An illustration of the broad-mind-
ed view which scientific men take of
their duties toward the public is af-
iforded by the action of DR.. M. Dorset.
of the Bureau of Animal Industry,
Department of Agriculture, declares
Youths Companion. DR.. Dorset has
obtained a patent for process Of
protecting swine from hog cholera;
but instead of trying to make money
frem the patent. he has given 1t to
,'tlAe United States Government. The
money value of hogs which die an
inually from cholera is estimated at
.$15, ,O0O,0 Any cure, therefore,
is of great Importance. The method
used heretofore has been the injec-
ition of the cholera virus, but about
twenty per cent. of the treated ami
mails have died. The new method is
the injection of serum from the blood
of an immune hog which has been
made immune by treatment with the
serum of hogs afflicted with the dis
ease. 1t is preventive rather than
a curative measure. The invention
may be used by any citizen of the
United States without payment of
royalty. The reason for patenting it
IS that in that way it becomes possible
20 prevent greedy individuals or firms
from exacting price for the use
pf it.

about fishes as any one in the world
works for the Government at the
Smithsonian Institution for 81 a

CHAPTER Xxx.
Continued.

They were all working in different
parts of the old banqueting hall,
which had for the time been con-
verted into tiny theatre; working,
each in his characteristic way; Win
yard with dashing rapidity; Char
lie with easygoing indifference, ac-
complishing much without appearing
to exert himself, directing everything
without appearing to have will of
his own upon any one question.
There was no fuss, no undue haste
about his movements. AS usual, he
was ahead of his time, and could af-
ford to waste few minutes here and
there with some grave pleasantly.
Colonel Wright was quite content to
occupy a subordinate position, He
was ready to lift the bigger flower
pots for Lena, hand the tacks to
Charlie, or climb up ladder with a
hammer for VINEYARD. 1t was during
the last named service, when they
were both perched high up on a lad
der, that VINEYARD impaired to his
chief the news he had just received.
II have just heard" he said, in a
low voice, as he took the hammer,
that our foreign friends have left
Walso."
Then, without waiting for reply,
he turned and began driving long
nail o the hard beam. Most of us
love to drive nail, though few care
for the more tedious task of first bor-
ing the hole. And so many deals are
split in this world, and many hearts
are broken.
Colonel Wright from below watched
the steady swing of the hammer, and
noted the almost boyish delight which
VINEYARD took in his noisy occupa-
ton. 1t seems that with some people
proper sense of responsibility-a
realization of life's gravity-never
comes; and, what is stranger still,
they appear to get on very well with
out it.
When the nail was driven, and the
curtain duly arranged, the two men
descended and stood back in the hall
TO enjoy the effect of their handiwork.
They were out of earshot, and Char
lie was hammering somewhere be-
hind the dropscene on the stage, so
Vineyard took the opportunity of say
ing:
Colonel, it is just possible that
something may come out in time
about Mario notwithstanding
untrue. I mean, that might do her
harm If my name should in any
way get on gossip's tongue when l
am away, do not trouble to contradict
anything to the general world. For
hec the contradiction would be worse
than the slander--for it would mean
charge of attempted murder. For
myself thought 1 did not care
but now I find do. / should not
like your-Mrs. Wright and your
daughter to believe anything they
might hear. You understand"
"Yes,'' replied the colonel, slowly,

other curtain now?"

HOW to i.ronounce Missouri.

A joint and concurrent resolution
was introduced in the Missouri Legis-
lature to describe the proper pronun.
citation of the name Missouri. The
following section explains Just how it
should pronounced: 'That the only
pronunciation of the name of the
State, in the opinion of this body, Is
that received from the native Indians,
and that it should be pronounced In
three syllables, accented on the Sec
ond syllables. The vowel in the first
syllable is short i, in the second syl<
liable long double o. 20 or oo); in
the third syllable short &, IS in the
two syllables in which it occurs has

Carrier Pigeon Remembers Its Home.

l have known of pigeons imported
from Belgium and kept prisoners for
years which. when liberated. struck
out for home, only to be drowned in
the Atlantic or picked up by some
ship at sea. This proves that no dis
lance appalls them.
During the Franco-Prussian war the
French caught homing pigeon which
was being sent to transmit informa-
ton out of the besieged city of Paris.
The bird was made prisoner of war
and kept in confinement for ten years.
When given its liberty 1t at once re-
turned to its old home, showing that
ten years was not sufficient to drive

He looked fixedly at her, as II at
tempting to penetrate the obscurity;
but she kept her face averted. and he
could read nothing from the dainty
coils of hair turned toward him.
Then the tone of his voice changed
again; he dropped his usual semi
bantering style, and spoke as she had
never heard him speak, except on the
occasion of the first rehearsal, in a
voice which conveyed happy mix
ture of pathos and philosophical in
difference.

slipping away.
They got through the third act sue
cessfully, and the curtain descended
in silence This only lasted, how
ever, moment, and was quickly fol-
lowed by deafening applause. 1t had
been almost too real. The music,
the lowered lights and perhaps the
dull excitement of the approaching
farewell, had affected the actors, and
into their parts they threw an in
tensity and earnestness whics in the
business-like rehearsals had been be-
yond TT 2ir powers.
It was one o'clock before the last
OF the guests at length drove away,
and VINEYARD ran upstairs to change
his clothes for the long journey be-
fore him.

Dec EXPERT TREE CLIMBER.
Scotch Collie Which Performs Truly
~ Wonderful Feat.

To climb straight up a tree is not
the easiest thing in the world for a
dog to do. In fact there is perhaps
not another dog in the United States
that can accomplish what Scotch
collie does in a western town many
times day. He is petted and feasted
by his admirers and struts as proudly
through the streets as does the most
prominent citizen. The peculiar thing
about the dog is that he will not climb
picture, and he will not climb more
than once without an intermission.
When he has reached the knot on the
tree, which he grips with his teeth, he

Laughed Self to Death.

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Bennett, wife
of Frederick H. Bennett, who was
buried at Trenton, died as the direct
result of a humorous story told her
by her husband. Mrs. Bennett
laughed so uproariously at the yarn
that she ruptured a blood vessel.
She died after three days of suffer-
ing. Three years ago two sons of
the Bennetts were drowned together
while swimming in the canal near
their home.

4 delayed bareback" caused by

gas and fragments OF smouldering
cloth from the bore of the gun, viii be
the cause ascribed by the investigating
board for the explosion on the battle
ship Georgia.
This conclusion mas been reached by
a process of elimination, and win be re-
ceived by navy officials with sense
of relief that no new sanger in the
handling OF big guns has been discov-
cred. The explosion on the Georgia
was inevitable. as the battleship was
steaming ten knots an hour In the teeth
OF the wind and the breeze drove tle
unexpected gases into the breech OF the
gun, and upon the charge of powder.
A detailed report of the investigation
will be sent by the board 10 the Navy
Department within a few days.
