JsOii. \ Modern Medical Achievements. Great are the achievements of con temporary science in the department cf therapeutics. No one who has un dertaken to raise a family can fail, or at least should fail, to be thankful for onti-toxine. It has really annihilated the worst terrors of diphtheria, and grateful voices rejoice in it wherever has been used. Its success, says Har per's Weekly, revives hope that the wise nen will presently learn to deal effectu ally with the bacilli of consumption, and of cancer, too, if it should turn out, as begins to be suspected, that cancer ,is a communicable disease. Every great medical discovery seems to tend to run itself somewhat out of breath at ilic start. After the operation for appendi citis was invented it was thought that 'skillful surgeons who knew how to do it were somewhat too willing to per form it, and slit open a good many peo ple who would have got on better un opened. One hears now that as the nov elty of the operation has worn off, and .the doctors have grown more used to it, it is used with a riper discrimina tion than at first, and has grown surer and safer and a little less frequent. Just now the medical novelty seems to Je the pursuit of the microbe. It is ienrried on with an ardor that some times makes both laymen and doctors smile. One hears such stories as that of a man who went to his physician with a slight sore throat, left a little of the lining of it to be examined, got a gargle, and went home. That night he went to 4lie theater, but was called out in the middle of the performance and told that the membrane from his throat hod diphtheretic microbes in it, and that he must go home, which he did; but all the folks with sore throats in the audience who happened not to have seen a physician staid the show out. .TVe laugh at the multiplication of pre cautions, and we think our medical .masters aspire for us to an impractica ble degree of security. But we don't laugh very hard, and we do as we are told, confident that after all that is known has been done for our protection there will still be a great plenty of chances for us to take. Origination of ••Lynch Law." From the Lansford Record. Jauies Lynch, a prosperous wine merchant of Galway, traded largely with Spain, and sent. bis son tlieu i< purchase and ship a cargo. The young man spent the money intrusted to him. and obtained credit from the Spani.n I whose nephew accompanied him on hi departure from Spain, to receive pay foi the wine purchased, and to open trade with other merchants of Galway, then one, of the most prosperous towns ol Europe. On his roturn voyage young Lynch conspired with the crew of the ship t< throw the young Spaniard overboard, in order to hide his crime. Several years after, one of the sailor dying told of the drowning, and Waltci Lynch was tried for the crime and con victed, his father bring the judge. Some of tbe relatives wentto intercede with the father for the son s release from prison, where he was awaiting the day ol execution. Fearing that an interview with them might move him from lii determiuation to see the law fullilled, IK had liiin executed before their arrival. On approaching the house, the friend saw the lifeless body dangling from OIK of the windows. Many say that Lynch himself was theexcutioner.. We often hear it said that the t-rni "Lynch law" originated in th wv-u .-I out country, when a certain Judge Lym-h executed his son; but the occurrence •n --tloned above occurred about the time ol the discovery of America, and very prob ably gave rise to the term.

Revival of the i • One of the i.:•• jthismuch-niiouivt!. i of the century is t he : ; ing bee, enthusiast; cully i . : * Hartford (Conn.) contciu; •: barn party has struggled hard i<> • : i the better of it. "Barn party"—ineon I gruous name—brings to mi ml u lioo; nicely polished for dancing to the mu sic of the city orchestra, with no trace of hay or straw and the horses resting in roomy stalls. "Barn party" belongs to the city-village and marks a weak ' attempt to bring together the old and the new. In "liusking bee" there is the odor of the breath of cattle, the J light of the jack-o'-lantern, the warmth ! of the summer sun stowed a\yay in the ! mows, the dancing of bright eyes, the laughter of rod-cheeked girls, the gur gle of the eider jug, and withal the itching from the rye-beards that make the dust on the rough board lloor. "Husking bees" belong to the coun try cross-roads and beyond. We know there is a revival of them because al most every one of our state exchanges ' mentions them in its correspondence, but, unfortunately, not enough atten tion has yet been given to them In print to make a boom. The nearest to it was | when it was written of a bee over in \ East Hartford that it was decided to i call all the ears red ears, and "the girls > liked it." A WHITER in Vanity has discovered that the. duclious of Marlborough, then Miss Consuelo Vandcrbilt, spent last Halloween with her mother at Blen heim, where the company indulged in the old-world pastime of throwing ap ple parings over shoulders in order to find out the initial letter of the young ladies' future husbands' names. Miss Consuelo filing licr paring high into the air; it circled round three times and fell to tlie ground in the shape of a capital "M." The Psychological so ciety is about to Investigate this mys tical occurrence, and apple parings will be at a premium on next All Saints' day. Pari, ian belles have taken up the idea, and for the first time this ancient sport will be practiced in Fiance, in stead of the old-fashioned sowing of millet seed, and gazing into the mir ror to sc e the eidolon of the future hus band. IT is a wcll-l:uown fact that rats and mice do not infest a house at the same time. Working upon the hint as to the nature of rodents, N. K. La ure son, of Vieksburg,Miss., has adopted a scheme by which he keeps himself rid of both pests. This he accomplishes by cap turing a young rat and training him to catch mice. This singular inouser, whose name, by the way, is Czar, is doubtless the most successful one on record, lie has been taught to pounce upon a mouse on short order, without fear and without favor, and he shows no mercy. Of course, he can follow the mice into close quarters, and has never been known to lose his quarry. Strange to relate, large rats have given the house the go-by also,seeming to under stand that the place belongs to Czar, and that there must be no encroach ment upon his prerogative. IT is doubtless a delicate recogni tion of the inalienable rights of the ruling race in that region that causes the wardens of the county jail at Phoenix, A. T., to put the Mexican pris oners on the lower lloor and reserve the upper story for American prison ers. There are now 17 prisoners in the jail, 33 Mexicans and the rest Amer icans. The latter have the upper story entirely to themselves. This is in the region where a little while ago it was customary to speak of so many white men and so many Mexicans, or, as one miner put it in the case of a mining ac cident, the loss was "seven souls and five Mexicans." TIIE complete mortgage statistics of the country have been published by the census bureau, and the t tal amount of mortgage debt shown to have been in existence January 1, .890, w as $2,200, 1-18,431 on acres, and $3,810,- 531,554 on lots. In other words, the total private debt of the United States secured by real estate mortgages is over $0,000,000,000, or an average of about SIOO per capita for each person in the country. TIIE following interesting story comes from the south. Trone. Wilson, an aged colored convict, who was par doned by Gov. Atkinson the other day. I is supposed to bo the last slave in this j country lo be given his freedom. When j the emancipation proclamation was is i sued lie w as charged with being acces sory to a murder, and was sent to the penitentiary, where he remained until pardoned. IT lias been discovered that part of the new Colorado gold lands are lo- I cated at Pike's fYak reservation, and ; it will be necessary to get a government i patent before mining properties can be acquired there. Perhaps +he United j States government is not so poor as it is painted. i PHILADELPHIA has a cremation so ciety which was organized in is' 8, and the number of bodies cremated each 1 year since then has increased steadily, this year reaching 89.

