A Doctors Wonderful Discovery,

What gives promise of being one OF
the most beneficial discoveries in the
history Of the world was modestly
suggested by DR.. Albert Calmette, di-
rector of the Pasteur institute at Lille.
France, in the course Of an address be
fore the International conference on
tuberculosis in Vienna. He reported
that he had been able to render all
the animals used for experiment at the
institute-cattle, sheep and guinea pigs
immune against the most formidable
doses of tuberculosis virus-that is to
say, the immuniZation has been com
plete for the eleven months during
which they have been under obserya-
ton. If it be proved that it is perna-
nent or that it lasts even for a period
of only a few years and that a similar
treatment may be applied to human
beings the Importance of this little
heralded discovery can hardly be over
estimateu.-Leslie's Weekly.

The Dollar and the Peso.

The question in Mexico of what a
dollar means has recently been au-
thoritatiyely settled. The department
of finance has decided that the word
dollar shall mean the American gold
dollar and that when the Mexican sill
YER dollar is meant the word peso"
shall be employed. Some time ago an
American resident at Tampico wrote
dollars on IL check. and the Tampico
bank cashier to whom the check Wa.
presented paid the mount in gold val
ues. The drawer of the check claimed
that 1t was his intention to have silver
paid. Litigation was threatened, but
upon Investigation the authorities de-
cided against the drawer Of the check.

Drink Lowers Moral Tone.

There is a potent argument agains,
strong liquors that outweighs every
thing that al be said in their favor.
This is that intoXicants sway the judg-
ment of men, frequently modifying
the fine moral distinctions that should
dominate all conduct.
In all civilized countries men and
women in their hours of sobriety are
usually sane. Liquor stirs the imagi-
nation and distorts the view. What
seemed repellent becomes less so and
finally alluring. The ugly realities are
blurred.
That indictment of drink would alone
condemn it even il it never led to the
wreck Of health, the waste of earn,
ings and the ruin Of careers.-New

NO DEFENCE FOR PETTIBONE.
HIs Attorneys ASK That Case he Submitted
without Argument.

BoIsE, Idaho. Dec. .3l.-The taking Of
evidence in the Pettibone trial camc to a
sudden and unexpected end this morning
Realizing that the defendants health is
in such condition that he cannot further
endure the strain OF the trial the defence
rested its case and proposed to the State
that the case be submitted TO the Jury with
out argument
This announcement was made by Judge
o. y. Hilton Of Denver, who has taken
CO. 800 Dsrrow's ,pisoe at the head 81 .ha
defence. He said that hs had examined
the evidence submitted by the prosecution
and found that the defendant had not been
connected with the crime charged In the
indictment.
Attorneys for the State decided after
consultation 10 ask for the instructions of
the Court before deciding whether or not
to dispense with the arguments.
Judge Wood said he would have the in-
structions ready on Thursday morning and
the State will then decide on its future
course. II the State is sustained in its con-
tention that it is not necessary to connect
the defendant with the crime charged IN
the indictment. providing a conspiracy to
kill enemies OF the Western Federation Of
Miners has been proved and that the kill
ing Of Steunenberg was an incident to that
conspiracy and that the defendant was a
member of the conspiracy. the case will TO
argued.
Pettibone was in court this morning. but
it was necessary to carry him up the steps
leading to it.
