EDITOR CAUCASIAN
The evidence that malarial diseases
are introduced into the system, IN
many if not most instances, through
the medium of the drinking-water
is, to nv mind, conclusive. The wa
ter containing the germs or plasmo-
dia is surface or superficial soil wa
ter. Those living in malarlal dis
triots who confne themselves to wa
ter from cisterns or wells driven or
bored beneath the stratum of mari or
impervious clay-in other words, be-
yond the water which soaks do yn
from the surface-are to large ex
tent free from attacks. If the peo-
pie of our eastern counties could be
generally convinced of this fact and
thereby induced to act upon it, the
health conditions of that really fine
section would be revolutionized for
the better. To bring this about is
the object of the Board of Health.
In order to do this facts must be
presented to them in the concrete
not by illustrations from "Asia and
Spasia and t'other side O Hlllsbor-
ough," so to speak, but by instances
from among their own neighbors. l
write to ask if you know any facts
bearing on this subject, and, if SO,
that you will write them to me in
detail at your earliest convenience
Give the name and post-office of the
mead of the family having the exper-
fence. If not personally familiar
with the facts send me the name and
address, that | may write him direct
Your kind and prompt attention
will greatly oblige,
Yours truly,
RICHARD H. LEWIS,
Secretary.
If any of our readers can give DR..
Lewis any information on the line
indicated above, it will be apprecia-
ted by him.-ED. CAUCASIAN

ready condoling with Ferry on the
probable loss of his Hatfield clothes

ance that they always gave Teller

might get his buds back after all, only
they must get Warning first. Jeffers
doubtless would have been besieged
with questions but for Grams fore
sight: his master had ordered him to
accompany him to town.
In silence a second time the little
party rode away, passing the flooded
homestead where lay the murdered
man, then, farther on, gazing in mute
curiosity at the closed shutters of the
premises some infantry satirists had
already christened "the dove-cot.
| What cared they for him or his objec-
tionable helpmate? Still, they could
not but note how gloomy and deserted
it all appeared, with two feet of water
tapping the garden wall Summoned
by his master. letters knuckled his oil
skin hat-brim and pointed out the spot
where Mr.. Warning stood when he
knocked the cabman into the mud, but
! Jeffcrs' tongue was tied and his cock
pey volubility gone The tracks made
by Grams wagon up the slope were al
ready washed out Bending forward
to dodge the binding storm, the party
pushed along the embankment until at

going on to report the tragedy to the
+ police, Cram turning to his right and
! following the broad thoroughfare an
other mile, until LETTERS, indicating q
big, old-fashioned, broad-galleried
southern house standing in the midst
of grounds once trim and handsome,
but now showing signs of neglect and
perjury, simply said: Ere, sir" And
here the party dismounted.
Cram entered the gate and pulled a
Changing bell. The door was almost
instantly opened by colored girl, at
whose side, with eager joyous face, was
the pretty child he had seen SO often
playing about the Lascelles homestead,
and the eager joyous look faded il
stantly away.
''She think it M'sieur Vareeng who
comes to arrive" explained the smiling
colored girl.
"Ah! 1t is Mime. d'Hervilly wish to
see," answered Cram, briefly. "Please
take her my card" And, throwing off
his dripping rain coat and tossing it to
LETTERS, who had followed TO the veran-
da, the captain stepped within the hall
and held forth his hands to Min Min
begging her to come to him who was
SO good a friend of Mr.. Waring. But
she would not. The tears of disap
pointment were in the dark eyes as the
i. little one turned and ran away. Cram
could hear the gentle. soothing tones OF
the mother striving to console her lit
tie one-the one widowed and the 9th Il
orphaned by the tidings he bore. Even
then he noted how musical, how full!
of rich melody, was that soft Creole
voice. And then Nine. d'HeRvilly ap

Trusts Not Dangerous.

