The owner was ulx.ut completing the
sale of the house to a lawyer when a
word was dropped as to tie uncanny

would-W purchaser immediately de
clined to proceed further with the ne

cheerfully took the honx-. phost and
all. and perhaps he was a little dLscp
rointod when the trim m i of Some

There is a canal in Iln-land which
cost eLhty thousand pounds to con

hundred pounds. It is known as the
Sturt Nat hation. and dates from the
reipn of tieorpe III. In lsTtl a firm of
brewers obtained it for fifteen thou
sand pounds, as they found that v. hen
their malt was carried quietly by canal
a saving in value was eflcctod, as

DISEASE SPREAD BY DOGS.
So in MartUnc StatWtics from thr Trruch
l!-Iablle ICrgirUin; ConauciplluB.
Consumption now carries off Eve per
thousend persons in France, or one
hundred and seventy thousand a year,
says the London Idspatch. In Iln
land the mortality has fallen to two
per thonsaud. The towns where this
K'ourgc is most intense are Paris, where
the mortality from it is one out cf fivo
deaths: Dijon and Nancy, where it is
one out of seven, and Marseilles, where
it is one out of six. At the Protectant
congress ut Havre, held to study f pe
cial questions in a practical ma niter.
Ir. liilbcrt, who Is a consumptive spe
cialist, said that drunkards arc partic
ularly subject to it- There is a drunk
ard's phthisis. Now, the habitations
of inebriates arc dirty and ill-kept
and cleanliness isagrat obi tuck to
the spread of contagious diseases. Ia
La Cite Havraise. or mansions built f i
working-class tenants, the niortality
from con-.umption is very high, not
withstanding the hygienic principles
according to which the architect
worked. There were five out of twelve
deaths from consumption. This might
W explained from the tenants habit
of spitting al-otit- A woman's dress
that swept the spautaof a consumptive
on the stairs picked up the perms,
which she inhahsd when brushing the
parmenL Dr. JilWrt is, for this rea
son, against tenement houses or man
sious for the poor. The shaking of
clothes and Wd.ling from the v. iadows
and balconies was another "-ource of
contaioa. The subject of dogs as a
means of propagating consumption
.wa.s also gone into. A report of Prof.
Cadiot, of the veterinary school of
Alfort. shows that they ia .r-t often W
a vehicle forsprca-.eing it, lie tuul
long treated flogs suffering from tu'.s-r-cuIoms
for cancer, but latterly the i.ii
croseopo showed him what their dis-ea-sj
was. Iletween the lith of last
March and the 7th of April eight dogs
died at Alfort of tuWrenlosis. Front
the 1st of OctoWr. to the 1st of
August, Itj;-, J,e made forty post mortem-;
ottt of nine thousand, and found
in all the forty cases tuWreulosis to L-e
the cause of death. 1 he disease ts
very catching from a, dog. H origin
ates in the intestinal mucus. W'cattts;
dogs eat Wnes picked by taWreular
patients and lick np what they leave
on plates. They aLso keep about thcia
if attached to them and in this way
some pet affected through the lun-s.
If the d:tt is often contaminated by
the human patient he in titr.i spreads
the disease to other human W-iags.

