NATURE'S GREAT
Let the Sunlight Iteach Every Corner
llouso and Destroy the Germr.
Nature's great dlnlnfvrtant In tun
light. It ti u rnont Interesting fact
that thin wonderful Unfit, which pro
motes the growth of useful plants add
sustains tnlml lift, at the same time
destroys by It very brightness all
sort of germ which are brought In
contact with It. H in this fart akin
which rc 11 (lorn tha earth Inhabitable.
Germ devckip with such marvelous
rapidity that they would quickly over
whelm u by their very numbers It
not constantly destroyed by the sun.
A little commutation will readily ahow
thla. Some germs are capable of auch
rapid multiplication that they may
double every fifteen minutes under
favorable conditions of temperature
and food supply. Estimate the num
ber of perms which might be pro
duced In single day of twenty-four
hours, or nlnety-slx doublings. The
number would be more than thirty
two thousand billion billions, or suf
ficient to cover eighty thousaad
square miles a foot deep, or fill a
apace of more than fifteen cubic
mile. The Increase of a minute or
ganism occupying a cubic space of
not more than one twenty-thousandth
of an Inch to such prodigious magni
tude Is beyond comprehension, and
practically cannot occur; for while
the (term may (trow at this Immense
rapidity for a short time, the poisons
which It produces become destructive
to itself. The material upon which It
feeds Is also exhausted, so that Its
growth ceases.
Doubtless all have noticed the fact
that muld grows durtng the night and
In dark, damp cellars. Bright sun
light quickly destroys germs, mold,
and other parasitic organisms. Dif
fused daylight does not act nearly so
rapidly, but accomplishes In the
course of a few hours what bright
sunlight Is capable of doing in a few
minutes. It is clearly evident, then,
that in order that our hous-es abould
be kept free from germs, they, like
our bodies, should be made full of life.
The shutters should be opened, the
curtains raised, and the light admit
ted to every room In the house, clos
ets Included, so that the disinftictlng
power of light may be eiercised In
every nook and corner of the dwell
ing. 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 tour classes of employ
ments ments have a tendency to favor
the development of tuberculoids.
Tbey are:
1. Sedentary employments In Ill
ventilated apartments, involving con
finement in impure air, and other un
wholesome conditions. This class of
occupations is typified by the o
cailed swet-bops 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, file-cutters, grinders, engravers,'
etc.
2. Employments which Involve the
overuse or abuse of certain muscles.
These are athletes, prize fighters,
gymnasia, wrestlers, professional bi
cycle riders, ball players, etc.. a large
proportion of whom die eventually of
phthisis.
4. Employments which Involve un
due familiarity with Intoxlcanta.
These are those connected with man
ufacture and sale of wine, beer and
the various classes of alcoholics.
Tatham'a 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 fcrty-elght and of bar
tenders two hundred and fifty-seven.
Overcoming Hereditary Tuberculosis.
Much Is belug said nowadays re
specting the out-of door treatment of
tuberculoids, a disease which, while
rarely directly trananiisslble by hered
ity, la one tha predisposition to which
Is In the highest decree hereditary.
It has been clearly shown by numer
ous experiments In various parts of
the United Stale thst out-of door lite
with regular byrlenic habits. Irre
spective of altitude or spet-UI climat
ic advantages, is capable ot ao aiding
the natural powers ot the body as to
effect cure of this formidable mal
ady without the use of drug of any
sort.
Tuberculosis is a disease of rtvl'lra
tlon. It scarcely exists among sav
ages who live In the primitive state,
but quickly appears among such peo
ple when the habits of civilization are
adopted, especially the Indoor life.
The South American monkey and the
North American Indian alike fall vic
tims to this dlaeaae when but away
from the sunlight and active exercise
out of doors.
The time Is not far distant when
every larp: city will find It necesmry
to provide conveniences for the ap
plication of this simple curative meas
ure, not only for the purpose of rescu
ing the victims of pulmonary tuber
culosis from the certalu fate which
awaits them, but as an essen'lal
measure for protecting thu public
health.
Health Observations Abroad.
One of the most pltltul sight In
fCugland Is to see young women act
ing as barmaids la the public driuk
Ing plsces, and to see women elbow
ing their way to the bar and then
land there, shoulder to shouldur with
DISINFECTANT.
f the j
k
a crowd of coarse, half drunken men,
and with them partake freely of In
toxicating liquor. Unfortunately, thla
painful sight Is not at all rare, and It
is quite, common to see drunken wom
en reeling about In the streets. Whst
a sad commentary on our modern civ
ilisation. In Copenhagen It Is the custom to
dress young schoolgirls so that their
arms are almost or entirely bare, even
In weather when Americana appre
ciate their overcoats. Thla practice
necessarily chills the blood, and tends
to produce congestion of the Internal
organs, and undoubtedly lays the
foundation for colda, pneumonia and
tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis la making sad havoc
among the urban population ot Nor
way. It is pitiful to note how this
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 a 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
ical disqualifications.
An American Puril.
Dr. I.orenx, of bloodless surgery
fame, cannot understand how Amer
icans enjoy fair health on a diet that
would depopulate any other country.
