THE FAINT THAT FAILED.

When the tall man slipped down on
the ice ia front of the drug store, and
lay there apparently in a faint, a
crowd quickly gathered.
Everybody with advice on hand
took it ont and proffered it. Then a
man ran hastily into the drug store,
as hastily reappeared with a glass in
his hand and kneeled down by the
fallen stranger.
"What is itP" whispered the
stranger, feebly lifting his head.
Water" said the man with the
glass.
The fallen stranger rose TO his feet
and stalked Indignantly away.
"Ihis is a one-horse town, any way"
he hissed between his set teeth. Be

Potatoes as Penholders.

"It is surprising" says a CONNER
cial traveller, show general the use of
potatoes as penholders is becoming
in hotels. l have seen them in use
in great hostelries of the East, whose
owners wouldn't hesitate for moment
to spend $40 for a desk ornament to
hold pens used by the guests in reg
istering. The mixture OF starch, glu-
cose and water in the potato seems
we'll adapted to take up the inpufi-
ties of ink, and to keep the pen-point
clear and bright, while the alkaloid
of the potato, known as solanine,
doubtless has something to do with it
in the same line. These elements
readily take up the tennate of iron,
which is the body substance OF ink.
Chemically speaking, starch is the
first base of a potato, and sugar or
glucose is its second base. Thus is
the humble potato finding another
way in which to serve the use of man
kind. There is rather pleasing sug-
gestiveness in a big ten-inch potato
when a fellow comes in tired and
hungry from long run. New York

pistil is receptive. Plum crops often

The vaunted protection of the seals
in Alaskan water is a myth, in the
opinion of the New York Mail and Ex-
press. Secretary Carlisle reports that
12l ,143 were killed'by pelagic seaiers
last year. This statement has caused
a suggestion to be made in Congress
that the Government undertake the
slaughter of the remaining seals, esti-
mated to number $50, 900, and sell the
skins. which would be valued at S10,- =
100000 if properly cured 1t is
strange that the two greatest Govern
ments in the world cannot protect the
seals. Possibly there is some reason
not apparent on tho surface why this
is SO.

DIR. Chauncey NJ. Depew in recent
interview in predicting 1S95's pro-
gress in railroading, very pertinently
stated: "Take, for instance, the New
Xesk Central Railroad. Our trains
might almost be termed flashes of
lightning, but their rate is not cir
cumstanee to the speed we are now
aiming at Then there is the matter
of safety. 1 need not assure you that
the safety of passengers is the most
important thing railroad man has to
with. This coming year We expect to
attain what some people may consider
a chimera-namely, perfect freedom
from risk in the transportation of hu-
man beings by rail. We have, we be-
lieve, solved the problem, and that, I
should say, viii make 1895 an un-
equaled year in railroading. In the
far as in the near future, romantic
things are done, or are being pro-
jected. A tunnel to the summit of
the Jungfrau is one of the things pos
sible. The Trans-Siberian Railway
and the South African line to Mashon-
aland are two projects on the edge of
the future-the former already under
way-and the poetry Of railroading
will be experienced in the new rush OF
railroad building certain to ensue in
Japan when the Chinese war indemnity
is paid-which will certainly happen
in 1885,"

IiERERnrErnSIS

There has long been a decided suspi-
 cion that tuberculosis can be transmit
 ted to human beings through the milk
 of cows or through tuberculous beef.
 This suspicion will be much strength
 ened by the report of the trustees of the
 Massachusetts society for promoting
 agriculture, who have been investigat-
 ing the effect of tuberculosis upon the
 milk of cows for several years at the Forest HiMs experiment station near Boston
 Of the suspected animals examined the milk of 33 was found to contain bac- illi and this was given to healthy ani- mals Of 4S rabbits tried positive re- suits were obtained in only 2; of 12 guinea pigs nearly one-half developed the disease, and of 21 calves one-third.
 The inquiry of the trustees covers IF States and the replies of 39 veterinarl- ans who have examined 5000 cows in 165 herds show that an average of IS per cent, were afflicted with tuberculo- sis. The disease prevails most in the eastern States, few cases being reported from the South and West. Letters were written to 1013 physicians inquiring if they knew of a case of tuberculosis traceable to the use of milk. Eight hundred and ninety-three answered no; 15 were not practicing; 61 did not an swer; 9 expressed disbelief in the pos sibility of such transmission of disease; 8 reported positive cases of mother to child; Il from cows milk to child; and Is reported suspicious cases,
 Right in the face of this report, which they probably haven't heard of, some wocdchoppers at work in town in western Massachusetts have undertaken to substitute tubercu- | lous beef for sound beef in their bill of | fare, in order that they may save mon | ey and at the same time demonstrate | that the beef of consumptive cows is harmless to the human consumer. This experiment will delight Dr. Dibble and If it turns out well will furnish him some useful material To make the ex- pertinent thoroughly interesting they should eat the meat raw. It is quite possible that if they did they would survive 1t. French Canadian wood choppers are hardy fellows, and they 'an safely eat almost anything that is ,atable.

GLORY, SPLEND0R AND BEA AUTY.
 Glory and splendor and beauty on the
 stage at the Hyperion last evening, and
 glory and splendor and beauty in the
 audience. Nobody knows how glorious
 and splendid and beautiful the women
 of New Haven are until they see them
 at the theatre with small hats or no
 hats on their sleek and fuzzy heads
 All could see the Brownies and the
 Fairies on the stage last evening, and
 when they wanted to rest their eyes
 they could do so by looking at the fair ies in the seats. Oh, such silks and
 satins Oh, such graceful and aristo- cratic necks! Oh, such pretty little heads! And thrice oh such pretty little hats! What politeness and considera- tion! What regard for the convenience and the rights of others Surely it is time to put that other "e" in New Ha- ven and make it New Heaven Talk about the blacB-eyed houris who form the chief felicity of the faithful in the Mohammedan Paradisel They are not in 1t with the women of New Haven who like the sun, shine on both the faithful and the unfaithful, and make the city Paradise, even without a new charter. Beautiful both by nature and by art they need no law to make them gracious. We therefore move that if the bill to down the theatre hat finds favor in the legis- lature the women of New Haven be ex- presslH' exempted from its provisions and cited as ensamples for the rest of the women of the State. It were an in- suit now to tell them to do by law what they have already done out of the abun dance of their hearts. Blessings on their heads and also on their theatre n te
