ABOUT CONSUMPTION.
It la Declared to Be a Contagious
Disease,
An Annlent Theory KeTtvett Through
Scientific InTestlBatlon No Prorl
alona Against (Joutaglou
Can Be Made.
The Philadelphia County Medical so
ciety has petitioned the board of
health of that city to put consumption
of the lungs on the list of contagious
diseases, says the Baltimore Sun. The
request has awakened interest in the
old question of the contagiousness of
consumption and incidentally on the
general subject of infection and con
tagion. Some of the diseases which
flesh is heir to are contagious in every
sense of the word. A contact so
slight that it does not even reach skiu
contact, but merely with the air which
smallpox patients breathe, is sufficient
to cause smallpox in man. So, too,
mediato contact that is to say, the
handling by the well of material
touched by the sick has been proved
to be the cause of many diseases, of
which erysipelas and scarlet fever may
be cited as examples. The products of
certain other diseases typhoid fever,
for example require to be taken into
the economy to become maleficent.
Still others, such as glanders, must
be introduced into the blood current
itself before they are dangerous. These
facts have been proved by long ob
servation and are not to be disputed.
A horseman treats a case of glanders
with perfect security, provided his
skin is whole or is protected. A nurse
or a doctor stays for hours in the room
of the typhoid patient and suffers no
hurt. The older doctors, therefore,
set these diseases to one side as in
fectious, but not contagious, for it was
equally evident that they were carried
from patient to patient, not through
the air, but through other, and to
them unknown, means.
The discoveries in bacteriology have
settled many questions, but have un
settled many others which were sup
posed to have been fixed forever.
Among other things it has broken
down the barriers between contagious
and infectious diseases. All tlte dis
eases which have been mentioned are
now believed to be caused by germs of
vegetal origin, some of which are
known, others of which are only sus
pected. The explanation of the bac
teriologist as to tlie di.Herenefl in Helf
eiiect ou tne human organism is aim
ply that of the Bible. Some gcvms fall
on good ground and multiply, others on
stony ground and fail to grow, or
wither at once. When a typhoid germ
is breathed into the lungs it perishes
just as do the myriad of other germs
which we daily breathe. It is far other
wise if it is swallowed with the food
or drink, and ilnds after running the
'rauntlet of the juices of the stomach a
suitable place for growth in the intes
tines. The germ grows and multiplies,
and the ordinary phenomena of the
disease result. This will give a gen
eral idea of the simple and apparently
complete answer to many of the vexed
tuestions which puzzled the older doc
tors. Unfortunately the practical diffi
culties are not entirely removed by
the theoretical explanation, and espe
cially is this true of consumption.
Even if it is granted that the disease al
ways originates from a germ, and that
this germ came from some previous
case of the disease, tlie fact that so
many escape where almost all are ex
posed shows that there must be other
factors than the germ alone which
cause the disease, or at least aid in its
propagation. So far these other fao
tors are almost unknown.
That consumption was contagious
was an old theory, and the Spaniards
centuries ago were in the habit of de
stroying the bedding and belongings
of consumptives, and in some cases
even the houses in which they lived,
for fear of the spreading of the plague.
That it is not very actively contagious
is proved sufficiently by the fact that
the dwellers in cities are alive at all,
for statistic:, prove that from one-tenth
to one-fifth of all the deaths in large
cities are due directly or indirectly to
the disease, and that consequently a
number of sufferers from the disease
must be present in every large gather
ing of p( jple. Except in the later
stages the patient is not confined to
his bed. He iniugles in all the social
and industrial avocations of life. Not
infrequently he is "the life of the
party" or the '"hardest worker of the
office. " In the present slate of society,
at least, such men cannot be con
demned to a leper camp nor sent
against their wills to a sanitarium,
however excellent.
The general fact that consumption is
a disease which, under certain circum
stances, may become contagious or in
fectious, should be admitted. A suf
ficient number of cases are known
where the carrying of the dibcase from
t he ill to the weU is clearly proved to
demonstrate the general truth that
consumption is sometimes contagious.
This should lead to the most scrup
ulous care on the part not only of tha
physician but of the intelligent pa
tient to prevent the spread of the dis
ease. But any attempt to prevent such
infection by quarantine regulation
must almost necessarily prove abor
tive. Dried Fruit YVelichts.
The reason for the variation in the
weight of dried fruits when packed in
large or small packages ia the subject
of an article in the London Orocer.
CurraDts, being semi-dried, gain some- '
what in weight when in bulk, but!
when packed in small cartons the ten- j
dency is for them to lose weight. Sul-1
tana raisins are cured in boiling oii and
gain weight when in small packages, i
Valencia raisins are cured by being ;
dipped into lye and diminish in weight
both in large and small packages. Of
course the apartment where the fruits j
are kept has something to do with it, j
and the paper constituting the wrap- j
per may gain in weight, one grocer at i
the MKtfeid reporting that bia "pound" I
packugua weighed neventeen ounces.
