great paper Read by Dr. Swartz of Portland The Subject “Prevention of Tuberculosis" Ably Discussed at Teachers’ Institute. Dr W. D. Schwartz, of Portland, well known in this county, recent |y read a paper on the subject of “The Prevention of Tuberculosis,” before a teachers’ institute. The paper was a splendid one and has been favorably commented on by physicians all over Indiana He said in part: “Plenty of people have had consumption and gotten well of it without ever knowing that they had it. When they died of other diseases their lungs have been dissected open and these old scars—the unmistakable evidence of consumption—found. The tubercle bacilli have been sealed up with this scar tissue, just as bees may seal up intruders that gain access to their hive It isn't medicine out of a bottle that cures consumption ; it is youi own resisting

A climate may be so good that it is very dangerous because consumptives go 'there in large numbers and spit without care and thus the place is literally a granary for the disease germs ” Strong Testimony.

TRIALS OF DIPLOMATS. They Were Mnny lu the Knrly llayi of American Hiwtory. There exists a popular tendency to Overrate the delights and to underrate the hardships of the diplomatic Ute; but, howe' er much opinions may differ on this point, there can be no doubt that the office of an American diplomatist in the days of the devolution was no holiday pastime. If he was not already in Europe, his journey to his post was beset with perils graver than those of the elements. In the eyes of the British law American revolutionists were simply “rebels,” the reprobation of whose conduct was likely to be proportionate to their prominence and activity, and the seas were scoured by British cruisers, the dreaded embodiment of England's maritime supremacy. Deane went abroad secretly before independence was declared, but when his presence in France became known the British government asked that he be seized and delivered up Into its custody. Franklin sailed for France on a small vessel of war belonging to congress, called the Reprisal. On the way over she took two prizes, and more than once, on descrying a suspicious sail, cleared for action. Had she been captured by the British, Franklin would have had an opportunity to test the truth of bls remark to bis associates In congress that they must “either hang together or hang separately.” John Adams, on his first journey, took passage on an American vessel; on his second he embarked on the French frigate Sensible and landed at Ferrol, in Spain. Jay committed his fate to the American man-of-war Confederacy and. like Adams •nd Franklin, reached his destination. —Harper's Magazine.
