"Wipe out typhoid by killing the germs contained in the discharges of the patient before they leave the sick room to lay other fellow being* low %lth this disease. Such are the in structions that Health Commissioner Bamuel O Dixon gives in his new cir cular on typhoid fever addressed to uurs«-* and attendants In charge of persona suffering from this infectious icalady "I want to send that message ring ing through the whole state." said H«alth Commissioner Dixon the other day I want to get every local Board of Health to see that In every home wbeie there is a person ill with ty phoid fever, the phyaician, the nurse oi attendant shall be impressed with the duty of lettiug no iufection from their pailent be the cause of giving the dlseus.. 10 another, aud the way to go this first of all is to kill the germs pt the disease that comes from the pa tient before th»-se germs leave the sick tootu I am determined that the ap palling harvest that typhoid is reaping in Pennsylvania shall be cut down.

In his typhoid circular Health Com missioner Dixon sets forth simple methods of killing the typhoid germs before they are carried out of the sick room Secure any of the following disinfect ants Kreolin Lysol, Tri-Kresol, Chlo rinated Lime (chloride of lime or bleaching powder i. or a 40 per cent, so lution of Formaldehyde, which is pre terred Make up disinfectant solutions from the above by adding thr»-e teaspoonfuls of Kreolin. Lysol or Tri-Kresol or eight teaspoonfuls of the 40 per cent, solu tion of Formaldehyde to a pint of wa ter. or one-haJf pound of Chlorinated Lime to one gailon of water. Keep constantly in the bed-pan, urinal, chamber or commode or vessel Intended to receive the discharges from the bowsls or bladder, a moderate quantity of the disinfectant solution selected, and after receiving the dis chargee add a quantity to equal the amount of the discharges. Cover and remove the vessel and al io* the contents to stand for one hour b*fore emptying the same. Nev®r empty the discharges upon the eurfac« of the ground, or into a stream. e*ep though disinfected. If the discharges are emptied into a water closet or privy they must be tho*ouahlv disinfected first. They must nevsr be buried until after being thor oughly disinfected, and then never less than one foot deep nor within one hun dred feet of a well or water course. If a privy well Is used, empty three gallons of any of the disinfectant so lutions Into It daily.

Much is made of the legends and bia tory of the quaint mediaeval town of Ilotlienburg, as is natural where they lay mi milch stress on their past glo ries, says tin- Metropolitan Magazine. The shop windows are full of big glass cups with painted figures of the em peror. the seven electors and other worthies (souvenirs for the unwary tourist), and in some of the decora tions of inns and wine rooms a man is pictured drinking out of such a cup, accompanied by verses alluding to a (Jeorg Nu sell and to a Melster-Trunk. We wondered about It till we found a local guide book with the explana tion. It seems this Nust;h by his fa mous drink saved the town several cen turies ag >. He was a senator and a son of the innkeeper of the Rother Hahn (Ued Cock>, which is still stand ing a little way down the street here. Many of the inns are hundreds of years okl and are run under the same names they have always borne. Well, during the wars of the reformation this was a Protestant town and was besieged and taken by Tilly after a spirited resistance. lie entered the place fol lowed by his train and proceeded to the Ratlins, where the burgermelster and the senators were assembled, and in the barbarous style of those days ordered that they all lie beheaded. Then there was such wailing and en treaties from the wives and children and townspeople that he finally said lie would be content with the death of four, but