Averill did not resist, and the boy, who had been told that he would not be harmed, fol- lowed. Either end of the same rope was fastened about the necks of the rustlers as they sat in their saddles.

A Montclair (N.J.) despatch says : The residents of this town are pretty thoroughly frightened over an epidemic of madness which seems to possess all the dogs in town. Several people have had narrow escapes from being bitten by infuriated animals, and every one now puts the greatest possi- ble distance between himself and any stray dog that may come along. A thrilling incident in connection with a mad dog hap- pened here on Monday afternoon. Capt. Michaela, of the Morris Canal, was the owner of a pet dog which he valued highly. During the morning he noticed that the dog was acting queerly, but he thought nothing of it. Shortly after noon, how- ever, the dog. which had been lying apparently asleep on the deck of the boat, suddenly jumped up and with hoarse, yelping cries began whirling around madly. Capt. Michaela realized instantly that the animal was mad. His two little sons were playing together only a short distance away. With a bound the captain reached them and at the same time the dog ceased his whirling about and his bloodshot eyes rested on the captain and‘ his children. Then, with wide open, foam- ‘ flecked month, he dashed at the captain. The latter dodged and made for the shore, hot the dog headed him off. Again the captain dodged the infuriated animal, and running to the side of the canal dropped both his children in. Then he sprang in himself just as the dog made a snap at his legs. The captain rescued both his boys, and the dog crept under a box, where he was despatched with a revolver later. The next afternoon a small yellow dog came dashing along one of the streets snapping and biting at everything within His1 reach. He attacked two ladies on Bloomfield avenue, but they bravely beat him off with their umbrellas. Then he ran down the avenue, biting two other dogs on the way. All three animals were finally killed by officer Duncan after a long chase. No one cares to fondle a dog just at pre- acnt, and every one is on the lookout for suspicious symptoms. As half a dozen men rushed into the room,a Winchester was poked through each window and a command to throw up their bands was given with unmistakable earnestness. rl‘he trio sprang for their w6apone but were quickly overpowered. Averill begged and whined, protesting his innocence. Kate cursed. Her execration of the lynchers was something terrible in its way. She cursed everything and every- body, challenging the Deity to harm her if He had the power. An attempt was made to gag her, but her struggling was so violent that this was abandoned. She Fltty‘ ireshly branded yearling steers were counted in the Averill and Maxwell herds Saturday morning. A stock detecâ€" tive whose suspicions were aroused was driven from the place when he was noticed viewing the stolen property. This circum- stance was reported to the ranchemen, who determined to rid the country of the deeper- ate pair. Averill and the woman have several times been ordered to emigrate or cease appropriating mavericks, but had dis- regarded all warnings. After her celebrated gambling house escapade, Mrs. Maxwell degenerated from a picturesque character into a reckless prairie virago of loose morals, and lost most of her following, but continued partnership with the postmaster. Word was passed along the river, and fifteen to twenty men gathered at a desig- nated place and galloped to the cabin of Averill and Cattle Kate without unneces- sary noise. The rustlers were at home, and a peep through the window disclosed the thieves and a boy in their employ, sitting beside a rude_fire place smoking cigarettes.

A Cheyenne despatch gives the following fuller particulars of the lynching: James Averill and the notorious cattle queen, Kate Maxwell, were lynched by cowboys Sunday night. The bodies of the t “ rustler” and “ range queen” dangled from the same limb of a big cottonwood yesterday morning. The scene of the law- less but justifiable deed of the midnight riders was Castle Rock, on the Sweetwater River, in Carbon county, near Innis. pendence. Castle Rock is a place which became historical during the rush overland to the California gold fields. Averill was postmaster at Sweetwater. Kate Maxwell was the heroine of a sensational story which appeared in the newspapers throughout the country three months ago, when she raided agambling house and recovered a large sum of money won from her employees. Stockmen of the Sweetwater region have been the victims of cattle thieves for years. On account of prejudice against the large outfits it has been impossible to convict for these offences, and the rustlers havebecome very bold. Averill and his remarkable partner have been very active in thieving. The woman could hold her own on the range, riding like a demon, shooting on the slightest pretext, and handling the lariat and branding iron with the skill of the most expert vaquero. Laws of Health.

