is CHEESE A NUISANCE?
New York Supr me Court Held that
1t Was Not.

1t Was Not.
Limburgef cheese-or rather it's odor-
was passed upon by the New York Su-
preme court the other day. The courts
decision was that Limburger cheese
kept on the premises of firm dealing
in butter and cheese is not a public
nuisance which the courts will abate,
at the suit of adjoining property own
ers, and this although the cheese Is
kept in enormously large quantities.
In a dissenting opinion filed by Judge
Hatch, however. the following Ian
guage is used: 1.-THE odor from Limbur-
ger cheese, when it is given a fair OPP
portunity to spread itself, is over
whelming and unless the olfactory
sense be educated to the liking or dead
ened to it's presence, it is about as Of
fensive an odor as can greet the olfac-
tory nerve of human beings. That the
premises are inhabitable in it's continu-
ed exposed presence will not be gener-
ally believed and when it is combined
with the Righteousness arising from
the cheese, we can readily see that a
stenfch can be produced by the side of
which the smell of hogpens and slaugh-
terhouses might be regarded as deli
cate perfumery. 1t is enough to say
that language fails in description of
such an odor and 1t is evident that the
witnesses for the plaintiff were baffied
in their attempt by lack of power to de-
scribe the overwhelming presence. 1t
needs no occult power to understand
that only a small quantity of Limbur-
ger cheese is necessary to fill the at
mosphere with smell. We have seen a
single wagon, containing large guam
tity, drive people from the street along
which it passed and we can readily I'M
derstand that by constant use the wa
CONS come to have a distinctive smell
entirely their own"

SPEED OF AN EARTHQUAKE.
Preliminary Tremors Travel at Rate
of 345 NLiles a Minnie.

n
of $40 Niles n Minute.
Speaking of the Indian earthquakes
of 1897, a London scientist says the vi
brations travelled to Europe, where they
were recorded at very many stations,
and no doubt would have been equally
well recorded atmany other places on the
surface OF our world had there been
provided suitable instruments. The
preliminary tremOrs, which are prob
ably waves of compression, travelled
through the world to reach Italy ana
other countries with an average rate OF
$40 miles minute, or kilometers a
secOnd-a rate which, it VIII be OBJ
served, is higher than that at which
similar movements can be transmitted
through glass or steel. The large waves,
which are probably quasi-elastic gravi-
tation waves, by travelling over the sur
face of tie earth, reached Europe at
rate of 113 miles a minute, or 2.9S kilo-
meters a second.
1t is likely that these latter disturb
ances reached stations in Europe by
travelling from their origin in two direc-
tons round the world. AS an indica-
ton of this, we are told that at several
of the European stations slight undula-
tons are to be seen on the seismograms
at times we should expect to find such
markings, had they Travelled from India
to Europe by the longest possible route,
From the period of these waves, which ia
taken at twenty-five seconds, and their
velocity, their length may be inferred;
an estimate of which is thirty-fouT
miles; while their height, as deducted
from their length, and the maximum
angle of fitting, is estimated at twenty
inches.
The slowness Of the movement was
such that they could not be felt, while
the magnitude was such that the unaid-
ed eye of an observer would not be
able to recognize any differential move
ments in his surroundings. The large
ness of these disturbances and their
great duration, extending over several
hours, preclude them from the category
of tremors, vibrations or microscisms.

Mrs. Burk was born in Princeton,
Mo-, in 1852. Her father, j. CANARY,
was lured to Montana in 1865 by the
hope of striking it rich" in the new
gold fields. During the five months
trip overland Martha became an expert
rifle shot and a daring rider. Shortly
after the family reached Montana the

Life-saving Politeness.

