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 Archinard’s full report will not be published until February 21s», but New Orleans physicians are disposed to take the view that it will prove to be one of the greatest value and will make the South able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.
