lows that these must be carefully watched
should the disease find lodgment here.
1t is most fortunate that the cholera ba-
ciIIus can neither stand heat nor cold. A
few days OF sharp frost will stamp an ep-
idemic of the disease out. Food must be
eaten while hot and fresh from the fire.
and water, in cholera times, must be
boiled. The extraordinary freedom from
cholera which has always marked the
Chlnese OF the southern provinces OF the
Celestial Empire, living as they do amid
almost typical cholera conditions, and
with disregard of sanitation almost sub
lime, has been credited TO the universal
habit OF tea drinking. In other words,
the TACT that Chinese never drink water
which has not been boiled probably ac-
counts for that other fact that there are
any Chinese left to drink anything.
While this is putting it strongly, it is not
objectionable exaggeration.
Should the cholera come here we must
then see TO it that all germs are destroyed
by heat before taking them into our
bodies. 1t is necessary, too, that the
most absolute cleanliness, especially Of
the hands, be observed and particularly
for those who handle food. The germs
may easily be found on such things as
straps in cars, baIusters on public stair
ways, door knobs, money and the like. L
cannot too strongly state the fact that the
break out to any extent, would be almost
innumerable and that no amount Of pre-
caution, therefore, can be too great. A
pelson whose hands in any way come in
contact with the discharges of cholera
patient could easily inject hundreds OF
people by leaving the bacili where they
could attach themselves TO other hands.
So far as the care of the health goes, were
cholera to break out, it is not difficult to
give directions. Fortunately for US when
we are in health we can resist disease
germs if they are taken into the system.
The care for ourselves during a cholera
outbreak is, therefore, merely that care
we should properly take at all times. We
must take plenty OF sleep, a lair amount
of exercise, eat; very plain food thor
oughly cooked, drink water that has been
boiled and allowed to cool in bottles on
ice, let raw fruit alone, wear light fan-
nels, and in general lead as rational life
as we may. No precaution against chol-
era or any other disease equals perfect
health, for with this we can defy it

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad,
vantage to the fruit grower Of being in early locality
In most it makes the difference between success
and failure The industrious orchardst of Capay Valley
may rest assured that he will derive all the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments of the season. and that 20
acres OF this rich land when the trees are in bearing
will yield handsome and assured income
The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re-

THE ELEPHANT KNEW.
Evidence of Sagacity and Reasoning
Power in the Pachyderm.

Power in the Pachyderm.
Stories of the elephants sagacity are
everywhere rife in India, and, indeed,
everyone who happens to have seen these
creatures employed in Government con-
tract labor will scarcely have failed to
notice numerous instances OF it himself
An engineer officer, who was stationed
at Calcutta few years back, was DOS
sessed of a very valuable elephant, which,
to his great grief, contracted Yirulent
disease of the eyes, and, after suffering
with 1t for few days, became completely
blind. His owner thereupon applied to a
resident surgeon, stating the case. and
asking If he could do anything for the
relief OF his taVOrite. The surgeon, after
examining the elephants eyes, said that
he was willing to try the effect of nitrate
OF silver on one OF them, that being a
remedy which was very beneficial in the
| treatment OF the human eye afflicted with
similar disease. The animals driver
was accordingly summoned, and the
great beast, by his instrumentality, made
to lie down. The doctors then applied
the nitrate of silver. and line elephant ut
tering a roar Of pain, jumped up and be-
haved in such an outrageous fashion that
was it some hours before he could be
calmed down and secured in his stable
again.
A day or two afterward the doctor called
again, and found that his application had
worked wonders, the sight OF the one eye
being almost entirely restored and in
consequence determined to operate in a
similar manner on the other. He was
apprehensive of the animals behavior,
more especially as he was now able to
see, and suggested that be be properly
secured before he operated upon him.
However, the elephant had recognized
the Doctors voice, and to every bOdy's in
| tense astonishment, followed him of his
own accord out of the stable into the open
air, lay down without any persuasion,
placing his head quietly on one side with
the diseased eye upward, then curled up
his trunk and drew in a deep breath,
like any human being might do who was
about to undergo painful operation, and
awaited the DOCTORS pleasure. The latter
used his brush as dezterouSly as possi-
bic, and applied the cauStlc as quickly as
he could, and at the same time perform
the work thoroughly. During the entire
operation the elephant, so tar from be-
having as he had previously done, ut
tered not a sound, and when it was over
got up with a sigh OF satisfaction, and
manifested by every means in his power
the delight and gratitude he experienced
at its completion, gently caressing the
surgeon with his trunk and making other
similar demonstrations as he walked back

This incident, which was well-known
in Calcutta, not only showed memory.
but high high order Of reasoning pow
er, for the animal, remembering the ben
etit he had received from the tirst appli-
cation, was, in spite of his pain it caused
him, not only willing but anxious to un-
dergo the second in order that his eye
might be cured in like manner.-St.

Mr.. Wilton Il. Palmer of New York CITY
left circle of friends one afternoon recently
and received their Congratulations uDon his
bright and vigorous appearance. That even
ing he felt a tickling in the throat a slight
pain across the chest, a chilly sensation. and
he coughed once or twice. Next day his nos
trils Were infamed, his throat sore. his chest
panied him, his bones ached, and lie felt sore
all over. The day following he was in bed,
with physicians shaking their heads and the
third day he was dead from pneumonia,
which he failed to take in time.
There are ten thousand men and women in
America to-day in the same condition as Mr.
Palmer when leaving his friends, but they do
not know it. The slightest appearance of the

throughout the body are the first symptoms.

about a reaction? Ask any physician and he
will tell you to use pure whisky. No matter
how prejudiced any one may be, pure whisky
at such a time is necessity, but unfortunately
there are few pure whiskies in the world, and
in fact there is but one that has received the
unqualified Endorsement of physicians chem

Duffy's Pure Malt. This remarkable whisky

The word quarantine, which is now of

ian, quarantine. The monkish or the late
Latin term was applied by the Anglo
Saxons about Egbert's time. IL was then
the custom to compute periods of time by
forties, and vessel coming from sus-

A senseless Custom.

Why do we still continue to wear
mourning? The custom is outworn, it
is an anachronism in the nineteenth cent
ury. 1t is unchristian; it clouds tha
spiritual significance OF the resurrection
with the ever-present expression Of tenn
pOral loss. 1t is cruel; it forces helpless
and innocent people into action which
entails privation and unnecessary sur
fering. Il is untruthful; it makes false
outward show of changes in sentiment.
And it is essentially vulgar, for it presses
private affairs upon public notice; it
thrusts claims of fashion and frivolity
upon time which most greatly moves
the nights and depths Of being and it
forces its superficial worldliness into the
fiercest throes which can ever refine hu-
man nature.-Mary Z. Blake in North
American Review.

Across the blue

For they, like thee,
The cold would flee:
They know in some far coy nest

Their petals close,
Pansy and sweet fOrget-ne-not.
Now go to sleep,

The blue-eyed violet vigil keeping,
Is wide awake while all are sleeping.
And thus the gentle voices calling,
Calling, calling.
The leaves so brown
Are coaxing down.
And all day long they're softly falling,
Failing, falling.
Yellow and red

For now they know like all the rest