A Savanna, Ga, despatch says: A lamen- table state of affairs exists in that section of Liberty county where the lunatic Orth, or Bell, preached for a month. He is in the insane asylum at Milledgevillo, but the effect of his ravings is still felt. fiundreds of negroes are totally demoralized through religious frenzy. Orth has a successor in a negro named Edward James, who claims that the spirit of the Messiah has passed into his body. Some of his actions and words are amusing. Other acts and lan- guage are revolting. He tells his listeners to throw their money away. Near his rude pulpit is a box into which the silver coins are thrown. Yesterday David James, a brother of the preacher, and Carter, a friend, went to the camp ground to try to persuade Edward James to give up his calling. The negroes who were there denied that their acting Lord was about. However, the two men lingered and at length discovered Edward James asleep in a waggon. They woke him up and began argu- ing withhim. He got mad and threatened to strike them dead. That did not frighten them. Carter put his hand on James’ shoulder and the pretended Messiah struck him in the face. Garter grabbed the false Lord by the throat and choked him until his tongue stuck out. At that the other negroes mobbed Carter and beat him terri- bly with their fists and clubs. Carter is likely to die. Dr. Henry is attending him. His skull is crushed and his thigh is badly cut. James is a Justice of the Peace. 011 Thursday last he announced his divine mission. He urges his followers to make. financial sacrifices to the Lord. On Sunday l as much as $400 was offered as a sacrifice. James tore up the paper money and scat. tered the silver broadcast through the woods. Whether he secreted some of the coin and paper on his person does not ap- pear in the evidence, but it is thought ex- tremely likely that he did. The crowds that follow James increase daily and their violence is becoming a terror to the law- abiding element of both races. The idea of sacrifice has spread to a horrible extent. The offer of money no longer satisfies these violent and misguided persons. Human blood is demanded. The story of Abraham offering up Isaac is told withawiul effect. On Sunday a boy, 4 years old, was left with his aunt, Laura Roberts, at home several miles from Walthamville plantation by his parents, On the return of the wretched father and mother the child was missing. On Monday the body was found floating in a railroad ditch. On the forehead a cross had been out, and on the breast the same symbol was stabbed deeply. The throat was cut and the ears split. The woman was arrested, but refused to divulge what she had done with her other child. A vigilant search has been instituted, but without avail. The Coroner’s jury returned a verdict finding Laura Roberts guilty at murder. The woman was out oi her mind at one time, but had recovered and was apparently perfectly sound until Bell began his meetings. She was one of his most de- voted followers and, after his removal, transferred her attachment to James. Like many of the others, she accepted all of his words as of divine origin, and, acting upon them, killed the child. James, while a Justice of the Peace, had in his office Tony Lecount, a negro con- stable. Tony had developed the mania to as great an extent as the sir-magistrate, and is posing as the Holy Ghost. "We are three in one,” he announced at the meeting in the swamp on the Baker plantation yesterday to a. crowd of several hundred, and then went on to explain that Bell was God, who has gone back to heaven to make arrangements for their reception. James is the Son and he is the Spirit. His theory is swallowed with as much gullibility as all the other statements made to the ignorant rabble. Both men yesterday appeared together, naked, At the meeting on Saturday afternoon the Wife of Charles Baker was badly in- jured. She is a large woman and was in the crowd near James, who was preaching. Stopping suddenly he pointed to her and ex- claimed, “She has devils in her; pound them 0111;! pound them out I " A dozen men seized her, threw her on a rough table, and began to beat her with clubs. Her jaw was broken and her body was badly bruised before the evil demons were per- suaded to leave her. On Monday James saw devils moving in Eugene Richards, a. sober, industrious colored man, who had gone to the meeting from curiosity. He resisted, when the disciples set upon him and he was beaten almost into inseneibility.’ He received in- ternal injuries, and will probably die. Sheriff Smith has arrested seven ring- leaders of the mob that put Carter’s life in jeopardy. As the 16th of August approaches, the date prophesied for the World's ending, fears of increased violence are entertained. A band of several hun- dred is expected to march out of the county towards the north and at the same time to beat back all but the chosen seed; The farming interests of Liberty are partially prostrated, and the serious state of affairs taxes the wisdom and ingenuity of the con- servative citizens of the county. The people are becoming more and more excited and the whites are dreading that James will influence his followers to attack them. This afternoon Sheriff Smith, of Liberty county, with s. posse of fifteen well~armed and determined men, went to make an efiort to put a stop to the scandalous pro- ceedings that have disgraced that section for some time past, and relieve the peaceable citizens of the fear they now entertain of violent proceedings on the part of the followers of James. Yesterday enumber of the leaders of the new seat .Were arrested, making fifteen in all that have been taken into custody.