the rest would not listen to this and said all of them or none, or something to that effect, and the bur germeister was sent off to get the ex ecutioner. At length, when everything was In a great uproar, Tilly called for drinks, and a trembling barmaid brought him a great stirrup cup of Tauber wine. He drank from It and passed it 011 to some of his men, and Btill it wasn't emptied when suddenly struck by Its size and being in a bet ter humor from the wine he said !n Jest: "If any man of you can empty tbla full cup at one draft I will show mercy and spare the town." At tills all the people stood and star ed, not one daring to undertake It (the cup held three quarts) until Nusch, thinking that would at least be the pleasanter death and probably used to drinking a great deal, said he would try It. Everybody was breathless with suspense, fearing he would give out before emptying the cup, but on and 011 he went till the last drop was drain ed. He had only strength enough left to hand the cup to Tilly and say, "Thy promise." when he fell fainting to the ground. He recovered in a few days, however, and lived to be eighty. And Tilly kept ills word. Tl»t> First Submarine Hoats. lu 1G44 Van Drebbel, a Dutchman, built lu London a submarine boat which could contain twelve rowers as well as some passengers, and on one occasion .Tames I. descended beneath the Thaincs In tin- vessel. The Inventor Is said to have discovered a liquid pos sessing the important property of ren dering the air in the confined space un der hatches suitable for repeated in halation and thus to prolong the time which could be spent under water. The first submarine boat used In warfare, 1777, was built by I»avid Bushneil In Connecticut. It was managed by one man, who could remain thirty minutes under water. Fulton, a New Yorker, made one to hold eight men. who could be supplied with air for eight hours under water. A MIRACLE OF NATURE. The WoudiTful Groirtli of the Ant ler* of the Wapiti. Wapiti antler growth is one of the miracles of nature that we never cease to consider a miracle. About the end of winter that is in mid March -the ant lers of the year before break off flush with tlieii base an inch or more übo\e the skull. I suaKy they are 112 mud close together, showing that they Tell nearly ut tiie sr. me time. At first the place of each antler Is a brond raw spot. In a few* days It ■hows a thirk rounded pad or blood gorged skin This swells rapidly, and In a fortnight the great bulbous fuzzy horn beginning has shot up to a height of several inches. At exactly the right time, place and In Just the right direc tion a hump comes forth to lie the foun dation of th«- brow tine. In a few more days the bez tine Is projected by the Invisible architect. In a month the structure is nearly a foot high aud all enveloped In a turgid mass of feverish, throbbing blood vessels the scaffolding ami workmen of this surprising struc ture Nigtit and day the work is push ed with astounding speed, and lu four months this skyscraper Is finished, a wonderful structure Indeed, for a score of nature's fort es have toiled, a myriad of Invisible workmen have done their part, aud an edifice that, according to ordinary rules, should have taken a lifetime is here rushed through In a summer and all lu absolute silence. August s.-es the building done, but it Is stlli cluttered with scaffolding. Tho Buppli<*s of Idood at the base are re duced and finally discontinued. Tho antler is no longer in vital touch with the animal. It begins to die. The sen sitiveness leaves each part, the velvet covering soon dies, cracks and peels, and the stag assists the process of clearing off the skin by scraping his boms on the brushwood September sees iiini fully armed In his spears of dead bone, strong in body, glorying In his weapons and his strength and ready to Kittle with all comers.

