soul of the hungry pessimists; some times as light and airy as the very foam which bursts laugh:ngly around the ankles of Aphrodite; but whether light or profound, whether gay or sad, these things of mental loafng, these little pet nothings Of mental vagabondage. are scintillants which cheer and amuse . fellow as he hurries on from one mile- post to another. An, for the habit og writing! It. pays when the bank faila pays in the sweet consolation one may know from close communion with ones own soul, for man hath not known his soul until it glare at him in such cheap symbols as he may employ in efforts. always short of weight. to speak its weighty sentiments"

-s''se~~<s errf. SXRsn4z ANCIENT MILITARY SCHOOL.
Historic Ground on Which the Yoana Men of Louisiana Receive
 Their TraininE.

The Louisiana state university anc agricultural aud mechanical college is knowp as the military college of the south, says the Baltimore Sun. It is To- cated at Baton Rouge. and numbers among it's graduates many men who are now officers in the regular army. Gen. w. T. Sherman was the first president of the institution before the civil war, and, notwithstanding his espousal of the northern cause. his memory is still rev. cred at this scene of his former labors, and his life-size portrait in oils occupies . prominent place in the handsome as- sembly hall of the college.
 The site of the university is historic ground. It was for many years mil itary post, and the garrisons of France. England, Spain and the United Staten have all at different periods occupied It. After it was abandoned for military purposes 1t was turned over to the state of Louisiana for purposes of educatioal The original buildings, however, still stand, and. with the flag floating over them, present a striking and beaut1fW appearance.
 Here, in 1779, Calves, the Spanish gov ernor general of Louisiana. after an en- gagement that lasted for three days, cap- tured the British garrison. The Span iards were in turn driven out by party of Americans, and this marked the passing of west Florida from the do- main of Spain. In 1861 the confeder- ates captured the post, and the next year . desperate battle, involving both land and sea forces, was fought near by and the confederate ram Arkansas was blown up in the view of the land bat teries.
 Many distinguished officers served here while it was still a military post Among those whose names are associ- Ated with the place are Wilkinson and the first Wade Hampton, Winfield Scot; and Zachary Taylor, Grant and Lee and Stonewall Jackson, Mcclellan and Joe Johnson, Bragg, Rosecrans, Longstreet Harney, Thomas and Beauregard, For. rest and Phil Sheridan, Hardee and Hood, Hancock and Custer, Admiral Porter and Bishop" Gen. Polk. Among the great civilians we recall the names of Abraham Lincoln, Clay and Calhoun and Jefferson Davis. There is hardly . place elsewhere in the south so rict in historic associations.
 The university is true to its traditions The sons of Louisiana are soldiers by In heritance, and while they revere thu cause for which their fathers fought, n> northern boys are to-day more loyal tt the flag which is lowered at sunset every evening to the well-known strains O retreat, while on parade of over 300 ca dets stands on parade at attention Everything about the university Is con ducted on military lines, and by means of frequent inspections proper system of discipline Is constantly maintained.

ONE ARRAICNEO TODAY.
Recorder Left him With Enough Money 10

Him Out of Town-a Hebrew Seldom
Found Beagiug-FeIIOw Had Complete
Hobo Outfit.

The pan-handler, with a hobo's out
fit, who was arrested by Patrolman
McDermott yesterday morning, as
told i'll the News, an d who gave his
name rs William Henry, was this
morning arraigned before the re-
corder. He was the second Hebrew
hobo arrested in this city in a quarter
OF century. He claimed to have
come from Buffalo, N. Y. He de-
clared that his fellow -countrymen
whom he approached yesterday, turned
him down, and he started to run
down the Jews in general. When he
said the Jews were responsible for his
incarceration, the recorder called a
halt. for it was, as told above, Patrol
man McDermott who made the arrest.
Henry" said he had been out of
work but week. He had 81, mostly
in silver, apparently what he has
secured by begging. He was told
to count ont $6. 80, and was given the
remaining half dollar to get to New
York, where he said he wished to 60.
This went against his grain, and
he said: II need the moneys; guess
go to jail. "Three months 9" said
the recorder. Henry was looked up.
In about two minutes came a request
to speak to the recorder. The fellow
then asked for reduction In his fine
and so cents was remitted. That did
no. suit him either. "Fou: onths. -
said the court. AS he was bein. led
away, Henry" rohanged his l4ind
again and agreed. When he was given
the dollar lie, still wanted to argue,
and he was unceremoniously hustled
out of the court room. Patrolman
McDermotr escorted him to the Staten
Island ferry, the angry Israelite
protesting volubly all the way.
