woman whom all these unfor

rvKAU kind lady," e-alil a nice man
II the other day, "1 do wish you'd
warn Inoffensive and well
meaning mankind regarding a subject
which has caused me much mental an
guish, to quote a divorce application. I
shouldn't say anything about it but
really 1 think other fellows who have
not had the same sad experience may
piofit a little bj mine.
"The warning I have to utter is this:
Whenever jou feel an impulse to do a
kind act j don't do It, I'll specify. The
other day I was in an open car and
In the next .eat in front was a girl
with an open work dress on, that is
she had one of those lacy tilings over
her neck and aims that might as well
have been nothing the lace might. I
mean. Naturally 1 looked at her, that
was why she wore the buy things of
course and about the time I began
to look a iueer kind of a bug every
thing to me U a bug ex opt a mosquito.
In that case I'm like the I'ngllsh guaid
on the tialn, who was called upon to
dec ide as to the animals to be ad
mitted to the baggage compartment.
"Dugs is dogs,' said this personage seri
ously, 'and cats Is dogs, but a tinkle
Is an Insect.'so to me all the other
six-legged creatures are bugs. I sus
peet 1 should call them beetles but I
don't, they're plain bugs.
This one wasn't so plain, however.
He had guady green stilpcs down his
baik and nioie eyes than fall to the
lot of a plain hug. He was having a
beautiful time exploring the pattern
of that girl's lace across her shoulders.
Once In a while he'd slip off the cros
sing and put a scratch looking fore
foot on tho girl's llesh. Then she'd
squirm n little but she didn't know the
bug was there and ho liked the situ
ation. Nobody could blame him of
course. I felt that It was my duty to
knock him off. I tried to do it and he
grabbed fast with his two fiont feet
and kicked up the lest of them In
derision. 1 brushed harder, and the
gill-turned louud and glared at me,
and looked as If she wanted to call the
police. I tried to explain and just
then another friend of the (list bug
alighted on her back and began picking
his way across ptecarlously. Involun
talrly. I bundled him orf ton, and
touched her shoulder again. Then she
stood up and lemarked vociferously,
"What aie you tiylng to do, sir? Don't
ou dine to put your aim around me."
"No, I don't," I answered timidly,
and then with more determination, "i
don't want to, 1 assuie you but theie
weie bugs'." even that didn't mollify
the young woman but secined to en
lago her still more, as I continued. 'I'm
sure I beg your pardon. If 1 saw u
taiaiitula and four centipedes crawling
on that holey dress of yours I shouldn't
move a linger to prevent them," and
then she began to apologize Just as I
reached my corner."
"So now" added the speaker, "I want
to say that you don't get thanked lor
telling women that there's anything
wrong about their make up. They'd
rather bieak their necks on a yatd of
braid hanging fiom their skirts than to
be Informed of Its piesence. They
don't like to have you tell 'em when
their di esses don't see In the back or
when their shoes ate untied. Why If
you'd tell a man that his tie was
climbing up In the back or that a
pi Ice mark was still clinging to tho
left shoulder of his coat (tho most em
harassing thing In the world, you know)
he'd almost fnll on your neck with
Kiatitude, but women, they'io queer as
the deiae."
"Yes women aro queer," paid tho
post uillic man. Ho didn't know any
thing about tho iclevancy of his re
maiks aw compared to the other pel sou
quo'tcd above, but ho had his views of
queeincss. After all Its only a matter
of tho point of vlev.
The Jiost oflluo man's point of view
was this, "the women, they tonio In
and buy one stamp. Yea sir, you'll
see fifty women In a foienoou and not
inoiu than two of them will buy nunc
than oho stamp apiece." "One two
plraRe!" that's what they all say, put
ting down their dlnty little coppern.
Why whenever I Bee a woman coming, I
nlways get ono Mamp ready for 1 can
tell what she'll say. "Ono two please."
They make me tired.
"Now what I want to know Is why
women buy one stamp at a time, nnd
no more. We've, often talked It over.
The girls In the ofllce ay U'h probably
because they seldom have much money
to waste recklessly on stamps Htid de
pend rather upon masculine members
of the family for their postage. Dave
says It because they'io used to buying
little bits of tilings, n spool of tluead,
k paper of pins and that they buy only
for tho letter they're going to mall
that minute. A man doesn't often buy
ono stamp. Ho starts to do It, but
generally weakens, and ends by laying
down a dime. Ho has a foolish sort
of shaiiio nbotit little purchases. I
know a fellow who was told by hi
wife to get thico-quat lets of a pound
of veal loaf and have It sent up. He
bought four pounds all they had
at the market, nnd when he found his
wife almost In tears over tho quantity
of meat which it would be impossible
to use, he lemarked with dignity, "do
you think I'd nsk them to send tip three
quarters of a pound of anything'.' Not
if I know It."
"My opinion nbout women and
stamps," added the postofllce ninn
with impresslvoness, "Is that she buys
only one at a time so that she may
have an excise to come down town
oncner.
Such a clever man wasn't he?

