LAREDO, TEX, April 29.-For some
time past trouble has been brewing
among the coal miners engaged in the
mines Of the Rio Grsnde and Eagle Pass
Coal Company, up the Rio Grande about
thirty miles. They are about $50 in nun.
Der, and as the mines are situated in q
stones throw of the river, the boundary
between the Uaitsd States and Mexico,
among them are great many belonging
to the most desperate class which infest
the border. They claim to be dissatisfied
with the weights they are getting at the
hands Of the company's weighers, and
have given notice that unless that
grievance and others OF trivial
nature are recsiHed on the LIST
Of May they will walk out
on strike. A great deal OF SINUS Cling
Is going on among them, and liquors,

Some people are pleased to use the
language that Memphis is in transition
state. Does that strike you us corrcct?'
THAT about expresses it. Memphis
is now in what may he properly
termed a transition state; she is pass
ing out Of the ways and habits OF village,
and is assuming the style and airs OF a
metropolitan city. Shall she progress or
shall she recede? The outside world SAYS,
she is about TO progress Shall We us
her own citizens, have less confidence in
her stability, good health and general
prosperity than the outside world mani-
tests? 1t is within the power of our own
people TO 90 ahead or stand still. To 90
ahead means the expenditure of large
amounts OF money. Our people want
good water, brilliant illumination, pure
gas, smooth and even streets, and aCccpta-
bic hospitals for the attention OF thescii, a
fine and imposing city hall and public
offices, convenient and sanitary sewers.
In fact, everything 10 attract the stranger

"Assuredly am. This form Of govern

zeal; II has been sustained as such. Shall
its borders be extended, will the extern
sion of the city limits north, east and
south benefit those who now live within
the city limits, and also do good to those
just outside OF the present limits? DO not
those thick settlements Just outside Of the
city limits require water, lights and
sanitary conditions, and the in
speCtion privileges, and grading Of
streets and many other things for their
general welfare. Will il not pay them to
pay these additional taxes in order 10 have
these additional benefits? Will it do for
the city, as it is now bounded, to permit
settlements upon our very edge TO become
unsanitary, possessing no sewers, and

ways. for one think not"

The Function of the Bile.

Among the many mooted questions In
physiology is the function of the bile. DR..
Dastre recently reported his observations in
this direction to the Societe de Biologie Of
Paris. He said that he had previously proven
that the presence of bile in the stomach
during different periods of digestion did not
take from the gastric juice its digestive pow
er; consequently it could not be the cause Of
vomiting OF Of severe gastric troubles At
the present time, owing to the success Of two
operations for cholecysto-intestinal fstula,
he thought himself in position to conclude
that the bile contributed, as well as the pam
create juice, to the digestion Of the fats
an opinion which is counter to that expressed
by Claude Bernard. In fact, the two animals
being in good condition four months after
the establishment Of the fistula, they had
been given meal of fat and milk, and then
slaughtered during full digestion. The ex-
animation showed with absolute clearness
that the lacteals were transparent between
the stomach and fistula, and, ON the contrary,
entirely white and milky below the fistula;
that is to say, where the bile had been able
to get, consequently, if observation on the
rabbit shows us that the bile alone is unable
to emulsify the fats, the preceding expert
ence shows us that the pancreatic juice alone
is also powerless They must he mingled in
order to act well. In other words, bile as
we'll as the pancreatic juice takes part in the
digestion of fats.

Smokers Vertigo.

Dr. Decasne is reported in The New York
Medical Record as having recently investi-
gated a number Of cases Of vertigo in
smokers. Out Of sixtythree patients forty
nine were between so and 66 years Of age.
More than half of them suffered, in addition,
from digestive troubles, with constipation al
ternatihg with diarrhea, insomnia, paipita-
tions, dyspnGa, and diuresis In the third
of the number there was marked intermit-
tence of the pulse, and granular pharyngitis,
while others suffered from aphthe, am
blyopia, etc. Thirty-seven were persons
who smoked habitually on an empty stomach;
and these suffered from vertigo, principally
in the morning. The vertigo generally coin
cided with suppression of perspiration and
diminished excretion of urine. The treat
ment consisted mainly in regulating or sup
pressing the cause, but thirty-three out Of
thirty patients ceased to suffer on
merely refraining from smoking on an empty
stomach.

Story of an Elephant Funeral.

The st. James Gazette prints the following
letter from a planter in Ceybn, giving a
remarkable account of the removal of the
body of dead elephant by its comrades Of
the herd:
IL went after herd of eight elephants,
and came up with them about 3 p m. After
stalking | got a chance at the one which
seemed about the biggest Of the herd, and
dropped It at the first shot. 1t turned out
to be a big COW elephant About two hours
afterward had the tail and feet cut off and
taken to the bungalow. Next morning
went to the spot to look at the elephant and
found her, or what remained of her, non est.
After looking around, saw the herd had
been around during tho night, and soon dis
covered track where they seemed to have
retired in body. followed this through q
thick bamboo jungle, and about 800 yards
further on, / came upon the dead elephant,
lying in the bottom Of rocky stream.
Judging from appearances, the body Of
the elephant had been carried to the top Of the
bank, and from there rolled into the stream.
From the tracks it was PLAIN that the body
had not been rolled, but carried to the bank,
and it was plain that it had been rolled
through the managrass, which grows on the
sides of the stream The jungle through
which the body was brought to the stream
was very heavy, with bamboos growing
close, and the track which the elephants
made was several yards wide Some sur
prise was expressed at the circumstances by
my neighbors till / showed them where the
elephant had been shot and where its tail and
feet had been cut off and where the body lay
in the stream, which proved conclusively
thas by some means or other the body had
got over the intervening space in the night"
10 Is difficult to understand how elephants
with their trunks and feet could raise and
support the dead body of comrade. How
ever, they seemed to have managed it
