TYPHOID FEVER. IAN English scientist
claims to have discovered one of the causes of
typhoid fever. A family in his neighborhood
was attacked with a severe type of the fever.
On a careful search of the premises spout in
the family pump was found to be covered
with a sort of gelatinous matter. Submitting
this to microscopic investigation it was found
to be a fungoid growth, from which spores
were constantly washed away by the flowing
water. He followed up this. discovery by a
minute examination Of the outlet Of the sewer
through which the drainage of the town
flowed, and his scientific zeal was rewarded
by finding fungoid growths of asimilar nature
to those in the pump spout. In the vicinity
of this outlet the fever had also prevailed
Having cases Of the fever in his own family
he followed up his inquiry by chemical
analysis of the water drank by the family, and
found in It minute spores of the same fun
gus. His conclusion is that the fever had its
origin in the fungus matter taken into the
system where It fsrnents as yeast in beer and
poisons the blood.

MoLEs.--M. Flourens and other French
naturalists have experimenteds with moles to
ascertain their true habits. It has been
found that they will starve to death In pres
ence of abundant vegetable food, refusing to
touch it, but that they win greedily devour
cutworms, earthworms, mice, and even small
birds, when nearly starving In an Enclosed jar.
Of the birds they only devoured the inside
but they devourcd Unfortunately their own
weight each day Of snails, insects, Larvae,
crysalides, caterpillars ladders, glow-worms
and lizards. Mr.. Carl Vost relates an in
stance of land proprietor in France who
destroyed every mole upon his property.
The next season his fields were ravased with
cutworms and his crops totally destroyed.
He then purchased moles OF his neighbors and
stocked his fields, and afterward preserved
them as his best friends.

are, DEAR said Mrs. Black How dare you

desperation, rose from his chair and rushed
from the room, with clcnched fist, shout

The DelusiOns Of Drink.

There are men who honestly believe
that alcoholic drink is good for them,
yet there is no one of them who would
touch it except as prescribed medi-
cine if it were not for its pleasant taste.
The delusion touching its healthfulness
grows out of the desire to justify an ap-
petite which may either be natural or
acquired. If man likes whisky or
wine he likes to think that it is good
for him, and he will take some pains to
prove that it is so, both to himself and
others. Now, alcohol is pure stimuli
liant. There is not SO much nutriment
in it as there is in chip. 1t never
added anything to the permanent forces
of life, and never can add anything. Its
momentary intensifcation of force is a
permanent abstraction of force from the
drinkers capital stock. All artificial
excitements bring exhaustion. The
physicians know this, and the simplest
mans reason is quite capable OF COM
pretending it. If any man supposes
that daily drink, even in small quaint
ties, is conducive to his ealth, he is
ded.-Scribner's.

A New Kind of Crusading.

The st. Louis Globe has letter from
Mount Vernon, ILL.,, which gives an ac-
count of new kind of crusading prac-
ticed in that town. Mrs. S. s. Wilson,
accompanied by her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Thomas Watson, went to Shepherds
drug store and demanded prescription
upon which her husband had procured
liquor. Mr.. Shepherd being absent,
his clerk told her that she would have
to see DR.. Porter and get him to revoke
the prescription. Mrs. Wilson, regard
ing this an evasion, drew a revolver
from her muff, told the clerk that if he
didn't give up the prescription she
would Blow his brains out, and pre-
sented her pistol at his head in state
of great excitement. A parley was had,
however, and Mrs. Wilson was finally
induced to call on DR.. Porter, which she
did with her drawn weapon, and OBJ
tanned his speedy revocation of the pre-
scription. The ladies then marched to
Jehnson's saloon and Shepherds
drug store, and with presented arms
gave them their orders. after which they
went home, much to the relief of all the
doctors and saloonists Of the town.
