DEBRIS PLUCKY FIGHT.

Lying with one side flat upon the ground, a courageous deer yesterday battled desperately with a savage dog for his life and was saved in the end by the arrival of several men. who drove his enemy away. It is doubtful if such another fight was ever wit messed, under the circumstances. and so pleased were the deer's rescuers with the gallant fight he put up that they permitted him to escape.
 In attempting to cross the impound- ing dam at Lowell Hill the deer be- came stuck in the mud at the bottom and for half an hour struggled to re- lease himself Eventually he succeed ed. but when he reached land he was so exhausted with his strenuous ef- forts that he fell to the ground. It was while in this position that theS1og espied him. The fight was fast and furious. the deer using his feet as best he could.-Sacramento Bee.

!.
 If you see young girl, or even a grown woman swoop upon something lying on the street do not think that she has found prize. In all probabil- ity she is simply one of those with the craze for making cigar band decorated plates, and has found bit of material. The favorite hunting ground Is on Broadway from Fourteenth street to Forty-second street, and along Forty second to the Grand Central More people travel over this route and more cigars are smoked here than in any other given stretch of street in the city.
 The hunters usually go out in pairs, and one takes the inside and the other the outside of the walk. Then they march along looking on the sidewalk and especially in the entrances of cigar stores for the bands. Some of the bolder do not hesitate to sally in

SOMETHING ABOUT TEACHING.

The Educational Research club of Hartford county has published an en- tertaining little work on the likes and dislikes of teachers and pupils. The subjects studied were written on the boards in school and each pupil was asked to write down what subject he liked best and what least. Replies from 3.994 boys and 3,SS0 girls were received and tabulated. The results indicate that boys and girls alike like least the study of physiology. This is the study that prohibitionist agitators with school book peddlers behind them forced upon the school system of the state. So much for that.
 The most popular study with boys and girls is mathematics Among the teachers far more prefer to study reading and literature to anything else and next comes history with them. But more of them prefer teaching mathe- matics. The lack of interest among the young in geography is explained by the fact that they have little Rsso- ciationN with places and no imagination on the subject. The following are the results summarized:
 1. Mathematics is the subject of su preme interest with both teachers and pupils.
 ?. The increase in mathematical in- terest towards the end of the grammar school period is marked.
 3. There is high dislike of mathe- matics in the lower grades, rapidly 'dis- appearing in the first three years.
 4. Manual training is subject of higls interest with a very low percent age of dislikes.
 5. Spelling, subject of supposedly little inherent interest, takes surpris- ingly high place.
 6. There is a marked decline of in- terest in reading and literature in the upper grades.
 :. There is no agreement as to the distinction between language and grammar, but neither seems ito be pop ular.
 8. From the twelfth year on, girls show a much higher interest in the language group than boys, and a much lower interest in mathematics.
 9. Looking at both likes and dis likes, geography is the most unpopular of the traditional subjects of the course of study.
 10. History is a popular subject with boys, especially in the upper grades.
 II. Physiology and hygiene is liked by neither teachers nor pupils, and is disliked by both.
 F. Subjects taught in part by spe cial teachers and In part by regular teachers are generally unpopular witE grade teachers as well as pupils.

The Surgery of Light.

For a long time the merits of X-Ray
 treatments for cancer. tumors and dis eases of the skin have been proclaimed by the Radio-Chemic Physicians. They have heralded the good news far and
 near. through the daily and weekly pa pers. It has been received with reJoic- ing by sufferers afflicted with those complaints that formerly struck terror to their hearts. The assertion that the X-Ray Light would cure cancer has boen proven many times during the ps st ten years. but repeatedly have the cures been ignored and belittled. The restoration to health of one of the best known educators in this country. pr Harper. President of the University or Chicago. has forced the recognition of the X-Ray Light as cure for cancer and tumors. Science has conquered. and the X-Ray Doctors are vindicated.

TO FIGHT BEEF TRUST,
Commissioner Warren Will Order Orimi-
nal Prosecutions.
Declares That Meats Imported Into the State
Are "Doctored' In Violation OF Pure
Food Laws.

Criminal prosecutions of Pennsyl-
vania representatives. of the beef
trust are about to be instituted by
DR.. b. II. Warren, state dairy and
food commissioner.
The charges upon which prosecu-
tlons are to be based are that meats
sold in this state by the trust are
doctored i'll these ways Colored by
washing with poisonous coal tar
dyes dipped in formaldehyde solu-
tion busted with powder contain
ing sulphi,es, and washed with
powdered boracic acid solutions.
Politicians of state and national
prominence have sought to hold up
these prosecutions, and have gone
to the length of making threats that
political vengeance would be visited
upon the commissioner and his
agents if the cases were pressed.
In letters written to his office in
Harrisburg DR.. Warren has given
instructions that no attention is to
be paid to these threats, and that
the prosecutions are to be pushed
vigorously and to the limit of the
commissions resources.
Samples upon which the cases
are to be made were bought princi-
pally in the counties of Dauphin,
Allegheny, Huntingdon, Philadel-
phia and Lycoming. 1t has been
decided that the first prosecutions
shall be made in Harrisburg.
The samples taken include meats
shipped into the state by Armour
& Co., the Schwarschild-S -Sulzberger
company, the Swift company, Mel
son. Morris & Co., the Cudahy
Packing company and the Ham.
mond company.
DR.. Warren was seen on Monday
on his way through Harrisburg
from Portland Ore, to his home in
West Chester. He was surprised
that any inkling of his plan to fight
the beet trust has gotten out.
1t is true that the prosecutions
are about to be started" said DR..
Warren, and they will be push.
ed to the limit" Complaints have
been numerous concerning til e
quality of meat that has been ship
ped III Pennsylvania from the West,
and man. agents and chemists re-
port that the complaints are we'll
founded.
" The pure food law will be en-.
forced against wealthy and power
full violators with as much zeal as
would be shown In the prosecution
Of any other criminal. Neither fear
nor favor will sway the conduct of
these cases."

An inoffensive old man was beat
en- to death in London, by a mob,
the other day. He was suspected
of an impropriety towards a child
in Victoria Park, but went before
a magistrate and quickly and COM
pletely established his innocence.
He was discharged, only to be set
upon and murdered. Not an arrest
has been made. He was a dock
laborer, without influential friends.
English newspapers are fond of
displaying sensational headlines over
the news of an American lynching,
but no American mob ever commit
ed a more brutal and cowardly
crime than that in England s capital

The resolution adopted by Town
Council TO the effect that unless
some definite action is taken by
some outside parties in relation to
the Fifth street sewer. by August
4, the matter will not again be
taken up this year, is hardly a fair
way to dispose Of the subject. The
council is elected to care for the
interests Of the community, and if
they really want the sewer, and
they say they do, the only way to
do is to cooperate with those who
are trying to get it, and to keep on
cooperating until the sewer is ac-
complished. For the council to fix
a date, and then resolve that they
will hear nothing further on a given
subject during the year, is most
remarkable and unusual procedure.
