SOME PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Concerning the Prevention and 'eatmens
OF Cholera-ImPrudenOe

of ChoIera-ImPrudenOes
lScientidc Americana
Frank II. Mason, United States con.
sui at MacseilleS, France, has forwarded
20 the department Of state, Washington,
some practical information concerning
the prevention and treatment OF cholera.
His conclusions are derived from the
studies OF the epidemic of 1854 and pre-
ceding years in that city. He says that
in its choice of victims cholera is most
precise and definite. With rare excep-
tions the victims belong to one of the
following classes: Those who live I'M
der bad hygienic conditions in respect
TO eating and drinking and exposure;
those weakened and debilitated by al
coholic excess; and those who suffer
from chronic digestive weakness or de-
rangement.
Among the imprudences which be-
come dangerous in the presence of chol-
era are oVereatipg to the extent of pro-
ducing lethargy or indigestion, drink
ing any LIQUID so as TO check the process
of digestion, eating raw vegetables in
the form of salads, aud, in general, the
use of raw fruits, unless perfectly fresh
and ripe. Drinking cold water, or beer,
after having eaten raw fruit Is direct
challenge 20 cholera, which 40 person,
however strong and healthy, can afford
to risk. The susceptibility of drank
ards to choleraio Influences is proved
by abundant evidences, among which
NAV be cited the sweeping fatality Of
the disease where er it attacked IN
mates of inebriate asylCms. Anything,
| in fact, whether OF a temporary OF
/ chronic nature, which impairs tie vIgor
| Of the digestive organs, exposes per-
sons thus weakened to chole ;aic at
J taCks.
/ Dir. Mason gives as the most effective
( destroyer OF cholera germs IN excretlonS
! the following solutions: Solution of sui
phate of copper in the proportion of not
less than : ounces 70 quart Of water;
liquid chloride of zinc, Il ounces to
quart of water, bichloride of mercury,
IS ounce 10 l quart Ct water; bichlo-
ride of cop1ev, 2 ounces to quart OF
water; sulphuric acid. 4 ounces to a
quart of water The same chemicals
are used for disinfection of water
closets, sinks, and all other seats OF de-
cay or infection.
FOR washing streets and drains,
sulphate of iron, 10 pounds IN 22O
gallons OF water, or liquid chloride OF
ENC, 20 pounds in go gallons, naS
been found most effective and practic-
able. Picnic acid, in the pro
portion of 10 pounds to 22O gallons
OF water, was largely uSeu at 1hhHSeilL0s
last year, but the results were less salts
factory than expected, some experts
even going so far as to affirm that the
picnic principle preserved rather than
destroyed the germs of the contagion.
He says that in the face of a cholera
epidemic arrh is a serius illness,
and should be treated accordingly lie
also says that, as a popular remedy for
immediate use, nothing has been found
superior to chlorodyne, sold by most
druggists.

COAL STRUCK AT A DEPTH OF
$50 FEET.
The Strata Is II Feet Thick And Of
Superior Quality.

The report that coal was struck in
Mr.. Letterman's well created quite 4
ripple of excitement yesterday. At first
it was thought to be a canard, but on
investigation it was found that the drill
had passed through strata of coal from
10 to II feet thick. The boring is on
the top of hill, and the coal was struck
at depth of about $50 feet from the
surface. That which was brought up by
the sand-pump proves it to be Of a
superior quality, it having been tested
in fire. Undoubtedly this is the vein,
the outcropping Of which can be seen
in the cut near the depot, and which
was struck in several wells in town in
veins varying in thickness, but not
sufficient to create more than belief that
coal existed in this vicinity. Several
old coal miners have predicted that coal
would be found in the hills surrounding
Pullman, and this discovery has proven
the correctness of their prophecy. Ow-
ing to the depth it may be some time
before it is developed, but that coal is
here in paying quantities there is now
no doubt.

