cisco says: The discovery Of
the horrible wholesale practice
which the Chinese have com.
mitted under the very noses NJ
the city authorities, has created q
deep and intense excitement. The
knowledge that such a mass of putrir
tication was lying exposed in the very
heart of the city, while at the same
time the drainage and sewers of the
city are known to be u~nwholesome
and filthy, created a feeling of fear
for the health of the city after all the
boxes containing the remains of Che
dead Cinnamon had been removed IN
the morgue.
The city coroner when interviewed
in regard to the matter, stated that
when he arrived at the cellar in which
the boxes were stored and the purified
remains which mad still to be boiled.
were lying, he set to work with a
Ratchet to break open the boxes.
There were some 60 bodies in all.
Each of them contained a tin case in
which were carefully rolled up in oiled
cloths a number of human bones;
smaller bones and long strips of skin
were wrapped up in a separate parcel
and placed within the larger one.
On the outside OF the box was a ia~
bel in Chinese characters, indicating
the name of the person while living,
so that the remains could be claimed
by relatives on arrival at China.
The most boxes containing remains
were on examination found to have
come from cities in the interior state.
The remains were shipped from there
to San Francisco in common lead
boxes. Those that come from the
interior are boiled and prepared be-
fore shipment, so that no odor is pre-
ceptible enroute. Only those remov-
ed from the San Francisco cemetery
have flesh still on them when
brought to the preparation cellar. 1t
was the intention to have shipped all
those on the steamer City of Picking
which sails Saturday next. 1t is
rumored that the Chinese companies
will bring action against the coroner
for the removal of the boxes and re-
mains.

limitation to enterprises and proper

reasons for this swathing, the first of
which is that they think it makes
the limbs grow straight; the second,
that 1t turns baby into a compact

thus, infants have been said to re
semble the tail OF a lobster, or even
its whole body. In the north they
are often hung from a long springy
pole stuck IN the wall, to be out Of

they are supposed not TO mind il.
Their cradles, which are very primi-
tive, are also frequently suspended
by a spiral spring from the roof,
which must be more comfortable
than the pole. Both in Swedish and
Norwegian Lapland people take these
"swaddlings" TO church. But in.
stead OF carrying them into church
they make hole in the snow out

them In it, leaving q small aperture

bagginess is frequently due to the
fact that the trousers originally be-

their size. Add to this that the feet

Scarcely any doubt exists in the minds
OF scientific men about the appearance
of cholera in this country another sea-
son. The extent and virulenee of the
disease will depend entirely upon the
sanitary condition Of the country and
the physical condition of the people.
Perssns in a perfectly healthy oondi-
ton have little to fear from its ap-
proach. DIR. Koch, of Berlin, in his
recent writings upon the subject, says:
Under ordinary oircum stances, the
baciili, introduced by the mouth, are
destroyed III the stomach, but given a
arrangement of this organ due to er
rors of diet or other causes, and the
bacillus is enabled to escape the action
OF the acid gastric juice, and to reach
the alkaline intestinal fluid, where it
poliferates, sets up irritation, diarrhoea,
and all the typical symptoms of chol-
eraic seizure" De Haven's Dyspepsia
Cure is remedy that supplies the acid
that is wanting In the digestive juices
