confne myself to the travels of the
last week. spent last week in Aus

Marcus, where l spent Sunday and
portion Of Monday. The salubrity of
the climate, the purity of the water,
and the fertility of the surrounding
country, makes San Marcus one of the
most desirable little towns in Texas.
The west end of town is girded by
chain of mountains from whose base
flows the pure and limpid waters of the
San Marcus river. From the top of
these mountains the eye of the traveller
sweeps the horizon of one of the most
beautiful pictures in nature-the San

Scarlet Fever.

This is one of the most contagious
and infectious of diseases. 1t occurs
most frequently between the ages of
three and ten years. Most adults pos
sess immunity from the disease. A
second attack of the disease is unusual.
Whether scarlatina, scarlet fever or
scarlet rash, which are different names
for the same thing, ever originate spon.
taneOusly is uncertain, but if so, such
cases are rare. 1t ordinarily spreads
through a community by infection,
though the distance to which it is in
fectious is short, probably not more
than two or three yards, By isolating
a child attacked by scarlet fever other
members of the family may escape. A
very common mode Of communication is
by clothing, so that third person is
the medium of transmission. In cpl
denies of this disease in large cities the
principal source of communication is
through the public schools. a case is
mentioned where person having Wis
tied some children with scarlet fever,
afterward visited another family where
he took child upon his knee. A few

days after the child took the disease and
died. A washerwoman whose child
had the disease, on going TO the house
where she was engaged to work, threw
her shawl on the cradle where an infant
was sleeping. The child took the dis
ease. A case is recorded where box
of toys was the medium of communica,
ton. The infection, it is said, has even
been conveyed by letters.
The scarlatinous virus may remain
for weeks and even months in clothing,
or in apartments, or upon the person
who has been affected, without any APP.
probable diminution in its effectiveness.
A child was permitted to enter an
apartment where three and half
months previously had been several
cases of the fever. One week after
wards the child was attacked. A child
died of malignant scarlet fever, three
others of the same family escaping by
immediate removal. Several weeks
afterwards one returned, took the dis.
ease in twenty-four hours and died.
The house was then thoroughly cleaned,
whitewashed, and the clothing destroy.

one returned, was attacked by the dis

DR.. Elliotson states that patient with
scarlet fever was admitted into one Of
the wards of st. Thomas Hospital, and
that for two years atterward young
persons who were admitted into THU
ward were apt to take the disease
These and other recorded cases suffici
emily establish the fact of the great in
fectiousness of scarlet fever, and tn,
permanence of the scarlatinous virus
The period of incubation is usual,
from three to eight days. Well authen
ticated cases are mentioned of the de
velopment of the disease within twenty
four hours after exposure. These fact
are collated from Treatise on tn

with groves of timber, gently broken
by wide and swelling undulations, and
covered with luxuriant native grass on
which herds of sheep and cattle are
lazily browsing. descended the
mountain and walked out on an old
stopping tree over the middle of the
stream. Below me were numerous
shells rejecting the rays of the sun and
shining like plates of silver, among
which school of fish were playing.
In word, the whole looked as if some
truant rainbow bestriding the stream,
had been suddenly struck by thun'
derbolt and showered down its glisten-
ing particles upon the sandbars and
forests of moss over which the chrystal
tide waters gently glided.
In company with an old schoolmate
who joined me on the train, arrived
in San Antonio at $50 last Monday
night. As we were going up to the
hotel the omnibus entered a large
piazza (square) brilliantly illuminated
and almost filled with tables, on which
the Mexicans were serving up various
and peculiar dishes to their customers.
On the following evening l had the
pleasure of visiting this outdoor hotel
and partaking of dish of "Chila- con

per predominated over that of the beef
and beans, of which it was composed.
We also tried some "Tomolies," com.

in corn dough, the whole enveloped in

Our Increasing Subscription List.

In compliance with our request of a
few months ago, for each subscriber to
send us another subscriber, many have
responded already, some sending us as
may as half dozen new subscribers.
Through the kindness of our friends
the work goes on. Our list is daily IN
creasing. We hope soon, even before
the LIST of September, to have patron
age that will justify US in charging the
STANDARD to an eight page full grown
weekly agricultural paper. Geogra-
phically McMinnville is near the center
of the State, and we can see no good
reason why we may not successfully
start an enterprise which is to have
for its grand object, the building up
and advancement of the great agricultu-
raj, manufacturing, mining and educa-
tional interests Of the State. Make
these important interests prosperous all
over the State and we will hear but
little more of hard times and want of
business. The day has come for for
ward movement all along the line, and
every good citizen, no difference what
his occupation or business, should put
his hand to the work and help carry
forward any and all enterprises, which
have for their object the advancement
OF the general prosperity Of the country
Tennessee has the resources to make
her great and prosperous State, and
all that is wanting is proper effort on
the part of her citizenship to develop
their great resources. We can have
capital and skilled labor if VIC will
only show willingness to help our
selves and protect foreign capital.
We propose to give of our time and
means to the work and call on all
good citizens favorably disposed to
help us, and help us now. Send along
your subscriptions and as many of your
neighbors as you can get to join you.
We desire to make the STANDARD the
best dollar weekly in the country and
thus give to every subscriber value
received for his subscription. We are
receiving large home patronage and
such encouragement from many Of
our best farmers as to induce us to be-
lieve we are doing something for the
cause of agriculture, so long neglected
and discouraged in this country.
Help us circulate the STANDARD an(
we will endeavor to make it worthy
your patronage and support.

Farmers, keep your boys at home.
Learn them to love the farm. Supply
yourselves with good agricultural pa
pers, and encourage your boys to read
them and farm intelligenty. Knowl-
edge pays as well in farming as in other
vocationS, and there is more peace,
quietude and happiness to be enjoyed
in that pursuit than in any other. There
is as much money, too, to the majority
if intelIigently followed. / know, we
find no Goulds nor Vanderbilts among
farmers, nor do we find the countless
thousands of the miserable men who
throng the Offices Of the stockholders
of Wall street. Look on both sides Of
the picture before making decision.
Farmers, remember that the race (Jews)
upon whom the curse of God rests, en-
tiers not into your peaceful calling.
This should satisfy you and your sons
that yours is the highest and bappiest
life Outside the ministry in the world.
All of Gods chosen servants of old,
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and others,
were farmers, and the Apostles were
fishermen and of other like peaceful
callings. Keep the boys on the farm
if you wish them to be happy in this
life and in the life that is to come.

Keep the Boys on the Farm.

When | was school-boy remem-
Der to have read in the Satires q be-
lieve) Of Horace, that no one was salts
fed with his own calling in life. The
farmer imagined the life of a merchant
more pleasant avocation and freer
from the drudgery and hard work of
life, whilst the merchant envied the
quiet, peaceful, Independent life of the
farmer. Human nature is the same
to-day. This dissatisfaction with ones
calling is the result of a want of
proper understanding of the advan-
tages and disadvantages of the different
avocations. All have their bright and
dark side, and when the dark side is
turned to us it makes us gloomy and
dissatisfied.
In choosing a vocation we should
select that which has the greatest num-
Der of bright sides, other things being
equal. In making this choice not only
the present but the future must be con-
Sidered; for cit profteth not a man if
he gain the whole world and lose his
own soul" The experience of others
should be looked to in arriving at
conclusion and the writer gives his
own for the benefit of others.
