The Bivalves Said to Be Tee ml n* with Typhoid Bacilli and Other Germ»—An Instance In Proof. i The opinion of a celebrated writer on medicinal subjects is that the oyster mus go if the hitherto consumer would fuel reasonably secure of his health.

In tlx article referred to it is shown how a case of typhoid fever in the f.itnily of the prince of Walt* «eve»nU years ag > was traced directly to the us? of the oynter as a food. The health officer of 1 >ubl in about ten years ago truoed an epidemic of typhoid fever to t: •• aan source. The Brit.ah Medical «1 jurnaJ has given much attention to th s hi jectand reaches Uie conclusion to w hich nearly aJl bar ter iol £ Sts have com«*, that where shell fish have been aul - jt*cud to contamination those partok ir.p of such shell fish are exposed to th«- grave daj.gcrof infection. Two or three years ago an epidemic cf typhoid fever in W caleyan university st Middletown, Conn., was trured direct I. to the use of oyrtera that had I «•* l.ittened at the mouth of a drain, wlii< drain came from a house where a • uf fcrer from typho <1 fever had «lied. A fact worth repeating in connection with this incident is that among those stu dents who eschewed raw oyster«, ?nt- ir.gcsily those that had been thoroughly cooked, there was no typhoid. Nearly all those, however, who partook of the rnw material suffered and several di<-d. In answer to the suggestion thiit un- wlfuleeoote oysters can be prevented bv SfM'ing to it that oyster beds are n.ain- tained where there is no •rwvq.'c, the wnuv insists that to l»e atioceaflful oy ster beds must generally be ks ated about tlm mouths of rivers und near some large city so that contamination is tlu* rule, not the exception- Tlir Inn- gtmge of the British Medical Journal in treating of th si subject is: "The oyster is fond of typhoid bacilli It cats them ns a tidbit. It will not miss a chanori of »«'allowing million > of the mischief making germa if theop jorlunity is afforded and smh an op portunity ia cure to come to every oj sirr that Brea long enough Indeed, tliis is the very businets« for «.hich nn tune designed the oyster ho it cannot lie censured for ita activity in collecting tyfihoid twilli and other gvmia.” The concl uakm of t he « hole matter na draw n by% the writer is that Uie only safety is to discard tlx* oyster from our bill of fare altogether, that it may b** «luoicwoinr and prcqier food for <-<>r moranta, fish hawks n-iul tpfkey buz rnrds, but that tlx* human stomaoh ww.« never intended U> be sepulcher for scavengers no matter whether marine or nruudaiM-> Modern Medicine.

Demand for American Hardwoods Steadily Growing on thr Continent. A significant fact in the industrial world of Europe is the steadily increas ing dranaiid fen- hard woods that are in digenous to the soil of America. As may be supposed, oak leads the foreign shipments, although tulip, poplar, ash, gum and black walnut, w henever a good quality can tie secured, are in some de mand. European consumers like the quality of American oak, and, since it io known to lie plentiful here, it will protiably he bn increasing demand. Cot tonwood han been shipped to Germany in considerable quantities, where cheap wood is required for furniture, a rut other us»**«. Much of this lumlier is forwarded from New Orleans, and since iigivut part of the oak, ash, poplar, cot- tonvood and other timbers demanded by the foreign market is in the south ern states, it is not improbable that lumlier for foreign markets will I m * largely shipped in future from the gulf porta. In sjieaking of thus matter the Northwestern Lumberman says that the European market requires lumber cut of exact thickness, and of accurate length, trimmed so as to have the butts «quart* and true, Sjiace for piling in the yards of t he old world is an object, so that random, uneven lengths are objec- tionaliie, and, since the foreign buyer insists that he shall have just what he bargains for, quality should be strictly attended to. THE PRESIDENT AND HIS SALARY <«n Hr Live nt F.nae on the Income from Ilia “RtlnKa! “I shall not attempt to answer the question: How much of his salary does the president expend?” writes ex-Presi- drnt Harrison in an article in the 1/adies’ Home Journal, on “The Social Life of th»k President.” ‘‘But those who think he «-an live at hia vtu*e afu*r his le- tireiuent on the income from hia sav ings ahoukl take account of several things: First, that the net income from safe investment* does not exceed four per cent.; second, t hat the amount invested in a home yields no income, and third, that- he must have a private Mcretary, for hia mail will be so large that he cannot, deal with it himself. A son of one of our moat eminent presi dents «ho hail lost all of his means told me that it was pathetic to see his father, who was in ill health, laboring beyond hia strength to answer the letters that came to him. But. if the president re tains a fair measure of health he will take ca re of hima<*lf. If he was ever capable of directing the affairs of the nation he may l>e trusted to administer bis own buaineaa; and if he has won the esteem of hia fellow-citizens, and has rightly valued it, he will not barter it for riches.
