How to Prevent Whooping. Cough

1t is said that DR.. Tschamer of Gratz,
has discovered that fungus grows on
the skins of apples and oranges which is
precisely similar to the fungus which
forms the peculiar germs of infection in
whooping-cough. He writes that on
oranges and apples which have been
kept some time may be found dark brown
and black specks which when scraped
off appear as a damp powder. Under
the microscope this powder is seen to con-
sist of the spores of q fungus identical
with those of the whooping-cough fun
gus. Taking two or three ofthese specks
from the skin ofan orange, DR.. Tschamer
introduced them by strong inhalation
into his lungs. The next day tickling OF
the throat began, which gradually in
creased until at the eighth day thor
oughly developed whooping-cough set
i'll. The e&peetoratu, OH nicroscopical
examination, exhibited the same white
corpuscles which characterize the ex.
pectorata of the usual children's whoop-
ing-cough. Should this discovery be
confirmed, there is additional reason to
see that children abstain from eating
apples with the skin on, and from chew
ing orange peel, which many are so
fond of doing.

Temperance Congress.

1t has been decided to hold the Estate
temperance congress" which was at first
suggested for Lake Pleasant at the North
ampton camp ground September IA and
Is. Some of the best temperance work
ers of the state, men and women, are ex-
peeted to take part. On the afternoon of
the l4th there will be a rally of reformed
men, and in the evening convention of
delegates from reform clubs, Good Temp
lars. Sons of Temperance, etc. tits pro-
posed to call the second "woman's day"
and in the morning there will be an ad-
dress by good speaker of the sex. The
clearinghouse will furnish meals at
reasonable rates, and those who take
blankets can find lodging places in the
cottages and society buildings. A large
chorus of singers will be on hand. All
the railroads will probably reduce
fares, as the Fitchburg and Connecticut
River have agreed to do. This congress
is in part under the auspices of the West
ern Massachusetts total abstinence soci-
ETY., and further information can be OBJ
tanned of the secretary, Rev. A. W. Mills,
of Greenfield. A leading object of this
society is to revive fading temperance
organizations. Springfield Republican.

Think Of Others.

The honest expression of an honest be-
lief ought always to awaken respectful
sympathy, even in those who cannot
share it; and, if we only drew closer to
those whose opinions are adverse to our
own, we should find much in them to
draw forth this sympathy. Nothing can
be more unjust than to charge people
with moral delinquency because their
intellectual perceptions are at variance
with our own; yet this is precisely what
we do when we decry an opposite party
and attribute to its members mean and
unworthy motives, when their only
crime is that they will not adopt our
views or pursue our methods. Holding
ourselves so far aloof from them, we
imagine them to be monsters; if we draw
near enough to discern their mental con-
dition, we shall find them to be men like
ourselves, and still closer approach
will enable us to extend to them the
right hand of brotherhood without the
least infraction Of our own or of their
perfect liberty of thought.

coops to be seen. With faltcring steps
he tottered to the door and knocked. A
woman, stranger to him, opened it.
"Mr. Renie," said Tom, softly-"is he
at homePn
"AIr. Renie, sirl" replied the woman.
"Why, sir, he's been dead year or
mure.n
"Indeedl'' said Tom.
He was too much shocked at the news
to express any grief Mt the moment; and
as he made a movement as if to turn
away, the woman closed the door.
But he did not leave at once. Leaning
his head against the portal, he tried to
think; but his brain was in whirl, and
all was chaos until food of tears came
to his reliet.
The first burst of grief over, he went
to the church-yard, where he knew he
could find his fathers grave He found
it, with an humble headstone, bearing
upon it a simple inscription, recording
his name, age and the day of his death.
By that grave he knelt, and prayed for
strength to live better and purer life.
His first thought was to try and settle
in his native place; but he found another
had taken the place his father had left,
and so he turned his face once more to
the great metropolis, where he settled to
work again, devoting his evenings and
spare time to agitating. Not the agitat-
ing of old, which sets those who ought
to be friends by the ears, but agitating
against the sins of his own life-hardDess
of heart, selfshness and intemperance.
He is now happy Christian man, daily
thankful to Almighty God, who has
rescued him from the ruin which is the
lot of SO many who leave their homes
and simple life to see the world and
"gain experience in it's Ways.n

There is n picture in Hankow, China
representing miracle of like import to
that of Jesus at Cana. A landlord had
treated one of the genii with great kind
ness. He rewarded him by turning his
well into wine pool. The hosts ava
rice was awakened. and he complained
that now he had no swill for his pigs,
whereupon the well gave forth water
again. Hence, in characterizing an ava
ricious man, the Chinese say 'If his well
bubbled wine he would complain Of a.
lack of swill,"

Not Wise.

II Ihad told her in the spnng
The old, old story briefly,
When the sparrow and robin began to sing,
And the plowing was over chiefly!
But haste makes waste and the story sweet,
lreasoned, would keep through the sowing,
] i'll drop the corn and SOW the wheat
And give them a chance for growing
Had even told the tale in June,
When the wind through the grass was blow
ing,
Instead of thinking II rather too soon,
And waiting till after the moving.
Or had limited, out under the stars,
That knew a story worth hearing,
Lingering to put up the pasture bars,
Nor waited to do the shearing!
Now the barn is full, and 90 is the bin,
But I've grown wise without glory,
Since love is the crop not gathered in,
For my neighbor told her the story.

Drop down and kiss the rosesj

Where dreamful slumber closes;
But Death, sweet Death, be nigh, be nigh
Where love in peace reposes!

THE sun FOR 1881

Everybody reads The Sun. In the editions
of this newspaper throughout the year to
come everybody will find:
j. All the worlds news, SO presented that
the reader will get the greatest amount of in
formation with the least Improbable expcndi
ture of time and eyesight. THE Sun long ago
discovered the golden mean between redundant
fullness and unsatisfactory brevity.
III. Much of that sort of news which de-
ponds less upon its recognized Importance than
upon its interest to mankind. From morning
to morning THE Sun prints continued story
of the lives of real men and women, and of
their deeds, plans, loves, hates and troubles.
This story is more varied and more interesting
than any romance that was ever devised.
ILL., Good writing in every column, and
| freshness, originality, accuracy and decorum
| in the treatment of every subject.
| ~. Honest comment. THE Suns habit is
| to speak out fearessly about men and things.
V. Equal candor in dealing with each po-
| lltlcal party, and equal readiness to commend
what is praiseworthy or to rebuke what is
| blamable i'll Democrat or Republican.
| VI. Absolute independence of partisan or
| CARNATIONS, but unwavering loyalty to true
| Democratic principles. The Sun believes that
the Government which the Constitution gives
us is good one to keep It's notion of duty
| is to resist to its utmost power the efforts of
men in the Republican party to set up another
! form of government in place of that which
exists. The year 1881 and the years i'm
mediateIy following will probably decide this
supremacy important contest. THE Sun be-
lieves that the victory will be with the people
as against the Rings for monopoly, the Rings
| for plumber, and the Rings for imperial power.
| Our terms arc as follows:
For the Daily Sun, a four-page sheet of

is believed that four or five new Touring mills
will soon be constructed, and factories of va
rious kinds put up. In few short years
the east bank of the Mississippi
will be spotted with mills, and the buzz of
machinery will be heard for distance around.
In regard to the recent break in the tunnel
Engineer Morris says it is merely matter of

trouble is apprehended. Mr.. Norris expects
every day to receive instructions to begin work
