From the Pittsburg Dispatch, Nov. 17. There was great sport at J. M. Gusky’s, on Market street, last evening. The entertginment consisted of a pie-eating contest between thirty- three citizens, representing all colors and na- ities, as well as various degrees in the i scale. Each man entered under the firm f that he could get outside of more pies a other man in the country, and in con- it is presumed the thirty-three repre- similar number of men to be tound In western Pennsylvania. Long pefore the hour arrived for the contest to bezin, Market street and 4th venue were packed and jammed with a dense crowd of eager, shouting men, women and boys. making those thoroughfares almost im- Pp: The thirty-three occupied the large fronting Market street, stand- in rows along tables provided for the occa- aced astack con- pumpkin pies. Not third-rate arding-house pies, but the ood, old-fashioned kind our grandmothers used to bake, when flour was cheap and pumpkins as common as leaves in the forests. They weighed 14 25 ounces to the ple, and were about eight inches in diameter. A iuse gonz wassounded and the feast began. T. Ryan, of Washington city, a small, shabb loo man, with an ample mouth and a pow- erful appetite, was the first to tally, time 3¢ onds. His backer, who stood near by, remarked: “He's l—1 on pie, but I’m a leetie skeered about his stickin’ the thing out, for we had biled beef and cabbage for supper.” And the old man was correct, for Tom overshot himself on the fourth pie and quit. Everything was wild confusion for the next hourand a halt. About twenty minutes before | the close of the allotted time. number one, a tall, thin man wearing a claw hammer coat, stove-pipe hat and stand-up collar, had de- voured six pies and had aclean lead over the party. He was a wild-looking native and would pass among theater-goers as Soth- ern’s personation of the crushed tragedian. Aiter devouring six pies he remarked carelessly that “a man is a sucker to overload his stomach with pumpkin pie,” in ning twely «les of his companion withapparent relish. His side partner was an azed colored man. The old man lvoked up and inquired if the tragedian was through. Getting an affirmative answer, he smiled like a sunrise, and said, “Look out fo’ me, ‘ease I’se a comin now sho nuff,” and he kept his word. Chunk after chunk followed each other to the old man’s mouth and disap- peared until he hed eaten five and one half. Then he raised his head and winked at the trage- dian. This settled it. The wink brought him, and for the next two or three minutes his con- duct wasshockingly similar to that ofa sea-sick passenger. The colored man caught up another fragment of pie, but, like Banquo’s ghost, it would not down. In the second window was a group containing a colored man named C, Parsons and a hanghty Caucasian bearing the significant name of Ben- Jamin Franklin Buzzard. Mr. Buzzard is a me- dium built man with chin whiskers and a mild east of countenance. He didn’t seem to be in ‘thing of a hurry, but kept right on at the ‘ies before him. The absence of teeth in Mr. uzzard’s jaws made his work a trifle deceptive, man, and allowed he'd “git thar.” ‘And he did, for long after the balance of the party had quit he was found at his post, and when the gong tapped the closing hour he had downed 63; pies and still looked hungry, while his companton quit with 63 to his credit! ‘Thus the winners of 5 and $10 were B.

