DISEASE IS NOT A HEREDITARY ONE Evidence ttiiil II Cnu He nfTcclnnlly ] K * < rn > rilMiirty 1'ur Cent of 1,100 CIINI-N S Minneapolis sanitary statisticians prove teas as that one-tenth of the human family dies annually of consumption , and that , considered relatively , tvery tenth man , woman , and child you meet Is Buffering from tubercu losis. Tremendous as are the ravages of this disease among tlio members of the human race , Its ravages bccoins all the more appalling when wo consider that one of the best friends of man , the domestic cow , Is subject to the same disease and may communicate It to the 'human ' being. During the last two years and a half , nt the State Experimental station In connection with the agricultural department of the University of Minnesota , extensive and Im portant Investigations have been under way , not only In the testing of cattle for tubercu losis and demonstrating the Inerrancy of tuberculin as a diagnostic agent , but In that oven more Important work , attempting cura- tlvo measures among cattle who liavo been found to bo tuberculous. Manifestly , If the cure of consumption can bo assured , even In cattle , a marvelous advance has been to bo badly dltNUoi ] , Involving the lunge , lymphatic glands , spleen and liver. Ex teriorly he was In an flno condition ns any animal In any herd , and but for the test ol tha tuberculin wouH be alive today , propo- gatlng his strain of blood. This was a case where the animal apparently became Im- rauno from the tuberculin without any curatlvo effects , and , In fac * , , curative re- sultn were not sought for In his case. Had ho been killed nt the time of first testing ho might have been found still more- tuber culous , however. The mother of this bull , Fancy Second , 2 years old , weight 900 pounds , a finely bred polled angns , was treated and the results were quite tlgnlflcant. On May 8 , 1891 , she was given 1.76cc. , with a rise of 4.C degrees 1n temperature above normal , Juno 29 , same dose , 4,5 degrees rise ; November 5 , 2.1cc. , 2.8 degrees rise ; November 19 , 3cc. , no rise whatever. On January 28 , 1895 , 2cc. .were given without results ; on February 25 , 1SD5 , 3cc. , with no reaction ; post mor- lomod. CONSUMPTION BACILLUS. In the post mortem of this cow there was wonderful hope for mankind , odd though It may bo to put It so. The consumption bacillus In animals and In human beings Is Identical. You may take an active bacillus from the diseased tissue of a consumptive patient and with It Inoculate an animal with consumption , and you may make human beings tuberculous by the Introduction Into their system of the consumption bacillus of a cow. Under the microscope , colored with an anlllnu pigment which Is particularly of- flnltlve for the bacillus , the same tiny deadly rod appears , no matter where It comes from. When the last named cow was post mortemed after nearly a year of treat ment , no actlvo tuberculosis was found , neither did the microscope show any evi dence of actlvo tuberculosis In the particles of tissue examined , and the only reasonable conclusion that Prof. Hcynolds can come to In his bulletin Is that the cov.- had recovered.

And , as the bacillus which Infests the tlraues of a cow sufferlni ; from consump tion Is absolutely Identical with the bacillus of consumption in a human being , the euro ot the disease In catllo holds splendid hope for * humanity. A bulletin from the above mentioned station Is soon to be issued which will cm- body the sullent points of the Investigations which have been carried on by the velerl- iiarlan of the Institution , Prof. M. II. Rey nolds. It will show some remarkable re sults and Indicates by the success already nttalned that the future work In this line will bo still moro Important. On the farm In connection with the Institution wcro some hlfili bred cattle of various strains. It was determined to begin the work of In vestigation among those cattle to ascer tain , first , U cattle having every advantage In the way of prlmo food , finely ventilated stables and all the health Inducing sur roundings of modern sanitation to mm out U thcso cuttlo were Infected.

