The Cincinnati Price Current, of last Thurs


day, says;
by assuming that $4,000, 900 lbs will cover
the stocks OF meats held at interior points,
the total supplies in the West on August i
We're about $50, 0oO,O lbs of meats, including
about 25,eo0,O00 lbs Of bargeled pork II the
manufacture for three months to November
shall be 50,O0O,000 lbs, the aggregate supply
will be 3o9, 000,0 900 lbs of meat. We suggested
week ago that the exports would likely be
125,OOo,0g0 lbs. Daring this period last
year they were 1913, 10000 lbs, and il
is not unlikely that 1sa000000 lbs will
be reached this season, in this time.
The average domestic consumption of meats
made in the West for the crop year
ending November !, 1878, was Is. $50, goepounds
per week. On this showing we assume that
the wants for the three months ending Mo-
vembeF l. this year, may be reckoned at 5,-
900, 00e pounds per week, or a total OF $780,
600 pounds; II at last years general average,
the total would be 1T5,000000. The latter
amount, added to the possible exports, make
an aggregate OF 525, 100000 pounds in the
shape of possible demand. against 3o0,0e0,o00
indicated as supply. Any marked advance,
however, In values would tend to increase the
production, while the consumption, in our
opinion, is not likely to fall bslow the esti-
mate suggested, under an advance within a
range OF 2o025 per cent over present values.

HOW THE AMERICAN GIRL
FAILED TO CATCH THE COUNT.
From the Parisian, October 9.

A romance of neal life has just been en-
acted in fashionable Partisan hotel.
The characters were an American girl
and her family and a French Count and
his family and friends. The audience
has been large, the strangers at the hotel
were amused, and all the servants were
interested. The young Count came ear
ly in the morning and watched his ador-
ed eat her breakfast; he staid and staid,
and if he absented himself during the
day he came back with friends to dinner.
The friends would entertain the mother
and grandmother while the lovers whis-
pered together in a corner or promenad-
ed up and down the hotel parlor arm in
arm. All were sure of a happy union,
for the fair American was endowed with
a fortune and the youthful Count
was real Count, for he had crown on
the corner of his handkerchief and in his
hat, and his name was famous and en-
deared to many, for was it not borne by
one of the most famous cooks that Paris
contained? The Counts mother called;
what a buzzing! How they encircled
her! The next evening the Count did
not appear, but his parents came as
usual There was the least sign to the
lockers on of something wrong in the
matrimonial atmosphere. The following
days nothing was seen Of the Count, and
on the next day there was mourning
through the family. The happy dreams
of the future and the Spanish chateau in
the enrivons of Paris had collapsed sud-
denly, as one of the witnesses remarked,
like the famous balloon, and the would
be Countess wept in her crownless hand
kerchief The Count never came again,
and the knowing ones say that he is an
obedient son and obeys his mother, who
was not sati SIZED with the dot offered by
the beautiful young American.

SAINT SUSAN.

Another name has been added DO the
list of saints Of course it is woman.
The strange thing about it is that her
devotion was to a woman. Many a
woman has interposed at the risk Of her
life in behalf of some man, but the cases
in which woman has rescued woman are
not SO. easily found. An exhaustive
hagiology would not disclose "a very nu-
merous array of them.
The name of this new saint is Susan
the Ute, the squaw of an Indian Chief.
She is vastly more deserving than the
virtuous and brave Susanna, whom HOlo-
fernes insulted to his cost, for she was
unselfsh. She deserves to outrank even
that romantic heroine Of the forest, Poca-
hontas, for she saved women and child
rem, and not jolly sea captain. Susan's
was not case of the "merry, merry maid
en- and the tar 1t was Mrs. Meeker,
Miss Josephine Meeker and Mrs. Price
and two children, the captives recently
rescued from the Utes, whom this new
saint befriended. Mrs. Meeker, in speak
ing of their great deliverance says they
owed everything to Susan. Speaking Of
their perilous condition, she said:
/ hardly knew what to expect. At
times the Indians almost ignored US, and
went forward with their councils without
regarding our presence at all; again they
jeered, and taunted, and threatened us;
at other times they were comparatively
pleasant. There was but one who seem
ed determined to protect us, this was
Susan, Chief Johnson's wife, who has
shown herself, from the beginning to the
end of the troubles, woman of fine feel
ing, and genuinely humane and kind in
her disposition to her fellow-creatures. [
can never forget her nor repay her kind
ness to myself and daughter, and our en-
tire family She is good woman.
This good woman ..is also a wOman's-
rights woman. In the councils of her
tribe at which the question of peace or
further war was decided she took lead
ing part, and turned the scale in favor of
peace 1t proved to be "woman's con-
gress." She is a good debater. Her for
ensic powers are of high order. This
is said to be the first known case of
squaw taking part in council. 1t would
seem that the spirit Of the age is prevail
ing the wilds of Colorado, and that Susan
B. Anthony must look to her laurels.
While the latter has been insisting upon
the right to be heard, her more practical
namesake has asserted her right with tell
ing effect, All honor to the brave, good
woman who combines tender heart and
an eloquent tongue. If we cannot say
"may her tribe increase" we certainly
can say with all earnestness, may the
Susans of her Tube increase.-Chicago

