Dcmorrst's Monthly for March,
A good story is told Of a well-known
Boston physician who was much puz-
zIed to know how to treat consumption
Learning that the disease was unknown
among the lumbrrmcn of Maine, he in
stituted an inquiry as to the diet and
habits of the woodchoppcrs. To hi,
surprise lie found that their chief dicl
was salt pork. and that their principal
drink was whisky, whcreupon he pre-
scrlbed pork and whisky for his Boston
consumptive patients. not, however,
with happy results. The real secret of
the immunity of the lumbrrman was
that he lived in the pine woods and had
abundant exercise in the open air
Two Paris physicians, NM. de Bore and
Beaumetz, have invented 4 system OF
treating consumption which is said to
be quite successful. 1t consists in
practice styled experimentation.
which is not only ovcr-fecding but
forced feeding by means of pumps and
other appliances. 1t is found that pa
tieuts who cannot retain food in their
stOmachs in the Ordinary way are not
inconvcnienced when literally immense
quantities Of food are introduced into
the system by pump. The diet is n
composition of minced lean meat.
which is dried and then pounded into -
powder. 1t is then mixed with milk or
bOuilIOn, and sometimes raw eggs arr |
added. This is found to be highly nu.
tritious and easily digrstcd. and has
proved to be as cllicaciOus in hystcria |
and other wasting diseases as in con.
sumption, for which it was first de-
viSed. The first dose given is not more
than twenty-five grammeS per meal. |
but the quality is gradually and rapidly |
increased until the large portion OF Coo |
grammes is daily given, which i,
equivalent to about four pounds OF
lean meat. How large this quantity |
really is, is shown by the fact that one
pound of meat is quite sufficient for an
ordinary working man, and two litrcs
of milk and several eggs are required
in the administration Of the dose. The
report is that the consumpIiycs. if not
too far gone, have rapidly gained IN
weight under this process, their daily
average increase having ranged from
50 to 100 grammes. The cough is less
aud the lungs begin to heal
under this forced feeding, which it is
added, works as well in dyspepsia as in
phthSs, never producing nausea or
vomiting, the food being passed down
the throat without any objection ON the
part of even hystcrical women, No
doubt the experiments of these French
physicians will soon be tested in this
country.

A Coal Miners Accident and Narrow
Escape From Death.

A coal miner whose name could not be
learned, who is employed at Neland's coal
works, south OF Bridgeport. met with a
very painful accident yesterday. He had
drilled hole preparatory to putting in a
blast, and in putting in the powder had
spilled a little at the mouth. He placed
his fuse in and while preparing to light it
the spilled powder took fire and the blast
was discharged before he had a chance TO
get away. His face and body we're terribly
burned with the powder and was blown
full OF burnt powder and
small pieces of coal Fortunately
the blast blew out and did not knock down
the coal, otherwise he might have Jared
worse. He was taken to DR.. Cookies office,
and took the doctor two hours to pick the
powder and dirt from his face; much of it
was into the flesh good way. The opera
ton was very severe and he exhibited lots
OF pluck and never flinChed.

Renuer keeps hotel on lower Market
Square, and yesterday afternoon about two
o'clock was called upon to wait upon two
customers at the bar. They took their Ii
quor and rendered $ for change. Renner
took out his pocketbook, removed some
small bills, and laid the book back on the
shelf. In giving the change he
dropped a cork, and to find it re-
quired some little search. While he was
bent over behind the bar, one of the men
slipped over, seized the pocket book, and
both made OIL. Mr.. Renner is too old 10
make make pursuit and the men escaped.
The pocket book contained about $50. The
thieves both wore dicer hats, and one was
tall and the other short and stout. The
police were informed, and officers secured

CHEERING NEWS"
Some Richness Perpetrated by En-
thusias1ic Correspondents.

Some of the politicians from the city and
State, collected at the Mcclure House yes
terday, were not little amused at an
article that appeared in the Pittsburgh
Commerciql- Gazette, of the day before. The
article was a special communication from
New Cumberland, telling how West Vir-
gina was just about to wheel into the
Republican column" 1t talks about the
cheering news from the Third district
which it Sives as follows:
Now, in the election on the 18th to ill
the vacancy caused by the election Of John
\. kenna as nItei States Senator. the Re
publ;Cans claim the battle by a small ma.
jority, while the Democrats claim that
hey have the election by something less
than 5un
This is the kind OF dispatch sent away
from here lust before the last State e!cC.
ton. TEL ing OF the immense majority Sur
ci>S would have. This article c)es on -
tell of the good time coming when water
will run up hill, bearing gold and green
backs on its bosom, and when tAe grand
old party will amount to something. 1t
says:
"The political news from the Third Con-
gressiCnal district is surely encouraging to
the West Yirginian who has at heart the
good of his State. Or, in other words the
citizens of this State who can feel that the
chain of dead ideas is being slowly but
surely unwound from about US, and that it
will be but a little while until the little
State of Mountaineers will be free and I'M
trameled as Its motto would indicate"

and enterprise is its motto, but this cor
respondent bubbles ever too easily.
