LOUKJAW BAOILLI.

Tetanus Said to be Caused by the De
velopment Of a Vegetable Germ.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.]
Some interesting points regarding lookjaw
were brought out by DR.. Henry Lehman In
the course of his lecture on the chemical
causation of disease at the Academy of Nat
ural Sciences last evening.
He considered lockjaw or tetanus to be
caused by the development Of an organic
poison in the system. "The tetanus bacilli, I"
he observed, 'are like little rod like vegeta.
BILE forms of great minuteness, looking un-
der the microscope not unlike pieces of
broken up match sticks" This baeilluslad.
heres to various objects, such as a rusty nail
or rake left lying out in the air or other
similax things, and when these pierce the
skin the poison is introduced into the body.
It is incomprehensible to many people that
a puncture from a rusty nail in the foot or a
little cut or scratch in some part Of the body
can cause such terrible suffering and death,
but when the baoilli are taken into the sys.
tenn and get into the warm blood they multi
ply with wonderful rapidity, and are soon
scattered through every part of the system
in great numbers. It is curious fact that
there is somewhat of an analogy between the
action of the tetanus bacillus and that Of
stryohnine upon the system, many of the
symptoms and convulsions of tetanus being
present in case of strychnine poisoning.
DR.. Lehman related fairly we'll authen-
ticated case to prove the germ origin of te-
tanus. During an earthquake which oc-

people who had taken refuge in couple of
churches were injured by the collapse of the

ed from one of the churches were stricken
with tetanus, while those from the other edt-
foe were unaffected. A careful examination
resulted in disclosing the fact that the walls
and interior parts of the former church were
swarming with tetanus germs, while the 9TH
or was free from them. Every person in the
infected church who was wounded by flying
bits of plaster or wood ran the risk of being
stricken with lockjsw.

THE NEW TAMmANY.

The new Tammany is perhaps not as bad
a. the old Tammany with Tweed at it's head,
but 1t may be that the chief reason for what
ever difference there may be is the lack Of
opportunity. The New York Evening Post
has been investigating the records of the
present Tammany leaders and it finds start
ling things. One of the big men in Tam
many is keeper of sailors boarding house
and owner of several saloons; another for
merly ran q liquor saloon in partnership
with the notorious "Red" Leary and his wife
Kate; another on the list is "'saloon keeper,
hotel keeper and professional gambler" and
killed q man some years ago, being acquit.
ted on the ground of emotional insanity,
and confined for a few months in lunatic
asylum; the next two are saloon keepers
the next is liquor dealer and stable
keeper; the next has divided hie
career between rum selling and
politics. The POSTS recapitulation is as fol
lows: Professional politicians 90, convicted
murderer /, tried for murder and acquitted
/, indicted for felonious assault /, indicted
for bribery 1, professional gamblers 4, for
mer gambling house or "dive" keepers s.
liquor dealers 4, former liquor dealers s, soni
of liquor dealers 2, former pugilists 8, for.
mer "toughs" 4, members of the Tweed
gang OF this astonishing coterie seven
teen are now holding lucrative offices and
eight are only temporarily out Of Office.
All of which is very interesting. 1t will
also be interesting at the next election to see
the Post supporting the party of which these
men are valued and valuable members.

Can Lumbermen Utilize 1t Where They
Nnvu UJaa Ga and Ava

Can um oefmen Ut1l1Xo AS Wh6fo Vhoy
/, NOW Use Saw and Axe.
[From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.I
David J. Evans, lumber dealer of this city,
speaking with reference to the rumor that a
syndicate of Pittsburg capitalists had pur-
chased the pine lumber on 5000 acres near
Johnstown, and that the trees were to be fell
ed by electricity, said: "I was not aware that
there was such large quantity of pine in one
tract in that vicinity" He considered the
whole scheme, If any existed, q visionary one,
and doubted very much that any such syndi-
cate was in existence. With regard to the
telling of trees by electricity, Mr.. Evans said:
81 have for some time regarded such plan
as feasible, and also thought that the same
system could be adopted in saving the timber
into boards. My idea was to charge q wire
with the electric current until 1t reached a
white heat, and while in this state this wire
could take the place of the circular saw and
be made to pass through the sawlog. It
could also be used to saw boards into any re-
quired sizes. If any invention of this kind
proved success and was put in operation
In our sawmills, it would result in great saw
operation, and would do away with the an
noyance and accumulation of sawdust."
T. P. Dunn of Boston, the Pittsburg e1ectri-
clan of the Thompson-Houston company,
when asked subsequently to give bis opinion
on the feasibility Of the system suggested by
Mr.. Evans, said:
"The telling of trees by this means can be
successfully accomplished. A communication
on this subject recently appeared in one of
the electric journals. So that portion of the
subject is not altogether new. The other sug-
gestion made by Mr.. Evans bears the ear
marks of originality. If put into practice it
would prove a mechanical success. and would
prove quite an innovation in the lumber bus
iness. It would save time and money. But
the scheme has one drawback, which might,
however, be overcome. The wood would be
oharred by its contact with the hot wire, and
consequently the boards would be disfgured
to some extent. This might be overcome,
however, and then the plan would work ex-
eellently. For log saving or any other work
of that kind the plan would be big improve
ment on the present methods"

TOO FAMILIAR BY:FAR.

