If the lobes are radically malformed we
call tho animal 'trefa,' or unclean, and there-

tissue of the lungs has holes in it it is a dis
ease, but may bo cured, but if the underly
ing skin has holes also it is 'trefa.' Some
tunes the holes are very small in both integu
ments. We place the lungs in water and
inflate them through the windpipe. If there
are air bubbles that shows perforation. The
lobes of tho lung must not bo adherent to
the body of the animal or each other; that
shows that there are boles and pus has gen
erated, thereby causing this sticking to
gether. This is 'trefa.' If the outer skin is
hard and loathery it is 'trefa. If the luus
cannot be easily inflated and fall together,
that shows inflammation and consequent fill
ing up of the bronchial tubes. This disease
is curable."

Eaid to a reporter:
Tho subject of tuberculosis is one of great
interest to me, as it must be to every medical
man. After receiving my education In the
University iledical college in this city twenty
years ago, I returned to my home and prac-
ncea in iisia Minor three years, and in Con
stantinople twelve years. I may say that I
had a very large practice, but being a Chris
tian X had some trouble with the Greeks, so
lour years ago jl packed up my belongings
and brought my family to New York.
"Now, during all those years in the East I
rarely came across a case of tuberculosis, and
I have formed a very strong opinion on the
cause of the absence of the disease in that
part of the world. Tho Parisian congress
found that by cooking meat well and boiling
milk there was less danger of catching the
disease. And this conforms with the result
of my experience in Asia Minor and Con
stantinople. There the natives eat generally
mutton and drink goat's and sheep's milk.
They scarcely touch beef or cow's milk, but if
they do they cook the meat well and always
ferment the milk. Here the mistake seems
to be that people imagine that there is more
nourishment in rare meat and milk from the
cow, but this is a fallacy, and I am glad that
the Parisian congress reported it as such."

maker tho other day of a well to do cus
tomer. "A lost! what torP was the surprised re
joinder. "In order to get a erfoct fit for your foot,"
answered the shoemaker.
And after a brief conversation the cus
tomer had his measure taken for a last, and
his bunions, corns and chilblains will receive
due anatomical consideration.
"About 00 per cent, of my customers have
their own lasts," said the shoemaker subse
quently, "au.l they are all perfectly satisfied
with the ease and iwfect lit of their shoes.
There are some men on my books whom I
haven't seen for Gve years. They simply
send me a written order for a jair of shoes
or boots, and as I have their lasts there is no
fxtra measuring to be done. The shoes are
made, and the only reply I get is a check for
the bill when it is presented."
"What does a last of this chan-acter costr
"Well, from $5 to 15, according to the

some are suffering with bunions; some have

avo men particular about the shape of
their shoes as a class?"
v en, i should say so. There is scarcely
a customer of mine but is as anxious to cet a

s" looking snoe as a lady is. Uf course,
mey insist that tho shoe must fit and be easy,
out mey are just as anxious that it shall be
irim and neat. Many of them want little
leforniities hidden by a general change
in iue suape or the shoe, and then,
igain, some will wear an extra amount of
leather to cure a slight limping in their gait,
swing to the fact that one leg is a trifle
ihorter than the other. Altogether I think
men are as particular in this regard as the
ladies.
SHOES FOR DEFORMED FEET.
"Then, again, there are a number of
actually deformed feet for which shoes have
to be made, and in these cases we have to
take a perfect plaster cast of the foot, and
form the mold, construct a last upon which
to construct a good fitting shoe, which will
aliow of ease and comfort in walking. Some
men have feet that turn up on the outside,
and, of course, the soles of their shoes have
to be so put on as to allow for the wear on
that jwirticular place.
"We have some very queer specimens,"
said tho shoemaker, and he produced a col
lection of lasts that looked as though they
might do service in a dime museum. Some
were of club footed men; some of men whose
feet turned inward; some with phenomenally
high insteps and some with no insteps at all.
A rather pain suggesting assortment had
little lumps and bumps upon them which told
the story of corns and bumps all too plaint
ively. The collection was a decidedly unique
an e.
xou've no idea how particular a gentle
man with a pet and carefully trained bunion
is to have a good looking shoe, and at the
same time to have it so that there will be no
pinching or pain when it is worn. Other
men have gracefully formed feet, entirely
clear of the slightest blemish, and these ara
peculiarly anxious to have a shoe made that
will do full justice to the beauty and sym
metry of their pedal extremity. It must not
be too long or too broad, the instep mnst be
gracefully arched, and the hollow in the ball
of the foot most carefully arranged. Now,
this can only be accomplished by having a
special last made, and it is to the credit of
these gentlemen to say that they never object
to the cost of such a luxury."
"Of what material are these lasts generally
made?"
"Mostly of maple or persimmon wood.
When properly seasoned, these woods do not
warp or crack, and are easily worked into
the required shape. Sometimes we make the
first lasts of cork, which is easily cut Into
form, and after that we make them of the
wood," Chicago Herald.

word covers only the mianiug of another

as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
froai a diseased condition of the Liver

"When Wo Study Great Anthnri.
What we all want is better order In our
daily thoughts, a clearer vision, a firmer
courage. True culture of course implies
progress in these directions, but much that
passes for culture does little or nothing either
lor the mind or for the character. Much de
pends on the end wo keep in view. If w9
study great authors for the sake of showine-
as it were, an elaborately furnished drawing
room in our minds, we shall get about tho
same amount of benefit as people commonly
get from elaborate drawing room furniture;
but if we study them so as to gain a wider
outlook on the world through understanding
their thought and duly estimating the condi
tions under which they wrote if, moreover,
we prove ourselves from time to time to see
whether we are really gaining in mental
power tne Denent to us may be very great.
