HAszEEsE FOR THE DsMKEa.

Before the Goldey Debating So
ciety, an organization devoted to the
discussion of current events, DIR. P.
A. o. Madison, physician of local
prominence, read paper on the
bichloride of gold treatment for
drunkenness. The doctor said that
he had thoroughly looked into the
Kelley cure or so-called. The
foundation of the cure, he said, was
the use of the bichloride of gold as
an injection. The value of bichloride
of gold as a cure for alcoholism, he
said, was discovered over 400 years
ago. As a remedy, however, gold
had practically been out of use by the
medical fraternity until the Kelley
cure had brought it conspicuously to
the front Getting down to the
Kelley cure, the doctor said that
unless the disease of alcoholism was
fully developed in the patient, the
cure was useless. Bichloride of gold
would have substantially no effect on
the system of a man who had really
had not the disease of alcoholism.
1t would not eradicate from the
system of a moderate drinker his de-
sire for liquor, and only in the case
of man who had really become an
inebriate would the injection of
bichloride of gold have It's beneficial
results. The trouble with the cure
as it was now administered, the doc
tor said, was that the tonic that was
given with the bichloride of gold had
for its fundamental ingredient what
in science isknown as canabis indica,
or "hasheesh." That drug was of
most potent character. The injec-
tons of the blchloride of gold pro-
duced a depressing effect on the
patient. The tonic containing the
Indian hemp, or "hasheesh," counter.
acted the depressing effect of the
injections of the bichloride of gold,
but the drug distilled from the hemp |
"hasheesh" was more dangerous to
the system that the excessive use of
alcohol. The doctor said that he
had analysed the tonic given as part
of the bichloride of gold cure and
had found that the Indian hemp, or
"hasheesh," was its chief ingredient"

DISEASES OF THE OYSTER.

II. f. Gross, a Philadelphia, who
has been studying the anatomy of the
oyster for six years, during which
time he has dissected 5000 speci-
mems and put them under the micro
scope, advances the theory that
oysters may communicate tuberculo-
sis, that, in fact, they are overrun
with bacilli. To a visitor Mr.. Gross
said: "Let me show you how l
work." and, opening a case of slen-
der, keen.edged knives, he cut tiny
portions from each oyster. These
he placed in jars of colored fluid for
several minutes, and then, handling
them with small German silver
tweezers, he mounted the PARTICLES
on glass slides, first dropping a little
Canada balsam upon each slide. He
lit lamp beside the microscope,
placed a slide beneath the lens, and
then, after carefully adjusting the
focus, exhibited, one after another,
upward of thirty parts of the oysters
organism. 81 have discovered" he
continued, Gin the large lungs of
sixty per cent. of the specimens ex-
amined clearly defined bacilli, this
fact seeming to prove that thousands
of oysters suffer from consumption.
/ am able to tell at a glance
whether or not an oyster is thus
afflicted, but the majority of openers
are not, as the disease makes only a
slight change in the oysters appear
ance. Consequently, through the
ignorance of his server, a man will
innocently eat consumptive oyster,
then the bacilli tuberculosis in its
lungs may impregnate his system,
and he is not unlikely to fall victim
to the fatal disease" IN. Y. Post.

The number of cross ties used on
the average railroad in the course of
a twelvemonth is very large. For
instance, last year over 100000 were
used in construction work on the
Pittsburg g. Lake Erie, add this year
10000 will be required. There was
a great deal of second track built
last year, and, consequently, large
number of ties were utilized. The
ties used on the Pittsburg q Lake
Erie arc either of white or rock oak,
and are purchased in the mountain
Gus portions of West Virginia, where
indeed, several roads in this section
secure their ties. They cost about
% cents apiece.

The Source of the Danube.

