Contaeiou, Disease~.

Medical experts have long known
that people who habitually live in the
undrained. filthy parts OF towns sue
cumb very easily to all the contagious
diseases; and DR.. Alessi set himself to
endeavor TO fathom the cause. He ex-
perimented BY exposing animals to
the action of putrefactive gases, such
as are the inevita BILE products of decay
ing filth, and then inoculating them
with the typhoid bacillus, at the same
time inoculating normal animals.
Those who had breathed the putre-
factive gases were dead at the end of
thirty-six or forty-eight hours, of I'M
mistakable typhoid, while the same
dose OF typhoid bacilli had no effect
upon most Of the control" animals;
OF these one died; but II was notable
that while the animals were expert
mentally inhaling bad air they con-
tinued TO eat well, but lost all their
liveliness, and gradually pinned. This
helps to explain that condition of
"never quite well"-ness that affects
too many, especially women, whose
duties keep thcm confined to one spot,
whether that spot Is sanitary or other
wise. -Boston Budget

Pecuiiarities ola Greek ON the Divide "a
Yellowstone Park.

PecuIiarities ola Irrek on the Divide In
Yellowstone Park.
The Yellowstone park abounds with
wonders, but one OF which little has
been published Is section ~ the park
which has recently become the study
of scientists; II Is 1.-Two Ocean pass"
Here is n stream of water which flows
in two directions This spot is the sub
jcct ofan interesting article by Barton
W. Evermann of the United States fish
commission. lie says:
Many years ago the famous old
guide. Jim Bridger, told his incredu-
lous friends that he had found. on the
divide west OF the upper Yellowstone,
n creek which flowed in both direc-
tions-one end flowing east in the yell
lowstone, the other west into Snake
river. But. us he also told about many
other strange aud to them impossible
things which he had seen-among
which were glass mountain, and
river which ran down hill so fast that
the water was made boiling hot-they
were not disposed TO acknowledge the
existence of his 1.-TWO Ocean creek"
Subsequent events vindicated Bridger.
Atlantic creek was found TO have
two forks entering the pass At the
north end of low, square meadow Is
u small wooded canyon, down which
flows the north fork. This stream
hugs the border Of the fiat very close
". The south fork comes down the
canyon on the south side, slsirting the
brow OF the hill a little less closely
than does the north fork. The two,
coming together near the middle of
the eastern border OF the meadow,
form Atlantic creek, which, after a
course of few miles, flows into the
upper Yellowstone. But the remark
able phenomena exhibited here remain
TO be described.
Each fork of Atlantic creek, just af-
ter entering the meadow, divides rs II
to flow around an island, but the stream
toward the meadow, instead OF return
ing TO the portion from which II had
parted. continues its westerly course
across the meadow. Just before reach
ing the western border the two streams
unite. and then pour their combined
water into Pacific creek; thus are At
lantic and Pacific creeks united, and n
continuous waterway from the mouth
of the Column bin, vim Two Ocean pass,
to the gulf of Mexico is established.
Two Ocean creek is not myth, but n
verify, and Jim Bridger is indicated.
We stood upon the bank Of either fork
of Atlantic creek just above the place

A LIVELY CORPSE.

While at Baxter the morning after
the storm we learned that our old
friend, Col. Gibbons. had dropped
dead the evening before. We drove
TO his house to get the particulars
Of the sad affair. Near the house
we saw several men ut work repair
ing the fences and overseeing the
work was the deceased Col. Glib
bons. We took il for granted that
he was dead and was simply walk
ing about to save funeral expenses.
After viewing the body a moment
we concluded to interview il and
pulling out our note book, said:
"Now, colonel, tell us all about it.
When did you die: where did you
die?" why did you die: where did
you go when you died: who did you

Sam Hill are you talking about!

know you are. Some of the best
people in Baxter told me SO"
WELL" said he, "can't you believe
your own cyesf"
NO, sir; not against the word of
such people. You are dead, and il
you persist in attempting TO make
il appear that the assertion, all
men are liars applies especially 10
Baxter people, l will have you ar
rested for defamation of character.
You are dead, sir; dead as n mack
erel, and nothing you may say or
do can convince me to the contrary,
sir"
He gave us one of those early day
Baxter looks and the next instant
we were out of the buggy into a
post hole, and the last words we
heard the corpse say were: 81
reckon I've got him packed so that
he won't spoil until he admits that
am about the liveliest corpse he
has seen for many n day."
Billy Post of the Galena Post be-
ing posted on such postures seized
a post-hole nuger and in post haste
bored us out of the predicament.
As he hauled us out he said: "Wel-
dy, don't believe those Baxter fell
lows told the truth" We simply
replied; II am sorry" and Billy
doesn't know whether we are sorry
for what we said; sorry the colonel
was alive or sorry those Baxter fell
lows are liars.-Galena Republican,

SNAKE BITES.
How They Are Cured In Far-On South
Africa.

How They Are Cured In Far-On South
Africa.
The following extraordinary "cure
of snake bite" comes to us through a
south African newspaper under the
narrator's full name, as fact: A
Kaffir servant accompanying party
"trekking" (traveling) was bitten by
venomous snake, a yellow cobra, and
when found was commencing TO get
into comatose state. As the only re-
course, as the party were without
medicines. antidotes or brandy. Hot
tentot shepherd and snake doctor was
fetched to the patient This Is how the
physician Is described: "A man Of APP
parently between ffty-fve and sixty
years Of age, face repulsive in the ex-
treme (Hottcntots are proverbially not
Adonis-lilse). wearing pair of coriu-
roy trousers and on his head dirty
linen cap"-mark the linen cap! When
called to the patient he prescribed,
and an hour afterwards he was rs
sound as ever. The process OF the
"cure" is thus described: The doc
tor" was In the habit Of extracting
and drinking the venom OF the snakes
which he captured. 1t intoxicated
him. lie would then sleep of the
effects. His cap was never off his
head. The poison in his system W Guild
work itself into the cap whenever he
exerted himself and became heated-in
the same way Us perspiration en-
udes and soils the leathcrn band
of the billycock Of civiliza-
ton. The cap was saturated to
much an extent by the venom
that whenever snake bit him 1t had
not the least effect. lie imbibed the
poison thrice a week. One cap lasted
him n year, some times longer, after
which it was carefully hung up in his
hut, and another head-piece. which he
manufactured himself donned in its
stead. When he wished to cure any
one bitten by snake, all he did was
TO take cup OF boiling water, and
after cutting piece from the cap,soak
II in the boiling water. rub and squeeze
II until the water was discolorei in
proportion, and then give the liquid
decoction to the patient to drink, fore
ing 1t down his throat. The cure was
invariably effective. Such is the story,
but whether our readers will believe
It is quite another question.
The same narrator tells Of n friend
who cured himself by a particularly
intrepid means. lie says: II have
heard OF a fellow who was bitten in
the left arm by a very poisonous snake
in Natal. named mamba, while out
shooting near Pietermaritzburg. He
was quite alone, not a house within
two miles OF him, where he could OBJ
tain medical treatment or any assist
ance whatever. lie knew that he had
hut short while to live, unless he
could devise some means of Kidding
himself Of the poison. What do you
suppose he did? With his knife he
hacked and slashed the wound until 1t

powder into the afflicted place and set
