Tue experiment station at Purdue! University gives the following: It is dillicult to estimate the loss

Indiana farmer* have sustained from ^ ho^ cholera and swine plague this j year. In some counties it will reach $2r>,000 ami if the whole state has suffered as much as the northwestern portion, the total will probably ex-

ceed #800,000.

There are two diseases responsible for thesj heavy losses, hog cholera | and swine plague. As they are much alike in symptoms and occur under similar conditions, they may be treated as one disease. Both are j ge ’11 diseases of such fatal character ; t iar only a small percent, ot the hogs attacked ever recover. Medicinal t • atmeut is not very effectual. 1 Preventive measures are more sueI c •ssfnl and are the ones to be adopted. These diseases being due to genu*, cannot exist without the germs being present. They are taken into the \ body with the food, water and air. I The closer animals come in contact, t ic greater the possibilities of spreading; hence, healthy and diseased animals should be separated'as soon as t ie disease is recognized. The healthy hogs should be taken from the s : ck and not the sick from the well, as in the latter case the excrement and secretions containing tile contagious principals are left in the pen, on the ground, straw and troughs. During an outbreak it is better to have the herd divided in bunches of about fifteen, in small pastures, rather than a large herd in a large

field.

The hogs should not have access to ponds or wallows as this affords favorable conditions for the germs. The drinking water should be from deep wells. The food should be clean and often changed. If a hog has been separated from the herd and recovers it should not be returned to the herd for several weeks, as it is capable of giving the disease to others although it may appear to be perfectly well. Hogs should not be placed in pens where the disease has been for three months. All dead animals should he burned or ] buried deeply in places where hogs j will not gruza for a year. Diseased I hogs should not he driven through ; lanes or other public highways. The healthy hogs should he cared for first and then the diseased, otheiwise disease bearing material may be conveyed to the healthy. Clean the pens, use plenty of air slacked lime j on the floors before using again. Tlie following formula given by the Bureau of Animal Industry is as ef- ! ficacious as anv thing known as a 1 preventive and remedy. It lias given fair results: Wood charcoal, 1 pound. Sulphur, 1 “ soaiuiu chloride, 2 pounds. Sodium hyposulphite, 2 Sodium bicarbonate, 2 “ sodium sulphate, 1 pound. Antimony sulphide, 1 “ Give a teaspoonful once a day to a 150 pound hog. Give in sloppy feeds, as bran, middling, crushed oats, etc. It will cost about #1 to have it filled. An Important Office. T1 prof'C'ly All !ti and functiciia, It is important that the blood be pure. When it is in such a condition, the body is almost certain to he healthy. A complaint at this time is catarrh in some of its various forms. A slight cold develops the disease in the head. Droppings of corruption passing into the lungs bring on consumption. The only way to cure this disease is to purify the blood. Tile most obstinate case of catarrh yield to tne medicinal powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla as if by magic, simply because it reaches the seat of the disease, and by purifying and vitalizing the blood, removes the cause. Not only does Hood's Sarsaparilla do this but it Cives renewed vigor to the whole system, making it possible for good health to reign supreme.

