The State Board OF Health gives out
the following:
consumption is the most destruc-
tive disease, the number OF persons
dying annually from this cause in Mich
igan amounting to about three thous
and.
Consumption is dangerous com
municable disease, the most dangerous
one in Michigan. One consumptive
may spread the disease to very many
healthy persons. The chief danger
exists in the expectoration Of the con
sumptive person, and IL this expector
alton is carefully destroyed before IL Is
dried. little danger need be feared.
Consumptiyes should be instructed
not to spit upon sidewalks, the floors
OF rooms, public halls, street and rail
way cars, and other vehicles, nor
where fowls or dairy COWS may take in
the sputum, or the dust of it with their
food. They should spit into pieces Of
cloth, or rcceptaclcs made for the pur-
pose, containing IA saturated solution
of carbolic acid lone part OF carboic
acid crystals to about fifteen parts Of
water). Such pieces Of cloth should be
destroyed by fire, before the sputa be-
come dry, and other receptacles should
be cleansed with scalding water, their
contents having been destroyed or
otherwise carefully disposed Of. Hand
kerchiefs which may have been used
from necessity should be boiled half an
hour before washing.
IL is best that all persons who have "a
cough should carry small pieces OF
cloth leach just large enough to prop
erly receive one sputum) and paraflined
paper envelopes or wrappers in which
the cloth, as soon as once used, may be
put and securely enclosed, and, with
its envelope, burned on the first oppor
tunity.
Remember that sputa must never be
allowed to become dry.

Americans In Mexico.

Mr.. Bryan says he found the produc-
erywhere in Mexico, selling iii competi-
ton with their European rivals. He
could have further said, had he been
well informed on the subject, that
American protected productions have
invaded Europe itself, recently increas-
ing our exports in that line to totals
never before attained, and that, too,
without the aid of the almost prohibi-
tive nonrevenue producing wall to
keep out foreign competition" which
Mr.. Bryan approvingly refers to as one
result Of free coinage in Mexico. He
says that Mexican exporters have q
great advantage over competitors living
in gold standard countries They most
assuredly have and that great advan-
tage is the cheap labor they secure as
direct result Of the free coinage of sill
yer. 1t is an advantage not shared by
the Mexican producer who sells for sill
yer, nor by the Mexican laborer who
works for silver, but is monopolized by
the exporter who sells for gold and with
it buys silver, as he would tobacco, at
its lowest market price and doles it out
to the laborer and small producer.
Mr.. Bryan says he found Americans
in Mexico who stay there. There are
probably not dozen Americans engag-
ed in any form Of common labor in all
of Mexico They would starve to death
on the wages paid and could not equal
"a Mexican laborer in performing the la
Dor expected Of them or in enduring the
many priyations necessarily incident to
the lives Of the working class in this
land Of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio OF l6 to l.
And this is the land and these are the
conditions and this is the system OBJ
servation Of which from palace car
window and information of which gain
ed from eulogistic banquet speeches
more than ever convinced" Mr. w. j.
Bryan that the free coinage of silver
should be adopted by the American peo-
pie. PERRY L. Powers.

The daughter, Mrs. Dannberg, is now the wire or a well-to-do merchant in Rangoon. Burmah, and two sons are MOTHS and Asher Naftaly.
 Aaron and his wife did not agree, so they separated, she living in one part of the city and he in another. Finally the wife became i'll and the husband went to her and nursed her into health. put the strain broke him down and when he in turn was forced to take to his bed his wife moved out of the house and left him to take care of himself. He recovered, but being old ana feeble was unable to do any heavy Work, ana as his limited education pre- vented him from doing anything in the clerical line he gradually sank lower and lower in poverty until he was forced to depend absolutely on the Eureka Benevolent Society and the charity Of kind-hearted friends for his Sustenance
 His family was acquainted with his NNSeieoIC IOlIulllOn. lnS UlOtIST dIlu sons were informed by friends, who urged them to do something for his re- lief, and the daughter was appealed to by those who felt for the old mans misery. They all turned a deaf ear to the pleas and short time ago the mother and sons sailed for the Orient without even as much as bidding him good-by or leaving a cent for his sup port, though they carried several thous- and dollars with them
 A few weeks ago the old fellow con- tracted bad case of grip, and though everything was done for him by the stockton Street Polyclinic. he grew weaker and weaker. until his landlord last Tuesday, going down into the dark cellar that served him for room, found his emaclated body laying on the pile of rags and refuse that, heaped up on the floor, served him for a bed.
 The body was sent to the Morgue, from where it was taken to Halsted's undertaking parlors, at the order of the Eureka Benevolent Society, which will see that it is properly buried.

