Why His Mother-in-Liw Came.

A new boy arrived at my house last Saturday. He seems to understand his i business and uses the same kind of noise as other children of his age. He arrived by the light of a kerosene lamp, but I hope this will not be used against him if he ever runs for superintendent of schools, which, however, I understand he doesn’t intend to do. It seems to be the general hope of my friends that he will make a better man than his father. This thought, or wish, has also occurred to me—in the dark. lam glad now that my mother-in-law is here, although it hadn’t occurred to me before why she came. She seems to be perfectly at home with new babies, and has already turned several suggestions of mine to the wall. There were some i clothes made for a girl baby down to my house, but, as no business appeared under that head, the buttons were sewed on boy-fashion, and they will have to do.—Grafton ,(N. D.)

HOGS AND CHOLERA.

REPORT ON TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF DISEASE. Bureau of Animal Industry Gives the Result of Long and Thorough Investigation of Swine Plague and Other Epidemics. Strict Quarantine Necessary. With estimated losses of between $lO,000,000 an 4,525,000,000 from hog cholera and swine plague in the United States, the discussion of the treatment and means of prevention of these diseases in a bulletin issued by the Agricultural Department is of great value to the farmers of this country. The Bureau of Animal Industry has been conducting an exhaustive investigation of this subject and finds that the agents which destroy the germs of one of these fatal diseases, are also effective in the destruction of the germs of the other. Both are spread by infection and their course varies from one day to three weeks. Both are caused by bacteria. The germs of hog cholera, says the report, are very hardy and vigorous, while those of the swine plague are very delicate and very easily destroyed. The lat- , ter are found to be present in practically all herds of swine, but the former must ,be introduced from infected herds. ' v i The most efficient virus remedy tried by the Government's agents is the following: Wood, charcoal, sulphur, sodium sulphate and antimony sulphide, one pound each; sodium chloride, sodium, bicarbonate and sodium hyposulphite, two pounds each. These are to be completely pulverized and mixed, and a daily dose of a large tablespoonful for each 200 pounds weight of hogs given. The medicine may be used also as a preventive of these diseases. It should be put in the feed of the whole herd. To insure more successful treatment the animals should be kept In dry and comfortable quarters away from drafts of air. Five or six mouths should be allowed to elapse after an outbreak before new hogs are purchased or any of the old herd sold. The report recommends a rigid quarantining of newly-bought hogs and the prevention of their joining those already on the farm for at least six weeks. During the warm months of the year the swine ; should have plenty of young grass or I clover; crushed or rolled wheat should be 1 fed to the growing animals.

CORN UP, WHEAT DOWN.

The Average Farm Price of Various . Agricultural Products. The returns to the statistical division of the department of agriculture for December relate principally to the average farm price of the various agricultural products on the first day of the month. By farm prices is meant the price at the farm or at the nearest local or railway market. In comparison of these prices with commercial quotations allowance must be made for cost of handling, transportation, profits of dealers, etc. The farm price of corn averaged 45.6 cents per bushel, which Is 9.1 cents higher than the corresponding price of last year, which was 36.5 cents per bushel. This price was 6.3 cents per bushel higher than the average price for the decade 1880 to 1889, and is just 4 cents higher than the average for the four years, 1890 to 1893. The average price of wheat is 49.8 cents per bushel, the lowest price in the past twenty-five years. This price is 33.9 cents less than the average for the ten.yars, 1880 to 1889, and 22.1 cents less than the average for the four years, 1890 to 1893. The returns make the general price per bushel of rye 50.5 cents, which is 1.3 cents lower than the price at the same date last year. The average farm price of oats as returned for Dec. 1 this year is 4.1 cents higher than for the corresponding date last year, being 32.9 cents per bushel, against 28.8 Dec. 1, 1893. The average farm price of barley is 44.3 cents per bushel against 40.6 cents for the year 1893, or a gain of 3.7 cents. The price for 1892 was 47.24 cents. The average price of buckwheat is 56.2 cents per bushel, against 59 cents for the year 1893, or a decline of 2.8 cents. The returns show the average price of hay to be $9.18 per ton, while that of last year on the farms was $9.12. The average condition of corn is 45.7. The condition of winter wheat on Dec. 1 averaged 89, against 91.5 in 1893 and 87.4 in 1892. In the principal winter wheat States the percentages are as follows: Michigan, 92; Indiana, 88: Illinois, 91; Kansas, 72; Nebraska, 76; California, 92. The returns of correspondents of the department make the acreage of winter wheat sown last fall 103 per cent, of the final estimate of the area harvested in 1894, which was 23,518,796 acres, a larger figure than the preliminary estimate given out in June last, which upon further investigation was found to be too low. This preliminary estimate therefore makes the area sown for the harvest of 1895, 24,224,000 acres.

