Fresh Air and Consumption.

A French physician has recently ex-
pressed the opinion that, with proper
regulations, tuberculosis may be re-
stricted within the narroWest bounds
and perhaps almost exterminated. This
is conviction founded upon the most
thorough and conclusive experimental
investigation, confirmed by practical
experience. In France a strong effort
is being made toward the restriction of
the spread of the disease by working on
consumptive children through the fresh
air treatment, and an institution has
been carried on for several years, known,
as the Fresh Air Cure for Consump-
tive Children. Two hospitals for this
purpose are situated-one at Ormisson
and the other at -Marne, :
The medical men interested in this
work consider it the most promising
method yet employed in trying to re-
duce the rate Of mortality from con-
sumption in France, which in some cit
ies-Paris, Rouen and Havre for ex-
ample-is exceedingly high. Medicine
forms no part Of the treatment, except
the occasional use of cod liver oil in
the cold season. The work of cure Is,
therefore, left entirely to fresh air and
to the hygienic living of the patients.
With the exception of very few cases.
where persistent fever keeps them in
bed during the first part of their stay
in the hospital, all the patients are
obliged to follow the regular system of
living. They rise early, bathe we'll, and
are dressed in linen garments, loosely
fitting. Twice week, unless otherwise
ordered by the physician, each patient
is bathed and vigorously rubbed by an
attendant. After the toilet the patients
eat a light breakfast; this is insisted
upon for each child, for suitable and
regular meals have proved most neces-
sary in aiding the treatment After
breakfast the children are sent into the
garden or park or covered playground,
where they enjoy games and exercises,
varying with the season The most
serious cases are kept indoors, lying in
reclining chairs, well wrapped in warm
coverings, and breathing the fresh air
admitted into the ROOM Except for the
two principal meals of the day, the en-
tire time is passed in the open air, and
the rooms are also ventilated with the
greatest possible amount of fresh air.
For the last five years the reports as
to the condition Of the patients have,
without the least variation, shown the
most satisfactory results, surprising

at work upon the construction of

ONCE a ROYAL SPORT.

In England cock-fghting, perhaps
the least manly OF all the sports, has
been for many generations associated
with Shroye Tuesday, the explanation
given being that the growing of cock
prevented the Saxon ancestors Of the
Englishmen from massacring their
conquerors, the Danes, on the morning
of Shrove Tuesday while asleep in
their beds It is said cock-fghting was
invented by the ancient Greeks.
According to one account Themis-
tocies, the great general, while lead
ing his army against the Persians came
across some cocks fighting. Calling
his troops he said: .These animals
fight not for the gods of their country,
nor for the monuments of their an
cestors, nor for glory, nor freedom, nor
for their children, but for the sake Of
victory and that one may not yield to
the other It is said this speech had
an inspiring effect on the Athenians
and annual cock fights were thereupon
established as an act of thanksgiving.
1t was only natural that the Romans
should copy the sport from the Greeks,
but with them it was only brutal
amusement. The Romans brought the
idea to. Great Britain, though the date
is unknown. About the middle of the
twelfth century, however, this sport
was indulged in at Shrovetide; school
boys brought gamebccks to school and
spent the whole afternoon watching
them, the schoolroom serving as pit,
the schoolmaster as director of the
sport. An interesting survival of this
remained in England until recent
day, when children brought a cock
penny as present to the school
teacher at Shrovetide instead of the
live cock of former days.
Two royal names stand out as espe-
eially associated with this sport-those
of Henry VIII, who built a royal cock
pit, and James l., who ordered a cock
fight twice week. There were also
pits at Drury Lane, Jerwin street and
Shoe street. Charles l. was also favor
able to the sport and appointed a
''coek-master general" with salary of
$100 a year. g.

ANDREE'S SECOND VENTURE.

Herr Andree is indomitable. The winds OF
heaven last year baflled his unique and venture

The practical results of the venture, supposins

THE DEMOCRATIC DIVISION.

The vote in the Senate on the lumber queS-
ton was probably not in the least SURPRISING
even TO those Democrats and Free Traders WHO
EXPRESSED most bitterness Of feeling about II.
On Mr. Vests motion to except white pine luiii-
her from the duty Of 50 eight Democrats voted
Normandy, Mcssrs Bacon and Clay, or Geor-
eia: McEnery Of Louisiana; Tillman ana Nc
Iaurin. Of South Carolina; Martin. Of Virginia;
Rawlins. Of Utah aud White, Of California. The
Georgia Senators have in view the protection OF
lu,nbpr interests in that State. for which Mr..
BACON argued earnestly Senator McEnery, OF
Louisiana, is in favor Of the protection OF the
srear interest. Senators from South Carolina
have in mind products Of that State, and the
Senators from Utah and California have shown
their disposition to secure protection for certain
industries Of the Pacific Coast. Thus, although
Senator Quay was paired for the amendment,
and Senator Carter voted for it with two silver
Senators. Mantle and Cannon, and three Popu-
lists. Allen. Harris and Kyle, the amendment
WAS defeated by SIS large a majority as has been
clyen against other important assaults upon
the protective features OF the bill.
This performance is in effect a rupture Of the
Democratic party in tie Senate on the tariff
cuestlon. II its members cannot be held to-
gciher on the lumber duties; If part Of the Sen
ators who voted 10 make lumber free in the
nrcscnt tariff now record themselves on the side
Of Protection. although some OF them do so be-
cause of other interests, 1t is clear that the
Democratic party can no longer be expected as
a body to continue lis old opposition to the pro-
toct!vc policy. II +, IN open secret. TOO. thai
there are other Democratic senators who VIII
lie found voting on the same side when other
portions Of the bill are reached While RepUb-
llcans are rot entirely united as TO the precise
