4 STRANGE DISEASE AND SEVERE OPERA
Trox-Manr of our readers will smile when
we say that there i disease called in
common parlance 1.-The matches disease.
Very few among the thousands or millions
who light their lamp, their pipe or their
cigar with a lucifer match, are aware OF
the fact that those who Manufacture. and
those who use these matches are Liable TO
contract one of the most dreadful of dis
eases We quote from the New York
.Sun:
Quite recently young woman. who
worked in n match ,nanutactory, was sent
TO the Bellevue Hospital TO have an under
law removed, which had become diseased
T. inhaling the phosphoiic ac,d used in
the factory The oneration was skilliully
performed and the young woman, aIrer
some time, went from the hospital perfect
ly cured She had however a decayed
tooth in one of her upper jaws, and re-
turning to her old business OF match ma
king she soon contracted aaew the dis
ease, and finally died OF it.
Another instance OF this Match disease
came under our observation Yesterday AT
the Bellevue Hospital. a young girl who
has worked in a match factory, had her
left upper jaw, which had become diseas-
ed. removed 10y the surgeons OF the estab-
lishment, in presence Of some of our most
eminent physicians. Dr. Mott, Jr., and
DIR. Church performed the operation, in
presence of a large number of the faculty
DR.. Mott, Sr, and DR. Francis being pres
ent and assisting with their advice.
The Young woman was brought into the
operating room, or theatre, ana placed un-
der the influence OF ether When she, had
become perfectly iusensibie, the cheek
was cut open from the chin to the ear,
and the diseased jaw cut out The roots
of the disease were followed and cut out,
and the blood vessels carefully tied up.
Before the operation was completed she
returned to consciousness, and her erie s
while the check was being sewed up were
aooniling Several left the room, but the
doctors continued their work with the
utmost impassiveuess. The portion Of the
jaw removed was, as one OF the spectators
remarked, perfectly rotten
We learned from the physicians that
the disease is quite common among those
who work in match factories and that 1t
is dangerous for any one who has diseased
teeth to be employed in the manufacture
of lucifer matches They also state that
the disease NAV be contracted by those
who have diseased teeth by lighting CT
oars or a pipe with luciters, and inhaling
the phosphoric which Is liberated by their
ignition. 1t is well for people to under
stand this fact and, as the Doctors say II
a nerson has a diseased tooth, he or she
should have it removed at once, and thus
escape all danger of the match disease

question so fraught with interest to peo-

Science OF MILKING Cows-lt isa matter
of great Importance that the milk should
all be drawn from the cows udder. Care
full experiments made in England show,
according to report recently published,
that 1.-The quantity Of cream obtained from
the last drawn cup from most COWS, ex-
ceeds that of the first in proportion of
twelve to one" Thus person who care
lessly leaves but a teacup full Of milk un-
drawn, loses in reality about as much cream
as would be afforded by four or six pints
at tho beginning; and loses, too, that part
of the cream which gives the flchnea and
high favor to the butter.

Origin of the HaNOIe..

The Emperor Napoleon III said in bis
proc!a amatioIi: The new rife arms are Oh
IL dangerous at a distance; they wili hot
prevent the bayonet from being as hereto
lore the terrible arm OF the French infan-
try" The bayonet is, i'll fact, an arm pc.
cul:arlv French. 1t was invented, it is
said ct Bayo..ne in l64l; and employed in
1870 in the regiment of the Kings Fusi.
lier-. II sens:bly modified the system Of
military art ia Europe, as it made cavalry
less ,edoubtable TO infantry, and caused
the FIRE CT lines of battle tv cease 70 be re.
garded as the principal means OF action.
The bayonct has, in fact, become the deci-
sive arm Of the combat. According to
local tradition, j. was in small hamlet IN
the enyirons of Bayonnc that this arm WAS
invented. What led TO the invention OF It
was. that in n s.erce combat between some
Basque peasants and some Spanish sni"g-
glers the former having exhausted Their
ammunition, and being thereby at disad-
vantage, fastened their long knives 10
their muske,s and by means Of the wea'
pon so formed put their enemies 10 flight
This arm rapidly came il 10 geneysi use IN
Europe. After the King regiment seve-
raj others were provided with ;he tayo-
net. and the dragons received II III 1870
In 1913. AT the time of the peace OF ; !lne-
guen, all the French erenad!e.s had the
bayonet. but the socket, which makes the
use Of II SO easy, was not invented until
later period. An unsuccessful experiment
with the socket was made before Louis
XIV, in loss, but the want Of uniformity
in the Inuske;s was then an obstacle to the
adoption Of this simple and etiicacious
piece of mechanism. Bayonets at that
time We're sort of dagger, of which the
handle was placed in the Hluzzle OF the
nlusset, and OF course prevented the mus
kct from being fired. The first battle at
which the bayonet was seriously employed
was that of Turin in l692; but it was not
until the battle OF Spires in 1903 that the
first charse Of the bayonet was executed
After that epoch up to 1872, the bayonet
was often employed in combat, and the
Prince de Ligne called it peculiarly
French arm, owing to the manner III
which our soldiers used it; but the real va
lue Of it was not revealed until the wars Of
national independence Then the bayoaet
really became French arm. The bullet
is wild, said Suwaroti, but the bayo onet -

DESCENT OF A. INNESsE MErEoRic BopY
a TOUCH sToRY-On Wednesday (yoster-
day. morning the inhabitants Of the towns
% Boylston and Redte!d IN this county,
were startled by the occurrence O. most
remarkable phenomenon-a descent from
the heavens Of al immense meteoric mass.
The body struck the earth between the
hours OF 3 and t 4. NJ. with crash that
WAS truly terrific, ard the shock was sem
sibly felt and the people aroused from
their sleep at distance of FIVE miles from
the scene. The body fell upon the farm Of
l!oracn Sanger. situated on the line Of
Boy!eston and Redtield, striking in mea-
dow and partially on a highway. 1t is
estimated by our informant 10 cover abou:
half an acre Of land The earth was torn
in terrible manner ana large fragments
we're thrown distance of two-thirds Of q
mile. The mass is very irregular in
shape. ard rises nj some points to sixty
and eighty feet i'll height, and is supposed
- be inIbeddcd in the earth as many feet.
The surface generally has the appearance
Of iron ore. The excitement occasoned "
the event among the inhabitants was iu-
tense. and the crash is said to be terrific
beyond description. Many supposed that