The little town of Donaueschingen
perched high in the invigorating air of the
Black Forest, has been arbitrarily desig-
mated the source of the Danube. The
prince who owns most of the land in the
neighborhood has built an ornamental
stone basin for very powerful spring that
gushes out close to his palace and has
erected portentous slab, notifying all the
world that this Is the genuine source of
the greatest of European streams, that it
is $50 kilOmeters to the Black sea and CTS
meters above tide water
| ventured to point out to an intelligent
Black Forester who stood with me by this
monument that the real source of the
Danube was higher up, but he regarded
my statement as outrageous. "Gott in
Himmelp' said he piously Here lives
the prince, here is his palace, here is the
official statement cut in the stone. What
more do You want"
was silenced, but could not help feeling
that If an enterprising promoter could Sc

III alifaX,

The evil repute of Halifax implied in
the adage go to Halifax came to it by
inheritance from Halifax in Yorkshire.
England. Halifax law, as may be gathered
from letter of Lord Leicester quoted by
Motley, was that criminals should be "con-
demned first and inquired upon after
ward"
Halifax lay within the forest of Hard
wick, where the law was that if a felon
was taken with 49, pence worth of stolen
goods he should be tried by four firth bur
gers from four of the precinct towns, and
if condemned by them be hanged the next
day After this proceeding had been car
ried out to the letter the case might be
sent to jury
Halifax is also credited with being the
home of the guillotine, which the regent,
Earl Morton. introduced into Scotland
only TO have his own head chopped off
with it.-St. Louis Rep1blic

A Wild Human Being.

Near the Goomtee river, in a district
where wolves abound and are never killed
by the natives from fear of the ill luck
which their death will bring upon the vii
lage, native trooper saw large she wolf
leave her den followed by three whelps and
little boy
The boy seemed on the best possible
terms with the old dam and the three
whelps. and the mother wolf seemed to
guard all four with equal care. They all
went down to the river and drank, after
which they were chased by the trooper
but they escaped over rough ground into
the den. the boy running on all tours quite
as fast as the young wolves The man
then got assistance and dug the whole
party out; the wolves and the boy bolted
together, and the boy was caught. fastened
to rope and led to the village
He could not speak, but growled and
snarled like Il young wolf, and tried to bolt
in every hole and shelter that was passed
After four days he was sent to an English
officer, Capt. Nicholetts. Though kindly
treated, he never learned to speak, ran
away from grown up people, flew at chill
dren and tried to bite them and ran to eat
his food on all tours. But he was friendly
with pariah dog, and would let it share
his food. He would suck up "A whole
pitcher of buttermilk without drawing
breath apparently. He never laughed or
smiled. and destroyed all clothes given
him.
Two and half years after his capture
he died, and just before his death spoke

Fish That EiIl Each Other.

One of the queerest sharks is the thrash
er, which has the upper lobe of it's tail so
much developed as TO equal in length the
body of the fish itself. This tail is con-
trolled by powerful muscles, and is used as
weapon. Swordfih and thrasher sharks
have been seen on many occasions to at
tack whales in concert and kill them, the
sharks flashing their victims with their
tails while the swordfish pierce them from
below. On the other hand, sharks them
selves are often killed by porpoises, which
will surround shark and lash the enemy
to death with their fiukes. Washington

Why People Began to Sit When Eating.

why W nen Eating.
1t seems not TO be precisely known when
it became habit 1al to sit mt table. Among
the first men II WIS customary to recline
in circle or to place themselves in half
sitting posture about the repast, whether
1t was an animal roasted over the fire or
caldron containing food cooked by boil
ing. Seats for kings or mobiles were com
mon among the Assyrians, Egyptians and
Hebrews, but persons of inferior rank, or
even lords themselves sprawled on carpets
or on the bare ground. The Greeks re-
clined at their meals, and for the rest of
the time reclined, sat or lOunged. accord
ing rs they found one posture more agree
able than another or their occupations
permitted
The Romans followed the.same custom.
though benches and chairs were probably
more numerous among them What were
the customs in this respect of the Romans
who coloniZed and whose descendants oc-
cupled the coun tries now called France
and Spain, we do not precisely know, but
1t Is reasonable to suppose that the habit
of sitting at meals or elsewhere in the
house became general on account of the
severity of the climate and the different
architectural conditions in which the peo-
pie lived. 1t was certainly more natural
to recline in cl mate that permitted life
to be largely pas ed in rooms open to the
weather or in the open air, than in build
ings damp and cold in winter, where con
tact with the floor was particularly to be
avoided. San Francisco Chronicle
