Yellow Fewer Germ.

The theory that mosquitoes convey
the disease known as yellow fever
is many years old, but 1t was not I'm.
It'll the year 1895 that 1t was proven
to be true. During that year Major
Ronald Ross, working in India along
the lines Of Sir Patrick Manson's the.
DRY, demonstrated that mosquitoes OF
the genus called anopheles clarifer
conveyed the disease. In 1898 ex.
periments in Cuba and other parts OF
the world established a similar con.
clusion. 1t is in consequence Of this
discovery that the dread disease Is
now being 30 largely checked in the
countries where It has hitherto been
SO destructive OF human life.

ROMANCE
Auction of Old Michigan Court
house Brings Up Odd Story.
Building at 8errlen Springs Once
Owned by a Young Widow Who Was
Weed and Won by a chlcagoan
in an Odd Place.

Berrien Springs, Mich.-The old
Berrien county courthouse at Berrien
Springs, Mich, connected with which
there is an unusual Chicago romance,
has been advertised to be sold under
the hammer, in order to satisfy an in
~debtedness that has been hanging over
It for some time.
A Chicago minister named Flavius
]. Probst once married into the pos
session of this historic structure,
which was erected In the early sos,
and which at one time was n of the
most extensive marrying places In the,
middle west.
After the county seat was moved
from Berrien Springs to st. Joseph the
courthouse and the Jail came into the
possession Of Mrs. Julia Allen, a pref
" young widow Of the former county
seat. She became a member Of q,
party invited to go through n of
the big Chicago water tunnels, and on
his trip, SO the story goes, she met
Mr.. Probst, and before either OF them
had again saw daylight they had fall,
en- In love with each other, he pro-
posed and she accepted. They were
subsequently married, and took up
their abode in the Jail section of the
Did county courthouse, where they
spent their honeymoon and lived hap
PLY for some time.
Then came a ripple in this odd sea
Of matrimony. The wife set up the
claim that her husband had hypnot-
lied her into deciding him the court
house property, and there vas a suit
TO set aside the transfer. This suit
nung in the courts for some years.,
and it had many of the angles of the
famous Jarndyce VS.. Jarndyce case in
Dickens BLEAK House," and people
began to say that there wasn't much
chance for Mrs. Probst getting judg-
ment until the day of judgment or UNI
til the old courthouse had rotted away
from the ravages of time. But a son
Of Mrs. Probst by her first marriage
ultimately effected a settlement, and
again the building passed back to the
ownership of Mrs. Probst.
Berrien Springs at the time the old
courthouse was housing the govern
mental business of Berrien county en-

of crude rubber comes from the repub-

little attention to the manufacture of

Crocodile In a Tree.

An African hunter once found a
large crocodile hanging In the fork of
tree about ten feet from the ground.
AS the place was fully half mile from
any water, it was difficult to account
for the crocodile's strange position.
When questioned upon the subject the
natives explained that 1t was put there
by an elephant 1t seems that when
the elephants wade into the Lake
Ngami to battle the crocodiles are in
the habit of worrying them and biting
their legs. Sometimes when an ele-
plant is annoyed beyond endurances
1t picks up its tormentor in its trunk,
puts 1t among the branches of a tree
and leaves 1t there.

The tongue Is moistened by the

saliva from the salivary glands The
mucous Of the mouth is controlled by
the nervous system and can be great

is why when we are very much wor-

mouths become so dry we can hardly

The surface OF the tongue is close

one of these points is the end of a
nerve of taste that runs from the
brain to the tongue. These little
points are called taste bulbs, and
they are most abundant on the sides
and the tip Of the tongue. They are
fewer on the back Of the tongue, be

Discounted bully Certainly Gave Als
Adversary What Might BE Called
Fair and Proper Warning.

Many Of the best Pennsylvania
stories come from the lumber camps.
This bit OF rough-and.ready history
was told In a hotel lobby by visitor
to philadelphia from the great West
Branch valley Of the SusQuehanna:
Paddy Wood was the porter at the
Ginricky house in my town. He was
mark for mischievous boys who
found that he would chase them IL
properly baited. He had a board
about Ave feet long which he prom
Used to use on his tormentors, thus
adding to the spice of danger to
the sport
"One summer evening Paddy Wood
sat on bench in front of the tavern,
his board leaning within easy reach
against the building. Paddy Plank, a
swaggering woodsman, with numerous
raw or natural WHISTLES under his
belt, hove in sight. He stopped in
the road, fumbled for his woodstock
pipe for several minutes and was a
longer time lighting it. The wood
stock pipe was a cavalier affair usu-
ally smoked with the bowl turned
down by men who affected bravado.
1t was not the pipe of peace. however.
for the moment Paddy Plank's orbs
sighted Paddy Wood he discovered
that his system craved a little Kill
kenny fun and he began to hand
Paddy Wood some choice compli-
ments, such as are usually set afoat
when one is looking for trouble.
Paddy Wood deliberately arose
from the bench, picked up his board
and smote Paddy Plank on the jaw,
knocking his pipe across the lot, the
sparks from which described an arc
of fire like a rocket.
Surprised at the speed of Paddy
Woods responsible didn't expect it
by wire-and seeing his disadvantage,
he started to run, with Paddy Wood
trying to lift him off his feet with
every jump.
"As soon as he reached a safe dis
lance from his pursuer, Paddy Plank
turned around and uttered this piece
of defiance:
'Kape away from me! Kape away
from mel or you will have your
hearts blood on me hands!'"