THREE SPECiES OF MOOSE. 1 tie) \n* Jin* Curopeau, the Kamtern Americuii «::i 1 the \l:t»knu. There are su; posed to be three spe cies dI moose the European moose or elk, fiiund in northern Europe and ad joining pans of Asia; the common moo-.e of eastern America, dlstingulsh ; ed chit tly from its European congener by tiie skull being narrowed across the uiaxiliaries, also by its greater size and i uurlxk' e )!or. and the Alaskan uioose, : sep;!iaie | by its giant stature, its nar j row occiput, broad palate and heavy • mandibles. Expressed in external features as Il lustrate 1 in the adult male (always ; best for differentiating species): The .Scandinavian elk is a small gray animal with little palm and many i spikes on its antlers. The Canadian Is a large black anl \ n.al with much palniation and always a separate brow bunch of spikes. I | have seen hundreds of Canadian moose | millers, but never a pair that did not i show .i \veil developed saturate group j of prongs in front of 7-aeh brow. I I have seen a score or more of Swedish I elk. but never s:ivv one that did have a j separate brow group of prongs, though I confess 1 have seen figures of such. The Alaskan is a richly colored black, gnu mid b.mvn giant, nut only tho lar gest deer alive today, hut believed to be the largest that ever did exist, since no fossil has been found to equal It In bulk. Its antlers differ chiefly in size from those of tlie <'nitadian moose, but Madison fJrant claims that they are also more complex and have In the brow antlers a .second yalmatiou which is set at right augles to that of the aiahi ;>:'!:nation In these peculiarities lie tin Is ••!• startling resemblance is sho«\n to the extinct cervalees, a moose-like deer of pleistocene times, probably ancestral to the genus alces. "If this resemblance indicates any close relationship, we have In the Alas kan moose a survivor of the archaic type from which the true moose and Scandinavian elk have somewhat de generated."—Ernest Thompson Seton hi Sertbuer's. CunrHtff. The greater part of the courage that is needed in the v.'orld is not of a he roic kind t'ottrage may be displayed In everyday life as well as in historic fields of action. There needs, for ex ample, the common courage to be hon est, the courage to resist temptation, the courage to speak tho truth, the courage to lie what we really are and not lo pretend to be what we are not, the courage to live honestly within our own means and not dishonestly upon the means of oihors. Smiles Indian Oft*««» Serpent*. Among the most venomous serpents In the world are the marine snakes of the Indian ocean. They are the dread of fishermen, and it sometimes hap pens that vessels are obliged to thread their cables through barrels to pre vent the reptiles from swarming on board. tJreat numbers of them may often lie seen floating on the surface of the water as if asleep. They are tierce and will commonly attack human beings without provoca tloji POINTED PAHAGRAPHS. How hard a man falls after having '•ecu boosted 100 high! When a man gets the baby to sleep, how proud he is of himself! There is usually enough humiliation in ail our li>« s to keep us modest. It is not the stingy man who be comes a burden as age approaches; It is the s|iend(hrift. A pathetic admission older people of ten make is. "The romance has all been knocked out of me."

Qz=z=— Throughout the block It was known that Mrs. McGinnis was as unsociable as she was thrifty. While the other wo men leaned from the windows of the tenement and gossiped or hung cloUies across the court and quarreled over the length of line, Mrs. McGinnls went quietly about her own business with out a word to any of them. Indeed, some of her neighbors looked at her with awe, for in a tenement where everything is known the news soon spread that Mrs. McGinnls went out hy the day to wash for people who moved in high circles of society. Life went very cheerfully for Mrs. McGinnls. She had many things to be thankful for. Her two rooms were as neat as energy and soap could make them, her husband was sober and in dustrious, and they were putting away a tidy bit in the bank eacli month. She was thankful, too, that there were no little McGinnlses to be "pothering" about and mussing up the kitchen. She was not fond of children. When any of the little red headed O'Shaunessys, who lived across the hall, were particularly clamorous Mrs. McGinnis was wont to remark that she was glad she had none of"the loikes of them" to stay