Eleven months after Miss Beverldge obtained a divorce through her guardian a she was too young to appear personally In the divorce courts. She then took up her residence in a little house in East Seventeenth street, New York, a house which is said to be a converted stable and which is unique outside and in, but paitieularly inside. Here Miss Beverldge lias stored treasures in curios and brlc-a-brac, and here she works upon a piece of clay whose narnrie one minute is mud, and whose name the next minute bears that of one of the heroes of the world. Miss Beverldge has been lately reported engaged to James G. a report which neither will affirm or deny.

By a strange irony of fate the young man is the same who was reported at one time engaged to be married to Kaiulani; and so the princess, deprived of love and life, is literally given over into the hands of her living rival. covcry an important part of his investigation and will attempt to fathom the mystery, to learn if possible if the difficulty of infection on the part of women is due to natural causes or to some peculiarity in their manner of life. Dr. Koch will leave Berlin within the next two weeks, accompanied by eminent scientists from various parts of Europe and America. The party will first go to the southern part of Europe, where the malarial sections, especially those' of Italy and Greece, will be thoroughly examined.

For many months he has been making a study of these parts of Europe and he has already determined the fact that the dreaded Roman and Campagna fevers are identical in cause and general character with those of east Africa. The expedition will then proceed to Africa, and the next two years will be spent in making an exhaustive study of malaria at the deadliest fever districts. No expedition that has left Europe in many years has excited as much interest as the departure of this company of scientists upon their voyage to the east, for those who have made a careful study of the experiments of Dr. Koch are confident that he will succeed in his undertaking, and that the world is on the eve of a decisive victory over this whole group of maladies which have been the curse of so manv portions of the globe.

But upon consideration, and when her love for and so talented' should not have known all the experiences of the world; and Miss beveridge, beautiful, gifted and versatile found her way upon the stage in Charles Coghlan's company. Of course the inevitable happened. Miss Beverldge and Mr.

Coghlan married in 1893 when she was AN OLD HEN. At Quinc.y, a hen was buried which had reached the age of almost .20. when taken at the proper time would operate quickly for the good or the patient, he does not hesitate to express the opinion that the indiscriminate use of this drug as a prophylactic in malarial countries is attended with great danger, and, in many cases, is the direct cause of the pernicious "black water" fever, one of the most virulent forms of malarial disease. The very common practice of persons going from temperate? to tropical countries of saturating their systems with quinine, taken in irregular and often excessive doses, is condemned most vigorously. In the lirst place such a method of treatment seriously weakens the action of the heart, and second, when the system becomes used to the drug it fails to respond to the quinine treatment when it is necessary as a remedy in case of actual sickness.

In other the efficiency of the drug having been exhausted as a preventive, it has no longer any important value as a remedy, ami his experience lias shown that persons debilitated by the excessive use of quinine may take malarial fever and die of it as quickly, if not Dr. Robert Koch, tlie eminent German bacteriologist, is now preparing to undertake another expedition to the tropics where he will continue his investigations of the malarial fevers. In 1SS3 Dr. Koch, who is at the head of the German cholera commission, made his first visit to Egypt, and the result of his experiments and investigations at that time were so satisfactory in their nature that he has been repeatedly urged to conclude his study of these ills of humanity. Last year lie visited the German east African coast, and now he has decided to go once more to Egypt and India.

To aid him in the carrying out of his investigations into the nature and origin of these diseases, the German reichstag has made an appropriation of C0.O0O marks, and the medical profession of the world is confident that the publication of the result of his studies will be of incalcu-Jable benefit to humanity. It is probable that no better man could be found to carry out sucli a line of investigation. For many years lie lias been identified with bacteriological studies, and his discoveries in this branch of research have made him famous in every Dart of the world. His discovery of the PACKED SNOW. Washington Star: "To those housekeepers who frequently make ice cream and frozen custards, now is the time for them to prepare to put up snow for future use," remarked a lady to a Star reporter.

"For the past three weeks I have made all the creams and custards I have used i more easily than anyone else.

While Dr. Koch has not completed his investigations, he has accomplished enough to enable him to enlighten the world as to the nature of the experiments lie lias made and the result that he hopes to attain. One of the most important of the facts that he has established is that the malarial fevers are often communicated to man by the mosquito, who, gathering the poison in the swamps, willi a single thrust of its probe injects it into the veins of its victim.

Dr. Koch was led to these investigations by his study of the Texas fever in cattle. This disease, he found, was transferred from herd to herd through the agency of a parasite or tick that was common in that part of the country. Malarial fever in man and Texas fever in cattle have many points in similarity, and it was not long before lie arrived at we do not have any more snows. Snow is much easier to use in freezers than ice and freezes much more rapidly, not requiring one-fourth the quantity of salt.

My plan of putting up snow is to pack it in barrels. There is no expense about it, except the barrels, and most cellars have enough barrels to furnish the facilities for securing all the snow that can be use l. Of course there has been no occasion to use barrels this week, for the snow was plenty enough. The indications are also that there will be more snows, but to be on the safe side, I have a half dozen extra barrels ready. If well packed the snow will keep six weeks or more during the weather we usually have in February and March, but if there are to be no more snows and it only lasted a month that much would be gained or saved in the way of being able to save the expense of ice.

The barrels containing the stock of snow should be placed in the yard, not in the cellar, and, if possible, on the shady side of the yard and as near the fence as possible, so as to cut off wind drafts that carry with them the hot air. There should ing have been greatly improved auring the past ton years, is due largely to the increased and indiscriminate use of quinine, a fact that is due to its greater cheapness and the ease with which it can be obtained. In some of his results, however. Dr. Koch does not obtain the support of all physicians, as for instance, in the method of treatment suggested.

In his experiments he has found that arsenic lias been a more successful remedy than quinine, but his advocacy of the arsenia treatment lias aroused great opposition in all part of the country, with the exception of Germany, where the preference for the use of this drug lias long been a peculiarity of that school of medicine. Dr. Koch insists upon the correctness of his method of treatment, however, and adds that upon his return from his next expedition lie will be able to present evidence that will compel even his most vigorous opponents, the physicians of tho the conclusion that the mosquito was United States, to admit that he was right performing the same infection upon hu- in his assertions. be tons on them, and a counle of davs man beings as did the ticks on the cattle Another interesting fact discovered by after the first filling, when they have Dr. Koch is that women stand exposure settled down, they should be repacked to a malarial climate far better than and pounded down.
