POISON IN KISSING.
A rhyslclau's Views As Presented
at a
Medical Meeting.
, tUtica (X. Y.) Letter.
Lives aro daily sacrificed and diseases
arc daily communicated by the promis
cuous habit of kissing. As a custom it
should be abandoned among women iu
their greetings.
It ia withia my remembrance that a boy
was suddenly stricken down with that
dreadful malady, diphtheria. The mother
kissed the son most affectionately, but it
was the kiss of death for her. I have no
doubt other physicians have noted similar
observations. .,-
In the sacred precincts of the fireside,
when death has laid its relentless hands
on one of its members, the common prac
tice of kissing is liable to induce scpticic
mia, and thus other precious lives be ex
posed to the venomous sting of death. As
you can see more easily the action of a
drug when given in a large dose, sd you
will sec more pointedly the danger arising
from kissing by giving an illustration of a
malignant disease.
There is no longer any doubt iu regard
to the inoculability and infectiousness of
consumption. It is not an established
fact that it is not contagious. When you
remember that more die by its insidious
hands than from any other cause, but few
families or relatives of families can be ex
empt from it. This being true, should
not persons visiting such unfortu
nate 1 individuals do away with the
accustomed mode of greeting by kissing?
A disease which has resisted the treatment
of the most skilled up to the present day
should be prevented if possible. Is human
life to be sacrificed for the sake of con
forming to a custom? Change the custom,
and other ways of greeting will be equally
popular and much more sensible and safe.
The bacillus of phthisis is a minute form
of organized life, which acts so subtly
that the introduction of it into the system
would not be manifested by any immediate
symptoms. As surely as "a" little leaven
leaveneth the whole lump, " just as surely
will the microscopical germs multiply in
the system in the most marvelous man
ner, boon there will be a hacking cough,
some elevation of the temperature,
hoarseness or shallow voice, and tho work
of destruction now noticeable goes on
until its victim can . no longer resist its
invasion, and death claims the victory,
i There is a disease more terrible than the
two previously mentioned. It is peculiar
to no grade in the social world; it is
handed down "up to the third and fourth
generation" when it gets thoroughly seated
m the system, unless . treatment lie con
tinued for years. It is more terrible than
cancer, for that is not hereditary. It is
constitutionally destructive, while cancer
is bore locally so, It eats away the pai
atJ, destroys the hearing, solans and dis
integrates bones, and iu its hereditary de
scent produces malformation of brain and
body. It exists very extensively in this
country, but more so in other parts of the
globe. A person may have the appear
ance of health, yet the system may be poi
soned by it Such a person kissing an
other upon tho lips free from the disease,
could communicate it Every physician
has seen : these cases in hospitals or in
private practice. ' Laying aside tho ques
tion of heredity, a dissolute husband may
convey it to his wife, and she in turn to
her children or lady friends through kiss
ing. . -
Origin of tUo "Student's Iuiip."
i St. Paul Honeer Press.
Prominent a3 ornaments on a St Paul
parlor mantel stand a couple of English
lamps, whoso claims to hcirloomship are
indisputable as their age, which is known
to reach: 150. years. They aro made of
hammered silver, and are noted for that
prodigality of material our dear, dead
progenitors favored probably because
the Comstock lode hadn't been discovered
and silver was regarded as worth taking
pains about
The lady owner of the lamps was asked
by a gentleman guest a few evenings ago
if she had ever tried to use them as any
thing but ornaments. She replied, with
surprise: " Of course not. They wouldn't
burn. " Tho gentleman made a close
examination, and, fired with a desire for
discovery, ' took one of tho lamps to the
dining-room, and with it a student's lamp
of the ordinary German pattern. lie took
both lamps apart, and, as he suspected,
their plan was precisely similar. The
feed, tho wick arrangements, the reservoir
each and all corresponded. The infer
ence is plain that the German who has
reaped so rich a reward from his lamps
was an imitative Aladdin. He must have
seen cne of these early English fellows
and stolen his ideas bodily therefrom.
Fec3 of English rhyslcians.
Chicago Tribune.
Appropos of doctors, the English pro
fessional journals have been telling won
derful stories about tho fees of English
physicians. The Students' Journal says
Sir Andrew Clarke makes over $73,000 a
year, which The Medical Journal says is
strictly true. Others add that Dr. Kofi
cliff e used to make an average annual in
come of $35,000 a year, and Dr. Eaillie
$50,000; that Sir Astley Cooper took
f 5,000 in a single fee; that some other
doctor got $10,000 for going to Pau from
London; that Catherine II of Itussia paid
Dr. Dimsdalo $00,000 for vaccination.
The Paris .Temps -thinks all this
English boasting very immodest and un-
professional, and intimates that no French
doctor will allow such facts about his pe
cuniary gains to become known. It ob
serves, however, in order to give some
idea of what French doctors could reveal
if they chose, that it i3 within iu per
sonal knowledge that Nelaton on ono oc
casion refused $80,000 to go to St Peters
burg to perform a very simple operation.
Fast Kallroad Traveling.
' , Chicago Tribune
An American, whilst on a visit to the
old country, was talking to a group of
cockneys about railway traveling, and re
marked that some of the fast trains in this
country ran long stretches at the ra!e of a
mile a minute uO, that's nothing to tho
rate they travel on this side. " interrupted
one of the Londoners. "I know the con
ductor of one of our fast express trains
who aimed a blow with a club at a man
standing at a little wayside station through
which the train pa?scd, and knocked down
and killed a man slanuincr at a station

