THE TOWER OF ST. MARKS.
why the Collapsed CampaniIe Was
So Distinctive.
Philadelphla Times.

Philadelphia Times.
There is scarcely another structure in
the world so universally familiar as the
campanile Of St. Marks at Venice. No
other city has been so frequently depicted
as has Venice, and in any general view OF
the Bride of the Adriatic the campanile
is the conspicuous point against the sky.
Ii is so essential a feature in this familiar
picture that we can hardly imagine Venice
without 1t. and its sudden collapse will be
felt loss TO the whole civilized world
as marring one Of the worlds great monu-
ments
1t was the type of a class quite numerous
in Italy. and there are other towers OF
more individual Importance. But not even
Giotto's campanile at Florence bears so
significant relation 10 a great group OF
architectural magnifcence as did this four
square tower that rose straight out OF the
pavement at the corner OF St Mark s,
pointing heavenward above all the gilded
domes and the palace roofs and casting its
thin shadow over the most brilliant and
beautiful and most famous public square
in Christendam. For thousand years IL
has stood there: the bells have sounded
from it at morning. noon and night. the
pigeons have circled about it, and all
Venice has gathered at its foot. And yes
terday il tumbled down and filled the plaza
with its ruins
That Venice is built upon hundred
isles" which are mainly reclaimed marshes,

anxiety to the government. Engineering
works Of considerable Importance have
been undertaken TO preserve this
structure, and the Doge's Palace. adjoin-

AFRAID TO TELL TRUTH.
Many Die of Tuberculosis Because
Doctors VIII Not Alarm Patients.

New York Tribune.
ITEMS of thousands of people die because
the physicians have not the moral courage
to say TO them, This is tuberculosis, and
now is the time tC take precautions.
SAID DR.. Herman M. 8iggs, medical othcer
of the health department, in an address
yesterday before the Summer School OF
Philanthropy. in the Charities building.
People so dread TO be told that they have
tuberculosis that physicians are fearful OF
when any one talks to you about
chronic bronchitis and continued colds, be
sure that in majority of cases there is
back of the trouble a tuberculosis focus.
When a cough continues for more than six
or eight weeks, in large majority of cases
a tuberculosis focus is at the root or the
matter. Then is the time TO establish the
fact, for then IL is easily durable, and later
II may not be-"
DR.. Biggs declares that tuberculosis is not
only preventable but durable, and that II
Is simply a question of how early a dag
nosis is made. OF all diseases 1t is the
most insidiOuS.
He thought it a misfortune that tuber-
culosis is so often classed in the popular
mind as a contagious disease. 1t is infec-
tiOus and communicable. he said. but with
proper precautions tuberculosis patient
may live in the same room for days and
even years with a healthy person without
danger to the latter.
The source of danger is from the bacilli
thrown out from the respiratory tract. In
advance cases as many as 5000 000. 900 bacili
are thrown out in a single day These
germs inhaled as dust and lodge in
different tracts in the system. If condi-
lions favorable TO growth they multiply
there.
But the general insusceptibility to tuber-
culOsis is very great. Ii is only at certain
times and under certain conditions that
large proportion of the people are suscept-
1ble. 1t is quite as true that vast ma
jority of the human race are susceptible at
certain times. when, for instance resist
ance Is decreased through grip, overwork
or run down conditions. Susceptibility is
much greater when. in a large city, the
air contains enormous numbers of other
heterogeneous.
Tuberculosis is absolutely preventable,
and its preventability is simply putting into
effect simple rules Of conduct. 1t is a
question solely of scrupulous cleanliness in
regard to expectoration and the disinfection
of surroundings which have once housed the
disease"

THE CHOP sUEY FAD.
How the National Dish of the Chinese
Is Prepared.

New York Evening Post.
Chop suey, the national dish of China for
a least twenty-five centuries, bids fair to
become a standard food in this country.
There are some sixty Chinese restaurants
scattered over the different boroughs of
Greater New York whose chief attraction is
this popular composition, and several
American restaurants have endeavored to
take advantage Of its popularity by adding
it to their daily bill of fare. There is d
ridiculous amount of mystery concerning
the dish. II is simple, economical, and
easily made. The general formula is as
follows: One pound of moderately lean
fresh pork, cut into pieces a quarter of
an inch thick. half an inch wide, and an
inch long; two chicken livers, chopped up
to the size of dice, two chicken gizzards.
cut into slices the size of nickel. and
each ring pinked with the lines almost
meeting in the center.
The heat of cooking causes the fbres to
shrink. and converts the circle into a many
pointed star. A quarter of a pound of cell
cry cut into sivers, a quarter of a pound
of canned mushrooms, and quarter of
pound or green peas, chopped string beans,
asparagus tips. bean sprouts. or satisfy.
These are thrown into frying pan over a
hot fire, covered with cup of water. four
tablespoonfuls OF peanut oil, olive oil. or
onion, half a Glove of garlic, grated salt
white pepper. and red pepper.
If the fire is hct enough. these will cook
in five minutes. The contents of the pan
should be stirred TO prevent burning, and
the moment the water boils out fresh
water should be added in small quantities
TO prevent frying. The dish should be
served promptly, and is not only palatable
but wholesome and easily digested. In
place of pork, mutton can be employed
while chicken liver and giZzard may be
replaced by those OF the turkey. Some
Chinese cooks use the Indian soy. which is
sweeter. The effect can be initiated by
adding a teaspoonful of Worcestershire
sauce and another of brown sugar or a
teaspoonful of molasses. An agreeable
modification results from the use of as
paragus tips along with the other vege-
table ingredients. while the Singapore
variety is obtained by stirring in a table
spoonful of curry paste In the Chinese
restaurants the cost varies from 10 TO %
cents plate. the more expensive dish con-
tanning fair amount of the best imported

Census shows More of the Latter than
the Former.
PHILADELPHIA Times.


The United States Census officials have
undertaken a computation which, if it be
reliable reveals a starting condition. The
figures they have gathered indicate that
there are in this country 6726.779 bachelors
of twenty years or older and but e. 1876, 446
spinsters of the same age. a preponderance
in favor of the men of more than 100000
This showing on mans side is so eXtraOrdi-
nary and so entirely contrary 10 the accept
ed view OF the case that il makes him seem
creature much less culpable than he was
all along supposed TO be. The blame which
he receives because of his supposed indispo-
sition to marry is not fully deserved, since
the source of supply Of manageable wom-

There are 2,500,OO bachelors for whom ma
ture has made no disposition and rather
than deprive their fellows of marital bliss
some 400O.O00 more do not enter the compe-
tition for the few prizes which our popula-
ton provides.
Hotel verandas and dancing floors at
summer resorts have long told a different
tale. 1t is often said that women expert

but because OF natural obstacles.

Utah the ratio Is about two 10 one: in the
Dakotas three 10 one: in Montana eight 10

about fourteen 10 one. Even in New York
there are only 566224 women for 7O9. l26 men.

suggest that the census takers may have
made their mistake.

Soldiers Opposed to Long Duty.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Aug. 9.-The likeli-

some time has led the officers and men of
