CHOLERA'S THREAT.
Dr. Geo. F.- Schrady, one of New
York's sanitary inspectors, correspond
in; to the San Francisco Examiner,
wands the keynote of warning- in the
following timely article : In attempting
to make prophecies it is safer to discuss
probabilities than to challenge fate by
positive statements. Such is the posi
tion of the question as to whether or not
cholera Will visit the United States dur
ing the coming season. . When the
clouds appear, when the barometer falls
and the wind blows for rain, we are apt
to have a storm. Such is the appear
ance of the horizon concerning cholera
to those who are on the lookout. Chol
era still exiBts in various parts of Europe
and Asia. In spite of the best directed
. efforts of the sanitary authorities to
these countries the plague is quietly, yet
surely, maintaining its foothold and do
ing its deadly work. There is an oiui
jious virulence in the disease germ that
-keeps itself alive and active during the
frosts of an exceptionally severe winter.
Although it is well known that cold
weather does not kill the germ, its per
sistent vitality in different quarters at
this season is an indication of a gather
ing storm which utudents of epidemics
-view with becoming alarm.
There are four main propositions to be
taken into account in reference to the
appearance and spread of cholera. First,
there must be the seed, the infectious
germ, the comma bacillus. Secondly,
the soil must be ready for the seed.
This comprises a number of conditions
humidity, heat, defective drainage, filth
and contaminated water supply.
Thirdly, we must estimate individual
susceptibility to an attack from the dis
ease, as it is well known that all exposed
persons do not suffer even during the
xnoet virulent period of an epidemic.
And, fourthly, there is what might be
called the epidemic influence, which has
peculiarities and laws of its own, the
true significance of which is not yet en
tirely understood.'
With the fresh start of cholera with
warmer weather, and its almost inevita
ble spread in new localities throughout
Europe and Asia, it will be next to im
possible to guard against an invasion of
this country through the many channels
which commerce and travel may open
lor it. We assume that the germ must
be again imported, as it will hardly be
impossible for it to renew itself from the
few cases which occurred in New York
during the past autumn.
The only lines of safety would be in
the direction of preparing to meet it by
every means that will tend to prevent
the growth of the poison and check its
spread by making the condition of its
development as unfavorable as possible.
This is the surest way of stamping out
the disease. It is a pity that in a na
tion so highly civilized as ours there
should be enough personal dirtiness to
make it necessary to consider it as a
public menace. But we must do so
nevertheless. All uncleanly persons :
will be, when summer comes, walking
threats to their fellowmen.
Butbyfarthe most important problem,
next to general quarantine, which pre
sents itself, in view of the danger- of
cholera, is not personal cleanliness, but
-municipal cleanliness. If the summer
of 1893 brings with it an epidemic of
cholera, it will be observed after it
Has ended that those cities ; with the
cleanest streets, the best sewerage sys
' terns- and the most thorough plan of
sanitary inspection were the ones to
suffer least. No expense, uq labor
should be spared in the effort to keep
America's cities clean in every way.
Every city in America ought to. put its-
self through a "spring bousecleaning"
.this year such as it never knew before.
No consideration of politics or petty
economy - should have the. slightest'
weight. Every effort should be made to'
avoid a "scare," but, better yet, every
every effort should be made to prevent
justification of a scare. , The department
of street cleaning in every city of the
Union should be put on its mettle and
kept there. If these things are done '
if America and Americans keep clean
and thus attain a high general standard
of health we need not fear a cholera
epidemic. But if in the face . of-4his
seriously threatening danger,' the laws
f national, municipal and individual
common sense are violated, we are
almost certain to' receive a punishment
that will leave a black blot upon the
pages of American history.

A Cordial Reception.
Early one morning, recently, 1 called
to see a gentleman who had not yet left
his bed. 1 was met at the door by a
woman whose sleeves were rolled up,
who wore an ample apron upon which
were various spots of flour and whose
face was not entirely free from similar
spots. It was "bake day," but she did
not embarrass me by any reference to
the fact or any apology as to her appear
ance. She asked me into the parlor and
after sending one of the children up
stairs to notify the father of my pres
ence, re-entered the parlor and chatted
until her husband appeared about vari
ous, topics in an entertaining, easy man
ner, quite as though she had been ex
pecting and was all fixed up to receive
me. It was simply delightful and my
great grief is that . 1 have no sufficient
excuse to make another early ; morning
call at the same home. "-Detroit Free

A Way of Cooking Rodents. '
The 'negro slaves of Jamaica used to
regard rats as-a dainty, their masters
not providing them with any other meat.
Their' method, of cooking tiie toothsome
rodents . was, to impale each one on a
long wooden skewer, after cleaning the
animal and cutting' off the tail, turning
it briskly around over a fire until the
hair was all burned off. Then it was
scraped until free from fur, and finally
the end of the skewer was stuck into the
ground, inclined toward the fire, until
it was toasted dry and crisp, thus being
mado ready for the meaL Washington
Star.
A Train of Elevator Cars. '
From an elevator point of view the
new Masonic temple building in Chicago
will be the most important in the world.
It will have twenty-four cars built in a
circular shaft having a 250 foot rise.
There will be express elevators, way and
freight trains. - The first will go to the
top floor without stopping, while the
others will' stop either at' every floor, or
at the fifth, tenth, fifteenth and so on.
They will not run at full speed, prob
ably because passengers do not like the
sensation of flying. Chicago Journal of
Commerce.
A Solid Silver Dinner Service.
Probably the most magnificent com
plimentary present ever received by a
European sovereign is the emperor of
Austria's silver wedding gift to the czar.
It consists of a dinner service of solid sil
ver, superbly wrought and chased, each
piece bearing an imperial eagle. The
service is for twenty-four persons, and
there are 230 pieces. London Truth.
Cotton Seed Oil Generates Fire.
The recent losses by fire in the cargo
of ships carrying cotton has shown that
cotton seed oil, when held in the cotton on
the outside of the bale, rapidly oxidizes
and generates spontaneous combustion.
