Infantile Paralysis Germ.

In a lengthy report 10 physicians,
the Rockefeller institute announces
the discovery Of 4 germ in the brain
and spinal cord of monkeys inoculated
with infantile paralysis. Tie organ
ism is said to be very minute, the
difficulties attending its artificial Gull
tivation and identification being 50
great that the discovery is as YET of
little value for the purpose Of early
diagnosis of suspected cases. Mon
keys inoculated with the micro-organ-
ism, developed a disease correspond

determined that the mucous mem
branes of the nose and throat Of per-
sons not sick with the disease may
become contaminated with the virus
and that without falling i'll themselves
they may become carriers Of the dis

LAUGHING LAcENAIRE.

On December IA, 1884, a gentleman
OF distinguished appearance walked
briskly along quiet street near the
Chopinette barrier, in Pay1s.
This pedestrian, who looked distln-

threadbare garments, was about thirty
five years old. He Eas rather small of
stature, but carried himself proudly.
His face was refined and intellectual

Avril still was in jail. The crimes in
which they had been concerned were
complete mysteries TO the police, and
Vt seemed that they would always re
main so, when Francois dropped a few
words which made the police suspi
cious, and they drew from him the story
Of tie attack upon the bank messen'
ger. Avril's conscience became active
about the same time, and he told OF
the Chardon murders. So il came &c
PASS that the poet was arrested, and
when he learned that the discovery
was due to his accomplices, he made
full confession. his only object, he said
being 10 take the hetrayers TO the
guillCtiae with him.
The trial was famous one. The
most celebrated people Of France
crowded 10 the courtroom TO see the
laughing Lacenaire. who was dressed
ike a prince. He laughed and jokeo
throughout the proceedings, and drove
4vril and Francois TO frenzy time
and time again by his ridicule. Upon
several occasions the guards had e
hold them. they were so anxious te
get M his throat.
Francois was sentenced 70 life i'm
prisonment, and Lacenaire and Avril
10 death. So one day in 1885 these
rwo made their last appearance II
public. Avril died first, and met HI:
fate with british calmnesS. Lacenaire

An Active OPENING.

Little Louis was smart boy and
very anxious 10 forge ahead in the
world. He got a job in the local
bank A wealthy uncle met him in
the street one morning and said:
We'll, Louis. how are you getting on

this about, but the details are not es-
sendal to this story.
Everything being in readiness, Avril
was 30 foolish as to be arrested, while
trying to rescue lady friend from the
ponce. SO, at the eleventh hour, Lace
nalre had to go forth and seek another
assistant. Reliable help of that kind
Is hard to find when most needed, but
after much trouble the poet accepted
as MS partner a gentleman named
Francois, to whom homicide was a fad.
II was said Of him, In his own haunts.
that he would kill a man for a sou,
which was cheap enough, to be sure.
Francois, however, should have
known better than to eat oranges be-
fore committing a crime. Or, if he
couldn't get along without oranges, he
should have realized that it was bad
TO drop the peel on the floor Of BUSH
ness mans Office.
At the appointed hour the baak
messenger arrived at the Office with
his little bag fairly bullying with
money, and securities. Lacenaire, the
smiling, the fascinating, asked him to
seat himself at the table and examine
certain papers. The messenger did so,
and while the poet engaged him in
conversation, and held his whole atten-
ton, Francois came up behind, dag
ger in hand, to stab him to the heart.
Francois, who had studied murder un-
der the old masters, knew how to
reach the heart from any angle or po-
sition. This looked like an easy and
sure job But, maledictions on the
orange peel! His foot slipped just as
he delivered the blow. The messenger
vas stabbed, but not mortally, or even
seriously. With a yell Of terror he
leaped for the door and reached it
first, and ran down the stairs yelling
murder. Francois also sped away,
and Lacenaire followed close at the
messengers heels, also yelling murder,
thus diverting suspicion until he
reached the street and was lost in the
crowd.

him just then, so he departed for the
provinces, where for long time he
