FROM MEDICAL SOURCES.

Harvey, who discovered the circu-
Iation of the blood, is said to have
recorded a dream in which a. humble
bee stuag him in his left thigh, on
place where a couple of days later ap-
peared an ugly ulcer.
DIR. andrew Wilson says: "Typhus
fever was once very rife in our big
centers of population. In Edinburgh
it was often epidemic, being bred in
the dirty, overcrowded slums of those
days, amid the squalid, poverty
stricken crowd. At one time they
had 120 cases in the hospital"
An English physician has discov-
cred that the time usually allowed for
the clinical thermometer to remain
in a patients mouth is too short to
give an accurate idea of the degree
of temperature. He says 80 minutes
is often not too long to keep the Their
mometer in the mouth to get reliable
results.
A scientific commission which has
been investigating the pecul1arities Of
the Mediterranean or Malta fever has
come upon evidence which shows that
the infection of the disease may be
transmitted by goats. DR.. Dammit
and Maj. Horrocks found the specific
organism of the fever in the milk OF
goats that were apparently healthy.
The blood of several of the goats gave
reaction which is peculiar to the
fever.
Through scientific investigation it
has been ascertained that the bacteria
of diphtheria adhering to eating and
drinking utensils retain life up to Is
days, and that sufficient removal of
the infection cannot be accomplished
by washing the glasses and rubbing
them ury with cloth. Neither can
forks and knives be freed from infec-
ton by simply rubbing them. This
can, however, be accomplished within
one minute by washing with a two
per cent. solution of soda of SO de-
grees.

LITTLE IRoNIES OF LIFE.

The only essay entered for the annual
prize offered by the Partisan Academy
of Moral and Political Sciences did not
receive the award, as it was too illegible
to be read.
Sir Alfred Harmsworth offered $500
reward for information which might
lead to the arrest of certain reckless
motorist, who turned out to be Sir AL
fred's brother.
Dying in poverty in San Francisco
hospital, Luscomb Seares received word
that the British government had just al
lowed his claim Of 100000 arising
from losses during the Boer war.
Gen. Dokstouroff, running upstairs to
thank the minister of war for ordering
him to the front Che had begged to be al
lowed to die soldiers death), was
claimed by heart disease on the top step.

out hay cocks, and nobody seemed to
be- hurt so very much. We heard a To-
connective whistle up the road, and
some one said the relief train was
coming with doctors and nurses, but
the show owner who was with us
said: "Relief doctors, nothing. That
is a train-load of lawyers and claim
agents to settle with us. The doc
tors will not come till tomorrow.
Now, everybody pretend to he hurt
awful bad, and strike the sharks for
$4,000 apiece, and come down q, 800,
if you can't do any better
1t was getting daylight, and the re-
lief train stopped, and the good IA
maritans came wading into the nay
marsh, bent on settling with us cheap.
The first lawyer asked the principal
owner how many were killed, cause
they could figura exactly how much
they have to pay for a dead one, but
the live ones are the ones that make
trouble for railroad, cause they can
kick and argue. The boss said nobody
was dead, but the giant. who was
mired in out of sight. The giant
heard what was said. and he yelled
that he was alive, and wouldn't settle
for less than 5000, but the claim agent
said the giant would be dead in Is
minutes in that quicksand, so he would
let him sink, and pay for him as a
dead one.
The giant said if they would pull
him out OF the mud he would settle
for 500, and they pulled him out,
and the rest of the injured were going
to mob him for settling so cheap.
One of the claim agents found the
bearded woman sitting on hay cork,
combing out her whiskers, and asked
what it would take to settle, and she
said $4,000, and she got up and Walked
over to another hay cock where the
Circassian beauty was drying Der
hair, and the claim agent looked at
how spry the bearded woman wake d,

THE YOUNG IDEA.

The teacher wished to impress the
idea of the wrong of idleness. He led
I'D to it by asking who were the per-
sons who got all they could and did
nothing in return. For some time
there was silence, but at last little
girl exclaimed, with a good deal OF
confidence: please. sir, it's the baby!"
A discussion of the word hyphen
was being held in school. "Give me
some word joined together by hy-
phen," said the teacher to the class.
Among others came the word bird
cage. eyes" said the teacher, "and
who do we put hyphen between bird
and cage:" For the bird to sit on"
answered one of the boys, promptly.
A school-teacher instructing her
classes in grammar wrote this sem
tence on the board for correction:
"The horse and the cow is in the lot"
No one seemed to know what was
wrong with it, till at last polite little
boy raised his hand. what is it,

should put the lady first" corrected
Johnny.
A Boston public school-teacher was
trying to give her pupils definite idea
Of a volcano. With red chalk she drew
on the blackboard fiery flames issuing
from a mountain top. When the draw
ing was done she turned to the class
before her, and said: "Can any of you
tell me what that looks like?" 1T
looks like hell, ma'am," replied one of
the youngsters, with startling prompt
ness.
In England elementary schools are
organized for girls" or for infants"
Of late years the mixed" system has
been introduced, and many Of the
schools have been organized as
"senior" or "junior" mixed. An in
spector recently met on the school
stairs a little nondescript in pima
fore, and asked: Come, what are
you doing here? Are you in the boys
or the girls?" "No, sir" said the
small one, I'm junior mixed!"

