Fever Probabilities.


S. r. Hewitt, of 55 Maiden Lane,
New York, arrived here to-day after a
tour through the portions of the South
said to be infected with yellow fever,
He confirms the reports of yellow
fever prevailing in certain sections. In
New Orleans there were several deaths
during his stay, and in Vicksburg he
witnessed the funerals of four people
who had fallen victims to the dreadful
tropical scourge. Mr.. Hewitt is of
opinion that the change of seasons has
not thoroughly eradicated the disease,
and that it will show its head again
early in the summer. Physicians in
Mississippi and Tennessee contend that
the exhuning and the removal of
bodies are the cause of the reappearance
of the disease, and that if steps are not
taken by the authorities to stop this,
the fever will occur again with its old
time malignancy. The bodies are
mostly those of the wealthy and re-
spectacle class who remained in the
plague-stricken districts to care for
worldly possessions. Many of these
victims were buried beside the paupers
in Potter's Fields, and the relatives
have been waiting until the weather
would permit of their removal for in
terment in the family graveyards. The
work of removal has been ,repulsive
and sickening. The removals are some
times made at night. but grave-diggers
can be seen at almost any time during
the day engaged in this shocking busi-
ness. Removing bodies has grown TO
be Lucrative business since the weather
became a few degrees cooler As
much as 800 are paid for taking up a
victim. Undertakers in many instances
prefer not to contract for removals,
and express their abhorrence of the
business. II the weather does not

That Oheoker-B Board.

Up to three evenings ago such thing
as a checker-board was never known in
MIR. Grattan's house. He and his aged
partner have managed to pass the long
evenings very pleasantly, and he sup
posed they were happy enough until a
friend from the East paid them a flying
visit and asserted over and over again
that the game of checkers was not only
all the rage there, but that it served to
quicken the perceptive faculties, enlarge
the mind and render the brain more
active. After giving the subject due
thought. Mr.. Grattan walked down
town and purchased a checker-board,
and when evening came he surprised
his good wife by bringing it in from the
wood-shed and saying
"Well, Martha, we'll have n game
or two before we go over to the social.
/ expect to beat you all to flinders, but
you won't care"
"Of course not, and if beat you why
you won't care" she replied.
They sat down, and he claimed the
first move. She at once objected, but
when he began to grow red in the face
she yielded and he led off. At the fourth
move she took a man, chuckling as she
raked him in.
~ don't see anything to grin at, !"
he sneered as he moved a man back
wards.
Here! you can't move that waym
she called out.
al can't ehP Perhaps never played
checkers before you were bornr'
She saw chance to jump two more
men and gave in the point, but as she
moved he cried out:
"Put them men right back there!
I've concluded not to move backwards,
even if Hoyle does permit it,"
She gave in again, but when he
jumped man her nose grew red and
she cried out:
81 didn't mean to move there, l was
thinking of the socialI'
Cant help the social, Martha-we
must go by Hoyle."
In about two minutes she jumped
two men and went into the king-row,
shouting:

Board and checkers fell between
them. He could get on his hat quicker
than she could find her bonnet, and
that was the only reason why he got
out of the house first. A Woodward
avenue grocer found him sitting on a
basket of cranberries at the door as he
was closing up for the night, and asked
him if he was waiting for his wife to
come along.

grow colder soon, some measures will
have to be adopted to stop removals,
and as a matter of safety for the future,
some steps should be taken. Many
merchants, says Mr.. Hewitt, are max
ing no preparations for the spring
trade, fearing another visitation of the
fever. The exceedingly mild state of
weather here has caused the st. Louis
Health Commissioner to issue an order
that no more bodies be disnterred
from quarantine. Although no danger
is anticipated from malaria or con-
tagion next summer, it is always safe
to be cautious; hence the action of the
Commissioner. 1t has been recon-
mended to the Board of Health that no
more bodies be allowed to be brought
here from the South. and action will
soon be taken on the suggestion. st.

A Change that 4. a Blersing.

There is no more remarkable feature,
in the progress of science, and nc
greater change in any professional
practice, than is illustrated by the con-
trast of the medical system of to day,
and thirty years ago. Then all medi-
clnes were copious in quantity, and
nauseous to the taste. To take them
was. q trial to adults, and an overwhelm-
ing horror to the young. Now most
doses are small and concentrated, and
free FROM offensive flavor. Until recent
ly. however, one of the most valuable
and efficient of remedies was detestable
to nearly all for whom it was prescrib-
ed. Cod Liver Oil, the only cure for
wasting decline of vital energy and
certain means of renewing healthy
tissue, Disguised those to whom it
should have done most good. Scott's
Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with the
Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda
removes the only objection. Its flavor
is really pleasant, its nourishing power
marvellous, and there is no finer nerve
and brain tonic in the world.
