LIME DUST AND CONSUMPTION.
Experiment with Tuberculosis Pa
tientS Shows Effect of Dust
to He Injurious.

Those who have made O study of tu-
berculosis in cities declare that the dust
of houses, schools and street cars is
liable to contain living bacili, which
come from the careless splitting of in
valids. The occupation of such rooms
or vehicles when the dust is disturbed
las in ~sweeping) is condemned as un-
sanitary, not to say dangerous. 1t ap-
pears, however, says a scientific ex-
change, that there are other kinds OF
dust, from the inhalation of which less
mischief is to be feared.
Reckzch, a German expert, says that
the statistics in lime producing districts
show that pulmonary tuberculosis is
rare, and that sometimes when present
It's course is favorably affected. Various
authors ascribe this beneficial effect to
different features attending the occupa-
ton of lime burning. Such are, an eff
feet of the inhaled lime dust in facilitat-
ing calciflcRtion Of suppurating foci, the
dryness of ,the inh2ledair and the deeper
respiration Nit makes necessary, the
warmth Of the inspired air, which con-
tairs no tubercle bacilli, and the more
metabolism it causes.
In order to determine the effect of the
lime dust suspended in the air, the au-
thor caused eight tIbereulous patients
to inhale air charged with the dust By
suspended bags filed with DOW
dered lime. At first the i~nhalations
we're carried on for ave minutes Gaily.
but the time and frequency were grad
ually increased. Tho results were with

READING THE FUTURE.
How Fortune-TeIIers work Their
Craft and Peer Into the Hidden
Mysteries OF Life.

Ever since Saul proved the incon-
sistency of man by rushing off to con
suit the Witch of Endor after taking
severe measures to eXterminate witch
craft, there has been universal crav-
ing to pierce the veil that hides from
us the good and evil of the future"
says a writer in the Ladies' Field
"The craving for the knowledge of
what the future holds is turned to ac-
count by thousands of persons in
every generation, who claim super
natural powers of vision and prophecy.
Astrology is perhaps the most i'm
pressiye form of so-called 'divination'
possibly there is something inspir-
ing in the thought of ones destiny be-
ing guided by star. But there is moth
ing sublime about greasy pack of
cards in the stutfy parlor of house
in dingy street, which is the environ
ment of the modern sybil. Yet every
day her rooms are crowded with silly
women, whose carriages wait round
the corner while they themselves sit
shivering in rows for their turn to
have their destinies revealed to them.
They don't really believe in it, of course
they will tell you laughingly-'but
it is such fun, and she does really tell
you the most extraordinary things
which, Of course, she does when you
have given her the clew. After having
told your character and thoroughly
taken in your characteristics at the
same time, the fortune teller invari-
ably tells you to ask any question you
like This request, if aceeded to, nat
urally shows her basis to work upon.
She will occasionally go wrong. but If
you correct her she win speedily get
back on the right tack, and with lit
tie assistance, which the credulous
generally give her, she succeeds in
telling you exactly what you expected,
and you go away feeling that she is
indeed marvellous person"

PRICE TAGS ON CLOTHES.
A Peculiar Italian Custom which
wouId Seem Well suited 40
some Americans.

A peculiar custom of the peasantry
in remote parts of Italy, according to
a correspondent, is the wearing of price
tags on new dresses and suits of clothes
While In most countries the custom OBJ
tains of promptly removing such indi-
cation of the purchase price the mo-
ment garment is bought, rural folk
in Italy tale pains to sew them on the
more securely, in order that they may
not drop off accidentally This prac-
tice is INDUCED in by the more prosper
GUS peasantry, corresponding to the
well-to-do farmer class of this country.
The observer of social conditions, re-
marl;s an American exchange, may we'll
ASK why this custom of wearing price
marks on clothes has not found favor
in this country. where ostentation on
the part OF our new rich" runs riot.
Many a woman OF wealth is heard to
complain that her maid servant, on
much smaller outlay by wearing cheap
but almost perfect limitations Of the
original. can present as fashionable an
appearance as herself, The plush gar
ment Of modish design often looks as
wei as the sealskir costing ten times
as much; paste ornaments cannot be
told from diamonds, except by the ex-
rert Complaint of the same character
Is made by the man who patronizes an
expensive tailor. The great improve
ments effected by the manufacturers OF
ready-made clothing hare made II pos
sible for the s16-a-week clerk to APP
pear as we'll dressed as his 81 ,000-a-week
employer All this is. of course. most
distressing to the person who wishes
to get the worth Of his or her money.
What is the use of wearing expensive
clothes II ones neighbors do not appre-
ciate them? The universal wearing OF
price tags would remove this difficulty,
end the woman with new 500 gown
or $50 hat would derive twice tie salts
faction from wearing them that she does
at present-that is. provided her neigh
bors were wearing nothing better. One
danger. to be sure, would be the incen-
tive TO prevarication, 1t would be SO
easy 70 change the figures. But any
thing would be better than running the
ris''. as at present. of having a new
500 gown mistaken for last years

continued Mr.. Sproule, as he picked up a
Nevada newspaper and read: 1.-The

the shortness of funds in the Storey

found it necessary to cut off all expenses
possible. After the first of next month
there will be no more street lights on the

be reduced to two men and the one po-
liceman now doing duty at night will be
dispensed with. Poor old Virginia! 1t

the town had population of 10000 per-

dilapidation. In those days it was the
liveliest place in the west, bar none.
