fterD IN A BOX GAR
A Buffalo Man Six Days With
 out Food or Water.
WAS UNCONSCIOUS WHEN FOUND

John Driscon While Intoxicated Got i'm
 the Car te Rest and is Taken Out in
 Pittsburg fin Q Serious COnditiOn-WiL
 Probably Recover.
 PrrTsBuRe, April 12.-Muffled moans and cries coming from freight car stand ing on a siding on the Allegheny Valley railroad at Thirty fourth street, attracted the attention of several railroad employees in the early morning Hurriedly opening the car the form of a man was discovered stretched full length on the floor of the car He was moaning piteously and feebly rolled from side to side. The man was entirely unconscious and presented a ghastly ap- pearance.
 He was carried to an adjoining building and . physician was summoned. The physician's examination brought to light the fact that the man was in the last stages of starvation. Restoratives were applied and gradually the sufferer returned to con sciousness. He was very weak, but from his broken sentences it was gathered that his name was John Driscol and that his home was in Buffalo.
 Last Wednesday night, while partially under the influence of liquor, he crawled into an empty car intending to pass the night in it's shelter. During the night the car was locked and started for Pittsburg. How long he slept Driscon cannot say, but says he was deathly sick and soon lost con sciousness and knew nothing further until he awoke to find himself surrounded by the trainmen and lying in the yard shed.
 According to his story he had been with out food or drink for IA hours. Driscoll said that he had brother in Pittsburg by the name ot Michael Driscoll and word was at once sent to him of his brothers con dition. He at once had John taken to his home. Dr. McCready says that the mans condition is serious, but not dangerous, and that with careful nursing he may hope to be around in a week or so

Too Muoh of a dood Thlne.

It hardly seems possible that one can ever get too much of Q good thing, but, as related by a contemporary, an Amer lean farmer has discovered, to his sor- row, that such thing can happen. He started in to dig we'll little while ago, needing a greater supply of water than he had, and in the course of his digging, he struck a flowing stream, which flushed out and overhowed part of his farm. The flow of water still continues at the rate of eight barrels 8 minute, and up to the present has shown no evidence that it ever intends to stop. The farmer is very anxious about it, as he much prefers owning 3 farm to the privilege of sitting upon the borders of a lake that is entirely his own. If the supply continues he may have to give up raising vegetables and poultry and go into the fish or sum mer-resort business. This Is a case where all is not we'll that ends we'll, and where it would have been well to
 let we'll enough alone"

COWS CAUSE CONSUMPTION.
Where MILK Is Not Used the Disease Is
 Said Not to Occur.

Where MILK Is Not Used the Disease Is
 Said Not to Occur.
 "Consumption is the result of drink ing cows milk" Rather a sensational statement this, when it stands alone and is unqualified. Yet it comes from an authoritative source, and is meant to stand alone and unqualified. Dr. Charles A. McQueston, secretary of the United States board of examining sur geons, and a wcll-known practicing physician of this city, is the authority. He made this statement, and then fol- lowed it with yet stronger statements.
 "I mean exactly what I say; no more no less. The primary cause of consump- tion is the drinking of cows milk. Of course don't mean to say that every single case of phthisis is attributable to the patients having imbibed in fected cows milk-though even so strong a statement as that is very nearly true but do mean to say that if the American people stopped using COWS milk and butter and cheese made from COWS milk, tubercular consump- ton would soon disappear.
 Let me put it another way In countries where cows milk is not used tubercular consumption is not known The scientific world is awakening to this fact, and soon we may expect a more rigid inspection of our daily milk supply. But I must say it is taking us an unconscionab ble long time to discover this simple truth. And the proof is right at hand and unmistakably plain.
 "In China there is no milk consumed d and consumption is almost an un- known quantity. Take the steppes of Asiatic Russia. Only goats and mares | milk is used here. Cons equently there is no consumption. Goats and horses are free from this scourage of civili- zation, and those who use their milk have yet to know the terrors of phthisis. The same condition is, or was until re- | gently, true of the South sea islands. No cows, no tubercular disease.
 '"Tale the North American Indians before the white man brought his whis. ky and his cows among them. They had no word in their language that corresponded with consumption. of course, in our day, doubtless a few cases of phthisis are produced by the person inhaling the dried sputa o1
 ! consumptive, and it may be true that | some cases are inherited. But the great ause. and the first cause, is the use ot ' .ows' milk as food. San Francisco ' all.