A RUNAV.'AY TRAIN.
It CooMo't f .tra. and ftoa'Jy K'.t
I p a Toira.
A DenrerA Kio .ramie engineer. saj
the Pittsburg dispatch, r-iates an ex
citing incident of rail road In r in Colo
rado. The IVnver A Rio (iiande end
the Santa Fe lines run para!!. I from
Denver south to Pueblo. From !eiirtr
to Palmer lake, sixty-seven miles, tlm
road raakes tn ascent of two thou.-an'l
f.-et. aud from Pulmer lake to Pueblo the
descent ts two thousand feet in aW.nt
the same distance. At several pdr.ti,
(total iy ten miles south of l'a'mi-r
lake, the prado is s..tncthing teni:lc.
At a pfiir.t six or right miles Wlotv
Palmer lake there is a sidin. when"
carfare occasionally set oat when
train is too heavy to make the summit
of the divide.
A Santa Fe freight running from
Pueblo to IVnver, had made this sid
ing, said the Colorado ruilro;'..t man ia
relating the story, and wa. doing some
& witching. Two box ears with a brake-iti.-tn
on them were left on the main
line w hile the engine and reitia'nder
i f the train w ere on the si.'..- I rack.
The cars started down the hill and the
brakeman ran to the brake on the lir-1
car, expecting to stop them w ith onrt
or two tnriit on the brake w heel. Ti e
brake chain was broken. He ran to the
second brake. The brake nl there
was uncoupled: nothing remained to
ho! t the cars. P.y this time tlie un
manageable cars were potug down the
tiil! at the rate of eight or ten mil. s an
hour. The brakeman jumped. As the
cars .'lid down the frrade their speed
increased with every turn of the
w heeds.
A glance at a time card showed the
train crew that No. 9, the Pueblo ex
press, had left Colorado Springs.
There were bnt two telegraph offices
Wtwecn the flying cars and the fast
express ia a distance of twenty miles.
Hut one thing was to W done the en
gine must catch the runawav cars.
Away they went, down the hill. It's
never necessary to work steam going
down that prade, but the engine was
wide; open. They were backing her.
and it seemed every moment as if the
tank would jump tha rails. Soon the
cars crmc in sight. A nervy brake
man climbed over the roar end of the
lank. lowered himself onto the
swinging brake Warn, and stood rea ty
to make the coupling. They passed
Hasted running sixty miles an heitr.
The bumpers at last came t iget'.ier,
but the brakeman could not make th?
coupling. Again and again he tried,
but every time f:.:h '.. Four miles
away the lit:! .- to-.va Fountain could
W f-eea a they shot around the point
of the f.iothills. The er"ine was
screeching as if she were alive.
A man st'o-.l on the depot pi. form.
He fT.ied a minute up tiie hill, made
a dash fur the switch, and threw it
and No. 9 and her half-hundred pass
enger.? were safe. Steam was shut
off and the engine slowed down. A
quarter of a mile ahead tiie two box
cars took the spur and ran the length
of the long track. Then half the town
was in ruins. The ears that the train
cre-.v had Wen chasing an t bumping
into jor ten minutes were loaded with
dynamite.
THE MOTION DENIED.
A Jn-J;e Vtho S as Seiner!. at nt a SHei
trr for t'ta-iliass.
They tell a good story about a judge
who is well known ia Hi.ITa! ) even if
ha does not hold curt here, says the
Ih'll'alo Fxpivss. Sorue time ngo a
man who is a snide lawyer came l .'ore
him to make a motion. This man lived
ia one of the suburban towns, and he
was not particularly r-crupnhius as re
gards his personal appearance. In
deed, on the morning on which he
came Into court Ut make his motion
he wa. iirc:w-vd ia a dirty c at, a vest
that was covered w ith sta"... , .".. :..
soup, tobacco and other like i!ro
pings, and his hands were unclean, and
hi-, shoes covered with :r.u;L
He waited until he had an op-a.r-tunity
to address the judge, and then
made his motion. It was ci.rt'y a
perfunctory sort of an affair, to open
up a ca-e or something of the hind,
and not one in a thousand is rcfu-cd
by any judge. Kvery body in the court
room was. therefore, greatly snrpried
when the j.tdge thundered out: "IK.
niedl" The man himself was completely
taken almck. He ro-o to his feet and
stammered and stuttered, and linaliy
said: "Your honor, I hop., you have not
mistaken the import of this motion. It
is a mere foiaiai aa.iir. I fail to see on
what you base your decision."
"I'vcicd:" roared the judge again.
"out. tour honor," the lawyer went
on, ""I think you must be lais.ring un
tkr a uiisiii ,.Tciici!sion. This is f no
importune.:. There jJi't a uir.l on
earth w ho Isn't W ill'ii;,' F.at the luolii u
should bti crante.1."
'Tt's denied. I te-H yoa," said the
judge again.
'"Will your honor kindly state the
proundson which the denial is made?"
The judge straightened up in his
chair, took tiff his cyc-plasses at 1
looked severely at the lawyer. He ex
tended his hand tnd pointed one of his
long lingers at him. "The motion is
denied for two reasons" he .said, im
pressively: '"First, you are not a regu
lar member of the bar and entitled to
practice in a conrt of record; second,
vou need a bath."
