A Tale of Germs and Love
By I. L. HILL
“This is the Widal’s test. You saw
under the othei microscope how ac
tively the bacilli were moving. Now,
you will see, when I add this drop
of blood from the typhoid patient,
how the bacilli will cluster and clump
and lose their motion.”
Dr. Young deftly adjusted the slide
and with delicate manipulation com
pleted the test. The reaction was
' ypical.
“How interesting!” said the charm
ing girl who was being initiated into
some of the more striking phenomena
>f the laboratory. If indeed she was
not sincere in her profession of inter
est for these somewhat tinaesthetic
.eclmicalities, she certainly did not
fail to find attraction in the handsome
young physician who was demonstrat
ing them. Her eyes followed him in
every movement and beamed with ad
miration and sympathy.
“And are these real live germs, the
kind that cause all the mischief?”
she inquired.
“There are enough bacilli in that
tube of bouillon to give typhoid to an
entire city.”
She gave a playful little scream and
stopped back. “Oh, how dreadful!
And how dangerous you are who work
with those things every day! I believe
I shall have to be carfeul how close
l let you come.”
“You needn’t fear. See, now they are
°.afely stowed away in the incubator,
ind here go my hands in the anti
septics. I shall be perfectly safe
again.”
From the by-play that followed it
was evident that she took his word
for it.
“After to-morrow you will hear the
scientists talking of the Young test
just as they now do of the Widal test.
It’s a. reaction I have discovered to
establish the identity of the cholera
germ, and there is a test-tube culture
as cholera in that incubator that may
make my name famous. I’ve grown
them under certain new' conditions.
At the medical meeting to-morrow
sight they will be the illustration of
my maiden paper. I can’t explain to
you just what manipulations I shall
make to cause the reaction that will
how that it is cholera and nothing
else, for you wouldn’t understand it.
But, pshaw! this isn’t interesting to
you. I’m a bore when I get on my
hobby. You'll excuse me.”
“Why, Jack, you know I’m terribly
interested in science, and especially
in what you accomplish. Oh, I know
we're all going to be proud of you.”
They walked out of the laboratory
together—perhaps closer than the
necessities of the space demanded.
But. a hospital laboratory is an un
canny place, and one would naturally
lean toward the confident guide who
possessed such a mastery over its
sinister elements.
There were two other occupants of
the laboratory. The doctor and his
fair visitor had not been unconscious
of their presence—merely oblivious to
it. Perhaps they might have been less
•self-sufficiently comfortable had they
observed the attention with which
their dialogue had been noted.
Penton, a junior house physician,
was the first to speak. “Conceited
fool, that man Young. It's more luck
than sense that has given him his
advancement. He never did anything
wonderful at. college when I was in
his c lass. Humph! 1 never had to give
way to him then. But he had the
cash and could go right on and I had
to drop out a year and work. Now,
I'm taking orders from him! Making
discoveries! Just his luck to fall in|o
something new. They'll all pat him
on the back whether it amounts to
anything or not. Then there’ll be no
living with him.”
Penton looked bitterly envious, but
Heller, the pharmacist, evidently har
bored a deeper feeling. His face bore
the picture of jealousy and hatred.
Yet, he spoke lightly.
“She’s a mighty pretty girl, that
Miss Alden. He seems to stand very
well with her. But there’s many a
slip—ha!” His chuckle sounded harsh
and unnatural.
“Well. I must be going,” said Pen
ton. He glanced back furtively at the
Incubator as he left the laboratory.
Heller paced nervously up and down
the room. “Ten years ago Young
whipped me for something I said to
that same little Alden girl,” he mut
tered. “He has crossed me a dozen
times since that. She and I got along
well enough as school-mates until he
became acquainted with her: then
he made a good deal of her business
his own. The last few years she has
not even bowed to me. I can see
whose influence that is. And that
other deal. He had to discover ir
regularity in my method of buying
drugs! Claims he’ll report me as soon
us he has completed his investigation.
Pretty sort he is! No other house
physician ever made it his business
to find out where I bought the drugs,
or what 1 paid for them, or whether
I got anything out of it. Humph!
I suppose my job is gone.
“What a lot of deadly rubbish —
(he paused before the door of the in
cubator) —living poisons kept multi
plying by that heat. More deadly than
barrels of arsenic. Lord! And no
one can tell more than that the vic
tim has contracted the disease. Let's
r.ee this little plaything.” He opened
the door of the oven and took out a
tube-culture. He started suddenly as
though frightened at the trend of his
own thoughts.