The harem under Abdul Hamid is not the festive institution of old. Quality has given away to quantity even in the selection of odalisques. The Sultan has one real wife—the Sultana —who is the mother of seven children. The quantity of the odalisques kept for his benefit varies between 150 and 200—all extremely young. When they reach their 16th summer Abdul has no further use for them, and either sells them or presents them to his friends or officials. The chief objects of interest that enter into Abdul Hamid’s official life are: European politics, fires in Constantinople and keeping cholera at a distance.

THE GIBBONS RESUSCITATOR.

Designed to Revive Those Apparently Dead from Electrical Shock. Dr. P. J. Gibbons, of Syracuse, N. Y., who applied to Governor Flower for permission to use his apparatus for resusci-

tating victims of electricity on Murderer Wilson, who is to be executed in Auburn prison, speaking of his attempt to try the apparatus on Wilson, said that the Attorney General had notified him that neither the Governor nor the superintendent of prions nor the warden of Auburn prison had authority to grant

DR. P. J. GIBBONS.

the desired permission. Dr. Gibbons added: “My apparatus is designed to resuscitate people who have undergone electrical shock, taken poison, been long immersed in water, or have suffered from similar misadventure. To resuscitate people it is necessary simply to restore breath into them. There are a number of methods now in use for this purpose. My instrument is designed to restore suspended animation more expeditiously and more certainly than any method now in use.’’ Dr. Gibbons' invention is a simple double bellows. The end of the long tube is inserted in the mouth of the patient, or if this be closed, in an opening made in the throat. The patient’s nose is closed, and when the handle of the bellows is raised the air rushes from the patient’s lungs into one apartment of the bellows. Simultaneously the other apartment is filled with fresh air through a tube on the

reverse side. This air is forced into the lungs by the compression of the handles. This is all there is to it. Dr. Gibbons says a large percentage of deaths from electricity are not instantaneous. and could be averted by using his invention. The vollage necessary to kill is not a fixed quantity. In State executions from 1,200 to 1,800 volts are used, whereas, he says, he is acquainted with one case where a man operating an electric dynamo received a shock from a’ current of 4,600 volts .strong, and was resuscitated by ordinary methods after seven minutes. In another case Dr. Gibbons’ own assistant, a Air. Greenwood, received 1,500 volts and was restored. D’Arsonval reports a case where a man received 5,000 volts and was resuscitated after half an hour.

SEALERS SHOW ANXIETY.

Canadian Fishei s Expected More th,in President Cleveland Recommends. According to a Victoria, B. C., dispatch President Cleveland’s recommendction to Congress to pay $425,000, practically in full settlement of the claims of Canadian sealers against the United States, causes anxious speculation. When it was inofficially stated some months ago that that amount would be paid it was understood to be merely for claims presented to the Paris tribunal arising out of the seizures in Behring Sea during 1886, 1887, and 1889, there having been none in 1888. About $400,000 was the amount of claims on this account. Canadian sealers fully expect to receive large sums for the loss of prospective profits through exclusion under the modus vivendi, especially because for IS9I, the first year of the arrangement, England advanced about SIOO,OOO as indemnity. Claims of 1892 and 1893, which will be pressed against the Canadian and British Governments, amount to considerably more than SSOO - 000. Governor Flower has dismissed the charges against the Board of Managers of the Elmira (N. Y.) Reformatory, involving charges against Superintendent Brockway of cruelty to inmates. The Governor says the punishment inflicted caused no permanent injury.

