Continuing in this line the ex-railroader
spoke casually of the habit people have of
riding on sleeping cars Said he: Most pso-
pie get into berth with their head toward
the engine. There is hardly one sleeping-car
passenger in a thousand who doesn't
insist on their berth being made
up with the pillow at the end
nearest the locomotive. Why this
is so one can hardly explain. Now the sensi-
bic man will ALWAYS occupy a sleeping-car
berth with his feet towards the engine. He
may run some risk of taking cold in the draft
that comes from the window, but he runs this
risk while in a sleeper anyway. In sleeping
with your head towards the front of the
train, ID case of collision or sudden stop
ping; you are driven headf1rst against the
partition, and your neck is broken, or you
suffer injury to your spine that may make an
invalid of you for life. If you happen to be
lying with your feet toward the engine, they
strike the partition, your knees naturally
bend, and you stop as easily as though you
had alghted on an air cushion. 1t is no
ticeabe act that seven-eighths of the people
on sleeping cars killed in collisions have their
necks broken

anu say it is De, onu possible explanation by
human reasoning. Tuere was no miracle
about it. l saw the man and had talk with
him and he told me that he sat in one seat
with his feet resting on the other, and that
the two children that were saved were sleep
ing on the seat just behind him. This explains
the escape of these three souls. When the
collision came of course the seats were
crushed against each other and those pasSen-
gers who were sitting naturally in their seats
with their feet on the floor were pinned down
by the seats ahead of them being pushed
against their knees. OF course this was in-
possible in the case of the man who escaped
and the children. L have been in several
railway accidents in my day and l have no.

1T is all nonse nse about steady diet
on oysters being injurious to the sys-
tenn, said wealthy Thirty-fourth street
physician to a reporter the other day.
Many persons think so, however. 1t
may be that oysters do not produce the
most pleasant results when cooked in a
rich style and eaten just before going to
bed. When taken with wine late at
night, of course, if there is any bad eff
feet the next day the oysters are blamed
for it. Oysters have excellent medicinal
qualities, are nutritious, and when
plainly cooked or eaten raw are very
wholesome, especially 50 in cases of in
digestion. Oysters never produce indi-
gestion, and that is something that can
not be said of any other alimentary sub
stance. During my experience | have
found in several case where oysters have
~been taken daily they have done much
toward curing the patient. Invalids
have discovered in oysters the required
aliment, besides being by far the most
agreeable food to take. Raw oysters,
too, are said to be very good for hoarse.
ness, although have never tested their
merits on that point. It is my belief
that the oyster is the most healthful
article of food known to man. New

Animals get rid Of their parasites by
using dust. mud clay, etc. Those suf-
fering from fever restrict their diet,
keep quiet, seek dark, airy places, drink
water, and sometimes plunge into it.
When a dog has lost its appetite it eats
that species of grass known as dogs
grass, which acts as an emetic and a
purgative. Cats also eat grass. Sheep
and cows. when i'll. seek out certain
herbs. An animal suffering from chronic
rheumatism always keeps, as far as pos
sible. in the sun. The warrior ants
have regular organized ambulances.
Latrieilie cut the antennn of the ant.
and other ants came and covered the
wounded part with transparent fluid
secreted in their mouths. If chim-
panzee is wounded it stops the bleeding
by placing its hand on the wound or
dressing il with leaves and grass. When
an animal has a wounded leg or arm
hanging on it completes the amputation
by means of its teeth.
A dog on being stung on the muzzle
by a viper was observed to plunge its
head repeatedly for several days into
running water. This animal eventually
recovered. A sporting dog was run over
by carriage. During three weeks in
winter it remained lying in brook,
where its food was taken to it. This
animal recovered. A terrier hurt its
right eye. 1t remained under counter,
avoiding light and heat, although it
habitually kept close to the fire. 1t
adopted general treatment, rest and
abstinence from food The local treat
ment consisted in licking the upper sur
face of the paw, which it applied to the
wounded eye; again licking the paw
when it became dry. Animals suffering
from traumatic fever treat themselves
by the continued application of cold
water, which NJ. Delaunay considers to
be more certain than any of the other
methods. In view of these interesting
facts we are, he thinks, forced to admit
that hygiene and therapeutics as pro-
duced by animals may, in the interest of
psychology be studied with advantage.

Tl,e virus of Glandern.

Chambers has become 50 prevalent and
SO destructive in Illinois that the state
livestock commission will probably
hasten to avail itself Of the results Of the
recent investigations of NM. Cadeac and

this disease to the destructive agen y Of
atmospheric air and heat. In general
way it may be stated that these prove
that the virus-like Kocll's cholera germ
lis rendered inert by thorough drying.
fragments of farcy buds from the lungs
retain virulence in the central parts as
long as twenty-four days, while the
more external layers lose theirs at rates
dependent on tile facility with which
they become desiccated il the atmos-
phere. An atmosphere saturated with
moisture and at ordinary temperatures
preserves the virulence Of the morbid
humors for very long periods of time

for two minutes in water suifices to de-
stroy its activity, but simply pouring
boiling water on the morbid material
does not destroy It's yiruIence. Chicago
