Foot and Mouth Disease.


In reply to Mr.. Duckham, member
stated that he had no official informa-
ton as to the existence of foot and
mouth disease in America, but at
different times cargoes of animals from
America with the disease had been
landed in Great Britain. The Drouers'
Journal asserts that animals affected
with this disease have not been brought
from America, and that Mr.. Munde ella
has been misled by the inaccurate re-
ports of the government inspector at
this port. at is stated, and upon I'M
doubtedly good authority" remarks
the trade journalist, "that what the in
spector calls ropneumonia is sim
ply pneumonia, an affections of the
lungs, caused primarily by the sudden
changes Of atmosphere in America, and
it is certainly neither contagious nor
deadly. 1t is stated, too, and upon
equally good authority us the same
fallible inspector, that this foot and
mouth disease is nothing more than a
soreness about the mouth of the ami
mails, caused by their being carried
long distances by rail III severe weather
their breath forms into ice on the
nose and mouth, causes colds and frost
bite sores. In the feet however, there
is no appearance whatever of disease,
as there unquestionably would be in
the case of the foot and mouth
disease" There ought to be no diff
Guilty in ascertaining whether or not
this is true On such point some
thing more than the fiat of one man
should be required, especially with the
prospect Of prohibited imports from
countries where contagious diseases are
known to be among the herds. 1t
would be a serious matter to stop the
importation of American cattle through
mistakes in judging the real condition
of the animals.

nize their familiar voices in homes sep
arated from us by rivers, woods and
mountains? These voices come out of
the darkness guided by a frail wire
which science provides as pathway.
Even when the curtain of night is
drawn about lis the voices are heard,
and we have not the shadow of doubt
of their integrity and identity. And
further, have we not analogies of sight
which startle us by their significance?
Is it not true that when abroad we are
open to the view of unseen observers
long distances from us, and ouT every
act and movement known? The excel
lence of optical instruments is such
that we have seen the motion of the
lips of persons in conversation, while
sitting on house balcony three miles
distant, the observed, of course, being
wholly unconscious of being seen by
any one. If our friends in this life, dead
to us hidden as they are by the shroud
Of space), can be seen, and we can hear
their voices, their shouts of laughter,
the words of the hymns they sing, the
cries of the little ones in the mothers
arms. is it very absurd to anticipate n
,ime when those dead to us by the dis
solution of the body may, by some I'M
known telephony, send to us voices
from a realm close at hand but hidden
from mortal vision? We have no
proofs to offer that this realm of the
departed, this home of the soul, is close
at hand, but 1t is certainly more rea-
sonable to adopt this hypothesis than
the popular one of p material world or
place, somewhere afar off in the depths

the other absurd.

The Power of Humbug .

An individual who opened small
tavern near the field of Waterloo, was
frequently questioned as to whether he
did not possess some relics of the bat
tie, and he invariably and honestly an
swered in the negative. But he was very
poor, and one day while lamenting to a
neighbor, not only his poverty, but the
annoyance to which travellers subjected
him, his friend cut him short with,
" Well, make one help the other Make
some relics"
"But what can I do p inquired the
poor man.
"Tell them that Napoleon or yelling
ton entered your shop during the bat
tie, and sat down in that chair"
Not long after an English tourist en-
tered the tavern, and, inquiring for rel
les, was told the chair story. The chair
was bought at an incredible price. The
next conner was informed that Yelling
ton had taken drink, and the yelling
ION tumbler was accordingly sold. The
third arrival gazed with breathless
wonder at the nail on which Bonaparte
had hung his hat; the fourth purchased
the door posts between which he had
entered, and the fifth become the hap
by purchaser of the floor on which he
had trodden At the last advices, the
fortunate tavern keeper had not roof
to cover his head, and was sitting on a
bag of gold in the corner of deep pit
formed by selling the earth on which
the house had stood.

A Bogus Prophecy.

1t is well known that Mother Shipton
prophesied that the world to an end
would come in 1881. This forecast has
not yet had depreciating effect on real
estate, and it is rather doubtful if the
most superstitious Detroiter would sell
anything any less on account of it.
Mother Shipton was a garrulous old
lady, whose manuscript is dated 144S.
Her book of local prophecies, which is
in the British museum, bears date 1641.
IF, at that time, the lines were written,
that Carriages without horses would
60" and that through mountains men
Shall ride" iron swim on the sea- the
book would be, indeed remarkable. But
these prophetic phrases, together with
the 1881 prediction, are all forgeries on
the old lady. In 1862, Charles Hiadley,
of Brighton, England, published Mother
Shinton's book, in which he interpolated
the lines referred to. The 1881 proph-
ecy was taken from Piazza Smiths
reading of the hieroglyphics in the
grand gallery Of the Pyramid. Hindley
afterward confessed his imposture pub
