Vitiated Air and Kxpecitiratlu Hea der The (nveBarwi Fruit ful Sowree of Contagion NeeKl of StrluKfot Roie. In the larger cities of this country the street car is as potent a factor in the dissemination of communicable diseases as many of those usually cata logued in the standard works of hy picne. In these larger centers of popu lation the condition is one of an ex cessive number of passengers crowded into a limited number of cars. In some cities this Continues throughout the entire day. and in all of them during" the morning- and evening-hours. During- the period of congested traffic, the cars are crowded to the limit, every seat being- occupied, and the aisles and rear platforms literally packed with all classes of our variegated popula tion, says the Interstate MedicalJour nal. The ventilation of these cars is in ferior, both on account of inattention to this important matter on the rart of the builders of this class of rolling stock, and also because the passengers differ so w idely as. to the proper tem perature and circulation necessary to their comfort. Tuberculosis is undoubtedly propa gated through the medium of these cars, which become infected by the promiscuous expectoration indulg-ed in by consumptives, notwithstanding notices of warning-. Hnnnum, of Cleve land, recently examined 25 specimens of sputum found in street cars (15 from the interiors and ten from the rear plat forms) : t he t ubercle bacillus was -present in three instances. Other specimens showed the pneumococcus and the bacillus influenzae. These conditions, the person-to-per-snn contract, and the breathing- of vitiated air frequently laden with contag-ious exhalations and with dust from dried sputum, are most favora ble to the distribution of contagious diseases. Of course, it is only prob lematical as to the number of small pox cases which were infected through these conditions during- the recent epidemic, but it is certain that but few better opportunities of in fection are offered than through the street-car contact of all classes. Other transmissible diseases can very easily be, and no doubt are, com municated in the same way. The solution of this problem is not easy. Street railway companies are not inclined to relieve the present situation without compulsion. Health officers, however, have authority over the sanitation of these public con veyances. This authority in most municipalities gives sufficient power to prevent undue overcrowding- of cars when such prevention would be for the protfetion of public health. When necessary, as in times of a general cnidomie, such authority should b? exercised. I'nder all cir cumstances regular disinfection of street cars should he practiced in an efficient manner. In this way the cars can be made biologically clean, and the health of the community bet ter protected. There is just as much occasion for this procedure as there is for the disinfection of Pullman cars, now energetically practiced at different points. Investigation has developed the fact that there is but one city in the country. Philadel phia, where any pretense is made of disinfection of street cars. The T'nion Traction company of that city disinfects its cars with carbolic acid. This possibly answers for the killing of bacterial life on the floors and walls of the cars, but does no good for the contaminated places w.here dust has settled, and which nothing but a gaseous agent would reach. MUSIC OF THE CUBANS. It I Woti Than h Ilorrlbl RoliM Mad by tk Al gerian. Cubans show a semi-savage prefer ence for such musio as is made by a bend composed of n stamp-mill sort of a crank piano, a pair of sugar kettle tom-toms and a man with a horse-radish grater called a "giro" and a flat file with which to scrape it the combined outfit producing a dis cordant potpourri that might easily dislocate the teeth of any self-respecting handsaw, says the Detroit Free Press. This example of music as the Cubans fancy it is even worse than the finger-drumming and wire-snapping musical murders committed in Tunisian bazars and Algerian cafes ehantnntes. The lauded but lugubri ous Cuban national hymn is best es teemed when performed by one of thse bands of inharmonic banditti, and the national dance, that monoton ous combination of motions that sug gests that the dancer is trying to shoo a flea off the small of his back and also go easy on a stone-bruised heel, can only lc adequately performed to the muMc of Ihese African agitators of cat-gut, raw-hide and perforated tin. The truttr ib the Cubans will have tu learn music all over again. NEGRO A SMALL EATER. Whn Well and Hewularly Fd the Illaek Van Eteta Lasa Than the White Man. "There is a very popular, but yery erroneous belief that the negro is a heartier eater than the white man," said an observant citizen, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, "but after some little observation I have come to the conclusion that the negro is really a much smaller eater than a white man. My attention was called to the matter some time ago by Senator Anse McLaurin, of Mis sissippi, who asked me if 1 had no ticed the fact that negroes, as a rule, when well fed, and when they could get their meals regularly, ate less than white men. I frankly confessed that I had noticed no such thing, and said further that I did not believe it was so. Of course, my conclusion was merely a hasty generalization, and was due mainly to the popular belief. My interest in the matter was roused by the rather firm state ment made by the Mississippi states man, and so I made a series of ob servations, the results of which have been a revelation, for they have up set the opinions of a lifetime. I am now in a position to assert that if the negro is well and regularly fed he will eat at least a third less than a white man." VENTILATION IN TEE HAT. Good for tSie Hair and Adda Not a Little to the Comfort of the Head. "Some customers have nonsensical notions about the proper way to venti late a hat," said a fashionable hatter, to a New York Times man. "In fact, they are so whimsical about it that we make the hats without a ventilator and try to suit the wishes of the cus tomer after he ha6 handed his money to the salesman. Many customers will not have a hat ventilated at all. Well, they miss a great deal of comfort and take long chances for baldness in old age. The English style, and the only one that some buyers will adopt, is a ring of perforated holes in the crown of the hat. In my opinion, it is just as well to have no ventilator at all as to put it there. The best way is to have two holes, one on each side of the hat, just above the band. Then you get good circulation all the time. There are ways of punching the holes artis tically so that they do not detract from the appearance of the hat. Hut you would be surprised at the number of men who will not have them, some be cause it is not fashionable, anil others because they think the hat will not wear so well." Gunboat on the Ohio. Gunboats were common on the Mis sissippi river forty years ago. In recent years the river has seldom floated ships of the navy. Conse quently, when the monitor Arkansas, one of the newest ships of its class, steamed up the river recently on its way to St. Louis, it attracted much at tention. It astonished and delighted the people of Evansville, Ind., by mak ing an excursion up the Ohio as far as that city, for not since the civil war had any ship of the navy touched at that port. Doth the Mississippi and the Ohio are deep enough to float a much larger vessel than the Arkansas. Wlirie Waa EYcoaed. The following note was recently received by a Higginsville (Kan.) school teacher: "Respected Miss: please excuse Willie for absents. He fell downstairs just before school time and we feerd his internal in sides was hurt at first, but they ain't. The doctor saj-s that no part of his anattomy was hurt, but the brewz ing of the epnyHermis of the outside hid and also his hipp hurt some. But he narrowly escaped fatal death. Bo kindly excuse." Still Deficient. A new burglar alarm has been in vented which photographs the burg lar, arouses the family and calls the police. If it had an attachment which would handcuff the burglar and hitch him to one of the legs of the grand piano in the parlor the machine would be complete. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.
