Washing on. March 20. After a
spirited debate the house Saturday
took the last congressional step In
completing the Porto Rico relief bill,
agreeing to the conference report by a
rote Of 135 to 81. The bill turns over

Rico. about $2,000000 of customs re-
teipts collected on Porto Rico goods
up to Jan. 1 last, and such amounts as
may hereafter accrue unless otherwise
provided by law. The debate lasted
but an hour but in this time the whole

HARRISON v. GARNETT.

supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia.
December Z, 1899.
IN THE ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE
TO THE CONTRARY THE PRE-
SUMPTION is THAT A TRUSTEE
PROPERLY APPLIED THE PRO
CEEDS OF A SALE MADE BY
HIM.
a SALE LIST MADE BY A CLERK
AT THE TIME OF SHERIFFS
SALn AND RETURNED BY HIM
is PRIMA FACID EVIDENCE OF
THE AMOUNT OF THE SALE, BUT
MAY BE REBUTTED.
The only question involved in this
case was whether C. c. Wager, a dep
uty sheriff of Madison county, had nc
counted properly for the proceeds of
certain property which he had sold A
part Of the property was sold by him
as trustee and part under the execu-
lions In his hands, NIL being sold at the
same time and place.
The court says:
The chief contention of appellant is,
that n certain paper filed, purporting to
be an account of the sale. must be
taken as conclusive as to the amount of
the sale. If this paper was shown to
be book OF original entries made by
clerk at the time of the sale, and had
been returned by the officer ms n rec
ord OF the amount of the sale, 1t would
have only been prima facie evidence of
the fact, that might have been over
come by satisfactory evidence that it
was n false account and did not give
the true amount for which the property
sold
There is no evidence upon which to
base the conclusion that Yaget Is in
default He was introduced on behalf
OF appellant and testi1es that he ac-
counted for. substantially, all the
money tina. came into his hands. and
we are unable to say from the record
that this is not true. The presumption.
in the absence of evidence to the con-
trary. is that the sheriff did his duty.
If he did not properly apply the PRO
ceeds of the sale OF the corn, which
was the only article sold by him as
trustee, then the question suggested by
this contention OF appellant does not
arise. and hence need not be consid-
cred. Affirmed

and see the children. He shouted TO
them to get off and. just as he did so,

OF the children, who was a plaintiff in
this suit. The lower court found that
the accident was unavoidable and in no
way attributable to the negligence OF
the defendant or his servants. The
plaintiffs appealed.
The court says:
The complaints in these actions
charge the defendant with negligence.

cakes of ice. one placed on top of the
other, without being secured in any
way whatever so rs to prevent them

veloped that the mosquito, or a certain
species of mosquito, the anopheles, is,
unquestionably the agent, If not the
direct cause, OF the wide spread Of ma
laria through all the tropical countries.
Major Ross report says: I'VE have,
found (a) that local species of mosqui-!
toes carry malaria. (b) That these spe-,
cies breed in u few stagnant puddles.
For many scientific reasons we have
come to the conclusion that the truly,
malariaI fever is caused solely by tho
mosqulto-probably entirely by the,
anopheles species. We estimate, then,
that most of the malarial fever can be
got rid of at almost no cost, except of
little energy"
In the course Of his investigation he
has studied the mosquito most thor
oughly. His treatment of the insect is
quite remarkable. The most striking
machine which he uses to facilitate his
research is a guillotine, which cuts the
insect into sixty distinct and separates
sections so small that every minute del
tail can be studied under the micro,
scope.
In order to do this the body Of the
insect is hardened by successive treat
ments with various kinds of acids and
spirits. 1t is then plunged in melted
wax. When this wax cools it sets hard
around him and enables the keen blade
of the guillotine to cut him into the
most minute shavings, each of which
can be mounted and then examined
under the microscopes.
In this way the minute stomach Of
the insect Is stud ed carefully. and the
deadly microhe which he keeps there
discovered and examined.

Ialere are two facts regarding con-
sumption which, although long known
ana insisted upon by few sanitarians
ana physicians, have only recently been
generally admitted. 1t is upon these
two facts--the CONSCIOUSNESS 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, it is prac.
tically impossible to enforce the observ.
ance of these precautions, and conse.

whence the disease may, and probably
will, spread in countless directions.
The transfer of such a patient to a
SanatOrium removes at once a source
of peril to the community and at the
same time gives the patient himself the
best, and often his only, chance or re-
cOvery. The main elements of treat
ment in a sanatorium are IN aDund-
ance of fresh and pure air. wholesome
food, rest and exercise in the proper
proportions. and above all absolute
cleanliness and the prompt destruction

The Disagreement of scenery with
1ideous advertisements is a great evil
In this country, but is by no means pc
>culiar to 1t. In England it has reached
such magnitude that large society
has been formed, with a periodical pub
lication as its organ. to combat it AMI
to resist its further extension. The So
sciety 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 APP
plication elsewhere. Advertisements
are displayed solely for the sake of
gain, aud if it be known that those
which have character revolving to
good taste will repei patronage and
cause loss instead of again, offensive
methods of display will speedily be
abandoned. The remedy of this evil,
as of many others, .:cs within reach of
the public.

What was formerly the rule has be-
come 50 far the exception as TO occa-
sion special comment when it occurs
the retirement of a merchant while still

the younger generation. In the mer-

CURED as a matter Of course. To be
SURE. what was then considered a for
tune would now be scarcely a modest
competence, but estiuates of wealth
are only relative. The merchant who
was successful expected to make his
fortune" while he was young enough

come about in business methods, the
fiercer competition, the larger demands
of life and the corresponding advance
in the estimate of what constitutes
wealth, have made this old-fashioned
Oclass Of retired merchants much less
