Cholera in India.


Cholera has prevailed in India since the
great pilgrimages, which takes place on
April II of every year, notably at Madras
and Bombay. The following quotation
from the British Medical Journal of June
., 1888, will explain its origin in part !:
"The principal part of the food of the pill
grims is furnished by the priests and
temple cooks, and all are obliged to par
take of some of it, as it Is regarded as
sacred, and eating of it forms part of the
ceremonies.
''ln connection with the recent preVa-
lence of cholera in Madras, the following
facts concerning the feeding arrangements
of the pilgrims may be of interest: These
people depend almost entirely for their
meals upon the temple 'Prasadum', or
food which, from sanitary point of view,
is far from satisfactory. One part of this
meal is composed of sand and grit and
remnants of obnoxious insects. The pra-
sadum proper is composed of unboiled or
half boiled rice, not cleared of BRAN gravel
or grit, and cakes are made of the same
sort of material, in addition to old, rancid
and rotten gee, or melted butter. The cakes
are kept for some days before they are
consumed. 1t is obligatory on the part of
every pilgrim to eat a portion of this
sacred prasadum on account of its being
an offering to the Deity; and it is sacri-
lege on the part Of any one to examine or
crIticise it, while it is blasphemy to saw
that it is bad. The very. few who at
tempt to cook their food only get articles
such as to cause diarrhea even among
the strongest. The water used by the ma
iority of the pilgrims is from tank which
has been used by the pilgrims for years
for washing, bathing, drinking and other
purposes. An examination of several
samples of the holy food was made by the
deputy commissioner, Surgeon Major
Price, NJ. d. Some he described as dis
gusting in the extreme; others were bet
ter, but all are utterly unfit for human
food, and likely to produce sickness if
used as such. Some of the samples might
make food for cattle; but he can hardly
credit that human beings could be found
to masticate and digest it.''
1t has also been rather puzzle to SANTA
rians to account for the outbreak of chol-
era in Egypt during the English occu-
pancy of that country. The disease was
well-known to prevail in Bombay, but the
English merchant steamships and sailing
vessels are under such good sanitary su-
peryisiOn, and the stamping out of cholera
is so well understood, that few supposed
the disease would be allowed to slip
through; but it seems that the English
Egyptian Sanitary Board has been
thoroughly disOrganiZed.

DIR. Mary Walker.
IVdShln0t0n SpecidI.


DR.. Mary Walker still looms I'D as a
national issue. She persists in refusing
to be dismissed. She was at the White
House quite recently, struggling to get
some Presidential influence or aid. but did
not succeed in seeing the President. The
newspapers of the country persist in
speaking of her as dressing in E'blOomer''
costume. They are all wrong there. There
is no more blOOmer about it than the dress
of the veriest dude that walks your
streets. She simply wears mems clothes.
That's the long and short of it.
"At the White House the other day she
wore well fitting ''Prince Aibert' coat,
buttOned down after the most approved
style of the sterner sex, black pants. a
"biled" shirt and collar, black necktie and
a mans dark straw hat with high crown
and brim well turned up at the sides. Her
hair was cut short and anybody who did
not know her would take her for an un-
dersiZed weaZen faced man of little vital
ity and no beard, such as you see semi
occasionally in every city. BloOmers in
deed! DR.. Mary Walker in ''bloomers ?'2
She is past that stage years ago, and
would not disgrace herself by retrOgrad-
ing even so little as the return to bloom
ers might be.
True, her coat is a little the worse for
wear, her pants are little threadbare and

hat, which has marked masculine ap-
pearance, seems to have seen one or two

There is not visible in her street costume

femininity.
When she couldn't see the President
she wanted to see "Aleck," the Presi-

HOW A RICH MAN STARVED.

speaker.

