Th* Naaum of Purses- A Pie* for Spittoons- Th* Interesting Conrln slons of Dr. Cornet, * Patient Cor* man Investigator. In a late t\>rtnightly Professor Tyndall lias a very important article on “The Origin. Pro|>agation, and Prevention of Phthisis.*’ It is a condensed account of the result of the discoveries of Dr. Cor net, a colleague of Dr. Koch, at the Im perial Sanitary Institute at Berlin. What Dr. Coruet has discovered, says the fte view of Reviews, practically amounts* to this, tliat the tubercle bacilli, or the in fective matter of consumption, is almost entirely propagated by the conversion of the sputum of consumptive patients into dust, which is afterward breathed by people. Hence, the true way to prevent the spread of consumption is to induce all consumptive patients to use a spittoon and never to expectorate at large. Dr. Coruet found that the consump live germ retained its virulence for at lenstaix months. The dust of the room in which a consumptive patient has lived contains the seeds of the disease, which, when taken into the lungs of a healthy man, may produce consumption. The real cause of consumption running in Families is not because it is inherited, hut because there is family infection, due to the breathing of the dust of the dried sxpectoration of the consumptive patient. The room in which a consump Live patient has lived, and who has not used a spittoon, the walls and all the fur- j niture are full of virulent bacilli, whereas j the dust in rooms where the spittoon is ' constantly used is absolutely free from : Lite deadly gertn. The first law, therefore, which must be (aid down for consumptive patients is, never use a pocket handkerchief and : □ever spit on the floor, and always | and everywhere use a proper spit toon. Dr. Cornet would have spittoons iu all offices, workshop, all public build iugs, corridors, and staircases. In fact, I to read Dr. Cornet’s suggestions, we *eetu to be within measurable distance ; from the time in which, if a consumptive patient is found spitting upon the floor Dr into his handkerchief, he will promptly tent to a jail or hospital for a period not gxceediug two months. Professor Tyndall gives some very re markable figures as to the mortality of turses in Germany as the result of their | 'liability to tuberculosis. More than oue :ialf tlie deaths of Catholic nurses in 18 German hospitals were due to this dis ?aae. Nursing is one of the deadliest oc j pupations known, to man, or rather to woman; a healthy girl of 17, devoting tierself to hospital nursing, dies, on au ivurage, 211 years soon than a girl of the tame age iu the general population. A woman of 24 will live 22 years longer in die outside population than what she would do if she were a nurse in a hospi :nl. This extreme mortality, Dr. Cornet thinks, might be reduced by the rigorous use of the spittoon. The following is Professor Tyndall’s mmmary of the German investigator: (t is universally recognized that tubercu losis is caused by tubercle bacilli, which reach the lungs through the inhalation Df air in which the bacilli are diffused. They come almost exclusively from the dried sputum of consumptive persons. The moist sputum, as also the expired breath of the consumptive patients, is, for this mode of infection, without dan ger. If we can prevent the drying of the expectorated mutter, we prevent in the same degree the possibility of infec tion. It is not, however, sufficient to place a spittoon at the disposal of the patient. The strictest surveillance must be exercised by both physicians and at tendants to enforce the pro;*-r use of the •pittoon, and to prevent tne reckless dis posal of infective phlegm. Bpitting on the floor or into pocket handkerchief* is the main source of peril. To this must be added the soiling of the bedclothes and the wiping of the patient’s mouth. The handkerchiefs used for this purpose . must be handled with care and boiled without delay. Various other sources of danger, kissing among them, will occur to the, physician. A phthisical mother, by kissing her healthy child, may seal its doom. Il*w Deep Doe* th* Earth gk*. The Mississippi Valley has recently ex perienced an earthquake shock which for •everitv has not been equaled for yean*, sn incident which revives interest in the query: How deep does the earth “quake’’ when nature shapes her crust likt the cyclone does the circus tent? At Virginia City, Nev., the great earth quake of 1879 was not noticed by the miners in the deeper portions of the Comstock mines. The famous earth quake at the same place in 1874, which diook down chimneys, fire walls, etc., and cracked every brick building in the city, was merely noticed by some of the min ers working in the “upper levels,” but did them no damage, not even shaking down loose rocks and earth. The station men in the various shafts felt it strong sst, and the deepest point where it was noticed waa by the ninth station man.who waa on watch at the 900 foot level, which ia. of course, 900 feet below the surface. He said it felt like a faint throb or pulsa tion of air. as though a blast had been fired above, below, or in some indefinite direction. In some of the Virginia City mines the shock was not felt at ail. not •*reu by station men in the “hafts. —St. Louis Republic Bocklen’a Arnica Salve, The beat salve in the world for cute, Braises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Fe ver Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chil blains Corns, and all Skin Eruptions and positively cares Pile*, or no pay re quired.

