Relatively low-lying sites are very
favorable TO cholera. Where the sur.
face OF the earth has an undulating out.
line, It will be found that districts and
individual houses which are situated on
the summit of the undulation very fire.
quently have no, or only a very small,
disposition to the development of an
epidemic Of cholera, while in the hollow
OF the undulation under like conditions
the opposite holds good. Tho truth of
this statement is seen in single districts
where parts or single houses exist on
the SUNNI. and others lie low.
Another feature which is found in
every epidemic is the falling of of the
disease in the neighborhood OF and on
mountain ranges. The Himalayan
mountains, those of Lebanon and the
Alps, have always formed the places of
refuge for fugitiyes from cholera The
immunity, or the slight susceptibility,
Of mountain ranges for cholera is wit
nessod in India as plainly a it is in
Europe. A familiar example is the
complete freedom from cholera of the
hill stations along the Himalayas, in
which, through frequent changes of
troops, the cholera has every chance of
being taken up from the plains. In the
severe epidemic of 1889 here were
only two cases Of cholera in nineteen
hill stations.
A similar experience is met with in
narrower areas. For instance, in Mu-
Mich 1894, the frequency Of cholera
was widely different in the seven bar
racks Of the garrison. In the low lying
Isar Kaserne occupied by cuirassIers,
heavy cavalry regiment), out of l, 00U
men there were forty cases Of cholera;
in the high-laying Max ii Kaserne with
two field artillery regiments) only three
cases, and this without there being any
difference in the construction of the
caserns, the occupation or the diet of
the men, OF the drinking water.

DIET AND FOOD
Divisions of Food-composltIon of n

Divisions of Food-composltIon Of tho
Human Body.
american Grocerl
Foods are divided into water; meaty
or albumenous substances; starches or
carbohydrates; fats; mineral matters;
accessory foods; all OF which have
their representatives in the body itself.
a human body is so ''watery" that the
and carefully dried, would come out a
shriyeled mass of about fifty pounds in
weight; the meaty substances are repre-
sentcd by muscle, the starchy by ely
cogen found in the liver, and by a sugar
(inosite) found in the muscles; fat is
present, padding angular part and Civ
ing a roundness to the frame; mineral
matters abound, especially in the bones
and teeth.
Tho composition of the human body
is somewhat as follows:
ADULT nan
bones ......lb per cent
Organs in the chest and abdomen. 9 per cent
fat and skin ...-................25p per cent
, per cent
Therefore, %supposing a person weighed
$50 pounds, SO pounds would be muscle,
37i POUNDS would be skin and fat, "a
pounds would be bone, and 3 pounds
would be brain.
More than half the weight of the body
is bone and muscle.
The amount Of water in food is very
large. A beefsteak contains rs per
cent. of water. In buying a pound only
%one-fourth of that pound is dry, solid
meat. Cabbages contain 50 to 90 per
cent. Of their weight Of water, and sue
culent fruits sometimes more than so
per cent. OF substances most com
monty eaten, rusks or biscuits are the
driest, and watermelons the most watery
OF foods.
When water is taken into the system
it assists without doubt in the building
up Of new tissues, in the repair Of old.
According to this view it is not merely
n dilutent of fluids, il does not simply
play an inactive part like n lubricant of
machinery, but is in the truest sense a
food.
Life cannot be maintained on pure
starch, sugar, or fat for n long time; on
the other hand, n purely meat diet can
maintain life indefinitely.
Sugar cannot he made the basis of
diet, but rice can, so that, taking COM
pick foods, rice heads the list. OF the
three great foods on which, with very
little addition, millions of human beings
liye-viz., rice, bread, and potatoes
rice is nearly all assimilated, fine
wheaton bread being almost equal to
rice, while with potatoes there is nearly
10 per cent. of waste, or substances
which pass away without being utilized.
So that in point of economy, and con
sidering the relative price Of the three,
rice stands first

The Democratic axe is falling silently,
but surely, in Washington. There is no
dull thud. The chop is painless. Every
official head that is escorted through the
back door wears n peaceful and almost
happy expression. There is also a smile
upon the countenance of the victor who
enters with the spoils. Thus both par
ties are made happy, the one being re-
lieved from official care, the other from
suspense and weary waiting. This.happi-