DEBS GOES TO JAIL.

RAILWAY UNION OFFICERS ARE GUILTY OF CONTEMPT. Leader Sentenced to Six and His Associates to Three Months—Judge Woods Says the Defendants Violated the Injunction Issued Last Summer. May Take an Appeal. Judge Woods, in the Circuit Court or the United States, at Chicago, found all the respondents in the contempt proceedings instituted by the Federal Government and the receivers of the Santa Fe Railroad Company against leading officers of the American Railway Union guilty as charged and entered the following sentences: Eugene V. Debs, president, six months in the county jail. ife » George W. Howard, vice president, three months in the county jail. Sylvester Keliher, secretary, three months in the county jail.

RUGENE V. DEBS.

L. W. Rogers, editor of official organ and director, three months in the county jail. M. J. Elliott, director, three months in the county jail. James Hogan, director, three months in the county jail. L. As. Goodwin, director, three months in the county jail. John AlcVean, member, sentence suspended. By agreement of counsel the court granted the convicted managers of last summer’s great strike ten days before the sentences should be executed. In the meantime the attorneys for the respondents will prepare for carrying the ease up to the Supreme Court of the United States, by appeal, if possible, or by habeas corpus. The latter course will probably be pursued. To hear Judge Wood deliver his opinion the court-room on the fourth floor of the Monadnock Building was filled with

court. On the bench with Judge Woods sat Judge Jenkins. Judge Woods read but a small portion of his exhaustive opinion, which covers 83 pages of typewritten manuscript and contains more than 25,000 words. It required more than two hours for him to rend the opinion minus the omissions. In brief the decision finds the defendants guilty of contempt in conspiring to hinder and prevent the transmission of United States mails and interstate commerce. Air. Debs is regarded as the ringleader and is more heavily punished. The nets of the defendants are characterized as a “willful disobedience of the injunctions Issued by the court.” This is the concluding chapter for the time being at least in the history of the great railroad strike of last summer. It is not likely that Debs and bis associates were either unprepared tyr.the sentence passed upon them or were'inclined to regard it ns severe. When an injunction was issued through the United States ! courts last summer restraining the leadI ers of the strike from interference with ; interstate commerce and that injunction ' was not obeyed, the subsequent move in- ! volving the arrest of the strike leaders for ; contempt of court was an outcome easily ; foreseen both by the public and by the strikers themselves. | It is in his decision as to certain ■ weighty points involved that Judge Woods’ ruling will be most likely to create discussion. The Judge’s lengthy presentation of the ease revolves upon two central topics—the validity of the injunction and the actual culpability of the defendants in the violation of the injunction issued against them. As to the validity of the injunction Judge Woods defines the interruption of interstate commerce as clearly within the jurisdiction of a Federal Circuit Court. The acts of the defendants he defines as unlawful, and the opponents of “government by injunction” will doubtless find herein occasion to inquire why, if the acts were unlawful, the positive statutory remedy for the redress of those acts of lawlessness should not have been employed instead of the instrument of the injunction. The principle that an injunction cannot be brought in restraint of an act already declared criminal by law is one that appears again in this connection, as it has throughout the late labor troubles, and it takes an addiional emphasis from Judge Woods’ careful iteration that the same act may constitute both a contempt and a crime, and that both are punishable separately. The defendants did not appear particularly crushed by the punishment. Debs bowed his tall, gaunt form and whispered a few words to his sister, who sat near, and they both laughed heartily. Howard and Hogan exchanged smiling glances and Keliher grasped his attorney’s hand and appeared to offer congratulations. It was evident that all had expected much more severe sentences and all wore a look of relief. Debs drew his people together and instructed them to say nothing for publication, setting them an example by refusing to discuss the case at ail. After the murmur of excitement over the sentence had subsided the court announced that the punishment was not to take effect for ten days, in which time the defendants' attorneys will prepare an appeal. The prospective prisouera, after a short consultation with their attorneys, left the court-room.

