DIR. Kunze also proved that the degree

experiments that even the greatest all

indurations and vomica-are mainly
produced by the inhaled dust, and that
tuberculosis is only an occasional COIN

In the lungs resulted from the inhala-

the most serious, from the dust inhaled
by earthen-ware manufacturers and

smith showed only moderate hyper

lungs were found full OF small granules,

The Heroic Deed Of Courageous and
Humane Young Miller.
In February, about the year 1848.
there was great ice freshet in the
Schuylkill river at Conshohocken, and
it was extremely dangerous for boats
to venture on the river. At that time
there was store kept by Davis
Mccain. Four men slept in it, in
Guiding Mccain himself. While they
were all sleeping the water rose and
washed away the store along with the
occupants. The men finally managed
to get out Of the building. and chung to
an old canal boat which had lodged in
the trees, and there they staid for
hours in the intense cold. calling for
help, but although many persons stood
on the bank, all were afraid to venture
out to save the men.
Benjamin Harry, who owned small
grist mill where the Albion Print
Works now stand, came upon hescene,
and as the other persons stood with
blanched faces. took small row-boat
and in the darkness of the night and

to guide him but the cries of the men.
made four trips without any aid and
brought in the men one at q time. Mr..
Harry said that the ice dashed against
the sides of his boat and threatened to
break it to pieces at any moment Tho
men were helpless, as they we're nearly
frozen through. They all finally re-
covered, but some Of their fingers and
toes were a.nputated. Davis McCann
died a few years since from gangrene
in his feet, brought on by the expert
ences of this terrible night. The hero,
Mr.. Benjamin Harry, died about ono
and half years ago.

The orchardist who raises fruit ex-
ensively for market can afford to build
apartments suited to his needs, but the
average farmer. who only seeks to have
liberal supply for family use. must
depend upon cellar or garnet for stor-
age. The proper conditions for retard-
ing decay are: an even. cool temporal
ture "a few degrees above freezing
point), and then abstain from handling
the fruit. Moisture in connection with
heat always hastens decomposition. but
= moderate amount of the former in
conjunction with a low temperature
preserves the fruit plump and juicy,
and perhaps retains the flavor. When
the crop is spread out thinly OF Slated
shelves, one may notice the premon-
tory symptoms at once, and remove all
such without delay. Handling the sound
specimens 10 thus avoided. and a. one
rotten apple will soon convey the cor
rupting influence to its neighbors, the
supply Of good fruit can be retained

Wrapping each specimen Of valuable
varieties in soft paper unquestionably
tends to preserve them and retain the
beautiful tints. but it prevents one
from examination Of their condition a.
