An AntidOte for Cholera,

lErOm the New Ork Times.
A discovery has been made in regard
to cholera, namely, that marriage is a
phrophylactic so far as men are con-
cerned. Recent statistics of the chol-
era in France show that married men
are much less liable to be attacked by
cholera than bachelors. In popula-
ton of 100, 900 men between the ages
of rs and so, 81 unmarried men died of
cholera while only 18 married men fell
victims to the disease. Between the
ages OF 80 and IS the mortality from
cholera was IS among bachelors and
81 among married men, and between
the ages OF so and SIS, 167 unmarried
men and only Summarized men died. 1t
is thus evident that in time of cholera
the married man has more than three
times as many chances of life as the
unmarried man has.
No attempt has yet been made to
explain this remarkable fact, but it is
not, on the whole, difficult of explain
alton. The married man lives in cir
cumstances more favorable to health
than those in which the bachelor lives.
For instance, his food is better, for he
has a wife to look after it, and in
many cases he buys his meat, his gro.
ceries and his vegetables himself, where
as the unmarried man daily risks his
digestion at restaurants or trihes reck.
lesslessly with it at clearinghouse
tables. The married mans linen and
sheets are properly aired, and he is
made,to change his clothing when the
weather changes, to wear rubber over
shoes and to 60 to bed at decent hours,
whereas the bachelor has no one to
see that he is properly clothed, and
that he does not risk his health by
keeping unholy hours.
If a calm frame of mind and an alb.
sence of nervous dread contribute to
exemption from cholera, the married
man IS peculiarly fortunate. In chol-
era time the moment the nervous
bachelor feels the slightest pain he
begins to fancy that he may have con-
tracted the cholera, and he ends by
frightening himself into genuine at
tack. On the other hand, when q
married man has pain he mentions
it to his wife, who instantly replies:
'stuH and nonsense! You've no more
got the cholera than I have. Why, ]
have just such a pain every day in the
week" whereupon the married man is
encouraged and consoled and straight
way forgets the cholera. In case he
really has symptoms of the disease
his wife promptly sends for the doctor
and compels her husband to keep quiet
and take the proper remedies, but the
unfortunate bachelor who is snitten
with cholera sees himself deserted by
frightened servants, and is left to die
or recover by himself. : !

Expert CoGhterfciting.

United States Detective w. G. Bauer
to-day returned from Memphis, an
nouncing the conviction OF the cele-
brated counterfeiter Martin Ogle. A
reporter this afternoon found Detec-
tive Bauer in his room surrounded by
piles of counterfeit bills and looking
over the tools with which the counter
feiter accomplished his work. To the
reporter he explained the processes,
which certainly display q wonderful
amount OF ingenuity and delicate work
nanship.
Ogle had procured a genuine $40 bill
and split this in halves, this being in
itself a remarkable operation. The
two sheets thus made were so thin that
they were transparent. He made a
plate of copper and brass, little
larger than the bill, and spread one of
the sheets on top of it. With steel
tracing pencil of his own manufacture
he engraved through the sheet it's exact
counterpart on the plate. The other
half was engraved on different plate
in a similar manner, and then he was
ready for printing his spurious money
This method of workmanship looks
very simple, but it is the first timeit has
been done by q counterfeiter, as it is
almost impossible to split the bill.
The method always before used is as
follows: The Workman took, say, q
$40 bill, and spread over it piece of
transparent gelatine paper, and traced
the figures of the former on the latter
The metal plate was next put in use,
and was coated with a solution OF
shellac. On this the gelatine paper
was pasted, and when torn off it left
on the shellac the outline of it's figures.
By following these in the solution
they were also traced in delicate lines
on the plate. The shellac then being
washed off the latter they could becut
to the right depth, and the counter
feiter was ready for his work. Ogle's
method obviated these three or four
methods and rendering the engraving
on the plate far more accurate, as the
correctness of the lines was necessari-
ly lost through SO many transfers.
This man thus accomplished a piece of
work alone and unaided, with tools o.
his own manufacture, when the ma
tional government paid over $780,
600 for steam machine to do the
same thing. Detective Bauer showed
Ogle's tools, which were fitted to rough
wooden handles, but possessed points
as sharp as steel. He also displayed the
genuine bill split III two sheets, and
perfectly transparent. He had on a
table several packages OF bills of Ogle's
manufacture, amounting in all to $780,
600, in tens and twenties. They were
all on the Third National Bank Of
Cincinnati, but the new plates were in
tended for the Queen City Bank.
"Ogle," said Detective Bauer, "is
the first man who has issued any spu-
rious money during the last six years,
and he has shown an almost unex-
amp]ed skill and astuteness. His
brother, who has been returned to the
Pennsylvania penitentiary, knew
nothing about this workmanship, but
was merely kind of head servant to
Martin. The latter did all his work
on a fatboat, and scattered the
money chiefly at river points. He
turned over to me in all $4,000 Of
about the best counterfeiting ever
saw"

History will take care of the great
events OF to-day and hand them down
to our great grandchildren in many a.
ponderous volume; but themore inter
esting picture of the daily life of their
ancestors will have to be made from
the advertisements now printed in the
daily papers. The Romans wrote
their advertisements and notices on
the blank walls OF buildings, and these,
as we find them in Pompeii TODAY,
give an animated and life-like repre-
sentation of the very things we desire
to know about this once gay and
pleasure-loving people. But modern
life reflects it's interesting little phases,
moods, rivalries and concerns in the
broad pages of the daily journal; and
a hundred years hence the ADVERTISE
ments in some we'll preserved copy of
the Sunday edition will give more
vivid picture OF what is going in the
city to-day than all the solemn his
tories furnish. It is the advertiser
who writes for posterity.

Maj. STElNBERG, OF the United States
army, an expert in the matter of dis
infectants for contagious diseases,
made several tests in Brooklyn recently
by which he determined that steam is
a better disinfectant OF cholera and
smallpox germs than sulphuric acid
is. Bales OF rags were infected with
the germs and were treated some with
the fumes of acid and others with
steam. Afterward rabbits were in
oculated with the germs, and only the
animals inoculated with those treated
by steam escaped death.
