This is the fact that Pasteur STUN

made fromSa rabid COW. The period Of
incubation in rabbit was fourteen
days. There 1t continued until the

seven-day virulence and then In due
course the six. A fixed virus then IL
one that produces rabies six days after
incubation. The virus of constant
strength was thus attained. The next
point was to regulate Its strength. This
was accomplished through the discov-
cry Of the fact that exposure to light,
heat and moisture had weakening or
alternating effect upon the virus.
Any one of the three is a comfortable
factor. Therefore Pasteur devised a
method by which the virus should be
exposed for certain length of time In
a lightless and practically moisture
less atmosphere to certain constant
degree of heat. Exactness in the dose
Is now possible.
This Is the method now employed:
From rabbit that has died Of rabies

q A Haunted Library.

One of the most curious "hauntings"
occurs in northern castle of great
antiquity where Mary, Queen of Scots,
rested when she was being conveyed a
prisoner through England. It is mani
tested in the library and takes the
form that the books cannot be kept in
order. They move about or are moved
about from shelf to shelf. II you ar
range the works Of Shakespeare in
correct order on one shelf, by next
morning the volumes are scattered any
how on different shelves. This has
gone on for years. AT differeat times
the library has been searched and lock-
ed, watches have been set all night,
servants have come and gone, but the
mysterious occurrence goes on and is
vouched for not only by the family,
but by the guests who have stayed in
the house. There is no legend to ac-
count for it.-London Modern Society.

SOAP BUBBLE PARTIES.

These are most interesting for all
sizes and ages. Good clay pipes and
CASTLE soap and bowls enough to go
around are the needful things; also
a room, which will not be hurt by y
sprinkling of soapsuds, and one thing
more, the smaller the child the big
ger the apron to cover him.
A little glycerine in the lukewarm
soapsuds will make the bubbles
brighter and more durable, and if a
thick shawl is spread ON the floor
they will bounce upon it like trans
parent balls.
A bubble tournament is great fun.
Arrange sides. with leaders, of
course. Let one side step forward
in a line, with pipes and bowls; then
the leader starts and sees how many
bubbles he can make with one dip OF
his pipe. Each of his followers does
likewise. while some one not in the
game keeps the score. Then the 9TH
er side takes its turn, and the side
which blows the greatest number is
the prize winner.
There are many different ways OF

HOW DID KITTY DO TT

A true cat story is told by cor
respondent of the Hartford Courant.
A family moved to new home
twelve miles from the old one. They
gave their cats to a friend about six
miles from the new home. One Of
them, the mother cat, remained at
her new quarters only a short time.
and nothing was heard from her un-
til this summer. when nearly two
years had passed. One morning she
was discovered in the yard of her old
mistress home in the city, which she
had never seen, being born and rails
ed at the old home in the country.
To the greeting of her mistress she
responded with every show of affec-
ton and delight. OF course the wan
derer was made welcome. She shows
a decided aversion to being put out
Of doors at all, and clings with de-
votedness. which is really touching
to her old friends. Now" asks the
writer, could this be merely chance
that pussy in her tramp life should
find her way to that particular place
or do these dumb creatures know
more than we give them credit for?"

The Republican PANIC.

About all the Republican papers are
telling their readers there has been no
panic except in Wall street, and that
the "little furry" is over and prosperi-
sty is certain in the near future. 1t is
not pleasant to have to disabuse the
minds of those who have been so de-
ceived, and who may be living in a
fools paradise, that there is consider
able remains of this Republican panic
lying around that will require the at
tention Of the political garbage man
before the mir will be free of the bad
financial odor. Why are the Republic
an leaders In Congress so intent on
passing a bill for emergency" currency
If the panic is over and business mat
tiers are resuming their normal condi-
ton? If the panic is over, why don't
the banks all over the country resume
cash payments and restore the enor-
nous amount of clearing house certif1-
Gates and cashiers script that has been
used for currency?, Why have two
large railroad systems become bank
rupt and placed in the hands of receiv-
ers, If the panic is over? Why is the
Pittsburg Stock Exchange still closed
and the New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia stock exchanges really doing
but little legitimate business and hard
ly any stocks being bought or sold on
a margin-even % per cent-if there
was anything approaching normal con-
ditions? Why, the New York banks
have only just made up their legal re
serve, and yet they have many millions
Of government money on deposit.
The last panic commenced in 1892
under Republican administration and
was left as legacy to the Cleveland
administration. Yet now we are sup
posed to be protected by the Repub-
lican party, with Its tariff protecting
the trusts and the redoubtable Teddy
presumed to be holding down the lid
on the Pandora box of panic and bust
ness evils. What Is the good, gentle
men, of trying to deceive the people
and telling Of prosperity and peace,
when there is no peace for the most of
us, who cannot get enough cash to pay
what we owe. If to be optimistic we
must deceive and it is pessimlstic to
tell the truth, it is perhaps unfortu-
nate, but no honest man but knows
what is his duty. Such times are es-
peclally trying to the souls of editors,
who cannot, like other business men,
hold their tongues or pens, but are ex-
pected to give the facts as nearly as
they can arrive at them. AS editors
we must hold our peace or tell the
truth, and for one we prefer the lat
ter alternative. But perhaps we should
not be too severe on our Republican
contemporaries, for 1t makes heap of
difference whose OK is being gored.

loosely drawn as now, is entirely true

Proposed Tarin Commission.

