There are two facts regarding con-
sumption which, although long known
and insisted upon by a few sanitarans
and physicians, have only recently been
generally admitted. 1t Is upon these
two facts-the contagiousness Of the
disease and its durability in the early
stages-that the modern sanatorium
treatment of tuberculosis has been
founded. Consumption is not conta-
gious In the same sense as smallpox,
for If certain necessary precautions are
taken a tuberculous subject is little
more dangerous to the health of those
about him than is a we'll person; but
If these essentials are neglected the
danger is very great and very real
Now among the very poor, especially
those living In large cities, 1t is prac.
tlcally impossible to enforce the observ.
ance Of these precautions, and conse.
quently each consumptive is center
whence the disease may, and probably
will, spread In countless directions.
The transfer of such a patient to a
sanatorium removes at once source
OF peril to the community and at the
same time gives the patient himself the
best and often his only, chance OF re-
covery. The main elements of treat
ment in sanatorium are an apund-
ance of fresh and pure air. wholesome
food, rest and exercise in rne proper
proportions. and above all absolute
cleanliness and the prompt destruction
of the bacillus-laden eXpectorated mat

The disagreement Of scenery with
lideous advertisements is great evil
IN this country, Dut Is by no means pc
culiar to 1t. In England 1t has reached
such magnitude that a large society
has been formed, with periodical pub
hcation as its organ. to combat 1t and
TO resist its further extension. The So
ciety Is reported already to have done
much good, especially by so arousing
public sentiment as TO make It evident
that advertisers guilty Of the offense
will lose rather than gain patronage
thereby. There Is shrewd sense in that
plan of campaign, commendable for ap-
plication elsewhere. Advertisements
are displayed solely for the sake of
gain, and II 1t be known that those
which have character revolving to
good taste will repel patronage and
cause loss instead of again, offensive
methods of display will speedily be
abandoned. The remedy of this evil.

Queen Victoria is a crank on the sub

ago she was spending some time at
Wiesbaden. and she used to drive to the

while people looked at her and wonder

old, rusty bonnet. One day the young

CARDS his consort as a good comrade

Pickpocket Pig"ott's Ruse.

"Jack" Piggott, the noted pick
pocket, used to tell funny story about
the difficulty he had in picking the
pocket of fashionably dressed womaD
who was looking in at the window Of
Shreve's jewelry store. 1t ILLUSTRATES
the hardships that the light-fingereG
gentry are forced to endure in the pur-
suit of their profession.
1t was cold winter evening and the
lady on whose purse Piggott had de-
signs stood looking at the holiday finery
so temptingly displayed. Piggott said
that he tried all the arts known to his
craft for the extraction of the wallet,
but all in vain, until as last resort he
fished toothpick from his pocket, and
reaching around tickled the lady's ear.
Instinctively she raised her hand to
brush away the invading insect or
whatever it might be, and in so doing
let go of her pocketbook that she was
carrying in the pocket of her coat. 1t
was only for an instant but 1t was long
enough for the expert pickpocket to get
in his work, and when she put her hand
back her money was gone, and in the
crowd around her she could not iden-
tify the pale-faced, fashionably dressed
young man at her side as the person
who had robbed her, and If she had ac-
cused him there would have been no
proof against him, as the swag was at
once passed to pal who stood ready to
receive 1t and run.

The Chicago Tribune's statlstician is
responsible for the cheering informa-

United States for 1899 was the small
est since 1885. This is certainly good
news, and probably unexpected to
many people, for the increasing horror
OF these demonstrations among decent
folk has undoubtedly been the cause of
giving them greater conspicuousness in
the press when they do happen.

The question is asked, When will
England reach the zenith of her great
ness, There are some reasons for
thinking that she has already reached
1t, and they have no reference to her
success or failure in the Boer war.
First, the English have ceased to be an
agricultural people, and they must de-
pend, even in war, upon food imported
from over the sea. Second, as manu-
featuring nation they have already be-
gun to decay, as witness their final
loss of the premiership in iron and steel
production. 1t is morally certain that
England will be left far behind in the
industrial struggle of the twentieth
century by the United States simply
because the United States possess the
natural capacity the Americans are
fully the equals of the English. Third.
if England loses ground in agricultural
and manufacturing and trace it will
be Inherently impossible for her to
maintain first rank as political pow
er, because in her recurring wars her
accumulated wealth will be gradually
swallowed up. That she must engage
in such wars seems clear because Of
the intense jealousy of her great rivals,
and because her limited Imperialism
brings her in endless antagonsm to
those rivals in various parts Of the
earth.

The commonest principles of justice
brain of man who can sit in judges
chair and say solemnly to a jury: "If
railroad company kills child its par
ents should be satisfied with 81 dam
ages. Children are source of ex-
pense to their parents and are of no
pecuniary benefit" Yet this is the ex-
pressed opinion of a Supreme Court
justice in New Jersey. Only 81 for the
life Of every child killed under the
wheels of train or trolley car. The
market value of an ordinary dog is
five times as much. A pig is worth
more. Scarcely less foolish than this
opinion is that delivered by justice
Of the Superior Court of Connecticut.
He says: provided the railroad com
pany killed the man painlessly, $40 is
sufficient damages for his relatives.
The relatives must prove that the dead
man suffered pain to get more. The
fact that the body is mutilated does
not prove it," Here is another gem Of
Jurisprudence. A man put to death
painlessly is worth $40. A man who
suffers some pain is probably worth
500. On the other hand, and in ac-
cordance with the same rule, a man
