On CIenehing Of Hands.

A correspondent writes: whether
the c!enching Of the bands be the re-
suit Of mental emotion, hysteria, or
other nervous commissions, Of acute
poisoning or Of tetanus, woman al.
ways seem to lay the thumb across
the palm and fold the fingers over it,
frequently wounding the skin Of the
ball of the thumb by the pressure Of
the index and middle.fnger nails;
while men invariably hex the fin
gers acutely first, now and then dig
ging all four nails into the palm, and
turn the thumb outside, across the
back Of the middle phalanges. About
four years ago l witnessed case Of
idiopathic tetanus in black woman
in Barbados. The disease had
reached that advanced stage where
the muscles OF the extremities begin
to be affected during the paroxysms,
and it was interesting to observe be.
fore actual clenching ensued that
the thumb first began TO witch in.
wardly, while the fingers were mo-
tionless. Possiblythis may be the
unconscious result of habits acquired
during life. / have had no oppor
tunity of noting the phenomenon in
children.

The Cattle Plague.

Since the law was passed in 1878,
838 infected cattle have been destroy.
ed according TO law, and their own.
ers Unidentified at an average rate Of
about $50 head, which is calculated
to be two-thirds the value of the AM.
mails. About 500 more cattle have
been destroyed by their owners after
it had been discovered that they had
been exposed to infection, although
the disease had not developed. A
proclamation for the strict enforce.
ment Of the law relative to infectious
and contagious diseases has just been
issued. The "lung plague" was
known in the days Of Aristotle, $50
years before Christ. Its popularity
is that the lung is solidifed by &C.
cumulations until, instead of weigh
ing four pounds, the organ weighs
over forty pounds. The breathing
apparatus is thus made useless. The
disease is infectious and contagious,
and cattle dying of it are not fit for
human food. The disease made its
appearance in Holland in 1888, and
it is estimated that the damage by it
in England alone has been $1,000
600. 1t FIRST made its appearance in
Brooklyn, in 1913, in a COW bought
by Peter Dunn from a shipmas.er.
This eow-infOotod tho eastlo of tho
end Of Long Island, and thence the
disease spread.

Barreft,s Circus.

The reputation which preceded Barrett
circus and menageie show was well
sustained by the exhibitions given at the
two performances Yesterday afternoon and
evening. The meuagerie comprises a num-
Der Of fine animals, though the collection is
Is not as extensive and varied as many
anticipated. The lions, tigers and leopsrds
are splendid representatives OF the animal
kingdom, and the dTOves Of camels and
elephants comprise mammoth aud dimtnu-
tive epecfmens. The menagerie Is really
an interesting feature Of the exhibition.
The mammoth tent In the afternoon was
comfortably filled, the majority OF the seats
being occupied, but at night there was
perfect Jam We have rarely seen greater
crowd collected under canvas than was
Witnessed last night, and the immense gath
gring seemed to be well pleased with the
show, Judging from the enthusiasm. The
arena performances were remarkably good,
the equestrianism not being excelled by any
circus company that has been here, both
male and female riders being daring and
graceful Oelis is the equal Of Stickney
In bareback riding, and two Of
the eouestriennes displayed marvellous
skill and grace IN the management Of
their steeds. The Portuguese cOntOrtiOnist
l. without doubt the best 'India rubber
man, being without bones, that has ever
been seen In Savannah; the wire walking
feats. bicycle riding and trapezs perform
sUce-, lesping, etc, were above The usual or
der. and the entire show can be pronounced
one Of the very best travelling. Excel
lent order was maintained through
ont. and there was nothing done
or said to offend the most capCious. The
clowns were not SIS good IS they might have
beeu. but they managed to keep the i'm
meuse audience in laughter, and accom-
plished their obi -ct-tO please.

to the East Broad street sewer; and every
lot owner in this large section OF the city,
who now has scarcely point at which he
can make a sewer connection without an
enormous expenditure out of his individual
pocket, in many instances having to run
bis pipe Oger a quarter Of mile, would az
once be placed in position 70 make snch
connection at an expense Of about the cost
OF pipe as long as one hdJ the 0Teddh
Of has 0lOn i1adiridssal lot.
Let me give another instance OF the hard
ship of the present system. Not many
months since, the Marshall estate, owning
property on South Broad street, at the cor
ner Of Lincoln street, In order to comply
with the requirements Of the Sanitary Board,
had to lay pipe not only In York street
lane, behind their own houses, but from
York street lane down Lincoln street TO the
Broughton street sewer. Now, II such lane
sepers for house drainage as the Sanitary
Board of this city ask the Legislature 70
empower the municipal authorities upon the
recommendation Of the Sanitary Board to con-
struct, had been In existence, or IL the pre-
sent law had been framed as the one now
desired, no such injustice could have oc-
cured.
The present Sanitary Board did not frame
the present law. Their experience as to its
workings is unsatisfactory, not only as re-
CARDS the unssnitsry results obtained, but
also as to its economical administration.
Many of the defects unsvoidably growing
out of its unsystematic and unsanitary work
ings have endesvored TO point out as intel
ligently as l can from such experience as |
have gained in its administration. II there
is any point omitted upon which any citizen
desires further light l have no doubt what
ever that the sanitary authorities Of the city
will take pleasure in giving such informa
ton to any interested inquirer.
This great work OF sanitary Improvement
is not brought forward by persons seeking
Individual notorietY, but is the outgrowth
of the experiencssof those who for years
past have snxiouslY investigated all matters
which might tend to improve and insure our
healthful development as community. 1t
Is q comprehensive beginning upon a sure,
economical, practical and thoroughly scien-
tific sanitary foundation. l feel well as
sured that every thoughtful aud prudent
lot owner will give It his unqualified In
dorsemen+. LOUIS A. FALLIGANT.
NOTE 1t will be seen that the metho1 of
assessment proposed by DR.. Fslligant differs
materially from that suggested in the bill
published yesterday. At the meeting of the
Sanitary Board yesterday the entire matter
was referred to committee composed of
Drs Falligant, Duncan and Mcfarland, to
make such changes as might seem best, after
which It is likely that 1t will undergo further
revision in a general conference OF the
Mayor and Aldermen and Sanitary Board.
