Yellow Fever Germ
If telegraphic report* wl-icb con e
from Now Orleans are to b* believe t,
Dr. Paul Archinant bacteriologist ol
the Loaieieae State Board of Health,
and bit aaaielanta, have made a most
important discovery with reference to
yellow fever.
It ia asserted that they have met
with complete success in their search
for the yellow fever germs, and they
now predict that persons may be made
immune against yellow fever by giving
them a mild attack of the disease as in
smallpox vaccinating, or allow of the
serum treatment of the malady after it
has been discovered in a patient by an
examination of their blood, as has
been done in the case of diphtheria
and as proposed by Dr. Sanarelli.
Dr. Archinard’s full report will not
be published until February 21s», but
New Orleans physicians are disposed
to take the view that it will prove to
be one of the greatest value and will
make the South able to protect itaelf
fully against yellow fever in the future.
The investigations were conducted
under the auspices of the state board
of health by Dr. Paul Archinard, Dr
R. S. Woodson, of the United States
army, and Dr. John Archinard, demon
strator o! anatomy in Tulate Univer
sity. At first little success was met
with, but the use of the agglutinative
test, discovered by Dr. Vidal, of Paris,
in typhoid fever, enables the bacteri
ologists to difeover the yellow fever
germ in 87 per cent of the cases sub
milted to them, whereas Sanarelli, the
discoverer of the germ, found it in
only forty-seven per cent of the cases*
and all previous experiments in this
country have completely failed.
The experiments demonstrate the
fact that the bacteriological diagnosis
ol yellow fever can be depended upon
with* almost complete certainty to
determine the presence or absence ol
the disease This, it is believed, will
be of untold benefit in fighting yellow
fever, as it will enable physicians to
discover the disease in its first s’ages,
hitherto difficult, and will prevent the
confusion hitherto existing*—the differ
ence of opinion existing among the
doctors as to the disease, so frequent
last summer.
Idioayneraalee vt the Telephone.
A young woman who lives at 17 Blank
street left an order at a down town gro
cery, and when the time for the delivery
wagon to appear had passed she grew anx
ious and hastened to the nearest telephone.
Perhaps in her nervousness she spoke
Indistinctly to the exchange girl. Anyway
this is the conversation which ensued:
“Hello! Why didn't you send your
wagon to 17 Blank street?”
“Wait a moment. Hollo, I don’t End
any such street on our order book. What’s
the name of the party?”
“ The name is Wiggleswcrth. I gave the
order myself.”
“That’s funny. Old person or young
person?”
“Young person.”
“What style did you order?”
“What style? Why, I ordered a lot of
things, and you promised they’d come up
on the first wagon.”
“Say, I guess you’ve made a mistake.”
“No, I haven’t. The mistake is yours.”
• “Who do you think you’re talking to?”
“Why, to Simpson, the grocer.”
“No, you’re not. You’re talking to
Thompson, the undertaker,”
Br-r-r-r-r! And the bell rang off.—
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A Plausible Excuse.
A primary grade teacher in Cleveland
was endeavoring So tell her little pupils
the story of Adam and Eve. The Plain
Dealer says that she made quite a romance
of it, tolling with considerable graphic
power of the fall of Eve and the gradual
way in which she was tempted.
“I’ve no doubt, children," she said,
“that Eve told Adam stories about where
she was goSffg when she went down into
the woods to meet the wicked serpent.
Perhaps she said she was going to look for
birds’ eggs or to pick some new flower or
to find a squirrel’s nest. Always some
new excuse, you see. And, of course, in
such a beautiful new place there were ever
so many charming things to attract atten
tion. Now. -what do you think Eve said
she was going to see when she left Adam,
Mabel?”
Mabel was a true little woman.
“I fink,” she replied, “that she said she
was goln to the dressmaker's. ”
Senator Bacon’s Amendment.
Senator Bacon’s amendment, while
offered in good faith, was also designed,
doubtless, to expose the insincerity of
the annexationists in tbeir pretension
that the only objections to the absorp
tion of the island exist in this country.
If the question were submitted to the
vote of the people of the United States,
after sufficient Ums had been given to
explain all that is involved in annexa
tion, it is probable tbe majority here
would be as decisive as in Hawaii.
But this seems to be a case in which
neither the people of Hawaii or of the
United States are assumed to have any
opinions which the annexationists are
bound to respect.—Baltimore Sun.
The Logic of Protection
Mr. Dingley is a perfectly logical
protectionist. * First a tariff that shuts
our goods out of the foreign markets.
Then law* forbidding Georgia to pro
duce goods cheaper than Masaacbd
setts or to export tbe Mtn,. The next
step, and Mr. Dingley must take it, if
bis system does not sooner tumble in'
ruins, will be a proposition to pay fed*
to manufacturers* who
have been forced by protection to close
their mills.—New York Times.