It was in 1866 that Prof. Hogan made his first trip to the region above the earth. He was then a young man, or rathera boy, , of 14, having been born at Moretown, l Canada, in 1852. On September 4th he ‘ ascended from Michigan, and the taste for adventure which the success of this ascen- sion developed has manifested itself in a ‘longer list of successful balloon ascensions than can be credited to any living man. Since 1806 he has devoted his Winters quite ‘exclusively to the construction of new air ships and to the arrangement of details for new experiments. He has resided all this time at Jackson, Mich, and he has come to be well-known to the residents of that city and adjacent towns. Prof. Hogan labored assiduously to improve the facili- ties tor aeronautic exploration, and the efficiency of his methods in any one of his experiments after the first initial ascen- sion has shown a decided advance over that of his methods in previous trials. In 1866, when he made his debut as an aeronaut, the art was in rather a primitive stage of development. The balloon of that time differed in many important respects from the balloon of to-day. It was a cumberous machine, and it carried a boat, life-pre- scrvers, food, axes, saws, etc. It was not made of silk and linen, as the modern bal- loon is made of, and it was altogether a rougher, coarser and less manageable ship. t'rot’. Hogan was not only an aeronaut, but an acrobat of rare shill,and in his first ascen- sions he added to the attractions of the occasions by performing on a traepeze bar in mid-air. He acquired a reputation as much {or feats of strength and agility as for the courage and dexterity with which he handled a balloon. He was the first to introduce the acrobatic feature into aerial exhibitions of this kind, and his remark- able performances on the trapeze bar, hundreds of feet above the earth, excited the curiosity and admiration of thousands. Prof. Hogan was constantly devising new and startling expressions of the art to which he was so devoted, and his recent trip in the air ship-a trip that seems just now to have had‘a fatal characterâ€"~is the culmination of his ingenuity, skill and daring. In 1888, when he introduced the perilous parachute descent in a trip that was attended with many hazardous inci- dents, his exploit was chronicled as a genuine sensation by the local press. He had long meditated such an undertaking, but there were many obstacles that had to be removed by patience and industry. He was 36 years old when he finally made the dangerous experiment, and his great familiarity with everything connected with balloon ascensions inspired him with a confidence that the dumbfounded reporters and spectators could only consider dare- deviltry of the most pronOunced type. The details of this remarkable teat were tele- graphed all cver the country and published broadcast. It served to assure the perma- nent reputation of Prof. Hogan as an soronaut. In August, 1887, Prof. Baldwin had ascendedb means of an open para- chute and a bal con held to the earth by a 5,000-foot rope. A large basket was attached to this balloon, but when Prof. Hogan, fired with new zeal by the feat of Prof, Baldwin, undertook to emulate his predecessor, he discarded the large basket and made his ascension with a horizontal bar beneath the gas bag. ‘ On the morning of April 4th, 1888, Prof. Hogan had completed preparations for his experiment with the parachute. The first trial was unsuccessful, the balloon landing on a farm outside the city limits. But the second trial, which was made immediately afterward, was entirely successful, except that the aoronaut was badly shaken up. The success of this experiment led him to repeat it with additional details,and during the season of 1888 he made 29 parachute drops, each drop being performed with greater ease and attended with less hazard and inconvenience. Since 1806 he had made more than 500 ascensions, when his famous feat of dropping with the para- chute was performed. Immediately after his successful experiment with the para. chute he received aeVeral ofi‘ers'of $1,000 to drop for exhibition purposes. .