FrSnch Physicians in Tunis Are Now Using. injections of Bacilli to Stop the Plague. The Paris Matin says that the physicians at the Pasteur institute at Tunis have achieved success with the new prophylactic method of ' .-tvefing Asiatic cholera. Briefly it consists of injection of the commas bacilli found in the intertines of cholera patients. It is said that the blood thereby becomes extremely rich and renders persons immune from the contagion. Three physi cians, Nicolle, Coner and Conseil, ex perimented on themselves and also swallowed the bacilli. Dr. Reux, in reporting the matter to the academy of sciences said that even if the effi cacy of the experiments were not ~ rovedttheywere interesting and de befollowed up. THE DIFFERENCE.

"This sort of June weather is very unseasonable." "Well, don't get hot about it." Patro Help Give STILL IN PRIMITIVEc.* STATEr hocos Indians of Panama Free With Simple Hospitality and Small Wants. Professor Pittie -of the United States agricultural department, who was recently sent to Panama for bo tanical study, has done some remark able work for the Smithsonian insti tution in regard to exploring among the original inhabitants of that re gion. He visited a tribe of Indians known as the Chocos. They lived on the southwestern coast of Pana ma, and Professor Pittier thinks they are descendants of the tribes which inhabited that part of the world when Columbus discovered Santo Domingo. They are tall and stalivart, with kindly natures, a free hospitality and an innate honesty. Few white men have ever been among them. Tribes of a somewhat similar nature are also found on the southeast coast, many of them having never seen a white face in their lives. While the Republic of Panama nominally rules this section, the truth is that these Indians govern themselves entirely, have absolutely no intercourse with the whites, do not allow a white man to visit their lands and still fly the Colombian flag. Their houses are grass huts, their clothing is almost nothing, but they seem to enjoy life in spite of the fact that they are unacquainted with the benefits of religion, fashion, society and government.

The largest single electric sign in the world depicts a baby's face that alternately smiles and sheds tears on the crowds that throng Broadway, New York. The smile is some twelve feet wide when it reaches its fullest development and each individual tear is two feet by ten inches wide. The sign itself is 5 feet high by 106 feet wide and contains a total of 9,010 square feet of space. The child's head is forty feet high. The sign weighs 80 tons and contains 4,050 electrie lights.

The German peasant loves his pipe and his beer, and on a Sunday afternoon his game of Kegel; but on high days and holidays he likes to be dancing. He and she will trudge for miles to dance at some distant village inn. You meet them dressed in their best clothes, walk ing barefoot and carrying clean boots and stockings. How they can dance in tight boots after a long, hot walk on a dusty road you must be a Ger man peasant yourself to understand. The dance I remember best took place in a barn belonging to a vil lage inn in Bavaria. I went with several English friends to look on at it, and the men of our party danced with some of the village girls. The room was only lighted by a few candles and it was so crowded that while everyone was dancing everyone was hustled. But we were told that anyone who chose could "buy the floor" for a time by giving sixpence or a shilling to the band. - Two of the Englishmen did this and the crowd looked on in solemn approval while they waltzed once or twice round with the pretty granddaugh I ters of our hosts.-From "Home Life in Germany," by Mrs. Alfred Sidgwick. DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSION Man May or May Not Have Been Hen pecked, but Here Are Facts Vouched for by Grouch. I A couple of old grouches at the Metropolitan club in Washington were one night speaking of an old friend who, upon his marriage, took I up his residence in another city. One of the grouches had recently visited the old friend, and, naturally, the other grouch wanted news of the benedict. "Is it true that he is henpecked?" asked the second grouch. "I wouldn't say just that," grimly rr'ponded the first grouch, "but I'll tell you of a little incident in their household that came within my ob servation. The very first morning I spent with them our old friend an swered the letter carrier's whistle. As he returned to us, in the break fast room, he carried a letter in his hand. Turning to his wife, he said: "'A letter for me, dear, May I open it ?' "-Lippincott's. VARIETIES OF EELS. There is the broad nose eel, and hen again there is the sharp nose eel. The great difference between these two varieties is that the broad nosed eel is the male and the sharp nosed eel is the female, both being really of one and the same family. When summer comes young eels by the millions schoot from midocean hore and wriggle up our rivers. Out at sea young eels are as clear as lass and as thin as ribbon. They are about four inches long, with a little head. The young eel seems not to eat at sea and only loses its glassy look and becomes colored as it gets to shore within reach of a rier.-New York Press. MORE ON THE BREAD QUESTION. Because the coarser-grained breads are less easily digested-or possibly not so completely digested-is not, of itself, sufficient to condemn them. Many of the foods most difficult to digest give us the greatest amount of nourishment. Whcn you weigh the one over against the other, the argument will, after all, be in favor of the coarser foods-the foods con taining the greatest amount of nu triment. THE COLLECTION.

'me Ind OWNS mr Pri UNAiBLE TO SEE ANY HOPE Eleventh Hour Had Passed and There WasPNo Consolailon for the Sorrowing Wife. An old minister in South Wales told a story once to Pastor Thomas of the Washington 'Avenue Congre gational church which illustrates the verity of the saying that it is folly. to be wise where so much consola tion can be gained from ignorance, says the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch. The preacher told him, "I was; called to visit an old women very illitemte and ignorant of spiritual things; a short time after the death! of her husband, who was noted for, his learning, his enmity to the Chris tian ministers and his capacity for drink. "Fearfully she told me that it was not his loss, but his unpreparedness for death that so concerned her. Then I called her attention to the thief who obtained forgiveness on the cross at the eleventh hour, after he had sincerely repented. "'Possibly,' I said, 'your husband had mercy and forgiveness at the eleventh hour.' "The old woman paused in her weeping, looked at an old clock in the corner, hesitated, and then said in a broken-hearted tone, 'That's the trquble, Mr. Jones, it was after twelve on that clock when he died and it was only fifteen minutes fast. I wish now that it had been an hour ahead of time. Then there might have been some hope.'" DIPFERENT BIN. The rate at which some birds can migrate under favorable conditions is extraordinary, and as one listens to their plaintive cries coming from the darkness overhead it is difficult to realize that in a few hours these same birds may be within the arctic circle and little later ,may be even crossing the pole itself. . . . Less is known of the actual dates of the departure of the migratory birds in autumn than of those of their arrival pariier in the year, and this for ob vitous reasons.

About a dozen vel-to-do Cerman followers of the "simple life," and consisting of naturalists an(d their wives, a well-known writcr, who acts as leader, and a photographer. ar rived recently at the Buddhist mon. astery at Lausanne, Switzerlaud. They came from Leipzig, and are on a tour round the world on foot (sev eral on bare feet), which they hope to accomplish "within five or six years." Their motto is taken from Heine: "God gave us two legs to walk with, and if he had wished us to be the slaves of the soil, one lef would have suficed." The "simple life" devotees, who are all teetotalers and vegetarians, have undertaken this journey across three continents with a view to studving the religions and customs of the different coun tries, through which they pass. From Switzerland they go to Italy, Aus tria, Turkey, Asin Minor, Persia, In dia, Tibet, China, Japan and North America, returning by boat to Spain, whence they go to Lapland, return ing eventually to Germany. All the travelers are in the best of health, and very enthusiastic over their plans. IN OTHER WORDS Irvington Boothlette-Base in grate!
