Small POX RaVageS.

The officials of the national board of
health have pronounced the small pOX
epidemic in the United States, and are
extremely anxious that something be
done in the way of better quarantine
regulations at New York and other
ports. 1t seems that the requirements
are entirely inadequate, and that the
small pOX is being spread all over the
country by the filthy immigrants who
come reeking from the steerage of the
ocean steamers into Castle Garden, and
thence go West, carrying infection with
them.
At Jersey City, a family named
Williams were discovered to be in
dreadful restitution Friday. Williams
died of small pOx, last week, and the
authorities burned the only bed the
family had. Mrs. Williams was taken
with the disease and lay on a heap of
rags on the floor. Her little boy and
girl were both found dead beside her,
that morning, and another child dying.

member of the freshman class of Am

Richardson's house, where he rooms.
He attended recitatiOns with his class
as usual Saturday, and the students
are quite excited over their exposure.
Five cases of small pox were report
ed to the authorities on the Doth. One
case was that of man who travelled
all the way from Iowa suffering from
the disease without knowing it.
Thirty-three cases of small pOx are
reported among the colored people of
Portsmouth, Va, and suburbs.
Seventeen new cases of small pOx in
Pittsburg, and l3 in Allegheny City,
Pa, were reported on Friday.
There were % deaths from small pox
in Philadelphia last week, an increase
of IA over the preceding week.

The working committee" of st.

that they took up this warfare with a
view to treating all parties alike in
the matter of enforcing the liquor law.
They further say There have been
few prosecutions, and probably more
will follow. We propose to stand by
all these cases and see that the spirit
and intent of the law is carried out"
They deny emphatically that more
liquor is sold there than formerly, or
that there is more drunkenness on the
streets. The report gratefully ac-
knowledges the effective aid given by
the ladies, and the encouragement af-
forded by the town authorities; and
closes by saying, in regard to the flu
ture: I'VE propose to go on with the
work in hand, i'll the spirit and man

As will be seen from accounts in an
other column, smallpox has become
epidemic in this country, and is max
ing bad work in different localities. 1t
is now definitely known that this
dreaded disease is never taken except
by infection from somebody who has
it, and that contagion is possible over
a considerable distance. The epidemic
is influenced more or less by the season
of the year and the state of the wealth

and in different localities, so that Just

The Ohio Republican state con-

inst, the attendance being unusually
large. Senator d. A. Hollingsworth

a long speech he reviewed the record
of the Republican party, national.and

he thought an amendment to the
Constitution should be submitted to

ton made final with the people. He

garding the Sunday law, as opposed
to the record Of free whiskey and no

A Well Kept Lawn.

We have already suggested that
the use of the lawn mower should
not be governed by any one rule,
such as "mow once a week." but by
the condition Of the grass. In mid
summer more injury may result from
moving too frequently than from cut
ting too seldom. We would now
call attention to the weeds on the
lawn. Weeds here, as elsewhere,
are annual and perennial, and they
may be undesirable grasses or other
kinds of plants. Take the perennial
weeds, for example; these come from
seeds brought on in manure or taken
there otherwise. These are cut back
each time the move is used, and are
hardly, if at all noticed in the spring
months. In midsummer, when we
NOW less frequently, to give the grass
a chance, these weeds which we have
been Internationally pruning in the
early months, are quite ready to as
sert themselves. Plantain, Dock,
Thistles, and Others not before motto
ed will in the short rest we give to
grass, make themselves conspicuous.
The best treatment for such perennial
weeds, even on a large lawn, is hand
wedding. A long knife or a chisel-
shaped "spud" thrust we'll down to
cut the root, will allow the plant to
be pulled up without disturbing the
grass. In England they have a con-
trivance for killing such plants, which
places a few drops of oil of vitrol
(sulphuric acid) on the centre of
each. We have not had occasion to
try this, but those who make the ex-
pertinent should keep in mind the de-
structive effect of the acid upon the
clothing, and the fact that it should
not come in contact with the fingers,
etc. Annual weeds as a general
thing are of but little consequence
after the first year, as the frequent
moving subdues them. One of the
worst of these is a grass, the "Crab-
grass" (Panicum sanguinale). 1t
appears late and its PROSTATE stems
lie close to the ground, taking root
at every joint. This is also known
as "Finger grass" and bears its
flowers and seeds in a panicle that
looks like the frame of an umbrella.
Whenever the flowers Of this appear
the lawn should be moved to prevent
the ripening of seeds, and it will be
safe to rake off the mowings, lest the
immature seed ripens after the grass
is cut.--American Agriculturist for
July.
