IN a PAPER read bV DIR. CYRUS II

IN a paper read by DR.. Cyrus Ed
son, the other night before the New
York academy of medicine, he made
three precautionary suggestions to
his hearers who desired to avoid
typhoid fever. He recommended
the avoidance Of we'll water, the use
of none but boiled milk and the care
ful washing Of the hands before eat
ing. Typhoid fever, it is generally
conceded, comes through the mouth
and stomach. If the fever germs
are not taken directly into the sys-
tenn they are considered as perfectly
harmless.

householder neglect to provide an
ample store of fuel for the seasons
needs, in popular belief, the dis
gusted Yule-swains, or Christmas
COLLINS, will so befoul the woodpile
that there shall be no getting at its
contents. There, also, it is that the
girl who wishes, nuptually speaking,
to learn her fate, places table in the
centre of a vacant chamber, and on ii
two glasses-the one of water, the
other brandy; then taking broom
she must sweep the room three times
carefully, against the sun; and if she
is to enter the married state her
future husband will appear before
she completes the third round and
drink from the water glass, if a sober
man, or from the brandy tumbler il
he be a drunkard.

fact that although Cleveland had a

this year 81 electoral votes being

The New York World which is to-day

Of this country into the belief that Pro-
lection is the bulwark Of their high
wages, and appeals solely to their ignot.
ancs of econmic facts, and their race
prejudice against whatever is foreign,
and says to Mr.. Blaine:
"The World challenges you to appeal
totheir intelligence. and to submit to it's
Eve hundred thousand Democratic read.
ers open TO conviction any facts and any
evidence you can offer to prove your as
s~ertions true.
The World particularly challenges you
to explain how much Of their high wages
in unprotected industries is due to Pro.
lection and how much to its intrinsic
worth; whether the lowest wages paid in
the protected industries Of our State is
the best that Protection can do for the
protected workmen Of the whole country;
and how, apart from. intelligence and
skill, Protection can prevent the redue-
zion Of the wages of the protected white
worker in the New England cotton mills
to the level OF their wages paid to the
protected colored worker in the South
western cotton mills, which is not lessthan
the wages paid the white English or
Scotch "pauper."
The World particularly challenges you
to show by facts and reason how Protee-
ton can prevent the high wages paid in
any protected industry, in any one State,
from falling to the level Of the lowest
wages paid the protected worker in that
industry in any other State; how it can
prevent these lowest wages from going
still lower; and how much higher the
lowest wages in protected industries are
here under Protection than they are in
the same industries, on the average, in
England, Scotland or Wales under
Free Trade"

A suit for divorce begun in New York
city raises 3 novel point Of law which has
not yet been settled by the courts. The
case is this. The husband got . divorce
from his wife m years ago, afterward
married her again and now seeks a sec.
ond divorce. The question arises under
that provision Of the statute which pro-
hibits q divorced defendant from remar
rying. In this case the wife was barred
from marrying another man. But was
she barred from remarrying her divorced
husband! This point was raised in q re.
cent case that went to the Court Of Ap.
peals. The trial Judge ruled that the
same divorced parties could not lawfully
rsmarry. The Court Of Appeals remarked
that il was . very close question, but
said that it was not necessary to decide
it in the case then up. If either Of the
parties is not legally free to marry the
second marriage is not valid-is in fact
no marriage. To . husband seeking .
divorce the invalidity of the marriage
would be equivalent to . divorce. But
when the wife is the complainant the
invAlidity Of the marriage would defeat
her claim for alimony.

The Nevada (CAl.) Herald talks good
sense in the following advice to boys;
The really competent man seldom fails
of being in demand. He may not always
meet with financial success, and he may
have periods Of failure and depression.
but his services are generally needed by
some one. and he need not want for en-.
ployment if he desires it. The young
man who wants to avoid the enforced
idleness of older men he sees around him,
should prepare himself for some kind of
occupation at which he will be master.
1t matters but little what line Of business
he engages in if he becomes the best there
is in that line. Careful preparation be-
fore and conscientious devotion to his
calling after he enters upon it will always
secure him occupation and Independence.
Sticking to the business selected through
thick and thin-will win. shifting from
one thing to another will ruin the chances
Of any young man. Select the kind Of
work that is congenial, and go through
with it. But some kind Of work should
be selected, and an effort to be the best in
that line should continuously and per.
sistently be made. II is the patient plod-
der that wins in the end. There is .
chance for the industrious and intelligent

shocking Accident.

A Steubenville, OHIO, special says:
A peculiar accident occurred near
this place this forenoon, resulting in
the death of George Owens, his wife
and son. Two men were engaged in
digging a well on their farm and were
hosting earth and stone with a wind
lass and heavy bucket. As they were
drawing up a heavy load the rope
broke and the bucket fell, striking the
son, who was in the well. As soon as
assistance could he procured the
father was lowered into the well,
where he found his son. He had him
drawn up to the surface and the rope
was again lowered for the father, who
was hoisted almost to the surface when
the rope broke again and Owens fell to
the bottom, breaking his neck. He
died instantly. Mrs. Owens was SO
shocked by the news of the death of
both her husband and son that she
has since died.

James Kelly, an old-time Nevada
crook, is under arrest at Oakland, Cal
i~fornia, for burglary. The Times re-
ports him as saying that in 1881 he,
aided by two pals, dug through a
brick wall into a jewelry store in Car
son and secured jewelry worth &c.
900. For this job I've served seven
years in the State Penitentiary.
While MIR. Kelly is giving himself
away, he should tell the truth. II
was Manning's jewelry store in Vir-
ginia City that he burglarized on the
festive occasion referred to.
Mr.. Kelly was then a handsome
youth. During his travels in the
West, an elderly lady OF San Jose,
with a handsome (bank) figure, be-
came enamored with him, but his
roaming disposition wouldn't permit
him to settle down for life, and after
striking the old lady's bank account a
good lick he left her to take up his
quarters in the Nevada State Prison,

work for the California Girls.

How many minds will 90 back
fondly TO the glories of the old New
England "husking bees" when it is
announced from that wonderful State
of California, on the shores OF the
sunny Pacific, that all the city girls
are Just now going out into the rich
vineyards TO pick fruit. Our lively
contemporary, the Vallejo Chronicle,
tells MS that ga number OF Vallejo
girls have gone out into the country to
assist in gathering fruit" This has
been the custom among the girls of
Northern Solano for some time, it
being considered by the girls a sort OF
picnic rather than labor. One man in
Napa Valley has 30 girls at his ranch
cutting fruit, and in one day they
spread eleven tons on the trays, ac-
cording to tine Vacaville Reporter.
This is about seven hundred and fifty
pounds for each girl. and if they can
consider such work a picnic, there can
be no question that the social and ro-
mantle accomplishments OF such toll
far exceed those Of the old husking
bees and the chop pickin' meetin's OF

Our people went down there to cool
off, having heard that the riverside

The obese moTtals were seated up TO
their chins in the river. II was the
only way in which they could prevent