And not only wiif , the homo Uwl of cattle tested but herds of line cntllt- and common Jii-rdn 'nil ever the stnto wi-ro tested In the ' name manner und with Iho name results. , During Iho period Prof. Reynolds , ns shown in the bulletin , has made trsts in over 1,100 doimmstrnted the In- wines , und has fully crraucy of the tuberculin. Ilcforo showing some of Iho curative wont which I'os been done , It mny lie well to Klvo a few Instances of Iho usi of thu tuberculin on Iho herd at the station noted. The cattle In every case showed no sign of disease , On llui contrary , they wcro partic ularly sleek , well-groomed , well-rounded , licnlthy-loolclng unlmnls , with never a via- Iblo trace ot Iho terrible disease which hnd fastened itself upon them. Ono instance which occurred a year ngo will Indicate this : A wealthy Rcntlcinun living In a neighboring city , who wai bent on having his chllilrpn roared on milk that was nbove reproach. bought a crack Jersey cow. one with an un blemished piHllKrou and in Iho pink of condi tion. Phu appeared one dny to bo coughing n little , nml Prof. Reynolds wns consulted. He nskod that n test bo made. Tile gentleman - tloman scouted the Idea of his line Jersey having anything serious the matter with her , but the test wcs allowed , she bhowed unmistakable reaction , wn prat-mortomeil nnd found to bo fairly alive with tuber- ctilreU. Of course , It docs not follow that every tuhercuIoiiH cow will carry consump tion to every nno who drinks of her milk , hut U Is boynnd dUpute that when a covv does not respond to the test ami shows that she has nn turuprciilnsls In her system there Is no danggr tn man or habo In the milk from stiflt a cow , while In the cnjo of n tubercu lous cow well , sound icnso would prescribe the only method of action. RECORD OF TREATMENT. Fancy's Dull was the name of ono of the prlmo cattle of the herd , a high-priced polled aiiKus , ono of the best ot his kind. He was KB line n looking animal iia CVIT delighted tlm eyes nt a connoisseur In cattle. He was 1 year old , weighed 700 pounds and was in - nno ccnOltlijn. Hero 1s the main record at tits treatment : From the last named date to Juno 21 , 1S93 , doses were given at eteted Intervals , rnnb'- lug from ono to two cubic centimeters with varying results an to rlsn In temperature. On Juno $ & two cubic centimeters were given without reaction , on July 29 two with the tame rptult , and on AuRUit S the same dose md the same result. Ou the following day thu animal wai poit-mortemed and found There wcro the tolcens ot a disease which had been there In the 'scars of the lesions , a variety ot thcso scars being found In the membrane lining of ti chest , In the lungs and In other places , the scars showing the appearance of having boon healed. A number of college professors and some prominent physicians and veterinarians were present nt this pest mortem and so confident were they that the animal had been cured of all actlvo tuberculosis , that they each took homo with them , had cooked and ate from It portions of the meat of the cow. It will bo of Interest to glvo ono moro example - ample among the many mentioned , which shows the curative work of the treatment. Rose , a shorthorn grade cow , S years old , weighing 1,100 pounds , a perfect animal In appearance nnd showing no possible trace ot disease , was given her flrat test on May 4 , ISO I , receiving two cubic centlmetera of tuberculin. The temperature rose two de grees above normal , showing , unmlstnkably , that tuberculosis wns present. Thereafter , with no reaction following , Injections were given as follows : July 3 , 2cc ; November 5 , 2.2cc ; November 10 , 3cc ; December 3 , S.Dcc ; January 14 , 1S95 , Ice ; February 1CIce. . The dose was steadily Increased , and. after the first one , the temperature did not rise , showing that some change had taken place. When the cow was post-mortemed on the third day after the last named test , It was shown that she had been tuberculous to a limited extent , the diseased portions , now healed since the use of Iho tuberculin , ap pearing In Iho diaphragm and In ono small lobo of the lung. Hut thsro Is still another hopeful phase of the subject. It Is now practically assured that It Is impossible for a person or an animal to have consumption without In BDIIIO way contracting It. It Is n Impossible for a child to Inherit consumption as It Is far It to Inherit typhoid fever. The conditions , the constitution , the general disposition ot ths child of a tuberculous parent may favor con sumption , but , BO those who have made deep study of the problem maintain , unlasu the actual bacillus comes Into the system of the child , consumption must stay out. So It hqa been thought advisable to Isolate the calves from the tuberculous mothers tncso which showed unmistakably by their response to the tuberculin test that they were consump tive nnd who , after the birth of thnlr calves , wcro killed and found tuberculous and then rear those calves , Seventeen sue ! ) calvca , some of them now "yearlings. " have been HO Isolated from their mothers at birth and are now , undergoing the mojt careful scrutiny. The point Is to keep three calves away from the consumptive Influencs of the mothers. . \K a rontilt , only ono out of tliohole Eoven- teen has HO far shown any sign of tu'jercu- loslsi , only ono in.staiice , with all the'Injec tions that have been mode , which , ware tu berculosis present , would bo sure to cau&o the rlE In temperature , Indicating that tu- borculoalj ) wius present. It has been demonstrated , that calves from tuberculous mothers uc-ed not bo killed , bill that they mny be reared In perfect immunity from the ( Unease.