starvation! Good gracious, the man
was worth $50,000!"
81 know that; nevertheless he died of
starvation. I'll tell you how IT was.
Jones was always fancying that there was
something the matter with him: 50 he
went to doctor one day and had himself
examined, and the doctor informed him
that he had kidney disease, and that be-
sides taking medicine he must diet him
self. Said the doctor: you must avoid
all kinds of salt meats, salt fish, potatoes,
cabbage and vegetables of every
kind Jones followed the advice, but
found himself no better. He went to
another doctor, and, after being ex-
amined, was informed that he must avoid
all kinds of fresh meats also. This did
not do him any good, as he thought, and
he went to another doctor, who highly
approved of the advice which had previ-
ously been given, and further warned him
against all kinds of pastry, likewise she'll
fish, including oysters and CLANS. THE
best thing for you is a milk diet,' said
this doctor; so Jones lived wholly upon
milk. Not feeling himself any better, he
went to another doctor, who cautioned
him to avoid milk above all things, if he
wanted to get well. This reduced Jones
to diet of cold water and fresh air, and,
finding himself no better under this regi-
men, he went to another doctor, who
advised him to beware of drinking too
much water and being too much in the
air. This last advice cut off the last of
Jones' articles of diet, and he died of
starvation, as l have told you"

The Martinsburg correspondent of the
Wheeling InteJtigencer relates the follow
ing story: Almost every family and indi-
vidual here has some bit of romance in
connection with the late war. To-day,
at musicale to which / was kindly in
Yited, l met lady whose talents as a
musician and whose remarkable beauty
had attracted my attention. She pos
sessed that rare type of prettiness that is
wholly Southern. Great deep blue eyes,
the face perfect in every feature; hair
rich in its abundance and wonderful
in its tlnts. This is her story: Twenty
years ago, when the tide of battle in
long bloody waves swept over the
terrible field of Manassas a baby
girl was left an orphan on the battle
ground. During the changes of the
fatal day the home of the blue-eyed girl
was at one time directly between the fire
OF both armies. AS the first shots whis-
tied above the house the parents started
to flee for a place of refuge. A dozen
yards from the house both were shot down.
and the baby, an orphan, without sister
or brother, was alone in the world. The
battle ragged on. Dead and diving were
everywhere; but the baby was unharmed.
The day wore away, and just as the SUMS
last rays, half hidden in the curling
smoke, sadly kissed the earth good night,
General Jubal Early, riding by, heard the
baby's cries. He dismOunted, and, taking
the little waif up, cared for it
until he could place it under the care of
his sisters. They watched it through its
infantile years, giving it an education
and a world of love, and now that baby,
grown to wOmanhood, lovely and accom-
plished, the pet of wide circle of friends,
who call her ''Waif.' is the sole support
Of the two women, sisters of the
General. She talked to me modestly, vet
gracefully, of her early years, and her
beautiful eyes filled with tears as she
spoke of her two old friends. If l should
write her name it would not be a strange
one here, for all the city knows Miss Ida

A PERILOUS RIDE.
E. II. CarsOn's Bicycle Journey on the
Verge of the Cliffs

Boston Dispatch to Ne1o York Tribune.
+. IL. Carson, of East Rochester. n. H..
has accomplished the remarkable feat of
riding down Mount Washington on a
bicycle. He went up the mountain on
Monday morning from GOrham, and dis
mounting about three miles from the
Glen, completed the journey of eleven
miles to the summit of Mount Wash
ington on foot, pushing his wheel in
advance. His machine was the Ameri-
can Star Bicycle, whose peculiaritv
consists in the small wheel being placed
IN front OF the large one. The eight miles
from the Glen were passed in two hours
and fOrty-ive minutes. After resting
some time upon the summit he started
upon his dangerous journey, while the
guests at the Summit House almost held
their breath in fear for his safety as he
wheeled rapidly round the steep bend just
below the house. Upon reaching more
favorable ground he forged rapidly ahead,
though it could be seen that the brakes
were constantly in application.
Another sharp turn near the gulf was
safely passed, and the machine was be-
having beautifully, the precedence of the
small wheel preventing any liability of
"headerS," and also serving as q power
full brace in case of distractions met in
the road.
The halfway house was soon gained.
and the rider breathed more freely, the
steep cliffs which border the first half of
the way being trying TO the strongest
nerves. The remainder of the journey
was made in perfect safety, the brakes
being effective in spite of the steepness of
the road. The Glen was reached about
O'Clock, the descent having been accom-
plished i'll about one hour and fifty min
utes, and the rider met with a warm re-
ception from the guests. After brief
respite, the wheelman continued on his
way toward jackson. Mr.. Carson re-
Gently performed a similar feat among the
mountains of Maine.

