Thousands from an Untimely Grave.

At meeting Of the New York State
Medical Association, held at the Acad-
envy of Medicine. West ADD Street, New
York, on October 18th, DR.. George W.
GOler. in the course of his address on
the Treatment Of Pulmonary Tubercu-
losis,' which appeared in the Evening
Telegram Of that date, made the fol-
lowing remarks: a
For a period Of years, as shown by
the official reports of-the New York
State Board of Health, the number of
deaths reported from consumption in
New York state has averaged 49, 900 per
year. Upon this basis. assuming the
average life Of a conSumptive to be
four years, there are always to be
found in the state Of New York more
than 10000 cases of consumption.
During similar period Of years the
average number Of deaths reported
from acute respiratory diseases was
over 1000 per year. If To the reported
deaths from consumption there are
added the number Of persons that die
of consumption, but whose deaths are
reported To be due to intercurrent at
lacks of acute respiratory diseases, the
number Of deaths and the recorded
number Of cases ~ consumption would
manifestly ~ largely increased"
consumption has been proven t. De
both a prtVentable and communica-
BILE disease. 1t causes untold misery,

reported deaths. and really one

TREATMENT AT HOME.

DIR. - \. Knopf, of New York coun-
ty, reaAa paper on "Sanitarum Treat

ture and hangings We're to be avoided
WickerAhairs We're recommended. and
a brass or iron bedstead, but no feath-

clothing should be especially well aired
daily, anl exposed to the light as much
as possible. The patient should sleep
alone. While draft was to be avoided
as deadly at all times, fresh air was
most needful. a steady stream of air
through the patients apartment was
not alone beneficial, but almost a
necessity.

ALand OF Promise.

Rev. Joseph Parker. the eminent
English preacher, confesses that IN his
youth the sound Of the name Van Die
mems LAnd-now known as Tasmania
powerfully affected his imagination.
Il was to him, as it has been to many
youngsters, an appallingly mysterious
place. but in time it lost its evil sug'
eeetion, and he tells how this came
about in his recent book: "A Preachers
Life" At q Methodist meeting in the
north of England the people had been
singing . hymn in which the line:
eve are marching through Emman-
uel's ground" occurs, and at the close
of the hymn one good old man, whose
emotion was in excess of his intelli-
Rence, fervently prayed: "Grant that
when this life is over every one of us
may have a cottage in Van Diemen's
land" The poor man somehow got IL
into his head, by some law of mental
association which no one can fully ex-
plain, that Emmanuel's grounds and
Van Diemen's Land were practically
one and the same.-Youth's Compan.

An Important Factor in Transconti-

No one crossing the continent can
afford to cut Salt Lake City from his
route. The attractions of the place,
including the Mormon Temple, Taber-
nacle and Church institutions, the
Great Salt Lake-deader and denser
than the Dead Sea in the Holy Land
the picturesque environment and the
warm sulphur and hot springs, are
greater to the square yard than any To-
cality on the American continent.
The Rio Grande Western Railway,
connecting on the East with the Den
yer & Rio Grande and Colorado Mid.
land Railways and on the West with
the Southern Pacific Central Route)
and Oregon Short Line, is the only
transcontinetnal line passing directly
through Salt Lake City. The route
through Salt Lake City via the Rio
Grande Western Railway is famous all
the year round. On account of the
equable climate of Utah and Colorado
it is just as popular in winter as in
summer. Send &c to ]. D. Mansfield,

cultural origin, 10 the leading feature
this week, at least. In general trade,
weather conditions have not favored q
big distribution. but, compared with
q year ago, are still quite favorable.
Enlarged speculation is reflected in in.
creased bank clearings, and compari.
sons with last year are again encourag.
ing. while gains over years previous to
1859 are very marked. In strength OF
demand, and size of advance, cottons
are still easily first. Although the crop
movement has notlceably enlarged 50
active has been the demand for foreign
spinners that fully SO cents advance il
shown.
The strength of the raw sugar posi-
ton has been further increased this
week by bullish reports from European
beet markets, and the expectation that
receipts of cane sugars are apt to be
light in the future.
Fine grades of wool are quiet, but
there is still an urgent demand for me-
dunn grades, and quarter-bloods sell
better, considerable imported woods
having changed hands in Eastern mar.
kets.
A further gain in blast furnace ca.
pacity is noted. Current production
is now little below 100000 tons
yearly, and some increase of stocks il
shown.
