How They illustrate the Cause and
Effects Of Epedemics.
At a recent meeting of the Paris Acad-
envy of Medicine. d. Alfred Durand
Claye, Chief Engineer Of Roads and
Bridges, submitted some diagrams rela-
tive to the epidemics of typhoid fever
and cholera which have visited Paris in
recent years. Typhoid fever appeared
to succeed heavy rains coinciding with
high atmospheric temperature, the cpl
demic attaining its maximum at the
time the rain ceased, the temperature re-
naming high: the appearance of cholera
conceded with strong south winds, fol-
lowed by an abnormal rise of the tenn
perature, and the epidemic ceased with
the advent Of strong north winds. the
mere density of population does not
seem to have had any influence on the
epidemic, which visited LOCALITIES where
the houses are thinly scattered and the
population not very dense: but when a
single dwelling was crowded, then the
mortality was most severe-in lodging
houses, for instance. In each region the
mortality was less in proportion as the
sewers was greater. Last year the max
imum mortality from cholera per 100,-
900 Inhabitants in one day in each of the
cities attacked was a follows: Toulon
72.72, Marseilles 1873, Naples 948, Paris

NLen of Gigantic statnre-

London Standard.
1t was once a much debated question
whether the average human stature had
been diminishing or increasing. The
praisers Of past mer. and times had no
difficulty in imagining that in the ear
lier periods every man was six feet up
wards and every woman five feet ten,
and till science came with its measuring
apparatus they had the best of the argu-
ment. There is little dispute now on the
subject, chiefly because statistics, coats
of armor and feats of strength have fl
nally settled that, with the giant ex-
ception, men of all places, epochs and
breeds have kept very much at the same
level.
The Hottentot and the Laplanders
have been always dwarfsh, and the
Caucasian, though the whole gamut Of
history, had been handsome and stately.
That giants are exceptional III a very
peculiar sense is shown by the fact that
they grow as often among people not
distinguished for more than average
statue rs among the taller nations.
a Scotch professor once fell on the
plan of measuring all his students and
noting their nationalties, so that he
might get some idea as to which of the
peoples were the tallest. He found that
Americans. especially those from the
west, were first in this odd competition,
Irishmen next, the Scotch next, and the
English shortest Of these four people
But it would have been no surprise to
him if more men of really gigantic size
could be found in England than any
where else, because no rule of average
seems to exist for such products. Geol-
ogy has rather refused to allow that there
were times when giants formed the rule
aad not the exception. Those days must
have been farther before the flood than
naturalists can intellectually focus.

The sobbing Texas Wrcns.

y Y. Dawn,
A stranger in the little cities OF south
western Texas is very often awakened
at early dawn by the beautiful but sor
rowful song of the house or sobbing
wren. If the stranger has been long
away from home and friends and is SEN
sitive to the impressions Of external ma
ture he never forgets the peculiar, mel
ancholy note of the tiny songster. 1t
begins in high, clear key, like the
twinkling of silver bells, and descending
gradually from one sweet chime to an
other still sweeter, it suddenly falters,
breaks off and sobs like a child-the
song dying away in a gasp The litsen
or is touched with sympathetic emotion
audmay find it difficult to suppress the
uncomfortable feeling that one of the
little ones in his own family circle, far
far away, is weeping and sobbing for
his return. The song is heard only in
the twilight Of dawn and is repeated but
a few times. Then the handsome little
singer with plump brown breast, speck-
led with shreds of black, retires through
some crevice in the house-top and is
rarely seen during the day.

Two More Important Gases.

Your agent being in Columbus. Ga. q few
days ago, and meeting the venerable brother
J. II. Campbell, we asked him for the news
His reply was, Il have two more important
cures effected by Swift's Specific to report.
This venerable man is known far and wide for
his unrcmtting labOrS of love in the behalf of
the poor Of Columbus. II win be remember
ed that the Swift Specific Co. has donated
quite an amount Of their famous medicine. to
be distributed by Mr.. Campbell among the
poor of the city; hence his remark He said.
II have just seen lady who has been great
~ annoyed by letter in one of her hands 1T
had given her much trouble and pain. She
SAID she had been treated by several physj
clans during the past three or four years with
the old remedies, but without giving any re-
lief. l suggested Swift's Specific and she took
four bottles and is now apparently perfectly
well her hand is smooth ana not a single siga
Of the disease is left. 1t is marvellous how this
medicine renoyates the system"
What about the other case p
Wei, that was a lady also. She had been
badly aHected with eczema for four years.
Her face, hands arms, as well as her body,
were covered with sores and scabs It wlS
that l have ever seen. The suffering Of this
poor creature was beyond expression. She
tried every remedy at hand, including mcTcu-
~ and iodide of potash, but she only grew
worse. she was in this condition when I first
saw the case. l soon had her taking Swift's
Specific, and she has now only taken two bot
ties, but every mark of the disease has almost
entirely disappeared. Her general health has
greatly improved. 1t is one Of the most re
httjEC cures blttL has come ElUGT my no.
tice, and in & ministry of sixty years have
mingled with every class of society and OBJ
served closely the variety Of diseases which
AFFECT humanity. Blood diseases are the most
numerous and the most difficult to remove
To overcome these diseases, it is my deliberate
Judgment that SWifts Specific is the grandest
blood purifier ever discovered. Its effects are
wonderful, and consider them almost mirac-
ulous. There IS no medicine comparable to it"

The majority of the negroes in my ma

end in 1888. The day and the hour were
appointed. They said nothing to the
whites. but the believers assembled in
their church and engaged in devout
worship. The whole night was passed
in prayer and singing. Just before day
they formed a procession and marched
around the church seven times, when it
was expected that the church should fall
to the ground and time would be no
more 1 cannot say whether the darkies
were thoroughly honest in these cere-
monies, or were acting as Pompey Of old,
who had long prayed for the Lord to
summon him home, and who, when one
night, after an unusually earnest appeal,
a rap was made at his cabin door and
the summons came, as he thought from
his Heavenly Master, made answer.
