Source of Infectious Diseases.

All the infectious diseases undoubted. ly possess an original hab itation, where 1t IS probable they are now, as always. capable of spontaneous origin in their primitive force, whatever that may be. The difficulty of tracing disease types through various localities, and among different people of the globe, has up to this time prevented precise knowledge upon the point, which time may yet bring us. It seems tolerably certain, however, that the several acute 1nfec- tious diseases named below have the na- tlvities here attributed to them The cholera-Has it's home in India. The small pox-In the East known in China nearly twelve hundred years before Christ. The plague-An Oriental dis ease; has distinct geographical range
 The typhus fever-Ireland is it's birth place. The typhoid and relapsing levers -a@vo 6xod oentoxs in Ireland, Galicia. Upper Silesia and some provinces of Northern Italy. The military fever Is epidemic in few provinces of France. Germany and Italy. Scalatina-Proba. ply native of Arabia. Epidemic dysen- tery-Home in the tropics. The denpue In southern attitudes, with sharp geo. graphical limits. The yellow fever Distinctly traced to the Antilles. The chabalongo-Chili. The verruga-Peru. Certain it seems that no general influence of exposure or bad hygienic surround ings will establish the typical disease away from it's local habitation, except through the penalties of heredity.

They Were Late.

An enthusiastic devotee of the science Of statistics has ascertained the exact percentage of railway passengers that miss their trains at the Vienna stations. Beginning his observations at single station he found that out of from 5 400 to $500 passengers leaving every day one man and from two to three women were the average number of late corners. Then he took in all the stations and placed the number of tardy passengers at ten per day. Of every 100 there were twenty-nine men and seventy-one women. The statistician was not sur- prised that the male sex should show to advantage, but the disproportion astonished him when he reflected that many men are delayed by the fault of their wives, while the contrary seldom occurs. More people miss local trains than express trains, the proportion being as three to one. In winter the number of these unfortunates is least, and in the warm months of July and August it is greatest.

Sale of BIOOded Horses.
THE SALE OF HORSES FROM THE NOTABLE
 sTABLEs OF ROBERT BONNER.

The most notable sale of bloode6
 horses that ever took place in th1s coun.
 try was that of Robert Bonner in New
 York. The sale was to close out a sur.
 plus lot that had accumulated in Mr.
 Bonner's stables, and did not include his
 most notable horses, which he still re-
 tains.
 At the sale there was large attend.
 ance. The most interest was excited
 when the most valuable horse of the lot
 Keene Jim, was sold. He was the sec, ond horse brought under the hammer. Then the crowd cIambered over the fence and filled the track close in before the auctioneer's stand, the foremost shrinking back as the horses heels came in unpleasant proximity to them. ca October Keene Jim trotted 8 mile in 2:184. Had MT. Bonner known, wEe1 the horse was entered for the sale, that he was capable of so muoh speed. Keene Jim would still be an iD mate of the Bon ner Stable. Charles A. Do,a, of the New York Sun, purchased Keene Jim for $4, 900. Shepherd F. Knapp who, it was said, desired to get this prize and was willing to pay $5,O00, came two minutes late.
 Prince Imperial, the handsome son of Flora Temple, had trotted mile the present year in 2:27i, and was started at 1000 and sold to W. F. Osborne, of Connecticut, for $1, 425. Billy Burton was sold for $90O to A. M. Judson. Carl Burr, bay gelding, that has covered mile in 224aa, and was valued at over $3, 900, was sold to MT. Judson for $1, 200. Dexter Duroe, handsome black gelding, the son of Q sister to Dexter, was sold for 1925 to s. T. Dur. yea, of Brooklyn.
 When the sale was half over. Mr. Bonner's son declared that the horses and especially the mares and foaIs. were selling for about half what they wers worth. This was partially due to the crowd on the track, which prevented a proper display of the animals. He re- fused to allow the sale to proceed until the track was cleared. Inspector Thorne, with force of policemen, drove out the crowd, and the sale proceeded at more rate. There were three or four instances of dispute as to. the pur- chaser, and in each case the horse, on being put up second time, sold at 8 advance on the first price obtained. After J. s. Ferguson had bought the bay gelding Edwin, by Ed ward Everett, dam Fanny Morse, for s525, he announced that he had come to pay $3 900 for the horse, Mir. Abbott, the auctioneer, 'I wish you had bid me hat" The crowd in the grand stand clamored to have those in ront, who were standing up put down. The total amount received for the stock vas nearly $33, ,0OO.

An Article of Remarkable Merit.

The results attending the Use of Phillips "PALATABLE Cop LIVER OIL in combination with PHosPHo-NUTR1TINE in cases of Con- sumption and pulmonary diseases in general, chronic coughs and colds, &c., have been so extraordinary that the profession and all who have seen and tried it pronounce it the most etfectual remedy for the above diseases. 1t possesses all the essential elements of nutrition in form easily assimilable to the system and at the same time peculiarly pleasing to the taste. Invalids and children with the most delicate stomachs have no difficulty whatever in taking it, as it docs not produce the slight est nausea. For building up weak systems it has no equal. This inestimaolc preparation is from the laboratory of CHAs. H. PHILLIPS, Manufacturing Chemist, and sold by druggists Depot and Platt street, New York.

A Blockade that should be Raised.

rial through the natural channels should be rendered free, without loss of time, when a blockade is produced by an attack of consti- patton, disorder which if it becomes chronic is productive of serious bodily mischief. Jaundice severe headaches, nausea, dyspepsia, tioned, all indicate that the bodily functions are materially interfered with. Hostetter's Bitters is particula ly efficacious in cases of this sort, and renders the habit of body per fectly regular. It is medicine greatly to be preferred to drastic cathartics, which are well calculated to drench but unhappily also to weaken the intestines. We say unhappily, since such medicines are tn favorite resource of many ill advised persons, who resort to them upon the most trivial occasion, and greatly to their discomfort and injury.

When he arose he took the kev from drawer in stand where he kent his letters and trinkets, but neglected to lock it. At about nine o'clock Adolph and his little sister entered their brothers room and opened the drawer. They looked over the things and found in the bottom of the drawer revolver. Adolph. while examining the weapon, raised the hammer and pointed the revolver to- ward Amelia and pulled the trigger. Mrs. Auer, who was washing her break fast dishes in the kitchen, heard the re- port, which was immediately followed by piercing scream from Amelia. Mrs, Auer hastened into the bedroom, and when she appeared at the door Amelia placed her hands on her stomach and cried, "Oh, mamma, mamma Adolph, Adolph 1" Scarcely had she uttered these words when she fell to the floor. dead. The bullet entered the stomach a trife to the right of the heart.