caught in the Pavilion yesterday.
 A Chinese baby show, under the management of J. H. Lewis and L. w.. Buckley, was in progress and the Var1- colored costumes of the 200 Juvenile contestants of both sexes made the en- closure in front of the band stand LOOK like the poster of comic opera. The children ranged from infants of three months to boys and girls of seven years of age, and the Squealing, cry ing and squabbling of the youngsters, combined with the chattering of their parents and guardians, made noise that can only be likened to menag- erie of monkeys turned loose in blaming mill.
 The fathers and mothers were deep ly interested in the competition, but while the latter chattered necessarily and admonished their offspring with all the endearing terms and gentle ex- pressions of correction known to the vocabulary of the Chinese mother, the former sat holding their young on their knees with as much expression on their features as may be found on the faces of their own attractive look ing gods.
 The incosure in which the embry onic mandarinS and mandarinesse5 were confined was in the shape of a square, around which ran a wooden railing. This railing was nneQ ten rect deep with Occidental femininity that had gathered in droves to look upon and criticize the progeny of their yell low sisters. It seemed as If every other woman spectator had brought child of her own, who crawled under the railing and fought with the little Ce- Iestials for the bags of candy that were distributed to all hands, while it's moth CT leaned over and exchanged opinions on child culture with the matron from across the seas.

HHOW la, my pretty tenth born, said | motherly Mrs. Yang to her three Oyear-old as she sat among the other Oriental matrons at the Chinese baby show at the Mining Fair yesterday chow la. "Seest thou not that the thin white devil with the strings on his face is looking at thee? He it is, O son of the gods, who will judge of thy beauty, and. if he find thee worthy, bestow upon thee the pretty red brooches and the green blouse with the yellow trim mings."
 "Chow la, thou imp possessed by the forty devils. Wouldst thou spoil thy chances by thy restlessness and have the salmon-tinted cap with the purple button go to thy half-brother-that Cantonese puppy begotten of thy father by his fourth wife? SeeSt thou little Yet Gee over there in the corner? He is but the descendant of river boatman, whilst thy ancestors, m times past, have worn the yellow peacock feather and watched hundred retain CTS manipulate the chopsticks at the banouet board in their princely halls. Vet he sitteth there with the quiet dig nity of a mandarin of twenty districts, whilst thou squirmeth around as though thou vert possessed of all the heas of the mighty dog Chang.
 ..The gods protect thee, Mrs. Yuen, and guard from harm the little flower that sleepeth on thy bosom. The wise and holy Yuen, he of the many pipes, must swell with pride when he looketh upon the lovely blossom that hath sprung from his stalk.
 Such is the very liberal translation of fragmentary bit of conversation

Finally the committee of judges com posed of Mrs. Mary E. Tillman, MT. John Neall, Major Meyers and Miss A. H. Watkinson, after weighing the claims of each baby by the scores Of American excellence came to decision as to which were the most deserving, and MT George Trask, mounting the band stand, bestowed the prizes on the following winners:
 Handsomest boy, An On
 Second handsomest, Joseph F'ong.
 Third handSomeSt, An Hong.
 Handsomest girl, Miss An King.
 Second, Chow Yeong.
 Third, Lii Que.
 Honorable mention for boys, An Lung, An Took and An Ying.
 Honorable mention for girls, An Fong, May Oy and An Choy.
 Twins, Gum Tai and An Gum, An Sam and An See
 The first prize for each sex was anew suit of clothes, and in bestowing 1t MT. Trask made the slight mistake of giv- ing the boys garments to the girls. He soon set right, however, by Officer John Aitken, who, as he is both a man of family and an ex-member of the China town squad, knows a thing or two con- corning the habiliments of children of two hemispheres.
 The exhibition of the Olympic Club last night drew a very large crowd to the fair. The exhibition consisted of boxing, fencing and wrestling with the perch bar" act by Meihling and Hoag.

the one brought to light when the body of Aaron Naftaly was taken to the Morgue last Wednesday after noon.
 Naftaly was an old man, nearly threescore and ten, born in Turkey of Jewish extraction, who, notwithstand ing the fact that he had a wife. two sons and daughter in prosperous circumstances, whom he labored lifetime to support and educate, was allowed to die in a cellar like friend less dog, wanting the common necessi- ties Of life.
 Criminal self1shness and filial in gratitude are hard terms to apply to any one, and consequently they will not be used. But here are the facts of the case.

 'I know you think I have an awful cheek" she demurely remarked. T hope some day to be able to repay you for your trouble.'
 In the confusion consequent on the repeatedly changing of the money the saleswoman not only gave the willy purchaser the dollars in silver, but also the gold piece, which she wanted changed.
 With many apologies for causing the woman "so much trouble" the change ringer" then left the store, after prom ising to ''call again" in the near future.

Though Naftaly was quite an old man. 1t is the opinion of those who are conversant with his case that with the most ordinary comfort his life might have been prolonged for several years. The cellar he lived in was dark and damp, and food had not passed his lips for three days previous to his death. His clothing was only sufficient to serve the ends of decency. The only meat he ever tasted was when some kind neighbor took pity on him, and the luxury of a fire was to him un- known.
 To reiterate, criminal selfishness and filial ingratitude are hard terms, and are therefore not used. but the blood of an old man and a father will one day cry out for judgment against some one.
