The arabian Nights" once More.

A large part of Cairo is very littlo
spoiled. 1t is still, to great degree,
the city of the Arabian Nights" The
worst injury was done before England
took the reins. for it was Ismail who
recklessly ran streets through mosques
and ancient palaces in order to make a
straight drive to the citadel. In tho
Boulevard Mohammed Ally we certainly
find the oldest tumble of east and west,
old and new. For example, just oppo-
site the stately mosque of Sultan Hasan,
at the head Of this unsightly street, you
see cabaret with the signboard. "tGrog
Shop For Army and Navy" next door
a Moslem school, as the inscription,
"Medresseh Mohammediyeh, shows.
Across the road stands the shape
less mass of the unfinished Rifa'iyeh
mosque, erected at the cost of $3.50, 900
by the mother Of Ismail, and within
those unroofed walls, surrounded by,
rotting scaffolding, lies the body Of the
princely borrower himself. Under the
shadow of Sultan Hasan an Arab barber
is cutting hair with modern clipping
machine. "A gayly painted harim car
riage stands in the road. On the panel
is sham coat Of arms. Solemn sheikhs
pass by without any sort of emotion Mt
these queer sights. Overhead the citadel
guns boom out salute, for it is the
great festival, the d-el-Kebir. -Satur-

Some Venerable Theories on This Subject
That Have Been Exploded.
The effect Of expired dir upon animal
life is the subject Of an interesting arti-
Gle in The Medical Record by DR..
George f. Shrady, it's editor. eve need
not, j." says DR.. Shrady, "emphasize the
evil effects of what is usually called bad
ventilation. 1t is perhaps true that
acute diseases are not to be traced to
the came, but it may be safely stated
that there is.a distinct deterioration of
vital forces in those who are constantly
subjected TO the impure atmosphere of
badly ventilated rooms. The cause of
the sickening sensation which comes
over US upon entering al atmosphere
contaminated with many breaths or of
the gradual deterioration of the vital
forces which follows confinement in such
an atmosphere is not known. For a
number of years prior to 1888 the view
prevailed that the discomfort and dau-
ger to health and life in badly ventilat-
ed rooms were largely due to organic
matters contained i'll tho air expired,
and that the increase in carbonio acid
due to respiration has but little effect in
V,
however, several experimenters have
concluded that the organic matters in
the exhaled breath are not harmful, at
least to animals
Referring to recent experiments OH
the subject, DR.. Shrndy says: 1.-THE re-
suits justify tho conclusion that tho dis
comfort felt in crowded, i'll ventilated
rooms is not due to excessive carbonio
acid or to bacteria or in most cases
to dusts of any kind, but is i'll reality
due to excessive temperature and I'M
pleasant odors. Nothing in these ex-
periments shows the cause Of the un-
pleasant, musty odor Of an unventilated
room, and attention is called to the
curious fact that cases Of fainting in
crowded rooms usually occur in women
and are connected, the authors think,
with defective respiratory action due
to tight lacing. Finally these investi-
cations, the authors declare, go to prove
that some of the theories upon which
modern systems of ventilation are based
are either without foundation OF doubt
full, and that the problem of securing
comfort and health in inhabited rooms
requires the consideration OF the best
methods Of preventing or disposing of
dust Of various kinds, Of regulating
temperature and moisture and of carry
1ng Off poisonous gases derived from
heating and lighting apparatus rather
than OF simply diluting the air to Il Ger
tain standard of proportion of carbonio
acid present.

low the little sickness to grow into the
big sickness. They allow constipation to
grow into indigestion, heartburn, dizzi-
ness, headache, Insomnia, and hundred
other distressing conditions. They do
this frequently because they do not know
the cause of their trouble. IT is pretty
safe rule to look for the source of o-Ioths
of human sickness in this one simple and
appallingly prevalent trouble. Another
foolish thing that smart people do is to
take some alleged remedy for constipa-
ton and keep on taking it, day after day,
month after month and year after year.
Perhaps it is better to take the medicine
than not to take it at all, but of course if
they stop taking it, their trouble will
come back. This last statement is true

RAILROAD OFFICIALS FAIR.
No Attempt Made at Bloomington to
Bulldoze the Employees


Bloomington, Ill. Oct. 27-The Chi
cago & Alton officials have made public
the announcement that all their en-
ployes who can be spared from their
posts Of duty may have the opportunity
to see and hear Mr.. Bryan today. The
general shops in this city We're closed
all day General superintendent Willis
Z. Gray said:
"A railroad is not a. political machine
Its employees belong to all political
faiths. When men are hired they are
not asked how they vote. Their tenure
of service depends entirely on the kind
Of service they render. Some of our
men desire to participate in the doings
of Tuesday. On the part of all there is
a perfectly natural desire to see and
hear a man VINO has been so promi-
nently in the public eye, and I can see
no harm in giving them a chance to
crafty that feeling. Our men are free
American citizens, and 1 have nothing
to DO with either their politics or their
religion. 1T is of interest to the rail-
roads to have stable finances but not
to greater degree than for the en-
plOyes. If there is panic and suffering
we all suffer together.
we have perfect cpnfdence in our
employees, both as employees and as cit
liens They are men of high order of
Intelligence. and are sr.4liine and. think
ing men. The issues of the campaign
have been thoroughly discussed by the
newspapers and the orators. and our
men have had the opportunity to make
up their minds believe the vast ma
jority Of them viii vote for sound mon
ey, because they believe that their own
interests would be as greatly jeopar-
died by free silver as ours would be.
and for no other reason. All this talk
about coercion is nothing but a politi-
cal t11ck or demagOgueS, playing on
popular prejudices. This talk Of coar-
cion is an outrage on the railway en-
ployes Of the country Of course we
have a desire that our employees shall
vote for sound money. We are inter
ested in their course as much as d man
who is a Republican is interested in his
sons espousing Republican principles
believing that this would be better for
himself and for his SON
