THE END.
Boards and IBacteria,

The bacteriology of the beard has not
yet, SO far as we are aware, been ex-
haustively studied. This might be q
new world fog one Of our young Alex
anders of pathology to conquer. That it
is possible that disease can be carried in
the manner suggested will hardly be
denied, but We cannot say that we think
the danger SO great that doctors need
sacrifice their boards ON the altar of
hygiene. Most will think even the care
full sterilization Of the beard ON leaving
a sickroom q counsel of perfection. If
the scrupulous hygienist thinks such a
precaution necessary. he should be con-
sistent and insist ON doctors shaving
their heads and even their eyebrows
How would our professional sisters like
this? To live in the odor Of antiseptic
sanctity We should, after due purifica-
tion. clothe ourselves in cotton wool,
wrap our heads in sterilized gauze and

groan fell ON his ears. The next mo-

loud, and those behind dragged him
back to the pure air.
When Marston recovered from his
temporary stupor, he cried excitedly:
Jack Kendall is alive! heard him
groaning. We must save him. One of
you men ascend the shaft and fetch a
doctor in readiness. Now, lads. some of
you lend me a scarf to tie round my

He wrapped the woolen muffler around
his head and face. Then he plunged
into the darkness of the gas flooded
brow. This time he ran along at swift
pace, and the others had a difficulty to
keep pace with him. Now and again
the rope spun through their fingers, but
they did not lose it altogether.
In a little space Marston was in the
very heart Of the gas again, and once
more the deadly vapor was threatening
to drown his senses. But he crept along,
with his face almost touching the floor,
and foot by foot made his way toward
the slowly dying man whose deep hoarse
gurglings all could hear.
At last Marston felt that he could 60

a top, his senses were leaving him, and
the unconscious man was only couple
Of yards away. With one last effort of
the will he flung himself forward, care
less of everything, and falling prone
and half senseless his fingers gripped
Jack Kendal's PROSTATE form.
He remembered no more. When he
came to his reason, he was at the bottom
Of the gas filled gallery, and the rescued
fireman was lying. senseless and inert
heap, in a small wagon. Whether Jack
would live or die no one could tell yet.
But they rushed away with him toward
the shaft. where doctor would be wait

When the saved man and his savers

was waiting in breathless suspense.
When the word flew round that kendall

to the winter sky.
Near the very spot where he had Left

The last we heard of Lady Randolph
Churchill, says New York exchange,
she was winning universal admiration
because of her fine cycling Now word
reaches this side of the Atlantic that she
is the object of keenest admiration when
Oh skates. 1t appears that her ladyship
learned the art of perfect grace on the
ice while in canada, and that she has
not since lost so mucA as one iot. At the
rink in London recently she was seen in
company with the champion skater of
the world, and even under such circum-
stances her grace and art won universal
plaudits.

THE USE OF COCAINE.

Hofse Trainers and jockeys Find It Use
full ~ . Braccr For Their Nag.
Within recent period cocaine has
come into use on tho race track as a
stimulant. Horses that are worn and ex-
hausted. or are uncertain as to speed and
endurance, are given 10 to Is grains Of
cocaine by the needle under the skin at
the time of starting, or q few moments
before.
The effects are very prominent. and
veritable muscular delirium follows, in
which the horse displays Unusual speed
and often unexpectedly wins the race.
This agitation continues, and the driver
has difficulty in slowing down" the
horse after the race is over; not rnfre-
Quently the horse will go half way round
again before he can be stopped. The ex-
haustiOn which follows is not marked,
except in the great thirst and loss of ap-
petite. Sometimes diarrhea and trem-
bling follow. But good grooms give un-
usual attention to rubbing and bathing
the legs in hot water and stimulants.
The general effect Oh the horse is de-
preston, from which he soon RECEIVERS,

again to make sure of his speed. The
action of cocaine grows more transient
as the use increases, and when long
period of scoring follows before the race
begins drivers give a second dose secret
ly while i'll the saddle. Sometimes the
horse becomes deiirious and unmanage-
able and leaves the track in a wild
frenzy. often killing the driver, or he
drops dead on the track from cocaine, al
though the cause is unknown to any but
the owner and driver. Some horses have
been given as high as 90 grains at a
time. but this is dangerous and only
given to worDout animals, who may by
this means win race. 1t appears that
cocaine is only used in running races
and as o temporary stimulant for the
time. 1t is claimed that the flashing
eyes and trembling excitement of the
horse are strong evidence of the use Of
cocaine. e.-C:ncinnati Enquirer.
