Scarlet Fever in Horses,

For some time scarlet fever among horses
has attracted considerable attention, and
committees from three medical societies are
now investigating the subject. The disease
was first described in horses in 1914, and
from that date to 1910 there are evidences
showing its simultaneous appearance in
both horses and men. The conclusion has
been drawn by some writer's that it origin
ated in horses and was by them communi-
Gated to man. The New York San reports
DR., John G, Peters, chairman of each com
mittee, as saying:
s:The most remarkable results have been
obtained by d. j. W. Steckler, of Orange,
N. J., He had some equine virus sent to
him by DIR. Williams, of Edinburgh. DR..
Steckler inoculated twelve children, who
were afterward exposed to the disease of
scarlet fever, and did not take it. That
was last May or June. He has inoculated
two young colts and reproduced the disease
among them. He failed with calf, show
ing that the horses were more susceptible
of the disease Another set of children
was inoculated, all of whom were living in
the same roor where case of scarlet fever
had broken out Some who had been ex-
posed before the inoculation took the dis
ease, but majority escaped. There was
only one case that looked like failure. DIR.
Steckler will cultivate the virus and prove
his experiments. He is sure to meet with
great opposition, and possibly as much as
Jenner did, but have no doubt he has
made discovery as great as Jenner's, and
one that will prove as signal an epock in
the history of medicine,
Cleanliness in the stable, good ventila-
ton, pure water, and reliable disinfectants,
are the best preventives.

Asia's Floating Gardens.

Among the most remarkable illustrations
of human energy are certainly the floating
gardens in Kashmir, in Eastern Asia, the
more so that they are the work of an essen
TALLY indolent population. For their crea-
ton and expanse of water about nine miles
in circumference has been utilized, on which
masses of weeds, grasses and aquatic plants
grow and become intertwined and entangled.
These form the soil, as it were, on which
cultivation is carried on. Divisions are
made in them, they are cut level with the
surface of the water and then banked over
with river mud Properly prepared for
this purpose, this soil is sown with melons
and cucumber plants, and crop is raised
which is unequalled in any country in guam
tity and quality These melons and Gu
cumbers are sold in good season at the
rate of ten or twenty for 2 cents in dear
seasons they bring 2 cents apiece. Float
ing gardens in Mexico are upon much the
same plan, but are usually devoted to the
culture of flowers

Antiquity Of Long Branch.

Long Branch is said to be the oldest
town in that part of New jersey, and the
queer little church about which the houses
are clustered was originally built in Queen
Anne's time, although but little is left of
the original structure except the high
backed Governor pew, the silver commun-
ion service, the Bible and the old iron cross
surmounted by crown, which bears the
weather-cock. The crown, tradition says,
had its symmetry of design marred by a
bullet during the Revolutionary war, when
some jealous patriot wasted his ammuni-
on the hated symbol. The whole place
now has SO calm an air it is hard to realize
that it can have witnessed such stirring
times. There are some queer old stones in
the graveyard which surrounds the church.
One leaning against the wall bears the date
of 1923 on its crumbllng surface. A stone
which Immediately attracts attention is a
plain marble slab, quite moss gown, although
not yet half century old, next to which
is another of the same size but much more
modern, while in an even row are arranged
ten little white marble slabs about foot
high. The inscription tells us that they
were raised to the ten children of Aaron
Jones, ''who died within ten days of their
birth"

How a Pig Caused a War.

II has been frequently ascertained that
pig brought on the war of 1872 between the
United States and Great Britain. Just how
the matter was managed Boston antigua
rian has found out In the town of Gran
ston, r. l., pig broke in a gentleman's
garden, and created so much havoc that a
suit for damages followed. James Burrill
was opposed to declaring war, and was
candidate for the United States Senate.
When vote was taken in the State Legis-
lature for Senator, one of Burrill's friends
was absent, having been compelled to attend
the lawsuit about the pig, and tie vote
resulted. The speaker, with the casting
vote, beat Burrill, and elected ], B. Howell
in his stead The declaration of war was
carried in the United States Senate by a
majority of one, and Howell voted for it.
The pig that got up all this trouble was
probably sold to an army contractor, and
finally devoured es>tbe hungry defenders
of our country.

God Made Us To Laugh.

God made us to laugh as well as to cry.
The laugh of child will make the holiest
day more sacred still. Strike with hand of
fire, 0, weird musician, thy harp strung
with Apollo's golden hair Fill the vast
cathedral aisles with symphonies sweet and
dim, deft teacher of the organ keys Blow,
bugler, blow until thy silver notes do touch
and kiss the moonlit waves, charming the
wandering lovers on the yine-clad hills !;
but know your sweetest strain are discords
all compared with childhood's happy laugh
the laugh that fills the eyes with light, and
dimplesegery cheek withjoy. Oh, ripphng
river Of laughter, thou art the blessed boun-
dary line between the beast and man, and
every wayward wave of time doth drown
some fretful fend of care.
