Tuberculosis.

Three st. Louis physicians have given
paper on tuberculosis.
The disease known as tuberculosis, they
say, and when affecting the lungs as pulmo-
nary tuberculosis consumption, is very COM
mon in the human being and in certain OF the
domestic animals, especially cattle. About
one-fourth of all deaths occurring in the hui
man being during adult life are caused by it,
and nearly one-half of the entire population
at some time in life acquire it. The disease
is the same in nature in animals and in man
and has the same cause. 1t has been proved
beyond doubt that living germ, called the
tubercle bacillus, is the cause and the only
cause of tuberculosis. It does not seem nee.
essary to state the facts upon which this as
sertion is based, for the observation first
made by Robert Koch in 1882 has been con.
firmed so often and so completely that it now
constitutes one of the most absolutely demon
strated facts in medicine. tuberculosis may
affect any organ of the body, but most fire.
quently first involves the lungs. When the
living germs find their way into the body they
multiply there if favorable conditions fol-
their growth exist, and produce small new
growths or nodules Ctuberclesl, which tend tc
soften The discharges from these softeneG
thrown off from the body. In pulmonary
tuberculosis these discharges constitute, IL
part, the expectoratiOn The germs thus
thrown of do not grow outside the living
human or animal body, except under arti
fetal conditions, although they may retair
their vitality and virulence for long periods
of time, even when thoroughly dried. As
tuberculosis can only result from the actor
of these germs, it follows from what
has just been said that when the disease
is acquired it must result from receiving
into the body the living germs that
have come from some other human being OF
animal affected with the disease. 1t has been
abundantly established that the disease may
be transmitted by meat or milk from the
tubercular animal The milk glands in mich
cows often become affected with the disease
when their lungs are involved, and the milk
from such animals may contain the living
germs and be capable of producing the disease.
Among stall fed dairy cows 20 per cent. or 81
per cent are sometimes found to be affected
with the disease Tubercular animals are
also frequently killed for food, their flesh
sometimes containing the germs, and if not
thoroughly cooked is capable of transmitting
the disease. Boiling the milk or thoroughly
cooking the meat destroys the germs

Beat at All Points.

A naughty leader of a city choir, on his
way to church, met an Irreverent Ass, who was
practicing the fish scales as he made his way
toward the thistly lanes of the country side.
"Peace!" exclaimed the Musician; save
your strength for your weekly burdens, and
do not attempt to invade the sacred province
of music" Hence with your puny pitch
pipe" said the ASS, lest / climb into the
gallery and kick your whole choir over the
rail" Heaven assoilzie thee an ever thou
tryest it," returned the leader; thou talk
about kicking. Come in some Sunday and

Beating the Circus.

Whether what would be stealing under
some circumstances becomes only a smart
piece of work under others, is the question
that arises in reading the accounts of some
recent transactions. One of these, which
may serve as all example of all, is thus re-
ported: A boy while attending a circus was
struck by stone flung from the ring by a
horses hoof and got black eye but no seri-
Gus hurt With the aid of a lawyer the
property of the company was attached and q
warrant got out for the arrest of the mana
ger unless he paid a good sum for damages.
Being unable to stop TO contest the suit, a
fact that was probably considered when the
demand was made, the circus proprietor
compromised by paying about $500, which the
boy and his lawyer divided Whether their
feelings were similar to those of the sharpers
len dividing the spoils filched from some
innocent stranger is not recorded. 1t is true
that many times the fakirs who follow the
circuses get even with the public, but it sell
dom or never happens that they get back the
money eXtOrted from the show, and often
these outside sharpers have no connection
with the regular company, which is in no
wise responsible for them. And besides, two
wrongs do not make right. Jour.

Thought He Would Wait.

A well known Scotch bishop never married.
While he held curtain see be was of course a
subject of considerable intel est to the celibate
ladies of the neighborhood. One day he re-
ceived a visit from one of them who had
reached the age of desperation Her manner
was solemn, yet somewhat embarrassed, it
was evident from the first that there was
something very particular upon her mind.
The good bishop spoke with his usual kind
ness, and encouraged her to be communica-
tive By and by he drew from her that she
had very strange dream, or, rather, as she
thought, q revelation from heaven On fur
Their questioning she confessed that it had
been intiInated to her that she was to be
united i'll marriage to the bishop One may
imagine what a start this gave to the quiet
scholar, who had long before married his
books and never thought of any other bride.
He recovered, however, and, addressing her
very gently, said that doubtless these intima-
tons were not to be despised. AS yet, how
ever, the designs of heaven were but imper-
fectly explained, as they had been revealed
to only one of the parties. He would wait to
see if any similar communication should be
made to himself, and when it happened he
would be sure to let her know.-BoSton Tray

The Effect of RUNNING

Running makes person warm because Of
the inhalation of an increased amount of air,
causing the blood to pass more rapidly through
the lungs The rapid inhalation of air in
wolves the introduction of greater quantity
of air into the body, which renders the COM
bustion of the blood more rapid, and the
blood itself more heated. The quantity of air
breathed while running at the rate of six
miles an hour is six times that breathed while
walking at the rate of one mile an hour The
superhuous heat arising from the exertion of
running is disposed of through the skin by
means of increased perspiration. Nav York

