Origin OF Pneumonia.

In pneumonia the Importance OF the
role played by micro-organisms is now
generally acknowledged. DR.. Andrew
II. Smith, in his article on "Croupous
Pneumonia" in forthcoming volume
of the Twentieth Century Practice OF
Medicine, has done much to elucidate
these moot points and to remove the
difficulties in the way Of a more intel
lieent understanding Of the causation
of the disease. He takes the ground
that pneumonia is not an Inflammation
of the lung, but that it is simply a pro-
| cess Of germ culture going on in the all
cells, the culture medium being sup
plied from the functional vessels. DIR.
Smith is of the opinion that the key to
the whole problem is in the double cir
culation in the lungs, a thing known to
every one, but the bearing Of which
upon the pathology of pneumonia has
been hitherto overlooked. Attention
is drawn to the fact that no other or
gan Of the body but the lung could
structural health and diseased action
go on side by side, for it is the only one
although somewhat analogous con-
dition is met with in the heart-in
which the blood supply for nutrition
and function are separately provided
for.
AS might be expected, so radical a
change of view as to the pathology OF
the disease carries in it's train numerous
new views in respect to treatment.
More than one-third Of the article is de-
voted to consideration of this branch
Of the subject, in marked contrast to
the usual custom OF writer's. We have
seen that DR.. Smith asserts that pncu-
monia is not an inflammation of the
lung, for the reason that in his opinion
it does not affect the nutrition Of the
organ, but is a process OF germ culture
in which the pneumococeus grows IN a
culture medium supplied by the func-
tional capilla1ies of the lung. Hence
his argument runs that therapeutic eff
forts should be directed toward the
arrestor inhibition OF this germ culture.
Inasmuch as this culture medium is
derived from the blood, any substance
added to the latter will be also fonnd
| in the former, and If that substance is
inimical to the growth Of the coccus it
will in so far actin the direction sought.
Fortunately the pneumococcus is the
most vulnerable Of all the germs and
possessed Of the least vitality. We
have, therefore, according to Professor
Smith, a priori a probability that it's
career in the lung can be modified by
drugs. The one from which the most
satisfactory results in this direction
have beer obtained is the salicylate OF
sodium. Creosote is also valuable, as
are likewise large doses Of quinine,
which have been credited with an
abortive effect long before the exist
ence of any kind Of micro organism
was recognized.
In regard to the treatment Of pneu-
monia by means OF antitoxin, Professor
Smith believes with most scientific
men, that while there may be probably
will be a great future for orrhotherapy,
at present the results have been toe
indecisive to be relied upon as curative
or remedial in this disease. However,

told Brown yesterday that women
going into the business of the world
as competitors Of men had done a
thousand times more harm than it had
good. Ninety-nine times out Of a
hundred it has made loafers out Of
brothers and fathers, and has brought
contention instead of benefits. Some
wonder at the increase Of divorce
suits-I don't. Women once made
familiar with the work in the shops,
the Offices and the stores, is forever
united for a wife or a mother. OF
course I know there are many worthy
women who have to work, but there is
not enough Of these to set the pace.
IF it was only the good widows and
the orphan girls who sought this work,
there would befno harm in the matter,
for the sex would hold its equilibrium.
But when it comes that our girls
scramble for these places in preference
to being the keepers Of the house, the
sex loses its balance and all the world
issinjured.
When I stress the danger that lies
in our women departing from the old.
time ways, I do it not for something
to say to be captious. Ny notion is
that people are all right SO long as
their women are right. No matter
what we may think Of the Jew, when
we contemplate the character OF the
Jewish women everything is forgot in
admiration Of her virtues. There is
not an intelligent man living but what
lifts his hat; reverence at the pass
ing of a Jewess. The roughest crowds
that ever gathered in the slums would
give way and shirk from the glorious
hulo that ,encircles the Jewish woman.
They are protected BY their own sweet
seMes, and it is there that all women
must stand for protection. Happily,
the women Of Georgia and Of the
south are not yet gone SO far but what
at stride they can stand upon the
safest ground for women. | can tell
them that all the physical develop
ment IN the world with culture that's
brazen, can never give them the power

womanhocd and the blush Of modesty.