He maintains that It Is thus a physician may diagnose case of consumption long before ho could make any sufflplMit microscopical Invpatlgatlon , an < l It appeara from the remits In curative work which have been attained at thin station , tint tno most dreaded disease of all the centuries must sooner or later suc cumb to the assaults of science , If the wor'v which I'rof , Reynolds has been carryIng - Ing on so patiently and so conservatively shall result In a practical demonstration that not only cattle , but human beluga In the earlier stages may b $ cured of the maU deadly disease of the race- , one of the moat magnificent victories In the history of the human family will Imvo been achieved.

LORD OF THE HEMPEN REALM Thrilling Features of the Lifo of Blondin , the Famous Hope Walker. DISPLAYS OF DAUNTLESS COURAGE Itecollccllnn * nt ( lie Mnii Cnrrlptl on ill's Uncle Across XliiKiirn'H ire 3iirv ! lniin I'crform- IIIIL-CM I2lHC\vlicrCi Charles Blondtn , the once famous rope walker , died In London a few days ago The announcement was a surprise to moa people , because Blondin had so completely dropped out of public notlco that tew knew of his being In the land of the living as late as February 21. Ho passed away on the 22d , agctl 73. To men of middle ago the daring deeda o ! Blondin are familiar. Twenty , thirty and oven forty years ago Blondln's nauia whs a household word. Ho came over to this country with the celebrated Ilavcl family and took a now name , perhaps because his own ( Gravelo ; waa too much like theirs. "Blondin" being chosen because of the color of his hair , It Is said. Ho was famous as u nope walker be fore ho stretched his rope , 1.100 feet long , over the gorge of Niagara , and 165 feet above the river. Before that feat the lamoua per former in connection with cataracts was Sam Patch , who lost his llfo In leaping from the Gcneseo falls , 125 feet high , and Blondln's project was regarded as quite sure to end In tha same fashion. 'But ho accomplished II successfully In June , 1S59 , and more than 30 ( times afterward. Ho played all manner of gymnastic tricks In the course of these per formances wheeling a barrow , throwing somersaults , carrying a. man on bis back , walking on stilts and wrapping his head and shoulders In a blanket. Ono must admire the nerve of the man who Intrusted his life to Blondin , who not only carried him across safely , but set him down six times on the way across. Blondin walltcd hla ropes In many parts of the world and had many nar row escapee sometimes these "escapes" were deliberate sensational devices to heighten public Interest. Ills especial pride was In his Niagara feats and he called his homo In the London suburb of Baling "Niagara Villa. " THE NIAGARA FEAT. Harry M. Colcord , the man who was thrice carried by Bloudln on his back across Ni agara Falls on a tight rope , Is now a resi dent of Chicago. He has been a portrait painter hero for ton years past and Is now gray , of ulendor but athletic build , full ol nervous energy and has the look of a man of determination In his face. This man was brought up an athlete , and for some tlmo prior to this event , great In the sporting world , ho had played the part of Harlequin , In pantomimes. "Blondln's ambition was , " said Mr. Col- qprd,1' speaking of the marvelous feat , "to go across the falls and not across the river. His Idea was to anchor one end of the repeat at Goat Inland , with the ( old Terrapin tower , long since removed , as the support on the American side , and then to extend the rope across the iHorscshoo Falls , through the mist of Table Hock , where it would be securely anchored on the Canadian side. A.Mr. Porter was the owner of the land and ho would not give his consent. He thought the performance entirely too fool hardy. We