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

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.

the tlraues of a cow sufferlni ; from consump

of consumption in a human being , the euro
ot the disease In catllo holds splendid hope
for * humanity.
A bulletin from the above mentioned

RECORD OF TREATMENT.

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

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.

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. "

anecdote 4s quoted from Ca-ssoll's Magazine
"A feat that Blondin couldn't rehearse wa
performed at tbo Zoological gardens , Liver

to prevent U from runMnfi away with ! iln

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

his extremely difficult backward Journey.
After a brief rest Blondin set out again
with 'Tom Sayers , ' and accomplished the feat

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

wcro sportsmanllkci l crltlcUo In the mlds
of a gamean umpire properly chosen , h
would , no doubt , maintain In strong term
tli.it such criticism was the most tinsporU
manltko thing possible , * ntl then ho wouli
promptly deny that ho ever made such crltl
clstn. Yet there are many such , and It I
unfortunately ono of the most common sight
at a school athletic field today to nnd th
two teams wrangling with the umpire eve
a decision he has made , nnd this , too , aftc
ho has been asked ten minutes before ti
decide all such questions for them. H Is oul ;
another form of the same lack of hnblt ti
courteous behavior , and It causes most of tin
hard feeling between schools nnd college :
today.
So ono might go on by the hour speaking
ot the different questions In school and college
lego llfo which arc examples of lack o
behavior of the most ordinary kind , bni
the root of the matter Is that each boy shouU
say to himself tlmt ho will bo constantlj
reserved that ho will wait for the propel
moment to speak nnd net , nnd that ho wll
then net vigorously If he Is convinced the
tlmo has come.
