The Advance of Cholera.

The news which we announced last week as to tho continuance of cholera in Mesopo- tamia has again raised the question whether Europe stands in danger of another invasion of tho disease. Cholera in Bussorah, and even in Bagdad, does not necessarily involve such danger, and although the disease has now for many months past prevailed in both those places and in the intermediate country, its incidence has apparently been all but limited to Mesopotamia and to the western portion of the Persian empire. The only really disquieting occurrence is the in- telligence that it has made some headway along the Turkish trade routes to Europe routes which would in the main convey the disease in 8 northwesterly and northerly die rection toward the ports on the southern coast of the Baltic. Should the port towns become infected, it is certain that no Russian or Turkish means of prevention such as have been adopted on former occasions would be likely to stay the diffusion of the cholera poison if the local circumstances favored its epidemicity. But cholera in Mesopotamia, while it may usually incite us to the removal of those influences which tend to propagate that disease, is by no means to be regarded as an actual cause for anxiety. We certain ly are not in 8 position to boast of any as- sured immunity from cholera travelling in . westerly direction from Asia Minor; but we have the satisfaction of knowing that, after years of sanitary progress, and with . stead- fly improving sanitary organization of our port and inland districts, cholera failed to get footing in this country during the Eu- pean epidemic of 18S4-7, and this notwith- standing the fact that we remained all the time in frequent and unhindered communi- cation with Paris during the whole period of the epidemic in that city. Our clear duty is. while maintaining all necessary watchfulness as to the march of cholera on the eastern confines of Europe, to continue that line of sanitary work which we have now main- tained for go many years, and which has already saved more lives in this country than cholera ever destroyed among us.
 Pretty Gertrude Atherton.
 From the New York Letter to the Chicago Herald.
 Mrs. Gertrude Atherton, author of "Her- mia suydam," is beautiful and interesting woman, having slendor, graceful form, ,beryl- tinted eyes, with black lashes and brews, and quantities of the most superb hair, the exact tint of honey, which is not bleached all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. Her charming apartment is ikea bit of wood- land, all in green of soft shades, Mrs. Ather- ton being extremely fond of that color. A great lounge piled high with silken cushions looks like . messy bank, and draperies, hang ings, &c.,, carry out the forest idea. In the midst of these woodsy surroundings sat the lady herself in Parisian tea-gown of green china silk, which harmonized we'll with her blond hair and ivory skin. She looks very girlish, though she is the mother of @ little daughter. She is an agreeable and entertaining conversationalist and talks very little of herself or her books.

 Two Georgians' Experience in Gosh-
 From the Calhoun TimesI
 Two citizens of Gordon county recently made up a purse of five hundred dollars among few of their friends and went to New York city for the purpose of investing in what is commonly known as "green goods," or counterfeit money. They had been corresponding with New York parties and all the preliminaries had been arranged. For five hundred dollars in genuine money they were to receive five thousand dollars of the spurious stuff. Arriving in New York, they soon found their bogus friends and pro- ceeded with them to their headquarters. They were led by various and winding ways to Q room, where the sharpers counted out the five thousand dollars to them and took their five hundred dollars. The Gordon county men were highly elated a: their suc- cess, and, pocketiDg the money, started to return to the street, when they were met in the hall by five men dressed as policemen, who arrested them and took them into an- other room, where they were searched and relieved of the five thousand dollars received from the sharpers. They were told of the crime they committed in handling the spuri- ous money and threatened with imprison- ment, but finally accepted the proposition of release upon the terms that they would re- turn home without an investigation.
 They were glad to accept any terms of re- lease and the next train found them speed ing on their way home, where they are now, sadder but wiser men.

At the present era, when physical culture
is part Of the curriculum of our most intel
lectual schools, and is so generally regarded
as a necessary element toward supplying and
maintaining the sound body for the sound
mind, it is worth while TO consider recent
statement of eminent physicians that the
mere exercise of singing is a great help toward
the prevention, cure or alienation Of lung
diseases. In the incipient state of such dis
eases it is even said to be powerful aid to a
cure. 1t is, indeed, somewhat curious that
the medical fraternity have not exploited the
theory of lung exercises by singing more
fully heretofore than they are now doing, for
the action of calisthencs in developing the
chest and of gymnastics in strengthening mus
cular tissue have for years been a universal
practice, although as n matter of fact the
mere physical exercise of singing brings into
play an extraordinary number of muscles
that can hardly be suspected of action in con
nection with the throat expansion,
It was disclosed by statistics in Italy some
years ago that vocal artists were usually long
lived and healthy, and that brass instrument
players, who bring their lungs and chest into
unusual activity, have not had consump-
tive victim among them. No matter how
thin or weak the voice, children or young
song. There can be no happier medicine,
and if hearers sometimes suffer they should
be encouraged and strengthened to bear the
infection in view of the good it may occa-

The little, round, fat man, with the gurg-
ling laugh, answered to roll call yesterday
and said he had a new story It was on a
friend who boards with him. This friend is
not exactly slender, but a composite picture
Of him and the little fat man would look like
lemonade with a straw in it, The other
night his friend the boarder came home at a
rather late hour, and as is his wont, searched
the harder for delicacies. He knew his ground
perfectly, and did not think it necessary to
light the gas. In the pantry he discovered
some delicious chicken patties, and these he
devoured in short order Still his appetite
asserted itself Probing further into the
mysteries Of the larder he found some more of
the patties, and these he deyoured with great
gusto, though he thought at the time that
they did not taste as well as the Others Then
he went to bed and was soon the proprietor
of q snore which sounded like a man tearing
canvas.
In the morning, when the little fat man
came down to breakfast, his wife, who had
preceded him, said: "James, ! cannot imagine
what has become of the sausage balls which
the cook made up last night.n Neither could
James. The boarder slumbered on, and his
aggressive snore bored holes in the atmos-
pierre An idea occurred to the little fat
man. "Maybe Arthur ate the sausage he
said. YOU'D better go up then, and see if
he Is alive said his wife, He was alive, and
when taxed about the sausage he ackuowl-
edged the pork Then the fat man said 81

The great majority of these microscopic
plants are what botanists call bacteria, the
smallest form of vegetable life. So small are
they that it would take, in some cases as
many as fifteen thousand of them arranged
in row TO extend an inch. They have diff
ferent forms, some being round, some oval,
some rod shaped and others much the shape
of a corkscrew, or spiral In all cases they
are so small that one needs powerful micro
scope to study them, and in no case can we
perceive them singly with the naked eye
When countless millions of them are grouped
together in mass or colony we can see them
about as we are able to see at a great distance

We have said that these bacteria move
about, and this is true of most of them, al
though there are some which do not appear
to move at all, but remain fixed where they

And many a knightly courtesy making,

Or animated dandy doll,
And scion of the caterpillar

Nor other fellowship desired,
Till, where group Of panses lay,
In regal elegance attired

Upon their bright and sunny faces;

And dulled and dimmed his gaudy graces
Abashed, eclipsed, benumbed, he gazed