Iuc pan " create tdIlIl CVllllulS-
sion has been proposed to Congress by
Senator Beveridge, but as the stand
patters are in the saddle In both
houses, there Is not much chance Of
tariff issue could be taken out of the
hands of partisans anda commission of
Experts recommend the most available
revision that business conditions and
revenue for the government would seem
more advisable, and Congress, whether
the majority was Republican or Demo
cratic, could be pledged to adopt such
recommendations, the work of such q
commission would be very desirable.
But the tariff issue is the plaything of
political parties for partisan purposes.
The Republican party-that is, the lead
ers-has adopted the new doctrine that
to touch one schedule of the sacred
tariff would undermine the whole struc-
ture, which would result in a catas-
trophe to business and the Republican
party. IF we amend those schedules
we know are shelters for trusts" say
these blind leaders, '.the wicked Demo-
Gratis will have the opportunity to show
the inequalities hid in other schedules,
which we know are good for the bust
ness interests of the whole country"
This logic deceives a good many I'M
sophisticated voters and enables the Re-
publican party to stand pat and let
we'll enough alone, which, being inter-
preted in the light of practical poll
tics, means that the tarlff-protected
trusts will supply campaign funds to
perpetuate this, to them, happy condi-
tion of affairs. A tariff commission,
however, If honestly appointed, could
do much good in pointing out the in
eqnalities and plundering Intention of
each schedule as they proceeded with
their investigations. This would help
to focus public attention on the most
important function of government-the
raising. Of revenue. OF course, Con-
gress would continue to think along
partisan lines, but as the discussion on
each schedule would follow reports Of
the commission, it would be impossible
in the end to prevent the revision and
reformation Of the most glaring In
CAPABILITIES. When the people found that
the sun still shone and water ran in
spite Of the sacred tariff schedules being
revised. they would soon demand more
light from the commission and more
relief from Congress. Probably Sem
ator Beveridge is wasting his time urg-
ing the appointment of a tariff COM
mission; he may have a partisan rea-
son for offering 1.-THE hope that Its
creation will postpone tariff reform
and thus help his party to handle this
delicate issue. But still a commission
would help to bring the one-sided way
of taxing the people under discussion,
and that would let in more light. The
Democrats will welcome tariff publici-
ty; they feel they have SO much the
best of the arguments that can be pre-.
sented that all that is needed to induce
majority of the voters to indorse
tariff reform is to understand how
much they are being plundered under
the present Republican system.

Judge Judson Harmon, of Ohio, be-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

With this exception Mr.. Bryan's re-
mark Is so obviously true that 1t has
great significance for both the great
parties which will contest the presiden-
tial election of this year. Most Of the
Issues upon which these parties have
divided during the last forty years have
been removed. Some of them, like
those turning upon Civil War section
alism, have died of old age. Others
have been showed into the background
by events and by the Republican adop-
ton of Democratic ideas.
The country seems now, as 1t was at
the end Of AIonroes second term, to be
on the eve Of new alignment of par
ties and of issues. The glorious past
Of the Democratic party will be repro
duced in the future If in the drawing
Of new lines it tests every question by
the immortal principles of the old JEFF
fersonian Democracy. The platform to
be adopted at Denver in July should be
a reafiirmation of the Democratic faith
and new declaration Of devotion to
the principles which have made the
party great in the past.
No new or untrled policies of govern
ment which will not stand the test of
those principles should be admitted to
place in the platform No people set
ties more than one or two great issues
ut time. The platform need deal
with few specific measures and make
no vote-catching promises of perform
Ing miracles through legislation.
The platform will be progressive in
insisting that the country's natural re-
sources of water transportation be de-
veloped to supply fully the needs Of
the country's commerce. 1t will, of
course. take high ground in defending
the rights of the States in all func-
lions which clearly belong to them and
the rights and powers of the Federal
Government in all matters which are
clearly national. 1t will insist that
the rights, duties and powers Of the
three coordinate branches of the Gov
eminent be preserved intact. The words
In which it condemns executive usurpa-
ton and the new theories of constitu-
tional Interpretation advanced by the
present Republican administration can
not be made too strong.
In Its declarations on the tariff the
convention should be guided by the JEFF
fersonlal maxim, Equal rights to all,
special privileges to none" While max
ing no attack upon industries that have
grown up under protection, 1t should
insist upon square deal" for all the
people in the buying and selling of COM
modities.
Whatever party may win or lose this
year, the national Democracy can again
become a vital force and open the way
to half a century of success by taking
its stand on the broad national princi-
pies on which all Democrats are united.
