WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS.
Story of Fight Being Made by Pow.
 erful Aggregation of Workingmen.

erful Aggregation of Workingmen.
 Victims of tuberculosis outnumber the casualty list in modern warfare. Means for the limitation of the spread of the dread disease and the best methods for its cure are occupy ing the attention of the medical pro- Ifession and filling pages in maga- zines. newspapers and periodicals. All the people are interested for the reason that all of the people are lia- ble to infection. Tuberculosis sani- tariums, farms" and camps" are numerous and increasing in number. Any intelligent effort at the preven- tion of tuberculosis is certain to meet with general approval.
 Among the wage-earners, tuber- culosis is prevalent, especially, with ltradesmen or clerks in sedentary oc- lcupations. No mechanic is more lia- ble to disease than is the printer. For years tuberculosis has been common in this trade. and the printers have always been alert to ascertain and adopt scientific methods for the warding of and curing of the dis ease. Union printers conduct a home at Colorado Springs, and there is attached to this home tuberculo- sis hospital. At present there are nearly 50 patients in this hospital. The superintendent of the Union Printers home, in all of his reports, dwells upon the number of cures that result through the scientific treat ment and modern methods for the treatment of tuberculosis in use al the Union Printers home. Hundreds of young men afflicted with the dreaI disease have gone to Colorado Springs, taken the course of treat. ment prescribed, and are now a, work at the printers trade. sound in body and fulfilling their mission as useful citizens. A few years ago the board of trustees of the Uuion Print. ers' home decided to establish a tent colony, and this experiment has proven a great success. The Union Printers home is supported by the members of the International Typo graphical union. each member con. itributing 15 cents a month to the fund. The Information Typograph- ical union has promoted many meas. ures for the benefit and welfare of 1t: membership. but none more praise. worthy or productive of more sub. stantial results than the Union Print .ers' home and its hospital annex

CONDUCTORS LOT IN MEXICO.
How the Street Car Company Keeps
 Tab on Him.

They have funny way of running street cars in the city of Mexico. ac- cording to J. H. Handlon, who has just returned from pleasure tour of that country. He paid particu- lar attention to the street car service in the southern republic.
 'I went into the office of the cleo tric car lines of the City of Mexico" said Mir. Handlon to reporter of the San Francisco Chronicle. Tn, the waiting room was one of these two bit porcelain cuspidors, chained to a staple in the floor and padlocked. l saw the necessity of such precautions when inspected the car service.
 "As a car leaves the barn a fellow, called the 'caredor,' Or something like that, takes receipt from the con- ductor for everything in the car. any parts missing when the car comes back into the barn are charged to the conductor. saw a fellow docked for a missing brass rod from a curtain. The conductor on the shift before him had got away with 1t. Another conductor had un- screwed a brass handle of door to sell somewhere. The company is losing 2,500 electric globes month 1; conductors sell them and report them as broken. Now all globe sockets are etched with acid, and must be returned to prove breakage.
 sr-t oc n cash register on a street car in Mex leo. The fare is six cents tMexican) Each conductor carries small book from which he tears little ticket and hands it to passenger as a sort of receipt for his fare. To en- courage the public to ask for these coupons, they are good as lottery tickets at the monthly drawing when s2.500 is distributed in prizes So most of the passengers save th>s> tickets.
 An inspector jumps the car DC. casionally and makes the passengers show their coupons. The conductor has to produce enough money to correspond with the number of IfCkelS gone HUH uis UoOhict-
 The conductors. however. have a way of telling the peons. Six cents with a lottery ticket. four cents without. and then they pocket the four cents. They have also issued counterfeit tickets and pocketed the fares.
 "Melcans conductors are paid 1( cents an hour Mexican moneyD What they get that the company does not is another matter.
 "The motormen are paid IS cent an hour the first and second years IS cents an hour the third year. zS cents an hour the fourth year and 2. cents an hour from the fifth year on The conductor. however. is neyei ! paid any more than 10 cents an houl , because his job is full of gooC chances. The reason the motor man gets 30 much more pay is thai he spends about half his time in jail
 Every time there is an accident tn rnotorman is arrested and jailed un
 til the case is settled. but the com
 pzny never has to pay any damages

 American Smelling & Refining is destined to continue market leader for some time in the present upturn in prices, according to best market opinion. For the fiscal year ended April 30 the companys surplus after charges of all kinds represented near ly 13 per cent on the $50,000,000 of common stock against 10 the previous fiscal year. The years net earnings show big increse. The number of the company's stockholders has in- creased 20 per cent. in the last SO days As to Missouri, Kansas & Texas the same firm says
 "The earnings of the road have shown enormous increases in the past year. Gross for the 1907 fiscal year probably amounted to over $25,000,- 900, which is ah increase over the pre- cedlng year of more than IS per cent. This in itself is not so very remark able, but the operating economies put into effect throughout the year allowed net earnings to increase over 48 per | cent. The surplus applicable to the common stock increased no per cent
 Missouri, Kansas & Texas is now earning nearly 6 per cent, on it's com
 mon stock"

LOAD STALLED as HORSES.

Thirty-eight horses driven in single team by eighteen men attracted much attention in Cambridge late yesterday. They hauled sixty-ton shaft from the Boston and Albany railroad yard at Harvard and Sixth streets up through Main street, Massachusetts avenue and Mount Auburn street to the Bos- ton Elevated Railway power house at Boylston street So many horses working together would have been enough, of themselves, to draw crowd, but the shafting was so heavy that the street surface could not at all points sustain it, and when the heavy truck sank down through the solid pavement almost to the hubs a block ade was formed. This was lifted only by the aid of a wrecking car, which furnished a cable and power to give the load a new start. The break through the pavement came at Bur leigh and Main streets, but the trail of the truck was plainly diseernible over large part of it's route. It was mid night before the load was landed at the power house.-Boston Transcript.

