NV YozK, February 13.-R. G. Dun J.
Co.'S Weekly Renew of Trade says:
Two important events. tho defeat of the
snti-silver legislation and the concerted de-
posit of gold by New York banks in the
treasury in exchange for legal tender, have
a directly opposing but powerful influence
upon the markets, and it is yet too early to
determine what the ne. result may be.
Speculation has been quiet and irregular.

One Of the worst plaques that .
wasted human life has bean almost
stamped out, or at least robbed Of
much Of its ancient terrors, By vac.
cinatioH. A similar protection has
been successfully adopted against
certain destructive epidemics among
the lower animals, and there il little
doubt that other infectious diseases
will yet be brought under scientific
control.
There is not no epidemic that
causes such universal terror as the
cholera: none whose CHASTITY march
seems so irresistible from nation to
nation and from continent to CONT
| nent; none whose deadly work is
surer, speedier, or attended with more
agonizing symptoms; none that 50
paralyzes the commerce OF the world;
none that calls out such strenuous ef-
forts to resist its invasion, or to re-
strain its spread. Is it possible that
we shall ever be able to say to this
pest, ''Thus far, but no farther"
Experiments to that ent are being
carefully conducted at the institute
OF infectious diseases In Berlin, and
not without strong hope Of success.
The professors OF the institution have
expressed a fluid from the thymus
glands OF calves, and cultivated in it
the cholera microbe-'.the comma
bacillus"
Hypodermic injections of this fluid
into guinea-pigs are found to give rise
to severe general symptoms akin to
those of cholera, from which, how
ever, the pigs recover by the next
day. The symptoms lessen on each
injection. BY the fourth or NTH day
the animals are wholly resistant to the
most violent forms Of the cholera poi
son, being unframed by three times the
quantity which would prove speedily
fatal TO animals which had not been
so treated. Other experiments have
determined the minimum dose that
will protect against injections Of the
most virulent cholera bacilli
At Prof. Koch's suggestion. the
cholera bacillus has been cultivated
also in ordinary pepton-bouillon, and
with similar results Guinea pigs
treated with it are able to bear double
fatal doses Of the cholera bacillus,
while those not so treated die, with
out exception, OF cholera.
So sure are the investigators that
immunity from cholera can be secured
by incubation in the manner stated
above. that at the last accounts they
were about to experiment upon them
selves Companion.

Don't Box the Children's Ears.

Cutting the ears Of children is q
wicked and dangerous practice. The
conclusion of the air in the ear passage
is extremely likely to fracture the
tympanum of the ear aud thus render
the child permanently deaf. Hard
ness Of hearing arising from cold,
catarrh, and other Affections may be
alIeviated and often cured. but when
the drum Of the ear is ruptured Moth
ing whatever can be done There
are many permanently deaf persons
whose affection has been brought on
by boxing the ears, and the practice
should be carefully avoided by par
ents and teachers. There are many
ways OF proper punishment without

Decorations In Brazil.

Among other queer things that the
stranger observes in Brazil are the
vast numbers of decorations-stars
and crosses, etc-which appear to
have been recklessly bestowed often
upon boys OF II and IA years old, who
certainly can have done nothing to
win such distinction.
There is a very large body of ex-
officials in Rio belonging to the de-
cayed aristocrrcy, and most Of them
still sport on all possible occasions
the court dresses and uniforms and
decorations OF past regime. 1t Is
their small sons and grandsons whom
one sees tricked out in tawdry silks
and velvetS with stars and crosses
and miniature crowns pinned OF their
Jackets
These decorations are as likely to
have been obtained by purchase as by
Inheritance. for there used to be a
custom in Brazil under which patents
of nobility, with all its signs and
emblemS could be bought for filthy
lucre, and the rage for them was un-
bounded. The highest OF all the de-
corations was the insignia of the
s1Order of Christ" and at one time
people Of nearly every degree ap
