An illustrious German medical professor
makes Q timely suggestion on the posi-
bility of the cholera reaching the United
States, that as the length of the sea voyage
is sufficient for the Development of any
cases where the disease was contracted be-
ford the immigrants set sail, there is small
chance of its entering this country by
water if faithful quarantine regulations
are carried out, but that there is danger
that the disease may enter by way of Cam
ada, as that country has in the past i'm
ported both cholera and typhus fever from
Europe and may very naturally do 30
again.
A western coin dealer has recently OBJ
tanned q very curious lot of copper coins
from Sweden for the collection which he
is making for the worlds fair. They were
coined during the sixteenth century, when
Sweden adopted a rule that its circulating
medium should be nothing but copper.
The coins are great fat pieces roughly cut
into squares. The smallest is four inches
square and worth 80 cents, and the largest
over foot square and with face value of
81. Each slab is stamped in several places
with an inscription giving its date of issue
and its denomination. The largest weighs
over four pounds. When this coinage was
in circulation ladies out shopping had to
have servants in attendance to carry their
purses.
One by one the notions go. 1t is often
said that if white people could live most
of the time in the open air, like the
Indians, they would never have con-
sumption; and, in fact, certain physicians
attempt to cure consumption by keeping
their patients outdoors nearly all the time.
But DR.. A. B. Holder, of Memphis, Ten
nessee, now comes forward with statistics
to show that the Indian is peculiarly sub
ject to pulmonary diseases. Reports which
he secured from the Indians of Yankton
and Sisseton, Dakota; DEVILS Lake,
Dakota; Green Bay, Wisconsin; Tulalip,
Washington; Standing Rock, Dakota;
Lower Brule, Dakota; Usage, Indian Terri
tory; Crow Greek, Dakota; Cheyenne
River, Dakota; and Western Shoshone,
Nevada, all teemed with data as to the
fatal ravages of consumption. Of 1, 453
deaths from all diseases in 1888, 514 were
from consumption alone.
The Alliance Israelite Universelle has
determined to be an exhibitor at the
Worlds Columbian exposition. The alli-
ance will show specimens of the work per-
formed by the pupils in all it's schools,
photographs of the school buildings, pro-
ducts of the agricultural school at Jaffa
and of the technical school at Jerusalem,
and of its boy and girl apprentices in
workshops. The collective exhibit will
give an idea of the results obtained by the
society since its foundation in the domain
of elementary and technical education.
Documents will also be exhibited giving
an account of the action taken by the Alli-
ance in the interests of the Jews in coun-
tries where they are still subjected to per
secution. This will not be the first occa-
sion that the practical work of the Alli-
ance has been brought under public notice
at exhibitions, but hither to these displays
have been on a small scale and chiefly To-
cal. In 1888 the Tunis school had an in
tere sting show at the Amsterdam exhibi-
tion, and was awarded one of the prizes.