For a number of years back the idea lius been promulgated among a certain i class of ailing eastern people that all j that is necessary for the complete re- j covery of health is a "change of cli- j mate," and the opinion has become ! very general that California is the one place, of all others, where may be found j climatic conditions which are a pan a- j oea for all ills of humanity. In regard j to the fallacy of such a belief a writer in Popular Science Monthly very truly says: "What is the seuse of telling a pa tient with a hole at the top of his lung to 'go to California' without instruct ing him in regard to the location to which he should go, or at least what kind of climate he should look for? | With out some specific information such a patient is likely to drop into ( a place better calculated to shorten jtlmn to prolong liis days. To be sure, all the climates of California are char acterized by a dryness exceeding what ,is known in the east, and this fact 'gives some relutive advantages. Iut unquestionably the oir may be too airy in certain localities for certain cases. Is it not too much to expect a patient to find out what the doctor .who sends him away from home and friends himself docs not know? Be sides, there are man}' constituent ele ments which enter in to make up what we call "climate." The first of these to be mentioned is usually the ther monietricul readings, and the "mean" •temperature is generally quoted as proof positive of superiority when it varies a few degrees one way or the other from that of another locality .with which it is compared. Now, the truth is, that to know the mean tem perature of a place, and to know only that, is to know very little about its climate. The physiological effects of a climate must necessarily include the degree of humidity, the force and di rection of the prevailing winds, the sunshine and cloudiness; the fogs and their characteristics—whether thin or dense, high or low, whether coming down from the mountains or rolling in from the sea; besides other unmeos uruble influences not seen though felt; all these and more must be appre ciated in order to give the single factor of relative temperature any positive quality whatever. A Cm®AGO man fed a few nickels into a slot machine in a saloon t he other day without obtaining therefrom such re turns as the contrivance was advertised to make, and being in a somewhat hi larious frame of mind he determined to visit upon the thieving device such pun ishment as in his inebriated opinion it truly merited. Producing a young can non from his pocket he forthwith and with great accuracy poured into the vitals of the machine the contents there of, with disastrouseffect to the machine but with very beneficial effect upon his mind. The shooter escaped arrest, which may encourage him to goon in the good work so successfully started. No BETTER picture of the cowboy's peculiar traits and manners could bo had than that indicated in outline by a little incident in Tucson, A. T., a few days ago. A cowboy was brought into Tucson from a range in the St. Simon valley to be treated for a wounded in step, which hud been shattered bj' a pistol bullet of big caliber. The shoot ing, it was explained, occurred during a round-up. There was no quarrel be tween the injured man and the man who shot him, "but one morning when t.'.cy got out the air was pretty crispy, m I they began shooting at each other to increase the circulation of their blood." THE constitution of Utah contains several new features. Tor instance, it provides that juries shall consist of eight men instead of 12, and that in civil cases three-fourths of the number nay render a verdict. Another provis ion is to the effect that the state shall never go into debt exceeding $200,000, except in ease of insurrection; and an other guarantees to every citizen the right to obtain employment wherever possible, and makes any interference with this right a crime. It is generally known, of course, that suffrage is given to women on equal terms with men. PROSPEROUS in so many things the year 1595 was the least productive of the last 20 years in the matter of rail roads. Only 1,782 miles of track were laid. In 18S7, 12,000 miles were put 'down. The Railway Age thinks the bot tom has now been reached and sees great activity ahead. A CHICAGO judge lias just rendered a decision admitting women to the open board of trade in that city. This is another victory for the new woman, for it means that she has the same right as a man to gamble.

A healthier, heartier, happier man j than John J. Neill, of 2437 Nortli Eighth street, Philadelphia, could not be found in a day's search. The fact that he is still alive is a constant wonder to his friends. In the fall of 1889 he began to suffer indescribable miseries from stone in the bladder. Consulting an eminent physi cian in Philadelphia, lie was told that a surgical operation was necessary. So much did lie dread the result, for if un successful it meant death, that he put oIT the evil day as long as possible. While in this frame of mind, ho heard of DR.
