THE medical colleges OF New York
are considering plan to provide
bedside instruction in contagious
diseases, 50 that fresh graduates may
be better able TO recognize at sight
such diseases as measles, scarlet
fever, small poy, typhus, etc. DR..
Shady tells an amusing story 10 H.
lustrate the necessity OF this-in
which he recalls how the child's
grandmother helped him make his
first diagnosis OF case OF measles,
and what a narrow escape he had
from being detected in taking his di-
agnOsis from the grandmother.

A most interesting experiment is
about to be tried in Massachusetts.
With the consent of the Governor
and his Council, the warden of the
State Prison at Charleston has released
on parole a prisoner who has served
five years of a twenty-five years SEN
tence under the Habitual Criminal act.
This is new thing in the Common
wealth, says the New York Tribune.
The man secures his parole under
strict conditions, such as that he must
not lead an idle or dissolute life, nor
visit any barroom, gambling. house or
vile resort, nor associate with persons
of bad character, and that he must
lead an upright, industrious and law
abiding life. III he violates the con-
ditions he will be returned to the
prison TO serve out the full remainder
Of his sentence.

Women who want to marry should
turn their eyes towards Johannasville,
South Africa, thinks the New York
sun. There are ut least ten men TO
one woman there. Every moderately
attractive woman marries inside of u
few MONTHS after landing. IL is i'm
possible to keep servants or feminine
employees of any sort. Typewriters,
nurses, cooks, maids, gardeners all
melt quickly away before the warmth
Of South African wooing.

A Fiddle-Playing Crab.

A most curious fact TO note As one
studies the lower animals, is the
manner in which ley are provided
with means OF protection. DIR. AL
cock has specially observed the red
crab which inhabits the sandy shores
or India. The bigger Of its two nip
pers, SAYS he, bears across the palm
long, finely-toothed ridge, and on
one OF the basal joints OF the arm"
against which the palm" can be
tightly closed, there is a second
similar ridge. When the palm" is
so folded against the base OF the
arm" the first ridge can be worked
across the second like bow across a
fiddle, only in this case the bow is
several times larger than the fiddle.
And now as TO the way these crabs
play their tiddles. A roDber crab
enters the burrow Of another. When
the rightful owner discovers the in
truder, he utters few broken tones
OF remonstrance. on hearing which
the intruder, IL permitted, will at
once leave the burrow. Ii the in
truder be prevented from making his
escape, the low and broken tones OF
the rightful owner gradually rise in
loudness and shrillness and frequency
until they become a continuous low
pitched whlr or high-pitched growl,
the burrow acting as a resonator.

How BusineS Has Increased There Don.
ing Recent Years.
The proprietor Of a Broadway soda
fountain states some facts TO show
the tiourishing state OF the mineral
and soda water business in this city.
When / opened my fountain
twelve years ago" he said, "the sale
OF these waters was very small part
OF my business as druggist Most
OF my custome were men, and at
that time l had little or no cali for
the sweet decoctions that have since
tecome so popular. / also sold as
waters as did the manufactured
ones. Now the consumption OF the
latter far exceeds them"
'Do you mean that the profits de-
rived from the fountain are greater
than your profits from the sale OF
drugs?
That is the fact"
sis the percentage of such profits
higher than that in the case Of drugs
and prescriptions?
"The profit on prescriptions is from
~ 10 pO per cent, altn0ugh tnere are
some medicines from which we can
make as high as so per cent, and
even more. The percentage on min
eral waters is larger. What L call the
five cent waters are those, too, from
which the seller ge's mis- principal
revenue in the line Of mineral
drinks.
"Of all these cheap waters which
is the favorite?"
"Vichy leads the list L probably
sell two glasses Of IL to one OF any
other kind"
"You speak of sweet decoctions.
Do they find bettef sale than the
mineral waters?"
They are to-day the best part OF
the business. ice cream soda with
the different fiavOrings, is the most
popular drink, and there is more
money in it, for i make my own
cream"
Compared with the sales at a god
stand twelve years ago, how is the
business today"
Il should say that IL is from six TO
eight times better. New York

In many New York houses the ar
rival or departure of II guest is music
ally announced by small Bolian
harp securely fastened inside to the
top of the front door. The harps are
about twenty inches square, finished
in either mahogany, or white and
gold. They vibrate for period, de-
pending on the force used in opening
or shutting the door, and probably
when it is slammed to shut out the
persistent canvasser, with the force
generally used in such cases, it would
dispense music to sweeten the rufiied
inmates for period of ten minutes.

Longest Leap on Record.

The Arabian is unQuestionably good

other division OF the fields, one can
scarcely expect horse TO jump
There is, however, a jump recorded
to have been taken by one Ragh-Ap

massacre OF the MamelukeS, which in
these days of prize jumping is GER
tainly worth notice, whether cred

4 New Fruit Crate.

A new fruit crate invented in Cali
fornia is thus described Dy the San
Francisco Chronicle: In using these
fruit carriers no skilled labor, no
paper wrapping is needed. Each
tier in the crate carries at least four
self fcontained pasteboard boxes.
These boxes are closed over top and
bottom. The lower portion is per-
forated and the upper portion is not
only perforated. but there are from
four TO six circular or oval depressions
which are slit radially so that the
wedged- shaped pieces OF cardboard
hold the fruit as soon As IL Is gently
pressed into place. By thus keeping
each pear, apricot, peach, orange,
lemon, apple, etc, in a depression OF
its own bruising is impossible, and no
amount OF shaking can displace the
fruit Between each tier OF boxes
there is thin perforated cardboard
tray, so that the air can circulate all
around each piece OF fruit IN each
carrier as we'll as though IL hung on
the tree. The depressions which re-
ceive the fruit being OF different
sizes, the fruit is graded at once ac-
cording 10 the carrier IL fits The
upper surface OF each box can be
decorated for use In retail trade, and
for foreign markets this is essential,
as the package Itself must be attract

be. The pastetoard box is of such
size that IL makes a nea. parcel

WINCHEssTERs and reyolverS in the
hands Of all passenger train crews
running out OF Chicago will, it is safe
TO say, have depressing effect upon
the train robbing industry. The
railroad officers have adopted the
right course Their action in in
structing the trainmen To be mercful
and to wound with buckshot rather
than TO kill with bullets is, however,
open to question. The train robber
extends no such consideration to the
railroad employe He shoots TO kill
every time. Reciprocity in this mat
ter is advisable, and il may be taken
for granted that the trainmen, when
they come TO close quarters with the
bandits, will not observe the merci-
ful injunction too closely. Ii they
are wise they will blaze away as long
as they have ammunition and defer
any charitable proceedings until the
train robbers are laid out in neat
row alongside the track. That plan
OF operations will do much to cheek
the epidemic of "hold-ups."
