TEA AND THE TYPHOID BAorL1us.

An interesting observation on the eff
feet of an infusion of tea on the
growth of bacillus typhosus has been
recorded by an English army surgeon.
Major j. G. Mcknight, in the Journal
of the Royal Medical corps for October.
1906. He finds that the germ in pure
culture becomes greatly diminished in
numbers by an exposure of four hours
to the beverage. After twenty hours
it was impossible to recover it at all
from cold tea. The results obtained
are of interest from the authors stand
point with reference to the use of cold
tea as a substitute for water in sol
diers' canteens during active service
For even when water is sufficiently
sterilized. 1t is likely to become in
fected after sterilization, and bottles
which have once been filled with con
taminated water are capable of trans
hitting the infection for a long time.
Tea, it would seem, however will rend-
er any chance contamination with the
typhoid bacillus harmless within a few
hours. more general knowledge Of
this fact would soon serve to stimulate
tea drinking without a doubt. as peo-
pie are very apt to seize upon 9 meas
ure of this kind in order to secure
mental, if not material comfort If pre-
pared in proper manner tea con

extractives which are extracted only
after continued sleeping that the pro
ductive of harmful consequences. If
employed in the manner indicated, in
/ localities where typhoid fever is known
to be present, it may serve as one Of
the essential precautionary measures
to guard against infection by this
1 disease.-New York Medical Record.

QUESTION or SALARIES.

The question Of postmasters salaries
vii be brought up at the coming ses-
sion Of congress. At the present time
there are glazing inequalities in the
pay of the men who preside over the
different Offices. For example the
postmaster at New York receives
$4,000 a year and IS compelled TO de-
vote all his time to the work. In the
south and west especially, there are a
large number OF small cities, ranging
In population in the neighborhood Of
$4,000 where the postmasters receive
salaries running between $4,000 and
$4,000 a year. These postmasters de-
vote only part of their time to the
work and maintain outside business.
The intention Of congress is to equal
lie the matter by increasing the pay
Of the postmasters Of the big cities
by scaling down the remuneration en-
joyed by those Of the towns.-Marion
Leader.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Nov. 27.-Early prices
from London We're a surprise to the
majority OF traders. the quotations
sent over from that side quoted their
market one quarter TO one half higher
for American rails This induced
shorts in our market to cover their
contracts, the result being strong and
higher market. St Paul. Union Pa
cidc, Reading, Northern Pacific. copper
and Great Northern all showed sub
stantial gains over yesterdays final
prices.
The buying in st. Paul was probably
the best that has appeared In this
stock since the break from IS9 II
was surmised the largest part of it
was for Standard OIL interest and that
they would again resume the bull cam
paign and utilize st. Paul as the leader
in the market.
Reading was also in active demand
from the short sellers. 1t opened at
147 and advanced rapidly up to 14s15
The Frick contingent We're willing TO
help the advance along. their buying
gave further impetus TO the shorts
The action Of the Frick crowd in
Reading is very similar to that OF the
Standard oil in st. Paul. They come
to the support Of the market when
ever 1t becomes too weak and readily
supply the wants of the shorts when
ever the market becomes too strong,
in that way they are milking the street
on both sides of the market.
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
both scored advances from one to three
point. The early dissatisfaction over
the ore deal seems to have abated in a
measure and in its stead some Of the
more optimistic bulls on these two
securities can figure out abundant
benefits for the stock holders.
The money market continues strong.
call loans ranging as high as Z per
cent. Prospects for cheap money until
after the first of the year are not very
promising.
The market closed irregular with a
slight decline from the high prices
obtaining earlier in the session.

Between Trains
Getting Even.

Not few of our society swells make
it a business of getting even" Count
got even when he burnt a blister
on Mrs.---'s shoulder with his
cigarette by poking the business end
through a hole in her beck boo
blouse. One of the young roosters
said: I'm expected to dinner at Mrs.
So-and-so's next Monday night. You
shall hear from me if she tries the
double finger bowl racket. I want no
insinuations flung at me when 1 sit
down to eat" He made good his
word There was the usual crowd of
ten or twelve guests. and when the
anterprandial finger bowls were served
the youngster calmly rinsed his
knives, forks, and spoons in the spiced
water and dried them with a napkin.
1t nearly killed the matron, who has
been the laughing stock of the club
ever since-New York Press.

LEAVING HOME.

One great reason for the thousands
Of young men leaving home every year
is the fact that they are made more
welcome in other places than they are
at home. Ia many houses the parlor
is thrown open to almost any kind OF a
fellow who wears good clothes and a
pair of patent leather shoes and who
wants to call on the daughter, but the
furniture in the house is too good for
the boy to use, He has to come in by
the back way and clean his shoes be-
fore he crosses the threshold, and can
never entertain friends in the parlor
The parlor is too good for him But
as long as he has money he is welcome
at the saloons.-H. +. McClane, evan
