The Parasite OF Malaria.
fScientiiie American

The observations of M. Richard seem
to afiim those of Leverau; be found in
the red corpascles of the blood of per-
sons suffering from acute malaria par
asite of oscillating form moving very
rapidly and sometimes disengaging
itself from the globule. These para
sites have been met with in nj nber
sufficiently large to obstruct the capil-
larry vessels, and to explain many of
the symptoms of Intermittent fevers. It
has also been proved that the culture
of these parasites in fertile gelatine
basis can be brought to an immediate
cessation if a two per cent. quinine So
luton is aided.

Prehistoric Golden Fishhook..
Tucson fArizonal Citizen

l1ucSOH ktAflzOHaj OiClZen.
E. J. Smith, the county coroner, has four
gold fishooks that he uHearthed in the South
American placers. He was mining In a river
bed near the city of Call, in the state Cauca,
United States of Columbia, in 1866, when he
pulled up small tree by the roots and there
in the sand lay an even bakers dozen Of reg
ularly shaped gold fishhooks of the ordinary
size They are not bent In the Limerick
fashion. Without doubt they are the work
of prehistoric Indians, governed by the Incas.
When Mr.. Smith returned to San Francisco
he gave some away, lost others, and now has
only four left. He has been repeatedly asked
to put his price on these, but refuses to do so.
The other day he refused an offer Of 500 for
one. 1t was such trifes as these that excited
the avarice Of Pizarro and other vandals, who
tore down better governments than have ever
occupied the same terri tory since.

some queer Notions.

tIaTaHlle BOOmerang.J
The old Jewish doctors entertained some
queer notions in regard to finger-nails. A
favorite theory was that before Adams fall
the bodies of the first parents were perfectly
Transparent, and that the nails are the ves-
tige left of mans estate in the garden of
Eden. Instances have been observed of nails
growing on the stumps of amputated fingers
and when the coffin containing the corpse of
the great Napoleon was opened long after his
death at st. Helena, his toe-nails had grown
clear through his boots, and his hair stuck
through the chinks of the coffin.

The men who accomplish the most
never seem in hurry, no matter how
much they have to do. Everybody
must have observed that. They are
not troubled for lack of time, for they
make the most of the minutes by work
ing in cool, clear, orderly, and
methodical fashion, finishing each lob
properly, and not wasting their nervous
force on trffies or expending itin hustle.
They never complain OF overwork. They
are more likely to be hunting up new
work to do, in order to give their facul-
ties more varied Enjoyment and to ex-
ercise some wiliek are not sufficiently
used.

Western Etiquette.
lrhilndelnhia CAll.


When asked to take something, never
refuse. Ii you shoot a man by mistake
for some one else, it is positively re-
quired that you call on the family i'm
mediately after the funeral and apollo
gize. 1t is not polite to crack jokes at
the expense of man who carries q self
cooking pistol. Never carry handker-
chief in your pocket; reaching for it
may lead to Misunderstanding. At
lynching bees the master Of the ceremo-
nies has the exclusive right to designate
those who are to help pull on the rope.
When suddenly stopped by road agents
and asked to hold up your hands,
it is considered the height of
impoliteness to refuse. Strict
etiquette now requires that at
5 o'clock teas all weapons shall be
concealed under the coat or in the boots,
the latter course being preferred, as
bootlegs are handler to get at. When
invited to party which you do not wish
to attend, a card with regrets with C. A.
o. in one corner will be sufficient. c.
A. o. stands for Cartridges all ont. p"
Ii you wish II mans permission to pay
your addresses to his daughter, it is not
allowable to invite him to see you throw
bottle into the air aud shoot hole
through the bottom without breaking
the bottle, before making your errand
known. When at church it is always
but it is not worth while to waste space
giving this rule until the churches are
built.

his wife aud daughter! to San Francisco
recently to heur ''Patty" sing. They
took rooms in an upt town lodging house,
whence they sailed forth to see The

the Palace Hotel. They wandered
around the first floor awhile, finally
coming to stop near the elevator.

