Fish and Leprosy.

A discussion Of leprosy was held at a
recent meeting of the Medico- Chirurgi-
cal Society Of London, the special point
discussed being the etiology of the disease.
According to report cabled to the New
York Times, DR.. Hansen of Bergen con-
tended that leprosy was entirely contag-
ious, and that to prove Hutchinson's
theory it would be necessary to discover
the bacillus of leprosy in the cured fish.
He declared the people of Norway were
now eating more fish than ever before.
yet leprosy was Disappearing because Of
its strict segregation. He said that sew
eral Norwegian lepers had emigrated to
the United States and that their de-
scendants were unleprcus. which went
to prove that leprosy was not hereditary,
but simply contagious. DR.. Thin also
supported the contagion theory. Jona-
than Hutchinson, however, stoutly reit-
Grated his belief, which he said had been
strengthened by his recent researches in
South Africa, that leprosy resulted from
eating badly-cured fish. He declared his
faith that the leprous bacillus would
soon be found in the fish, and he reas-
serted his reasons from his experience
for not believing the disease to be con.
taglous.-Medical Record.

Almost Alive.

1t seems singular. but to a person who
is associated with engines all the time
they almost seem alive. This is on ae-
count Of the sensitive machinery about
them. You can't any more say what
kind of time an engine is going to make
when you start out with it than you can
tell how a race horse is going to run.
Some days when you take the machine
out it will worry along, and you can't
get it to running right during the whole
trip and then at other times it will starr
off perfectly smooth and you will have
no trouble whatever. The weather has
much to do with the way an engine
works, When the atmosphere is damp
cry works much harder than in dry, warm
weather when the oil remains thin. Then
there is the difference in coal, some en-
gines will burn one kind better than an
other. And the way the wind blows also
has much to do with the speed that is
made.-1ndianapolis Journal. 49,,

Perfume from 1mpurity.

Mr.. Kittredge says that while the:
choicest perfumes placed Oh the market
are made from oils and others extract
ed from flowers there are many others
which are artifcially made out of bad
smelling elements.
The fusel oil obtained in the distiIla-
ton of spirits has an odor that is pc
culiarly disagreeable, yet it is used after
treatment with proper acids and oxidiz=
and the oil of pears; and, in addition,
the oil Of grapes and the oil Of cognac
are little more than fusel oil diluted.
Oil OF pineapple is best made by the
action .of putrid cheese on sugar or by
distilling rancid butter with alcohol and
sulphuric acid.

LEFT SKULL TO ELDER BOOTH.
Horse Thief's Contribution to Grave
Scene in "Hamlet.n

The elder Booth acquired a skull for
use in Hamlet in an odd manner, ac-
cording to a story in Seen and Heard.
The tragedian, somewhat in his cups,
was travelling near Louisville, when he
took horse from field and rode off
with it. Horse stealing at that time
was a capital offense in Kentucky, and
the greatest horse thief was man
named Fontaine. Booth was soon over
taken, and when asked where he got the
animal, said:
II captured him in a field back here"
.1ndeed!' said one of the farmers.
And what might your name be?'
MY name is Fontaine,'' said Booth,
without smile.
,,t + Contain s{aculated both men sim
man man we want. Come back to town
Certainly" said Booth, in the most
good natured manner: and, wheeling the
horse, he rode back TO Louisville with
his captors.
The city Jail was then i'll charge of
Col. Thomas, who knew Booth well.
I'VE have brought you Fontaine, the
horse thief, and claim the reward" said
the farmers proudly, addressing the
"Where is hep they were asked.
Booth was produced. ''Why, what does
this mean, Mr.. Booth?' asked Thomas.
II haven't the slightest idea,' said the
great tragedian, with the utmost simple
ity. Il met these two men with this
horse and they insisted upon giving it to
me. l guess they stole it. / think one
of them is Fontaine''
The rustics were about to be locked
up, when, by the most singular coip-
cidence, man rushed to the prison door
on horseback and shouted out the ill.,
been taken into custody. Booth made
Fontaines acquaintance in Jail, and the
horse thief, who was executed later, left
by will his skull to the actor.

not walk without the help of friends. All
my joints were stiff, and l had to be
wheeled about the house in an invalid's
chair. Physicians medicines, bath, etc.
etc, were all in vain, but Paine's Celery
Compound practically cured me, and
am now able to walk around and do my
house work"