“Heller, have you the key of the
dispensary?” He drew up suddenly
at the call of his name; hurriedly re
placed the tube and answered the call.
A half hour past midnight Dr. Pen
ton quietly entered the laboratory,
which was dark and deserted, lighted
a Bunsen burner and wmrked for half
an hour with test tubes, heat and
chemicals. He had the door closed
and worked quietly. He made sure
before he stepped into the hall that
he was not observed. He left the
laboratory in darkness.
Twa hours later a figure crept along
(Copyright, IdUii, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
the walls of the hall to the laboratory.
Reassured by a quick glance up and
down the hall, Heller, the pharmacist,
entered the door, which had not been
locked. He made his way quickly
to the incubator and lit a match with
trembling fingers and removed a tube
from its stand. “Cholera culture. Dec.
2nd,” he read the label. “Day before
yesterday—fresh,” he muttered. He
left the laboratory without daring to
look behind him.
“A letter for you, Dr. Young.” The
orderly handed an envelope to the
young doctor, just as he was glancing
over his notes, the reading of which
was next on the program that night.
Young opened the letter. As he read
his face grew white; he tottered and
sank back in his chair. “It’s too late,
too late!” he moaned. “Oh, Alice,
Alice!”
The physician who was reading an
article to the meeting stopped at this
interruption. Several of the physi

dans rushed to Young’s side. “What
is it?” asked old Dr. Jarden, chief of
the visiting staff.
“The letter,” Young gasped, point
ing to the sheet on the floor.
Dr. Jarden seized the letter and read
it in an undertone to the physicians
at his side:
Dr. Young: For God’s sake save your
self if you can! I am now on my way
to the sea, but if I am to continue in
the torture of conscience that I am now
enduring I shall put myself into the
ocean rather than on it. Be quick when
you get this. Early this morning I took
a drachm of pure cholera culture from
the laboratory and put it in your drink
ing glass. I saw you pour water in that
glass and drink it all down. Oh, God! I
was drunk when I did it.
For heaven’s sake save yourself.
Distractedly, HELLER.
“Who is Heller?” inquired the old
doctor of Penton, who was in the
group that listened to the letter. “But
first attend to this poor young man.
Irrigate continually with my antisep
tic solution. You know my formula.
But I fear we are too late.”
“Doctor Jarden, may I speak with
you in private?” Penton spoke like
one about to be whipped. “It was
contemptible, doctor,” he said, when
they had stepped aside; “just pure en
vy, but it is true, nevertheless, that last
night, in order to spoil Young’s ex
periment before the meeting, I took
his culture tubes of cholera and ty
phoid and subjected them to heat
enough to kill all the germs and
make his tests failures. Of course
the culture media were then harm
less and sterile.”
“Well, well!” exclaimed the old
doctor. “1 shall not divulge this. Let
them go on with the treatment; it
will do no harm.”
“My antiseptic formula will gel
credit for the cure,” he was thinking
Tastes in Reading Differ.
Mark Twain, in one of his booksi
declares that he cannot enjoy “The
Vicar of Wakefield,” a book that ha»
charmed several generations with its
exquisite simplicity and humor. The
farmer takes great comfort out of
this announcement on the part of a
man who is not only our greatest
humorist, but our greatest writer of
fiction. He feels that if Mark Twain
can abominate one of the treasures of
English literature, and roundly score
it. there is no reason why the
farmer himself should not go to
bed with his thoughts when his com
pany begins to sound the praises of
“Don Quixote.” The truth is that
both books are far above the reach of
individual opinion of any kind. They
may be praised, or they may be smart
ly criticised; it is all one. They have
passed over to the immortals, and
there they will remain. They have
become classics. —Joel Chandler Har
ris, in Uncle Remus’ Magazine.

Two effective modes of dressing woman’s “crown of glory.”
SLIPS FOR SUMMER GOWNS.
Are Built on the Princess Lines Popu
lar Last Year.
The costumes for the summer will
not be complete if worn without slips
built on the princess lines of last year.
This does not necessitate heavy,
elaborate undergowns of silk and
satin. Ordinary figured dimities and
lawn may be used with charming com
binations, and trimmed with lace and
all-over embroidery.
Some of them are made on the plan
of circular corset covers and circular
petticoats, joined at the waist with a
line of beading. They must all be
made simple, so that washing is easy,
and really they will be no more ex
pensive than the usual lingerie for
summer wear.
Every girl will need three of plain
white and two of flowered lawn or
dimity, or else five of plain white.
Some girls will have them all in white,
but trimmed with bands of the flow
ered materials.