‘ Hogan was an extremely modest man, and he always took particular pains to maintain as much privacy about his aero- nautic adventures and plans as was con- sistent with pleasant feeling. His air ship trip he intended to be very secret, and the plan of his firstparaehute drop was known only to about 50 persons. At the same time he was very energetic and sometimes impulsive, and he went up in the air ship this time because a previously advertised and arranged trip had proved a fizzle. through no fault of his, and he was anxious to sustain his reputation, He was married, and his wife lives in a cozy home at Jack- son. Hogan had an elder brother named William, who was widely known as an aeronaut throughout the West. It was William who taught young Edward how to handle a balloon, and it was William to whom young Edward looked for inspiration and confidence when he made his initial trip at Jackson. On this trip he was lost for three days, and then he was finally dis- covered by his friends asleep in a barn. He had many narrow escapes in his after career, and several times his rescue from death seemed simply miraculous. He always had the faculty of landing on his feet, and though he fell into the ocean once with no life preserver on, and was pre- cipitated once from his balloon at the height of 100 feet. and on another occa- sion dropped 2,500 feet before his para- chute opened, just as he was nearing the roof of a house, yet he always escaped with slight injuries. When he fell into the ocean he was rescued by an expert swim- mer who happened to be in the water at the time; when he fell from the balloon he landed in soft mud on a meadow, and when he had fallen 2,500 feet with an unmanageable parachute. the parachute The hero of the recent air-ship adven- ture, Prof. Edward D. Hogan, lives at Jackson, Mich, when he has been at home, which hasn’t been very often. He has had a fondness for atmoepheric exploration that has kept him most of the time at various points several hundred feet above the earth. When Prof. Hogan made his memorable leap from a. balloon to a parachute when 9,000 feet from earth, last April, the newsâ€" papere of the city of Jackson chronicled the startling feat With proper prominence, but one paper remarked sadly : “ We fully ex- pect to be called upon to chronicle his death While making a descent with the parachute.” Nevertheless, the man of the clouds doesn’t seem to have been deterred 2y the solicitude of his friends and neigh- ore.

DARING ABRON AUT HOGAN, RICHl‘dOND HILL THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1889. Lord Randolph Churchill argned that the original demands of the Government were just, besides being in conformity with precedent. Ii burdens were thrown upon the Crown, not intended under the Civil List, it would impair the credit of the nation and of Parliament. Mr. Bradlaugh had questioned the title of the Crown to its estates, but successive Parliaments had recognized it, and none of the greatest lawyers had ever yet challenged the Crown’s title. He reminded the House that Sir Henry F. Ponsonby, Her Majesty’s Private Secretary, a few years ago denied the reports that the Queen was making im- mense investments in ground rents and stated that she had not £1,000,000 to invest in anything. Lord Randolph saw that the Radioals’ over-estimate, (f the Queen’s wealth was designed to excuse popular feel- ing against Royalty. He objected to the adoption of methods whose purpose was to foment a clamor against the throne, which in spite of them would remain steadfast in the affections of the people. AThursday’s London cable says: An undercurrent of uneasiness continues to pervade the continent. notwithstanding strenuous efforts to smooth matters over. Servia still remains the object on which all eyes are fixedly gazing. The powers that he never know what Servia will do next. To-day agents of the Sultan in Belgrade report to the Turkish government that Russia, as well as France, has prepared to furnish war material to the Servians on long credit. Neither Carnot’s Government nor the Czar Will make demand for pay- ment, according to the Turkish agents, and Servia can purchase weapons, ammunition, etc., without fearing any pressure what- ever. Von Vollmar, the German Socialist lender, in a. recent interview, expressed a decided opinion that the