Monte Carlo. Po.toffiee.

To the student of human nature
there is surely no o fruitful field
of observation than the postoffice at
Monte Carlo, the place that nature
has made into paradise, and that
manly setting up a gigantic gam
bling establishment-has converted
into a pandemonium.
Every day at certain hours may be
seen at the postoffice here "a throng
of anxious looking and haggard men
and women, all victims of the gam
bling horror and all in a feverish
manner waiting to receive letters and
remittances from their friends at
home.
Most of the members Of the wait
ing crowd are undisguisedly anxious,
and if you want to e blank despair
it is when some wretched man stands
aside, there being no letter for him,
and watches more fortunate fellows
TREMENDOUSLY take out the drafts they
have received. Some of the crowd
pretend to a sort of hippancy, but the
writer has seen people celebrated all
the world over waiting decidedly III
at ease.
On the other hand, at the same
postoffice occasional-very occasional
gamblers may be seen sending their
winnings home to their friends lest
the passion for the tables should
again seize upon them, to the loss OF
all they have won.-~New York Jour,

Removing Metal From the Eye.

The use of the electromagnetic for
the removal of particles of iron or
steel from the w is becoming gen
eral, and an oval electrode has been
devised by DR.. Knapp for this pur-
pose. The use of a magnet immedi-
ately after an injury where a chip of
iron or steel has penetrated the in
terror of the eye always gives far
more favorable results as to vision
are on record where large particles
have been removed from the interior
of the eye by the magnet with a
hardly appreciate impairment of the
vision.
Dr.. Knapp recommends that in
large injuries of the eye, where the
presence of a piece of iron or steel
within the eye is suspected, the ply
stefan should not hesitate to insert a
magnet, as inflammation and loss of
the eye will ensue if the foreign sub
stance be allowed to remain. If,
however, the injury shows but a
very small opening through the eye
ball, the intruding substance should
first be located with the ophthalmo-
scope; then the wound through the
eyeball should be carefully enlarged
and the magnet inserted as close to
the particle as possible. In this way.
by cautious manipulation, the sub
| stance may often be removed with
but little subsequent inflammation.

"One of the most peculiar of stone

ACIll IN A
Tuberculosis Transmitted From the Stuny

Tuberculosis Transmitted From the stufy
Factories In the Fragrant Weed.
An interesting paper on the pos
sible transmission of the tubercle ba-
cillus by cigars has appeared in the
''Centralblatt fur Bakteriologie."
DIR. Kerez, in the preface to his ex-
periments, points out that ample op-
portunity is given for the infection
of cigars with ~tuberculous material,
rs SO many people employed in to-
bacco manufactures are known to
suffer from consumption.
The in which the cigars
may become infected is apparent
when it is remembered that by force
of habit and convenience the tobacco
workers prefer to use their saliva for
getting the leaves To adhere i'll cigar
making instead of the materials sup
piled to them for this purpose. In
this way the tubercle bacillus Is east
ly conveyed TO the cigar.
DIR. Kerez has therefore initiated
in every detail on a small scale the
manufacture of cigars. using saliva
containing tubercle bacilli for the
moistening of the leaves. After be
ing dried and packed away in boxes,
cigars preserved for different lengths
of time Were carefully unrolled, the
leaves washed with water and the in
fusion inoculated into guinea pigs.
In all cases where the infected cigars
had only been kept for 10 days the
animals treated with the tobacco in
fusion died of tuberculosis, bat when
the cigars We're kept for longer peri
DDS the animals suffered no i'll effects,
indicating that during this time the
tubercle bacill had either been de
stroyed or deprived of the virulent
character.
As long, therefore, remarks DIR.
Kerez, as the cigars, presuming them
to have been infected in the coNyse
of making, + kept for "a sufficiently
long time in the manufacturers
hands before distribution, this pos
sibility of spreading consumption
may be ignored.-Nature.

Swearing

A gentleman returned from a two
years tour of the world-made with
his eyes and ears open-declares that
the Americans, as a people, T. the
most profane ON the face of the earth.
The English laborer is foul and vul-
gar in his speech, the Irishman in his
own country always apologies to
heaven for taking the Lords name in
vain, but the American swears be
cause ordinary language is all too
weak to express his emotions. Not
only is the adult American profane,
but the boys-and not the street
arabs either-are addicted to profan-
ity, with vulgarity combined, and
they use both IN "A way that shows
utter neglect i'll the home training.
Leaving out the question of reli-
gion, though it Is an error to ignore
it, this traveller claims that profanity
and mendacity go together, and that
no man ever expressed his willing
ness to swear to the truth of a state
ment who was not an ingTained liar.
The habit is vulgar, and its existence
is due to parental neglect.-New York
