Occupation and Tuberculosis.

The influence of occupation as a
cause of consumption is shown by DR..
J. M. French in the Medical Exam
iner.
At least four classes of employ
ments ments have tendency to favor
the development of tuberculosis.
They are:
1. Sedentary employments in H.
ventilated apartments. involving con-
finement In impure air. and other un-
wholesome conditions. This class Of
occupations is typihed by the So
called swet-shops for the manufacture
OF various articles Of clothing.
2. Employments which necessitates
the inhalation of irritating dust and
noxious vapors. Such are those of
stone-cutters, bleachers. matchmak.
ers. fils-cutters. grinders. engravers.
etc.
3. Employments which involve the
overuse or abuse of certain muscles.
These are athletes, prize fighters,
gymnasts. wrestlers. professional bi-
cycle riders. ball players. ETC.. a large
proportion of whom die eventually of
phthisis.
4. Employments which involve I'M
due familiarity with intoxicants.
These are those connected with man
ufacture and sale of wine. beer and
the various classes of alcoholics.
Tatham's tables show that. taking the
average mortality from consumption
at one hundred. that of publicans is
one hundred and forty. of brewers one
hundred and forty-eight and of bar
tenders two hundred and fifty-seven.
Overcoming Hereditary tuberculosis.
Much is being said nowadays re-
specting the out-of-door treatment of
tuberculosis, disease which, while
rarely directly transmissible by hered-
ity, is one the predisposition to which
is in the highest degree hereditary
1t has been clearly shown by numer-
Gus experiments in various parts of
the United States that out-of-door life
with regular hygienic habits. ire
spective of altitude or special climat-
ic advantages, is capable of so aiding
the natural powers of the body as to
effect a cure of this formidable NAL
ady without the use of drugs of any
sort.
tuberculosis is disease of civiliza-
tion. 1t scarcely exists among saw
ages who live in the primitive state,
but quickly appears among such peo-
pie wheR the habits of civilization are
adopted, especially the indoor life.
The South American monkey and the
North American Indian alike fall vic
tins to this disease when shut away
from the sunlight and active exercise
out of doors.
The time is not far distant when
every large city will find it necessary
to provide conveniences for the an.

Their New Corset.

Women are to no longer wear the
peculiarly low corset. They owe the
change to the Marie Antoinette fash
ions. The straight. high stomacher
front is required to give these bodices
the straight line required from the
bust line to the deep point. Though
built on Queen Anne lines. these cor
sets are luxurious, with no torturing
wood and iron, such as that monarch
and her ladies' endured. The straight
front effect is thus retained. only 1t IS
elongated. And there are the support
ers! It is said that an old corset Of
the day OF Queen Anne actually shows
traces of these same supporters.

RothschlId Declined Fortune.

French branch of the family. recently
received curious legacy. This was
the fortune of an ancient beggaT
named Abraham Fidler. who died in a
garnet at Nice, and was found to pos
sess 100000 francs. He bequeathed
it to the other millionaire on the plea
that money must seek money" Baron
Rothschild was not of the opinion, in
this case at any rate, and he pro-
ceeded to hunt up the lamented Fid-
ler's relations, three of whom were
found at Odesia and fourth at Brook
lyn. The legatee divided the million
and a quarter among them.

Health Observations Abroad.
One of the most pitiful sights in
England is to see young women act

stand there, shoulder to shoulder with
a crowd of coarse, half-drunken men.

toxicating liquor. Unfortunately, this
painful sight is not at all rare, and 1t
is quite common to see drunken wom-
en- reeling about in the streets. What
sad commentary on our modern CIV
iliZation.
In Copenhagen 1t is the custom to
dress young schoolgirls so that their
arms are almost or entirely bare. even
In weather when Americans appre-
ciate their overcoats. This practice
necessarily chills the blood, and tends
to produce congestion of the internal
organs, and undoubtedly lays the
foundation for colds. pneumonia and
tuberculosis.
tuberculosis Is making sad havoc
among the urban population of Nor

plague is decimating this once hardy
race. Sedentary life. indoor confine-
ment and defective ventilation are
undoubtedly the most prolific causes.
for fifty per cent of the tubercular
cases make a satisfactory recovery
when they are sent to some outdoor
sanitarium: and what will cure con-
sumptive would certainly have pre-
vented the onset of the disease.
The liquor curse is undermining the
physical stamina Of the Swedish race.
Liquor drinking among the working
classes is almost universal. One
third of their population die before
the age of twenty-one. and one-fourth
of those who live, are rejected from
military service on account of phys.

Choked Up n River While Travelling

1.-THE prairie dog migration from

ing July, 1874, eclipsed anything OF
that sort witnessed by white men In

1t. millions of the frisky little bark
ers must have been in quest OF new
pastures or perhaps feared the ap-
preaching legions OF home seekers
would surely exterminate the dogs and
pillow up the dog towns. The prairie
dog. migration from the north to the
southwest lasted six days during the
month of July, 1874. The travelling
dogs while crossing the Red river in
terfered to n great extent with the
cattle that came to that stream to
quench their thirst Some cowboys
that were on the banks OF Red river
during the time when the prairie dogs
swan across say that the stream was
chock full of the little rascals for
many miles up and down the river.
The thirsty cattle were either unable
or unwilling to stick their mouths into
the water through the moving mass OF
living prairie dogs. The cowboys were
getting ready TO drive the furnishing
stock to a distant stream, but the Red
river became clear of the repelllng
swimmers after blocking the useful
drinking place for about a week. II
was generally supposed that the dogs
halted when they had reached the,

The lower part came down to The