WAS PREPARED TO DIE.
But Wueu the Time Came Ills Vision
Failed to Come True.
Some time since, says the New York
Telegram, a certain farmer in the mid
dle of this state, an eccentric old fel
low the neighbors said, had a vision.
Somebody appeared to him, a spirit,
a hobgoblin or what not, and informed
him that he had only a few months to
live. The date fixed was in Novem
ber. The farmer took the matter very
seriously, but he had no fears, lie
told his friends that he was about to
depart, and began to get ready. He
paid all his debts, which is more than
even death can induce every one to do,
and offered his farm utensils and his
stock for sale. He wanted to clean
things up handsomely, as every hon
est man should do, and leave no en
tanglements behind him. Among oth
er things to be disposed of were two
cows, but as he wanted to live com
fortably while he did live he concluded
to hold on to those cows until the last
moment
Oddly enough, now that the time of
his exit is close at hard, he has had an
otker vision. A new set of ghosts or
hobgoblins have appeared to him and
informed him that arrangements have
been made to allow him to stay in this
wicked world a little longer. He was
rather relieved at the postponement of
his funeral, but still felt a degree of
einbarrassment.for pretty nearly every
thing he had, wagons, horses and har
nesses, rakes, hoes, axes, some cords of
wood behind the house, had all been
got rid of, and the farm looked as
though it had just been abandoned.
The old fellow is a bit riled, how
ever. "This vision business," he said
the other day, "has cost me dear," and
he has been heard to use some rather
strong expressions about hobgoblins
in general and this particular hobgob
lin that seems to have been playing a
practical joke on him.
He is specially glad that he didn't
sell those cows. They are about all he
has left, but they will serve as a nu
cleus for the things he will have to
buy in order to run the farm. When a
Btranger comes along nowadays and
says he would like to take a peep at
those cows with a view to purchase
them, the farmer comes as close to pro
fanity as a country church deacon
ever gets, lie thinks the swear words,
but bites his tongue and remarks that
he hasn't any eows for sale, but is
thinking of buying a herd and goin(j
into the dairy business.
The moral of this is that hobgoblin
are very useful creatures in their way!
that when they tell you to pay your
debts you had better follow their ad
vice, but if they tell you you are going
to die you had better take camomile
tea and send for the doctor. At afy
rate, don't part with your cows.
FAMILY TRADITION COUNTS.
A Domlnaut Force In the Politics anal So
ciety of L,lttle Delaware.
No resident of a great state can easi
ly guess the feeling of local loyalty
and of almost clannish pride common
throughout the ennvnonwealth of Del
aware, says the New York Sun. When
Wilmington is left out of account the
remainderof the state is peopled chief
ly by a rural community, native to the
soil and descended from ancestors
often settled for two centuries within
the bounds of the state. There are
many families still holding lands under
seventeenth century patents, lauds
that have descended from father to
son all those years without tke passage
of title deeds. It is only a few years
since a Delawarean about to remove to
the west sold a piece of land that his
ancestors had purchased from an In
dian chief as tlie representative of his
tribe. Long descent in Delawane is
confined to no self-constituted upper
class, but is the boast of all sorts of
people. There are many ancient
churches in Delaware, and probably
every one includes within its congre
gation some families descended from
those that took part in organizing the
church. Rural communities through
out the state are curiously immobile.
Surnames are few, and the region from
which a man comes is easily guessed
from his name.
family traditions are jealously treas
ured, and family traits reappear gen
eration after generation. There is a
numerous family in the northern coun
ty famous from the fact that nearly all
its male members have red heads and
heavy red beards. The character is
said to belong even to distant branches
of the family in the west. Long de
scent, though so common, is highly
prized, and even where a family has
sunk into disrepute the fact of a re
spectable ancestry is held to make its
members a little better than just every
day newcomers whose conduct is no
worse. Neighbors in Delaware have
tenacious memories, and old family
scandals are whispered about for gen
erations. An old gentleman of blame'
less life and excellent name never
dared to become a candidate for public
office because it was recalled that hp
had been born out of wedlock. Geneal
ogies are carried in the heads of hun
dreds and old ladies often know the
intricate family relationships of half
the community. According to tradi
tion, the Du Ponts, who have been
making powder for a century, used to
remember with satisfaction that an
L-arly Bayard had been a hatter. Every
community has local traditions of this
sort and every man lives with the
'tnowledge that his family history is
cnown to all who have good memo
ries. Tattooing Ctlllro.L
A French physician, who has found
that the majority of deaths upon the
battlefield arise from the bleeding to
death of the wounded while waiting
for the surgeon, proposes that each sol
dier in the French army shall be
taught where the orteries of his body
are and how to arrest hemorrhages
from them. In doing this he has found
a use for that most useless of arts
tattooing; a small figure of some kind
bcLng tattooed over each artery, so
that tlie soldier can at once see where
to armlv the licature.