India's Medicinal Herbs.
Chambers' Journal
With regard to the medicinal herbs and
cures of tho natives, they are endless.
Hardly a weed grows but they find some
virtue in it for some ailment or other.
The large leaf of the castor -oil plant
heated and applied externally, is used for
allaying local inflammation and pain; the
leaf and bark of the neem tree, a well
known and similar valuable appliance; a
small weed like clover, gathered among
the grass, is applied to the temples to al
lay headaches, or otherwise as a counter
irritant, as we use mustard; the chereita,
also a well-known tonic and
fever -preventive; the milk of the
chutwan tree for tooth-stuffing,
though little needed in a country where
tooth-brushing, like a part of their re
ligion, precedes and follows every meal,
and pearly white teeth aro the result,
despite tho free use of sweetmeats. .
During a long residence in the country,
I have on many occasions observed and
experienced the value of native herbs and
medicines. The mention of these to med
ical men, however, has received but little
notice beyond an incredulous smile or
contemptuous allusion to such "crude
cures. " One of those coming under my
personal notico I may mention. A child
of one of my, servants , that appeared to be
dangerously ill of incipient small -pox was
given to the gardener beforo referred to to
be treated for the disease, a bargain hav
ing been struck for a fee payable only on
the child's recovery.
There was every symptom of a severe
attack. Tho child's breath was fetid,
skin parched, lips and noso seamed and
bleeding. Tho gardener commenced by
smearing the child's body over with fresh
herbs pounded in goats milk, and then
wrapping him up iu a blanket watched
him tho whole night, now and then reap
plying the herbs and carefully guarding
him against cold. The result of his treat
ment was that in twelve hours all the dan
gerous symptoms had disappeared, the
child had complete ease, and there was no
relapse from rapid convalescence. The
free rush of spots that camo out soon
faded and disappeared. I could hardly
imagine that nature, unless aided by these
herbs, could work so rapid a change. At
the same time it may be added that had
the government taken the home precau
tion of vaccination the treatment would
probably never have been needed.

Bismarck has nothing but contempt for

those of men who have outwitted mobs.
During the Beige of Paris while he was

d' Aumalc, was in 1848 private sec
retary to the duchess of Orleans.
When the revolution of February
broke out, a rabble invaded the palais
royal, where tho princess resided, and be
gan smashing works of art; pictures, stat
uettes, and knickknacks. AU the house
hold was seized with panic except M.
Fleury, who, - throwing off his-coat,
smeared his face and hands with coal,
caught up a poker, and rushed among the
mob, shouting: " Here, I'll show you
where the best pictures are. " So saying,
he plied his poker upon furniture of no
value, and, thus 1 winning the confidence
of the roughs, was able to lead them out
of tho royal apartments into the kitchen
regions, where they spent their patriotic
fury upon the contents of larder and
cellar. - i ;
The sequel of i this story is very droll,
and Bismarck relates it with great relish.
A few days after he had saved the palais
royal, M. Fleury was recognized in the
street as " the duchess of Orleans secre
tary and mobbed. He was being some
what roughly hustled when a "hulking
water-carrier elbowed his way through
the throng, and roared: "Let that man
be! He is one of the right sort He led
us to the pillage of , the palais royal tho
other day!" i ? '

How Sleigh Bells Are Made.
Popular Science Monthly .1
J low many boys and girls know how
sleigh bells are made? Tho littlo iron ball
is too big to be put Ihf ough tho holes in
the bell, and yet it is inside, llow did it
get there? ; i
This little iro ball is called "the jing
let. " When you shake tho sleigh bell it
jingles. When tho horse trots tho. bells
jingle, jingle, jingle. In making the bell
the jinglct is put inside a littlo ball of
mud, just the shape of the inside of the
bell. This mud ball, with the jinglet in
side, is placed in tho mold of the outside,
and the metal is poured in,- which filhj
up the space between the ball and the
mold. . When the mold is taken oil you
see a sleigh bell, but it will not ring, as it
is full of dirt. The hot metal dries the
dirt that the bell is made of, bo it can be
shaken out After tho dirt ia all shaken
out of the holes in tho bell the little iron
jinglet will still be in the bell, and will
ring. It took a great many years to think
out how to make a sleigh bell
Reducing tho Quantity.
Chicago Times,!
. A writer in one of the English technical
papers explains how cokl air is the cause
o smoke, and how care can reduce it.
llo would draw tho existing fire to the
front of a grate and place the coals behind,
thus the lire in the front would burn more
rapidly, warm the air above, and so pre
pare the rising gases for conbustion. The
smoke is diminished, as the gases from
the coals at the back rise much mon
slowly than when placed upon the fire ami
the air partly warmed. For stoves am5
boilers, warm air may be produced for thi
entire combustion of all the gasses, a re
suit that is beneficial in many ways.
