Unlike most persons who offer them- from the other, din selves up for the benefit of science, Gar- | bault has gone into the matter from a positive standpoint.

He 3 sat should know ein Dr. Koch’s ar- guments were correct and wherein | they were lacking in fact. He was young, in perfect health, had received the ¢ e of doctor of natural scien- ces, ad held the chief researches A and com ti natomy at the Uni- versity of Bordeaux. Therefore when he offered to Dr. Koch for purposes of demonstration there was himself a perceptible stir among medical men. Dr. Koch consistently used er the offer and Garbault ation to show to consi continued his investi that the theory of the German scien- tist with to tuberculosis inoculation was in ect.

He still believed that a practical test should be made, yet he was not will- ing to ask for or aecept volunteers. so in order that the world might be made the wiser he determined that, he himself should carry out the ex periment which Dr. Koch had refused to attempt. With this end in view he gathered about him several emi- nent nch physicians, and with them went to the great butchershops of La Villette in Paris to carry out the demonstration. ng his right arm, the courage- unflinching forearm.

At the same time a frag- ment of the ganglion was taken to be applied to another animal. Thus Garbault incoulated his blood with the deadly germs of tubereulosis and exposed himself to a terrible death should his claim that the theory of Dr. Koch is untrue prove to be cor- rect. if however, the outcome is con- trary to his expectations, he has al- ready fully decided to begin anew by using a form of injection still more dangerous being that of appli- cation between the veins. jarbault’s experiment has attract- ed widespread attention, and medi- cal men throughout the world are eagerly awaiting the outcome. __ 1 that the world | anh WASHINGIUN BLK.

The ever-ravenous porkers heard him coming, and, persistently on the look- out for feeding time, they scrambled into the trough and braced their feet against the side of the pen.

Many Lives Saved by What Is Called Presence of Mind. Men, and Children Who Averted Death by Thinking and Acting Quickly—Story of a Canine Hero, Women There are certain mysterious attri- butes of the human mind which bafile even the most searching scientific in- vestigation. For instance, who can account with any decree of satisfaction for that mental condition inspired by emergency and commonly designated as presence of mind? Hundreds of lives are saved every year through the brain it possible for human beings to think and act quick- ly with seemingly supernatural pow- ers, yet no one can say positively whether he poss a mind so en- dowed until opportunity opens the way for a practical demonstatien. By considering cases where lives have been spared through presence of mind it will be seen that even in accidents of the most shocking character per- sons are snatched out of the jaws of death by the ability of the mind to remain active even under exceedingly trying cond ns. Oftentimes it is the person who afterwards is heralded as a hero who displays wonderful pres- ence of mind, and not infrequetly it is the victims themselves. But the gen- eral principle is the same in both cases. Anothe »le feature about the mental A 1own as presence of mind is that it is as well developed in children as among grown pe This fact is proved by the heroic con- duct of 6-year-old Edith Ruthem, of New Brunswick, N.

Animals are frequently no less he- roes than human being: id an inci- dent of the recent burning of the steamer City of Pittsburg near Ogden Landing presents a strikin illustra- tion of this fact. Michael Burt and his family took ' the steamer at Owensburg, Ky. It was a family of 13. and but one survives, a girl of ten years. When the. family ' boarded the steamer a large Newfound- i land dog followed them on the boat in spite of the fact that every effort was made to keep it off. When the aoimal saw that it would be forced t+ leave the steamer it ran in hiding until the boat was under way, and dwitg the trip would sulk along and hide, afraid to come out for fear of punishment at the hands of the master or some mem- ber of the crew. When the fire broke ont on the steamer the dog saw members of the family perish, and finally the ten-year- old child, with whom it was accus- tomed to play, plunge into the water. The child had no sooner fallen than the faithful animal went after her, caught her dress in its teeth, and swam with her to the shore, where it kept watch until the child was taken in charge by rescuers.

The next instant a snake made for her. Seizing a broom handle which lay by the stairs, the woman defended her- self from the attack of the snake, At the same time she tried to strike the reptile with her club, but the snake was too quick for her. - Finally, after a struggle of nearly an hour, she drove the reptile into a cor- ner and killed it with the club. The reptile proved to be a water snake about three feetinlength. How it got into the cellar is not known. Never Heard Lord's Prayer, If Hetty Williams, of Fort Scott, Kan., could have repeated the Lord’s prayer she might have had one year less to serve in prison—but she couldn't. She confessed she never had even heard ghe prayer. She is a dashing and rather pretty young woman of the frontier who has been convicted of horse stealing. The evi- dence showed she was a professional. The court, moved by her youth, after haying sentenced her to five years in the penitentiary, offered to reduee | the term of four years if she would repeat the Lord’s prayer as an indi- cation that there was good ground in her heart in which to start a crop of reform. Hetty owned up frankly she didn't know a word of it. She will serve five years. ‘The Children of Drunkards, A noted physician of Paris asserte thet it is impossible for an habitual drunkard to have sound children.