lie Swallows the Lighted Cigar, to the Consternation of Ills Keeper. There was a performance in Hie ostrich depart ment of the syndicate show s the other day, says the Tucson (A. T.) Star, which hod not been advertised. It took the place of the stronpr-man feature which was advertised but didn't come off. Sammie Hughes was standing near the ostrich conservatory making a seientific study of the birds and smoking a freshly-lighted ten-cent cig&r. An ostrich suddenly lengthened his neck about a foot and removed liie cigar from Mr. Hughes’ mouth and swallowed it, lire and all. The length of an ostrich's neck furnishes a wonderful opportunity for n lighted cigar, and it burned every inch of the way to the prompting of his indiscriminate appetite. A gentleman connected with the show in the capacity of chambermaid for the ostriches saw the cigar disappear within the bird’s bill. Heaecused Mr. Hughes of having made a voluntary contribution and uttered language which was neither moral nor polite, showing that the spiritual training of this great educational menagerie is not what it is cracked up to be. He threatened to eject Mr.Hughes from the premises. Mr. Hughes tried to explain that he was the chief loser by the transaction and that the whole thing was an affair between himself and the ostrich. Deputy United States Marshal Kzekiel also began to say that the ostrich hail brought the trouble on himself. The showman pushed Mr. Ezekiel aside, and the officer was compelled to exhibit his gun ns his baijge of authority. In the meantime the cigar had been extinguished in the bird’s gizzard, and he seemed to have forgotten the episod:of the cigar and was looking longingly nt an empty soda-water bottle which lay on the ground just out of reach. TRICKS IN HIGH DIVING. Experts Do Not Run a* Many RUUa ai Most People Suppose. “What bothers most people who think anything about the subject,” said Kearney P. Speedy, a high diver, who, according to the New York Herald, began his public career by jumping head first from the St. Louis bridge four or five years ago, “is how a dive of fifty or sixty feet can be made into a tank of thir-ty-six inches of water. You see they confuse diving with bridge jmffping— quite a different thing, bridge jumpers are neither jumpers nor divers— they’re droppers; that is, they reacli the lower rods of the bridge truss and drop feet foremost into the water. The trick is to maintain the perpendicular. They must have plenty of water under them, too. The high diver, as you have seen, makes a clear dive, head first, just a boy does from a springboard in swimming. 1 do it in very shallow water. I weigh, stripped, one hundred and eighty pounds, and never do any training. I have been diving from the top of a circus tent all summer into a tank but seven feet wide and into water but three feet deep. The shallow water dive is possible from the same principle that a cannon or rifle shot meets the most resistance the more powerful the impact. You see, I give my body and head a slight inclination upward at the instant 1 strike the water, which causes tne to pop out us a board would do or an oar on the feather. I learned this trick in the St. Louis natatorium when a hoy practicing in shallow water and from n greater height. Then there is a certain elasticity in the water known to tiie high diver, hut the trick is in the strike and turn, for water will break bones and crush chests, as many a man knows." BOYS ARE CRITICAL.

In Writ In" Stories for Them Authors Must lie Sure of Facta. In nn interesting article on “How to Write Stories for Hoys,” in the Writer, James Otis, the popular juvenile writer, gives an nmusiug illustration of the necessity of accuracy in stating facts in boy's stories. “Carelessness in stating alleged facts,” he says, “is a serious offrnsfc in the eyes of the boy. lie will forgive a glaring improbability when it is boldly labeled fiction; but you deliberately insult him when you state that which ho can ascertain from books of reference is absolutely incorrect. This is best illustrated by an experience of mine in connection with one of my books. "The incorrect statement made was rccardins' the depth of wnf»r at r -aer tain point on Tampa bay, and 1 gained my information from an old chart of the Florida const, wirelessly giving no heed to the fact that there might be a later publieation bearing on the subject. In less than thirty days from tho issuance of the book four letters were received from as many renders, in which tli : mistake was pointed out, v\ ith more or less sarcasm as to the wisdom of the author. “The latest coast survey had discovered that this particular portion of the bay was dry at low water, and at lon«t four boys had made themselves acquainted with thhat fact. “It was an error such as nn older reader would have passed by unnoticed, or with a smile of pity because of the author’s ignorance; but a boy does not nllqw anything of the kind to go without rebuke, and always remembers it to the disparagement of the writer.”

The American Characteristic. Every groat nation has iu its day contributed some distinguishing psychological characteristic to race progress. That of Greece was tho development of the artistic temperament. What the race quality is that tho American has added to human development wo have never stopped to think. The editor of Scribner’s Magazine believes it to bo the growth of a great faculty of hope. Our chief race characteristic, analyzed down to its ultimate source, is absence of fear of the unknown. Terror of the thing unknown is the “emotion that has beset the sentient animal since tho beginiung of consciousness.” It is the wild, unreasoning fear that makes a horse scare at a baby wagon or an umbrella. “To show that this lack of fear was possible seems to have been our deepest natioual mission.” If Ibis bo true, then the American peoI)lo could not have had a nobler mission. "Tho American,” says our editor, “has come to bo known for the large hope that is in him.” Born of that large hope is his easy confidence in the face i f the strango and unfamiliar, “his lack of fear of what has not been experienced, lived through before.” It is precisely tins large hope, this noble con tideuco which distinguishes the leader of men from the slave and the peasant. If Americans p. - sess it in the degree attributed to them, then they possess tho greatest gift destiny could bestow on a race.

