Mr.. Thomas G. Szer of Buffalo has a gift,
hardly inferior to that of the famous arithmetic
man Of the New York World, for making
political forecasts. His predictions were al
ways carefully figured out by mathematical pro-
cesses too intricate Tor the common mind to fcl-
low; but the conclusions were plainly stated.
and were generally satisfactory to Mr. Steers
friends. His predictions were published in one
OF the Buffalo papers before each election and
were greatly esteemed in that vicinity, although
ii is said they were seldom verified by the event.
Bat in that case, Mr.. Sizer no doubt, like the
more famous political arthmetician of the
World was ready with new batch of figures,
equally Incomprenensbe and equally convnc-
ing, to prove that his original calculation was
based on correct principles and arithmetic facts,
and the predicted result was certain TO follow,

not possibly have been loreseen. His forecasts,

The paroxysmal malades which are characterized by
heat and cold prevail extensively at this and it
is curious fact that in many parts of the country
where they prevalent, other diseases that bear
general resemblance toiever and ague or emtent fever
assume periodic type. Thus, in many sections infested
with chs and fever, rheumatism, neuralgia hvseria,

indicating that they have been engendered by the

MILK IN BosToN.-A writer in the Boston

milk is not saleable. 1t Goes not keep SO well
and does not look so rich as milk which has
been fixed, and as nothing poisonous is adj.
ded, where is the harm?
Who adulteratcs it? The farmer sells pure
milk to the contractor, who is too sharp to be
imposed upon. The contractor delivers il pure
to the milkman from the rail car. The milkman
takes II TO his stable or vault and does what he
pleases with it; and as an illustration of What
that means, let me state what saw a few weeks
