simple Precautions that MAY Keep Away
Disense.


The Transcript advises the following
simple precautions which may be the
means OF averting serious disease:
Don't put any money in your mouth.
IL is literally filthy luere. A doctor
who is in the habit of disinfecting the
money that comes to her, calls IL one Of
her charities Yet the coin or green
back, that at best Is far from inn
maculate and may be foul with disease,
Is held between the lips of some girl
while she searches for nickel 10 pay
fare with, or struggles with her
bundles. II she could see what IL is
she has placed in her mouth, she would
be cured of the habit onccofor all.
Don't often put candy in your mouth.
Investigations in dentistry show that
decaycd teeth are the work of n micro
organism that breeds and flourishes In
just that particular acid which the dis
Indignation of sugar produces In pro-
portion as foods contain starch and
sugar are they likely to affect the
teeth, and in candy the proportion OF
sugar is at the maximum. A prom
inent dentist cites the ease Of work.
ing confcctioncr who. by the time he
reached middle life, had not n tooth
left. His teeth were fragile to begin
with, and he had been living in an
atmosphere most favorable TO their
decay.
Don't put your bare hands IN the
straps furnished in the street car for
the overflow Of passengers. Turn one
of these straps inside out, in any
car not fresh from the shops
and the reason will be plain.
Handled rs they are by all sorts
and conditions Of men, they are ready
carriers of disease, The ubradcd skin
of your finger may touch an infected
spot or dangerous bacteria may he
transferred, at the next motion Of the
hand, TO tho delicate tissues of the
mouth or eyes.
Don't use public drinlslng vessels
Don't use the towels provided for gem
eral use in public lavatorics, mems res
taurants and sometimes In schools. A
specialist In diseases of the eye ut Buff
falo investigated the towels furnished
for the use OF pupils in the public
schools of that city, with view to dis
covering how far they might be source
of contagion. A square foot of towel
ing which had had moderate use was
found to contain from thirty-nvc TO fifty
million bacteria They included the
bacteria Of several contagious diseases.
and among them those of serious af-
fection of the eye. 1t is not generally
known that blindness is increasing in
this country four times as fast as the
population, and that the increase is due
largely to contagious disease OF the
eyes which is spread by just such
mcans.-Boston Transcript.

HUGE TREES OUT WEST.

some of the Wonderful Forests on Puget
sound.
The last OF the great forests OF the
United States are those of the Pacific
coast, and immcasurubly the greatest
of them is what Is known as the Puget
sound forest, extending from the Brit
ish Columbia line on the north IN the
Columbil river on the south, and from
the Cascade mountains on the east to
the Pacific OCEAN. Whore the forests
are Mt all dense the average amount per
square mile Is greater than in any 9th
or forest In the world. This Is
largely due TO the extreme hui
nudity OF the atmosphere and
the character OF the soil, which
Is one Of the richest anywhere
found. At the foot of Mount Tacoma
there are trees that by actual measure
ment by one of the best surveyors on
the coast, Prof. Fred q. Plummer, have
been found 20 be $50 feet high. Prof.
Charles +, Sargent, who prepared
many OF the articles on the forest trees
OF America for the census of 1880,
stated that the Douglas fir had a trunk
from 0,s3 to 800 meters, or from 9 feet
inches to IL feet In diameter
The red cedar is of still larger growth
and is often found to exceed 20 feet In
diameter, and on Johns river. which
flows into Gray's harhor, is red cedar,
apparently sound all through, that
measures a6 feet in diameter at
the butt two feet from the

THE LION OF VENICE.
Covered with Rlvets II Stni Stands In n
Famous city.

Covered with Rivets II StnI Stands In the
Famous city.
One OF the most wonderful pieces of
mechanical work ever undertaken by
human hands has just been completed
abroad. The celebrated landmark Of
Venice, the Lion of San Marco. has
during the past months been greatly
missed from the top of the mighty
column ofthe Marcus place by strangers
visiting the city Of lagoons. Last year,
when an examination OF II was made,
1t was found that the statue had fallen
into more than fifty pieces, which were
liable to come down at any moment
This discovery gave rise to "A desire
on the part Of some of the city fathers
to transfer the original lion to the Civil
museum, and to make for the Marcus
column an exact copy OF the historical
monument But the Venetians were
strongly opposed TO this and urged that
the original lion should remain In its
place. Thereupon Signor Luigi Ven-
drasco, devised n plan TO repair the
damaged monster With infinite labor
and care the decayed statue was low
cred TO the ground and its fragments
carried to the arsenal.
The experiment by which II was
thought the loose pieces could be re-
united by n smelling process proved
failure. Giovanni Bontempi, one of the
finest mechanics of Venice, was called
in and resolved to repair the fallen hero
by welding the pieces together In the
presence OF several of the municipal
officers More than three hundred and
fifty screws were used TO reunite the
separated pieces of metal, and tho
cracks and interstices were filled out
with an inside lining of bronze. This
difficult piece OF work was brought to
a happy close with marvellous skill.
Nothing can be seen OF the repairs ex-
ternally, and as of old the Lion OF San
Marco bids the stranger welcome as he
enters the beautiful city Of the Doges.

GOOD ONE.

Tn the Mohawk Valley in Arizona, a
dispatch informs us, quail are so plenti-
ful that they literally cover the ground
and can be caught by hand, children
making from 81 to $50 day catching
them, and their numbers do not seem to
diminish.
Similar reports Of the great number
OF these birds, the dispatch goes on,
come from Aqua Caliente and ella Bend,
and their slaughter continues daily.
There are millions upon millions OF
them, and no let-up in their numbers.
When a eovey is routed the sound of
their wings is simply deafening, resem-
bling a distant thunder roll.
II is plain to be seen that the North
Carolina liar has found that State too
hot for him and has migrated to Arizo-
na. We shall look with cheerful ex-
pectancy toward Arizona hereafter.
