From the Albany Journal, April p
An ambitious young lawyer received q
pointed lesson from q countrymau recently.
The latter, who was q dealer In milk, was i'm
jured by . butchers cart colliding with his
wagon. His vehicle was wrecked, his milk
was spilled on the street, and he was carried In
e bruised condition into Q neighboring drug

after healing ointment had been poured on the
wounds. remarked az he was about TO depart:
1.-THE butcher ought to pay for this. Here's my
name, lam u lawyer and shall be glad to DO
anything can Tor YOU" A day or two later
the lawyer was delighted to see the miikman
enter his otiace. Warmly greeting him and
offering him . comfortable chair, the barrister
expressed pleasure that he had decided 70 sue
the man who had injured him. "What do you
know about the accident" asked tho milkmau.
'Oh, know everything" enthusiastically no
piled the lawyer, and then he proceeded TO
state in detail all the circumstances Of the 90
cident. II am ysry, much obliged you." said
the faruaerS "Mr. H will subp0enA you ~ o

Inaam,n ntiOn I'm Egrs,

There is q condition of the egg, little known,
which considerably impairs its sanitary value
as an article Of food. Soon after it became the
practice to transport eggs in large quantities
and to longdistances by railway trains, 1t was
found on their arrival that adhesion had taken
place between the membranes of the yelk and
those OF the shell, SO that the yelk could not
be turned out OF the shell unbrOken. On ex-
animation by experienced Psychologists this was
found To be the result of true Inflammation: the
material OF the adhesion was found TO be pre-
cisely the same that of the plastic ex.
udation in Inflammation of the lungs or bowels
1t will at first seem absurd to speak Of infiam-
nation In such an uniformed mass as an egg:
but this arises from our forgetting that, struc.
tureless and unorganized as 1t seems, the egg,
even when fresh laid, Is living being and
capable OF disease from external causes, The
cause OF this inflammation Is undoubtedly the
shaking and friction from the motion OF the
cars, and 1t cannot but render the egg more or
less unhealthy, rs the products Of inflammation
can never be as salutary In food as those Of
healthy growth.-Bulietino Of the Tennessee Board
Of Health.

EressiOnal Library Reading Room.
A man with a crutch, a bandage over one eye
and a big swath of red flannel tied about one OF
his hahds, walked into the Congressional library
the other day. An habitue of the place nudged
a STAR reporter who was standing by, and
called attention to the newcomer. He slowed
his crutch away by the side of his chair, ad.
justed the bandage over his eye and rubbed his
side while waiting. Presently the attendant
brought him an armful OF books that seemed
pouring over these with the deepest interest.

In all our reading OF magazines and

paper, The Youths Companion, on the
subject Of Mental Epidemics. The

denies which periodically excite the
pablo to fever which is always fol-
lowed by a corresponding chill, as in
bodily diseases produced by miasma--
differing from physical disease, howev-
or, in this respect, that in physical
epidemics the chill comes before the
fever-in mental epidemics the fever
comes first, and the death chill OF con.
gestion afterwards ends the disease.
MEETAL EPIDEMIes.
The suddenness With which the prob
lem between labor and capital has tax
en- possession OF the minds OF men in
every civilized country during the pres
ent year, suggests a singu ar fact .auite
apart from It's political or social bearing.
1t Is the electric ripiditywhith which
certain feelings or convictions absoi b
public attention. The relations be-
tween labor and capital are not more
strained in 1886 than in 1885. The
causes for agitation have existed fer
years; hut the sudden development Of
the agitation Is due to what may be
called a mental epidemic.
Beliefs, crimes, emotions, religious
depressions and exaltations, seem 10
propagate themselves among human
beings by some mysterious mental in
lection.
Mackay says, "Whole communitie.

Millions OF people are simultaneously
impressed with one idea.''
In the ninth century the Christian
world went mad on the subject OF
witches; over sixteen thousand men and
women were burned in that outburst
OF zeal. In the tenth century witches
were forgotten, and the masses OF Eu-
rope rushed to the crusades. Later. we

OF such outbreaks remains, but the
agitation is transltory; no matter how
reasonable or how insane, it has it's ebb |

But the manifestation of their belief

But there are at intervals populnr