Patriotism and politeness are great
virtues, and a japanese physician,
Doctor Aoyama. owes his life to the
fact that he possessed them both in
high degree.
He had caught the plague, and was
dying for need of the food which, in
his delirium, he refused to take. His
nurse was in despair. but finally con-
ceived the idea of playing upon his
patriotism by filling glass with liquid
nourishment and then offering to drink
to the health of the mikado.
This was repeated UNTIL ardent
patriot as he was, the doctor felt that
he had honored his sovereign enough.
Then his politeness was appealed to,
the nurse proposing toast and re-
preaching the sick man for not Joining
it it. In this way the patients strength
was maintained until the delirium sub
sided and he became convalescent.

Where Pure Air Is Found

The chemical composition of the at
mosphere differs little, if at all, where
ever the sample be, taken; whether it be
OH the high Alps-orAt the surface of the
sea the relation of oxygen to nitrogen
and other constituents is the same. The
favorable effects, therefore of a change
of air are not to be explained by any
difference in the proportion of its gas
eOus constituents. One important diff
ference, however. is the bacteriologic-
al one. The air of high attitudes con-
tains no microbes. and is, in fact, ster-
lie, while near the ground and some 100
feet above it microbes are abundant.
In the air of towns and crowded places
not only does the micrObic impurity in
crease, but other impurities, such as
the products of combustion of coal, ac-
crue also. Several investigators have
found traces of hydrogen and certain
hydrocarbons in the air and especially
in the air of pine, oak and birch for
eSts. 1t is to these bodies, doubtless.
consisting of traces of essential oils, to
which the curative properties of GER
tain health resorts are ascribed.
Thus the locality of fir forest is said
to give relief in diseases of the respira-
tory tract. But. all the same, these
traces of essential oil and aromatic pro-
ducts must be counted, strictly speak
ing. as impurities, since they are no<
necessary constituents of the air. AS
recent analyses have shown, these
bodies tend to disappear in the air as
higher altitude is reached. until they
disappear altogether. 1t would seem.
therefore, that microbe. hydrocarbons
and entities other than oxygen and nit
rogen, are only incidental to the neigh
borhood of human industry, animal
life, damp and vegetation.

Hills to protect the miners and settlers
from the threatening Sioux.
The Inflated year 1876 found the fe-
male soldier with Custer, Miles and
Terry in the Big Horn country in north
ern Wyoming, where the Indians were
creating trouble. 1t was in this cam
paign that Calamity Jane" performed
a perilous feat of carrying dispatches
through a hostile country. The season
was cold and wet, and she had to ford
the Platte River near Fort Fetterman.
The exposure brought on pneumonia.
She was granted an indefinite furlough,
which may have served her lfe for a
few months later occurred the Custer
massacre.
Her next employment was as United
States mail carrier on the dangerous
route between Deadwood and Custer.
1t was during this period that William
Hickok ("Wild Bill) was assassinated
by Jack Mccall, a notorious desperate.
Calamity Jane" joined the posse in
pursuit of the murderer, and when he
was cornered in a butcher shop she
brought him to bay with a cleaver. Her
love for army life took her back into
the service, and she was assigned to
the Seventh Cavalry. She helped to
build Fort Mead, S. D., and in 1878 was
hOnorably discharged. Resuming petit
coats. she settled on ranch near Miles
City, Mont, but has since wandered
about from place to place in the West.
In 1884 she married Clinton Burk at Ell
Paso, by whom she had a daughter in
1886. The husband died in 1895. Mrs.
Burks ambition then was to give her
daughter a good education. Though
only 80 years of age, Calamity Jane"
bears the scars of a dozen bullets, and
the hardships of her life have broken
her down. For several years past she
gained q livelihood by selling book Of
her adventures.

RHEUMATISM

of the Blood-How 1t May
Be Permanently Cured.
From the Mirror, Manchester. N II.

-
Although rheumatism is one of the
most painful and dangerous of the
many troubles which affiict mankind,
it can be permanently cured if prop
er course of treatment is taken. The
real cause of rheumatism is the pres
ence of acid in the blood and tn,
only cure is to purify, nourish and
strengthen this vital fluid. The best
specific yet discovered for this purpose
is Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pal,

have effected in cases of this stubborn
disease is wonderful Mrs. S. ]
Loveland, of No. 1873 West Hancoc
