DEATH OF JoHN c. McCAUsLANp

DEATH OF john c. McCAUsLAND
IN ST. Louis, No., WEDNESDAY,
FEBRUARY 4TH, 1s91.-we take the
following from the Clayton Argus of
st. Louis county of February 9th:
eater the unfortunate young man
had completed his business in the
city, he started from Fourth and
Olive streets to walk to the Union
Depot and on his way stepped into
Dustin's Laundry on Pine near
Eleventh street to get some articles
which he had left there. When he
had finished his business, he found
that he had but few minutes in
which to make his train on the st.
Louis, Kansas City and Colorado.
Electric car No. 1877, Davis, driver,
was passing at the rate of about 8
miles an hour. he ran across Pine
on the east side of Eleventh street
with bundle under his right arm.
he attempted to jump on the rear
platform of the motor car, his foot
missed the step and having caught
that rail with his left hand, the on
ward motion of the car swung his
body between the motor and the
trailer. He was thrown to the
ground and the front trucks ran ov-
err his body. He was dragged dis
lance of 8 or feet, snd when the
car was finally stopped, the rear
wheels were upon his body. Before
he could be extricated the car had
to be lifted from the track. He was
carried to the sidewalk and an am
bulance was soon called. He was
taken to the City Hospital where he
died at 7:45 p. m. of the same day,
not having recovered consciousness
from the time he was injured till
his death. The bereaved family
knew nothing of the sad ending of
a son and brothers bright young
life till nearly o'clock Thursday
morning. When the sad news was
broken to them, the poor widowed
mother was Frustrated with grief
and the rest of the family could
scarcely realize the truth of the sud-
den and unexpected stroke. Upon
examination of the wounds at the
hospital it was found that the lower
jaw was fractured in several places,
the left wrist was crushed, the right
ankle was broken and there were n
number of Commissions on the surface
of the body and head. The physi-
clans at the hospital say he died
from the effects of the above ment-
toned wounds. Young McCausland
was a son of the late DR.. r. X. Nc
Causland, and a grandson of Ralph
Clayton, after whom the county
seat is named"

NEW ToBAoco LAws.-A General

-
impression prevails in this county
that some changes have been made
regulating the sale of leaf tobacco,
but no one seems to know Just
what the changes are. The follow
ing from the State journal, publish
ed by A. B. White collector of in
ternal revenue may throw some
light on the subject.
Especial tax isimposed upon deal
ers in leaf tobacco until May L,
1891, but the provision of law i'm
posing restrictions upon farmers
and groscers of tobacco in regard to
the sales of their leaf tobacco and
the keeping of books, or imposing a
tax on account of such sales were
repealed taking effect October 1,
1890.
"Farmers can, therefore, sell their
crop of leaf tobacco (in the hand
and not stemmed or twisted) to any
one and peddle it about the country
without restriction any further than
to keep a correct account to report
under oath on demand of the Rev
enue officer, all sales of leaf tobacco,
the number of hogsheads, cases or
pounds, with the name and resi-
dence of the person to whom it was
sold and firm to which it was ship
ped.
persons who buy leaf tobacco
from farmers and sell again, are Ii
able to special taxes until May /,
1891.
"Stemmed and twisted tobacco is
construed as manufactured tobacco
and the sale thereof renders the SELL
er liable to special tax until May l,
1891 when all special taxes on sale
of leaf tobacco are repealed.
cater April 80, every dealer in
leaf tobacco (not including farmers
and growers manufacturers and
peddlers, shall register with. the
Collector of the district, his name or
style, his place of residence, trade
or business, and the place where
such business is to be carried on, the
same as tho the special tax for said
business had not been repealed, and
a penalty of $50 being imposed on
each person failing to comply"

Food for Brain workers.

The intellectual worker needs plenty
of light, digestiblc food. such as fish.
poultry, eggs, game. fruit and the Sue
culent vegetables. The proper diet fer
all sedentary people is an early and
entire supply of digeStible food, includ-
ing plenty of cereals and fruit. A cup
of some warm drink should be taken
just before rising. or as soon as it can
be prepared and positively 10
work should be done until after break
fast. As the digestive organs are
most active early in the day, a second
hearty but digestable meal can be eaten
at noon, if an hours rest intervenes
before continued labor or exercise.
The afternoon work should be light
and part of the time passed out of
doors. A light digestable dinner may
follow about nightfall and the even
ing be devoted to recreation or social
relaxation, When any. night work is
contemplated, food should be taken
about midnight and again at dawn,
when the vital forces fail
That sad, still hour before the dawn,
When old men die and babes are born
Special care should be taken to in
sure plenty of pure air and light;
strong meats and drinks should be
avoided, and abundance of milk used,
with eggs, fruit and fresh vegetables
and salads.

Science In 1863.

A curious example of how modern
research in bacteriology was foreshad-
owed long ago is furnished in a report
of a recent lecture of scientist given
in Nature. He there quoted a French
traveller visiting England in 1868, who
attended a meeting of the Royal Acad-
envy on May % of that year. At this
meeting it was reported, among other
things, that the termination of insects
does not arise from decay; for the in
testines of an animal and other parts
which easily corrupt having been
placed in glass, closed with cotton
wool. so that no fly or other animal
could enter, but only the air could pen
citrate, they had been preserved for six
months without maggot or other thing
being observed. This is almost exact
" the experiment of Pasteur in the
present generation, except that in the
latter experiment. not only were in
sects and other animals excluded but
also the microscopic vegetable germs
which were utterly unknown to the
earlier experimenter.
