The contngion OF Consumption.
New York World,

l@N' .
The contagiousness or infectiousness of con-
sumption was long pooh poohed by the strong
minded as resting on no better basis than
nurses tales. 1t was not thought best that
the healthy and consumptive should occupy
the same bed, but at the same time this was
done for convenience, although usually with
some uneasiness. When Koch discovered the
bacilli of tuberculosis, that is to say tho
germs characteristic of consumption, he did
much to confirm the old idea. But he was
unable to decide whether those germs were
the cause or the result of the disease. The
British Medical association has attacked the
problem from the side OF experience. 1t
sought to discover exactly what basis there
was for the plea that consumption was catch.
ing"
For this purpose it issued a circular which
ELECTED LOIS replies; 6T3 were simply neg
alive in their character. making neither for
nor against the theory; 50 were doubtful;
l05 were distinctly adverse. But POI afiirma-
tive replies revealed astonishing facts. In
1872 cases the Observers reported that tho
disease passed between husband and wife,
although in $50 it was distinctly stated that
there was N o family history of the disease in
the case Of the partner who caught the
disease. In one case a young man died
after being nursed by his sister. She died,
and so did her most intimate friend. The
affectionate care and loving friendship were
simply deadly. A lawyer caught the disease
from his wife, and his servant from him; all
died. A dress-maker died from consumption,
and so within two years did three young
apprentices. The case is not absolutely
proved, but it is foolish if not fatal rashness
to overlook such warning facts.

Gravel for Dyspepsin.

New Orleans imes-Democrat
A New York man dined at fancy restau-
rants so long that he contracted dyspepsia.
He tried various remedies for it without
avail, and consulted several high-priced doc
tors with not the slightest benefit. He then
thought he would study nature and see if he
could not find relief. He observed that
chickens and other ~barnyard fowls were
never troubled with indigestion to such IN
extent as to make them complain about it.
He also observed that they swallowed large
quantities Of pebbles, sand, pieces of brick,
and bits OF glass with their food. He re-
solved to initiate their example. He did so
with the best results. He used marble dust
instead of salt on his beefsteak, and filled his
pepper box with sea sand. Receiving SO
much benefit from these kinds of grit, he
proceeded to swallow gravel and pieces Of
plastering. In a few months he was entirely
cured. A "prominent physician" says gravel
is undoubtedly good for dyspepsia, but that
it should be taken under the direction of a
doctor.

When the housewife appreciates that
variety is quite as much the spice of life
in a physical sense as ina mental one, and
that consequently her husband will be
better prepared to work successfully, and
her children more beautifully nourished
as soon as she learns to stimulate their
appctites and strengthen their muscles by
an attractive diversity of well prepared
food, our vigor as a people will be in
creased, our capacity for effort enlarged,
our wealth augmented, and our progress
quickened. The above is from MH.

GEN. KittreII. the Intense.

The Austin Reveille tells this on Gen.
Kittrell, on whose tongue sits forked
lightning and in the recesses Of whose
ample throat sleeps resonant thunder:
speaking OF justifying murder We re-
member hearing Gen. Kittrell make a
speech as a prosecuting attorney in a MUIR
der trial while he was Attorney General.
Among other features of the defense it was
urged that the man killed was no account
and the world was better off without him.
Gen. Kittrell answered that plea in about
this style: Though the deceased was 80
low and so utterly contemplate that it
would take Archimedes with his lever a
million years to raise him to the level of q
cur dog, the defendant had no right to
kill him. Though the dead mans mother
would blush for shame at his very men,
DRY; though his presence was SO foul that
all shuuned him as a viper, still his life
was sacred Kits invective was so fierce
that he lost the suit, because of the SYM
pathy he caused the jury to feel for the
accused"

II will be a much more sumptuous repast
than was at first intended, and the Pro-
lessor will doubtless, discharge his func-
tions with dignity and grace. The hall
will be prettily decorated, and the music
will be the best Riegelhuth can furnish.
The young ladies wish US to state That no
tickets will be sold at the door. Those
persons whom they wish to attend will be
sunplied with tickets by the committee.
This is emphatic. No gentleman, unless
escorted by a lady. will be allowed on the
Ioor. There is no doubt that the enter
tainment will be an entire success. There
are fears that the hall may not be able to
contain all who come.

shotgun reconciliation.

A Carson Valley farmer put a load Of
buckshot, the other night, into a fellow
who came to the rear of his dwelling in q
sleigh, with which to pack off said rancher's
willing sister and her luggage. The
rancher wouldn't have it, and turned
loose on the outfit with a shotgun. The
ardent breast of the eloper was filled with
buckshot as the result, but his heart,
which had already been pierced, was not
reached by the unpoetic lead. The flesh
wounds proved wholesome, for the wrath
Of the marksman was appeased by the fear
Of prosecution. He is now nursing the
man whom he shot, and bows to the in
evitable marriage, which will take place
as soon as his victim RECEIVERS.

