On the 7th day of October. in the
year 1892, science witnessed an act
Of self-devotion which religion and
patriotism have indeed often equaled,
but which they have never excelled.
Cholera Germs Swallowed.
There was at that time In Germany
a scientist called Max Won Petten-
kofer. He was one of the founders
of the science of hygiene. After a
long life given to the study of venti-
ments of his speciality, he had become
interested in cholera.
The question was whether cholera
could be transmitted by its bacilli hi
the absence of other causes. The
only way to settle this question was to
perform the experiment. Petten-
kofer performed it-on himself.
On the day mentioned, in the pres
ence OF witnesses, Pettenkcfer swal-
lowed b!assful OF liquid containing
large and active culture" OF chol-
er hscilli. His life, in all probable
ity would have been the penalty
which ne would have been obliged to
pay for the success of his expert
ment. Fortunately, the result was
such as to indicate that the little
slightly curved organisms Of cholera
need come assistance in carrying on
their work. Pettenkofer survived
He afterward said:
1.-THE cholera liquid tasted like the
purest water Some of my friends
were concerned for me, and asked
that II / were determined that the
experiment should be made that they
might be allowed to sacrifice them
selves IN place OF their old teacher.

old maxim, Fiat experimentum In

Enect is General

SO strong has become this movement toward the civ
that the rural home life including the home life of the
village and small town we'll as that of the farm is in
serious danger The young man of the farm longs to
get to town TO taste the sweets of life that he feels
filled with excitement and opportunities. He belitt]es
the Wholesome life with which he is familiar and looks
forward to the time when he can enter business in his
country town.
The ambitious inhabitant of the country town in
turn feels that his sphere of activities is limited where
ne is, and looks to the city for enlarged field of bust
ness for himself and for better social opportunities for
his family.
This lure of the city is not confined to Individuals
1t has caught the Imagination of the great mass Of com
mon people in every walk of life If they cannot live
In the city, they will trade there Attracted by the
ghtterng show they pass up the home merchant with
whom they have traded for years and 90 or send to the
city for the necessaries of life things that tbev
could buy more cheaply at home.
This tendency is not only driving the local merchant
to the wall, but it is rapidly parayzng the spirit of
local enterprise. The excitement of the seething.
busting city seems irresistible. Where will it end5
Every one who knows the tendency of city life who
has witnessed its deterorating influence realizes the
grave danger of the present situation
Commenting on this subject forceful writer saws:

gested centers of populatonn the cities are savagey

that great public should be organized and
the whole powers of the state and nation exerted for
the beterment of all the conditions of rural life and TO

The Mail Order Business

This is but one illustration of the lack of conf
dence found in many communities 1t is that lack
OF confidence, or, perhaps better, lack of
knowledge of familiar things, which has enabled
rural districts.
1t recognized fact that the retail business of the
country villages and the large towns for that matter,
is being destroyed Year by year the once prosperous
merchants being forced to the wall driven out
by the mail-order business. And this is taking place
in face OF the fact that the population and purchasing
power of the country districts is ever on the increase
What is the matter?
The maorder houses are drawing the cash retail
trade from its natural channels to the cities
The growth OF this octopus has been phenomenal
From jelly-ike idea without form an experiment
fifteen years ago, has grown to proportions that
threaten the determination Of the retail country mer-
chant.
An idea of the way the money of the people is being
drawn into this maiorder trade can be had from the
reports of some of these houses
certain mall-order house of Chicago which began
with a few thousand dollars fifteen years ago now car
rcs capital stock of 100000 and has arranged to
increase that stock to S4o,oooooo The monthly
business amounts to 100000 with yearly net profit
OF more than $3,ooo,ooo.
This mind you, is the record of but one institution
There are dozens of them in Chicago, little and big
and hundreds OF them in the various cities of the United
States. They springing up like mushrooms every
night All that is necessary to start mail order bust
ness is a place to receive mail and money enough to

goods that could have been bought cheaper at their

Under this stimulus the growth of our cities has been
abnormal :. aided no doubt by an abnormal ranspor-
tatlon condition. "To him that hath shall be given,
and from him that hath not, even that which he hath
shall be taken away" has been the working policy Of
modern transportation companies The small town
has been sacrificed to the city This was the natural
result OF the abnormal conditions Of competition In
centers where numerous railroads meet low rates are
given to both going and outgoing freight but where
there is but road the traffic is taxed cali that will

dency to draw the manufacturing interests into the
great transportation centers. The tide has flowed
strongly toward the cities, and the small town which

a hard struggle to hold its own