Of course, the slip would not be
quite enough as a foundation for a
sheer dress unless it is of silk, so
many girls will also wear the “panta
lons-jupons” so popular in Paris at the
present time. These latter may be
made of material to match the slip and
very full, with deep ruffles of lace.
Some of the more elaborate slips
will be trimmed with Dresden ribbon
and fine lace, and many will have little
ruffles running from knees to feet.
The Bordered Gown.
An original white frock of the
“youthful simplicity” order struck a
new note the other day, being worn
by a golden-haired girl in slight
mourning. It was a soft iilminess of
very fine white net resembling tulle,
and both the upper skirt (short to the
knees in front and apparently caught
up at the back of the waist to fall in
irregular edged box plaits) and the
lower one was bordered with a deep
hem of black velvet, above which was
embroidered ia a jet running design
->f round garlands and ribbons, looping
over and under a band of silver tis
sue laid beneath the net.
This idea could be varied and car
ried out in all sorts of colors, or in
one or two shades combined with a
white or ivory gown, or all in one pale
hue.
The difference in material is often
sufficient contrast; velvet on chiffon or
crepe de chine, for instance.
Something Original.
Extremely pretty and new was a
little frock destined for a girl to wear
at one of the balls. Of fine white net,
it was mounted upon soft satin and
trimmed with many deep bands of
what looked at first like braiding, but
which proved to be a closely-woven
design of narrow satin rouleaux, ar
ranged in a geometrical pattern of the
“maze” description, exactly like sou
tache on cloth. The same idea has
been carried out in velvet or eve/
cloth, on materials stalwart enough to
stand the weight of it. A .dear little
pale pink tulle frock was “braided”
thus with chenille.
Waists of Wash Tulle.
A distinct novelty for the south, and
which will create a kind of revolution
in the shirt-waist line, is a tailored
waist of white washable tulle, made
very severely and designed to take the
place of the white linen shirt-waist.
It is lined only as high as an ordinary
corset cover would come, has long
tucked sleeves, and fastens down the
front with six pearl studs. This tulle
is said not only to launder beautifully,
but to wear well.
Fashion Favors Coarse Laces.
All the old laces are at present fash
ionable in Paris, and it is the coarse
mesh that is most sought. We see
handsome blouses of nothing save
Cluny lace sewed together, and even
when the finer meshes are employed,
big medallions and anemones are put
on, so that the coarse lace is always
in evidence. Even for lingerie the
coarsest of meshes and threads are
sought. Material for such purposes
cannot be too beautiful, and the dain
tiest and sheerest of batiste is used;
but with the laces —that is another
: natter.
Ruffles on Hats.
Many of the spring hats have ruffles
jf lace sewn inside just where the
crown and the brim are fastened to
gether. This ruffle is allowed to fall
over the hair, and it makes a very at
tractive and becoming a addition.
New Neckwear.
Paris is again to the fore with a
quaint neck conceit in the way of a
single short flat band of fur that just
clasps the neck and is fastened on the
side under a bow of some bright-tinted
iftbon.
WEAR COLORS THAT COMBINE.
Proper Harmony the Most Effective
Thing in a Costume.
After all, there is nothing more im
portant in a costume than combina
tion of color, for, no matter how rich
the material, if the colors do not har
monize the gown will be wrong. For
this reason, brown and gold have re
mained so very popular, as have also
smoke gray and silver.
A charming tea gown is of silver
gray crepe de chine, made empire and
finished with yoke and sleeves of
white Oriental lace, which is net em
broidered in heavily raised dots. The
gown hangs straight and untrimmed
from bust to hem, where it has a band
of silver braid.
A tea gown of brown chiffon velvet
is made in a rather skimpy style, cut
in slightly at the waist line, while the
yoke and sleeves are of ecru net heav
ily embroidered with gold thread. At
the foot of the gown is a band of the
same embroidered filet, only the
thread extends over the edge of the
net in places and makes a pretty curve
on the velvet.
Ecru is always an attractive color,
and so is champagne, and both com
bine beautifully with a deep golden
brown. Blue is the hardest of all col
ors to trim, but its own color in a
lighter or darker shade is always a
safe combination.
New Sofa Cushion.
An innovation in pyrography has
just been introduced which adds much
to the beauty of the work. Suede or
leather is burnt and cut into designs
and colored satin or tapestry is fas
tened to the back. This gives a
brighter look to the whole work and
relieves the solid-leather effect.
