Corus,

There is nothing more vulgar than

that sport morocco and patent leather,
The reason why fashion and polite
breeding eschew corns is because they
are vulgar not only because they are
vulgar, but because they prove the
existence of plebian blood. They are
annoying, particularly just before a

kindly to anything that is annoying.

of life, are gradually expelled, from the sys-

Great eating ulcers kindly heal under their
mighty curative influence. Virulent blood

The Iowa Cattle Disease.

The Wilton Qowa) Exponent has the
following information regarding the new
cattle plague which has proved SO fatal
to stock in the neighborhood of that
place
"The disease is as curious in its
workings as it is fatal in its result. The
first indication of an attack is a violent
twiching of the muscles on the under
Jaw; then frothing at the mouth, from
which saliva flows freely; the eyes be-
come watery and the animal seems TO
suffer the most intense pain, which in
creases from the moment it is attacked
until death ensues, which in no case has
been longer than twenty-four hours.
They commence rubbing the head,
mostly on the left side, and continue IN
til the skin, and sometimes one of the
ears, is rubbed off and the head swells
mp so as to close the eyes in many cases.
The last struggle seems to be tremen-
dous one. The animals stand erect,
and straining every muscle to the ut
most extent, giving evidence of a pow
erful internal Convulsion, they utter
the mo pitiful cry, you can hardly
call it anything else, and throwing the
head from side to side fall over dead.
The best veterinary talent has been taxed
to the extent of its ability to find a
name for the disease and cure for the
cOntagion, but without success. Change
of pasture will prevent fever, but has
no influence i'll checking this malady.
The remedies administered are numer-
GUS but Ineffective, Climate may have
something to do with it, hut we think
not, and we shall expect dealers to
profit by this experience and look well
to the locality from which they procure
their stock cattle"

Victor Hugo is said by some mali

gress. Congress-, progressive great

Geneva as the lying-in hospital of your

For Love Of an Actress.


A-omanee In very high Life hiss Just
been brought to its last act. One of
the most noted of the south German
mobiles was the Prince of Thurm and
Iaxis. He had been minister to the
late king of Bavaria, and his son was
abide camp to the present king. It is
this son who is the-hero of the German
romance. Long ago the Lord of Bur-
Leigh chose his wife from the peasantry,
and King Cophetua swore q royal oath
that a beggar maid should be his
bride; but neither of these traditional
lovers went so far as the young Bava-
rlan prince of our own days. It was
an obscure actress who fascinated him,
and for whom he WIS content to sacri-
fee everything. These conventional
words meant great deal in this case.
The marriage was actually sOlemnized,
but 1t was made subject TO conditions of
a very vigorous character, which were
imposed upon the bridegroom as q con-
dition of the family assent. He was to
renounce all his paternaI rights, and
even his name. He was to be no longer
the Prince of Thurm and Taxis, but
plain bourgeois, and he was to receive
an annual allowance of 5000 forms.
It might seem that such conditions
would be impossible. The only answer
is that they were exacted, that the mar
rage did occur, and the prince descen-
ded into plain NJ. De Fels.-London

Hard Water is Wholesome.

DR.. Letheby, after devoting many
years to an investigation into the prop
critics of the water introduced into Eng
lish cities, and to a study of the sani-
tary reports on the subject, comes to
the conclusion that moderately hard
water is safer and more heslthfuI than
soft water. Hard water is not onlv
clearer, colder, more free from air, and
consequently more agreeable to the eye
and to the taste than soft water, but is
less liable to absorb organic substances.
to sustain the life of zymOtie organism.
or to exert solvent properties upon salts
of iron or upon leaden conducting
pipes. The lime salts exert q benz fetal
influence upon the animal economy and
even protect the system from dangerous
outward influences. DR.. Wilson, of
Edinburgh, has also collected much val
uable material on the subject, and comes
to the same conclusion as DIR. Letheby,
He takes the ground that the human
body requires for its nourishment and
support a supply of certain mineral
salts, among which carbonate and phos-
phate of lime play an important part in
building up the compactness of the
bones and IN other functions. We usu-
ally observe phosphate of lime in our
from the water we drink. Carbonate of
lime, however, is not contained in ade-
quate quantity in our solid food, but
generally obtains in spring and well
water.
It has been incontCstibly shown that
in mountainous districts, where the wa
ter Is more or less hard, the inhabitants
exhibit the best physical development.
On the other hand, it is believed that
in large ties the mortality is inversely
as the hardness of water supplied to
the inhabitants. a water which con-
taIns about six grains of carbonate of
lime to the gallon is suitable for use in
all household purposes. As drink and
for cooking food, such a water offers the
carbonate of lime for the sup
port of life in the simplest, most nat
ural and most easily digested form, and
is at the same time more agreeable.
fresh and sparkling. 1t is evident that
our preconceived popular notions on the
subject of hard water need revising.
and that it may be better to use such
water than to have recourse to rain or
ice water,
