A TRIP TO EUROPE.

One of the mistakes of Congress
that expired on March was the pro-
vision for an expenditure of several
thousand dollars upon commission to
spend 80 days in Europe this spring

unions and similar organizations. OF
course, trip to Europe at government
expense is pleasure, but the amount
of information of the slightest value
to the people of this country that the
commission may obtain in that way
must necessarily be largely a dupli-
cation of the material available in this
country and accessible in short walk
in Washington or in an expenditure OF
few cents for postage.-( Manufac

HOW sARBED-WIRE FENCES

The following is taken from the cur

"A doctor holds a post-mortem on a
badly infected subject His knife or

Bloodpoison and death ensue. A tu-
berculos COW is stung by an insect.
She goes to the barbed-wire fence
and scratches the itching spot, breaks
the skin and leaves infected blood on
the barbs which dries, but the germs
remain dormant waiting for perhaps
a healthy COW to come along; and
she does, and scratches, and automati-
cally inoculates her blood with the tu-
berculosis germ.
This isn't theory. Any surgeon or
bacteriologist will o. X. all the above
as to germ-transference.

It was amazing to me to sec the cX- tent to which the pilgrims sought in Jerusalem tokens for the clothing of their dead bodies, and how much their thoughts were centered on death and the final resurrection morning. They sanctificd crosses at the Grave: little ones to wear round their nccks and larger ones t. lie on their breasts; they brought their death shroUds and cross embroidered caps to dip them in Jordan; they took Jerusalem earth to put in their collins, and even had their arms tattooed with the word Jerusalem and with pictures of the Virgin. so that they might lie SO marked in the grave. and indeed that they might rise again so marked and show it in heaven. By these things they felt they obtained sort of sanctity.
 The going to Jordan was essentially something done against the Last Day. It was very touching that on the day before the caravan set out the peas ants cut linen to the shape of the Stone of the Anointing which stands outside of ScpuIcher. and placed that linen with their dcath-=hrouds on that stone for blessing. feeling that they were doing for their lead bodies just what Mary and St. Joseph of Arima- thea did for the body of Jesus and upon the same stone. They felt it would be particularly good to rise from death in shrouds thus sanctificd. Stephen Graham, in Harpcrs for August