Northern Rudeness Greatly shocks q
Gentleman from Virginia.
[From Southern N ewspaper.
Cassius or "Cash" Cologne, ,as he is usually
named, well-known resident of Fauquier
county, Va, recently paid his visit to New
York. Wishing, unlike 80 many men to show
his thought for his wife when out Of her
sight, he entered leading dry goods store
for the purpose Of buying dress pattern or
some such suitable article. Walking up one
of the aisles, he was more than surprised to
hear some one In the dim distance loudly
yell out "Cash!"
Naturally surprised he looked in the direc-
tion whence the voice came, supposing it's
owner to be . friend or acquaintance, and
that Gotham's proverbial loeseness of habit
permitted this manner of salute. Still he could
see no one that he recognized. Wondering
more and more, ,astonishment grew to boiling
point, when, as if BY preconcerted signal,
from all quarters of the room came persistant
cries of ''Cashl Cash! Cashl" This was more
than the Virginian chivalry, in the person of
Mr.. Cologne, could bear, and, as at that mo.
ment clerk, with locomotive whistle voice,
standing right back of him, capped the cli-
max by shouting the name in his very ear, he
turned around and remarked:
"Look here, young fellow; you folks may
think you're having lot of fun with me, but
if you use my name that way again I'll break
your neck"
It took the proprietor and six floor walkers
half an hour to convince him as to the facts
of the case, and that no harm was meant.
Meanwhile he carried on in such way that
half the salemen went out and got big acci-
dent Insurance policies good until the Virgi.
mia gentlemen was booked to leave town.

There ia at, least one bill before congress
in which large number of the people of this
country are interested. This is the bill for
bidding the manufacture of beer except
from ssmalt, barley malt and water" 1t is
asserted that this bill has the earnest dis
like Of the glucose men, and that they have
hired an efficient lobby to work against it.
It will be interesting to watch the
testimony given in favor of and against this
bill. Fer many years the practice of
aduterating beer has been on the in-
crease, until it is believed by good judges
that there is very little good beer made. Some
physicians think that this sdultsrated beer
has had much to do with the increase of cer-
tain diseases. Attention has been often called
to the matter, but nothing effective has been
done. Perhaps nothing will be now, but
there ought to be. So much beer is used In
this country that its quality is matter of
great Importance. It is not known that very
injurious substances are used in the adulter-
alton. In fact, nobody seems to know much
about 1t except that glucose and aloes are
used. People will drink beer, and their beer
should be pure. If congress can make 1t 60
it will do good thing, even if the big brew
ers do not make quite as much.

Babies for Crocodile Bait.

IT mothers in general shared the nerve ex-
hibited by mothers in Ceylon, trouble would
be spared in many household. "Babies
wanted for crocodile bait. Will be returned
alive" says "theNew Zealand Tablet" If
newspapers abounded in Ceylon as much as
crocodiles do, advertisements. like the fore
going would be comman in their want col
umns.
Aa it is, the English crocodile hunter has
to secure his baby by personal solicitation.
He is often successful, for Ceylon parents, az
a rule, have unbounded confidence in the
hunters and will rent their babies out to be
used as crocodile bait for a small considera
ton. Ceylon crocodiles suffer greatly from
ennui; they prefer to lie quite still, soothed
by the SUMS glittering rays, and while away
their lazy lives in meditation.
But when dark brown infant with curl.
ing toes, sits on bank and blinks at them,
they throw of their cloak of lazinous an6
make their preparations for delecate morse
of Ceylonese humanity. When the croco
die gets about half way up the bank, the
hunter, concealed behind some reeds, opens
fire and the hungry crocodile has his appetite
and life taken away at the same time, the
baby being brought home safely to its loving
mamma.
The sportsman secures the skin and head o
the crocodile. and the rest of the CARCASS thu
natives makes use of.

Embarrassing.

From the Youth Companlon.J
Children sometimes tell the truth at the
most inopportune moments, much to the dis
comfort of their elders, writes a correspond
ent, who relates that lady of her acquaint-
ance, whose home was charmingly managed,
had two roguish, irrepressible boys.
One afternoon this lady had company. She
was particularly anxious to produce favor
able impression and took great pains for this
purpose. She prepared an elaborate supper.
The guests and family were gathered about
| the tea table, when one of the boys surprised
his mother by exclaiming during lull in the
conversation, "Tell you what, ma, we dom
have such supper's this very often, do wet
There was momentary pause; the hostess
blushed, and the said with a laugh; "No,
Johnnie, this is company supper" The re-
ply and the little laugh prevented any feeling
| of awkwardness.
After supper the company retired to the
parlor, where the lamps were lighted, and here
that artless boy fred another shot at his
mothers weak srmor.

charming youth, no matter what people may
say to the contrary, and he has much of the
gamin de Paris about him, being full of fun
and quite free from absurd stiffness and val
gar buckram. That he il remarkably well
educated and clever goes without saying, for
he is the son of his mother; but what is not
generally known is that he is possessed OF the
tenderness of heart of child. That he will
ever be great sovereign doubt, for I am
afraid that he will not live long enough te
develop into such; but that he has the stut1
in him of great man no one who knows
him personally can doubt.
An automatic card shuf1er is the work Of
an English inventor, Mr.. Booth. 1t works
thus: A sharp turn to the right of either OF
the two handles places the machine in work
ing order. The cards are then dropped into
the slot. The machine works by itself, and
the cards gradually disappear. When sthe
whole have passed into the machine the han
die is turned again in the same direction, and
the cards will be brought back to the surface
of the table. Another pack should then be
placed in the slot, and the shufaing process
repeats itself while the players are dealing
and playing pack No. 1. When the hand
has been played out turn of the handle
brings up pack No. 2 ready shufaed, and the
used pack No. 1, is then placed in the slot In
place of pack No. 2. This process may be
repeated indefinitely. By this arrangement
every card changes its position, passing
through the machine in twenty seconds.