Some Free Advertising

A physician in the Medical and Surgical Journal tells a story of Dr. Holmes. It was when a son had been born to him, and, while he was usually very prompt at the Harvard medical school, he was missed one morning. Finally he entered the room hurriedly, glanced around with a smile and said: “Gentlemen, I know I’m late, but there is a little stranger at my house.” And then, with an expression such as only Holmes* face could assume, he continued: “Now, can any one tell me what well-known business firm in Boston he is like?” There was no answer. “He Is Little & Brown,” said the Doctor, with a twinkle In his eye. That was a good advertisement for Little & Brown, but it Is probable that that pioneer of American humorists, “John Phoenix,” gave another Boston firm a better one. Entering a large store in that city one day he said to one of the proprietors, “I think I would like to tuttle a little.” “To tuttle! What do you mean by that?” “I don’t know,” gravely replied the humorist, “but I read an invitation over the door, ‘Call & Tuttle,’ and thought I would like to know how to do it”

A WOMAN’S HEART.

ONE DISEASE THAT BAFFLES THE PHYSICIAN. The Story of a Woman Who Suffered for Nine Yearn—How She Waa Cured. (From the Newark, N. J., Evening News.) Valvular disease of the heart has always been considered incurable. The following interview, therefore, will interest the medical profession, since it describes the successful use of a new treatment for this disease. The patient is Mrs. Geo. Archer, of Clifton, N. J., and this publication by the News is the first mention of the ease made by any newspaper. All physicians consulted pronounced the patient suffering with valvular disease of the heart, and treated her without the slightest relief. Mrs. Archer said: “I ■could not walk across the floor; neither could I go up stairs without stopping to let the pain in my chest and left arm cease. I felt an awful constriction about my arm and chest as though 1 were tied with ropes. Then there was a terrible noise at my right ear, like the labored breathing of some great animal. I have often turned expecting to see some creature at my side. “Last July,” continued Mrs. Archer, “I was nt Springfield, Mass., visiting, and my mother showed me an account in the Springfield Examiner, telling of the wonderful cures effected by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. My mother urged me to try the pills, and on November 25th last 1 bought a box nnd begun taking them, and I have been taking them ever since, except for a short interval. The first box did not seem to benefit me, but I persevered, encouraged by the requests of my relatives. After beginning on the second box, to my wonder, the noise at my right ear ceased entirely. I kept right on, and the distress that I used to feel in my chest and arm gradually disappeared. The blood has returned to my face, lips and ears, which were entirely devoid of color, and I feel well and strong again. "My son, too, had been troubled with fnstritis, and I induced him to try the ’ink Pills, with great benefit. I feel that everybody ought to know of my wonderful cure, and I bless God that 1 have found something that has given me this great relief.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are now given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful causes of most every ill that flesh is heir to. These pills are also a specific for the troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, all forms of weakness, chronic constipation, bearing down pains, etc., and in the case of men will give speedy relief and effect a permanent cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature. The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, '(SO cents a box, or 0 boxes for $2.50 they are never sold in bulk, or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.

A man went into the laboratory of an analytical chemist one day, with a bottle containing an unwholesome looking mixture. “I bought this of a traveling man,” he said, “and I feel sure it isn’t what it ought to be. I’d give five dollars to know what would make the water and oil in this preparation separate.” The chemist looked at it "Very well,” he said, “give me the five dollars, and 1 will tell you.” The visitor promptly handed him a flve-dollar bill. The chemist took it gravely, and then, removing the cork from the bottle, quietly dropped into the liquid a pinch of common salt. Instantly the water and oil separated. The man’s face was a study. He had got what he wanted, and had paid his own price for it. The chemist evidently felt that he was well paid by his visitor’s astonishment, however, and returned the five dollars with a laugh.
