The discovery that mail bag disap-
peared in New York with trihe of
$4,000 worth of property is giving the
postal authorities in that city n
period of anxiety. But the British pos
tai authorities who report the loss of the
bag were recently guilty of sending
bag of New York mail to the Orient. by
mistake. Something of this kind may
have happened to the missing consign-

Health Commissioner Darlington of
New York city says that the mortality
among diphtheria patients there has
been reduced from 40 per cent. to 3 per
cent. by the use of antitoxin. He also
says: This antitoxin is tested on gui-

people protesting against vivisection and
trying to get laws passed TO restrict it.
Vivisection should not be prohibited. 1t
is necessary to the progress of medical
and surgical science. But there have
been frivolous and cruel vivisectionists,
who have brought unrestricted vivisee-
ton into disrepute. If legislation can
prevent unnecessary cruelty without
preventing medical and surgical prog

result advantageously to humanity.

The Broken Bottle symbol.

The breaking Of a bottle over the
bow Of a vessel at launching seems to
be taken by many people as having a
convivial, al sort Of here's-iooking-at-
You significance, but nothing of the
kind is meant; neither has it any asso-
citation with Christian baptism, for
the name of a man-of-war is given
months before the launching. The real
thing typified is sacrifice. Building a
town or setting ship afioat was a sol
ernn matter away back In the dim past,
and such an act was not to be under
taken without deVoting life to pro-
Epitiate the gods. Our refined and hui
name civilization no longer dares to
offer up prisoner or slave on such
occasions. and therefore bottle is
broken to symbolize the taking of q
mans life. United Service Gazette.

died in 1904, the celebrated book coll
lector, when arranging bis library en-
ployed neither secretary nor a libra
rian. butsa footman called Archie, who
knew every book as a shepherd does
each sheep Of his flock. There was a
bell hung in the dukes room at Floors
which was used on no occasion except
to call Archie to his study. The duke
died in sSt. James square at a time
when Archie was himself sinking un-
der mortal complaint. On the day
of the funeral the library bell sudden

sat up in bed and faltered, eyes, my

offered his choice Of playing the part

legs. After careful consideration he
thought the red coat the more becom-

soldier. Apparently he made mistake.

the manager came to him and said:
