The New York courts have just rendered a decision which, the Detroit Freo Press believes, will be of inestimable value if it shall bo accepted as a precedent in other States or even regarded popularly in the light of a warning. The Women's Memorial Association having decided to erect a statue at the World's Fair to the late Sirs. Hamilton Schuyler as "a typical philanthropist," the family . begged the association to desist from its fell design. The association persisting, the family took the matter ioto court nnd the association ha* h**en s?oWr\fdn, from carrying out its scheme. ~ino ground of the decisiou is that family sensitiveness is entitled to consideration and that nobo ly has the right, against the fa.uily protest, to even do honor, or what is intended as suc'a, to a deceased member ot the family. The Washington Star maintains that the great problem of the centuries has heea transportation. From the dawn of history man has struggled to get himself and what he needs across rivers, deserts, seas and oceans. It is a question of burdeu uud, more than that, a question of ekill. Without means of transportation in in would never have ? been civilize I. As tho older civilizitions used the shoulders of tne people and the cruder forms of invention to transport materials for temples and palaces, and the backs of beasts of burden for articles of commerce, so more modern civiliz itious with their increasing and higher wants have eventually, after a painful evolution, developed the steamer and the railway. This very generation itself has seen the beginnings of the railroad as something more than a local feeder for local ports, and the last saw the tirst locomotive draw the first train of cars. Much of this almost incredible, progress has been witnessed in the United States. Accordiug to Poor's Manual there vas at the Close of last year 170,GUI miles of track or -13.6 per cent, ol the world's total with ouly one-sixth of Europe's population. Tho value of the assets in 189J was $10,590,603,000. j\rtiiiiiiu<-> i iiiiMiuuu me mini lir.iusiry 01 the United States, the first and second being agriculture and manufactures. These are facts that show the wonderful development of the latter part of th< nineteenth centun*. A Washington correspondent says: The mints will have plenty of work during the coming year, without any ne.v legislation to compel additional coinage. The demand for the minor coins?the bronze one ceut pieces and the nickel fives?coutinue to keep the Philadelphia mint busy, notwithstanding the coinago of about tt >,()U0,0J0 of these pieces annually for the past four years. Orders for thein continue to come in from the various sub-treasuries, and the mint at Philadelphia is unable to catch up with the o .|,lcrs. The constant expansion of the l> hiness of the country makes the the drained a growing one for this and nil other forms of money, and will ptobably soon require a more extensive coinage at the other mints. The mints at New Orleans and 8.10 Francisco, as well as that of Pniindclphia, are working earnestly to recoin the worn subsidiary silver which is carried on the treasury books, into quarters and di nes.

The coinage of silver dollars has not entirely ceased, notwithstanding the suspension of compulsory coinage by the silver act of 1890 and tho decision of Sccictnry Foster not to continue tho coinage of $2,00'),003 per month without necessity. There is a demand for a certain quantity of silver each year when the crops are moved, and a certain margin is also require 1 at the sub-treasuries to meet oceaMOn ?l dcmauds and settle balances.

But sud- j? denly it is found out that the State for meily owned all the land from the head |r of the canal to Granby; that the State nevtr sold these lauds but simply soli a usufruct iuterest in |them till needed for cannl purposes.

It is said tec that on the Willcox & O'Neill phautatian whi at Kstill, S. C., sixty miles from Savun- 0J < nnh, Mr. W. P. Willcox has sucpc:ded 4. in raising some remaikahle tine Havana firrr tobacco from Uvelto Abajo seeds, whjch > is one of the best varieties grown in Cuba. pnr Fifteen acres were planted, but through trip insufficient knowledge of the proper ing methods of cu'tivation aud trouble with j)nr insects the crop was small. Even with tia< these drawbacks, however, the result havo pnr nettel nearly $100 per acre. With the <jav experience gained by this trial Mr. Will- yci cox thinks he can more than double his 8tCi returns next year, and will give about nnd seventy-five acres to it. The leaf has 8jg! been exainmed by experts, who pro the' I11C nounce it equal to any tobacco grown in Cuba. crc1l ii may take some years to acquire a full ^ ^ knowledge of the methods most sutisfuc- w tory for growing such a crop, and the j '' variety may cnangc unacr tne new conai j ^ tio;.s of soil and climate, but the expert' .J . mentis well worth trying, and even 1,1 though later crops shou'd not be of as high a vrade as this first'one, they will Hinmorj then pay the expense of cultivation. A careful study of what is needed , coup led wi h the judicious use of su table fertilizers, should at least aid in prevent- \ ing any material change in quality or ^ value of the leaf. _ era Goaded School Boy Avenges Himself. 1 A Vienua cablegram savs: At Tarnpol,in ^ Austrian Qallicin,a school boy named Schwedt, exas])ei\;^d beyond endurance wh by the harshness with which he had beea ' treated by a I'rof.

The development of the germ theory this disease enables the medical prosion to control it to a greater extent in formerly and suggests many means prevention entirely unknown during rmer epidemics. This cholera germ is idily propagated and rapidly inultiied in the alimentary canal, and its st existence is shown by a diarrlnei, lich should be cheeked at ouce, and if >sslble by remedies which at the sumo ne destroy the germs of the disease; e delay of a single hour in such cases hazardous, since it is only in the earlier iges of the disease that it is likely to eld to medical treatment, and hence e great necessity for having some retble remedy always at hand for such aergeucy uutil the services of a phyaiin can be secured. Hence alsn the opriety of usiug preventive medicines, well as a strict attention to tho diet id ordinary sanitary regulations duriug period when cholera and other infec )us diseases are prevalent. The gerin theory having been admit d, it follows that tho best preveutativr medy will he one which by expertice ha$ proved most effective in de roying those germs and one which inaj a used with the utmost safety. N< ther preventative remedies should b< laced in the hands of tho general pub c. The popular bolief that brandy anc her nlcohouc r.v.tnulunts arc u safe- | lard against the dreaded disease should discountenanced, since it is a wellown fact that those who are accusned to the use of such stimulants are long the first to succurnh to the dis>e. Brandy or whisky or gin may in ne cases be used to give temporary ief in tho earlier stages of the disease ion other remedies are not available t should in no caso be taken as a preitive. While it is ndmittcd that tho it medication is preventive, yet thero "ooai for choice iu this matter aud allo'ic beverages should be avoided as as possible during the heated term 1 more especially during a cholera demic. It should also be borne in nd that it is of tub utmost importCB that a physician should bb u,kl> at the bahlikrt possible most. Household remedies, while consent and indeed important to use imdiately on the appearance of the first optoms, should be considered simply a temporary expedient until profesaal skill can be secured, ill garbage should be burned, no filth decaying vegetable or unjm.i matter uld be permitted to remain unburnt, inf ~~ suld be freely applied icnever needed, but moit of all should oets, drains, outhouses and cellars bo efully looked after.

The importance of the santary condition of the oeller eon* not be overestimated. The stable and carriage hones la another fruitful source of disease and should " ^ ivw?? "ivre iorq oniUMTjr IKWliOB. The grades around the house should also be looked after that there be no jwols of stagnant water and If there ere shallow wells on the premises they ehould bo closed and hermeUoally sealed. In high localities the disease does not prevail to the same extent as on the lows* levels. Impure water, lowness of sites and the emanations arising from the decomposition of animal refuse, are sthted as the local causes whloh favor the propagation and development of the disease. Personal cleanliness is of such obvious * iraportanco that it would asem scarooly worth calling attontion te but for the faot that many very rsspedtabla-people are so partloulsr about the condition of the stomach and liver, kidneys and other organs that they almost entirely ignore the important functions performed by the skin. With a healthy skin, well cured for, one would have less occasion to consider internal organs. It is not eo much the matter of bathing as it is a necessity for exposing the entire surfaoe of the body to the atmosphere. The entire body should be sponfted off with water twico a day. A bath room is not a necessity, a basin of watsr, a sponge and a towel aro all that is reaily required, but tho ontiro body should be exposed to tho air during this ablution night and morning. The diet should be oarefully guarded though not necessarily restricted to any great extent. It should be suoh as to maintain the digostive organs and the gcnoral system in the best poesible condition without stimulation or rtnprs?|pu gdifrnM gpa?iat,qA,fe>tk jnynil M* * as those which ore overripe, should b? avoided.

In such cases eesesco of beef, beef tea, chicken soup with rice, broiled chicken, broiled beof steak,mutton o? lamb chops broiled,boiled rice,tea and toast and similar articles of food should be given the profcrence. Qum Arabic water with loaf sugar may bo used freely as a drink. Salt meats, fish whether frosh or salted, oysters, clams, vegetables, fruits and all greasy food should be avoided, end the pationt should be kept as quiet as possible, perfect rust being desirable. Excessive labor both of brain and body, worrimonts, anxieties, sudden changes of temperature and everything which tends to debilitate, enervate or depress the system should be avoided. Tiio necessity for pure drinking water has already been dwelt upon but this is a matter of such vital importance that it may well ho referred to again. A small quanity of citric acid or lemon juice i? added to tho water will be found both agreeable and beneficial and may be used as freely as desired. Cholera although infectious, spread by some liiddcu or diffusive power, is not a contagious disease. It in not conveyed by personal contact as is smnll-pox and some other diseases. It is important that this fact should be eraphasixsd so there need bo no hesitancy in caring for those afflicted with the disease. Apricot FsiU. Apricot paste, known as Kamar ?T Dine, is, together with dried spricoU, one of the principal oxports from Daraatcus. The fruit, when gathered, ie crushed iu a kind of large iron wire sieve, nwl the thick juice which result* from this operation is collected in earth* en vats, and then spread on planks covered with a layer of ojl, where it U allowed to rouiaiu two days exposed to the air. At the expiration of this time the paste is removed and turned.. On the fourth day the paste is again removed, and it then has the appearance of a hand of leather, very thin, and of a reddish-brown color, about a yard and a half long and half a yard wide. This is the finest quality of paste. The same operation is repeated once or twice to obtain a second and third quality, each time a little water being added to the residuum of the former operation. The bands of paste are then folded so as to form bundles of about live pounds weight, which are sold according to quality.? Bcientitic American. Vanderbllt's Way.

"Whom doeo it belong to!" was Mr. Vanderbilt's next question. "Td Ilerr Meyer, of Dresden," was the answer. That very night Mr. Vanderbilt dispatched a secretary to Dresden, who went straight to Herr Meyer and demanded to know his price.