Natural laws, after all. are stronger
than the contrivances of man." writes
George A. Rich in The Popular Science
Monthly. 1t is Mr.. Rich's opinion that
the great industrial trusts and monopo-
lies which are favorite form of enter
prise at present do not need laws to pre-
vent them from becoming extortionate
and oppressive. Give them rope enough,
and they will hang themselves, in his
Judgment. That has already proved
true of the Cordage trust, at any rate, he
thinks.
The plan whereby great trust works
its own undoing is as follows: 1t unites
the corporations engaged in the manu-
facture of certain article into one great
company. All join in-the weak and
worthless, with little capital and anti
quated and wornout machinery; the
powerful and prosperous, whose heads
are hustlers and whose plants are up to
date. The whole is capitalized at more
than its market value. A paper value is
thus esta blished, on the whole of which,
to make things look just right, divi-
dend of or 8 per cent a year must be
paid.
Perhaps the corporation succeeds for
a number of years in paying this. l.
gets the name of being powerful and
rich company and Of making great re-
turns on its original investments. CAP
ital looking for investment surveys its
field and finds good opening for rival
company manufacturing the same arti-
Gle. The rivals enter the field with new
machinery and carry no dead weight Of
old fashioned methods or old fogy men.
They have the advantage i'll that. they
can utilize every dollar of their capital,
and thus the old trust is brought to
grief. It may be again that the old
trust puts up its staple to an extortion-
ate price and fieeces the public. In thi;
case, as in the other, rival companie5
start and correct the first one. This was
the reason for the downfall of the great
copper syndicate in France and Amer
| lea, second in its disastrous results only
to the Panama scandal itself.
The law is inevitable. Enormous prof
its lead to the establishment of additional
Independent plants. Mr.. Rich reminds
us that, powerful as the American Sugar
Refining company is, it has never been
| able to control the market for any length
| of time,

A Model Man.

OF course women like good men, but
they don't like prigs. One bright girl
was entertaining another with the de-
scription of young man who lived next
door. He seemed model. He never
smoked, played cards, staid out late,
talked back 10 his mother, told a lie or
said a swear word in all his life.
''Now, what do you think of a young
man like that?' cried the, first, bright
girl, with the expression of one who has
played the zee of trumps.
II thinl, +" said the second bright girl
slowly and solenlnly, that he must have
liver complaint and have it badly. y

SAINT JOHN, N. b.,
December Is, 1892.
GENTLEMEN
Our daughter, twelve years old,
has always been sick from weakness
of the stomach and limbs; pain
across her back, and general de-
bility have kept her from school.
We could not get help for her from
the several doctors whom we tried.
The countless medicines we bought
gave her no benefit. Her appetite
never was good; all she ate was
few mouthfuls Of graham bread at
meal, Last summer we lost Az
hope, for we were afraid OF her
dying of consumption. Six weeks
ago she could not walk two hun
dred yards without getting very
tired. Now she can walk to the
city, two miles, and back, without
the least WEAKNESS; her appetite is
such, she relishes anything hearty
man would wish to eat. For the
first time in her life she knows
what health is.
The mother says, For twenty-five
years have had severe sick head
aches. Nothing ever eased them
until used
Croder's Syrup,
which has wrought a permanent
cure. No less than six physicians,
and medicines without number, have
failed to help me. ii
The father speaks: / have had
dyspepsia almost ever since can
remember. Of course I was better
sometimes than others, but l have
always suffered with vomiting, dis
tress in the stomach and bowels,
dizziness, and habitual constipation
until / used Groder's Syrup, which
has cleared my head, given me q
good appetite, and my food does
not distress me. Our statements are
all true, and am ready to answer
questions concerning them.

Shortly before nine o'clock he be-

teaspoon with what he supposed
to be a tonic, and took it.
The liquid proved TO be carbolic
acid, and the old gentlem an was
horribly burned. DR.. Russell CAT
ferry was hurriedly summoned, and
administered proper medicines,
and after working some time with
his patient, the suffering man inn
proved and is now out 'of danger.

His Draft Not Honored.

w. E. Baxter is travelling man
who has made frequent visits to
San Antonio, representing the
Plymouth Rock Pants company Of
Boston. During his last stay here
he called on l.. F. Meyer and asked
him to cash a draft for $24.25.
Thinking Baxter was honest, he
complied with his request. Mr..
Meyer then sent the draft to Chi
cago house with which he does
business. The Chicago firm pre-
sented the paper to the branch
house of the Pants company in
that city, and payment was re-
fused, the manager stating that it
was the second draft received from
San Antonio that Baxter had made
out. How the matter will develop
is unknown. Baxter is not in the
city.
