Kraus for Yellow Fever.

During the yellow fever epidemic at
New Orleans in 1878 a German medi-
cal student braved the terrors of the
plague to secure the advantage of ex-
perience, says the Los Angeles Ex-
press. Doctors were few and his serv-
ices were gladly accepted. He had
ideas and many were his experiments.
Treating a Hollander at the hospital,
DR.. Hans decided that his patient was
about to die, SO he prescribed as last
solace to the expiring man a huge
plate of sauerkraut. He watched the
sick man devour the delicacy 50 dear
to the palate Of our friends across the
sea. To Hans unbounded amaze
ment on his next inspection he found
the Hollandcr sitting up in bed read
ing a newspaper, well on the road to
recovery.
Jerking forth his notebook, he jotted
down: "R. Sauerkraut will cure
Dutchman Of yellow fever" Proceed
ing to another ward he found a Span
lard in bad way. Procuring another
plate Of saue-kraut. he babe the
patient eat it and live-but speedily
the Spaniard died. Reaching for his
notebook, Hans added to the pre-
scription, "but will kill Spaniard."
One Of the three doctors who were
prominent in treating hundreds Of yell
low fever patients at Jacksonville,
Fla, during that city's last visitation
Of the scourge remarked afterwards,
when asked for his favorite prescrip-
ton: Roll the patient in hot blan-
kets. Sweat it out Of him If that
fails take him out to the sand hills
hospital and administer with the ham,
mer one hard blow upon the temple.
That is both effective and humane"

Bird Travel Falling on.

"A heavy falling of in bird travel
is noticeable of late" said Mrs. Louise
Schulz, Union depot matron, this morn
ing. II am trying to reason out the
cause Of it."
Bird travel?" asked the one ad-
dressed. Birds migrate by wing and
not on railroad tickets. What do you
mean?"
The birds did not pay fare, but
they Travelled by rail extensively, just
the same" the matron replied. "At
one time nearly every woman that
boarded or disembarked from a rail-
road train carried in addition to three
grips two or three cages Of parrots
or canaries. No woman seemed to
think Of travelling without bird cage
or two. Now a bird cage Is seldom
seen. Good sense, probably, has ban
ished the birds to the care Of the
housekeeper or to the boarding aviary
while their mistress avels."-Kansas

stroyed a great part of it, the owner
got alarmed and removed it to the

A few weeks later we all were waiting for

Sanu Christmas Carols

The male members of the choir of St. Paul's M. E. Church followed the good old English custom of singing Christmas carols in various parts of the city on Christmas eve and night. They called at many residences and business places and were everywhere welcomed with deep attention and great appreci' ation. Among the residences visited was that of Jos. H. Hamill, and the SILVER BELT wishes to thank the members for their sweet music and the kindly courtesy of the call.
