chinese treatment Of Animals.

The Chinese never punish their ami
mails. A mule that in the hands OF for-
eigner would be useless or dangerous to
those about it, becomes in the posses
sion of a Chinaman gentle as lamb. We
never beheld a runaway, jibing or a vi
cious mule or pony in Chinaman's en-
ployment, but found the same rattling,
cheerful pace maintained over heavy or
light roads, by means of turf or cluk-k
the beast turns to the right or left, and
stopping with but slight hint from the
reins. This treatment is extended to all
the animals they press into service. Or
ten have we admired the tact exhibited in
getting a large drove of sheepthrough naf-
row. crowded streets and alleys, by
merely having little boy leading one OF
theIflock in front, the others steadily fol-
lowing. Cattle, pigs and birds are equal
ly well cared for.
When in Paris, we asked Mr.. Burlin-
game, who was then our Minister to Chi
ma. whether a society for the prevention
of cruelty to animals ought to be formed
in China. His reply was that there was
no such thing in China as cruelty to ami
mails; the Chinese were about the kind
est people in the world in their treatment
of t1em.- Our Dumb Animals.

Whats.ie Was.

Miss Bixby was not given TO coquetry.
but she was pardonably anxious TO make
an agreeable impression upon Professor
Clark. He was young and handsome,
and like herself, learned, she gathered
from the common friend who was plot
ting to bring them together. Also the
friend, a sprightly North Carolina woman,
referred TO him as a "tar-heel."
"a what2" Miss Bixby inquired.
"Tar-heel," il appeared. was the viva
cious name for a native OF North Carolina.
Miss Bixby, who modestly felt the need
in herself OF an added touch OF yivacity,
impressed the term upon the memory
which, surcharged with knowledge. had
been known 10 be treacherous.
However profound a conversation is
destined TO become, il should begin, in
society, Miss Bixby was aware, with
graceful nothings. "You are tar-heel, ]
believe ?" il seemed TO her would serve
the purpose OF breaking the ice.
He was handsomer and more intellect
ual-looking than she had expected, even;
also shyer and more reserved. The po-
lite commonplace which she had prepared
would be justt the thing to sethim al ease.
Raising her voice, she addressed him
across her friends dinner-table.
al believe, Professor Clark" she re-
marked, with sweet graciousness. "that
you are a tadpole."

Natures Medicine Factory.

Within the past few year new meth
cd OF treatment OF infectious diseases has
been developed which promises TO be OF
great utility. 1t is as yet only in the ten
tative stage, but when further study and
experience have brought out all its posi-
bilitieS and have cleared up some OF the
puzzling problems which it presents, and
removed the difficulties Of its application,
it promises to furnish the physician with
a powerful weapon in his warfare against
disease. If is what is called the opSonic
or vaccine method of treatment.
In this method there is no resort to
drugs or to antitoXins, but the patient is,
as il were, his own medicine factory. II
is the method by which nature, unaided,
seeks to heal, and frequently succeeds.
In the struggle against infection which
goes on in the body large part is taken
by the white blood-corpuscleS and certain
other cells, the province Of which is to
attack the bacteria and destroy them. If
drop of blood is withdrawn and exam
ined under the microscope, the white cor
puScleS will be found with bacteria within
them which they are diSSolving by pro-
cess OF digestion.
In favorable cases this process goes on
uninteruptedly, and if the bacteria are
not too numerous they are gradually de-
stroyed and the patient RECEIVERS.
Sometimes, however, the white cor
puscleS refuse TO eat up the bacteria.
They do not seem TO find them appetz-
ing, and the germs then 60 on multiply
ing and pouring out their poiSons into the
blood, and the patient is in for a severe
and possibly fatal illness. The bacteria
themselves are appetizing to the white
corpuScleS, but when they are very virI-
lent or in too great numbers, the poison
they excrete renders them unattractive.
Now If the unattractive features can be
suppressed, the white corpuScles will
be stimulated to renewed attack. This is
brought about by taking some OF the oac-
terra from the patients Secretions and
cultivating them outside the body until a
great number-many millions-iS obtain
ed. They are then killed by heat and in
iected into the patient.
Being dead, they do no harm, but the
chemical substance, whatever it iS,-it is
called opSonin,-which attracts the white
corpuscleS is still present and active, and
present in such large amount that il rem
ders appetizing not only the dead bacteria
injected, but also the live ones which are
doing the harm.
In certain diseases the bacteria are
much alike, so that so-called "Stock
vaccine" has been prepared by the drug
manufacturers. But it is found that the
bacteria in each have usually certain
characteristics peculiar to themselves, so
that the opsonin prepared from the pa
tents own secredons is usually more ef-
ficaciouS.

The Age of Electricity.

Mr.. Edison and his associates lately
celebrated the thirtieth anniversary Of one
OF the most important inventions the
world has ever known-the incandescent
electric light.
The field of electric research and in
vention may almost be said TO be contem-
poraneous with the present generation.
Men not yet old can remember when the
first arcslights appeared, and what Won
der they were; and the incandeScent
light was Of later creation. One thing has
followed another so rapidly, indeed, that
the real marvel of electric development
has hardly been realized by the genera
ton which has witnessed it.
In the public lighting-Stations OF the
United States upward Of forty thousand
persons are now employed. at wages
which aggregate more than thirty million
dollars, and il is estimated that one hun
dred thousand private plants employ thir-
ty-five thousand more, at wages which
total about seventeen millions.
Even this, however, represents but one
department OF the field of electrical in
dustry as it is today. The lightng-sta-
tionS are dependent upon factories where
thousands of other persons are employed.
The making Of poles, both iron and wood,
the manufacture of porcelain, wire, glass,
rubber, mica, and many other things is
enormously stimulated by this industry,
which was not in existence generation
ago.
The development Of the electric rail-
way, the telephone, and the transmission
of power for all sorts of purposes from
distant waterfalls are among the marvels
OF the present electrical age; and wire
less teIegraphy is SO recent that il has not
yet ceased TO attract the curiosity which
is always bestowed upon the latestscien-
tific wonder.
In all this work the United States has
been a leader. Not only are the most i'm
portant electrical inventions TO be credited
to this country, but the volume OF electri-
cal manufactures and export is greater
than that of any other nation.

