The Cholera a Periodical Epidemic

The year 1855 marks the recognition
of periodically returning twelve-yearly
epidemics, connected with the great
twelve-yearly Hindoo festivals at the
great temples. The great twelve-yearly
epidemics of 1855, 1853, and 1881, have
been well described by Paisley and 9th
ers. Three times twelve, or thirtysix
years subsequently, the great historical
epidemic of 1917 occurred. This cpl
demic and that of 1881 were distinctly
Juggernaut pilgrim choleras. In 1926
the first indications of another pestilence
appeared in the north of India; epidemic
cholera broke out at Hurdwar: the great
place of pilgrimage at the source of the
Ganges, where it first issues from the
foot of the Himalaya mountains. A few
hundred thousand pilgrims go to Hurd-
war every year; more every third year
still more every sixth and ninth years,
and fully 100000 assemble every
twelfth year, and vaster number every
sixtieth year. The cholera of 1926 was
carried all over the world. In New Or
leans alone, out of a population of 3d..
900, 5000 died. The last great twelve.
yearly epidemic commenced in India in
1866, and reached the United States in
1866. If this periodical theory is cor.
rect, the next cholera epidemic will be q
Juggernaut one in 1877, supplemented
by Hurdwar cholera in 1879; although
the constant intercourse of Russia with
central Asia may be the means of intro
ducing lesser epidemic into Europe
But in 1877 and 1879 we may expect al
outburst of the disease, such as there
was in 1871 and 1888, 1877 and 1919
1929 and 1881, 1841 and 1843, 1853 ant
1856, and 1865 and 1867.-AppIetonS

An Honest Fellow.

There is cozy room opening from
the great dining-room of the Verplanck
homestead on the Hudson, which
Baron Stuben, during the revolutionary
war, used for his library. The antique
shelves remain, and the decorations are
all of the century gone. One day Wash
ington, Knox, Hamilton, and Morris had
been dining with the baron, and retired
to this apartment for confidential wall
over the miserable state of the treasury.
Morris was complaining bitterly.
Are you not fnancier why dc
you not continue to create funds 2" said
the baron.
Il have done all I can it is impossi-
BILE to do MORE" replied Morris.
But you still remain fnancier with.
out finances 2"
" Yes"
Well, then, 1 do not think you
are so honest man as my cook. He
came to me one day and said Baron
you have nothing to cook but piece Of
lean beef which is hung up by a string
before the fire. Your negro wagner
can turn the string as well as I yor
have promised me ten dollars month
but, as you have nothing to cook, wisl
to be discharged and no longer be charge
able to YOU That was an honest fellow

No Nonsense in the Dark.

A young man living in Utica, N. Y,
came near suffering dearly for bit of
amusement few nights ego. A friend
was going to his home on Corn hill
about midnight. The young man saw
him coming by the light of street lamp.
The young man, as his friend approach
ed him in the dark, raised his hand and
exclaimed: CHOW I've got youp'
Quick as fash pistol was drawn, and
the steel barrel almost touched the nose
of the joker. He lost no time in making
himself known to the owner of the pis-
toll, and few moments later two pale.
faced men were thankful indeed-the
one that he was alive, and the other that
he was not responsible for the blood Of
the man who had alarmed him.

Know the Voice and Dress,

Sometimes, and that is what bothers
me-" said well-known lion tanner, 81
have had my animals recognize me after
an absence of several months. They
would hear my voice and footstep, aud
come rubbing up against the side of the
cage and put their paws out between the
bars. Strange to say, they do not seem
to know a man by his features, but by
his dress, and more particularly his
voice. If 1 should go into my cages
with strange suit of clothes on, and
should not speak, the beasts wouldn't
know me, and ten to one would try to dc
me mischief. But let me put on the
spangled dress again, or let them heal
! my voice, and all would be right"

The Merchant Stewart.

A correspondent says: 1 had quite
an interesting chat with one of A. T.
Stewards clerks, regarding the business
habits of his wonderful employer. He
tells me that the cold Man," as they
style him, is at the store in New York
at nine o'clock, A. NJ, stays an hour or
so, rides to the wholesale store, and
drops in to the retail establishment again
at half-past four, remaining until six.
He has most wonderful memory, and
while he never forgets mistake, he is
prompt to recognize and reward those
who take an interest in his business and
attend to it with the care and vim that
he considers it demands. My informant
says that Stewards is the best retail
house to work for, both as regards pay
and advancement. He quoted numer-
GUS instances where men had risen by
attention to business, most notable
among which was that of the present
superintendent of the largest dry goods
establishment in the world. Mr.. Stew
art prizes the services of this former
parcel boy so highly that, in addition to
the splendid salary he pays him, he has
presented him with the title deeds of O
house in New York valued at $50, 1000.
Mr.. Stewart does everything on grand
scale, as BELTS his reputation. When
the clerks were sent from his New York
store to the Saratoga one they had g
palace car and sleeping car for their ex
elusive accommodation. They all lodge
in one of Stewards cottages, take theil
meals at hotel, and Mr.. Stewart foots
the bill. Hehas also on several occasions
sent carriages on Sunday afternoons tc
take them out riding. The fact is
the stories in circulation about the mean
ness of Stewart are all bosh. He CAL
and will pay men as much or more thar
any one else in the trade, because any
good man is worth as much to him az
to any other house.

A Chicago Jury.

1t is suggestive story that the Chica-
go Tribune tells in these few words A
lawyer in this city brought suit in a
justice court not long since on clear
and honest claim for $50. The defend
ants attorney trumped up a false
counter claim, and the conscientious
jury brought in verdict of $150egainst
the plaintiff. The latter's lawyer remon-
strated with the constable who had Sc
lected the jurors, and more than limited
at foul play. The constable stated the
case, with refreshing frankness, in these
words: 81 told Mr.. So-and-so (the
PLAINTIFF that he could have jury to
suit him for So; he wouldn't give me a
cent, and I got up jury for the other
side." Thus man who declined to
pay constable bride of nearly ten
per cent. of his whole claim lost his suit,
and, had not a superior court overruled
the verdict, would have had to pay $3.50
which he did not owe. 1t is our boosted
jury system which makes this sort o.
thing possible.

Life In Nevada.

A young man having written to the
editor Of the Nevada Enterprise asking
if there was anything for him to do out
there, the editor answered Yes
Come right alongl You will find plenty
of company in the thousands of hungry
men who, day after day, till hope de-
ferred makes the heart sick, walk their
weary rounds searching in vain for a
place within the ranks of the toilers
above mentioned. As soon as you set
foot on our soil you can begin to pay
prices for supplies which will open your
eyes. Board from 81 to $40 per week,
lodgings fifty cents night, unless you
are one of those who steal sleep from the
sidewalk, when the price will advance to

A Marvellous Egg Story.

Some time ago Mr.. Robert Williams,
near Owen, Pa, hearing one of his wife's
ducks making noise as if alarmed, got
out of bed and went to where she was,
but could not see or hear anything. He
went the second time, but with the same
result. He told his wife he guessed the
ducks had gone crazy. Next morning
he went to where the old duck was sit
ting upon her eggs, under brush pile,
and, to his establishment, he saw large
blacksnake coiled up under the fowl.
The snake having swallowed twelve eggs,
MIR. Williams cut his head off, cut him
open, took the eggs out and placed them
under the duck, and eleven of that
dozen eggs Matched. Mr.. Williams
word is as good as his bond.