Pestiferous Leeches. In India and Ceylon certain land leeches are apt to become perfect pests to man. They are no bipger than a knitting needle, nr** nn inch in length, and when feeding stretch with great power. Horses are driven wild by them, and stamp the ground in fury to shake them from their fetlocks, to which they cling like bloody tassels. The structure is so flexible they can inane their way through the meshes of the finest goods. The bare legs of the palanquin-bearers and coolies are a favorite resort, and it is asserted that a battalion of soldierM in India were put to flight by tbepe em«U bloodiuckenk

The Privates Who Did the Fighting. A man who declares sarcastically, as it were, that ho seems to bo the only private soldier left who was iu the battle of Chickamauga, writes thus to the New York San: I belong’d to tho First brigade, First division, Fourteenth corps, but acted us an orderly at General Thomas’ headquarters during tho fight. On Sunday afternoon, Sept. 2U, I was si nt with a memorandum to General Sheridan’s headquarters. While on the way my horse was killed and my right arm shuttcred by the explosion of u shell. I was not carried from the field, but just ran like tin* devil for the rear, never stopping until 1 was well out of danger. I did not cry out to my comrades “to stand by the old ling and send the news to my mother.” I simnly cried like a big boy at the idea of losing my right arm, being only 10 years of age at the time, and I threatened to hit a file closer in tho head with a stone if he delayed me. I was not “permitted to retire,” but simply lit out, passing on the way many uninjured officers, who were getting back to look for a good place to form a new line, and while in the hospital, two days afterward, was much consoled to hear General Eosecrans and other offl cers making speeches to the troops congratulating them on “their victory.” God bless Pap Thomas, who fought the fight to a finish, and throe cheers for the privates who did the fighting, but are never seen on tho rostrum when there is any talking to be done. Iu a paper in The University Magazine Rev. Dr. Charles Cutbbert Hull comes oat against enforced attendance on religions services at colleges. Ho says the keynote of college life today is “the elective, a larger intellectual liberty for (he individual.” In accordance with this elective system attendance on religious college chapel exercises should bo made voluntary. Dr. Hall further declares that enforced attendance at prayer and preaching services “throws religion out of sympathy with man's larger liberty and associates religion with bondage.” Still more forceful is the following declaration from tho reverend gentleman's pen: “Tho highest type of manliness demands tho largest liberty in tho realm of personal religion, and the custom of enforcing worship as a part of the curriculum is a discordant note against which many a brave young heart protests without intending to protest against God. ’ ’

Little Billee of Germany is absolutely certain that he holds tho whole empire of Germany up by the ears. The president of tho United States can go fishing a week and nobody outsido of tho boat on which ho lives meantime knows where he is, and the great republic moves on just the same. But Emperor William must have u telephone car connecting him with his ministers follow him even if he goes off for a day’s hunting. He thinks he is really and truly tho biggest man on this round earth. This disposition grows on him. There is da-iger that it will result tu insanity if he lives to old age. Nothing short of a revolution and a German republic will then be the result. What is supposed to bo tho fastest, coat iu tho world, the new Russian torpedo vessel Sokol, 190 feet long, able to run 80 miles an hour, is built of ultr minium and bronze alloys, just as the victorious American yacht Defender was. The belief that sea water would corrode hopelessly aluminium and its alloys is proving to be a mistake, tferhaps the time will come when tho gyeat ocean steamers will be made of this metal. Then there will scarcely bo a limit to their speed.

In commenting^ upon the value of advertising by the hand bill or poster method, as compared with newspaper advertising, an exchange says: A newspaper has at least 3,000 readers to 1,000 subscribers. A merchant who puts our 1,000 handbills gots possibly 300 or 400 people to read them. The handbills cost as much ns a good advertisement in his home newspaper. All the women and boys read the advertisements. The merchant who uses the newspaper has 4,50(V more readers. There is no estimating the amount of business that advertising brings to a merchant, but that each dollar invested brings a good return there is ao doubt. There is no other work in the world of which so many copias are printed annually as of the Chinese almanac. This almanac is printed at Pekin, ami is a monopoly of the emperor. It not only predicts the weaklier, but notes the days that are reckoned lucky or unlucky for commencing and undertaking, Itor applying remedies in disease, for marrying and for buying.

He has found the tunk of the fouataia that stood in t'ae central court and tbs channels cu t through the rock that led the water to it, inscriptions of the time of Hardian and Sever as dedicated boS-erapis, a bull of fine workmanship, remains of gilded ornaments
