Professor Gnamuri, of the University of Pisa, is of the same opinion as that published by him in 1892, viz., that the process of postnlation, both of oowpox and smallpox, is originated by a parasite "which develops in the epithelial cells. He has studied both the morphology and biology of this organism. It is capable of amoebio movements, which can be seen on ex amination of lymph taken from the initial vesicle at the temperature of the human body. By this process Professor Guamuri has also verified the multiplication of the parasite under the microscope, and the fact of phagocytosis by polynucleated, leucocytes. With a stain of gentian and methylene, the structure of this low organism may be studied. It consists of a ronndish body with a clear outline. Professor Guamuri has succeeded in reproducing the parasite in / the cornea of rabbits with inoculation of the same lymph, and he has verified the fact that no other source of irritation is capable of producing anything of the appearance of the same parasite in the cornea. Professor Guamuri believes that it is a zooparasite belonging to the class of rhizopode, and that it is the cause of both cowpox and smallpox. Why a Wile Changes Her Name* It is said that the practice of the 'Wife's assuming the husband's name at marriage originated from a Roman custom, and became the common practice after the Boman occupation. Thus, Julia and Octavia, married.to Pompey and Cicero, were called by the Bomans Julia of Pompey, and Octavia of Ciero, and in later times married women in most European countries signed their names in the same manner, but ommitted the "of." Against this view may be mentioned that during the sixteenth and even the beginning of seventeenth century the usage seems doubtful, since we see Eatherine Parr 60 signing herself after she had been twice married, and we always hear of Lady Jane Grev (not Dudley) and Arabella Stuart (not Seymour). Some persons think that the custom originated from the Scriptural teaching that husband and wife are one. It was decided in the case of Bon vs. Smith, in the reign of Elizabeth, that a woman by marriage loses her former name and legally reoeivee that of her husband.?New York Teleg am.

It was the emblem of the i mound-builder age in western'develop- j ment. Near to nature's heart indeed t were those who inhabited it. The j walls of their home touched every a land and nation. The first step in its \ erection was to shovel out the rich dark virgin earth as if for a cellar. In building no other kind of house does one begin at the top. tVhen the excavation reached a depth of four or five feet slanting rafters were thrown across, eod and dirt piled on, a chimney opening left and the residence was complete. A blanket was the first door?wooden panels came later. On Lone Prairie one such dwelling had two window panes fixed roughly in its front wall and for miles its fame as "the shack with glass eyes" 6pread, giving its owner considerable prestige and renown. Three or four steps downward led into the dugont, much as did a stairway cut in the rock conduct one to the humble dwellings of highland cot- a j tars in ancient times. Once inside a you often found a most homelike and , cozy apartment. Whitewash frequently covered the earth-walls, and F! an ample hearth and blazing fire completed a cheery picture. a Sonjetimes there was more than one a room, board or cloth partitions divid- P ing the interior. Upon the earth- 1 covering of the primitive dwelling ? many a housewife sowed the little u package of flower seeds brought with P precious care from the old New England home, and produced a veritable ? roof-garden.

' Winds shook not nor could waters ! wash away the dugout. It was as sub- n i stantial as the prairie itself, and many 01 | a plainsman risen to better things, re- 6< f tains the humble structure in which ei I he began the new life on the prairies, [ as a refuge, should a tornado threaten s< j hi6 more modern home. P | The dugout as a family dwelling is Vl ' no more. Locomotives' smoke rolls | over nearly every section of the " j cheaper, more primitive dwelling. ^ Only a herder here and there, or a ' hunting party making a long stay, 8( condescends to seek its humble pro- t( tection. Cl f The sod house was an evolution and P an advancement from the dugout. It ^ was above ground instead of below. ^ It had windows and 6hape and parti- -1 tions. In a neighborhood where dugouts were the rule, the owner of a sod ' house was an aristocrat. The dugout " has never been celebrated in song, but 0 seldom is there a western "school exhibition" or "lyceum" meeting at which is n ot rehearsed a crude favorite, 8( beginning: ;Tm looking rather seedy now. while bold- 1 ing down my claim, My vituals are not always served the best; 4 And the mice play slyly round me in my tt shanty on the claim 0 !