A beautiful soft cushion is made
in brown suede, burnt in some flower
Jcsign. A large diamond is cut from
the center of the leather and a mull
colored tapestry is fastened to the
back, so that the colors are set in the
dark leather like a jewel.
This idea is carried out in leather
boxes and picture frames, in these
bright-green and red satin being used.
The result of the combination is rare
ly beautiful and it at once overcomes
the oft-expressed objection to dec
orated leather, “It is too dark and
plain.”
MADE UP IN TAFFETA.

Undersleeves in Color.
It is said that Parisian style maker®
are concealing their original designs
because Americans steal them, as if
style isn’t anybody’s property. Word
comes that the favorite sleeve in
Paris just now is finished by an un
dersleeve, not the sheer white under
sleeve with which women here have
long been familiar, but an undersleeve
of satin, velvet or silk, of relieving
color from the loose outer sleeve.
They don’t seem to be worn around
here as yet, but women should be on
the lookout for them, as they may be
attractive.
Bordered Gingham.
One of the newest things is ths
Scotch gingham in plain color with a
striped border. Gray grounds with
black and white stripes, green with
lavender or lavender with green
stripes, pinks and blues with darker
stripes and tans blended with soft
browns are among the blends. White
linen crash with a colored stripe bor
der is one of the practical things
among the linens.

CEMENT CULVERTS.
Prove the Cheapest Because They
Last Longest.
If it is necessary to lay a pipe
within two feet of the surface of the
roadway, iron water pipe or gas pipe
should be used. For larger volumes
of water culverts of rubble masonry
or Portland-cement concrete may be
built. Very often, with a proper de
sign, it will be found to be more
economical to use the concrete, par
ticularly if it is re-enforced with steel.

Concrete Culvert End.
Large culverts and bridges should
always be designed by competent civil
engineers and constructed under their
supervision. Indeed, very often the
advice of such an engineer in regard
to the smaller waterways might be
sought with profit. Money is too often
wasted from a lack of knowledge con
cerning the proper sizes of pipes and
culverts.
In many localities it is the custom
to extend to the center of the road
driveways leading from adjacent lands
to the road to meet its center grade.
This practice makes it necessary to
carry the gutter water under the drive
way in a pipe. Nearly always it is
possible, by regarding such a drive
way, to make it coincide with the gut
ter grade, so that the surface water
will flow by without interruption.
This should always be done when pos
sible. Pipes with open ends laid at
the gutter grade are always unsatis
factory, since they fill up quickly with
leaves and sand and with slush in
winter time, and thus the surface wa
ter is forced out upon the macadam
and soon gullies it. When a pipe is
required, a catch basin should be built
on the upper side of the driveway, the
pipe should be laid to connect with it,
and carried sufficiently far under
ground to discharge properly into the
gutter below the driveway.
fn cuts where the grade Is in ex
cess of three per cent, and where the
soil is loose or sandy it is sometimes
necessary to pave the gutters with
cobblestones or with paving bricks
or paving stones to prevent the for
mation of gullies in the shoulders and
in the macadam. Usually a gutter
three feet in width laid on the same
or a little greater slope than the ma
cadam, with an outer row of large
stones about one foot, high laid ver
tically against the bank of the cut, is
sufficient. Such a gutter usually re
places the shoulder, and it should not
be constructed until the macadam is
substantially completed.
DRAG THE ROADS.
Work If Done While Roads Are Soft
Is Most Effective.
The spring of the year is the time
when the work of road-dragging must
commence if the roads are to be
brought into a good condition through
this process. Dragging is a work that
must be done at the very muddiest
time to be most effective. Some com
munities have waited till mid-summer
or fall before beginning this work, and
the results have not been very satis
factory.
In the spring the frost coming out
of the ground leaves the roads muddy
to a great depth. The whole mass is
then plastic and will yield under the
passing of the road drag. The glaz
ing is then easily done and when the
good weather comes the heat of the
sun dries the surface into a hard mass
that remains so for a long time. In
states where great advance has been
made in the science of road dragging
the major part of the work has been
done in the early spring. After the
foundation work is done the work can
be later continued after heavy rains,
but these rains do not usually wet the
road in to a very great depth.
The benefits of dragging have been
demonstrated in a thousand localities
where the soil has in it enough clay
to glaze under the passing of the road
drag. We believe that every com
munity where the roads are not sandy
in nature can afford to take up this
work and give the roads treatments
that will insure good roads for the
balance of the year.
Cross-Over for Barbed Wire Fence.
