BATTLES IN THE BLOOD.
Antitoxins Fight the Germs of Their
Particular Disease,
apimal has a certain dis-
produces large quantities
of the particular antitoxin that will
fight that disease. If the blood of this
animal be introduced into another ani-
mal the latter will get the disease, but
in a milder form, and will at the same
time be stimulated to secrete large
quantities of the antitoxin. It is now
capable of resisting an attack by an
army of powerful germs and becomes
“Immune” to the real disease,
If its blood be drawn and filtered to
free it from red and white corpuscles
the serum tlint is left is merely the
watery part of the blood heavily
charged with the antitoxins of that
disease. This, injected into the blood
of a person suffering from it, re-en-
forces the antitoxins already there and
speedily routs the enemy by neutraliz
ing the poisons that the toxic germs
are liberating.
Serum is prepared in two ways—one
by taking it from the blood of another
animal, the sther by a culture from
the blood of the patient himself.
There are only one or two diseases
that ean be cured by medicine. In all
others the medicine is given merely
to stimulate the natural production of
antitoxins. If we knew how to make
an antitoxin for every disease we
ghould have no more use for medicine.
The number of diseases for which
antitoxins are being discovered is mul-
tiplving year by year. — New York

FRISKY SENATE PAGES.
They Are Great Mimics and Discuss
Burlesque Legislation.
They are the greatest mimies in the
world. They can take off the idiosyn-
crasies and humorous peculiarities of
the senators to a “1.”
Sometimes when the senate is not
sitting and too many visitors and page
are not around to observe the
proceedings the pages themselves go
into a solemn senatorial session. One
will impersonate the vice president,
another the chief clerk, and so on
Various other boys will pretend to be
either their favorite senators or the
senators of home states. Each boy oc.
cupies the seat to which the real sen
ator is entitied.
Bang! goes the vice president's gavel,
and the extraordinary session of pages
bas convened. There is always an
argument as to which senator shall
be recognized when the regular order
of business is reached. Every concelv-
able current subject is discussed, with
a goodly sprinkling of “baseball legis
lation,” which always carries with it a
rider by which each page senator shall
be entitled to an annual self renewing
pass for all the season's games.
A bill which is almost sure to be
introduced is one which proposes to
increase the salaries of the pages and
shorten their hours of duty.—Robert D
Heine in Leslie's Weekly.
“FEROCIOUS DOLPHINS.
Marine Monsters That Are Known as
Whale Killers,
There really is such a sea monster
as the whale killer. It is one of the
largest and most ferocious of all the
dolphin family. It also is known as
the grampus. It is characterized as a
genus by its large size and the conical
and depressed head, devoid of a beak.
The back fin is of great length, espe
cially in the males, and the flippers are
large and broadly ovate.
The teeth are comparatively few
in number, varying from ten to thir-
teen on each side of the jaw, and are
much larger than in any dolphins yet
noticed, being often an inch or more
in diameter and having an oval sec-
tion. The coloration is striking, the
upper parts and fins being black, while
the lower jaw, chest and under parts
are whitish.
The white area of the under parts
does not, however, extend to the flukes,
but ends posteriorly in a trident, of
which the lateral and shorter prongs
extend obliquely upward on the flanks.
There is a large white streak above
and behind the eye, and frequently at
lenst a purple crescentic area extends
across the back behind the fin. The
killer attains a length of at least twen
ty feet.—8St, Louls Times.
LOBSTER AND BUTTERFLY.
Widely Apart In Appearance, They Are
Close Relatives.
You would hardly think it to look at
them, yet the lobster is a relative of
the butterfly. The kinship is not mere
ly that of two members of the animal
kingdom. The lobster and the butter-
fly are actually in one and the same
great group of the kingdom, dike the
clam and the snail or the whale and
the giraffe, whose spheres of activity
are so widely separated,
It Is simply, as Darwin pointed out
in the case of all other creatures a
great many years ago, that the lobster
and its friends, the crab, the prawn
and the shrimp, chose one method of
life, while the butterfly and its set
chose another,
So the first group developed charac.
teristics sulted to the conditions in
which it lived, including as one of the
most important, as its members do
not move rapidly, a coat of armor to
protect them from thelr innumerable
enemies, while the butterflies and the
great host of other winged insects
shed every bit of superfluous weight,
trusting to swiftness to carry them out
of danger and to protective coloring
to conceal them when flight is un-
avalling.— London Family Herald.

"Late at the Play.”
We know from Pepys and from pas. |
sages in the plays of contemporary
dramatists that the manners of thea-
ter nudiences In the restoration epoch
were not nlee, but there Is no reason
to believe that even the fops habitual.
ly arrived at the theater late. Mr.
Sparkish, Mr. Novel and their fellows
would talk loudly while the play was
going on to show the superiority of
their wit to the poet's, but they likely
were on hand early to lose none of the
fun. In later epochs of English the
atrical history theater going was a se.
rious undertaking, not a mere pastime,
One can tell from the beginnings of
old plays that the authors counted on
audiences closely attentive from the
first. Lady Randolph is the first speak-
er in “Dougins.,” Orestes in “The Dis-
tressed Mother,” Almeira in “The
Mourning Bride.” The custom of “play-
ing the audience In” with a short plece
was of stil] luter origin. Perhaps about
that time the habit of going late to the
theater became common. “Half price”
for late comers was a custom of Thack-
eray’s time.— Westminster Gazette.
Cruikshank at Eighty.
“Among the many people whose ac-
quaintance | made in Richardson's
rooms was old George Cruikshank. 1
happened Incidentally to remark that
I wasn't very well, when Cruikshank
in his genial manner exclaimed: “What?
Not well? A powerful young fellow
like you ought to be ashamed of your-
self to talk of being unwell! Here,
let me see you do this’
“He sprang up, took the tongs and
poker from the fireplace, crossed them
on the floor like two swords and then,
whistling his own air, danced a high-
land sword dance with great agility
and accuracy, keeping it up for at least
a quarter of an hour. As he threw
himself into a chair, somewhat ex
hausted by his efforts, he sald, ‘Now,
then, when I'm dead you can say you
saw old Cruikshank when he was over
eighty years of age dance the sword
dance in Dr. Richardson's room." "—

The Charm She Wore.
Many are the charms adopted by so
clety women with a graln of supersti
tion in their makeup, and one of the
most unique is that worn by a young
matron who spends much of her time
at Atlantic City. Attention being called
to her curious pendant-—a polished sab
stance set in pearls and suspended
from a slender gold chalin—s
asked what manner of stone it might
be. “Stone?’ she laughed “it's just
plain, ordinary wood. You see, I have
a most unfortunate tendency to boast
and at such times caution tells me to
knock wood Oftentimes there Is no
wood at hand, so all 1 have to do to
save myself from my rashness is to
tap my little locket. Simple, ain't It?