Pullman. July 30. 1875

Pullman, July 80, 1889,
Editor HERALD:
desire to call the attention OF the
ladies of Pullman to the fact that before
they ask the right to vote they should
learn to do their duty. At heart the
ladies of Pullman may be equal to any in
the country, but stranger might be here
for a year before they would know
whether their next door neighbor was
endowed with that trait in human nature
which demands association with fellow
beings. In other words, the ladies are
grossly negligent in their duty to
strangers. In the last six months at
least dozen ladies have come to Pull
man, and I venture to say that there
is not one of them but what has felt that
neglect. What will disgust a lady with
a town more than the sense of loneliness,
of the lack of sociability with which she
has been accustomed? When a stranger
comes to town visit her just as soon as
she is settled, and when the visit is made
don't act as though you had come to
perform some disagreeable duty, but as
FRIEND and by your acts prove that
you are friend, Have social gatherings
as often as possible; lay aside all reserve
and the result will be gratifyingto all
and will be the means of preventing
many sad tears, shed in silence on ac-
count of the exile from society. L will
add that this does not apply to all the
ladies Of Pullman, but it applies to en-
ough to make it necessary to call at
tention to it.
Yours truly,
NEWCOMER

A SMALL FIRE.-Quite an excite
ment was created last Sunday afternoon
by fire in Mrs. Buchanan's house on
Grand street. The fire was fortunately
discovered in time to prevent any serious
damage. 1t started between the joists
and burned quite hole in the floor of
the upper room and the ceiling Of the
lower room. How it originated is a
mystery, as no fire had been in the room,
or near where it started for three months.
On investigation it was found that there
had been lot of rags, paper, etc, car
ried in by mice, among which there may
have been matches which were either
ignited by the heat or the mice.

SHADE TREEs.-Large trees in the
near neighborhood of house may dam
age the foundations of frail building
by the development of their lateral roots;
but from a hygienic point of view their
benefit, on the whole, outweighs all OBJ
jections. They mitigate the glare OF the
summer sun by a screen which opens
just when sunshine is most needed, and
for prospect purposes it is easy enough
to cut out vistas in front of balconies or
sitting room windows. Moreover, leaf
trees exhale oxygen and absorb a variety
of noxious gases. ga fine tree park, :"

TEACHERS INSTITUTE Whitman
county teachers institute viii be held
at Colfax, August 9Th to 14th. A record
of attendance will be kept, and each
teachers per cent. Of attendance will be
recorded on the next certificate issued
to him. This record, however, will not
enter into the general average. Super
intendent Bean makes the following
suggestions to teachers:
Make special preparation on all topics
outlined.
Come on Monday, August 5, and thus
be credited with attendance for full term.
Bring all the text and reference books
you have. If you have no dictionary of
your own, try to borrow one.
Come for hard work.
prepare a substantial note book in
which to record whatever you think will
be of use to you in your work.
Study hard from now till August 4.
Your mind will be more active, and you
will feel more keenly your need of help.
Read up on the lives of eminent edu-
Gators and thus be prepared to take part
in the opening exercises each morning.
POINTER FOR ADvERTIsERs.-H Of
ten one hears the remark, "oh! the peo-
pie never read advertisements" and yet
what mistake. To illustrate: In max
ing up the Record forms short time
since an old market report was brought
into use, and as there was no time to
make corrections it was thrown down
into one corner Of the paper where it
would "never be read" but to oul
establishment everybody in the country
seemed to have read that old report the
first thing, and we have been kept pref
ty busy most of the time since explain
ing to each reader who called in how ii
happened The people read everything
that effects their interests, and if you
don't believe it, advertise something at
an actual sacrifice. A good advertise
ment always gives man and his bust
ness prominence and standing in the es-
timation of the public, and is the means
of bringing him many sale he is not
aware of.-Spangle Record.
THE MARRIAGE LICENSE DID IT.-He
lives in Ionia county, Michigan, and
like many another young man concluded
to try a life Of double bliss. Accordingly
he hied himself away to his Mary Jane
and from Mary Jane to the county clerk
from whom he procured the necessary
license. Adolphus and Mary now i'm
mediately "set up" in housekeeping,
but after several days the public, who
had been watching proceedings, made
threats, both long and loud, of coat OF
tar and feathers for Adol plus At this
juncture, however, kind friend called
upon Mary J. and told her that it was
rumored that she and Adolphus were
not married, and Mary, as proof, brought
forth the marriage license. It was then
explained to them that the license was
only preliminary, and to relieve any
further misunderstanding a minister was
called in and Adolphus and Mary are
now legally lined"