ON the sled.

Our boys and our girls are having royal
sport in scudding down the slippery hills
on their sleds, and not otherwise as adults
sometimes send. We have the finest in
clines ito say nothing of i%nclination) for
the sport here in Eureka that any town
in the State can boast Of. There are some
safe streets to coast on and some that are
dangerous. Young America, Of course,
prefer the latter. They can be seen gliding
at lightning speed from the Clarke street
summit down across Main with q velocity
that takes them, with a fine start and good
steering, all the way to the big ditch. Fri
day about noon a boy while darting across
Main street ran into Jim Powell's sleigh
with such force as to bend a brace. Luck
lily the boys sled struck so far back, for
the chances are if he had been carried in
front and under the feet OF the horse which
was trotting, he would have emerged in
such a condition that his mother would
not have known him; perhaps, he might
have made himself the chief figure in a
q funeral scene. 1t is wonderful the es-
capes that boys make.

A Lively Dispute for the Possession

hhsehf DAsputc tOF tne FOaBessAOhA
Of a Diamond Ring.
The sporting fraternity of Eureka. as
well as the business portion Of Main street,
we're. excited to. an extraordinary pitch
last night over the question as to who won
the diamond ring raffl ed of at 6 O'Clock in
the evening at the Truckee saloon. The
ring is valued at SIPS and the diamond is
rather q handsome stone. The way we get
the story is this: Forty-four had been
thrown by somebody, who being there
upon offered $40 for his chance, sold it.
Later OIL Ed. Jscobus, for Charley Greek,
threw AT. Swapping Andy" who was
present, went up TO Lautenschlager's sa-
loon, where he found Greek and offered
him rs cents for his throw, stating that A
had been thrown. Greek accepted this
offer of a discount Of rs per cen on what he
had paid for the throw. Swapping
Andy" then returned to the Truckee and
AZ winning, claimed the diamond. Greek
protests and demands the prize himself.
He claims that he canno lose his throw,
because its transfer was obtained from
him through fraud. He says that Andy
misrepresented the case, and, though he
did not tell him 30 in direct words, gave
him plainly to understand that A was the
highest throw that had been made, and
that his (Creek's) throw Of Al, though al
ready past, had not been made; and that
not calculating he could beat A, which
Andy made him believe was the best that
had come out Of the box, he was willing to
sell his chance at the discount named.
Andy, ON the other hand, in urging his
claim to the ring, says he was not bound
to give Greek any information. He simply
offered Greek a certain price for his chance,
which was accepted. He admits that he
knew AZ had been thrown for Greek, and
that six-bits was q very little to
pay for the strong prospect Of winning
q diamond valued at S125. He says, how
ever, that he did not have q 'sdead thing"
because there were 20 throws left after
Creeks, and he might, after all, be putting
up his six-bits for nothing. At last
accounts Provost was holding the diamond
while being pressed by the opposing
claimants, each demanding it for himself,
and he was not able to decide 10 whom he
should rightfully surrender it. 1t is
likely that the question would be decided
by recourse to law if such matter could
be considered in court, but as the statutes
do not recognize such . transaction, it
must be determined elsewhere. 1t will
probably be decided according to sporting
rulea.

Ruinous Lottery Gambling.

In the history of the Pacific Slope,
during the past 81 years, in which time
millions upon millions have been squan-
dered in the purchase of lottery tickets,
there are only two memorable instances
where investors made great profits. The
first was an Italian, whose name has
escaped the Tribune, who won $100, 900 in
the Havana Lottery. He and q friend
were partners in the lucky ticket, and
before the prize was paid the friend" fell
a murdered victim to the others greed.
The second instance was hat of q man
named Bouton, a prosperous livery stable
keeper in San Francisco. He won $l25,-
600 in the same venture, resulting in his
utter physical and financial ruin.-Carson
Tribune.
Our neighbor flies the track in substi-
tuting its memory for the record Of lucky
ticket-holders In the Havana and Louisi-
ana Lotteries. In the main. however, its
argument is just. ALI gambling is bad.
But does it not occur to the Tribune that
ours is q 'sbad" world? It has always
been and will ever be 30. 1t is only
through the existence of the bad that the
cognition of the good is possible. With
out the bad, then, what would our estims-
BILE contemporary do for something good
to exhort the people to 1t is eloquent to
be Quixotic, but unless our memory fails