worked a whole year to get the rope fixed in that way , but failed in the end. Perhaps It was wise that our efforts resulted fruitlessly , for the mist would have been sure to effect the rope to our Jeopardy. Finally we put the rope about halt way be tween the old bridge and Niagara Falls , across White's pleasure grounds. There It was that wo made our first ascension , and I took my first perilous ride on Bloudln's back. AN UNFORESEEN DANGER. "By the way , there was a little Incident connected with that great event of my life of which these who saw It and road about It know nothing. The guy ropes were not pro tected when we made our first crossing. The people Trad access to them , and as there were large sums of money staked on the out come the temptation to pull these ropes by these betting against Blondin was very great. In the middle of the rope there was i space of forty feet not supported by guy lines. I had to dismount three times from Blondln's shoulders and stand on the rope with my hands touching on his shoulders bpforo we reached this spot. This rope was strung 275 feet over the river and was 1,900 feet in length , and neither of us know the ictlon of that forty feet without the guy llnrs. Blondin had crossed the river before , but not with any weight. It was the man on his back that gave the aflair Its great Import. Blondin said to me : "Harry , what ever I do In crossing that forty feet , don't you do anything. Sit perfectly passive on my back. Just be dead. Don't try to bal ance while I am walking on that space. ' "When Blondin had walked over ten feet of that forty with mo on his back he sud denly lost his balance. Ho could not recover - cover It. Ho started to run on one side of : ho rope clear to the first guy line , a dls- anco of thirty feet. No sooner did his foot .ouch the guy line than It broke and ho hade o run to the next one another twenty 'eet. When ho got there he caught his lalance and said to me , 'Got off quick. ' I llsmountcd and stood there quietly , with my lands lightly touching his shoulders until ho got ready to go on. SOME ONE PULLED"THE GUY ROPE. "Now hero's the meaning of Blondln's uirry : Ho had not got half way across the rope before ho was aware that somebody was pulling tbo guy lino. Ho didn't say one word to me about It , for If ho had , as euro as I am alive today , I should , have been scared to death. This Incident shows his ; oolncEs. Ho expected that every guy line 10 would pass would bo pulled In tills way and that ho would lose his balance every Ime ho reached ono of these lines. I never [ Jrcamcd that under the circumstances any nan could bo guilty of such n dastardly act us that. Before wo reiched. the fchoro I llsmountcd seven times and It took us tulrty- Ive imlnutes to get across. There must have been fully 200,000 spectators along the banks and they were actually lost In admiration of ho feat. Not a muscle twitched on any of .heir faces. I never saiv a lot of human jclngs BO Intently absorbed In ono man's act. There was a. largo risk In landing.'but when wo got sf > near ttiut wo could bo reached , by George , they literally snatched us baldhcadcd. " Ono of the .poets.

His career has never been equalled or ap preached by any other performer on th rope , and the nerve which saved him fron accident for more than half a century wa the subject of Investigation and admlratlo of more than one medical society. As a Illustration of this quality the followln anecdote 4s quoted from Ca-ssoll's Magazine "A feat that Blondin couldn't rehearse wa performed at tbo Zoological gardens , Liver pool. Ho bad given an afternoon perform nnco there and was to perform again In th evening. During the interval between th performances some one suggested playfull that It would bo a flno thing for him to tak a lion ncrcws.