triumph of Bon- langer would mean a new disturbing fea- ture to Europe. The general’s name, Von Vollmar thought, would be an excellent platform cry for another military vote,and although no war might follow, the ill-feel- ing between France and Germany could only be increased by the success of Bon- langism. Mr. Bradlaugh and Lord Churchill Deliver {Speeches For and Against. A last Friday night’s London cable says: When the debate was resumed in the House of Commons today, Mr. Brad- laugh said he found difficulty in discussing the question calmly when Mr. Balfour out- side of the House denounced the objections as disgusting and sordid. The opponents of the grants meant nothing personally dis- courteous to the members of the royal family, but were simply acting within their rights when they met the demands of the Crown on a question of finance with a direct negative. Much of the argument in favor of the grants was based on the erro- neous idea that the Crown, under the Civil List Acts from George I. onwards, sur- rendered its private property in exchange for a civil list. Neither George I. nor his successors, Mr. Bradlaugh declared, sur- rendered anything. The present royal family never surrendered anything of a farthing's value to the country. The Com- mittee of Inquiry had elicited the fact that during the present reign the savings upon certain classes under the Civil List Act, instead of being applied to defray the charges of other classes, had been handed to the Queen without the authority of Par- liament. and in breach of the statute. (Cries of Hear, hear.) Mr. W. H. Smith, the Government leader, had denied that the alleged savings of the Queen were over three millions of pounds, but he declined to show how much money had either been saved by the Queen or drawn by the other members of the Royal family from all sources. Mr. Bradlaugh said there ought to be nothing to conceal. The fact of the concealing had led to exaggerated ideas. The refusal of the Government to disclose the wealth amassed by royalties justified the aversion of_the country to_Royal grants. (Cheers) A Berlin cable to the Herald says : In- telligence has been received here from Bsku to the effect that a permanent de- crease is showing itself in the production of naphtha in that region, and that there is a probability ot a very serious crisis shortly coming on.

Bothschilds‘ representative, man- ager of the Caspian & Black Sea.

A despetch of Wednesday from Jackson, Midh., says :_ Joseph Flowers, a. reputable man of this city, who has known E. D. Hogan, the aeronaut, since boyhood, says Hogan certainly did not lose his life in the New York air ship affair, for he saw him in this city last Thursday and spoke with him. He is sure of this, and says. further- more, that Hogan told him to “ keep his mouth shut for a while yet," and he has kept still about it until now. Two other men, one of them the expressman who took the ballon that was used at St. Themes, Ont., to the station, says it was E. D. Hogan himself who made the St. Thomas ascension and that he has been lying low since he hurt himself there. These reports greatly mystiiy Hogan’s friends. _ opened in the nick of time to save his life ; so that, altogether, fortune seemed to favor the bold young aeronaub. He had an indomitable will and no end of courage. In appearance he was a. man of medium height, and he had dark hair and brown eyes. His weight was 171 pounds. and he was strong and agile. R. A. Gunn. M. D., Dean and Professor of Surgery of the United States Medical College, Editor of " Medical Tribune," Au- thor of “ Guun's New Improved Handbook of Hygiene and Domestic Medicine,” says over his own signature, in speaking of a severe case of kidney disease: “ A ohehiif-" cal and microscopical examination of the patient’s urine revealed quantities of albu: men and granular tube casts, confirming Bright‘s disease. After trying all of the other remedies in vain, I directed him to use Warner’s Safe Cure. I was greatly surprised to observe a decidedimprovement withina month. Within four months no tube casts could be found, and only a trace of albumen, and as he expressed it, he felt ‘perteotly wall." ~- - r ‘~ ' THE GRANTS TO ROYALTY. The Naphtha Supply Failing.