Slabs of the h firmly knitted grassroots, undisturbed aj for centuries, were cut two and a half cl feet long by two feet wide, and laid k< one on another as in buildings of stone. Rough window and door f tl frames were built in and sometimes a i b Vinnrrl rnnf -was afforded, thoucrh more I tl THE SOD S3 often it was poles covered with sod n and Lay. c: The sod house was the most common n first residence of immigrants.

There was g a stove, a carpet, sewing machine, c] rocking chairs, and mayhap an organ, a; paid for by close economizing in the management of the claim. ti In those early days of prairie de- h velopment school houses and even h churches were of sod, small, to be b sure, bet large enough for that gener- h ation. With added prosperity the t) sod wall has been relegated to the [ ti 6table and the tool house; but on ri many a homestead the father and ! a mother, now grown gray and care- j Y worn, look through lacehung windows b at the queer forsaken sod shanty j a * % ????? ?? standing back among the trees, an< recall, not without, regret, the happ; lays spent therein?days when heart vere young, when care was yet to d mown, when life was all before then xnd the now decaying, despised boi 10 use seemed a palace beoause it wa lome.

The land once obtained, th< jattle was, however, but begun. Th< )lainsmen called the prairie "wild,' ,nd said it must be "tamed." The] yell expressed the situation, for ther< A SOD sen 3 no poetry in developing a well-tilled rid improved farm out of a hundred nd sixty raw acres. Mightv hopes centered around the alf-mile square on which after sc inch preparation the settler began ie again. Those reared beneath ncestral roofs can little realize the allbsorbing optimism that prevades the rairie home. Inspired by its radiance usband and wife skimp and save and bruggle, enduring and suffering all, i order to realize the more perfect rosperity that the future offers. From lie claim to the city addition with its treets, alleys, electric lights anc" rolley wires is a long step, but westrn lands have often taken it, and there } to the eettler no reason why his owe ossession should not repeat the hisOTJ. There was something inspiring ir be word "claim." The land repreented was not purchased, leased 01 janed?it was "claimed" by the older as his right as an Americar itizen to the unused territory of the ation. The first who came were first erved and eager?sometimes bloody? re re the contests over desirable uarter-sections "claimed" by more han one settler. The claim was the financial salvation f thousands of deserving families uring the past two decades, and it is nfortunate that Uncle Sam has been ompelled to tell his children that he an no more "give them all a farm." 'he claim and the settler can figure o more in western development?beluse the claims are all taken and the ittler has become a farmer, or a real state speculator, or an office-holder. Leading up from the ranches of the juthweBt to the northern shipping oints, taking their way over hill, illey and river, washed by rains, vept by the winds, trodden by milons of pattering hoofs, the cattle ails of the prairies for twenty years ere unique features in western landjapes. Great furrows they were, two > three hundred feet wide, chocolateslored bands on the green of the lains. Along their undulating course erd after herd plodded its northward av. None ever came back?for the ttle seas of this, nervous faces, slener branching horns and hairy backs lat became 6uch familiar sights were ut supplies for the waiting shambles f city market places. The wealth of an empire moved over lese broad highways. In a single ?ason nearly a million Texas cattle aversed them. To see the herds in;inctively arrange themselves in order ke an army, with the same leaders ay after day was a study for the nalralist. Rivers were crossed withut confusion, herders riding their dimming bronchos beside the bovine 3mmanders of the battalion. At ight, "rounded up," the cattle lay lose together, a huge circle of breathlg, living animal force. The crackle f a stick, the snort of a horse, the owl of a coyote, and ten thousand anic-stricken steers, any one of which ouid not iie6itate to attach a man or orse alone, were stampeded, to be gain controlled only after hours of lasing and the loss of scores of maretable animals. The cattle trails, first located by ie herders as convenience dictated, ecame recognized as the prairie's loroughfares, just as cowpaths are IAXTT. eputed to have become an American ity's streets. But the new developlent of the west is making them obalete. Freight cars carry cattle more tviftly and safely. The "man with a oe" needs the land and is plowing up ie trails and running his barbed-wire ;nces across their courses. The openlg of the Cherokee Strip and Oklaoma ended the existence of the reater ones?features around which lustered so much of trade, romance ad adventure. (Jlosely connected with the cattle ail, yet not wholly confined to it in is sphere, was the cowboy, the stage ero of the west. His character has een so maligned and lauded, so eaped with glamour and contumely, iat one who has not met the real arcle considers him either a prince of amance or a monster. Occasionally man stalks down a Chicago, New ork or Boston street wearing a widerimmed white hat, leathern trousers nd blouse, broad belt and high boots 1 with long jingling spurs. He glares y fiercely irom side to side and the ims pressionable stare wonderingly at the e swaggering creature, thinking they a gaze at a-cowboy. They are mistaken i ?it is the basest immitation. The s real cowboy does hot wear outlandish dress nor swagger. He is engaged in f too serious business to make a travesty i of his calling. Not without training 9 and a clear brain can one take part in 1 handling a herd of wild Texas steers l from the back of a still wilder bron cho. r The cowboy works hard seven days t in the week. He is usually an ambie tious young man who has come west 5 to seek a livelihood, and if you watch a him you will see him occasionally take ' from an inside pocket the picture of r | a brighteyed eastern girl, the memory 31 of -whose smiles is his inspiration 300L HOUSE.