adorned with a flowing black beard, in
which are seen some white hairs, re
veals that in his veins runs the blood
of the negro race united to that of the
Arabs. He shows at the same time in
his physical traits the evidence of an
extraordinary firmness, mixed with a
certain shadow of melancholy and las
situde. He receives foreign ministers and
shows himself in public with fastidious
solemnity, says the Now York Trib
une. One of the emperor's serv
ants holds over his head a large para
sol to screen him from the rays rjf the
sun. Others are busy fanning him, in
order to chase away the Hies so abun
dant in that hot cliirmte( and all look
at their lord as if he were a god rather
than their sovereign." Edmunde Arai
cis, who saw Muley Hassan during a
reception of the Italian embassy, de
scribes him as follows:
"A vestment as white as the snow
covers him from head to foot; the tur
ban is covered by a high hood; the
feet are bare and inclosed in yellow
slippers. His horse is of high stature
and very white, with green reins and
gold stirrups. All this whitenesB and
the wide, floating vestments gave him
a sacerdotal appearance, a royal grace
fulness and amiable majesty, in accord
with the very gentle expression of his
physiognomy."
On account of the intolerance pre
vailing in the Moorish empire, the
function of a religious chief is the
most important of those which belong
to the sultan. If he did not show ab
solute respect for the Mussulman or
thodoxy of the doctrines of Mohammed,
a revolution would soon turn him from
the throne or gravely compromise his
sovereignty. Muley Hassan observes,
therefore, rigorously all religious prac
ticesof the Moslem liturgy. Like all
members of his court, he gets up at
three o'clock a. m., in winter as well as
In summer, to make the first prayers.
After that his chaplain reads him some
pages in the books of Bokhari, the
famous Mussulman theologian, who
is, in the opinion of all Moors, the best
religious authority after Mohammed.
The sultan and his ministers give
audiences between five and six o'clock
a. m., and it is at suah a matlnal hour
that he receives Europeans. The mid
dle of the day is given to rest and sleep,
business being resumed ouly at four or
five o'clock p. m., to stop at the hour
of the evening prayer.
When the sultan gets up in the morn
ing and when he has slept during the
"siesta" in the middle of the day his
women help him to dress. Their num
ber is very considerable. Home people
affirm that there are two thousand of
them in each of the three capitals of
the empire, which are Fez, Mequinez
and Morocco. But among all these wives
the one who is really the favorite and
the first in the heart of the emperor is
a Circassian of marvelous and fascinat
ing beauty, who is thirty years old and
who has succeeded in dominating
Muley Hassan, thanks to her talents,
smartness and high culture. She has
a EuroK'an education, speaks French
and Spanish, and aspires to make her
son Abdelazis the successor of theprea
ent emperor.
SCHOOL SYSTEM OF FRANCE.
The Hrmmetry anil Working Are Hold to
He Next Thing to Perfection.
"Every child in Kranceat this hour,'
says the complacent minister in the
well-known story, "is studying the
same lesson," and, according to the
Fortnightly Review, it is practically
the same for every undergraduate
still. Uniform knowledge and uni
form precision, with uniform justice
for every young citizen, are thus se
cured, and what are commonly reck
oned the "essential qualities of the
French mind" are unquestionably de
veloped. Not only the symmetry, but
tlie working of the fystcm is perfect;
the grand armcc is gone, even the code
has its uncertainties, new govern
ment and principles come and go: but
the University of France has sat as it
was set, abovo the reach of time or
politics, as beseems the mighty spir
itual organization It is. Tliu body of
the nation is in its outer court, its gov
ernment classes are in the second and
third. We recognize in England how
largely the public schoolboy is fatherof
the mini, but we must deepen this im
pression tenfold to realize the national