AN inquirer, who appears to be anxious to serve his country, desires to be informed of the salaries attached to some of the consulates which, he under stands, are at the disposal of the new administration. says the Boston Herald The salaries vary, according to the To- cations of the various posts and the importance of the duties attached to them. We cannot undertake to give them in detail, but we can assure our correspondent that man of ordinary attachments can earn better salary and more happiness by staying in this country and engaging in some private occupation. Consulships, as rule, are poor berths for those whose future is not behind them.

Mosr persons, save those who have had in childhood the advantage of kin dergarten teaching, are curiously ig- norant of colors, not through color blindness, but from never having been taught to distinguish and name various shades and tints of primary colors. The name vermillion carries no distinct i'm precision to the great mass of people, and the same is true of other names used to designate variations of primary colors. It thus happens that poetry often means nothing to such persons, since the names for colors used by the poet convey to the reader no distinct picture

ONE hears a good deal of the big trees of the northwest. but the fact is that all vegetation there is luxuriant beyond the belief of the eastern man. There are Douglas frs in Washington and for some distance north of that which are honestly said to be as tall as the Brook lyn bridge towers. Planks from these trees, sixteen feet wide, have been ex- hibited, and straight mast one hun dred and twenty-five feet long, un- marked by branches, was cut on the shore of Puget sound. Common road side weeds and bushes have a propor- tionate largeness, their leaves being twice as big and their stems twice as long as in the east, and the ordinary fern that in other states grows knee high is found there with stalks seven feel long,

ALONG with the announcement that the Austrian war department has in vented a cloth for soldiers uniforms that is bullet proof, comes the state ment that German war authorities have discovered a more powerful explosive. This would send a bullet so much swifter than powder that the new uni form would offer no protection. The human mind is prying into every branch and avenue of discovery, so that it is not possible to hope to gain ad' vantage in one line over another.

A PROMINENT physician says that the average cook is absolutely ignorant of sanitary cause and effect and that the kitchen processes are sources of illness more often than is imagined by placing milk. jelly, butter and other absorbents in the open air without covering them up. If a medical man wants to secure organisms for investigation he will ex- pose gelatine to the air where malig- nant germs are confined, and the gela- tine quickly at tets and holds them, which is the same thing that the food will do.

THE great organ for festival hall at the Worlds fair will be a wonderful piece of workmanship. It will have 4,014 pipes and 63 speaking stops, not so many as there are in the organ of the Chicago auditorium, but in respect to power the Worlds fair organ will be superior, "being voiced and put on as high a wind pressure as the pipes will permit" In the matter of room the builders have not been stinted, which was the case when they constructed the auditorium organ. Sightseers will have access to all parts of the festival hall in. strument. The echo organ will be placed at the extreme end of the hall, and will be operated by 300 feet oi electric cable. Marvellous effects will be possible between the main and echo organs. The performer can be playing on the greater instrument and in an in stant carry his listeners to the further end of the building. Diminuendoes can be made to die away effectively with the aid of the echo organ. The pipes are to be elaborately decorated and SUD- ported by female figures. The height of the case will be thirty y-eiget feet, the depth twenty y-fve,,, and. width thirty four. The wind pressure will be sup piled by electricity.

NEGRO graves in the far south are sometimes curiously garnished with the bottles of medicine used by the departed in their final illness, and the duration of the malady is easily guessed by the number of bottles. Often these are the only things to mark the mound, and everything about the graveyard bears the marks of the haste characteristic of a superstitious people in all matters concerning the dead.