By a series of elaborate charts, showing the variations in temperature for the sum- mer months for a period of ten years from 1878 to 1888 compared with the death rate from cholera infantum compiled by himself from the records of the Bureau of Vital Statistics for the same period, he proves that while the death rate follows the temperature to a. large extent it has fre- quently been much larger than the average in very 0001 seasons, and, vice versa, in the hottest weather a lower death rate is found. ~ V That is what causes, all the trouble. The entire digestive apparatus gets out of order. Food remains in the stomach sometimes for days without being digested, and whatever is given to the child to nourish it only aggra- vates the trouble. Drugs are given to kill these germs, but it takes more medicine to destroy them than it does to kill the child, and as for ohelk mixtures bacteria enjoy no better diet. They grow and flourish on it. What, then, is the remedy for what has formerly, in nine cases out of ten, proved a fatal diseusa ? It is what the professor oslls the mechani- cal treatment. He simply washes out the children’s stomachs with lukewarm water, which at once gets rid of the onuse of the illness by removing the decomposed and indigestible matter. It is a sort of laundrying process that is simple but effective, as the result of a. single year's experience at the clinic will show. Of nearly five hundred cases treated during the last year and I. half by this method only three deaths occurred, and since the beginning of the hot season this year in not a single case has it been unsuccessful. This is the result of failing to treat the disease in the right manner, and of et- roneous views that have prevailed as to its immediate cause. It has commonly been supposed that because the greatest mor- tality from the disease occurred during the hot months of July and August the prostrating effect of the heat upon the feeble infants was the direct cause. For that reason they have been wra pad in red flannel bandages and dose with medicines until it is a wonder that any of them ever got well. This theory, however, has been pretty thoroughly exploded by the authonty which has been quoted. Children have been brought to the clinic in the very last stages of the disease. Where the eyes were fixed and glassy, the nose pinched,‘the face drawn, and every indica- tion of the near approach of coma. After the brain is affected and come. in complete there is no_wp_y of_ e_aving_lite. The most remarkable thing Ebout the treatment is that as soon as the washing begins the child at once, revives, and when it is ever in fella inta a natural sleep, and then it is only a question of proper care when it will completelxrecover. For ten years in charge of the children's department of the largest dispensary in town, and later as an instructor and pro- fessor, he has made the subject a. profound study, and an account of some of the re- sults of his wide experience and research, which he gave to the reporter, are as full of interest to the public as to the medical pro- fession, in which he is regarded as an authority in his_ specialty. As every one knows, cholera infantum is the source of great mortality among chil- dren, greater even than from all other causes combined, especially in the large cities. Unless the disease can be arrested by medicinal treatment before it has reached a certain stage, children attacked by it were generally given up as hopeless cases. Nothing could save them, it was said. The process is applied on the syphon principle. The apparatus consists of a metal receptacle for the warm water, with a graduated glass tube in front, showing how much water it contains, and a long rubber tube attached to the lower side. In the end of the rubber tube is inserted a short glass tube, with a stop-cock that works by pressure of the thumb in one end. To the other end is attached a soft, velvet- eye rubber catheter, which forms the ter- mination of the tube. 'This statement was made by a. promi- nent physician of this city, who is at the head of the department of children’s diseases in one of New York’s largest medi- cal institutions, to a reporter of the Evening World. ' The “Mechanical Process” Practised by One of New York’s Leading Physicians. “ With proper treatment and care taken in time, there is no reason why the most severe case of cholera infantum or summer complaint in young children should not be speedily and effectively cured.” The catheter is passed easily down the throat of the child to the stomach, when the atop-cock is pressed and the warm water from the reoeptnble above flows through until the stomach is full, Then the tube is detached and the outer and held down, when the water will flow in the opposite direc_tlon._ u - 1 . lMPROPEE FOOD ITS PRIME CAUSE. “The operation has been performed for many years as a remedy for dyspepsia, but not until a comparatively recent date for cholera infantum, especially in this country. Prof. Epstein, of Prague, Austria, was the first to recommend it, in 1880. For the past few years the disinfection of the stomach and intestines and their con- tents has been attempted by means of drugs. Naphtholin, benzoate and salicy- late of soda have been tried and recom- mended.

