In the discussion at the recent congress of surgeons in Berlin. on first ald to the wounded on the battlefield it was brought out by V. Brune, Bertelsmann and others that the danger in modern warfare is not 80 much from primary infection by the small-caliber projectile of rapid-fire rifies as from secondary Infection by contamina- tion of the wound from the clothing or the dust of the battlefield. The effort of the fleld surgeon is therefore more to exclude septic and tetanus germs than to disinfect the wound. But to come nearer home, says Amer- ican Medicine, the danger of dust is em- phasized by the report that New York City bas over 400 street sweepers om the slck list with diseases due to the inhalation of infectious dust. A number of affections are 80 commonly conveyed in dust as to merit the designation of ‘‘dust diseases;’ of these cerebrospinal meningitis is of frequent oc- currence in citles during the spring months. At this season all sorts of nolsome rub- bish, the accumulation of the winter, in cellars and back yards, is eet out on the street to await the coming of the ashman, whose course is marked by clouds of dust littered streets and dusty porches. Closed carts well adapted to the removal of gar- bage have been invented and the system employed in the business sections of put- ting the street sweepings in sacks is ad- mirable, but it remalns for the sanitary engineer to turn his inventive mind toward devising a wagon capable of conveying do- mestic rubbish and ashes without dispers- ing the lighter stuff along the route. Ready Wit, Ready Money. The University of Pennsylvania has not a large endowment, relates the Philadelphia Times, and that it finds the means to pay its current expenses and put up new build- ings is due in great measure to its provost, Charles C. Harrison. His little black sub- scription book is well known in many a downtown office—too well known, a prom- inent broker told him not long ago. Mr. Harrison was pleading pe! ently with bim for a subscription, but in vain. Finally the broker said: “See here, Mr. Harrison, I will give you something on onme condition.” Very well, Mr. T——," sald the provost, “mame it." “The condition is that you promise never 20,0 natives | Ma, OMAHA LIVE STOCK MARKET Week Oloses with Beef Oattle a Little Lower Than the Frevious Week.

This story, which is sometimes embel- lished with profanity, says the San Fran- cisco Bulletin, f{llustrates the sort of repartee which too often wifs a man a reputation for wit. There are persons whose station in life is higher than 'Arry’s, but whose idea of repartee is of the same stripe as that of the cockney in the story. These persons have a habit of making offensive and extremely rude remarks which pass for witty repartee in general and indiscriminating company.

The herseplay comedy in which the humor consists of smashing ples on the faces of the dramatis personse and throw- ing the buffo into a trough of real water has never falled to amuse, and nine out of ten persons will guffaw to see a dig- nified gentleman fall into a muddy puddle. Bad manngfs in conversation should be distinguishad from wit, but seldom are, and the gentleman must suffer eclipse now and then from a louder and ruder, though perhaps a duller man. is aimed against fraud, hypocrisy and things really evil. The wit of amicable de- bate and ordinary conversation should not violate the rules of good manners. ‘Like Samson, I kill thousands at one blow,” ex: claimed Voltaire, facetiously, as he took a bite of Limburger cheess at a dinner. “Like Samson—and with the same sald a certaln abbe at the table, the cleverness of whose remark galned nothing by its rudeness. But.one can for- give a little rudeness in genuine wit. It st the saltless rudeness, the stupid verbal bludgeoning which pose wit, that one protests most earnestly. In congress the other day one of -the members of the lower house remarked that his constituents approved .of his conduct. “Then they ‘are easily satisfled,”” shouted Mr. Grosvenor, and there was a laugh.
