NOTES ON heALIH.

No consumptive person should be peg.
mitted to work in COW stables or to milk
cows.
The flesh and milk Of stall-fed and
stall-confined cows il not wholesome;
alarge part Of it il actually tuberculoua.
Tubercle In kline II = disease engendered
by confinement in close stables and
sheds.
People who value their horses also
should prohibit consumptives from en-
tering their stables, ~ the expectora-
tons Of consumPtives are full of tn
berculous material which. drying on
the floors, soon rises with the dust In
sweepings. This dust is fatal to man
and beast
Tuberclc is carried into the human
system very. very often by the milk OF
tuberculous cows. There are other
ways, of course. Of contracting con-
sumption, but this is a very common
way. Every person who does not own
cows and owners Of cows who do mot
keep them under sanitary conditions.
should be careful to use none but regu-
larly inspected milk that has been
tested properly.
II the meat consumed by human be-
ings was always the flesh of sheep and
cattle allowed a large and free range Of
pasture, and the animals were killed

The Parson was Thankful.


The trouble and the fun we had
about Charlie Ellington and his cuss
word hrnng back to my mind q good
enc they used to tell on old Parson
Brittenham. It came TO pass why back
there in them plain old days v hen peo-
pie had to ride on stage coaches instid
Of railroad trains as they do now.
And from the way the story come to
me. it would seem like old Parson Brit
tcnham and Maj. Wash Collins had
beth took the stage coach for Bells
.Landin, and from there they would
take the steamboat for New Orleans.
It would likewise seem that both of
them had some powerful pressin BUSH
Eess down tue river. The major had
shipped q whole passlc Of cotton
some fifteen 10 4 hundred bales-and
he was lookin for.4he price to tumble
every day. The old parson was goin
of to marry his third wife. and nat
urally of course time was almighty
scarce and precious with him.
The weather was wet and rough, and
the road was most outlandish bad. To
make it sfin worse for the old parson
and the major. the driver had patched
up q terrible sorry team Of horses. They
didn't have any speed to speak Of. and
they wouldn't upll = lick only when it
suited them. They would run away
zoin down every hill. and then stall
rid stop goin up hill. The more the
driver ripped aud snorted and FLASHED
the worse they got.

Something That May Happen Any
where to All Of Us.
They had barely exchanged greetings
when the man in the ulster exclaimed:
Il say, George, I'm mighty glad met
you. We're just organizing new So
ciety-the X. T. Y. and U.-and want
to give you an opportunity of getting
IN ON the ground floor"
"What do the initials stand for?"
asked the man in the fur cap.
'.Stand for!" exclaimed the man in
the ulster. "Stand for! Why, they
stand for the society, of course. We
just put the alphabet in a hat and let
a blindfolded man pick them out-the
regular way, you know. If you speak
up quick, maybe ! can work you in as
a charter member"
HAS the society any particular
aims?"
"a book full Of them. don't re-
call any of them now, but we have
them all written out and intend to have
them printed when we have money
enough. It's to be one of those frater>
nal organizations to help one another
help one another entertain each
other, my wife says, and that isn't half
bad for a woman. You'd better join"
II don't believe can do it." replied
the man in the fur cap, doubtfully. "You
know I'm d. F. G. H. now"
'tOh, well. that doesn't cut any figure.
I'm c. V. B. and U. I. o. of P. myself.
! squared it all with my wife by getting
her interested, and she has now Joined
the T. G. B., the X. s. w. @. and the e. J.
NJ. I've also promised to join the /. 4.
Z. and the w. u. v. z. next week"
Still the man in the fur cap shook his
head.
''My wife is already 4 Q. 8. c. and d.
X. A." he said. " but she said when I
joined the Y. j. O. r. K. last week that
that made the sixth, and six was enough
for q man Of domestic habits. You see,
this doesn't include the card clubs. and
It is really becoming quite difficult to
keep track of them all"
''Oh, well. if you feel that way about
il, all right" said the man in the ulster.
Most of us don't think ten or twelve
any too many. but it is your right to
draw the line at less if you are not
progressive enough to keep up with the
times. When it becomes the proper
thing for q man to affix the initials of
his societies to his name, however, as
some scientists do now, you'll feel
mighty small" kansas City Star.

the market has been very quiet Domes-
tic woods continue to attract little atten-

The New York market follows very
closely on the lines of the Boston market,
quietness being the prevailing feature.
Imports have fallen on materially. Sales
and inquiries are generally in medium
woods. Prices are firm and the few specu-
lators who are around find very little en-