No time could be betterthan the presert for beginning the practice of house ventilation by ndow, which is still,in the majority of , the readiest and the safest means of ob- | \ining aregular and constant supply of fresh | air. This practice, begun in warm weather, may be carried on, with proper care, through autumn and winter. The constantly accumu- ities derived from breath, from creta of otier kinds col- 3, from the use of gas mp light, aud too often even now, from heat of house fires, ete., render it as necessary ealth as for comfort that these should have s, and that they should be substituted pure outer air. Fresh air from without easily be had without draught, and of cold even to delicate persons, it a few simple rules be observed. The cold air of winter ef course enters with greater force and in greater proportional volume than the more equable summer air, into awarm room. The aperture of Ingress must be correspond- ingly diminished. Air trom a window is prefer- able to that from an opened inner door, no mat- ter how roomy the house, from its more relia- ble purity. If the window be the inlet, the fire. fire- place, or it may be the door of a room in sum- mer acting as an outlet, or it may be opened from the top, the extent being reculated accord- ing to the outer temperature. There is then a direct Inward current at the upper part, which follows the roof of the room, thus mingling with any heated waste products which require to be removed, and an interrupted current at the middle, the previous line of junction of the upper and lower sashes, both are broken and diffused by the blinds or curtains. Venetians for this purpose should be turned upwards. A window should never be made to ventilate by opening It from below, unless the open lower space be filled up in some way, and ventilation be cartied on at the middle, where the sashes join; otherwise, draughts are unavoidable. The * REST FOR THE WEARY. A Remedy Recommended for Nervous Prostration. From the Providence Journal. There is an unusual amount of ilness this autumn of the type known as “nervous pros- tration.” It is prevalent among hard-worked people, who have been deprived of the needed summer rest and relaxation, men who carry their business home with them at night, and women who are worn out by domestic cares and weties. It is yery strange how much we are told about food, clothing, ventilation, drainage, exercise and other things which have an influ- ence on our health, and how very seldom we think of rest. And yet, as a remedial and res- torative measure. it is of the first importance In many cases. Most physicians know what to do and when to do it, but a good deal of common sense is required to discover how not to do something, and when to let the patient alone. A combination of drugging and fretting kills more than half the sick people in the world; a man’s enemies cannot do him near so much damaze as his friends. The world is pos- sessed with the notion that when a man is taken ill a terrible ado must be kept up, an alternation of nursing and fuss- ing; while preternaturally wise and whis- pering doctors, sympathizing friends, tear- ful relatives and chattering nurses add their contributions to the wrong side, and all because somebody is ill and needs chiefly Test. We have not yet, most of us, gotten rid of the old notign of the ancients that disease is @ personality, a something that is in the air, that travels about, enters our dwellings and finally seizes hold of us; something akin in the minds ot the ignorant to a goblin, ghost, flend, demon or witch, which only pills’ or potations can exorcise. kill or cure. We are confident that many a sensible physician will say, if the patient will let him, that two-thirds of all the maladies of all the people in the world would get well In a few hours or days, if left to themselves, with no other appliances than such as instinct would suzgest and commonsense employ. But patients often estimate the doctor's skill by the wonder- tul wise look which,he assumes, and the extent or variety of his prescriptions; and a sick man’s friends hate to seem unsympathizing, and so are apt to be oficious. It is to be understood, of course, that we are not speaking of extreme cases, but of the treatment of most of the ills which flesh is heir to—the troubles which come upon overworked men and women, so many of whom we find all around usin this pushing. competitive age. Their best remedy, if they can take it, is rest. If that be impossible, we can only pity them. ee The Spiritual Effects of Drunkenness. An editorial in “Topics of the Time,” of the December Century says: “This loss of self-re- spect, the lowering of ambition, and the fading out of hope are sigas of the progress of thig dis- ease in the character. It is a mournful spec- tacle—that of the brave, ingenuous, high- spirited man sinking steadily down into the de- gradation of inebriety; but how many such spec- tacles are visible all over the land! And it Is not in the character of those alone who are no- torious drunkards that such tendencies appear. They wre often distinctly seen in the lives of men who are never drunk. Sir Henry Thomp- son's testimony is emphatic to the effect that ‘the habitual use of fermented liquors, to an extent far short of what is necessary to produce intoxication, injures the body and diminishes the mental power.’ If, as he testifies, a large proportion of the most painful and dangerous maladies of the body are due to ‘the use of fermented liquors, taken in the quantity which is conventionally deemed moderate,’ then it is certain that such use of them mast result also in serious injuries to the mental and morai nature. Who does not know reputable gentlemen, physicians, artists, clergymen even, who were never drunk in their lives, and never will be, but who reveal, in con- versation and in conduct, certain melancholy effects of the drinking habit? The brain 1s so often inflamed with alcohol that its func- tions are imperfectly pertormed; and there 1s a perceptible loss of mental power and of moral tone. The drinker is not conscious of this lose; but those who know him best are painfully aware that his perceptions are less keen, his Judgments less sound, his temper less serene, tual vision less clear, because he tarri yy a Little too long at the wine. Even those who refuse to entertain ascetic theories Tespecting these beverages may be able to see that there are uses of them that stop short of drunkenness, and that are ‘still extremely hurtful to the mind and the heart as well as the body. That conventional idea of modera- tion, to which Sir Henry Thompson refers, 1s quite elastic: the term is stretched to cover habits that are steadily despoiling the Ife of its rarest fruits. The drinking habit is often defended by reputable gentlemen to whom the very thought of a debauch would be shocking, but to whom, if it were only lawful, in the ten- der and just solicitude of friendship, such words as these might be spoken: ‘It is true that you are not drunkards, and may never be; but if you could know—what is too evident to those who. love you best--how your character is slowly losing the firmness of its texture and the sine- ness of its outline: how your art deteriorates in the delicacy of its touch; how the atmosphere of your lifeseems to grow murky and the sky lo ers gloomily above you, you would not think your daily induigen¢ armless in its measure. It 1s in Just such lives as yours that drink exhibits some of its most mournful tragedies.’ ” ——_—_—_§_-e.— The Production of Quinine. From “Malaria and the Progress of Medicine,” in Pop- lar Science Monthly. The next step in the relief of malarious sick- ness on the grand scale was the extraction of the alkaloid quinine from the cinchona bark. The powdered bark was not only very unpal- atable, but it was cumbrous to carry and dis- pense, and, although the principle of the remedy remained the same, it has proved of infinitely greater service in the form of quinine, and in the form of the cheap alkaloidal mixture known. “quinetum.” The first extraction of an alkaloid was in the case of morphia, from opium, in 1805; the discoverer was an apothecary of Hameln, who was rewarded rather better than the celebrated Pe of that town, for the French Academy of Sciences yoted him two thousand francs. Quinine was discovered in 182 by the Freneh chemists Pelictier and Cayentou. The sciences and arts of bot: forestry, of chemistry and practical pharmacy, are now all concerned In the production of this most invaluable of remedies. The commerce of the world has taken cinchona in hand, and there are now plantations of the trees not unworthy to be named beside those of coffee and tea. The vaine of the crude bark imported into Eng- land alone in 1882 was nearly two millions ster- Mng. The original and native cinchona region on the damp eastern slopes of the Andes in Peru 1s still a source of wealth, and a still greater source of wealth are the new planta- ticns on the Andes in Bolivia. The Indian goy- it fully cultivated the bark on hiri Hills in Madras, and more recently at Darjiling in the Himalayas; while a crowd of private planters have followed in the same enterprise in Coorg, Travancore, and Ceylon. The Dutch government, who were the ploneers of cinchona cultivation, have found the climate and soll of Java well adapted forthe species and varieties of trees most rich in qui- nine. Jamatca is the latest tleld to which this new and ever-increasing industry has extended. The Exact Fare. From “Fare in a Street-car,” by Charles Dudley Warner, in the Christmnas St, Nicho! The car which I entered was nearly full—no car is ever full. It was one of the short cars called by the light-minded “bob-tailed,” having one horse and no conductor—one of the contriv- ances that presumes upon the honesty of every- body, except the driver. Thecar was dirty; but as this Is the only dirty line in the United States it would be ill-natured to mention its name and city; besides, it is unnecessary to do so, a8 no doubt most of my readers have been on it. I was interested in studying thelegendsin English and German posted above the windows. They related, mostly, to diseases and the benefit of soap applied. There were also directions about negotiating with the driver for change, and one, many times repeated, and written over the fare-box by the door, requested the senger to ‘put the exact fare in the box.” This legend always annoys me Dy its narrowness and petty dictation. Often I do not feel like being bound by this tron rule; sometimes I would like to put in more, sometimes less, than the exact five cents.

I often wonder if this rule Is founded on real justice in the bosom of the company, and whether it would be as anxious to seek out the traveler who should by chance overpay, and re- stor’ the excess, as it is to follow him when he puts in too little.