importance of the l.yctcu and his bac
calaureate. One might write a good
aecount of modern Fran in trmc of
him alone the lyceen fullblown as
literateur and critic, as artist and en
gineer, as journalist and politician, as
soldier and colonizer, and so on. In
all such occupations, however, he has
too much to do with the outer court;
it is in the inner one, that of the doc
torate, the aggregation, the diploma
of the Ecole Normale Snperieure, that
he fully blossoms, unspotted from the
world. He becomes a professor or
other functionary, for above all things
the ambition of the conventionally
well-educated Frenchman is to belong
to some bureau or other. The profane
call this inner court (with some ap
proach to descriptive accuracy, it must
be confessed) that of the "manda
rinat," Its more erudite and authorita
tive personages becoming "manda
rins," and its humbler Levites "ronds
de cuir," i. c., civil servants, viewed
Ideologically as coverings for stools.
So upon every mind in France there ia
laid the dead hand of the great law
giver. A VALUABLE RELIC.
How the Mount Yrrmm Ladles' Associa
tion Secured h VMliliijrtin Coach.
In connection with the restoration of
the old conch-house, which was entire
ly rebuilt by Michigan during the past
year, there is an interesting story of
the search for one of Washington's old
coaches to replace in the old quarters.
Though a search was instituted a year
ago in New York and Philadelphia for
the lost coach, says the New York Postf
there were no traces of it up to the
date of the completion of the coach
house in May. At that time Mr. Dodge,
the superintendent at Mount Vernon,
ascertained that a Washington coach
had been sold from au auction room in
Philadelphia to Forepaugh's Circus
company for fifty dollars, and also that
the Pennsylvania commituuoners had
tried unsuccessfully to get it from the
company last summer for the Colum
bian exposition. Mr. Dodge immedi
ately corresponded with Forepaugh's,
and Barnnm & Bailey's circus com
panies, and also with Mr. lirownlield,
chairman of the Pennsylvania commis
sioners. Mr. ltrowntleld used the large
opportunities at his command in get
ting on tlie track of the coach, and in
June a letter was received from hiin to
the elTect that the coach had been
traced to the wreck of a circus train
"in the west," and was probably a
ruin. But the end was not yet. Sus
pecting that he might have been mis
led, Mr. Hrowulield renewed the hunt,
which ultimately resulted in finding
the coach safely stored away. Mr.
Dodge at once opened negotiations for
its purchase, but further proceedings
were arrested by Mr. Brownfleld's re
serving for himself the privilege of pre
senting the coaeh to the Mount Vernon
Lai1''"!' nssooiation.

acts as my amanuensis takes the

stand which supports a telephone. It
is ornamental and movable. I put it

according to my convenience.
"With this little instrument I can
talk from my desk with all the world.
It is a long distance telephone, and
with it I can call up Boston as easily as
Baltimore. Besides, I hure at my
other elbow a similar contrivance for
communicating with the various rooms
under my superintendence in this
building. At a moment's notice I can

"My desk is a center to which ever

give power to my electric fan. Over

The engineer on a western New York
train picked up a queer piibsenger re
cently. Oue evening he saw something
I come from the bushes at one side of
the railroad, step upon the track and
stand still between the rails. At first
he thought it was a man, but when the
rays of the headlight fell on the object
he saw that it was a bear. The train
was moving very fust and the engineer
blew the whistle loudly, but the bear
held his place calmly until almost run
down and then stepped oil. This rash
bear must have enjoyed its experience,
for three times during the following
week it ropuated the performance.
Hut when it came out for the fifth time
it had grown careless and tho cow
catcher knocked it up In the air. Then
the train was stopped and the train
men searched for the bcur. But bruin
had crawled away somehow Into a
laurel swamp aud ik there yet, proba
