DR.. Koch, the discoverer Of the tu>
bercular bacillus, is now reported to
have reached similar conclusion re-
specting the origin Of cholera He was
sint to Europe with the German Com
mission, and lost no time in making a,
microscopic analysis Of the germs Of
the disease. He has found oholeraic
bacillus similar to the parasite which
h, previously discovered in phthisie,
or consumption. 1t is probably anal
ogous to the parasite which DR. Dos
mingos FREEZE, distinguished physi-
clan Of Brazil, has found in the blood
Of yellow fever patients. The prae
{ cal utility Of these microscopic in
vestigations respecting the origin Of
Diseases will depend upon the ability
OF the scientists to cultivate these
bacilli with a view TO harmless inoeu-
lation. The coming man may have to
be vaccinated against consumption,
cholera and yellow fever as we'll as
smallpox. DR.. Koch, however, has
not wholly succeeded in convincing the
medical profession that there is a
Characteristic parasite in consumption
1t is, therefore, premature to lay stress
upon the importance Of his now dis
covery. Moreover, it is now we'll un'
derstood that the disease recently pre-.
vailing in Egypt was a local epidemic
aud not Asiatic cholera.

Honsehold Hints.

Sage prepared like custard, and theI
baked, with apples or other fresh o.
canned fruit is nice dish for a con
valescent.
To give consistency to a pie-plant pie
allow to one coiiee-cupiul of pulp, one
heaping tablespoonful of corn starch;
then mix with this the yolk Of three eggs,
and use the whites for a meringue.
A fancy for childrens party cake is to
make plain or sponge cake, and bake in
shallow tins; cut in small Oblong pieces
a little larger than dominoes, and then
with brush dipped in melted chocolate
make the marks and dots.
Stewed liver is appetizing when one is
tired of fried meat and roast. Stew it
in a saucepan with a little water, in
which you have put a lump of butter, an
union cut in slices, and a liberal allow
ance of pepper and salt.
Bread cake fried may be a novelty to
some cooks. To two cups and a half of
bread dough allow one cup and half of
sugar, two eggs, a quarter of a cup of
melted butter, half teaspOonful of salt,
and little nutmeg. Knead them well
into the dough, using rs much flour as
is needed to make a smooth dough. Let
it rise then until it is very light, then
knead again, and cutout in fancy shapes;
let them rise again, and fry in boiling
fat.
French mustard is thus made in Amer
lea four tablespoonfuls of mustard,
one tablespoonful Of sugar, one teaspoon
ful of cinnamon, one half teaspoOnful |
each of cloves, black pepper, and of
-four, with vinegar enough to cover
these; mix all well, and let it come to |
boil; when cold add little salad oil, |
say one or two tablespoonfuls; this gives |
to the whole.
Veal outlets are very nice if dipped in
,ggs, then in fine bread-crumbs, with
pepper, salt, and a little parsley chopped
md mixed with the bread Have some
at, very hot, in the pan before you put
he outlets in. After frying the veal
,our most of the fat out of the pan and
make a rich brown gravy. Serve with
mashed potatoes, turnips, and tomatoes.

FIVE REASONS

Why the public preference is and should be, gwen to
Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Because the superior strength of well chosen ingred
tents in combination peculiar to itself and possessed
by other preparation with the skilled pharmacy used
in its manufacture make Hoods Sarsaparia the best
medicine in the market for purifying the blood.
Because Hoods sarsaparilla has, in numerous we'll
known and verified instances, eradicated ScrJfula,
cleansed the blood of Humors and restored weakened
nvalids to health, in which condition they remain.
Because Hoods sarsapara has really and truly
cured cases of Dyspepsia long standing and chronic,
of Indigestion, of General Debility, of Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and all Humors which riot in the blood and
break the skin in Testers pustues pmples and boils.
Because Hoods Sarsaparia has been found to be
the best medicine for ailments pro uced by the season
climate, wonderfully sharpening the appetite and
markedly toning up the system against debility and
nervousness.
Because Hoods Sarsapara is everybodys medi.
cine No one is poor that he pay for bottle
of Hoods Sarsaparilla-1OO doses-or cent each dose
are soreh and lofty to be beyondits benefit.

Dying For His Children.

John Murphy, employed as fireman
| in one of the factories at AnsOnia, Conn.
| took his two children out for walk
| across the fields. While the little ones
were romping, the father sat down by a
large waterfall near the track of the
Naugatuck Railroad and PLAYED upon
his flute. The noise Of the waterfall
drowned all other sounds, and it was not
until the shrill whistle of a locomotive
only a few rods distant at a curve in the
road aroused him that the father
thought of the approach of the Sunday
milk train, but the children were seated
upon the track in front of the approach
ing train and were throwing pebbles into
the water. The train was bearing down
upon them at high speed. Murphy
cried loudly to the children and rushed
toward them. The engineer discovered
them and promptly reversed his engine
and applied the brakes, but not until the
rim of the COW catcher, was within a few
feet of the children. Their father had
gained their side. His little girl he
threw to the right Of the track
into clump of bushes, and his
little son, with swing of his
foot, he sent sprawling through the air
to the other side of the track. He had
no time to save himself. The locomo-
tive struck him as he stood facing it.
His body was hurled against telegraph
pole, and he fell to the ground a corpse.
A crowd of people soon collected, and |
among them Murphy's wife and his six
other children. At Murphy's funeral |
nearly every resident of the village |
turned out to do his memory honor

The Trade Dollar.
LFrom the New York Herald1


In a published interview with re.
l'porter of the EOening Telegram Assis.
tant Treasurer Acton gives a ''point" to
spectators in the deprecated trade
dollar which, if it turns out to be what is
known among gentlemen of sporting
prOclivities as ga straight tip" may be
of no small value to those who are now
purchasing for eighty-fve cents a coin
which the government assures us is one
dollar This is Treasurer Acton's gra-
tuitous "tip" to the public CT would
advise everybody to keep their trade
dollars if they can. I certainly think it
will be profitable to them.if they can lay
away their money for time"
What does Treasurer Acton mean
That the coin which commands only
eighty-five cents, because the govern
ment will not redeem it at par, is even
tually to be "called in" at its face value ?
Such a proceeding was not calculated
upon when the trade dollar was demone-
tized. Is there any scheme on foot to
purchase the deprecated dollar from the
public on whom it has been forced and
then lobby a bill through Congress to
redeem it at par? Such a lobby would
have abundant means at its command
and the scheme would not require large
outlay. On a comparatively small capi-
tai an immense amount of coin could be
bought within fraction of the amount
paid for the coin could be borrowed in
bills, pledging the coin as security, and
the borrowed money being used at once
for fresh purchases the operation could
be repeated again and again, with only
slight depreciation each time of the orig !
inal capital.
Really Treasurer Acton's "tip" is very
all but the poor man who is
obliged to part with his trade dollar for
cents to the "syndicate. |
But what if Congress should not pass
5he desired bill? With all due respect
to Treasurer Acton, we will not advise
or others to keep their
rade dollars" We advise them, on the
contrary, to have nothing to do with
hem-to refuse them, no matter by
whom they are offered.
