The most important lesson to be
learned by the public in reference to ty-
phoid fever is that it is a filth disease
sometimes, not generally, but al
ways. And perhaps the next in impor-
lance is that while the production of the
disease probably requires that the NOR
bific agent shall be brought into contact
with h alimentary mucous membrane,
as i'll food or drink, it is possible for the
salivary fluids i'll the mouth and throat
to absorb the poison from the atmosphere
n thus become the medium of its
transmission to the stomach. There is
also a third lesson OF no less value to us,
viz: That various articles Of food, and
especially milk, water and other fluid
food, possess the same property of alb
sorbing the fever poison from the atmos
phere and thus becoming the vehicles of
its introduction into the system.
My own observations are fully in keep
ing with the view that the absorption of
the poisonous carnations by the sail
vary secretions, and by food stored in
pantries and kitchens, but especially the
latter, furnishes the explanation of
nearly all the so-called sporadic cases
of true typhoid fever occurring in this
city. In a large proportion Of cases it
will be discovered on examination that
odorous emanations from kitchen drains,
but more frequently from privy vaults,
are easily %perceptible to the senses in the
rooms where food is stored and where it
is being prepared for the table. In most
of the observations have made on this
subject, it has appeared to be the privy
vault rather than the drain that has been
responsible for the evil.-Annals of Hy-

One of the best Of the numerous anec-
dotes Of the late king of Bavaria is re-
lated by a Munich artist. He was at
work one day on some %statuettes which
the king had ordered for a new park
when the royal botanist entered his
ntelier and tried 10 explain 10 him the
plan of the new grounds. The matter
was somewhat complicated, and the
artist did not quite understand some Of
the details, when the botanist suddenly
unbuttoned his coat and showed the
astonished sculptor the whole plan
drawn on his vest. He then explained
that he had Just been to see the king,
who, 10 make things perfectly clear, had
taken n piece Of charcoal and painted
the outlines VI the park on his white
vest, so that you may not forget it,, the
king had added, laughing Chicago

The police estimate that 5000 people
walk the streets of New York not know
ing where they shall sleep at night, and
10, 900 people sleep as best they can at
night, not knowing where or how they
shall break their fast after the coming
dawn. For these the situation is appall-
ing. and the sole balm, the solitary re-
lief that comes to one who thinks of IL
at all is hat %protracted endurance of
suffering accustoms its victims to bear
it, so that it really becomes a second ma
ture. but added to this great army is a
still greater, a multitude of the genteel
poor-men in threadbare garments,
women reduced to the last expedient of
sharp endeavor.
To them a roof is an mdispensibility.
To them appearance means much. Cir
cumstances of fact. if not the God Of
potentiality, are against them. The de
scent from moderation in living To pov-
erty and thence to restitution is easy.
The loss of friends and acquaintance
becomes n necessity. Shabby attire tells
their situation. The pawnbroker has his
finger on the pulse of desperation and
could give a more faithful photograph of
these poor creatures than the most ex-
pert, the best informed writer in the
world.

Putting Pictures In the No~wapapors-

The latest modern idea is illustrated in

difficulty in the way of success was the
effort to pour the old wine of politics

took the pencil of Hogarth to make the
rum-shop interesting, and even he could
not make it so to-day. Dogs, prize
fights, police news, are bad enough in
type, but how much worse. spread over
whole pages in a coarse picture! Had
the editors set aside their traditions; had
they been trained to a knowledge of the
requirements OF the new field; had they
cultivated the picturesque. the emotional,
the romantic. and the social in other;
words, presented the inner" side or sub
jective transfer of life; made a bright,
beautiful family paper, that every man
would have wanted to carry home with
him, the story of the first ten years of
the first illustrated daily paper would

1t is said that a process has been IN

which pictures in color, as well as in
black and white, can be printed without
the intervention of the stone. If this is
true, the day is not distant when we
shall nave the beautiful and picturesque

THE SOUTH AFRICANS poIsoNs-


Ga~me-Curious Effects
There are several poisons in use among
the aboriginal tribes of southern Africa
but that extracted from a caterpillar,
and designated by the natives "mangue.
is the most fatal. The pain which the
victims suffer who have been inoculated
with it must be fearful indeed; but 1t Is
not long endured, for two or three hours
generally put an end to the stricken
animals existence. or course, this time
is more or less protracted by the size of
the wound. the locality in which it is
situated. and the quantity OF the venom
used: for instance. or one of the tribu-
taries of the Lambesi, a lioness that had
been wounded at shutdown did not ex-
pire till the following daybreak, during
all which time the cries OF anguish that
she kept repeating, terribly told how
fearfully the poor creature was suffer
ing. On examination. this victim of the
poisoned arrow only had a slight pune
ture beneath the skin close to the flank,
but the nrmness OF the hide had pre-
vented the missile from falling from the
wound.
As the habits of semi barbarous peo-
Pile always possess great interest for me,
/ trust they do so for my readers, and 1
will therefore describe the two other
poisons in use among the Bush people.
and the manner in which they are en-
ployed to serve their purpose. First, l
advert TO the juice of the euphorbia.
This is a family of plants all alike foreign
to the European eye in appearance,
although not by any means strictly trop-
ical. Some species possess much more
poisonous matter than others. the most
deadly being in appearance like a crooked
pole with a bunch of long. hard leaves
decorating its summit. When employed
by the natives for the purpose above
spoken of, it is collected in quantities on
the margin of a small vley or pond of
water. when it is beaten between stones
till the necessary quantity of the juice
i~mpregnates the water.
At night unconscious game. probably
thirsting from the hours they have passed
In the sun-dried desert. come to the vley
to satisfy their craving for drink. but
scarcely have they done so when they be-
come intoxicated, and soon after lie
down to sleep the sleep that knows no
waking. 1t is strange that this poison is
much more injurious to horses, Zebras,
and quaggas, han it is to cloven-footed
or horned animals. In carnivorous ami
mails, such as lions, leopards, dogs, etc,
it does not produce death. but only stu
pefes them for the time being; at least
such was m observation in reference to
my dogs, when | knew they had drunk
a quantity of the diluted water.
The third poison used by these most
interesting natives, the Bushmen, is that
taken from the glands of the Manila
cobra. or puff-adder. with which the
points of their arrows are thickly coated.
Exposure appears to weaken these rep
tiles virus, for previous to any important
hunt taking place, the barbs of the tiny
weapons receive a fresh dressing of the
baneful fluid. Game killed by all the
above methods is eaten by the human
family, or carnivora, without producing
any ill effects. Parker Gilmore in Land