"The pies, puddings, saucea and in
numerable other dishes, most ot
which are unbealthful in tbe extreme,
partaken ot by young and old alike
in America, have caused me to won
der." nays Dr. Lorenx. "that the peo
ple are not physical and constitution
al wrecks."
The secret is to be found in the
simple, hardy lives of the forefathers
of the present generation. Their vig
orous health has bestowed upon the
grandchildren wonderful constitution
al vigor. But the change from the
simple to the luxurious Is working
havoc. The rising generation have
squandered the constitutional capital
bequeathed to them and are rapidly
becoming physical bankrupts. A halt
must be called and the simple habits
tesunied or the prophecy of Dr. Lo
renx will surely be realized.

THOUSAND-MILK RIDE
LONG TRIP, WITH HEALTH AND
PLEASURE THS OBJECTS.
Correspondent Write of Journey In
Teas and Mexico With a Party as
Ouesta of the Southern Paelflo Railroad,
fillson Willed, special correspond
ent of IPslle't Weekly, writes enter
tainingly of a thousand mile horseback
hunt in Texas and Mexico with a party
as guests of the Southern Taclflc rail
road. The members of tbe party rep
resented twelve different states. At
Sablnas, Mexico, be aaya:
"Over half of tlio thousand-mile Jour
ney has been completed and the fel
lows who are here for their health are
now hard as nails; those who came
along with an appetite for pleasure
are well nigh satiated; and the sports
men have brought In, day after day,
incredibly huge bags of ducks, geese,
rabbits, squirrels, and no end of small
game, not to mention big hauls ot
deer, bear, wild turkeys and fish. All
of which Is due to about tbe most
healthful region In the Union; to a
section cf country where pleasurable
diversion Is eternally at hand, and to
a territory that Is literally a sports
roan's paradise hitherto untrod and tin
shot and unftshed."
Mr. Willett bestows a deserved
eulogy on the splendid hospitality ot
the Southern Pacific and the hearty
welcome accorded the party in south
ern cities from New Orleans onward.
Visitors to southwest Texas will not
need to be told of the really marvelous
work done by the Southern Pacific in
building tip that section of tbe coun
try. Mr. Willett says:
"Then we again boarded our train
and railroaded on for the most of a
day. through a country in which the
Southern I'aclflc has caused a blade of
grass not to speak of stalk of corn,
cane or sugar, and blossom of cotton
to flourish where none grew before.
"Thirty miles farther Inland on the
San Diego river we made our first
camp In Mexico. After that our
ramps were from twenty to fifty miles
apart. And thus we have progressed
on our thousand-mile horseback hunt.
passing through strange villages and
seeing queer peon customs, visiting tbe
headquarters of mighty ranches of a
million acres, where the owners escort
ed us to the front door with alx hun
dred white horses, or six hundred
black horses, or six hundred bays, as
the case might be, and having all
sorts of diversions of big hunts, and
witnessing many kinds of unique
sights in primitive and quaint old Mex
ico.
"Our first three or four camps were
made on one ot the largest ranches in
the world the Trevlno ranch of l.ooo.
000 acres. Of this great ranch as
big as a New England atate as on all
the other great ranches we have trav
ersed, the Southern larlfic manage
ment obtained ail hunting and fishing
privileges.
"It was on the great Trevlno ranch
that the heal'.hseekera ot the party
first discovered that they were get
ting in Mexico exactly what they had
come for a new constitution. The
sportsmen of the party, too, were out
late and up early on "the chase that
pleaseth." Tbe motto always wss to
kill only such game, however plentiful
It might be, as was actually needed for
consumption at our table, for the
Southern Pacific stands for the kill
ing cf game for food only."
Many Interesting stories of the dis
trict traversed are related by Mr. Wil
lett. He concludes:
"Thus on this trip every promise
made by tbe Southern Partite railroad
has been kept to the letter Just a
similar promises will be kept on the
second annual thousand mile horse
back hunting party already talked of
for next year."
The Fingerless Man Eaplalns.
He was a man ot 40, with, the three
last fingers of his right hand missing,
and when he saw that the man on his
right was looking and wondering he
said:
"You have been In a too, haven't
you?"
"Oh. yes."
"You have noticed bones lying about
on the floor of the lion's rage?"
"Certainly."
"And you have put your hand
through the bars of the rage after oue
of them to see what tbe lion would do.
"No, I never did any torn fool thing
tike that. Any man of common sense
knows thst the lion would lite him.
So that's tbe way you lost )otir fin
gers. Is it?"
"No. not exactly."
"How not exactly?"
"Why, I got the bone out ell right,
and the lion only grinned at me, but
next day. while sawing wood on a ma
chine, I got these finger In the way
if the old saw and tbey were nipped
off. Next time you go to the zoo try it
on. You don't know how easy you tan
get the bones out."
The Culllnan Diamond.
Speculation Is rife In mining circles
as to what might have been the fate of
the Cullman diamond had It not been
picked up on the surface.
A stone of tfiat magnitude. If carried
to the washing machine, would not
u through the cylinder, and might
conceivably be picked out and care
lessly thrown aside with the discard
ed lumps. If. on the other hand. It
leached the rollers. It would Inevita
bly be smashed Into several pieces.
