CELERY AND TYPHOID.
This Vegetable should BE Carefully Ex-
amined and Washed Before Using.
aF.eg.of V,urpoI

hoIicAl jouruhL
An item regarding the alleged alb
sorption Of the typhoid bacillus from
the soil into the juices of plants, where
the fertilizing agent that has been
used has been night-soil from the city
vaults. has had some currency IN our
sanitary periodicals While the typhoid
bacillus can at times be detected i'll the
manure obtained from the scavengers,
no competent observer has, we think,
detected it in the juices Of vegetables
that have been MANFRED with that sub
stance.
The use Of such manure is, however,
not wholly free from danger, and vege-
tables that do not pass through the pro-
cess Of boiling in their preparation for
the table should be cleansed from all at
tached foreign matter with unusual care.
In the ncighborhood OF many OF our
cities the cultyators of celery and other
garden vegetables add liquid night-soil
manure to their fields in order to ad-
vance the growth of their crops.
A certain portion of this fertilizer can
not fail TO lodge on the leaves and stems
of such edible plants ss celery, which filth
will not be all disengaged and washed
away 10y the ordinary processes OF
cleansing for table use. Celery is espe-
ciallv mentioned, becauseit is peculiarly
apt to catch and hold the solid contents
Of the scattered cess-pit manure, and IN
this dirt the bacilli Of tYphoid-fever have
been detected time and again.

A Young married man named John
con. in Chicago, who was drawing a
liberal salary, told his devoted wife that
every go bill that came to him should be
hers for pin-money, says the San Fran
cisco AFJOnGW.
Gradually Mr.. Johnson's friends heard
of the promise. and began to conspire to
help ont the popular young lady.
Ii they owed their friend anything,
thew invariably paid him in 81 bills
Finally they got to borrowing from him
on purpose to liquidate in this way. and,
still unsuspechng, Mr.. johnson contln-
ned TO allow the bills TO flow into the
willing lap Of his better half.
Finally the cashier of the firm that
employed him learned of the generous
promise, and he, too, entered the con-
spiracy, and the next payday handed
Mr.. johnson roll that staggered him.
Every dollar Of it was in the denomina-
ton of 1.-TWO" Sweating under the
burden the repentant husband wended
his way homeward.

CAPTAIN KlpD's LOST TREASURE.
Maine Fortune Hunters Searching for II

II the amount OF Captain Kids trea-

the most frequent, if not the most sue

savings institutions, and there is proba-

coast where some one has not searched
for this ill-gotten gold. Wood Island,
at the mouth OF the Saco river. Is
a favorite hunting ground with the
people in this locality when they get the
fever, and it has lately been the scene OF
operation of two men who would rather
work an amateur Fold-mine than follow
their natural avocations. These two men,

One night short time ago they drove
quietly down to the Pool in team, and
were ferried over to the island by boat

tunately, supcrsttious, being ardent be-

not been frightened OFF by one of the

sword in the presence of the assembled
garrison, and lightly touching the Shout

pronounced the stirring words: I'm the

of the French army, present you with
this Cross of Honor. No one has more
glorious claims to this reward, as no one
has more than you devoted a whole life
to the service of the country" The
troops were then ordered to present
arms" and the ceremony concluded as
impressively as it had begun. The Gov
ernor-General was not indulging in any
figure of speech when he thus addressed
this heroic lady, for such record as hers
is not an ordinary one. Sister Marie
Thercse had barely attained her
twenty-sixth year when she was wound
ed at Balaclava as she was tending the
troops on that memorable battlefield.
The Italian campaign was her next ex-
perlenCe, ana again Sne was wounded at
Magenta, in the forefront of the French
army. In Syria, in China and in Next
CO, she was at her post alternating the
sufferings of the sick and wounded; but
the most splendid achievement of all
was at Reichshofen. On that field
which the French remember with pride,
calling to mind the gallant behavior of
their cuirassiers-Sister Marie Therese
was picked up badly wounded amid the
bodies of the slain; but her injuries did
not long detain her from her work of
mercy, and shortly afterwards a she'll
having fallen close to the ambulance

sile up and carried it to some distance,
when it burst, again wounding her Sc
vercly. She had hardly recovered from
these terrible injuries when she was
summoned to Tonkin. and nobly re-
sponded to the call. Such is the woman
whose heroism has been publicly recog-
nized. just as she has attained the age
of three-score years and ten.-LondOn
