Xheorles rm to Consumption. Dr. Byron died in New York from consumption taken from the bacilli he inhaled. Thousands have died in the same way. Tt is now held by some men of medical scienco that consumption is tho result of bacilli and does not come a9 formerly held from heiedity. It is taught now that it in the ear ly Stages it is curable like any oth er disease. Many cases come from exposure. There have been many interesting reports published from time to time to show that con sumption is "catching'' like other infectious diseases. This is true, we Fuppoaa. The London Lancet and other medical journals have given striking cases in which con sumption comes from nursing and in families in which the disease had not been known. A German expert or authority holds that phi hisis or consumption is com municated. Tho Baltimore Her ald gives as the result of his ob servation and experiment this that "children of consumptive pa rents are often weak and narrow chested, but they may b mad t acquire a healthy, constitution ny a proper mode of life. He has collected statistical information which tends to show that the length of time spent in the open air has an important bearing upon the extent to which consumption prevails. He found that the per centage of deaths rapidly rises with advancing age after ihe 15th to 20th year, whereas it fell from 23.45 for children less than 1 year old to 4.6G for children from 5 to 10 years. When children once be gin to walk they are taken more frequently out door3. This condi tion continues until the time when they enter the workshops and oth er establishments to become pro ducers. All the varying periods are acurately reflected in the death rate. Even during the school years there is already an increase from 4.60 between the ages of 5 and 10 to 5.85 for the years 10 to 15. After that the advance is rap id. Of persons 15 to 20 years old 18.37 per cent, of the deaths are from consumption ; 20 to 25 years, 3G.37 per cent. ; 30 to 40, 41.12 per cent. ; 50 to 00, 07.94 per cent. ; 00 70, 93.18." There are some doctors who hold that consumption is not infectious, cannot be comraumicated. But we supposo true and advanced science is against this view, In the North we notice opinions from time to time are given that the sputum ot consumptives is dan gerourf that when it dries and fills the atmosphere that it is in haled and the seeds or germs planted in this way in mar.y cases. Some writers insist that consump tives should be isolated like pa tients mlected with other diseases. and that isolation in a positive necessity. They even go so far as to insist upon hospitals for this class of patients. That it is cura ble in many cases is known As far back as sixty years ago a case of cure was known as shown by re suHs of treatment and an autopsy of the xatient after death. The lungs were found ccvercd with scars of the healed tubercles. The Herald says that "when the prim ary causes of consumption are once properly understood, and the importance of habits upon the dis. ease is 'appreciated, may we not hope to overcome in' a great meas ure a destroyer which carries off a larger number of people than the plague." We have known of other cases of cure where physicians had agreed as to the disease being genuine pthisis. Dr. Fairchild, cf Pans, faid a quarter of a ceutury ago that he believed he had cured a thousand consumptives.

The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record has intei- I viewed a number of public men, including scientists, soldiors and stntfsmen to ascertain whether they believe a man can die of fright. There are many authenti cated cases given. Ex-Surgeon General Morse gives this instance: "I have read of a well -authenticated case where a man died of fear. Ho was tho victim of a prac tical joke. His tormentors took him into a dark room, held a mock trial and pretended to sentence him to death. The sentence was that he should be bled to death, and they pi et ended to prick his veins. Then he was turned over on his side and made to believe that his blood was trickling from him. , In order to strengthen this deception they dropped water from a pot into a pan and the victim, hearing the dripping, believed that ii. . i . i . . i- i . me roo(i was leaving his hotly ; and died of fright." Representative Henderson, of Iowa, reports a similar case, which was told him by his brother aa having occurred in a medical col lege at which the latter was a stu dent in Aberdeen, Scotland. An old professor wos obnoxious to the students, and to punish him they arranged a practical joke. Enter ing his room at night masked, they bound him and took him to a car riage, which was driven around for half an hcur to make him believe that he was being carried out of j the city. Then they took him to a room, where a mock trial was! held, and he. waS sentenced to death. They prepared an execu tioner's blocir, compelled him to kneel and pHce his head upon it and then struck him across the back of his neck with a damp cloth. The shock produced appo plexy, to the consternation of the students, who hastily carried his body to his own room and left it in such a position as to lead to the belief that he had fallen in a fir when alone. Gen. Wade Hampton said he never knew a man to be scared to death in battle, altnough there wei'6 a great many cases of death which might be attributed to this cause. Men were repeatedly found dead upon the field without wounds upon them. He does rec ollect, however, a case of a man whose death was caused by his be ing drafted into the Confederate army. He had at intense horror of 'being forced into service, and immediately after he learned that he had been conscripted was taken ill. The provost marshal believed that he was feigning and attempt ed to punish him,but the man kept growing worse and finally died from no disease but the dread of goiug into the army. Ex.

The landlady caught the biscuits and I caught the devil (as well as the tomatoes). It cost me just $2,50 to pay for the dish es." Washington Post. Iiicreusintr Prosperity. Throughout the entire country there are evidences ot a very de cided revival in business interests A careful study of the situation would seem to indicate that this improvement is not merely a tem porary one tor tho better, but that it is the beginning of a long peri od of prosperity. Reports from manufacturing establishments show an increasing demand lor nearly all lines of goods, a tenten cy to higher tn'ices, and mere sat isfactory than all else, a very de cided increase in the wages ol thousands of operatives. In agri cultural products and in the stock market, as well as in manufactur ed goods, there has been a very considerable advance in prices, adding to the wealth of the coun try during the last month of six weeks some hundred of millions Of dollars. A comparison of present prices of leading stocks upon the New York market with prices a few months ago shows an increase in their aggregate value of over $300,000,000, while the increase in the value of agricultural products, the increase in the price ot iron and other commodities would add very materially to this sum. With this general improvement there naturally comes a more hopeful feeling everywhere, and unless some unforeseen conditions bring 1 about a reaction, we may look for a long, steady, upward movement j nipr.t nf business, and possibly for i J" 4 ... lacontinurlrise beyond the pres- friend travelling! , r . .
