scraped the deck
And then her trouble had only be
gun. The whole process or secur-
ing her quarters for the voyage
across 20 plattsourg was a series OF
bows. SO often did Minnie bow that
it was feared by her keepe' that her
appearance in the plattsburg theatre
would be nothing but series Of
bows.
After bowling herself into the cen
ter of the boat near the freehold,
Minnie stretched herself ont inlo a
position that was about as comfort
able as crawling into cupboard and
staying there for a few hours.
What she thought about Dan
LoGmis' accommodations for ami
mails OF her size cannot be express
ed in words.
Every time Minnie grew tired o.
this position she would straighten up
bit adm then there would be a gen
eral upheaval as the upper deck of
the Ticonderoga swelled unde' the
strain. The passengers grew uh
easy at times as they thought Of
what might happen ii Minnie should
straighten up suddenly instead of
by degrees.
Once safely across and off the
boat, Minnie commenced process
of relaxation that has rarely been
witnessed. Stretching to her full
height, she snorted with JOY as she
felt the absence of any decks above.
Then. bowling right and left to the
onlookers ut the dock at plattsburg,
she was led to her quarters.
1t was the first time that a Lake
Champlain steamer had carried an
elephant.

in the streets for 10 or Is cents each,
but there will be no great eagerness
to get them hereafter in preference
to the old five-cent coins. The most
conspicuous thing on a coin should
be the mark of it's value. The big v
on the old nickel, with the word
cents" plainly stamped below it,
exactly served the purpose. Strangers
will often be at loss to determine
the value of the new coin. It may be
said that we do not make coins with a
view to serving foreigners, but it is
difficult to comprehend the idea that
prevails in the mint.
The latest atrocities in coinage un-
til the new nickel appeared were the
$40, $40 and S. gold pieces. These
are bad coins in design and execution.
OF course, they have escaped much
of the popular derision the new
nickels will arouse. because there are
not many gold pieces in circulation.
The car-fare coin is always in use.
It Is to be hoped that the old nickels
will be kept in circulation and not be
crowded out by this new thing with
the deeply indented surfaces, which is
not pleasing to look at while new and
shiny and will be an abomination
when it is old and duh.

Tobacco Prevents Cholera.

That tobacco smoke is inimical to
the activity Of micrO-organisms is
nothing new, but definite experiments
have recently been made, says the
Lancet, which show that tobacco
smoke rapidly destroys, in particular,
the comma bacillus of cholera.
A good many years ago it was re-
ported by the senior medical officer
of Greenwich Workhouse that the to-
bacco smoking inmates enjoyed COM
parative immunity from epidemics,
and tobacco smoking was believed to
have had disinfectant action in
cases of cholera and other infectious
Diseases.
Again, during a cholera epidemic at
Hamburg, it was reported that not a
single workman engaged in the cigar
factory in that city was attacked by
the disease. Later it was stated that
among a body of 5000 cigar makers
only eight cases and four deaths from
cholera occurred.
Subsequent experiments proved that
TOBACCO smoke destroyed the bacilli
OF Aslatic cholera as we'll as pneu-
monia, and there was some evidence
also that tobacco smoke was a pre-
ventive of some forms of nasal
catarrh
1t is interesting to note that pyridin
is official in the French pharma-
copoeia, and in France it has been en-
ployed in the form of inhalation in
asthma, emphyzema and angina pee
toris. and, mixed with peppermint, in
diphtheria.
Excessive tobacco smoking may, of
course, give rise to constitutional ef-
fects which diminish the resisting
power of the body to disease, in which
case it is probable the habit would
afford not only no protection, but an
opening for invasion.
