KILL TYPHOID,
SAYS DR. DIXON
l)bser\e Simple Precautions and
It Is fcasy.
Cl'T DOWN 1)1;ATH HARVEST
Adrlc# to Nurses, Attendants and
Utfaers Iu the Sick Room.
"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

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. It
taa be done—it must be don» If, be
ginning today, the nurse or attendant
In charge of a typhoid fever case will
see to it that the discharges from tho
patient are thoroughly disinfected be
fore they are carried out of the room
in whl< h the typhoid victim is confined
ws can almost *ipe out typhoid lu a
year's time I realize that this Is a
big "if yet it is one of the simplest
ways in the world to blot out a dis
ease that is appallingly epidemic
throughout the whole state, if only
Met) and every person to whom this
message is directed will hear it and
heed it."
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.
Keep constant'v on hand a basin or
other ve®h<.: containing one of the so
lutions mentioned for the purpose of
wMhlng your hands
Wash your hands in the solution
immediatelv after handling the patient,
the dlsehar»:»- or any of the body
clothing
Keep lonstantly in a convenient
plate a tub or other proper vessel con
taining s siiflii lent quantity of one of
the disinfectant solutions in which to
•oak ail of the patient's lied and body
clothing
(If Chlorinated Lime Is used for this
purpott* one-half i>ound should be di
luted with eight Kallons of water.)
Place all su< h nothing In this vessel
laimedlatelv upon its removal from the
ted or body of the patient, leaving It
Id the dlslnfe- tant solution for at leaet
three hours, sft»-r which It should bs
boiled thoroughly for at least one hour.
Do not permit the use by others of
drinking vessels or eatine utensile
uaed by the patient until Ued for at
least one hour
Do not eat or permit others to eat
•• raps or remnants of food left by the
patient
Burn all such material at once.
Add a dlcinfeitant solution to all
water that has t*»en used for bathing
the patient, and dispose of it in the
manner as the body discharges.
Do not throw this water on the sur
face of the (tround.
Thoroughly disinfect all discharges
frojn the mouth and nose.
If received In vessels treat as all
other discharges
If received In handkerchiefs treat as

DRANK TO SAVE A CITY.
A I.ckciml of tlie Old Ttwi
of Hotkenliurg.
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. Ernest

There Is a queer story of a Dutch
castaway in the days when the is
land of St Helena was an unpeopled
watte lung bef >re the coming of the
great exile " tin made its name famous,
a luf' h ve* returning from the
West jnd <•<. cast anchor off its coast.
In a s(i ,rt while a l«>at was lowered
The occupants. I e<jdes the crew, were
a dead officer in a coffin and a down
cast t Mtnaii in irons This seaman fur
some offense against discipline had
been condemned to death by the cap
tain. bu in consequence of an appeal
for mercy signed by his messmates he
was ordered to be marooned on this
desolate island instead o f being hung
up to the yardarm. It is probable that
even this grace would have been de
nied him but for the dead officer, for
whose burial the ship put into harbor
The grave was dug. the officer burled.
The crew departed and the ship weigh
ed anchor The Dutchman, on his side,
lost no time He opened the new made
grave, dragged out the coffin, tumbled
his dead superior out of it and carried
It down to the shore, where, having
launched his extemporized boat, he
Jumped in in a trice, and, using the lid

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

The greater part of the courage that
is needed in the v.'orld is not of a he

In everyday life as well as in historic
fields of action. There needs, for ex
ample, the common courage to be hon

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

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

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."
What has become of the old fash
ioned woman who called her friends
"copycat" when they bought something
like hers?

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

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

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.