The darkucss was simply intense as George O’Gaff arrived at the hall door ol Lite McShaughuessys. George was madly in love with the only laughter of the house (and lot) of Me Shaughuesays. Gladys was her name. 11. To resume the thread of our story, Georg* putted the bell. The door w 3|>eued with a sudden swiftness which ir only possible to a girl on the shady sttl of 28. as Gladys was. She atep|>ed out on the stoop There was no oue thete! 111. But Gladys thought she heard a fain* moan, a horrible suspicion crossed hei mind; raising her right foot carefully from the door mat she saw something move, she stooped down, picked it up brought it into the hallway, looked at it carefully, screamed,and swooned away. “It” was George!—Brooklyu Eagle. l'nl<|ii* l.o** Making. Here is a romantic anecdote nliout Louisa Alcott's father and mother. Ass youug man. Mr. Aicott, so the story goes, was amamietm or secretary to Mrs. Al cott's father. The two youug people mel often, aud naturally fell in love with each other. Mr. Alcott's social position and prospects being somewhat uncertain at that time, he did not feel justified iu asking this well born aud talented young woman to marry him. He finally gave up his position and.thej parted with ; no confessions on either side. It wa* i agreed, however, that each should keep a journal, and that these journals should be exchanged once in so often. Thus matters went on for some time, he un willing to ask so much and offer so little, she willing to give all, and chafing undei a woman's necessity of keeping silent, j At length one day, while reading the journal he had sent her, she came across a few sentences in which he hinted at hi* love and unhappiness and wondered what she would say if he should ever presume to ask her hand iu marriage. The mo rnent was a critical one, but Mrs. Alcotl was equal to it. Seizing a pen quickly and clearly she wrote underneath : “Sup posing you ask her and find out?” It is said that the journal is still preserved to the Aicott family. British Pr)l* Touchad. When three regiments of the English army took possession of Caatine, Me., in the last year of the war of 1812, a large detachment was sent up the river to seize the neighboring towns. As the red coat* were leisurely marching through the country, they saw an old, bent, white haired mau, sitting at the door of a small, plain house. The young officer at the head of the troops deigned to lay aside military dig nity for a moment, aud condescendingly hailed him: “Old Daddy, did you evet see *o many men before?” “Yes,” was the prompt answer. “And where, then?" “With Wolfe, under the walls of Que bec." The officer stopped. Good natured con descension to the old Yankee country man was changed to respect for the colonial soldier. Oue thousand seven hundred and seveutv-six and 1812 were forgotten. He ordered the command to halt, and with the other officers shook hands with the humble old mau, proud to do honor to one who, under the British Hag, had followed a young, brave general to his last victory. Youth's Gotnpauiun. A Noteworthy Kitcpilon. A severe wind storm was prevailing on wash day iu the capital city and playing havoc with the clotheslines. The colored maid of all work rushed into the house with excitement written u|>on her dusky countenance. Emerging from the base ment, she called out, in tones that car ried her startled information throughout the house, aud even to the ears of the callers in the parlor, “Fo* de Lawd, missus, all de han’ke'chi’fs don bin stole, 'cept'u de socks!" A Riot Eaiued. Fakir—Here you are, gentlemeo, the greatest invention of the age. Passengers (stopping to listen)-What is it! Fakir—A magnetized keyhole plate for front doors. It would attract an ordi nary steel key from a distance of two feet. Ail you have to do to find the keyhole is to take out your key and hang onto it. Three men were injured in the crowd that gathered to buy.—Puck. To Remind Him. Tattle Pete is a good boy as well well as a boy of a great deal of originality iu his “notions,” but he has the serious fault of being extremely forgetful. One day. after having gone on an er rand and forgotten what he was sent for, he exclaimed bitterly to his sister: “Oh dear! I wish I was a snake!" “You wish you were a snake,” said nis sister, horrified. “Yes, and a great long one—as much as six feet long." “Why, what for, Pete?" “So I could tie knots in myself to make me remember things!” Remarkable Fact*. Heart disease is usually supposed to be incurable, but when properly treated a iarge proportion of casea can be cared. Thua Mrs Hatch; of flkhart, Ind., and Mrs Mary L- Baker, of Ovid, Mich.,were cured after suffering 20 years. S. C. Linburger, druggist at San Jose, 111., says that Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, which cured the former, “worked won ders for his wife.” Levi Logan of Bnc hanan, Mich., who had heart disease for :30 years, says two bottles made him *‘feel like a new* man.” Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure ia sold and guaranteed by Feldmever Bros., City Drug Store Book of wonderful testimonials frae.

"1 know; but what I meant was that I would do anything to please you. Ah, Angelina, if you but knew the aching void " “There is no such thing as a void, George. Nature abhors a vacuum. But admitting, that there could be such a thing, how could the void you speak of be a void if there was an ache in it?" “1 meant to say that my life will be lonely without you; that you are my daily thought and nightly dream. 1 would go any when to be with you.

He is restless, and likes to go to the door of the car and wander about. 1 never feel sure that he will stay in his seal while 1 read or doze. This summer 1 hit upon a resource by mere accident, tliut got him easily through a 12 hours' ride, aud some other mother of an uneasy lad may be glad to imitate me. He got hold of a time table, one on which was every sta tion we passed, and he spent the entire trip in watching the progress of the train. He set his watch by the conductor’s, and w as as interested as the engineer in mak ing the stations on time. Once the train hist 25 minutes, which was a real boon, for until we had made that up iny boj timed the distances between mile posts in his desire to watch the train’s spei-d, and when we got on time again he was as pleased and proud as if he were re sponsible. A time table and watch are the best of traveling companions for boys. ” It Was a Woman. A man was standing on the curbstom looking at a street vender's sal# Saturday afternoon, when a horse's head appeared over his shoulder. “Shoo, there,” he said, catching the animal by the neckrein, “I’ll bet a jews, harp that a woman ia driving you. " . “Get up! Let go my horse! I*ll call the police!"screamed an excited woman’s voice. i “I don’t want your horse,” said the man, u ’n' I don't war.t to be driv over, eyether. Why don't you take to ths sidewalk and give folks in the street e j chance for their lives?” Then he jumped back as a whip struck the horse, aud as he looked after the re treating vehicle he chuckled: “That's right! Mash 'em! Run ’em ; down! Drive over them! There ought to be a law to compel folks to stay in the ; house when women go out driving. It’d save lot* of lives. " A Soft Answer Tnrntlh Awejr Wrath.
