Dtrerent Kinds of Dogs.

People commonly imagine that in
speaking of dogs they are referring to
q single species which has many vare-
ties. But in reality the name is merely
a conventional one, under which are
grouped in popular parlance all OF the
domcsticated CANNES. The Nor tn

You May Get Consumption In YarIou
Ways, But Not by Birth.
The accumulation of evidence is be-
coming so great that every physician of
experience is forced to share the belief
of the commfinicability of consumption.
There are Also few physicians who have
not had one or more cases that for years
they had thought had been contracted
in this way, writes DR.. Chappell, in the
North American Review. How else
than by communication are we to ac-
count for the rapid spread of consump-
ton amongst savage nations. where
this disease was unknown before civil
lied people began to visit them? This
is true of our own American Indians,
the inhabitants Of Central Africa and
many other countries. Intermarrying
or any other condition which might
make hereditary transmission a posi-
BILE cause certainly could not account
for its rapid progress. Besides, some of
the best observers and Investigators be-
lieve that consumption is not heredita-
ry, and there is much positive evidence
in favor of this view. With such evil
dence of the possibility of inhaling the
bacilli the question would naturally be
asked: How do the bacilli get into the
atmosphere when they are not found in
the breath of sufferers of this disease?
We know positively that in these cases
bacilli are present in the mucus which
is raised after coughing In its moist
condition it is impossible for it to be in
hailed, but when it dries and becomes
dust it is blown about, and it is in this
form that it becomes dangerous

The city in Europe which makes the

there has been no single matrimonial

latter is about the only capital in the
world which is absolutely without any
chroniquc scandaleuse. The Athcnians
marry young and remain faithful to
their marriage vows. This is not alone
on account of principle, but is also at
tributable in measure to the almost
entire absence of the demi monde. What
little there is of the latter in Athens is
exclusively of foreign origin.

ucxioan Colonization schem

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 2S.-One of the
Invaluable and extensive colonial
ton concessions ever granted by the
Mexican government has just been
granted to Rafael Dorantes, ipromi-
nent capitalist of this city. By the
terms of the contract the government
agreed to sell Mr.. Dorantes 800, 900 acres
of rich agricultural land in the states of
Tabasco and Chiapas at forty cents per
acre. This price is to be paid in five
yearly installments in paper of the rec
ognized public debt, commencing May
/, 1893. The grantee obliges himself to
settle the land with colonists at the
rate of at least two families to every
1000 acres, each settler to have twenty
five acres coded to him.
