coNTAeIous CONSUMPTION.
Fate of California Family-Talxen from
an Alling Cows MILK.

Fate Of California Family-Taken from
an Alling Cows MILK.
The need to go to the fountain head of the
milk supply, and be rigidly exacting there, is
plainly evident in face of the one fact alone
and there are many others of like character
that consumption may be contracted by
those who use the milk Of COWS suffering
from a disease of a similar nature OF course
there is no means of knowing what proper
ton Of consumptives received the germs Of
the disease in that way, but it is reasonable
to suppose that it is by no means small
Not very long ago there came from Cali
fornia reports that several members Of one
family had died in succession from consump-
ton, undoubtedly first contracted from using
milk from cows which were noticed to be all
ing, growing poor in spite of the best care,
and coughing, and eventually three or four
of herd of twenty died. These cases are Of
special interest, showing, as they do, with
reasonable certainty not only the danger Of
infection from animals, but also the commu-
nicability of the malady from a diseased to
sound persons. The first one that showed
signs of decline was Il daughter Of IS very
fond Of milk. She steadily failed, and, after
eight months, went to live with a married
sister, with whom she remained for two
months, then returned home to die one month
later. This married sister was soon taken,
and held precisely like her. She steadily
failed, and died in eight months. Her health
previous to her sisters visit was most vigor-
Gus. Then a brother, who had taken much
care of his youngest sister, was taken sick
with the same sy mptoms, and lived only six
months.
In less than three months after his death
the only remaining sister contracted the fatal
disease, and so rapid and virulent was the
attack that only four months interviewed be-
tween a condition of apparently vigorous
health and her death They all had excellent
care, fresh air, abundant and easily assimi
lated food, etc About four months after the
death of the last sister the only remaining
brother, who had nuTsed his last sister, was
attacked with symptoms similar to the Others
and was candidly informed by his physician
that he was in the same condition and fated
to go the same way that they had gone.
Shortly after his attack he had read an ac-
count of Kochs discovery of the bacillus
tuberculosis, and had accepted the germ the
DRY as the one best fitted to explain the cases
in his own family And, disheartened by the
failure of their treatment, he determined TO
fight his own battle on the germicide plan.
He confined himself to a room for week,
inhaling creOsote in such strength
that he shed off the mucous membrane from
the mouth and throat, and his lungs felt raw
and sore in breathing. But after that week
the cough ceased, the expectoration stopped,
his appetite increased, he gained strength,
flesh, weight, and was, in his own Judgment,

Primitive man-our carly ancestors-lived
almost exclusively by hunting and fishing,
and the passion for this sport was inherited
from them. What is at first necessity at
length becomes a pleasure. The man who
goes into business in order to maintain him
self and family continues it after he is beyond
the reach of want because habit has made it
a pleasure TO him. He will even deny himself
needed rest and recreation because he is not
contented when away from his business The
wild beast I'M menagerie, although born in
captivity, will pace restlessly up and down
its cage, initiating the actions of its ancestors
while running the plains in search Of its prey.
Although food is supplied in abundance, it
continues to walk rapidly and look cautiously
about as did its great-grandparents when inn
PEELED by hunger to prowl about the Jungle
in search of food
The hog, no matter how well fed, continues
to root as though life depended upon it, as
was the case with its untamed ancestors.
The beaver, when in captivity, viii pursue
its passion for building, and so on throughout
the whole animal kingdom When a man
first seeks information from books it is a task,
but when often repeated it becomes a pleas
ure, and he finally gets to be book worm,
content only when delving for knowledge.
With this start you can think up an indef-
mite number of illustrations for, yourself
But it is this law Of habit-of inherited pro
pensities-that makes it pleasure for men
to pursue the occupations Of their primitive
ancestors-to hunt and fish when not inn
PEELED to do so from necessity, and when the
Inevitable result is great fatigue and no
profit. -Punxsutawney Spirit

Running in on any last trip last night
found a nicely dressed young chap on the

it was used TO fasten paper. OF course, the

We doubt whether the mania for opiates,
once thoroughly established, has over been
eradicated.
That fair Parisians should have moments
Of WEAKNESS, languor and depression is nat
ural enough. They, above all people, can
understand tho saying Of Sir George Corne-
wall Lewis, that life would be very tolerable
if it were not for its anusements. They ever
seek pleasure, and therefore constantly miss
it, Parisians of both sexes seek now sensa-
tons every day in every form Of vice, some
times even in fashionable virtues Yet
through their light literature, as through
their lives, runs a wearisope monotony Of
sin-a perpetual round Of the same kind Of
Shiny jests on the same kind Of dishonor and
infdelity. That a man or a woman should
be faithful to a promise, vow or an oath
would break the charm Of French life. There
are in their dramas and stories two charac-
tiers that recur always in the same relation
the person who violates a duty or breaks
pledge and the avenger on his or her track.
This central situation is the kernel Of every
Partisan fiction and every Partisan play. So
ciety is made up Of persons engaged in con-
cealing such faults committed by themselves,
or detecting them when committed by others
When this has gone on for generations it be-
comes rather monotonous, and Paris plunges
for change in any direction. -Paris Letter.

A story of a Maine judges love for fishing
and shrewdness in gratifying it is told by
The Wilton Record. He was on the bench
when word came that the trout were biting
at Weld pond and he had a case on the
docket for trial 1t was a divorce case be-
tween an aged couple who had lived together
for forty years and now wanted to be re-
leased from the bonds Of matrimony. There
were many witnesses, and the judge foresaw
that if the case came to trial it would be four
or five days before he could get away, so he
sent for the old couple and talked the matter
over He gave them good advice, and they
finally agreed to try once more to live to-
gether in harmony, and went away happy.
The next morning the judge started for Weld
and he landed a twelve pound salmon. If
our judges did less divorcing and more fish
ing perhaps society would be quite as well
off.-Lewiston Journal.

A Ring rhirty-nve hundred Years old.


The Smithsonian institution has received
"A gift of great antiquity from the Chinese
minister It is a Jade" ring, about ten
inches in diameter and one-eighth of an inch
in thickness, with a hollow center about four
inches in diameter. 1t is of pale hue.
The ring is known as the "Ian Pebn Jewel
of the dynasty of Han, an old time monarch
of $500 years ago Court officials of that
day, when an audience was accorded them
by the emperor, held the ring with both
hands and thrust their fingers into the open

while addressing the throne, the emphasizing
of their remarks by fourishes Of the hands
presumably being contrary to official ETH

submission or respect for a sovereign. 1t was

Sweden has 5000 miles of railway, grouped
in three categories of 1900 miles each. On
the first speed of thirty miles an hour Is
allowed, the cost Of the line being $4,000 a
mile, the rails weighing sixty-four pounds a
yard. On the second the speed is confined TO
twenty miles an hour, the construction Of
the line being lighter, so that its cost has
only been $4,000 mile, while the road is
laid with fifty-pound rails. The third de
scription Of railway is exceedingly light,
although Of standard gauge; trains are run
on it at,twelve miles an hour, the rails being
of thirty-ive pounds weight, and the total
cost only 600 a mile.
Although Sweden is three times as large as
England while its population is not larger
than that Of LorS9n, yet so economically are
the railways worked that they realize per
cent. on the outlay upon them. The design
ers Of them have gone on the principle that
the cost Of line is dependent upon the speed
to be run upon it, and that with moderate
speed q very light line is perfectly safe,
Proof Of the opposite fact, namely, that
heavy, fast traffic cannot be run with safety
over light rails, is found in the much smaller
number of accidents in England than on the

that there was imported during the year