So a line was attached to the barrow to keep It In check and the end o this was retained by an attendant on the platform at the masthead. " A THRILLINGEPISODE. . "On walked Blondin , .trundling his loai before him , which must have been doubly difficult owing to his hands being fully en gaged steadying himself with his pole , when through some stupid bungling on the part of the Individual who had charge of the line , the latter lot It slip out of his hands. An ex clamation of horror and surprlso rang through the assembled masses , who , on this occasion , were said to number 100,00. The excitement now became Intense , and those who had taken up positions Immediately under the rope or hawssr betook themselves to less dangerous places , as every one anticipated that the hero of this story would be precipitated , together with his comrade In danger , to mother earth. The wheelbarrow , deprived of Its chock , hurried onward at a tcrrlflo pace , down , down the Incline of rope with frightful rapidity. The line that had been let go became entangled In the top most branches of some trees , whither It had fallen. The worst fears were now enter tained , as It appeared evident that on the line becoming taut Blondin would bo either Jerked oft the hawser or prevented from reaching his destination the opposite mast- liead. The excitement at thU stage was painful In the extreme , every one being as silent as the grave , tho'destruction ' of this daring fellow being apparent and Inevitable. Blondin , however , remaining motionless fern n short time , like a statue In the elements , jegan to move slowly backwards ; cheer after cheer arose from the vast concourse at this movement , and a feeling of relief settled upon nil , and gave place to admiration at : ho splendid style In which ho completed his extremely difficult backward Journey. After a brief rest Blondin set out again with 'Tom Sayers , ' and accomplished the feat tie had undertaken without a hitch. " IlncUllii'H Arnlcii Snlvp.

Ailvlco Tlint "Would He ITMoful to n YOIIIIK Mnn In Any Stntluii. It Is an old saying among schoolboys am ! college men that the fellow who keeps his mouth ehut Is always the big1 man ; that ho who deliberately says llttlo quickly wins for ilmself the name for wisdom. Such stato- ncnts are quite as true In the outer world tea a certain degree fcs they ore In college am ! school. The pith of the rriatter , says Har per's Hound Table , Is that If In any way you irrlvo nt a position of a'ny Importance , the ess you talk to everyone the more credit you reserve for care , for thoughlfulncsa , for bound , well-considered opinions. Hero Is lothliiR which urges a boy to have ) no opln- ons or to never cxtiress them ; and. In fact this "wlsa silence" at school and college aa iften , perhaps , covers up an empty mind as t does the wisdom of Solomon. There Is , lowuver , a good rule to follow , which may bo given briefly , to the cffcpt fhat it Is well to say little until you have thoroughly made up your mind , and then not to hesitate In your statements. The temptation of the average nan Is to express some' opinion at once , but f that is changed later the full force of the final opinion is lost. Let others do the wrangling. Your opinion vlll have all the moro influence If you como out strong with it at the close of the discus sion , when not only aro'theothers , consider ably in doubt as to what'they do want , but you have also had the advantage of hearing n.uiy sides of the case. That la to say , that In your dally behavior oward the others In school It is well to keep your "talk" In reserve. It Is a habit easily acquired , and one that in the end works both vaya. It adds both to the value of your ad- ice , because the advlco is better consid ered , and it gives the advlco an added value o far as others are concerned because whwi ou only say a llttlo that llttlo has the more onsldoratlon , In the course of athletic games there arc wo ways of treating friends and opponents. ) no way Is as easy as another , for both are nerely habits. Many a good chap nt base ball or foot ball Is constantly grumbling vhcnover the umpire or rofcree gives a de- lelon. Ho objects to the decision on prin ciple ; ho goes back to his place In the field criticising the partisanship of the olllclal and makes himself uncomfortable as well aa dis agreeable to the umpires and the other teams.

For twenty-five years it has been held up to the physician and the people as the standard emulsion of the world , and it is as much and more the standard to-day as it was a quarter of a century ago.