THE COPS AND THE DEAD CAT.

A favorite dodge by New York po- 1lcemen on pay day to get their en- velopes from the station before they report off duty is to find a dead cat somewhere along their beat. By or der of the department they are re- quired to report this find to the sta- tion immediately, but nothing flinders a friendly cop from passing the cat over the line Into another policeman's territory. Then he, too, may report to the station the discovery of dead cat But at the West 97th street sta tion house the other day the lieuten- ant behind the desk got wise when five of his men reported a dead cat within two hours. He ordered a roundup of half dozen street cleaners on Tenth avenue, and with one accord the white wings testified that it was a discarded huff which the cops had been reporting and then passing along down the line.-New York Pittsburg Dispatch.

BY MAIL FROM HELL.

James Wight of Rockland, received last week a letter plainly postmarked Hell" It was something new to llim, as it will be to the reader, that the place indicated is within the jur- isdiction of the Postal Union, and he had some curiosity as to the geogra- phical location of it. The letter did not smell of birthstone nor was there anything uncanny about 1t save the postmark Opening it, Mir. Wight found that the letter was written by a friend who was an assistant surgeon in the United States navy on one of the warships that visited Rockland some time since, when the acquaint- ance was formed and was written at and mailed from his native village in Norway. In the Norwegian language there is nothing internal about Hell, and it probably never occurs to the residents that the name appearing as a postmark on a letter to English speaking countries might be bit startling .-Kennebec Journal.

"Tll attend to him. l right down to see his mother thi stant. The big bully! The idea his hitting a little fellow like II teach him a lesson.

suits are to be looked for, because their close relationship with man will show what can be done with them in the al- deviation and possibly the cure of the disease. One thing can be certainly be said, and that Is that If it be humanly possible, with the present knowledge of the scientists in charge of this sta tion and the ultimate knowledge of the disease they will obtain from their work at Molokai, for cure for the hitherto ineurable disease to be ob- tained, 1t will be obtained.
 At no spot on earth could the experi- ments toward the cure of lepresy be carried on with the same advantages and with the same hope of ultimate success as at the federal leprosarium at Kalawao, one of the two Molokai towns peopled by the lepers. And at no other spot on earth are the prepara- tions for the scientific study of the baffling disease to be more complete than they are at this leprosarium. Just at the present red tape is interfering with the active work of erecting the big hospital, but Uncle Sam will not always be unwinding this red tape nor hampered with It's twists, and when the hospital is started it will be carried through to completion with as little de- lay as possible. One hundred thousand
 dollars has already been voted for this work for the building of the leprosar- ium alone, while the equipment will be otherwise provided for, Dr. Brincker- hoff has spent much time in figuring out the arrangements for the various wards, pharmacy rooms, labora tories,
 operating rooms and grounds and be- Ing unlimited in expense money has planned an ideal scientific workshop, such as will be the envy of the medi- cal scientific workers the world over
 For the carrying on of the work for the future the United States govern
 ment will allow him $5OOOO a year In no country at any time has the matter of fully Investigating this disease and finding possible remedy been taken up so thoroughly and systematically, and at no time in the history of the
 world have the chances for finding a cure seemed so bright.
 Even as it is, by reason of the vigor- ous policy of segregation carried on so energetically by the Board of Health of the territory of Hawaii, in the face of the passive opposition and some times of the active opposition of the Hawaiian people the disease in the Hawaiian Islands begins to show some signs of abating. At one time the num- Der of those confined in the Molokai settlement, hemmed in between beet ling crags and a rocky and rough sea- coast, in their natural prison, amount ed to over 1900 To-day the number fof unfortunates at the settlement are | only few in excess of 300, although the islands are secured by the agents of the Board of Health and all sus- pected persons vigorously examined and the afflicted ones sent at once to the settlement, the rules being more strictly applied now than at any time. That the number of lepers is decreas- | ing Is encourag cement enough for the authorities to pursue their present arduous and expensive work, even in the face of mutterings from the people, | by whom their humane efforts are of- | ten misunderstood.

BRITISH MusEuMs pEcn1NE.

Is the British Museum losing it's powers of attraction as one of the
 "show" places of London? The offi- cial returns for 1906 show a striking falling off in the number of attend ances. Tt is a matter for regret" says the report, that further de- cline in the number of visits to the mQseum has to be recorded for the year 1sO6 The total number was
 691, 950--a falling off of nearly 122.-
 900 from the number in 1905. Nor has the decline been confined to weekday visits, as it was in the previous year,
 The 57,73S visits on Sundays were less by 4,369 than those in 1905. We
 must go back to the year 1900, with its 689, 249 visits, before finding to- tai to compare with that of the year 1906. At the same time it is an in dication of a steady growth of intelli-
 gent interest in the collections that while the numbers of visits decrease, the sale of guidebooks generally tends to increase. The number of
 visits of students to the reading room
 has also been reduced by 1000, the total for the year being 212,997, as
 against 214,946 in 1905. The daily
 average was TOP. The number of visits of students to particular de- tpartment in 1906 was 55,51S, as against 57557 in 1905. The number of visits to the newspaper room decreas- ed by 1000, while, as regards other fluctuations, there were 1,20e fewer visits in the sculpture galleries, but
 500 more in the department of manu- scripts. and nearly HOO more in the department of British and medieval
 tiquities.-London Express.