THE LITTLE WIDOW.
A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to
Have.

"a little widow, a neighbor of mine,
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was so weak that it would
not retain food of any other kind"
writes grateful woman, from San
Bernardino Co., Cal.
II had been i'll and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostration
for three long months after the birth
OF my second boy. We were in despair
until the little widows advice brought
relief.
Il liked Grape-Nuts food from the be-
ginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that I
was able 10 leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. In 2
months my weight increased from 95
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down, and l felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly, and still more so
when they heard that Grape-Nuts alone
had brought the change.
my 4-year-old boy had eczema, very
bad, last spring, and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
peevish. put him on diet of Grape
Nuts, which he relished at once. He
improved from the beginning, the &c
zema disappeared, and now he is fat
and rosy, with delightfully."- soft, clear
skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did it.

NOT LIKELY TO ESCAPE.
Sarcophagus Was Heavy Enough to
Hold Remains of Napoleon
Down.

Henry Vignaud, secretary of the Amer
lean embassy at Paris, enjoys telling of
tomb of Napoleon, relates Success Maya
zine. As the loquacious guide referred
to the various points of interest in con-
necyicn with the tomb, the American
evinced the greatest interest in all that
was said.
This immense sarcophagus," acclaimed
the guide, weighs 40 tons. Inside of that,
and inside of that is leaden casket, her.
metically sealed, weighing over two tons.
Inside of that rests a mahogany coffin
containing the remains of the great man."
For moment the American was silent,
as if in deep meditation. Then he said:
''It seems to me that you've got him
all right. If he ever gets out, cable me
at my expense"

an hour, on hippity-hop railroad in
Pennsylvania, and the night was hot,
and the mosquitoes from across the
line in New Jersey were singing their
solemn tunes, and pa, who attended a
lodge meeting that night at the town
we showed in, was asleep and talking
in his sleep about passwords aud
grips, and the freaks and trapeze per-
formers in our car had got through
kickinG about how the show was run
ming into the ground, when suddenly
there was a terrific smash-up ahead,
an engine boiler exploded, a freight
car OF dynamite on a side track eX-
ploded, and there was a grinding and
humping of the cars. Then they rolled
down a bank, over and over, so the
upper berth was the lower berth half
the time, and finally the whole bust
ness stopped in hay marsh, and the
bilge water in tHe marsh leaked into
the hold of our car; people screamed,
and some one yelled ''fre!" and
pulled on pa till he woke up.
l thought pas head was all caved
in, because he talked nutty. The
first thing he ssa1 was: Say I, pro-
nounce your mare, and repeat efter
me-" and then he said: 81 promise and
swear that l viii! never reveal the Sc
crets of this degree" and then the con-
ductor pulled PAS leg and said:
"Crawl out of TIE window, old man,
cause the train is in the ditch, the
car is afire, and # you don't get out in
about a minute with the other freaks,
you will be a burnt Offering"
Pa said you couldn't fool him, cause
he knew he was being initiated into
the 20-steenth degree of the masons,
and he guessed he could tell a
degree from a train wreck. cause the
degree was a darn sight worse than
q wreck, but the conductor took one of
those long glass fire extinguishers and
sprinkled the medicated water on the
freaks in the next berth, and then

Then when the bearded woman
yelled that the fire had almost reached
her whiskers, and would nobOds save
her, pa began to get ready to more On,
cause he concluded he hadn't been
riding a goat after all, and he told me
to hand him his pants. Pa is man
that will never go out among people,
DO matter how dark the night is, with
out his pants, and I admire him for
it. Some of the circus men didn't care
for dress that night, but got out just
as they were, and the result was that
when daylight came they had TO tie
hay around their legs.
Our car was bottom-side up, but l
found pas pants, and he got his legs
in, and I buttoned him in, but felt
all the time as though | had buttoned
them in the back, SO the seat was in
front, but the fire was cracking, and
pa pushed me out of a transom, and
then he crawled out, and we sat down
in the mud.
The bearded woman came next, with
her whiskers done up in curl papers.
and then the fat woman got one foot
through the transom, and she couldn't
get it back in, and the train hands got
an ak and were going to cut her leg
off, and save one foot, at least, when
pa got a move on him, and took the
ak and broke out the side of the car,
and got her out. Eight or nine men
lifted her tenderly onto stack of hay,
and she wrapped it around her, cause
she left her clothes in her berth.
