EITHER TONIC OR INTOXICANT
I'ccoilar (Juailili.a of a ( anus Eaten by
Prairie Indian Tribes.
The bureau of ethnology has for
warded to Johns Hopkins university
for analysis a quantity of the hearts
of a certain species of cactus native
to the Indian territory. These are
eaten by the Kiowas and other south
ern prairie tribes, producing an intox
ication somewhat like that of hash
eesh. Used in moderation, they
are said by the Washington Star to be
a most powerful tonic. Like the
famous coca of Peru, they check waste
and so stimulate bodily activity as to
enable a man to work hard without
sleep for days together. The Indians
chew these cactus hearts and swallow
them. They induce a condition of ex
altation. While under their influence
a man is lifted out of himself, as it
were. He is wide awake, yet dream
ing. The intellect is not clouded, but
stimulated in a high degree.
The most remarkable thing about
.Hi its plant is th.it its peculiar effect is
not followed by any reaction. On that
account it might be ideally adapted
for sprees. It immediately arrests the
reaction which makes the toper so sad
after a "jamboree." At the same time it
is neither a narcotic nor an opiate. The
southern prairie Indians, with whom
the eating of the plant is a religion,
regard it as a cure :o? all diseases.espe
cially for consumption. At their sacred
festivals they remr.in for days in the
state of ecstasy described. Each man
consumes the ructus hearts at the rate
of about one an hour. The songs and
ceremonies are of a dreary kind, ap
propriate to the method of "inspiration.
Experts at Johns Hopkins university
will obtain from the material fur
nished the active principle of the
plant. Thus it is expected that a new
medicine, valuable, perhaps, for many
remedial purposes, will be added to
the pharmacopeia. Dr. Carl Lumholtz
has recently discovered that four va
rieties of this cactus are known to the
aborigines in northern Mexico. One
giant kind is regarded by the Indians
in that part of the country as their
greatest medicine, being much more
powerful than the plant employed by
the Kiowas. They can drink any
amount of corn beer, and this remedy
will take away all ill effects. The
name in use among them for this big
-i t of cactus is "hicurri."

GIANTS IN SWAMPS.
Mastodons That Have Been Dn.
earthed in Marshy Keg ions.
How Belentlflo Research Ilaa Been Aided
by the Discovery of Extlont Birds
aud Animals lu Wet
Lands.
It would perhaps be difficult to find
anybody who would speak a good
word for swamps. The man who
drains one and turns its marshy surface
into productive soil is universally re
garded as a public benefactor. So the
projected draining of the Dismal
swamp in Virginia and the Okefenokee
swamp of Georgia is regarded only
with favor, and few could be found to
regret the disappearance of these re
markable features of our American
landscapes, says Youth's Companion.
Yet, setting aside the . strange
picturesqueness of such marshy regions
and the curiosities of plant life which
they exhibit, it is easy to show that
swamps have been useful in a manner
that could hardly have been antici
pated. They have very effectually
served the cause of science by pre
serving the remains of some of the
most remarkable of the former in
habitants of the earth.
Here in America the skeletons of
several mastodons have been found
imbedded in ancient swamps, and so
perfectly preserved that no difficulty
whatever has been encountered in re-storino-
the bones to their normal po
sition, setting the skeletons on tlteir
feet and thus exhibiting to the eyes of
modern man the monster annuals
which were probably familiar sights to
our ancestors nobody knows how man v
thousands of years ago.
In Ireland the ancient swamps were
equally efilcaeious in preserving for us
the gigantic elks which became mired
in them.
Swamps have proved no less useful
agents of science in other parts of the
world, and particularly in Anstrnlia,
New Zealand and Madagascar. What
could be more interesting than the
bones of a giant bird which
was in all probability the roc
described by Nindbad? Just such
bones have been discovered in
the marshes of Madagascar aud New
Zealand.and there ta plenty of evidence
that the great blrtta which own. d them
were the contemporaries of men in the
past history of those islands. Hut for
the swamps we might have remained
ignorant of the fact that birds with
legs larger and heavier than those of
the largest horse once flourished in the
southern hetniuphrre.

CAUSE OF MANY DISEASES.
Bacteria and Row They' Ara Coltlvatw
and Stodled by Scleatlata.
Surgeon General Sterrtberg showed
a large gathering- of military men at
the Army and Navy club recently how
cholera and other disease 1 germs are
cultivated at the ' Army Med ical mu
seum, says-the Washington Post Ex
periments in bacteriology are being
conducted here under Dr; Sternberg's
supervision, and he himself has an enviable-
record as a diseoverer in this
science. ' The 'lebtttrer beg'an with a
short historical aeeotirit of the discov
ery of the germs of typhoid fiiver, glan
ders tttberculosis; leprosy, pneumonia,
diphtheria, loekjavV and other diseases,
which", he said, Wert propagated in one
way or another by small germs.' These
areJcUssed'aS rh1cr6o66f,-'when they are'
round asltitohteferiAVas bacilli when
they i ire Straight :tut i -tuberculosis
and iisvipfrilll .whr'tHey are shaped
like a rtserevV'i afe 'rl' the eholera
germs. All ,icsti '- t srtfall that
when magnittedtwat1i6U8and times
they have a rfiAmeter of "gufliclent) size
to be photographed:"" These germs are
cultivated at the Medical museum in
different . mediams, -chief of which is
beef tea minglnd - "with salt and
gelatine. The lecturer showed how
the germs were taken from dead
bodies and Safely planted and trans
planted so that they could be studied.
There feeemed to be some -doubt in the
minds of his hearers aboat the absolute
safety of handling the deadly cholera
germs, but the doctor said that they
were very easily ldlled, and in some
respects less to be feared than other
germs. , He said that heat was a won
derful germicide, arid that no- germ
could live after being exposed to a tem
perature of one hundred . and forty
Fahrenheit' Some one suggested that
if a man . could stand the boiling it
would be very -easy to rid him of the
cholera. The doctor said that the chol
era germs diet! on exposure to the sun
light for twenty-four hours, but to
make assurance doubly sure we were
in the habit of killing him with a
sledge hammer. The bacillus of typhoid
fever and of tuberculosis were very
tenacious of life, which explained in
part the prevalence of these diseases.
All germs became' attenuated when
they were cultivated outside the hu
man body, so that after awhile they
lort their power t attack the subject
violently. The' germs lived in water
sometimes for a long period and
when drank produced mild forms
of disease. ' When reproduced in
the body they recovered their vi
tality. - . Dr. Sternberg said that
Influenza or the grip was found to lie a
germ diseAsa and ttv prevalence was
due to the fact that rwi!ff give it oil
In their breath and take no precaution
to prevent it. The popular Idea that
tobaeo ; was a preventive of this
class of disease wa . mistake, for a
student once experimental and found
that bacteria .votild fjourtali In a tohan