MYSTERIOUS knowledge.

Some years ago an expedition from the
University OF Pennsylvania was sent to
one of our Southern States for the purpose
of observing solar eclipse.
The day before the event one OF the
professors said to an old colored man be-
longing to the household wherein the
scientist was quartered:
"Tom, if you will watch your chickens
tomorrow morning you'll find that they'll
all 90 to roost at II O'Clock"
Tom was, of course, skeptical; but at
the appointed hour the heavens were
darkened and the chickens retired to roost.
AT this the mans amazement showed no
bounds and he sought out the scientist.
Professor" said he, chow long ago
did you know dem chickens would go to
roost 2"
"About a year ago. said the Professor,
smilingly.
"Well, eff dat don't beat aIl!'' was the
mans comment. Professor, year ago
dem chickens want even hatched."

Kissing.

Under the rule OF the Puritans in former
days. pleasure was frowned upon as
snare of evil, and the world was called
upon to eschew il under pain of Spiritual
condemnation. To-day the PuritanS have
passed, but another band of mentors has
arisen, still warning the nations against
many things, but this time under threat OF
temporal punishment.
These are the preachers of sanitation
andpreventive medicine, who would have
men walk the narrow path of hygienic
righteousness. These are even harder
masters than their spiritual forbears, for
they will not let us be dirty, they will not
LET us eat too much, they will not let us
live in stuffy houses, with doors and Will
dows doubly sealed against trickle of
fresh air, and now they are even lifting
their voices against the world-old custom
of kissing.
The worst of it is, they are right, at
least in general way; for kissing, in its
modern promiScuity, is pernicious, and
should be condemned as dangerous
The custom probably had its origin,
not in affection, but in suspicion. In
primitive times, when the sense OF smell
was perhaps more acute than that ofsight,
bringing the faces together was means
of Identification, and of distinguishing
friend from foe. We have now other bet
ter developed senses, psychic and phys
ical, which tell us of friendship, and kiss
ing has become mark OF affection rather
than test of it.
II is not against this that the hygieniSt
the sensible one-proteSts, but againSl
the meaningless and dangerous habit OF
pecking at the lips Of every one, especial
ly OF the defenseleSS infant. II is really
an affront for stranger, or even an ordi-
nary friend, TO kiss baby on the lips,
and the act should be resented.
Kissing among members Of the family
is hygienically permissible, fortunately.
1t is, OF course, through the transmission
of bacteria that kissing is harmful. But
each family has its own domesticated bac-
terra, as it were, of the same species as
those inhabiting other people, but some
what modified by constant interchange.
Against these each member of the family
is IN measure immune. They are like
an ill-natured pet dog that respects the
members of the household with which he
lives, and will not bite them, but snaps
and snarS at strangers.
Kissing should, therefore, be family
greeting; for strangers or ordinary friends
the hand-shake suffices. Above all, the
baby's lips should be sacred.

True In Both Cases.

The little son of most upright and re-
Spected head of an educational institution
not many miles from Boston one night
prayed at his aStoniShed mothers knee
that papa might not come home drunk
that evening" AS the gentleman in ques-
ton was most exemplary in his habits, he
must have had, on hearing of the petition
in his behalf, somewhat the same senSa-
tions ds those experienced by the captain
in Mr.. Charles E. Trow's book, "The Old
ShipmasterS Of Salem"
The captain, on one voyage, had first
mate who was addicted TO drink. While
in port in China this officer got sadly in
toxicated, and was not able to make up
the day'slog. The captain did it for him.
Never touching liquor himself, and being
greatly disturbed over the affair, he add
ed to the record the sentence, "Mate drunk
all day."
When the officer recovered sufficiently
to resume his duties with the log, he was
appalled,.
"Cap'n," he exclaimed, "why did you
put down that | was drunk all day ?"
at was true, wasn't it ?"
Eyes, but what will the owners say?
II will hurt me with them. Why need
you have done it ?"
But all the captain would respond was,
at was true, wasn't it ?"
The next day, when the captain ex-
amined the log, down after the entries Of
observation, wind, course, tides, and so
forth, he saw, Captain sober all day."
In high dudgeon he rushed TO the deck.
"What do you mean, you rascal" he
shouted to the first mate, "by writing in
the log that was sober all day ?"
at was true, wasn't it?" replied the
mate.
"True ? OF course it was true You
know never touch liquor. OF course it
was true p
And then the joke dawned upon the
captain, and he had the good sense to
laugh.

That, whitening. beckons from your tomb

To waste in one December snow
When waiting ripeness bids you grow2
Nay, what can mean the wondrous germ
That saves an herb IFS tWofold term
But in the realm OF sprout and blade
A double lifetime marks its grader
And shall eartt's highest being know
In death one privilege below
The clover in its pampered mold
Or mullen on the sandy void?

To wait his bloom while seasons sweep
Their circle TO grander goal,
The perfect summer OF his soul.

Its noblest breed TO endless dust
Nor, enviouS, silence or disguise
The Voice that bids Gods image rise.