MUSICAL GOSSIP.
The Tribune has received a copy of
the new piospectus of the Scranton
Conservatory of aiusle for the reason
of 1901-1WL'. It Is piofuscly illustrated,
and Is filled with concise, well-wiltten
Infoi mutton, which will be of special In
terest to all who aie Intel ested In piano
playing a very huge public, indeed.
The advice to parents Is timely and
helpful, and the announcement of an
"Artist Iterltal Couise," specially
planned for the Conervntory students,
Ih along Ihe line of a piogresslve musi
cal Institution.
The new catalogue Is In Itself a suf
ficient proof of the frequent assertions
which The Tribune has made to the
powerful ltilluencc which the Conserva
tory has- nlways exerted since Its
founding, five years ago, In promoting
a healthy musical atmopheio In this
city.

About Tuberculosis in Man and

TIIWKS to nn authcnlli' cable report of the
lecture delivered by I'mfessur Itudolpli
Koch, the dlseoveier of th" lubeitiilo bacillus,
before the 1 uhen nlosln lormress in 1unioii on
.lulv SI, In tho Vcw York Slaats .filling, I am
enabled to give the readers of the Salad no early
nn account of 1 1lls most important ami In its
effects far reaildiiu disiovery in inedlilne and
h)Blene.
Alter having been Intioluced to the iiingiess
by bold LbtLr, the cclr'iri"il professor of sur
gery In (lla-.gow, Siotlaml, and the discoverer
Jnd pioneer of modem ai.tlseptic. aurgerj, Pr.
Koch, In his nusnillL-nt but rather lengthy
lecture, mule the following ImpoiUnt stale.
menta, yt. : That In Ihe i nurse of his experi
ments he had atrlvcd nt the eleliiiite nnd certa'n
conclusions, that tuberculnsls In man Is nn in
tlrel) elllTeiiiit clbene froai liibcnulosls In tat
tle, and further that he hail ilratlv demon
strated, that human tuberculoids could not be
transmitted to tattle and n!o that the (attic
tnhc-ctilosls (null) not be c-omumiiliated to nun.
Profeasor Koih aln salel ntal cintilnUed tint,
owing to this Itnmunlty of man toward the tat
tle tuberculosis, tuberculous di-c.ne could not
he caused in man by a tiansmission of disease
germs fiom the tattle tlnniigii milk or butter,
ami that therefore the -otlt ami ctcniie pre
tautloiiary measures ol milk Inspcttioii with a
lcw to prevent the dissemination nl tiibrreulnsls
In a coiimuuilly tiirougli milk or butler limn
diseased tattle was useless nnd tltogfther un
netesairy. In coiif-luslin he said that Id eipcn
infills hail also pi oven without a doubt tint Ihi;
dise.icwascoiiimuiiic.iteil from man toinin ihl"fs
ly through the espectoratlons and other sicrrtions
of tiiberriiler pitlents nml he therefore adincatret
the isolation of all such pal lints to prevent
infection of others,
Startling and unexpetted a this may seem to
inot of the meinliers of the medical profession
and the lalt), it i b.eed upon the solid
foundation of scientific ieearcli, nnd therefore
If5 corretlness rmnot be doubted, coining os
it does fiom a nun like Piofcs-or Koth. And
yet there hue been quite a number of inde
pendent thinkers nmong the pathologists and in
the medical profession like Dr. lant, pro
fessor of bacteriologv nt Harvard, ni.iself ami
many others who lave fiom the beginning been
skeptical nbout tho hlentlt) of tattle and human
