The Chambers.

Because of the recent appearance
among horses of the dread and invari-
ably fatal disease known as CHAMBERS,
and its alarming prevalence in some
portions of the State, something about
its nature and the means for preventing
contagion may prove profitable. A well
known and thoroughly informed veter-
mary surgeon was interviewed yester-
day by reporter for the Times on this
subject. He said: "Of all diseases
among live stock this peculiar form of
CHAMBERS is the most to be dreaded.
When an animal is afflicted with it there
is absolutely no hope of recovery, and
the only thing to be done is to limit it
to the one patient if possible. This is
rarely, if ever, possible, however, for
with great rapidity the whole stable be-
comes infected, even to the building,
harness and litter. In fact, everything
in the barn becomes pregnant with the
germs of the disease, and it is almost
impossible to eradicate them. There
is only one sure way known to the pro-
fession, and that is to destroy all the
horses, and then burn the stable with
its entire contents. The attendants upon
such cases very frequently contract the
contagion, and it operates with as
deadly effect upon man as upon a
horse. BY the most systematic disin-
lection, however, a man may, with com
parative safety, treat cases of CHAMBERS.
He must make an absolute change of
clothing upon leaving the stable and
take thorough bath if he would not
spread the disease or contract it him.
self.
'.How may the disease be detected in
its primary stages?"
SIN the earlier stages the symptoms
are similar to those of ordinary distem-
per, and it is very apt to be mistaken
for that disease even by experienced
veterinary surgeons. Within few DAYS,
however, the changes are very pro
nounced. The glands of the throat be-
come swollen, and malignant eating
ulcers form in the nostrils. In short
time a dropsical swelling of the joints
appears, attended by alterations on the
lymphatics of the skin. The lungs
finally become infected, followed by a
distressing cough, and before long the
animal dies
How long has the disease been
known to existp" s7t
For many years, but it appears peri
odically During the war cavalry
horses were killed by scores by CLAN
ders and it was no unusual occurrence
for the horses of an entire regiment to
be destroyed before the contagion could
be checked. !"
sDoes the disease ever originate
spontaneously"
sit is claimed by some that it does
appear without specific contagion, but
think that such an idea is erroneous.
never heard of a ease that originated
without direct contact with previous
case To prevent contagion too much
Importance cannot be attached to a
most rigid disinfection. 1t should be
even more exaeting than in small
pox.' 5
'.Do you think the disease is liza BILE to
extend beyond the district at present
infected"
''That will depend entirely upon the
care that is exercised by the people in
those districts. 1t is so easily trans.

A Little Incident by the Way.

A traveller saw woman take man
by the collar, yank him up the steps
into railroad car, jam him down into
the hot seat next the stove, pile up a
valse and two big brown baskets with
loose covers and long handles at his
feet, shove baby into his lap and say:
Nov, sit there until help Mary
Jane on the car, and don't you move
until come back"
When the woman reached the car
door, the traveller said to her:
''Is that your husbandp'
"Naw-w-wr' roared the woman; s.he's
my daughters husband, and she hasn't
spirit enough to say her soul is her
own!''
This true story teaches MS that some
travellers have not enough sense to
diagnose family party when they see
one. Wall Street Neaos.

canary returned the compliment. If ]

they pecked at my window until I came.
Other birds came to look, but only the
sparrow could be induced to enter the
room. They came every day. and by
their engaging way did much to make
life pleasanter. Nowhere in the world
are there more birds than in Germany