.tion Of societyism for the past twenty
years and has seen its effects upon
men, can doubt as TO its effects upon

The Honey Bee not Native Of America

The Honey Bee not Nau'o VI iA---s-.~,-
No one seems to have taken the
time and trouble to thoroughly inves-
tigate the early history Of the honey
bee in America. Enough is known,
however, to assure us that it is not
indigenous to the country. but was, in
all probability, imported by the early
colonists.
The earliest mention Of honey in
America, so far as considerable re-
search discloses to the writer, is IN
Irving S account Of De Soto's wander
ings. While the adventurer was at
the village Of Ichiaha, in June, l54O,
his men found ia quantity Of bears
greese preserved in pots, likewise oil
made FROM the walnut, and pot Of
honey. The latter they had not be-
fore seen, nor did they ever again
meet with during their wanderings."
Some have inferred from this that
the honey bee was in Florida at this
period, and that it was indigenous to
America. But this does not follow
first, because the village in which the
honey was found was located in the
country since known as Northern
Georgia, or, perhaps, Northern Ala
bama, ana not in Florida /; second, the
honey mentioned was very possibly
the product Of the humble bee,
which was native and very widely
scattered.
Nevertheless, the honey bee was
probably introduced by the Spanish
settlers, in Florida, at least at later
period, for Bartram, who explored the
country in 1773, mentions honey and
beeswax as articles of barter among
the Indians. He speaks Of honey in
so many places in his book, that it
must have been quite common, and,
therefore, could not have been the pro
duct Of the humble bee, whose store
Of honey is very seant. Bartram was
told By physician that there were.
few or no bees west Of the peninsula
of Florida, and but one hive in Mobile,
which latter had been brought from
Europe. Traders had also Informed
him that there was none in West
Florida.
At this period the honey bee was
common all along the eastern shore of
the country, from Nova Scotia south
ward. The fact that it was not found
in the interior is good evidence that
the insect was not a native of America.
Otherwise natural swarming would.
have distributed it throughout the
land long. before the arrival of the
white man.
Jonathan Carver, an Englishman,
explored Wisconsin and the adjacent
territory in 1766-e7, and in his book,
published soon after, he mentions the
commonest insects. The honey bee
is not among them, but the humble
bee is referred to as follows; cThe
bees Of America principally lodge their
honey in the earth, to secure it from
the rsvages Of bears. who are remark
ably fond Of it.
According to a writer in The Amer
lean Bee Journal for July, 1866, the
honey bee was first noticed by white
men in Kentucky in 1880, in New
York in 1893. and west Of the Misssis-
sippi in 1897. At the present day
this Industrious little bee is scattered
throughout America, and the produc-
tion Of honey is constantly increasing.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

The best feature of the Uncle Joshua
Simpkins' performance at the Craw-
ford theater last night proved to be
the orchestra. Seven men sat below
the footlights and dispensed music in
a style that is unknown to the majority
of the musical cOntingents of rural
shows. If the musicians are not the
highest salaried people with the COM
pany. the management is not distribut-
ing the finances appropriately and with
an eye to justice. Some of the members
of the company presenting the piece
give evidence of being able to do better
work if the opportunity was given
them, but the plot and the lines are
almost a proof that authors of rural
plays have in their power the commits
sion of crime. The audience that saw
the performance was not large, but was
attentive and appreciative. Miss Irene
Duckett received an encore on a coon
song. and responded with another, and
Mr.. Dave Williams did a monologue
sketch. The performance win be re-
peated tonight. 1t contains a saw mill

Michigan Central freight train at the
corner of CARROT and Bellevue avenue,
killing Conductor Schneider and injur-

rear step and was instantly crushed to
death between the car and a telephone
pole.
