A Dangerous Habit.

The splitting habit and its danger to
public health was the subject of an
elaborate report lately made by the
Psychologists of the board of health OF
New York city Aside from the breach
of good manners involved in public eX-
pectoration, the need of sanitary regu-
lations to protect places and convey
ances used by the community at large
is obvious. The germs of different
diseases, such as consumption, diph-
iberia, influenza and the like, are con-
tanned in the expectoration Of persons
suffering from them, and these NAL
aides may be induced in others who
come in contact with the offensive mat
ter. These considerations show the ne
cessity Of abating public nuisance,
which is at the same time the means OF
diffusing dangerous and infectious ma
terial. 1t may be of service to quote
from the report what these specialists
say about one terrible disease:
''It has been shown with reference to
diphtheria that mild cases are frequent
ly not recognized and are not regarded
as diphtheria, while diphtheria bacilli
present in the throat secretion may, il
transmitted, produce as virulent dlph-
iberia in other persons as the bacllll
from the severest types of the disease.
These mild cases are often not confined
to their homes at any period OF the
affection. Also, during convalescence
from more severe attacks, often for
several weeks the throat secretions
may contain virulent diphtheria
bacilli."
The expectoration of person whose
case is reported as mild" may thus
induce the disease in form terrifying
to the community. Itwould be we'll fol-
men and boys who cannot help spit
ting" to note the fact that few women
and girls are guilty of the vicious prac-
tico

IT'S hard to believe that there were
people who denounced the New York
Central Railroad company as blood
thirsty for its prosecution of the two
young train wreckers who were recent
1y sentenced to imprisonment for long
terms. Train wrecking is one of the
crimes that exhibits more completely
than any other the peculiar coldblood-
edness which seems to be developed
amongst our younger criminals. 1t is
deliberate, uniustifed by sudden emo
ton, and involves suffering and loss OF
life impossible to accomplish in any
other way. There is, it would seem,
no chance for sentimentality to cast its
sickly glamour over a deed like this
But there are still people who would
practically justify it by refusing tc
punish the criminals.

THE CAUSE OF DEATH.
The Result of the Examination of the Cows
Which Died in the Pasture Recently.

Which Died in the Pasture Recently.
On May % DR.. Veitch, of this city,
and DR.. Levin, of Russell, H., visited
the pasture of Edward Balm, east of the
cemetery, to investigate the cause of
sickness and death among the mich
COWS pastured there. 1t was found
that one was dead and two were dying.
An autopsy was held with the follow
ing results: The blood was very dark
and thick. The mucus membrane of
the stomach and bowels was in high
~ infamed condition, and in many
places this membrane was detached
from the submucus tissues. The feces
were in Shiny, fetid condition. The
heart and lungs engorged with blood;
the bladder contained but little urine.
The liver and spleen were somewhat
congested. The mammary glands con-
tanned but little milk, and were in a
dacid condition.
On examination of those affected
previous to death all presented the
same symptoms, namely: Great pros
tration with occasional deliriousness;
pulse full, soft, accelerated and inter-
mittent; temperature 102 35. All af-
fected succumbed in forty-elght to
seventy-two hours. The disease was
castro enteritis, due to the absorption
of poisonous gases from weakened
digestion, which condition amounted
to paralysis of the whole di-
gestiYe tract, caused by rapid
growth and large per cent. of
water contained in the grasses. 1t
was first supposed that the sickness
was due to some mineral poison acct
dentally placed in the pasture, but
tests made proved that this was not
the cause, AS preventive for such
cases DR.. Veitch recommends that the
COWS be taken up at night for week or
two and small quantity of hay allow
ed, and no further trouble need be ap-
pretended A liberal supply of good
water would be great benefit.

Within Reason.

In recent issue of the Washington
Post is given the just rebuke which
Chief C. j. Harris, of the Cherokee ma
ton, levels at the government Of the
United States. The chief with good
reason remarks: " If the United States
government would only carry out its
solemn agreements with the five civil
lied tribes our people would have moth
ing to complain of. Contracts and
promises that we trusted to the honor
of this great nation to executemhave
been violated, and there seems to be no
intention on the part of the government
to redeem them. When we sold the
Cherokee strip we were told as an
inducement to parting with the lands,
that all previous pledges would be car
ried out. That promise was broken
with the rest. Now, I maintain that
the United States ought to go forward
and make good its PAST agreements
before entering on further Indian legis-
lation. When that is done it will be
time enough for the Indians to say
whether they are il accord with the
desires of the government. Until that
is done all bills changing the existing
status are obnoxious to our people"

Free Libraries In Cities.

The New York World, in speaking
of city libraries uses arguments that
are pertinent and applicable to our free
library. 1t says that the free circulat-
ing library ranks with the newspaper
as one of the greatest educators in our
city populations. Reference libraries
and reading rooms do most useful
work, but at best their direct service
reaches only a small class. The young
men and young women ia active en-
ployment whose usefulness would be
most increased by good books cannot
be reached except through circulating
libraries.
Such libraries carry on the work OF
the common schools by supplying what
is generally called literature" For
this they have been called "the peoples
colleges" But they do still more by
furnishing active minds with what is
needed for their developer ent along the
lines of their specialties. This is illus
trated in the great demand for books
on electricity and the practical scien-
ces. When two-cent loan of a two
dollar book may give future Frank
lin or Edison or Roentgen the informa-
ton he needs to make his development
possible, the community which denies
him his opportunity is throwing away
it's own opportunities of greatness.
Every great book has the intellect :
the soul, of a great man in it .Circulat-
ing libraries are devices for leavening
the ordinary mind with the yeast of
greatness. We cannot have too many
of them.

WHEN Gen. Grant began to be talked
about for President in 1868, there was
clamor for him to define his position
with regard to the civil and political
rights of the negroes, and other matters
of interest at that time, but he only
IS talked horse" as one of the interro-
gators said, and refused to furnish any
ammunition for his opponents. That
suited the people, and they nominated
and elected him, and were so vel
pleased with him that they gave him q
second term.

WHEN Lincoln was a candidate for
the Republican nomination for presi-
dent there were many interrogators
who wanted to know how he stood on
the fugitive slave law and what he
would do in the event Of secession but
he refused to accommodate them with
a reply. He refused to allow his enc
mics to draw expressions from him to
be distorted and used to his disadvan-
tage. Mckinley in this respect is like
Lincoln and refuses to listen to Plat
and his tools. He knows they are nc
friends of his and that they are famil-
lar with his record.

A SHINING EXAMPLE of what
may be accomplished by never vary
ing devotion to single purpose Is
seen in the history of the Mccormick
Harvesting Machine Co., Chicago.
For os years they have simply been
building grain and grass-cutting ma
ehinery, and while there are probably
forty manufacturers in this line, it Is
safe to say that the Mccormick
Company builds one-third of all
the binders, reapers and mowers used
throughout the entire world.