The dividing of the great ranches i of the prairies into farms has driven i the cattle owners and the oowboy to the ranges of Montana and "Wyoming. In Texas and Kan^s, where he gained t his fame, he is forgotten, except as . some old-timer recalls the early days . of his prominence. Brave, chivalrous , and faithful, the cowboy is not a bad t fellow. He is neither the tinseled j desperado of the stage nor the vin dictive villain of fiction. Like the . troubadour and the puritan, he has a , fixed place in popular ideas, and so , seldom is a representative of his class seen that it is doubtful if the current impression of his character can ever , be corrected. ' JI ^4'. F :?ll AN IMPROVED DUGOUT. The prairie schooner was the Mayflower of western immigration. The family that crossed the Mississippi to the sound of its creaking wheels feels a decided advantage over the one that was hurried westward on the luxurious divans of a Pullman car. Not unlike a vessel was it with its huge pokebonnet-like white canvas cover, sailing steadily through the sea of waving prairie grass. It was of this ship of the plains that Whittier thought when he wrote the "Kansas Emigrant's Song:" ' We cross the prairies as of old The Pilgrims crossed the sea." A lean and lazy team, a bearded man on the front seat, a wife and babe I surrounded by bedding, cooking utensils and provisions just visible beneath the half raised side curtains, some chairs tied to the rear and a colt or cow led behind?that was the prairie schooner's cargo, in early days,when danger threatened, scores of these unique vehicles traveled together and plodded toward the mountains along the well defined wagon trails leading across the plains. But in later years each has gone by itself, and the single family that has made it a habitation while in search of an abiding-place has steered as fancy or interest dictated. The last grand review of the prairie schooner fleet was when on a beautiful day of the autumn of 1893 hundreds of them lined up, ready to be hurried into hunting grounds of the redskins. When the signal was given at high noon, and the memorable "rush" had taken place, scattering the congregated homeseekers in a moment over the waiting lands, the display- was ended for American history. Never again can so many of these old wagons be gathered. The prairie schooner was freighted, as is the white-winged traveler of the ocean, with hopes and sorrows. Ol'ttlmes the long journey, the furnaceheated south winds and the constant jar wore out the tiny spark of life in tne baby's breast, and the mother never recalls the pilgrimage without thinking of a little mound that nestles low amid the prairie grasses somewhere along their course. At an artists' exhibition last winter a western railroad president purchased at an exhorbitant price a large painting of a typical prairie schooner. "I shall hang it," said he, "beside a superb drawing of my private car. Had my parents not ridden in a prairie schooner I should not now enjoy the luxury of a palace on wheels." Had .the pioneers of the Western States disdained the picturesque but lumbering vehicle and the sturdy toil of which it may well be considered an emblem, the splendid development of ?*e trans-Mississippi region might be yet far from accomplished.?Detroit Free Press. i General Sickles. It is said that General Daniel E. Sickles is tired of Washington and will not seek a re-election to Congress. Should this rumor prove true a few months will see the close, so far as the publio is concerned, of an extraordinary career, but General Sickles will remain until the end one of the striking figures of this big town, writes Wilford Gray in a New York letter. He is now past seventy-two but does not look to be over sixty. His figure is- still erect and powerful. He has a massive head, strong features, a dark complexion and an enereetic expres siou which is increased by the fire of his dark eyeB. His head of hair and heavy mustache retain their pristine hue, and seem even darker than they were in his younger years, and yet nearly fifty years ago this scarred veteran of politics and war was in the New Yoik Legislature, and during the bitter debates upon slavery that preceded secession, he was a leader of the Democracy in Congress. His career as a volunteer officer in the service of the Union, froia the time he raised his renowned brigade until the day he was maimed for life, and through the battles that were fought between the Chickahominy and Gettysburg, was distinguished by the same vehemence and tenacity that he had previously displayed in politics and that were subsequently displayed in another field, about which less ia known by his countrymen. The story is of tiis successful efforts at Madrid, when he was American Minister to the DANIEL E. SICKLES. short-lived Spanish Republic (18691874), to bring about the abolition of negro slavery in the Spanish West Indies, has never been told. There ' are documents upon this subject in the State Department at Washington, from which one of the most striking chapters in our diplomatic annals could be written, and it is to be hoped that the chapter, which would bring to light a remarkable but obscure episode in the stormy career of General Sickles, will remain' unwritten till his life has ended. It is not too much to say that it was by General Sickles's pressure upon Castelar that the abolition of slavery in Porto Rioo was brought about, nor is it too much to say that it was under the same pressure that the law providing for gradual emancipation in Cuba was promulgated. Furthermore, if General Sickles had then been able to secure the desired co-operation at Washington, the "Gem of the Antilles" would long ago .have been nnaer tne American flag. General Siokles is a man of fortune by inheritance, and knows how to enjoy life in the fashionable circles of New York.

