states, "shows that typhoid fever among those who
had been inOculated was reduced to at least one
half of what it was among persons who had not
been inoculated. A similar reduction found

incubation as compared with mortality among the

Such results, almost at the beginning Of the

HIGH PRICES PAID

Set of Six of Louis XIV Days Re-
Gently Sold for one Hundred
Thousand Dollars

The value of chairs is strictly rela-
tive, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Enormous prices have been paid for
chairs in recent years, notably 100000
for a set of half a dozen Louis XIV
chairs, upholstered in Gobelin tapestr
which were originally for Marie An
toinette. Even this price, by the way,
was exceeded by the sums paid for
three of the Hamilton palace tables,
one of which brought $4,000.
most valuable and historically in
teresting suite of furniture is that
which more than century ago was
presented by Warren Hastings to Tippo
Sahib and which was purchased at the
Londesborough sale for $5000- The
suite consists of a card table, a sofa,
two small cabinets and four armchairs.

chair in the world is one of the many
treasures of the Shah of Persia 1t is

rubies, pearls and sapphires and its
value is estimated at 100000. In the
House of Commons at Westminster are
two armchairs which once belonged to
Gladstone and one of which was his
favorite seat when at Downing street
A short time ago a romantic story
was told in the French papers of two
dilapidated armchairs which were sold
among the effects of Madame Borg, a
widow. who died at uellys, an Algerian
seaport town. The widow was reputed
to be rich. but thorough search OF
her rooms failed to disclose any of her
hoardings, and it was assumed by her
relatives that she had died practically
penniless.
Not long after the sale of her fur
niture, however, it was observed that
the purchaser of the chairs. a Spanish
stevedore named Perez. ceased to work,

least $4,000. which had been concealed
in her dilapidated armchairs.

Marooned in the arctic region, with
only the Eskimos for company for four
long years, George B. Cleveland, who

1t was when Cleveland went north
in 1899 to locate a trading post for a
New Bedford syndicate that his worst
experiences took place. After the first
year he was deserted 1900 miles from
the nearest white settlement and left
to make his way back as best he could
He was compelled to join the Eskimos,
and for four years remained with them,
dressing in skins. living in the ice huts
and eating raw meats and fish. Dur
ing this time he acquired the native
language. Constantly travelling from
place to place and treated a mem
Der OF the tribe, he lost much of his
civilized life, and when one day a
Scotch whaler was sighted and Cleve-
land went aboard and met a white
man he could scarcely speak his native
tongue and was nauseated by the
cooked food set before him. II took
him a month to regain his habttual
ease as a civilized man.
From this meeting with the Scotch
men came his employment later as SUI
perintendent of their station, which
he has brought to a success since then

was under a written contract with
the New Bedford people to serve five
years, with the provision that they
should send a ship and provide me with
