One Cause of Infection,
'is.sburg Medical Review.

Pittsburg Medical Review
The American street-car or the
ticket-window of a railroad station
frequently offers this unpleasant spec
tacle. A well.dressed and, to all out
ward appearances. a we'll bred woman
opens her pocketbook, picks out a
piece OF money and deliberately puts
1T into her mouth and holds it there
while she closes her purse, readjusts
her gloves and arranges her many
packages. II some modern Smollet
would lay before her eyes ''The Ad-
ventures OF DIme;" if she could even
dimly conceive to the unutterable
foulness through which the coin she
holds between her dainty lips has
probably passed, a loathing horror
would overwhelm her. But in blissful
Inconsistencies she caresses that
which is the embodiment of all filth
ness. Aside from the view OF cleanli-
ness is the question of contagion.
That this nasty habit is often re-
sponsible for the spread of infectious
diseases cannot be doubted.

A Travelling ouack.s Trick.

played a difficult and essential role.

multitude on crutches. and was sing

she replied; more than a hundred
doctors have failed, and l guess I'll

She permitted herselfto be persuaded,
however, and at length was seated in

that he was applying his miraculous

ALouislara Bear.

From. the IbervilIs South
There are 8 good many bear stories
going the rounds nowadays. but We
have one which actually occurred in
this parish during the present week.
On a small plantation q mile or two
above Bayou Goula black bear was
seen to enter turnip patch and st
once proceed TO help himself TO as
many turnips as HE appetite de-
maDded. 1t Is said that colored
man witnessed the unGsthorizedl evity
of Mr.. Bruin and determined that he
would enter the place and drive the
invader out Acting upon the impulse,
he Immediately entered the enclosure
and started in bruins direction. As
soon as the mans presence became
known to the bear hediscontinued his
vegetable rerast. with the evident in
tention of embeliishing 1t with meat.
and, with ears thrown back and head
erect, be started toward the son OF
Ham with the apparent intention OF
testing the qualities of his makeup.
The darby saw him coming, and at
once decided that he did not wish to
drive his bearship from the field. and
rather thar attempt it he would
leave the field himself So he
graciously turned his face in
the opposite direction. and made
for the railroad. The bear
appeared to be socially inclined
and willingly followed his visitor.
aceelerating his speed as he travelled.

his pace. And thus the had it for
some time straight up the railroad;
run bear, run man, and the devil
take the hindmost. Suddenly the
eolored man heard a rumbling
noise down the track. and knew
at once that the night express train
was coming. In a short time it hove
In sight, running at the rate of thirty.
i've miles an hour.
When the train came in sight the
colored man jumped from the track
and continued his wild flight on the
side of it. The bear also heard the
noise, and looking around saw the
iron horse, with its red lights and its
terrible wheeling and putting, rushing
madly upon him. He seemed TO lose
all thought of the man, and turned
his attention to the new foe which
threatened him. Rearing defantly
upon his launches, with his fore feet
extended. he snarlingly awaited the
oncoming train. He hadn't long to
wait, and the ponderous engine, with
its long and heavy landen train.
struck old bruin amidships. and in
iiffy sent him to the happy hunting
grounds to join the members OF his
family which had preceded him there.
He was skinned on the spot-by piece
meal, we suppose-and the colored
man who had been racing with him
enjoyed a slice OF hapless bruin for
supper.

Natural History i'm India.

Here are some extracts from pa
per recently read before the Bombay
Natural History society: The ghost
OF a man killed by tiger rides on the
beasts head TO warn him OF danger,
and to point the way OF fresh victims.
Eating tigers flesh gives one courage,
but unless the wbiskers are first sing
ed of the tigers spirit will haunt you.
and, what is worse, you run the risk
OF being turned into tiger in the
next world. ''God allows the tiger
lrupee dag for his food, so that if
a tiger kills bullock worth 5 rupees
he will not kill again for five days"
Just as comical is report, which the
native police made after carefully in
vestieaEing the case OF an unlucky
vilIager killed by a tiger. For perfect
artlessness it cannot be matched.
"Pandu,p says the report, died of
the tiger eating him. There was no
other cause oil death. Nothing was
left of Pandu save some fingers, which
probably belong either to the right or
the left hand New York Sun.

rtIE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE ON

CRITICIZED BY EDMUNDs.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The presi-
dents message on our treaty relations
with Canada was read in the senate, and
Mr.. Edmunds at once took the floor on
motion to refer 1t, and criticized the
president for this todd business and
for employing means Of redress for
wrongs he complained of, furnished
by the r%etaliatory law of March, 1887.
He had allowed eighteen months to pass,
with the statute providing for self-de-
Tense approved by himself and passed
by substantially unanimous vote of
both houses of congress. If nothing had
happened, II there had been 40 in.
stance of injustice. then the president
was right in doing nothing, but he states
there have been instances of denial of
justice to American fishermen, and now
only comes to congress and asks enlarge
ment of powers already broad and large
enough. Ii was, Mr.. Edmunds thought, an
infinite pity that with adequate statutory
powers the president should allow it to
remain unexecuted and in a state Of In
u desuetude for eighteen months
or more.

AFTER GERMAN CASTLES.
A Kansan's Claim on the Old Branden

A Kansan's Claim on the Old Brandon
burg Estate In Germany.
WICHITA, Kas., Aug. 24-Quite an ex-
element was created here over the an
nouncement that one of Wichita's prom
inent citizens-Col. j. r. Taylor-had
been notified that he was one of a half
dozen heirs to, an estate valued at 49,.
900, 000. The B~randenburg estate, To-
Gated near Berlin, Germany, was confis-
Gated from Solomon Brandenburg, the
great-grandfather of Col. Taylor on his
mothers side, about the year 100, by
the government. Kaiser Wilhelm re-
stored it to the heirs, whoever they
might be, in 1860. Col. Taylor has
traced the genealogy of his family back
to Solomon B~randenburG without a
break, and finds that there are only
about six heirs to the estate. They are
in Illinois, Kentucky, Wisconsin and
Michigan. The first one to come to
America was Matthias Brandenburg, who
settled In Virginia and afterwards moved
TO Kentucky, where he died in 1907.
The case was worked up through Minis
ter Pendleteh in Berlin. Col. Taylor
has been advised by the minister to come
to Berlin at once, as he is certein his
claim is valid and can be established
without any trouble. Col. Taylor is a
well known railroad contractor.
