Anti-Typhoid incubation,

Gen. Lord Kitchener is said to be
favorably impressed with the value of
anti-typhoid incubation in the British
army. The evidence as to it's effective
ness in checking enteric fever, as pre-
sented in the Journal of the Royal
Army Medical Corps is, indeed, very
strong. The method of incubation,
which was advocated in 1897 by Sir
A. r. Wright, was first tested on a
large scale in India and Egypt, with
encouraging results. It was also
shown that during an epidemic at
Maidstone not one of the 81 nurses
and attendants who had been inocu-
lated was attacked, whereas there
We're 16 cases of typhoid among 120
nurSes who had not been inoculated
The experiments are being continued
IN India, to which country $4,000
doses of the inoculating material
have, up to date, been sent. 1t has
been found that second incubation
increases the degree of immunity.
Lieut.. Luxmoore reports that during
the Meerut epidemic in the Seven
teenth Lancers, 81 of the 63 cases &C.
Cured in soldiers who had not been
inoculated, the other two being men
who refused to submit to second
operation. The Lancet holds that in
oculation for typhoid fever must here
after be held as necessary for the pro-
lection of soldiers as vaccination is
against smallpox. The observations
made during the Meerut epidemic also
emphasize the fact that sanitarians
have fixed their attention too much on
water as a source of infection. More
recently, the fatal activity of flies has
received some notice; but there is a
third way in which the germs are
scattered broadcast-by means of
dust-which has heretofore been in
sufficiently studied

The other day a corporal and pri-
vate of marines were elected from the
building by officers and Immediately
tremendous protest was voiced by
the navy department.
Another insult to the uniform" it
was alleged, and the demand arose
from army and navy quarters as to-
whether the uniform OF the nation
must forever be thus subjected to in

of the navy set an inquiry on foot.

Small boys will no doubt continue
t. eat green fruit with no discrimina-
ton as to kind or quantity or manner
of consumption. For the benefit of
less adventuresome adults, the depart
ment of agriculture informs us that
adequate mastication will prevent dis
astrous results from eating unripe
fruit, and that the danger is less than
is commonly supposed, especially
from gooseberries, plums, apples and
pears. This is in accord with the as
sertion of the poet that it was a little
green peach that made the trouble.
On ripe consideration, the Youths
Companion feels constrained to ad-
wise everybody of whatever age to es-
chew all green fruit-eschew it 80
times.

KEENE'S HORSE TRAINER
AN INTERESTING FIGURE

THUS far this season James r.
/ Keene may be accounted the most
successful man on the American turf.
The winnings of his racers already
are we'll beyond the 100000 mark,
and Saratoga and the fall meetings,
with the richest stakes, are yet to
come. Keene has AZ horses in his
string, all of his own breaking, and
knows all of them as intimately as a
shepherd knows his dogs. There is
one man, however, who knows more
about them than Keene does, and is
more responsible for their perform
ances. His name is James Rowe. He
knows his charges as we'll as mother
knows her children, and cares for
them as solicitiously.
Rowe is one of the most interesting
figures in racing circles. He has gone
up the ladder from stable boy and
has been jockey, starter, trainer and
owner. At one stage of his career he

Whale Leather,


The Newfoundland fishermen, &C.
cording to a consular report, have been
attempting to make whale leather a
commercial product, and are said to
be meeting with some success. The
average whale hide covers a surface
of about 1900 square feet A square
foot of the hide weighs from two to
five ounces and is priced as high as
SO cents. The leather is unusually
tough, and is said to have great wear
ing qualities, and may therefore be
adapted to the covering of furniture,
buggy tops and seats, and also auto.
mobile uses. 1t is also said that it can
be used for boots and Shoes Leather
