ReIls Poe Never Heard.

Hear the tele9honic bells
 Nickel plated bells, What a nervous agitation in their pet ulancy dwells;
 How our tempers they excite,
 Through the day or in the night, As we hear the operators shouts and yells!
 And we wish he'd thither go, For no tomcat caterwailing to such helpless wrath impels;
 And everybody knows
 By the bawling
 And the calling
 How the conversation flows, As his thoughts into the instrument re- peatedly he tells As his thoughts with maledictions he continually tells
 Tells, tells, tells, And again he rings the bells, But the fellow at the other end IS uls- inclined to go.
 So once more he instills
 Some hyph- ened syl-la-bles,
 Like a jackdaw in a panic,
 And with vigor quite satanic, It is wrong to tear your hair,
 And worse, they say, to swear By this or that or here or there or any other where;
 But that was said
 Before were made Those palpitating, fast-vibrating tele' phonic bells Bells, bells, bells, bells,
 And the yells, yells, yells Of the speakers and the hearers at those bells.

The daytime isn't long enough for Chicago's enterprise and progress She does much nights, and now the story is that she is to have the first night uni- versity in the world. All the details of organization are perfected the land purchased, the plans for the building drawn and the preliminary work done. It will be open to everybody, young and old, rich and poor, male and female. The university will offer special adyan- tages to those who are employed dur ing the day, and who wish to gain an education either in the liberal arts, medicine, the law, electrical engineer ing, dentistry, pharmacy or any other branches taught gin universities. It will also have a preparatory school.
 This is interesting and promising. We don't see why a night university shouldn't meet a long-felt want and do much good. There are ambitious people who can manage to use 1t and get up in the world by it. Success to this Chicago notion. It is apparently be- nevolent and may turn out to be ben efcent.

4 NEEDED WORK.

A good many people in New Haven have mining stocks that will enable them to appreciate the work which has been undertaken by the American Min ing Congress in it's effort to secure the enactment of laws against the exploita- tion of worthless mining schemes. A committee composed of Governor Pardee of California Senator Dubois of Idaho, Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, Gov ernor Folk of Missouri and Representa- tive E. W. Martin of South Dakota has been named for the purpose of framing a uniform law to be presented to the legislatures of the western States. The law on this subject passed by the Cali fornia legislature in 1905, which will probably serve as model for the pro- posed legislation, makes it felony for any officer of a corporation to circulate or aid in the circulation of any wilfully and fraudulently exaggerated report of the value of the stock of that corpora ton, the penalty for such an offence being imprisonment in a county jail or State prison for term not exceeding two years, or a fine not exceeding s, LOGO, or both. The law has worked well in California, the distribution of many fake" prospectuses having been pre- vented by the issue of fraud orders, and at least one notorious promoter having been sent to the penitentiary.
 There are many good mines, but they are not the ones that are the most skill

failed to reveal any evidence whatever that the drinking water ever caused a single case, that the drinking of wa- ter could possibly start case, or that there are any indications pointing to the possibility that spring well river or hydrant water can reasonably be charged with having probably, started any particular case. The lief, al- though almost universal among med lcal men, thattyphoid fever is started by the drinking of water, appears never to have met with the slightest support from any facts So far as can be discovered from the literature, it is a pure assumption, unsubstantiated either by experiemnt or experience. It seems to have been taken for granted that since the water and the disease are related to each other, the relation must be through the particular water which we drink; this, too, in defiance of known facts that stand in opposition to so gratuitous an assumption.

TYPHOID AND DRINKING WATER.
 There is none of the perils that att tend summer in the country against which the summer visitor is so con- stantly warned, and of which, as a ruie' he stands in so much dread, as the danger of contracting typhoid fever through the use of impure water. Hard ly year passes in which there are not numerous cases of typhoid among those who have returned to the city from the country, and in all cases, as a rule, the disease is attributed to impure drink Ing water. Visitors to the country are warned by their phsiclans to examine carerully the sources of the water SUD- ply where they live, and to boil the water before drinking 1t if there is any room Tor suspicion as to its purity. 1t requires some courage, therefore for a physician to challenge this established pelief, and to declare that water plays minor and unimportant part in the propagation of this disease Yet this is what Dr. R. G. Eccles of Brooklyn does in recent issue of the Medical Rec ord. He does not deny that water plays an Important part in the development Of the disease, but he lays the major part of the blame for its propagation on 'Musca domestica," the common household fly, which is so catholic in 1 It's tastes, that after filling its anten- nae with putrid "carrion, it does not hesitate to sprawl over the most dus- cious food that the market provides for human consumption.
 Dr. Eccles Is very positive and em- phatic in his renuncatlon of the im- pure water theory of the origin of ty- phoid fever. That the development of typhoid fever is connected with the use of infected water" he says, there is no reasonable room to doubt The facts substantiate this hypothesis toe firmly for it to be likely ever to be se- riously shaken. That typhoid fever results from the drinking of infected water is quite a different proposition and one that there are many reasons for doubting. The general beliei among medical men at present is that the drinking of polluted water gives the disease. Since the polluted watei does. somehow, give the disease, the assumption has been made that it re. suits from the drinking of such wa ter, There is no recognition of the fact that other explanations are possible and may be better.