The heat is really responsible for the disease, but only indirecuy, in effecting the only food which very young children and infants can take. Nothing could be plainer or simpler than this. - When it was suggested by the compiler of the figures thnt so many children died in July that there were not enough left to keep up the same death rate in August. several of the scientists present recalled the time-honored chestnut about Columbus and the egg.â€"N.Y. World. As a cure for hioconghs s. correspondent of the New York Medical Record writes: “ Drinking water, as slowly as it can be possibly swallowed, for ten or fifteen minu- tes continuously, seldom fails to relieve the paroxysms in the otherwise healthy per- son. In a recent severe case of pneumonia in an adult alarming symptom: of prostra- tion, with a feeble irregular pulse and al- most constant hiccough, on the seventh day yielded to two subcutaneous injections of one fourth grain of morphine and one one hundred and fiftieth grain of atropine, at an interval of 12 hours. after ammonia, whiskey and digitalis had been faithfully given for 48 hours without avail." It has been ascertained by chemists and analysts that it requires a continuous temperature of at least 60 degrees F. to produce germs and bacteria in cow’s milk and to develop organisms of decomposition. Means by Which Two Unpleasant Things Can be Stopped. Again: sum'm'er complaint loses its epi- demic character as soon as the maximum daily temperature remains below 60 degrees F., as in the latter half of October of nearly every yeer. ' Dr. Amos Sawyer of Hillsbcrough, Illi- nois, writes: “In two cases where every other remedy has been tried, including the continuous electrical current. without avail, the administration of a. fresh infusion of pseonie rootâ€"I presume that the fluid ex- tract would answer the same purposeâ€" given every two hours, afforded relief in eight and twelve hours respectively. That this remedy possesses autispsemcdic pro- perties the above-named cases seem to indi- cate,but from one or,two instances we cannot solely infer the whole. and further trial will be necessary before its value in this complicstion can be established." A curious fact has been brought out by the charts and tables. already mentioned, prepared by the professor. which he need in his demonstrations in the clinic. It is that warm weather (not hot), either dry or moist, showing a minimum daily tempera.- ture of not less than 60 degrees F., brings on the epidemic appearance of cholera. in- fentum invariably in every year, irre- spective of the height of the maximum temperature, as in the latter part of June of nearly every year. Children are also given all sorts of things which are not good for them by ignorant parents, which will contribute to bring on summer complaint, but the milk difficulty is the chief one. The Professor, however, is a firm be- liever in preventive measures, and think. that the real way to diminish the terrible mortality among the children from this cause is by the spread of information among the parents as to the hygienic treat- ment of the children and the preparation of their food. Cleanliness, of course, comes first. Bottle- fed babies should never be given cow’s milk without previously preparing it. The germs that it contains are the chief cause of the disease. There is a. process called sterilizing milk, which is nothing more nor less than boiling it and than keeping it air-tight. Boiling will destroy all the germs. " Among ignorant people not even the boiling of the milk is thought of by the mother, but the child is permitted to drink the milk just us it comes from the can. Those people in this vicinity who are in any way interested in the cultivation of flowers or fruit, and who, to protect the same, are in the habit of destroying that little member of the entomologieal family known as the lady-bug, vedolia oardinalis, make a serious mistake. This gaily deco- rated little insect is one of man’s best friends in that its sole mission is to destroy a destroyer. The little green lioe that have been such a pest to vegetation this year. that have prevented thousands 01 bushels of wheat from ripening, that have infested the rose bush and the apple tree, the tender house plant and the sturdy oak. is the lady- bug’s special prey. This little insect has become so valuable to the horticulturists of California in consuming the oottony oush- ion scale that they have gone to cultivating them. One man in Los Angeles covered five of his orange trees suffering from the ' scale with tents, and turned in among them some 7,000 lady-bugs that he had obtained from» the lady-ling breeding grounds. The efiteot was almot magical. The scales dis- appeared like frost under a warm spri sun.

She was never in Chicago, and on her affidavit that her husband had deserted her for two years, during which time he had lived in Chicago. She was granted a divorce.

Their Great; Value New Fully Appreciated by Natives. In India lady doctors are now familiar to us, and although at first they may have been somewhat ridiculed by those who could not appreciate their value. they are fast making their presence felt for good in I almost every corner of the land. So far as the native women oi the country are con- scorned it is gratifying to note that their ‘ success in all branches of college education is progressing to the entire satisfaction of their professors. Not only have they Sroved themselves to be generally well tted for the arduous duties attendant on medical studies, but they have in some cases succeeded beyond all ordinary ex- pectation. Bombay, Madras, the North- west Provinces and the Punjaub all return flattering reports on the subject, and when we say that a class of female student can average over 700 marks out of 1,000 in a surgical examination, as we hear has recently been the case, little can be said against their power or skill or aptitude for gaining knowledge in one of the most important branches in the medical pro- fession. Indeed. it appears not unlikely that women in India may prove themselves by no means inferior to men in most branches of the practice of medicine, ii the progress made by native females in hospi- tal work may be taken as a criterion. In many cases they have proven themselves, superior to the male students in college eni aminations, and in no way behind them in application, power of reasoning and resource. The fact that much of their success is due to the great interest taken in their studies by their lecturers and professors is not without a certain special signifi- cance.â€"-Englirhman’s Overland Mail.