Plenty ol Holidays in New Zealaud. The people of New Zealand are a holiday-making race. In almost every month they have some day which is set aside as a holiday.. At Christmas, New Year's and Easter the working class take two or three days extra to carry on their festivities. At these times all the inhabitants give themselves up to amusements. Horse racing, athletic sports, boat races and excursions are carried on in every available spot, and are attended by a large and almost invariably well-behaved crowd. The principal amusement among the common classes i3 picnics. All tbe different trades and societies have picnics of their own, to which the general public are welcome upon paying a small fee of admission. New Zealand people are like cattle. On one of these holidays the streets and houses of the villages are deserted, and an enterprising burglar could ransack the town from one end to the other without fear of being disturbed. About seven o'clock in the evening the streets become livelier again with the returning crowds.?St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Near by I purchased a tract of land. On pari of this land I disoovered about half a dozen caves. The entranoes were walled up with oement two and a half feet thick, with only port holes and a narrow aperture left sufficiently wide . to allow one person to enter. These caves were provided with ollas, in which water and provisions were stored, and were formed of long sacation grass, mixed with cement, and were usually about twelve feet high and eight or nine feet in width. One was in perfect preservation. 1 'The caves were divided into apartments, and one of them contained seventeen rooms. Upon the walls are still fresh character writings of the ancient inhabitants, of the same class as described in the 'Mexican Antiquities' by Lord Kingsbury.
