Origin Of Tubercular Consumption.

In 1855 Dr. MacCoFmac presented a
theory in regard TO tubercular disease of
the lungs, or consumption, in which he
maintained that this disease is caused
solely by breathing air which has already
passed through the lungs of man or other
animals, (oF otherwise, air that is def
cient in oxygen the inhalation of air al
ready respired being accompanied by the
retention of unoxidized carbon, within
the body of the organism. This effete
matter he considers to be the starting
point in the tubercle. He does not think
that it forms the tubercle itself, but con-
stitutes the poison from which tubercu-
lar disease takes its origin. His deduc-
tion from this is to the effect that the
greatest care must be taken to secure an
ample supply of fresh air, especially in
cases where numbers of persons are
obliged, by cold weather or other causes,
to occupy a limited space together, and
in which proper provision for con-
slant supply of fresh air has not been
made. He believes that the predominance
of tubercular disease in northern lati-
tudes is not due to tendency in the cli-
mate itself to produce this condition, but
to the greater liability to huddling to-
gether for purposes of warmth, although
it is probable that diseased condition or
irritation of the lungs in such cases may
increase the modification of the poison
GUS material. Where, in consequence of
the mildness Of the climate, persons are
induced to live great deal out of doors,
or where the houses are not closed up to
such degree as to exclude the external
air or prevent its free passage, this dis
ease becomes comparatively unknown.
He, indeed, encourages open windows
and draughts of air, especially at night,
the body be well covered.

There IS a beautiful song on the slnnbrOuS air,
That drifts through the valley of dreams;
II comes from a CLINE where the roses were,
And a tuneful heart and light brown hair,
That waved i'm the summer beams.
Soft eyes Of aznre, and eyes Of brown,
And snow white f0reheads are there,
A gl1mmeE1nR cross and d gIftfGring crown,
"A th0rny bed and ecI1ch OF down,
= Lost hopes and leaflets OF prayer.
A breath of spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet watts from the Quivering pines,
Blue violet eyes beneath green hoods,
A bubble of brooklets, sceht of buds,
Bird MARBLES and clambering vines.
A rosy wreath and dimpled hand,
A ring and sighted VOW,
Three golden links of broken band,
n tiny track on the snow white sand,
A tear and a sfnleSs brow. s@ e.
There's tincture OF grief in the beautiful song
That Sobs ON the slumbrous air,
And loneliness felt in the festive throng,
Sinks down on the soul as Ii tr6mbleS along
From a CLINE where the roses were.
We heard it first at the dawn of day,
And it mingled with matin chimes,
But years have distanced the beautiful Law,
And its melody howeth from far away,
And we can it now "Old Times"

recommended the proceedings 10 divorce.
while Mrs. Bruner was 10 California, the
children, by direction Of the father, we're taken
away from Mrs. HappeTsett, and taken to the
Doctors brothers in BeFks county. On the re-
turn of Mis- Bruner to Chester county she
found what had been done with the children
WherenpOn she proceeded to the residence of
Mr.. Isaac b. Bruner and demanded the chill
dren as hers. She was at first refused, but upOr
her declaring she would use forcibls means the
children were turned over to her. Drawing 4
revolver and laying it on the table before her
she said These are my children aud will
shoot the first man that steps between me anC
them Mr.. Druner came 10 West Chester and
Issued writ Of habeas corpus asking that III I

came up before Judge Butler on Wednesday

TIE SHREw.-Ths shFeW is an unfortunate
animal, which is the victim Of popular dislike
and superstition. It is said TO have the pow
er Of laming horses and cattle by merely run
ming over the hoOi; and the belief is that the
only thing to cure the injured animal is the
leaves Of a shreW-ash applied to the woun-
ded part; shreW-Ssh being an ash tree in tht
trTnk of which an opening has been made, ans
q living shrew- mouse enclosed therein. For
Inarly every village green could boast OF IL
shFeW-ash; but they have now almost entirely
disappeared, although the suPerslitious belief in
the disease for which lis leaves were supposed
T. be a remedy still remains in the minds of the
people. The origin ofthis curious idea II pro
bably to be found in the fact that the shreW,
mouse exhales peculiar odOr, SO penetrating
and disagreeable TO cattle, that they refuse Il
drink from a vessel which a shrew-mOuse hai
been resting upon.
