little more than grow tbe cotton, but
now the cotton mills in the south,
principally Georgia, have mado rapid
strides towards equality with those of
New England. A recent estimate
places the capital Invested in these
southern mills at ^110,000,000 and the

phase of the ques-
developed two days ego in the
publication of g cablegram from Tou-
lon to the effect that five persons had
been oared q£ cholera by the inhala-
tion of oxygen. This article, together
with an interview in the New York
Tribune on the nse of chloroform lor
the cure of ohplera in all its Stages,
which was republished in ycBterkay’s
<ilobe-/W«rrat, excited considerable
discussion yesterday. A reporter,
meeting Dr J M Loeto, questioned
him on the subject.
“1 liave never heard of the use of
ehloroform or oxygen in cases of
cholera, and in oa.se of the former, do
not repose much confidence in it.
During the epidemic of '66 in this
oity, there were various remedies
suggested by parties, which rumor
magnified to infallible cures. For
instance, I had a large number of
cases coming under my observation
in which the parties had aggravated
their illness by the use of camphor
and cayenne pepper. Others had
taken Jumaioa guiger until their
stomachs were in a horrible state.”
“What do you think of these spo-
radic cases reported in various quar-
ters of Mt. Louis?”
‘•T do not think they are cases of
cholera. Sporadic cases are isolated
cases of cholera, brought into a com-
munity from some infected point.
Now there is no point in the United
States infected with the disease, and
I think the oases reported lfere in Mt.
Louis are cases of cholera morbus.
The doctor also remarked that
there were numerous instances of
cholera which had developed entirely
from fear; parties having become
prostrated through terror, and subse-
quently attacked with tho disease.
Dr J B Johnson, who passed
through the epidomics of ’41) aud ‘06,
said that lie had often usgd chloroform
to relieve spasms of vomiting, but it
was a question in his mind whether
its use in extreme cases would not
hasten death.
“As to the oxygen treatment,” he
Inother “I have never heard of it. hut
presume it would have a good affect
in decarbonizing the blood when tne
patient is too weak to respire freely.
However, the patient in that case
would, I think, be almost too weak
to inhale. I do not think' muoii ol
the chloform theory, because if there
was anything in it I think it would
have been submitted before this td the
medical societies and the results pub-
lished in medical journals.”
Dr F V L Brokaw aaid fliat he had
never heard of the use of oxygen un-
til lie road of the Toulon cases. .As
to tho chloroform treatment, he had
often administered that drug to allay
vomiting, which was frequent in cases
ef cholera, but never thought of it as

have recently developed here, was
questioned as to the oxygen treat-
meotr
•JI have never before heard of its
nse, but do not ktiow but that it
might be of value. One of the stages
of cholera is the blue stage, when the
blood lacking oxygen, turns blue. In-
halation of the gas would undoubtedly
remedy this, but I do not know that
it would save the patient's life.”
“Have you ever used chloroform in a
case of cholera?”
“I have ua#d it for cramps, but
n< ver with any idea that my patient's
life was lengthened by its nse. I at-
tach very littlo value to it.”
Dr T L Papin was of the opinion
that chloroform had some value as a
stimulant to be need in extreme
cases.
“The dose proscribed by thatdoctor
spoken of in tbe Tribune, however,”
he said, “would be enough to burn
out almost any man’s throat. In my
Opinion, the greatest mistake made
was only 7,000,000 tons, about SS

late as 1858 coal vu sent from
England to Boston and New York

estimated by German scientists who
have given Hie subject strict attention
that there is coal enough in China
alone to keep the entire world in fael
some hundreds of millions of years.

about the coal supply ol onr own or

was treated during my first cholera
experience by myself and threo older
physicians, hafi, been given at the
time of her death enough opium to
kill a half a dozen persons. As to the
oxygen cure, I have never heard of it
before or known of its being tried.”
Dr Van Btndifdrd was asked his
opinion of the oxygen treatment, and
he said he had no faith in it. It had
been tried in the epidemics of ’40 and
’66 and had done no good.. Oxygon,
he said, waa an exoitant, whereas,
the proper treatment in cholera was
to keep as quiet as possible. He had

The Coal Supply!
The report of tha United Btates
Geological Hurvey on the coal supply
in our oountry and iu Europe recently
published, is full of consolatory fig-
ures. for there is much assurance
that the enormous inorease in the
consumption of the article does not
necessarily threaten a speedy extinc-
tion of the supply. Thus while we
are assured by the Forestry Associa-
tion that onr woods arc suffering
rapid destruction, the cool measures
vet undeveloped, contain a full supply
tor many ages. The report places
the area of the coal fields iu this
oountry at 192,000 square mijes;

place we have as many lard or pork
barrels as will be necessary to hold a
supply of meat for the family. These
barrels are clean, sweet, and tight,
one end taken out. They ai
ed on a bench in the cellar,
up. The pigs are
in the usual way. When tee animal
beat is all out they are out up, out-
ting off the sausage meat and lard,
tho lard cut up ready to be rendered
out. The shoulders and sides are
then cut up into such sized pieces as
may be convenient for the table use.
These pieoes are washed cleanly) and
boiled in large kettles, seasoned with
salt and pepper to make palatable,
and wlien sufficiently boiled for table
use they are placed in a barrel closely
together, bnt not pressed or mashed,
thus leaving each piece as near in
the shape cut as possible. When the
barrel is filled within two inches of
♦he top, we then pour in warm lard
until all the crevices between the
pieces of meat are filled up, covering
the top with one or two inohes of
the warm lard. Next day we find
that the lard has settled down; we
fill up again to the top and keep
filling until all has beoome a solid
mass of meat and lard. This is the
whole secret. You can fill any tight
vessel from a one gallon jar to a
forty-five gallon barrel in like manner
and if properly done, and kept in a
cool place the meat will keep fresh
and sweet tee year round.
The advantage of this process of
keeping meat are manifold. You
ean kill a fat hog at any season of
the year, and its own fnt oan preserve
it, and the fat oan be used for oul-
inarv purposes just the same as when
put up in cans for home use. The
shoulders can be thus prepared, and
when oold are far superior to salt
meat, even after being boiled. The
sides when cut in squire pieoes with
the ribs on, are just as good its when
cooked fresh in the fall of the year.