DISCOVERYO OF THE POISON
GERM OF MALARIA.

Innumerable attempts have been made
to ascertain the poison that produces ma
laria, and in every instance until recent
ly they have failed. This poison is not
cognizable by the senses, nor could it be
detected by chemical tests. The air OF
malarial districts has been analyzed, the
soil has been submitted to microscopical
examination, but no light was thrown
on the subject by any investigation that
had been undertaken. 1t was not diff
cult to describe the places favorable to
the production to the malarial poison, or
to prescribe the proper medical remedies
for those who are suffering from it. 1t
was easy to say that the poison was gen
Grated in salt and fresh water marshes, in
wet meadows, from vegetation decaying
under a hot sun, in lands alternately
flooded and drain d, in the moving OF
earth rich in vegetable matter, and in
the drying up, under certain atmospheric
conditions, Of stagnant pools. But what
the poison was that produced those remit
ting and intermitting diseases which are
known by the various names of marsh
fever, malarial fever, fever and ague, and
popularity as "chills'' and "shakes," no
physician could explain. At length,
however, a series of Investigations into
the origin of malaria has been crowned
with success. Two men of science, Sig
nor To1nmasi, of Rome, and Professor
Kleb, of Prague, after spending three
weeks in that feyer-stricken region, the
Roman Campagna, experimenting on its
soil, it's atmosphere and its stagnant
waters, "have succeeded" it is said, Sin
discovering a microscopic fungus which,
being placed under the skins Of healthy
dogs, caused distinct and regular paroxy-
SIMS of intermittent fever, and produced
in the spleens of these animals that pecu-
liar condition which is a recognized part
Of the pathology of this disease" The
report of their investigations and expert
ments, and the success that crowned them
was read short time since in the Acade-
my of Rome, and if further tests substan-
tiate the truth of their discoyery,the next
series of experiments will have for their
object the means whereby these poison
GUS fungi may either be destroyed or rem
dered innocuous. It is doubtful whether
anything can be done in this direction.
The practicable agricultural remedy for
draining and lining must remain, we ap-
prehend, the only certain one. But one
disco cry of the source Of malaria in a
minute fungus, discernible only under
the microscope, merits nevertheless the
applause with which it has been received
and will strengthen very materially the
belief in the germ theory of disease which
has found in Tyndall one of its ablest adj
vocates.

claws of one foot, while the claws of the
other foot were deeply buried in the child's
face, and it attempted to carry the child

Little August, seeing that he could do
nothing with his own hands to help his
sister, ran quickly to the house, got the
butcher-knife, and came out and whack-

of them severely near the foot; where

Scientists are just learning that man

Scientists are just learning that man
hears as much through his mouth as
through his ears. The roof of a persons
mouth and the skull entire are micro
phones, or sounding diaphragms, of excel
lent properties, and serve as valuable as
sistants to the tympanum. Hence it is
that deaf persons are now hearing, by dis
carding the ear-trumpet SO long used and
adopting a better apparatus-the audi
phone, new-invented, .fan-shaped instru-
ment held between the teeth. The re-
suits are marvellous. With it all persons
possessing the auditory nerve may hear,
though the ears may not be OF any ser
vice. Many who have passed as deaf and
dumb soon converse with the aid of the
aid of the new instrument. The deaf