ABOUT CONSUMFTIOft.
It Is Deolared to Be a Contagious
Disease.
Aa Anntent Theory Revived Through
Scientific Investigation No Provi
sions Against Contagion
Can Bo Made.
The Philadelphia County Medical so
ciety has petitioned the board of
'lealth of that city to put consumption
of the lungs on the list of contagious
liscases, says the Baltimore Sun. The
equest has awakened interest in the
old question of the contagiousness of
consumption and incidentally on the
;eneral subject of infection and con
agion. Some of the diseases which
. lesh is heir to are contagious in every
ense of the word. A contact so
light that it does not even reach skin
ontact, but merely with the air which
, .mallpox patients breathe, is sufficient
o cause smallpox in man. So, too,
"nediato 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 aa 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, an 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 contagions
and infectious diseases. All the 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 bao
teriologist as to the difference in their
effect on the human organism is sim
ply that of the Bible. Home germs fall
on good ground and multiply, others on
tony 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 it it is swallowed with the food
or drink, and finds after running the
gauntlet 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
questions which puzzled tha older doc
tors. Unfortunately the practical diffi
culties are not entirely removed by
the theoretical explanation, and choc
dally Is thin trim of eonatunpti'in.
Even If it is granted that the di m al
ways originates from a germ, smt thst
this germ came from aome previous
cane of the disease, the fact that so
many escape where almost all are ex
posed shown thst there must lie other
(actors than the germ alone which
cause the disease, or at least aid in Its
propagation. Ko far theae other fac
tors are at moat unknown.

That It Is not very actively contagious

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
ABSOLUTELY PURE
CHANCE OF MARRIAGE.
len Tbouaand Women Have t.ost It, Says
Walter Ileaant.
"Therefore 10,000 women have now
lost their chance of marriage." Those
fateful words, it is almost unnecessary
to say, are from the pen of Walter
Besant.
He is commenting upon the fact that
the Bank of England has decided to
appoint women as clerks, that various
merchants' offices are doing the same
thing, and that in certain branches of
the civil service women are being cm
ployed. It all means, he argues, that
10,000 men will be unemployed, will
seek fresh fields and pastures new,
leaving 10,000 women in their places
and 10,000 other women husbaudlessl
He finds no ray of light in the gloomy
prospect. He admits that the country
will save about 500,000 a year by the
change. "But," he goes on, "10,000
possible families are not called into
existence. Now 10.000 families may
average 40.000 children. ; The country,
therefore, lo3es the work, brains, pro
ductive power, fighting power, colo
nizing power of 40,000 men and women.
Putting the productive power of one
person at 100, we have a loss In the
next generation of 4,000,000 a year.
Which is better to save 500,000 a year,
or to secure the services and strength
of 40,000 English men and women,
reckoned at 4,000,000 a year?"
Don't Von Know? -It
is not the use of slang which is to
be deprecated, remarks All the Year
Round, it is the abuse of It, The girl
who, every time she opens her mouth,
projects from it some such word as
"awfully" "awfully nice," "awfully
horrid," "awfully square," "awfully
round," and so on, until you wish that
she would, at any rate, advance Into
the alphabet as far as the b's is not
only a slangy person; she is also, in all
human probability, a fool. The same
civil observation applies to the man
who has become indissolubly joined to
some slangy catch phrase as, for
instance: "Don't yon know" "He's a
nice fellow, don't you know," "It seems
tomato be a queer start, don't you
know," "I can't stand clever people,
don't you know." We quite realize the
truth of his last statement without
his putting himself to the trouble
of giving It audible utterance, just as
clearly as we surmise that It is Just
possible that clever people can't stand
him.
Mother-ln-I-aw to the Mlkada.
The mother-in-law of the mikado of
Japan has recently been 111. She was
attended by four hundred and twenty
three physicians, but in spite of that
she pulled through. In connection
with the Illness of this Illustrious lady
the Buddhist priests have been claim
ing that it was caused by the Introduc
tion of railroads Into the kingdom.
Their argument was a very powerful
and convincing one, too, in their own
estimation, since It showed conclusive
ly that when there were no railroads In
the kingdom the empress was in good
health and after the Introduction of
railroads she became III. They were
astonished that anyone should disputt
ao logical a proposition.
