TENACITY OF GERMS.
How an ola Lady aud Her Little Shawl
Carried Death with Them.


The tenacity and virility of smallpox
germs are to the medical fraternity
one Of the wonders Of contagion, and
were never made apparent so start
lingly as few years ago in the little
village of Hector, this state, says the
New York Sun. This is an isolated
place, being at the time OF the smallpox
epidemic there twenty miles from any
railroad, and its people rarely trav-
eled far from home, and few strang-
ers were visitors there. Early in the fall
smallpox broke out in the village. The
disease was not known 10 be anywhere
in the vicinity. How it happened to
appear there wars mystery that re-
NAMED unsolved for months, but was
at last cleared up through the investi-
CATION and inquiry of DR.. Purdy of
Elmira.
DR.. Purdy learned that one day in
the winter preceding the breaking out
OF smallpox in Hector a passenger on
an Erie railway train was taken vio-
lently i'll just after leaving Salamanca,
end physician who was on board the
train discovered that the passenger
had the smallpox. When this be-
came known the other passengers in
the car hurriedly left it for another
one. The car containing the smallpox
victim was placed on u siding when
the train reached Hornellsville, who're
it was quarantined.
Among the passengers who left the
car when the case was made known
was an old lady who had a ticket for
Elmira. Her scat had been the one
behind the one where tho man with
the smallpox sat. She had with her
hung on the back of the seat ahead Of
her. When she left the train at
Elmira she placed the shawl in her
hand satchel At Elmira she took a
Northern Central train for Watkins,
the nearest station to Hector, to which
place she was going on a visit to her
sons family. She remained there I'M
Ill the following fall. when she was
driven by her son to visit another son
some miles distant. The day was ex-
tremelv cold, and her sons ears being
in danger OF freezing she took the
shoulder shawl from her satchel,
where it had been ever since she put
it away on leaving the Erie train at
Elm ra the previous winter, and
wrapped il about his head.
A few days after the son returned
home TO Hector he became violently
III. Before it was known what his
ailmcnt was he was visited by various
neighbors. Then his disease was pro-
nounced smallpox, and it was such a
malignant case that he died within a
few days. The disease / e cpl
demic and was not ercAi ! until
the following summer. Every family
in the village and immediate vicinity
lost at least one member by the dis
ease. That the first case originated
from the germs collected by the shawl
in the railroad car near Salamanca
months before there can be no doubt.

CURE FOR sLEsPLEssNsss.
Victims OF Insomnia Can Hypnotize
Themselves into Slumoer.

l have a way OF putting myself to
sleep that has never failed. But, OF
course, you wont pay any attention
to it because it's so simple. However,
here it is:
Iclo,e my eyes lightly, and then
gently and gradually direct them up
ward, as if ! wanted to look into tue
the interior of my own skull. The
movement must be gentle and gradual
or the sudden strain on the nerves
will give you u headache, and some
times there may be some slight dis
comfort on the first two or three
trials, but it wears off rapidly.
Afteryou have retained your eyes in
that position for few moments you
feel yourself losing consciousness of
time and place and sl,SIy slipping,
with delightful smoothncss and n
kind Of dreamy softness, out of the
present. / invariably have the one
sensation, that OF floating in boat
on gently rocking pillows that are
moving easily away, says writer in
the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The process is really kind of self
hypnotism, and while you are per-
forming it your mind is unable to
take up any thread OF thought or
memory or present to itself any pict-
ure other than the one the process
itself supplies. 1t is very singular
thing, and find that nearly all my
acquaintance can repeat after me the
sell-hypnotic movement.

The MlIkman in the English Courts.

The Mllkman in the English Courts.
Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, of Eng
land, and Mr.. Justice Wright have
just given a decision of almost equal
interest to the sellers and the consum-
ers OF milk. A certain milkman was
arrested for selling milk which did not
contain it's legal proportion OF cream.
He said that it was no fault of his.
The milk complained of happened to
be taken from the bottom of n can,
and was, OF course, inferior to that
which had been taken from the top,
brcause the natural endency OF cream
was to rise. TO ask h.m to interfere
with the natural action of milk wAs
prpposterous. The MAGISTRATE took
this view of the case and DISCHARGED
the prisoner. An appeal was taken,
and Jaet.ce Coleridge holds that the
Magistrate was wyong. 1t did not
matter, he said, whether the defend
ant had doctored his milk or not.
The important point was that he had
taken money for something which was
not what it pretended to he, or what
the law required should be. II the
milk deteriorated from natural or
other causes, be had no right to sell il
as the perfect article. This lesson in
common honesty and common sense
will be impressed upon the memory of
the offender by a fine, to say nothing
Of legal costs.
