Inoculated Their Dolls.
Health Commissioner I'.itton v lotted
a diphtheria patient the ether day and
encountered two bright little girls o'
four and five years respectively. He
made friends with ti e tats, and be
fore leaving as a precaution he gave
each an injection of autUoxin. They
were very Inquisitive aa to the mean
Ing of all this, and flunlly Dr. Patton
explained to them that without the
antitoxin they would catch the din
ease. The next day wlitii the doUjr
visited his patient the rirt thing h
perceived upon entering hs i.ou e
was the two little gir.a eilting In t.;
middle of the room taking t'iri.s 1 1
injecting antitoxin luto their kill,
legs.
t "What are you doing that for?"
asked the doctor, somewhat astonish
ed.
"Why. we is airaid dolly will ketcj
diphtheria," replied one of the tots
and she straightway Injected another
dose of the precious fluid Into tlu
Muffed bahv.

' How Is your son James getting op
at college, Mr. Bogga?" aiked the
Pai son.
"Fine," said Bogga. "He's getting
more businesslike every day."
"I am glad to hear that," said the
clergyman. "How does the lad show
It?"
"Well," said Boggs. "when he first
went up and wanted money, he iied
to write asking for it Now he draws

I hold It true with him who sings,
to one clear harp in divers tones, that
men who'd fly, ere they have wings,
are apt to break their blooming
bones. The uirds may think it full
worth their while to soar from tree
to tree; but while I live this good old

me.

THE C:TH IN EUROPE
"Barbaric" Russia was the First to
Abolish Capital Punishment.
The revival of the guillotine In
France, the most enlightened of all
European countries, recalls the fac;
that "barbaric" Russia, of all govern
ments in the world, was the first to
abolish the death penalty.
The great Catharine was moved to
this step by reading Beccaria's cele
brated wor,;, "Criminals and Punish
mentn." Uver since the anpearauce
of that book Russia punishes even
the vile.-t of crimes with imprisonment
and buii-hmtnt only. Her bullet;
ar.d rr.ro sre exclusively for political
offenders or suspects.
Cethrtrine's example was followed,
in IV X. by a petty Italian prince. A
yec.r l .ici t'mpc-ror Joseph II. abolish
ed the dc::th penult, in Austria. It
w: 3. l.o.'.t if r, re-estabilshi d in 1795
by Fraii'-is II., In couacqueuce of the
Frei.cli Revolution.

Government did away with the death
t-enalty, and France followed suit. The
German -.tilers, when they got the up
per hind again, promptly re-establish-e:l
