DEATH TO THE BACTERIA.

DHA i " d nn1As
The eminent bacteriologists have had
wonderful success in discovering millions
of bacteria. They have made 1t quite plain
that it is about as dangerous to live as 1t is
to die, and they have made everybody
wonder how anybody escapes the microbes
which swarm everywhere, eager to destroy.
Bnt they do not leave us entirely without
hope. And 1t can be said for them that if
they continue to discover as pleasant de-
stroyers of the bacteria as have lately been
discovered they will be regarded with deep
and general gratitude. For instance, one
of them has announced that wine-claret
or hock-will kill the bacilH of
cholera in few hours. Tea will
kill them in an hour. 1t has also been dis
covered that the cholera baccili can't live
in the same place with Russian csviare.
This, 1t may be said in passing, will please
those who like Russian caviare. But all
will be pleased with the wonderful dis
covery announced by NJ. Chamberlain as
the result of prolonged research and ex-
pertinent in n. Pssteur's laboratory. ''No
living germ of disease can resist the anti
septic power of essence of cinnamon for
more than few hours," says N. Chamber
land. 1t is said to destroy microbes as
effectively, If not as rapidly, as corrosive
sublimate. Even the scent of 1t is fatal to
microbes, and NJ. Cumberland says a de-
coction of cinnamon ehould be taken freely
by persons living in places affected by ty-
phoid or cholera.
This is highly important if true. CHINA
mon isn't bad to take and 1t is decidedly
pleasant to smell. I'm. Chamberlain has
discovered the conqueror of the microbes
he has earned the thanks and the honor of
mankind. If he really has, three cheers
for Chamberland and Cinnamon!

SOME HUMAN IMPERFEoTION.

1t appears that one reason why the
newspapers have disturbed sensitive people
by reporting more murders, suicides, hang
ings and lynchings during the last year
than in other years is that there have been
more to report. A careful record of theee
gruesome events has been kept by the Chi
csgo Tribune, and the record for the year
1892 Is not q very encouraging one. The
whole number of murders committed in
1892 In this country was 6,792, as COM
pared with 5,906 in 1891, 1890 in 1890
and 1867 in 1889. The fact that the
number of murders has almost doubled
within three years is startling, and the fur
ther fact that although capital punishment
is the law of most of the States the number
of judicial executions has decreased is not re-
assuring. While there were Q, ,792 murders
there were only 107 lawful hangings in the
country, as compared with 1913 in 1891.
OF these twenty-nine occurred in the North
and seventy-eight in the South. But while
the law against murder has not been en-
forced by the courts, lynching parties
have executed vengeance in increasing
ratio. The number of persons lynched
last year was 1856, as compared with 1876 in
1891. Of these lynchings, 200 occurred in
the South and 155 of the victims were
negroes.
The statistics of suicides are equally de-
pressing. There were 8, $3.50 last year, as
compared with 1881 in 1891, and the in
crease over three years ago WAS !, ,63e. The
methods of suicide were various, as, for
instance. 1900 by shooting, 1,o1O by
poison, 6Os by hanging. S96 by drowning,
319 by throat cutting, ninety one by throw
ing themselves before locomotives, fifty
six by jumping from windows, fifty by
stabbing, fifteen by burning, six each by
starving and dynamite, and one each by
getting under a triphsmmer, beating the
head against a stone wall and freezing.
OF the suicides, 3,O55 were men, and s05
women, and thirty. seven were physicians.
This is sadly impressive record. 1t
shows that many people do not know how
to live right or die right.

Living in India Is dangerous business.
During 1891 about 450 more persons were
killed by wild beasts In India than during
the preceding yeas. The number killed in
1890, however, was very low; still the fig
ures for 1891 are about $50 in excess of
the mean. The yearly average of persons
killed by wild beasts in India is between
1850 and 5000. The mortality from
snake bites is very much greater, varying
from 21,O00 to $4,000 annually. In one
district in Bengal, Hszaribagh, no fewer
than 205 deaths were due in 1891 to a
single brood of man-eating tigers.
What strike can do is thus shown by
the Philadelphia Press in an account of the
condition of things at Homestead: The
entire aspect of the place has changed.
The streets are deserted and the majority
of the workingmen seen upon its thor
oughfsres stand shivering in the lee of
sheltered buildings. The day of promised
wrath has come upon this town, one of the

vania. Strike, advisory committee and
happy homes have been broken. Men
whose life interests apparently were CEN
tered around the place are in prison, have
or have gone TO distant states
to begin life over again at one half, or one
third, the wages which they received for
years in the mills of this place. Hundreds

TWO UNRROKEN STATES

The meeting of the board Of aldermen
last evening was q very interesting and
significant one. For weeks there has been
talk of deals aud bolts, and all the local
politicians have been much heated by ar
gument, and some of them by heating
drinks. But the suspense is over, although
the arguing and the drinking Of heating
drinks are not. Both the Republican and
the Democratic states went through the
contest unbroken. The voting was little
queer at the start, and 30 dangerous that
1t was felt that protest was necessary.
The protest was made and then matters
moved more smoothly and regularly.
The result will be on the whole very

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Ward McAllister knows thing or two.
He explains what gentleman ought to be
expected to do when his face is slapped
by another gentleman in Q club or other
place. Mr.. McAllister decides that q gen.
tleman who receives an insult, either by
word or blow, should repel 1t at once with
his fist or some appropriate weapon.
Some one having asked Mr.. Gladstonn
the secret of his remarkable activity, he
replied with story: "There was once
road leading out of London on which
more horses died than any other, and in
quiry revealed the fact that it was per-
fectly level. Consequently the animals i'm
travelling over it used only one set of
muscles."
Mrs. Jefferson Davis appears to be an
unusually sensible and independent woman.

A Cure for Stamm ering.

A gentleman who stammered from
childhood almost up TO manhood gives
very simple remedy for the misfortune:
Go into a room where you will be quiet
and alone, get some book that will in
terest but not excite you, and sit down
and read two hours aloud TO yourself,
keeping your teeth together. DO tho
same thing every two or three days, or
once week il very tiresomo, always
taking care to read slowly and distinctly,
moving the lips but not the teeth.
Then, when conversing with others, try
TO speak as slowly and distinctly as pos
sible aud make up your mind that you
will not stammer. Well, tried this
remedy, not having much faith in it, |
must confess, but willing to DO almost
anything to cure myself of such an an
noying difficulty. read for two hours
aloud with my teeth together. The first
result was 10 make my tongue and jaws
ache--that is. while | was reading--and
the next TO make me feel as il something
had loosened my talking apparatus, for
could speak with less difficulty imme-
diately. The change was so great that
every one who knew me remarked il
repeated this remedy every five or six
days for a month. aud then at longer in
tervals until cured. Good Health.
