The Canadian ''ssa Cucumber"

In the waters surrounding the Atlantic
provinces a holothurian, pentacta From
dosa, Jaeger, very similar 10 the trepang
Of the Malay and Chinese coasts, is found
In great abundance. IL is called by our
fishermen the ''sea cucumber OF sea
pumpkin" A few experiments have
been made on IL as an article Of food,
and II has been pronounced good, with
the flavor OF lobster meat. Trepang, in
tho east, Is prepared by dipping the live
''sea cucumber" for two minutes in
boiling water, then cutting open. then
throwing into q second caidron of boil.
ing water and mimosa lark. Its finally
dried in the sun and pressed for stowage.
The market value has been quoted nt
from five to fix dollars per hundred
pounds, and the fisheries are consid-
cred Of industrial importance. viii
not some Of our ingenious fishermen or
fish dealers make a thorough test Of our
own ''sea cucumber" and settle the
question whether there Is to be any Cana

The Yellow Fever Racillns.

DIR. ii. c. Bernays was asked what he
knew about the yellow fever bacillus.
Nothing, and | do not believe any
one does. DIR. Domingo Frere, Of Rio
Janeiro, claims to have identified il, and
his utterancesa and writings created a pro.
found sensation, but ~sanitarians and ply
sicians do not accept his conclusion. Two
American physicians, one an unknown
in Nebraska, have claimed TO have made
the same discovery. Personally, do not
believe that the micrococci in this disease
have been identified at all. DIR. Brewer,
of this city, a profound student and ex-
perimenter in this branch ot medical
science, | understand, repudiates the
Brazilian theory.
"As TO the destruction Of microbes, IL
is my opinion that any forces, such as
gases or heat, that will destroy the germs
will also destroy all vegetable and animal
life coming within their influence. The
medical profession knows q great deal
about disease germs. Tho bacillus Of
consumption has been discovered, identi-
fed and photographed, yet the forces
necessary 10 the determination Of the
germs will surely kill the patient. Pri-
vately, | think that the man who got up
this scheme Of bombardiDg the microbes,
is q student Of human nature who, by
this means of a supposed struggle with
the disease, seeks 20 divert the minds Of
the people from the peril which surrounds
theu.s The caynonading can do no harm,
andif il makts some people believe that
IL Is doing good, why SO much is gained"

Very Dry at Macon.

MACON, Mo-, Jan. 6 6.-Every sa-
loon license IN Macon County has
expired, and topers are woefully
troubled over the difficulty they
will hereafter experience in getting
their dram. No plan has yet been
formulated for an evasion of the
law.
There is talk of the establish
ment of a club room, where the
liquor is to be owned in common
and paid for by monthly dues, but
nothing definite has yet been done
in that direction.
One of the saloon-keepers has an
nounced himself a candidate for
city marshal. The election takes
place January 10. 1t is said. that
he promises, if given the Office, to
give special attention to the local
option law and see that it is en-
forced most strictly.
Macon has formerly had ive sa-
looms, and many business men fear
that their closing will decrease the
business of the town.

The vote in tle different eoun-
ties may be summed up as follows:
THE CONDITION..

President Cleveland tersely said
in his Message: cit is a condi-
tion which confronts us--not a
theory"
What this condition is appears in
the Treasury statement for Decem-
Der, showing the collection of sur
plus revenue of $15, 423 ,6O3 during
the month.
This is a condition which cannot
last without serious danger to the
business of the country. That it
should have existed SO long is a re-
proach to our craftsmanship.
The collection of half a million
dollars a day beyond the needs of
the Government is an injustice
that would not be tolerated in any
other civilized country in the
world.
The first and the most important
