What Doctors Say.

AS tuberculosis is of all diseases that which
has the most victims, that is welcome as
surance which Professor German See gives,
that there is no communication of tuber-
culosis by the air Of respiration The pro-
fessor says the bacillus cannot live in the air
1t never develops and multiphes outside of
the organism of man or the animal. In the
open air it dies rapidly, as, in order to live,
it needs a temperature of 80 dogs C. The
matter of atmospheric contagion is a buga-
boo, which has already wrought trouble In
families by causing the poor consumptive TO
be treated like a leper-shunned and aban-
doned by his nearest relatives.
Remember, says one medical man, that if
you think you have undoubted symptoms of
Bright's disease, consumption, cancer, insan-
ity or paralysis, that you probably haven't a
trace of any such disease about you.
DR.. Jerome Walker claims that meat once
a day is enough for the ordinary man.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 17.-An auda-
cious plan formed by number of prison
ers in the Jail of Wyandotte county to es-

slung shot. With this he was to kill
Jailer Fay. secure his keys, unlock the
cells of his confederates and, with their
occupants, secure freedom. One of the
plotters revealed the plan. Today Jailer
Fay entered Culbert's cell alone. When
Fay's back was half turned the prisoner
raised the slung shot to strike, but Fay,
anticipating the attack, was too quick for
him and drawing his revolver re-
lieved him of his weapon.

the immense chimney of the thread
works twice. The outer course of brick
was torn off in several places and the
chimney probably injured in other ways,
so that it was thought unsafe to continue
the operation of the mills till an exam
ination could be made.
The height of the stack is 1856 feet,
greater than that of any other in the
United States How to examine and
repair the damage wrought was prob
lem solved by Phillips, who offered to
climb the chimney and hang a
painters scaffolding from the top.
He proposed to use ladders which he
would lash firmly to each other and fix
to the side of the chimney by means OF
spikes driven into the cement between
the bricks. His proposition was ac-
copied, and week ago last Wednesday
he began to ascend the chimney.
With ladders and ropes and spikes
Phillips set to work, and in few hours
he de monstrated the practicability OF
his plan. A fire truck ladder thirty
five feet in length was used as a
foundation, its spikes at the bottom
being sunk in heavy plank, and its
upper end fastened to the chimney
with hooked spikes, which were
firmly driven into the cement. The
