There are two facts, regarding con-

and insisted upon by a few sanitariaps
and 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

founded.
Consumption is not contagious in
the same sense az smallpox, for il
certain necessary precautions are taken

essentials ore 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 OBJ

sequently each consumptive is centre

will, spread in countless directions.

The more common way of serving
dried or smoked beef is to shave it into
thin slices, raWor perhaps warm 1t up
in a little milk gravy, but more savory
dish is prepared as follows: Put the
slices Of beef into a frying pan with
just enough water to cover them and
simmer for few minutes; drain off the
water and cut the meat into several
bits. Return to the pan, which should
be hot, with a tablespoonful of butter
and little pepper. Have ready some
well-beaten eggs. allowing four to a

QUEER WOUNDS.
Made by Spanish Bullets at the Battle
of San Juan.

"My messmate, the Surgeon told me
of two queer wounds" said the re-
turned Cuban campaigner, land If
did not know him to be a truthful
man who had seen the wounds with
his own eyes. would not believe the
story. He said late in the afternoon
of the day the hill was stormed man
came up to the hospital tent and said:
Doctor, I am shot through the neck
The doctor supposed a glancing shot
had left It's mark on the side of the
neck, but he told the man to take of
the bandage In which it was bound.
thinking he would see if the wound
was clean. To his utter establishment
he found the man had been shot, the
bullet passing through the neck from
side to side. He said he could hardly
believe his eyes, and several other sur
geons were called to look at the
wound, but it was there without ques.
tion and the man alive and not bleed
ing to death. The wound was dressed
and the man made to lie down. Next
morning the wounded man asked leave
to go back to the firing line, saying
he felt fine and wanted another crack
at the Dagoes. He was kept In the
tent another day and finally was al
lowed to join his company. and Is, so
far as l know, alive to-day. The sur
geon told me a bullet could not pass
through a mans neck in that way
without killing him once In 10000
times. and had he not seen the man
he would hardly credit the story being
true.
"The other wound was equally odd.
A man was brought into the hospital
who, while in a STOPPING position. had
been shot in the back by sharp.
shooter, the bullet entering the back
between the shoulder blades and COM
ing out into the mans mouth, knock
ing out two of his front teeth. The
man carried in his hand the teeth and
bullet when he arrived at the hospital.
He did not die, strange to relate The
bullet had sufficient force to pass into
the throat, up and out into the mouth
and knock out the teeth and did not
injure the throat badly. That wound
was a marvel, "-Cincinnat Enquirer.

ANIMALS.
The Lion Tanner Likes Leopards and
Balloons.

II would much rather go into a
cage with wild lion or tiger than
with a panther" said the lion tanner.
you must not trust panther for
moment. He is always watching for his
chance. He never gets so fond of any
one that he can be trusted. He will
fawn and cringe and rub against you,
and then he will jump; and If you are
not brave and quick that will be the
end of you. Other animals are not
like that like the leopard best of
all. They are not lazy like the lions,
and they are affectionate like a per-
son. Monsieur Abadi had a leopard
who was my best friend. Cambodia
was her name. l think that Is the
name of French colony where she
was captured; but she was not French.
She did not like Monsieur and she
would not listen to French; but she
would talk English with me and she
loved me very much. In the tent she
followed me around without any col
lar or chain, and she would rub up
against me like cat. Every morn
ing she would stand on her hind feet,
with her front paws on the cross bars
of the cage and her nose on her paws,
and she would watch the door. When
| came in she would jump down and
go capering around and calling to me
and begging me to come into the
cage. Sometimes l slept all night
with her in her cage.
I'm Singapore an Englishman bet
me $50 rupees that did not dare sleep
with the leopard. That was an easy
way of earning money. The leopard
wouldn't have hurt me for anything
In the world. One day l was sitting
in the cage with her and a man threw
a piece of meat at her 1t landed on
my wrist She snatched at 1t with her
claws out and almost tore my hand
off, but she was SO sorry. 1t made
her sick, and she couldn't keep from
crying every time she looked at me
as long as | wore the bandage. She
kept asking me to forgive her all the
time.
1T was the same way with bah
boon that bit me. He was a very good
friend OF mine, but he was savage
with everybody else, and SO big that
everybody was afraid Of him. One
day when | was with him boy ran a
sharp stick into him and he thought
did it, so he grabbed me and bit me
on the cheek. He was bigger than l
was and wasn't expecting any trou-
BILE, so l couldn't protect myself; but
the minute he had done it he was
ashamed, and began to whimper and
beg for forgiveness. He treated me
as If l was a baby, and petted me
and Rugged me, and when they took
me out and bandaged up my head he
could hardly bear it, You never saw
any one SO remorseful. | couldn't
cheer him at all. He just shook his
head and cried; and that scar always
worried him. N. Y. Sun.