Anyone who has ever tried to cross
over a barbed wire fence knows ho\s
difficult it is to accomplish it without
injury to body or clothing. A safe
passage may be arranged by taking
two short boards or pieces of plank
ing six inches wide and long enough
to reach from the ground to four
inches above the fence. Nail these
strips securely to the fence post, slant
ing out at the bottom about two feet
from the post. To these pieces nail
three cross pieces on either side of the
fence thus forming what is practical
ly a ladder on both sides. The fence
post should be longer than the others
along the line as it enables one to
grasp it for support while crossing.
Several ladders of this kind arranged
at convenient intervals will make the
matter of crossing wire fences easy. 1
PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. 2.
Dr. Hartman has claimed for many years that Penina is an EXCELLENT
CATARRH REMEDY. Some of the doctor’s critics have disputed the doctor’!
claim as to the efficacy of Peruna.
Since the ingredients of Penina are no longer a secret, what do the medi
cal authorities say concerning the remedies of which Peruna is composed?
Take, for instance, the ingredient HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS, OR
GOLDEN SEAL. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy,
that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes,
chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach),
chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (catarrh of the liver), and in
diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for
the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, CORYDALIS FORMOSA, is classed in the
United States Dispensatory as a tonic.
CEDRON SEEDS is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that
has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty
years. THE SEEDS ARE TO BE FOUND IN VERY FEW DRUG STORES.
The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as
a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases
as a SUBSTITUTE FOR QUININE.
OIL OF COPAIBA, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomach
and intestinal tract. It acts as a stimulant on the genito-urinary membranes.
Our Peruna Tablet
Is Peruna With
Fluid Removed.
(catarrh of the mucous surfaces of the mouth), follicular pharyngitis (catarrh
of the pharynx), chronic coryza (catarrh of the head). This writer classes
hydrastis as a stomachic tonic, useful in atonic dyspepsia (chronic gastrio
catarrh), catarrh of the duodenum, catarrh of the gall duct, catarrh of the
intestines, catarrh of the kidneys (chronic Bright’s disease), catarrh of the
bladder, and catarrh of other pelvic organs.
BARTHOLOW REGARDS COPAIBA as an excellent remedy for chronio
catarrh of the bladder, chronic bronchitis (catarrh of the bronchial tubes).
BARTHOLOW STATES THAT CUBEB, an ingredient of Peruna, pro
motes the appetite and digestion, increases the circulation of the blood. Use
ful in chronic nasal catarrh, follicular pharyngitis (catarrh of the pharynx),
increasing the tonicity of the mucous membranes of the throat. It also re
lieves hoarseness. Useful in atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), and in
chronic catarrh of the colon and rectum, catarrh of the bladder, prostatorrhea,
and chronic bronchial affections.
MILLSPAUGH, MEDICINAL PLANTS, one of the most authoritative
works on medicinal herbs in the English language, in commenting upon
COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, says that it acts on the pneumogastric and
vaso motor nerves. It increases the secretions of the mucous membranes in
general. In the mountains of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Carolina,
collinsonia canadensis is considered a panacea for many disorders, including
headache, colic, cramp, dropsy and indigestion. DR. SCUDDER regards it
highly as a remedy in chronic diseases of the lungs, heart disease and asthma.
These citations ought to be sufficient to show to any candid mind that Pe
runa is a catarrh remedy. Surely, such herbal remedies, that command the
enthusiastic confidence of the highest authorities obtainable, brought together
in proper combination, ought to make a catarrh remedy of the highest efficacy.
This is our claim, and we are able to substantiate this claim by amnio
quotations from the HIGHEST MEDICAL AUTHORITIES IN THE WOTLD.
Surely a No-Account Dog.
A man in Missouri recently sued a
railway company for damages for
the death of a hound killed on the
track, says the Youth’s Companion.
The company defended itself upon
the following points:
Said dog was chasing a rabbit un
defendant’s tracks in violation of the
game laws.
Said rabbit lived on defendant’s
right of way, and was therefore the
property of the defendant.
Plaintiff’s dog was a trespasser,
and was hunting defendant’s property
without permission.
Said deceased was not much of a
dog, anyhow, or it could easily have
kept out of the way of defendant’s
trains.
And having fully answered, defend
ant prays to be discharged.

good man could drive the ball.
“Well, I’ll tell you,” responded Mr.
Conway, with a twinkle in his eye that
contradicted his serious speech. “In
the good old days when Cuchuillin was
champion of Ireland, the king and all
the nobility were assembled at the
great games of Tailtin. Cuchuillin
struck up a hurley ball into the sky.
and then walked off to his pavilion and
