THE TYPHOID ANTITOXINE, The water in Toronto has become so 'bad, so conducive to typhoid fever, 'that the medical health officer has recommended 'that it be 'boiled when used for domestic purposes. Typhoid is one of the commonest 'and most - serious ailments inthis country, and because such is the case it is remarkable that an antitoxine has not been found and oné of un- doubted uscfulness. Last: year the director of the Jemner 'Tnstitute, in London, Dr. Allen Mac- Fadyen, reported that he had made a discovery. By crushing the mierosco- pic cells of the typhoid baccilus in liquid air---to freeze and so render them brittle--the intercellular juices were obtained apart from their living organism, These juices were hold to be highly toxic, but; shy injecting 'them in small repeated doses into a vigorous living animal its blood serum was rendered both bactericidal and antotoxic, that is to say, it becamd an antidote alike to living typhoid bacteria and to the poison that can be extracted there from. ~ Thus the intense cold of liquid air, which is quite incapable of killing bacteria, has proved to kb the inter: mediary step to circumventing their malign activity, simply by rendering them brittle. ond announcement as to the dis- covery, however, nothing has bveny heard of the typhoid antitoxine, and the conclusion is that it is not avail- able for general use. And the more's the pity, -- FRENCH AND ENGLISH VALOUR. {The opposition members in "the Commons are terribly anxious to pose as loyalists. They have given expres- sion to several passionate outbursts, and the last occasion for it was the discussion of the new militia bill. The point under' debate was the sending of the militia out of Canada without the consent of parliament. It came up during the South African war when it was deemed expedient to tender the British government the ser- liament had not contemplated such situation was ur- gent and the government finally act- all, the ibility and to parliament later. The new militia bill has been so amended that the onus for action 'will rest upon the government. Of course, the opposition had to work off some of its fireworks. Mr. Barker, for instance, rebuked Mr. Lavergne, of Montmagny, because he laughed when some reference was made to the British subjects. Mr. Lavergne replied : "If the British flag is still hero in Canada, and you can keop your two hands on it, it is due to the ion of the French-Canadians in in 1812, and honourable necessary defence of Canada. than we There was loud applause af this, He was quite willing to admit all men of Ontario had fought for their Tes keep bis nerve he if Fh t act was invented.

He had the nerve, the one essential, ac- cording to our contemporary, but he had not the experience. Had he seen as much of life and the tricks of the caucus as Dr. Clarke he would have refused to perform on a rickety in cline. Recently the inventor of the "loop-the-gup," was in Brooklyn. The incline got wet and the rubber tires of the bicycle slipped sideways after he started. "I was a third of the way down," he said, "going at full speed, and within three inches of the edge hefore the tires got a grip and held on. I got through all right, but it illustrates the difficulty of get: ting an understudy." The things that look easy, that are accomplished with such grace and precision, require long practice. The French acrobats, Ancilotti, have a new act, looping -the-gap, involving new perils to life. The three men do it, but none of them, said a friend, is called a brave man. With cach skill "eliminates most of the risk."

Berlin, Aug. 3.--A dramatic incident occurred while the German crown prince was riding at the head of his company of the 1st Regiment of Gre- nadier Guards at Potsdam. While the horses were at a canter a smartly dressed girl of distinguished appearance, carrying a baby on her arm, threw herself in front of the crown prince's horse. The crown prince promptly checked his horse to avoid trampling on her prostrate body, and the whole company was brought tga sudden halt. The girl thereupon assumed an at- titude of supplication, and the paige dismounting from his horse, gently raised her, and inquired what was the cause of her strange behaviour. She was in a state of agitation bordering on hysterics, but was able to explain that she was the friendless orphan of a German officer who died wearing the emperor's uniform, and that a courtier whom she named, had betrayed and deserted her, leaving her destitute. In desperation at the prospect of her. child dying of starvation, she had been driven to appeal to the only member of the imperial family within reach. The prince promised to report the incident to the emperor, and wmesn- while. had the lady placed under the protection of the local pastor's wife. ---------- She Died At The Age Of 104.