\ CHILD's PERILoUs RIDE.
He sticks by a Runaway from Empire
to Carson.

cursor appeal, Juty IIth.
About $3.50 O'Clock yesterday morning a
young lady in Empire attempted to take
some children out to ride. Among them
was Chester Hope, a boy years of age.
She put young Chester into the wagon
and was about to lift i'm another when the
horse. becoming frightened, started off on
the dead run. There was a cry of terror
from the child's mother as the wagon dis
appeared in a cloud of dust over the hill
and a number of men dashed after it on
foot, but too late to do any
good. Commissioner Martin, who
was near the scene of the
runaway. sprang on to the first horse he
could find and started in pursuit. He
overlook the flying wagon half a mile
from Empire, and found the boy kneeling
down and holding fast to the dashboard.
Mr.. Martin had the presence of mind to
see that so long as the horse could be
kept in the road the child was tolerablv
safe. and whenever il took to the sage
brush he gallOped alongside and drove it
back. He crossed the railroad track in
safety, and Martin, as he rode near the
child, kept calling out: "HOld on to the
dashbOardr' 1t needed no admOnitiOn of
any kind as the child, with good game.

streamed in the wind and his nose
Just came to the edge of the
board. As Jne morse QaSleQ into
town Martin managed by a cOmbina-
ton of luck and good Judgment to keep him
clear of other teams, and he came down
Main street on the gallOp. When men on
the sidewalk saw the little boys head
above the dashboard the excitement was
intense, but whenever they rushed out Mr..
Martin waved them back, and so the
horse flew about the town for about a
quarter of an hour, until it came up ut
te rly tagged out in front of the Ellsworth
House. The yOungster was taken out
without a scratch, and ON reaching the
ground said he wanted to go home. Be-
fore noon he was delivered to his mother
sale and sound, and there was great re-
Jolclng in Empire over his return. 1t
may be safely said that to Mr.. Martins
pres OF mind the child owes its life.

Europe Depending on the United States.

1t is ascertained that EurOpe's popu-
latiOn has increased 10000 in the last
half century, and is increasing now at
the rate of 100000, besides sending
abroad 100000 emigrants yearly. This
growth has so far Outrun food production
that Russia and Hungary are NOW the
only European countries that count on
raising all of their own food supply.
Forty years ago Great Britain alone look
ed beyond her own soil for breadstuffs and
provisions. Now the utmost resources
of the soil are taxed in vain to feed the
population of Europe after Russia and
Hungary are left out of the calculation. In
1850 the total value of our exported food
products was less than 1927, 900. 600. In
1880 ii was sixteen times as much. or
nearly $40, 100000. Cattle on the renot-
est ranges of Texas and Idaho now COM
mand better prices than they brought on
the cultivated farms of the old Atlantic
States in 1850. Wonderful as our in
crease in population and production has
been, it has not more than kopt pace with
the growth of EurOpe's demand for all the
surplus we can produce. Indeed, the i'm
crease of our disposable surplus is becom-
ing more and more a subject of constant
anxiety to the people of Europe, their
only assurance against impending famine.
European statesmen know that their de-
pendence on us in this respect will be-
come more and more absolute in spite of
the greatly increased emigration to the
United States,
