OYSTERS AND TYPHOID.
The BivaIves Capable OF Causing Dis


1t is not likely that the public will
read. or even see. the elaborate report
On the oyster and the typhoid question
just issued by the local government
board, and therefore we beg them not
to be alarmed at the comments that are
appearing in the press on the subject.
Report does not warrant an alarmist
view. It contains, it is true, the abun-
dant justification for having raised the
question. Oysters are now proved, not
only in this country but i'll France and
the United States, to be capable of
causing. and to have actually caused,
typhoid fever. And the investigation
Of the oyster beds on our coasts, carried
ont by DR.. Bulstrode for the local gov
eminent board, shows that in several
places oysters are exposed to the risk
Of conveying the disease. They are
placed for fattening in shallow water
near the foreshore, and so close to sewer
outfalls as to be pretty constantly
bathed by sewage. The worst places in
This respect are Southend. Grimsby,
Shcreham and the Isle of Wight. On
the other hand, Whitstable and several
other famous beds are beyond suspi-
cion. while a third class is only theoret-
icaily open to danger. But the most
comforting point brought out by the
report is that even in the worst cases
the danger can be removed without
difficulty. Now that the government
has pointed the way, it is for the local
authorities to carry out the necessary
reforms, and for oyster consumers to
insist that they are carried out,-St.

French Arc Great Drinkers.

According to an eminent professor at
Geneva, France drinks more alcohol
annually than any other nation in Eu-
rope. The calculation is made on the
basis of the strength of heliquids con-
sumed, and all drinks being brought to
acommon standard, itappears that each
person in France drinks 49, quarts u
year. Next to France comes Switzcr
land, Belgium, and Italy, the annual
consumption in the case Of each of these
countries being ten quarts. The Eng.
fish and Germans consume nine quarts
the Swedes four, the Norwegians three
and the Canadians only two.

Scrub stock may be d luxury enjoyed

folly only for book farmers and eXpe-

object lesson in the Live Stock Report,
referring to feeding stock in times OF
depression. 1t shows the necessity of
boycotting the scrub and selecting good
grades to feed, which was never more
important than now, and this should
drive the scrub stock from the American
farms and induce farmers who think.
read and care for their own prosperity,
TO breed only pure-bre1 or high-grade
stock that will return fair profit for
the feed given them. The Report says:
Feeders are obliged 10 invest cau-
tiously. If ever there was a time when
the feeding of inferior stock should be-
avoided it is now, and in placing their
cattle in the feed lots we strongly adj
wise feeders to select only such stock
as can be safely depended upon to make
good use of the feed given it, and return
fair profits for the time, labor and

The old-time idea that the slightest
touch Of a foreign substance on the
heart means certain death was shat
tered years ago. One of the most re-
markable cases ever heard of, how
ever, was that described in paper

can Physicians some years ago by DR..
Peabody. 1t was of a case where pin
was found in human heart after hnv
ing been there for an indefinite period,
The point of the pin was distant aboye
five millimeters from the external sur
fucc Of the heart. The pin seemed
erodcd and was broken by the scissors

somewhat after the fashion of a mosaic,
and afterward blended with an instru-
ment called the cestrurn, which appears
to have been a lancet shaped spatula,
long handled, with at one end d curved
point, at the other a finely dentated
edge. With the toothed edge the wax
could be equalized and smoothed, while
the point was used for placing high
lights, marking lips, eyebrows, etc.

name encaustio to this kind of painting,
was tie burning in Of the colors. This
was done by the application Of a heated

CAR HORSES HARD TO GET.

Trade Neglects Them.
One of the most curious effects of the
general replacing OF horses by electrici-
ty and cable traction for drawing street
cars is being experienced by one OF the
extensive car lines il this city which
still uses horses. One wculd suppose
that, since the only lines in the whole
country which continue to use horses
0 form but a very small percentage
of those which used them five years
ago, these Lines would have a much
wider range of choice and could gat
horses Of 4 grade superior to the gen
eral run Of those which used to be
offered to them. Remarkable as it may
seen, this is the exact opposite Of the
truth.
The New York city line referred to
runs i'll direct competition with the
cable lines of the upper west side, and
its managers, who recently purchased
it, determined as soon as they came in
to possession to place upon it a superior
lot of horses, and Ill this way improve

out TO bug the needed horses. Much to
the surprise of the managers, it was
discovered that there were almost no
street car horses of any kind to be
bought.
The explanation Of this situation lies
in the fact that since the demand for
street car horses almost ceased the trade