at home and take care of. As It was, she set off blithely each morning with her scrubbing dress done up in a bundle and carried under her arm. Sometimes, through the generosi ty of her employers, she would return with a much larger bundle. Such occa sions were gala nights, and Mrs. Mc- Ginnls could hardly wait to get home and open the wrappings on the kitchen table. There would be cuffs and socks and trousers as good as new for Mr. McGinnls, and such waists and skirts for herself that she was able to set the styles for the whole neighborhood. Her only near rival in this was Mrs. O'Shauuessy, who appeared one Sun day in a red plush hat nodding with green plumes. The following week Mrs. McGinnls went to church in a pink satin waist that had once been the bodice of a reception gown. It was elaborately trimmed with chiffon and artificial rosebuds and had elbow sleeves which displayed Mrs. McGin nis' muscular arms, ruddy from much contact with strong suds. Yet if there was anything ludicrous In the picture she presented she was entirely uncon scious of It, and the gorgeousness of her apparel settled her supremacy as a leader of fashion. But the feud between herself and Mrs. O'Shaunessy still continued. Mrs. O'Shauuessy used to strut up the aisle "for all the wurruld like an owld hen" with her numerous progeny trailing behind her, and she would shoot a glance over her shoulder at Mrs. Mc- Ginnis. Were not large families Just as stylish as pink satin waists? One evening Mrs. McGinnis came home with a larger bundle than usual. "Shure, It's a whole new wardrobe we'll be having," she said breathlessly. "I'm that excited I can hardly cut the strings! Here's waistcoats for ye, Pat, and some neckties and a foiue silk hat. Faix, you'll look loike the mayor him self In it! And here's a dress for me. Silk lined it Is too! Oh, It's myself that will make a fine rustle when I pass that O'Shaunessy woman! And maybe there's a waist togo with it!" "Is it this ye mean?" said I'at, and held up something that neither of them had noticed—a small black velvet suit with lace cuffs and a wide lace collar. There were little black silk stockings, too, and patent leather slippers with gilt buckles. Mrs. McGinnis looked at the outfit speechlessly. "Ye might sell it," said her husband. "Indaid, and I'll not," said Mrs. Mc- Ginnis. "Ye can give it to Mrs. O'Shaunessy, then," hazarded Pat. " 'Twill fit one of her youngsters." "Is It out of your mind you are?" cried Mrs. McGinnis. "To think I'd be giving this suit to the loikes of them! What would her red headed spalpeens be doing with a lace collar and cuffs, I'd lolke to know?" And Mrs. McGin nis snorted indignantly. To her mind these clothes were meant for a prince ling, and none but a princeling should wear them. That night, as she lay sleepless, she was haunted by visions of a little fig ure In a black velvet suit. Now he sat by the kitchen table, his fair hair shin ing under the lamplight; now ho was walking by her side to church, so aris tocratic that none of the tribe of O'Shaunessy could hold a candle to him. Suddenly unguessed longings and tendernesses began to stir. She won dered how It would seem to have some one to cuddle in the twilight, to feel a drowsy head against her breast. It would be sweet, she thought, to wake him In the morning and see his face all warm and flushed with slumber, his curls iu a tangle about his neck. Later, when he was older, ho would goto Bchool and stand first In his class, while the little O'Shaunessys would be al ways, always at the foot. And, soothed by this pleasant reflection, Mrs. Mc- Ginnls fell asleep. Yet even her dreams were broken by the patter of tiny feet in patent leather slippers with gilt buc kles. With morning came a resolve which she did not see fit to impart to Pat, and by noon she set resolutely off on her quest, carrying a letter from the priest In one hand and dress suit case In the other. The sister at St. Mar garet's Orphan asylum was accustom ed to many startling requirements, but surely none were ever more astonish lug than Mr« McGinnis" demand for a boy I i lii a black velvet suit! As to his age or parentage Mis. McGinnis did not seem to care. So long ;rs the suit fitted that was ;ill she asked. Then followed a strenuous half hour for some of the little orphans. There were many boys of assorted sizes. There were thin boys and fat boys, dark boys and fair l»oy< intf a good fit »eemed hopeless. Mrs. McGinnls the proceedings with a trou bled eye.