UndersoId the Owner,

Your reference to the bantering style OF
doing business calls up many funny reminis-
cences, said an old merchant. II must tell
you of one occurrence that took place In o
neighboring country store. The proprietor
was noted for being particularly affable and
obliging to his customers, and he had a clear
headed and smart young man for clerk. One
day one OF the best customers of the concern
called to buy dress pattern. The price was
seventy-five cents, and after long talk the
clerk closed the bargain at seventy cents.
While the clerk was selecting trimmings,
ETC., in another part of the store the genial
proprietor came along, rubbing his hands,
inquired after the family of the customer,
praised her taste in selecting that particular
piece of goods, and as a special favor to q
good customer let her have it for sixty-eight
cents per yard. The clerk returned and the
lady told of the reduction the proprietor had
made. The clerk was furious, but not in the
least disconnected. Fe saw that if the Gus
toners thought that he was selling higher
than others in the store they would avoid him
and his discharge would follow. So he says:
az just looked at the bill and can sell you
that piece at sixty-five cents yard
when the deal was completed the pro-
prietor was as angry as the clerk
"'Do you know that | made the price
sixty-eight centsP said the proprietor.
Yes said the clerk, but want you to
understand that no man can undersell me In
this store

SchemIag EsSuimaux.

Ocean Captain in the Globe-Democratl
 I have had great deal of experience in whaling in the northern seas, and as result I never credit any stories ss to what the Es- quimaux or natives have seen. They can see anything that anybody wants them to see, and will do so for 8 small quantity of bread or provisions. They are frequently employed on whaling vessels, being picked up at the beginning of the season and dropped when the vessels are returning, or, if the weather is too severe, carried on to San Francisco and returned at the beginning of the next season. In this way many of them have learned to speak English, but in twenty-two seasons experience in whaling have never found it to do them any good. One instance as to their reliability will be sufficient. I had one of four vessels caught in the ice, and had to work my way one hundred and thirty miles through it. Mine
 was the only boat that got through, though took the crew off of one of the others, and
 the crew of another found their way to safe
 ty and were picked up. The fourth boat, however, has never been heard of, nor has any of her crew. The next season we took large amount of provisions, and were on the lookout for any of the crew or the boat. We were boarded by an intelligent native, who told us of three ships off point and away into the ice. There were men on two of them, while the other was uninhabited. The story was told in remarkably straight manner and impressed us with it's truth. One of our ships, steamer, was loaded up and sent. off on the perilous trip, while the native was sent away rejoicing with heavy
 load or bread provisions. The story, though, was found to be myth. The na- 1 tive had been carried to San Francisco, had there heard of the loss of the ships and had made his story to fit, even to the point of ! having one of the ships abandoned, as we had taken her crew of.

The EzarEnoRY of HH me.

A home of dfscord may be visited by ac-
 ausintauees, bat it's doors are never to be
 knocked on by friends. Sensible people will
 give it wide berth, and prefer friendship
 and intimacy with those who live at peace.
 Nobody finds g wise young man oourting
 girl in family who get on i'll among theRa-
 selves He wants bird out of good nest,
 and has no wish to be drawn ln by marriage
 to take one side CT other of lifelong freside
 feud It is hard on girl, you say. Some-
 times. But about the young mans ssgacity
 there can be no questions whatever. IT all
 hofnes were happy what pleasant world 1t
 would be, and there is no reason why happl-
 ness should not reign everywhere If people
 would only make wisdom, and not stupidity, the guide of their lives.
 What strikes one as an odd thing is that many are able to exercise patience and com- mon seuse abroad, but find it next to an im- possible task at home. With them every thing is done for the benefit of society st large at the expense of their own circle. In other peoples houses they have face like . beuedictiop, whilst in their own it is dishgur- cd with from. Of all follies this is one of | the greatest. As if it were not their interest, let alone their duty, to do exactly the reverse. | If any one had 8 mind to be cross, snappish and disagreeable, let her ohoose a field for giving vent to her ill humor, as far removed from home possible. Our best side should be turned not to strangers, but to those with whom we dmeIl, and, while it is right to wish 1 for the good opinion of every body, we should | be anxious most of all about the favorable impression we make on our own folks at home.
 If there is to be any household harmony | an important point is to cultivate @ sweet temper We cannot do without that. Some tempers are like violin string out of tune: with them who can expect either melody or | harmony from the family orchestral This is specially young womans subject; indeed, if our girls sre not amisble nobody else can be expected to be.

 which should shut of the sight jectionable wall, and which proved in effective remedy.
 remember another instance in which the walls of the room were covered with pat tern of a ''feur-de-lis," the shading of which, by some curious twistings, caused each flower to resemble deaths head. The patient in the night detected this singular extravaganza of art, half asleep and half awake, fancied himself in sort of crypt of skulls, which caused him sleeplessness that lasted until the morning and led to bad day. The walls of siek-room should be quite plain, and of gray or ight-green color, but there is no objection to cheerful pictures if they are now and then changed in position, and are pleasant to the mind ot the invalid without becoming wearisome. Flowers in the sick-room are always good so long as they are bright and fresh. but they should be frequently changed, and it is sound prac- tice to remove them during the night. Flowers which have sickly odor, lilies, for example, should be excluded, however charming they may be to the eye. As rule living flowers are better than dead. Dried leaves, like pot pourri, are bad for the sick room; they gather dust and the stale odor they emit impairs the purity of the air.
