HOW CHOLERA SPREADS.
The Pestiience which bns Mnde Its way
Through the Old and New Worlds.

An Eastern pestilence which has made
its way on foot through Central Asia,
which has crossed the Atlantic in the
old days of sailing ships, and crossed
the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific
when San Francisco was no more than a
Whitley walled Spanish mission, says tho
London Standard, may certainly be
described as an eDterprising and persI-
vering traveller. II cholera could this
travel in the years from 1928 to 1888,
what may it not do in these days OF
rapid transit? But the fact is that tle
good old times Of slow stages, OF spend
ing weeks and months on the journey,
were so much more suited to the ways OF
cholera that even the thousandfold op
portunites Of the age OF steam do moi
make it half so dangerous. If there is
one thing less doubtful than another in
the natural history Of cholera, 1t is that
it loves the ground, that the breeding
place OF the poison is the soil, and that
il is always most formidable when it
drags its slow length along and leaves a
trail behind it. cholera came by sea
from Alexandria to Southampton in
1865, but it was quickly suppressed. II
came next year with German emigrants
on their way to America, and it became
n considerable epidemic. We have al
ways imported it from the opposite
shore of the North Sea. II would al
most seem as if long journey overland
was necessary to consolidate it's power
and give vigOr to its constitution. Panic
stricken fugitives, the poorest Of emf
grants, wayside tramps and all kinds Of
hugger.mugger in motion are the favor
tie media of cholera diffusion. A few
showers of rain in Toulon at the present
juncture would almost certainly make
the whole town hotbed of pestilence.
In time Of heat and drought such as
the present, what is called the subsoil
water stands at low level; the wells are
low, and when the rain comes
the surface water has to percolate
through considerable stratum Of soil,
and from wide radius round about in
order TO reach them. These would
seem TO be the conditions in the tenn
perate zone, at least, favorable to an in
crease Of cholera, just as they
Nre known to cause an increase OF
typhoid fever. DR.. Cornish, well
known official in Madras, says: "Slight
showers of rain at the end Of the hot
season may always, I think, be regarded
as dangerous, as they afford the requi-
site amount of moisture in the surface
soil Combination with its existing high
temperature) to favor the development
Of the germs Of the disease" No one
can tell where the germs of cholera may
not have been carried in the exodus OF
10000 persons from Toul ION, and some
thousands from Marseilles; the seed
may have fallen unnoticed on the sur
face of the parched ground, where it
only awaits the coming of the rain to
fructify. But much rain, or heavy
floods, have often been known to bring
an epidemic of cholera to an end, by
flushing the soil and drowning or carry
ing off the poison.

What n Kentucky BurgOO Is.

"If You should 20 out to Kentucky
about this time" said the old Judge,
'"you would probably DO invited to a
burgoo. You don't recognize him by
that name, do You? No? Well bur-
goo (accent on first syllable) is grand,
good thing. II is m all-day picnic in
the woods, with feast which throws
the clam chowder and the barbecue into
the deep shade of obscurity. In fact
the burgoo usually includes barbecue
as sort of incident. You go out to
corner OF the woods, where the thicB
underbrush has been carefully cut away,
and where there are trees enough for
shade, but not enough for gloom, and
there you sit and smoke the finest To-
pacco in the world and drink lemonade
and sniff the delightful aroma of the
bnrgoo until along in the afternoon.
when the niggers pronounce the burgoo
ready and ladle II out to YOU in bic
bowlfuls. The burgoo is delicious
broth, which is a perpetual reminder of
the aborigines who handed il over to our
pioneering forefathers when they began
coming across the mountains from Vir-
ginia. You take-or rather tho darkies
take-a gigantic kettle and hang it over
roaring fire. A light broth is made
first; then they throw in young chick.
ems, young ducks, sucking pigs, ana all
sorts of small game, with fresh pota-
toes, green peas, string beans, corn and
every other vegetable. Everything is
cooked until the meat begins to fall to
pieces. Then the walters, with shining,
smiling, black faces and snow white
jackets and aprons, bear great bowlfuls
OF the toothsome stew through the
grove. Oh, how good it is My mouth
waters as tell you of 1t. Aiterward
there is more burgoo, and then more
burgoo. until everybody has actually
had enough. Then the darkies satisfy
themselves, while you return to your
pipe and your glass, until the shadows
OF evening gather sleepily around YOU"

Mrs. Tom Jordan, who lives nee,
Bethel school house, was bitten on
her ankle by a rattlcsnake. As
soon as she reached the house the
entrails Of a chicken, freshly killed,
were applied to the bite, and the
poison thus drawn out. They are
said to have turned green shortly
after the application was made.
She was also given an abundance of
whisky to drink, but, though she is
said to have drank about a gallon
in remarkable short time, this is
said not to have any effect on her.
At last accounts she was improving
rapidly, and will no doubt shortly
recover. The snake, which was
killed, had fine rattles. Mrs. Jor-

A dispatch informs the public
that Kecly will have his motor
started up at the close of the pres
ent month. About the same sort
of news comes from the Comstock
relative to the time when the boom
will begin. We do not believe that
there is single mining company
on the Comstock looking for ore,
and that there are several who
know where ore bodies lie and are
avoiding them. The present sys-
tenn OF assessments and working
over the old slum ponds and slopes
abandoned along the upper levels
il quite satisfactory to the present
managers, and they are in no hurry
for boom. If the public would
quit paying assessments and allow
themselves to be sold out there
would be boom and new discoy-
cries. The insiders can hold on