"lie's that chunky he'll be bursting the seams If he moves an inch!" or again, "Begging your pardon, 'tis no bean pole I'm after wanting!" Sh<* tried two more asylums, with no better results. Despair settled down upon her. Was the surprise she had planned for Mrs. O'Sliaunessy never to be? Must she go home battled and de feated and give up sill hope of the sen sation she had planned to create? And a deeper feeling than all these tugged at her heart. The world seemed so full of children, and there was not even one for her! A sob rose in her throat as she began to fold up the velvet suit. "I'll he laving you with many thanks." sh<- said huskily to the sister in charge, -for there's not wan of them that tits the suit at all. at nil!" And j even as she spoke there appeared be fore her the vision of her last night's | dream—blue eyed and with crisp curls ' of gold—only this child was dressed In a checked gingham pinafore Instead of velvet. The child smiled engagingly at Mrs. McGinnls, who felt a great wave of , love and longing sweeping over her. , Sneh a broth of a boy! Here at last : was one who would fit not only the | velvet suit, but a niche that had long I been vacant in her heart. "What is your name, dear?" said Mrs. j MeGlnnis tenderly. "Norah," said tin- child, j It was not at all the answer Mrs. ! McGinnis had expected, and the good j woman gasped. But there was a wist ful sweetness about the child which j was not to be resisted. The love light j of awakening motherhood shone in ! Mrs. McGinnis' eyes, j '■Will you be my little gurrll, dar ' lint?" she whispered. • The night that Norah finally arrived i Pat was as delighted as his wife. He ! thought he had never seen a "prettier I little colleen." The next morning was , Sunday and the McGinnlses entered j church somewhat late. Pat in the lead, | wearing a tall silk hat and stepping I very jauntily, Mrs. McGinnis nest, moving with a notable rustle, and by I her side a beautiful little girl whose j black velvet coat, heavily trimmed I with lace, was the admiration of all be- I holders. It was a day of triumph for i Mrs. McGinnis. She beamed on the j whole world. She even beamed on Mrs. O'Sliaunessy when they met face to ■ face on the church steps. | "The top of the morning to you, Mrs. j O'Sliaunessy," quoth Mrs. McGinnis. "It's well you're looking this fine day, ; and all your family. Shure, it's a large | one, there's no denying it! But (with a glance of pride at Norah) it's myseif i that has always preferred quality to | quantity!" Gave Him IIi» Tliue. A Kentucky congressman tells an in teresting tale of the execution of a I noted desperado In that state some j years ago. .lust before the sheriff ud- I justed the noose he asked the usual I question whether the man had any i thing io say. "No, I think not," began the con l vlcted one, when he was interrupted j by a cheerful voice shouting: "Say, Bill, if you ain't got anything special to say would you mind giving me fifteen minutes of your time just to let these good people know that I am a candidate for their suffrages, | and"— j "Hold on. there!" shouted the sheriff. ! "Who's tlnit?" | "John Blank," volunteered some one, | naming a rising young politician, who has since represented his state for a number of years in the house of repre sentatives at Washington. "Who did he say it was?" whispered the condemned man to the sheriff. "They say it's John Blank." 'J thought I recognized John's voice," the desperado calmly remarked. "Well, he can have mv time, all of it, but go ahead and hang me first and let him talk afterward."—Lippincott's. Glycerin Wan Considered luelens. No commercial commodity can show a greater increase in value, pecuniary or utilitarian, than glycerin. Original ly a waste product eliminated in the manufacture of soap, candles and me dicinal plasters, a nuisance to the manufacturer and a source of obstruc tion and pollution to river and sewer, it is now largely in request in almost every branch of industry. So great is the demand that the candle and other works can no longer yield the required supply of this commodity, and we now not only manufacture it on a large scale, but import it. It is used in med icine, in the arts, iu perfumery, in the manufacture of beer, in calico print ing, in the preparation of leather and as an antiseptic. Large quantities are annually absorbed in the production of nitroglycerin, dynamite and other ex plosives. Mixed Fare For a Jury. A Maine jury had been out for some time on a case, and, as the supper hour was approaching, the presiding Justice sent an officer to Inquire if the jurors wanted their supper served in the room. It seems the jury stood 11 to 1, and the young man who was standing out against the rest of the panel au swered the sheriff's knock at the door. In reply to the message from the judge the odd juror sent the following: "You tell the judge he can send one supper for me and eleven bales of hay for the eleven jackasses that are In here with me."—Boston Ilerald. ueiu or ilie Collection.
