scene is as picturesque as could be
imagined. The many-colored cloths re-
1ected as many colors of light; the
thousands of people passing and repass-
ing, now in light and now in shadow,
the long lines of light crossing and re-

sight.
These fairs have been held in Leipsic
for centuries, and for years were the most
important factor in the prosperity of the
city. In the olden times, before the in
vention of the commercial travellers, il
was great thing for a city to have the
privilege of an annual fair from the En-
peror or King or Grand Duke, or what
ever the royal robber might be, for goods
were bought and sold at these meetings
almost exclusively. Leipsic gained her
first Importance from this privilege, and
Frankfort was made important in the
same way.
But they are very rapidly going out OF
fashion. The railroad brings the drum.
mer to the very desk of the dealer, and
there is no necessity for his going to a
Fair Town to see samples any more than
there is for Wisconsin merchant to 90
to New York twice a year. ALI over
Europe the fairs are becoming less i'm
portant year by year, and in time they
will fade out altogether. Leipsic comes
the nearest to holding her own with them,
because the half-civiiized countries that
are dependent upon them are SO near
her. But their fate is sealed even in
Leipsic. The next generation of mer-
chants will abandon them, and the great
fairs will be thing of the past.-D. r.

Milk and Infectious Diseases.

An outbreak of typhoid fever in St.
Pancras, London, has been traced to
the milk supply directly, and indirect
ly to a sycamore tree. During Au-
gust there were 223 cases of the epi-
demic within limited area. The sani-
tary officer conducting an investigation
began by making map of the district
showing the distribution of houses
where there had been sickness. He
was able at once to discard two theo-
ries of infection, namely, the condition
of the Regents Canal and contaminat-
ed water from the mains, and speedily
to find an adequate cause in the milk
supply. Out of 431 persons attacked
during the summer, 36S were known
to obtain milk from one dealer and the
remaining 63 might haye done so in
directly. Houses supplied by other
dealers escaped; and in families which
depended upon the fatal milk-cart,
those who drank milk were attacked,
while those who preferred beer did not
have the fever.
The dealer obtained milk from five
farms, but the houses in st. Pancras
in which the fever had occurred had
been supplied mainly from the same
farm. This was in St. Adams; and as
direct evidence that this was the source
of infection, the sanitary officer ascer-
tanned that certain porters in the deal
er's employ were attacked after drink
ing the milk, that there were addition
al cases on the farm itself, and that
houses in ST. Alhans supplied with the
same milk were also infected. The in
vestigntion having been narrowed
down to a single farm, the water sup
ply naturally fell under suspicion.
The milk cans and pals were found to
be washed every day in n dairy with
water obtained from well adjoining a
cess-pool. A sycamore tree stood be-
tween them, and its roots probably
gave opportunity for the percolation of
leakage from one into the other. This
was the most satisfactory explanation
which sanitary inspector could give OF
the outbreak of the fever.
IL Is ny nO SCIl ldlhJ hO"O'Si
that the milk was not infected by the
prevalence of the disease at the farm.
A dairyman in Dundee, for example,
who kept his supply Of milk in room
where his little boy lay prostrated with
scarlet fever introduced the disease in
various households, until there were
seventeen cases and four deaths. In
stances are constantly arising where
infectious disease is directly communi,
Gated by means Of milk that has been
directly exposed to contamination in
dairies or farm-houses. 1t is possible,
therefore, that the sycamore tree had
less to do with the spread of contagion
than the inspector supposed. The rel
ative situation OF the cesspool and the
well, however, naturally suggested the
final step in his series of ingenious de
! ductiOns

Two conclusions are to be drawn
from these facts. The first that events

justify the unbounded faith of those
who have looked to the railroad to
bring prosperity and high prices. The
second conclusion is that tie two years

The best memory of a journey crowd

Tacoma, the Rainier ofthe biographies.
l owe to this magnificent eminence the
tribute of respect and sincere admlra-
ton; and vet the man who attempts
to describe such peak, the most glor-

realized in rock and snow. Tacoma

Packer VS.. Hammett & Co

The Supreme Court of this State
lately fled an opinion covering ninety.
five pages of legal cap in the famous
case of Asa Packer against Noble,
Hammett Il Co, which was bill in
equity asking the court in Carbon
county, Pa, to decree an account stat
ed. The proceeding was begun more
than twenty-six years ago. Since that
time all the original parties to the suit
have died. The suit grew out of a
contract by Asa Packer to build part
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad for
$1,000, 900 Noble, Hammett Il Hall
were then his partners in business.
He offered them one-ffth interest in
the undertaking on certain conditions.
They hesitated to sign the contract, and
Mr.. Packer went on with his work.
Soon after Mr. Packer was financially
embarrassed, and practically expelled
from the firm. In time he became
became prosperous again, and one Of
the wealthiest men in the State. The
proceedings were begun by Mr. Packer
for an accounting when in financial
straits In 1870 Noble, Hammett &
Co. filed an amended bill, in which
they claimed they were partner in the
successful railroad enterprise, and were
entitled to $l2, 100000. They present
ed the contract, in which their names
were signed in different kind of ink
from Mr. Packers Several decisions
have been made against their claim,
which are sustained by the Supreme
Court, on the ground that Noble and
Hammett signed Mr. Packers PROPOSE
ton without his knowledge and never
notified him of their acceptance of it.
Their object in this was doubtless to
to protect themselves against loss if
the railroad enterprise should be a
failure, and at the same time be in a
position to demand share of whatever
profits might accrue.