discover the ear moving up aud down,

Kisses OF Death.
Lnotroit FREQ Prcss.l

Remember" said q Fourth
street physician to his wife, as he
was leaving home for a few days,
"and do not let the children kiss
any one.
els it possible asked n sur
prised third party who was pres
ent, "that you consider it neces-
sary to give such instructions as
that? Where is the danger
1.-THE danger is so complicated,
and yet so certain, that it would
take too much time to describe it
here" said the doctor, looking at
his watch. "In my case all kinds
of people come to my house and
Office TO consult me, and they
often wait for hours. If one of
my children happens to come in
they are almost certain to talk to
it, and yon know almost the first
impulse with people who notice
children is to kiss them. Bah
it makes me shudder-ta tainted and
diseased breaths, lips blue with
cancer, foul and decayed teeth.
You would kill a stranger who
would waylay your young lady
daughter and kiss her by force,
but the helpless, innocent fix
yearoli child, susceptible as II
flower 30 every breath that blows,
can be alatod by every one who
chance o think OF it. tell you
it WASH; Jeaus alone who was
betrayed by kiss. Hundreds OF
lovely, blooming children are
kissed into their graves every
year"
"Bu,, doctor, how can mother
he so uugracious as to refuse to
allow people to notice her chill
dren ?"
"There need be no ungracious-
ness about it, or, if there were,
which is the most important-the
safety and well-being of the child,
or the permitting of a habit of
ill-breeding and doubtful morality
at best? Let the mother teach
the child that it is not kitten or
n lap-dog, to be picked up and
fondled by every stranger, and
instruct 1t TO resist any attempt
to kiss it Why, there are agents,
peddlera Of household wares, who
make it II custom to catch up a
prattling child, kiss and pet it,
and So interest the mother that
she will buy something she do,s
not want. / tell you there is
death in the kiss! The beloved
and lamentod Princess Alice ot
Hesse took diphtheria from the
kiss of her child and followed i

Adulteration of Food.

The Rurdi Press comes to the front,
in its Issue OF Saturday last, with stir
ring appeal to National and State legis-
lators to take some steps to provide fol
the stoppage of vile adulterations in
food, which is move in the right direc.
ton. The inordinate greed of not only
tho dealer, but the caterer, nowadays,
prompts them to impose on the unsus-
pecting customer by doetoring and con-
cealing tho unhealthy adulteraed food
without let or hinderance. There are
spasmodic Efforts to put a stop TO the sale
Of impure meats, but no efforts to hinder
the sale Of sun.hurnt potatoes, that
are as poisonous TO the system as
the scum from frog pond, even
when cooked has been made.
There is an occasional howl
about oleonargarine, but nothing
said about the tons of impure butter
that is one OF the Ingredients of modern
hotel and restaurant pastry, because it
is cheap. 1t is as seldom al inferior orun-
healthy article of impure oleomargarine
is found in tho market as that pure COW
butter, free from chemicals can be had.

O'ConneIi's Duel.

Captain Phillips, who recently
died, was present at the duel be-
tween Daniel O'Connell and
D'Esterre, which resulted in the
death Of the latter. Captain
Phillips said:

ton of very large field, which

be struck myself, and then skill
is out of the question; but il ] am
not, my antagonist may have
cause to regret his having forced
mo into this conflict The parties
were then very soon placed on
the ground. at, l think, twelve
PAGES distance, each having pis-
tolls, with directions % fire when
they chose, after a given signal
D'Esterre rather ngitated himself
by making short speech, dis
claiming all hostility to his Ro-
man Catholic count'yman, and
took his ground somewhat theat-
rically, crossing his pistols upon
his bosom. They fred almost
together, and instantly on the
signal. DEsterre fell, mortally
wounded. There was the greatest
self-posscssion displayed by both.
1t seemed to me a duty to narrate
these details in O'Connell's life

age questioned, and justice to his
memory now prompts me to re-
cord them here
