How the Antitoxins Work-Have
Reduced Mortality.

DIR. NJ. Allen Starr. in Harper's Magazine
Just as Quinine acts to counteract ma
laria, SO the antitoxins counteract the
symptoms of the various diseases In which
they are used. If used early in the dis
ease they are most efficacious. and even
II used late they are of service.
This is proved by the fact that In 1893.
before the antitoxin Of diphtheria was
used, there were GAGS cases In New York
hospitals of which 1862 were fatal. e.,
"a per cent-while In 1906 there were 7.444
>cases and only 731 deaths-i. e.. 8 per
cent In London In 1894 there were 1865
cases. Of which 1.O35 were fatal. while in
1901 there were 1922 cases, of which only
$40 were fatal In America among o,576
private cases. not in the hospitals. in
1896, only 491 were fatal Taking the
cases the world over 1t may be stated
that the mortality In diphtheria has been
reduced from 30 per cent to 8 per cent.
Another application Of these facts has
been made in the discovery of the use or

this city in 1914 discovery as important
and far-reaching as that Of Behring.
The organism causing cerebro-splnal
meningitis is not found In the blood, put

which lies about the nervous system ana

1t can be separated from this fluid and can
be transferred from man to monkeys or
horses. which animals are susceptible TO
the disease In their blood the antitoxin
is formed as the disease goes on. From
that blood, by various careful methods.

it into the cavity Of the spine. thus reach

brain and spinal cord and in which the
organisms are growing. thus killing them
there. 1t is necessary to puncture the
spine with a hollow needle to draw away
some of the oily fluid and to throw into
the spine the antitoxin through the needle
and leave it there to do its work. The
earlier it is done in the disease the better
the result The effect Is seen both In a
cessation of the fever and in a return TO
consciousness and refer OF paralysis.
And this effect is immediate, SO that one

when S12 persons died in New York from

70 per cent Under the new antitoxin
treatment the mortality is reduced to %
per cent. and will be much more reduced

1t may not be generally known here
that by incubation the English troops in
India have been largely prevented from
contracting typhoid fever during the past
two years, and thus the disease which
had long been a terror to medical men in
the tropics among masses of soldiers Is
NO longer dreaded.

College Students Names Arranged
in Order of Prominence.
Thomas Wentworth Higgfnson. in Harper's Mag
aZne.
If we look at the Harvard catalogues
down to the year 1872 or those of Yale
down to 1867. we reach the dates at
which the alphabetical method was first
adopted for what had come to seem an
important object. The names Of the
students in each class had been pre-
viously arranged. as in English COL
leges, in accordance with the assumed
social rank of their parents. Sometimes
the analogy with the English practice
had been carried so far that those rep
resentine certain families were permit
ted to take their meals at the higher
table allotted to the president and fell
lows of the institution, and after this
promotion bore the name of fellow
commOners.
This sort of social distinction showed
itself at that early period in other
ways. Look at any of the college class
lists Of that period and you find. for in
stance, that the name o. Winthrop.

lists. at either Harvard or Yale. are
likely to be headed by such names as
Mather. Dudley. Saltonstall. Downing.
Quincy ThaCher. ThCSe names eX-
pressed simply social precedence. The
names Of ministers sons were apt to
follow them in the lists. but from time
to time we find that there was a lower
ing or raising of the position o, these.
on account of some special deed Of good
or evil on the part of the father or the
SON. Familiar offenses may have caused
the penalty, as that of stealing fowls Or
being disrespectful to tutors. In one
instance a drop from a place within the
first half of the class to the very foot
was brought about by student steal
ing combustibles and making a bonfire.
In one of the earliest records of the
acts and judgments Of the Yale faculty.
dating back to December. 1851, there
is an entry to this effect:
Whereas Holmes, a student of this
college, on 10th of Novr. last. being the
Sabbath or Lords Day, travelled un-
necessarily and that with Burden or
Pack behind him. from beyond Walling-
ford to this place: which IL contrary to

Military Instruction for Schools.

From the Army and Navy Life.
We are told that in our republican form
of government a large standing army is
considered dangerous. that the idea of
one is repugnant to our people; but the
writer does not share in this belief, but
rather inclines to the opinion. that with a
standing army of 1Oo.O men our glorious
government would be safe as it is to-
day. and indeed. much more so. There
fore, in order that there should be, at all
times, suitable material for the mainte-
nance of our military force. we would
make military education compulsory and
military service compulsory to a certain
extent In all our high schools and COL
leges military tactics should form a part
of the curriculum. and drills should be
held at least once a week.

Indian Burials.
rom Army and Navy Life


The Indian method of burial was to
fasten a corpse upon cross sticks sup
ported by poles in the ground or in the
boughs Of the treetops. Here the air
and the elements silently disposed of the
lifeless clay, until in year or so but
little remained to bear evidence of a
tomb, perhaps some broken sticks in the
top. and a few scattered beads or human
bones beneath the burial place. / can
not conceive of anything more pitifully
grewsome than an Indian burial ground

shaking and swaying the platforms and
wringing the leafless trees. Haunting the

the dead. and whistling through and
over the whitening bones and neglected
remains of those who had many a time

the breath of life stirred within them.

Our Real Army.

From the Army and Navy Life.
No nation ever can or ever did main
tain at all times a standing army sufti-
GENTLY great to defend itself against all
other powers. The strength and the de-
pendence of every government is in her
citizen soldiers. and is in exact proportion
to their bravery and effectiveness. The
state militia or national guard in our
own country, the auxiliary reserve In
England. the Landwehr and the Land
sturm in Germany. stand behind and form
the great military reserve Of the regular

From the Army and Navy Life.

The practice now so general of state
troops going into camp with the most
expensive and elaborate mess furniture
of glass and silver-with colored cooks and
waiters-with finely equipped cooking
ranges. etc, and each company trying to
distance the other in it's table display
and elaborate bill Of fare. is not only de-
moralizing in many ways. but 1t creates
false impressions and does not give the
men the faintest idea Of the way troops
actually subsist In the field. Have these
state encampments conform as nearly as
possible to what they would be in case
the troops were engaged In actual war
