The New Veterinary Station.

N~hpunl hepuDhcan.
: The experimental station of the veterinary
division of the United States Agricultural
Department, recently established near this
city, is now completed, and will be formally
opened his week, under the general super
vision of DR.. D.. Z. Salmon, one of the most
skillful scientific veterinarians known in the
profession. His abundant experience as a
scientific investigator entities him to the high
distinction which he now holds before the
country. The station is located about a mile
from the northeastern boundary of this city,
and contains about seven acres of ground,
which is splendidly adapted 10 the uses for
which it is designed, and improved by tine
erection of buildings fitted up nicely with
stalls for the care of animals, and dissecting-
rooms and other conveniences required for
scientific experiments and treatment of cpl
demic diseases of domestieated animals. 1t
is the intention to first take UP the treatment
of cattle diseases, commencing with pleuro-
pneumonia and Spanish or Texas fever. Hog
and chicken cholera will also claim proper at
tention, as they are considered matters of es-
sential interest and importance, since they
cause an aggregate loss annually of many
millions of dollars to breeders. ~
The bright hopes that were entertained q
few years ago of an extensive cattle trade
with Europe are now threatened with total
extinction through the prevalence of disease
among the herds of Western cattle. The ac-
ton taken by foreign governments prohibit
ing importation is because these diseases ex-
list among the cattle of the United States.
interest involved is and the
anticipated success awaiting the results of
these experiments will be welcomed as a har-
hinger of a brighter day for one of the most
important of our American interests.

The Fatal Cigarette.
Cleveland Herald

cleveland Herald.
A prominent physician said to a Herald
representative, speaking of a dude who
foated gracefully by, leaving an aroma of
cigarette behind him, "Do you know what
habit that young fellow is acquiring?"
THE habit of smoking cigarettes"
HE thinks it is, but it is in reality the
opium habit. He begins because he thinks
it looks cute to smoke. Cigars make him
sick, and it's too 'vulgeh, donch know but
he feels that he must smoke, and so he stupe-
fies his tender brain with that COM
pound of chopped straw soaked in
tobacco tea, stems and refuse
of tobacco, poppy leaves and paper
prepared with arsenic and a few other poi
sons. Poppy leaves and powdered seed are
used to give the soothing effect so much
sought for, and after a few weeks or months
of use the smoker can't get along without
them, and is all broken up when he tries to
stop. He find his sleep gone, his nerves I'M
strung, his appetite forsakes him; but as soon
as he returns to his cigarettes ali is right.
This is what makes the dude so sallow and
pale as a rule. Some of them start out with
bright, clean compilations, but they soon find
that they have to make up with rouge after
a while. don't know but it's a wise dispen-
sation of an all-seeing Providence after all.
The dude and the cigarette are logically in
separable, and it may be that the cigarette is
devised for the express purpose of eliminat-
ing the dude. Herbert Spencer says that
evil is evanesc-' but the reporter boarded
the next car in self-defense.

SAM. RANDALL,s EARLY LIFE.
Tough Stories of the Pennsylvania States
man-From Ward hummer to the Speaker
ship of the House. @ 81, .

man-From Ward hummer to the Speaker
ship of The House. a'
Washington Letter in Cincinnati News Journal.
"What is there about RandaIrs early his
tory,".I asked of my Philadelphia friend,
different from the stories the country knows
about his early dissipation, for that doesn't
COUNT"
"Of course" he said, 'there is nobody to
blame a man who has been helplessly dissi-
pated. Men of the world have large compass
sion for their fellows who cannot take a
drink without confrontiug demons after sun
down. Everybody who knows anything
about the man knows how Randall fought
shadows after the lights were out, and how
the shades of his bedchamber took on horrid
shapes, for his is a nervous organization. and
who has not seen the victim of mania-a-
potu?"
/ said I had not, and would be glad to have
them depicted by one who had. Ny friend
blushed, and in great embarrassment assured
me he was only speaking as an observer, and,
perhaps ought not to have touched on that
subject at all.
"What l started out to say" he continued
twas that Randalls early life was that of q
hummer as well as a drinker. He was the
finest type of ward hummer | ever saw. l
use the term hummer in its best sense, for
there are shades of responsibility even in the
ranks of bummers. Randall was what his
class would have described as a gentleman.
He drank as many times and took bigger
drinks than any of his kind, but he kept his
head clear enough at all times to mark time
with the steadiest step"
"What was his favorite drink?' asked.
ut is lard to tell. Anything to make the
blood glow holly, | should say, for he was
the devils own for stirring up strife"
You are not telling me that Randall was
a striker?' said.
II am trying to tell you hat Sam. Randall,
in those days, went to every extreme; that
he was a common ward GUNNER in all that
the term implies, and that he won his su-
premacy in local affairs more by the force of
muscle than by the power of logic"
'Come, come now" said |, in a bantering
tone, you don't mean to say that Randall
ever knocked men down?'
"Knocked men downl" he exclaimed.
"Why | have seen him knock down a half
a dozen men in as many minutes, any one of
them big enough to make Sullivan sick at
the stomach. He was the most powerful
man physically | ever saw. At the presiden-
tial election of 1856, when Buchanan was
the Democratic candidate, | saw Randall, in
| a scrimmage that lasted only the few min
utes / was waiting to vote, lay out these six
buffers, all of whom were said to be champi-
on plugs in their wards. The way it happened
was this; A man went to the polls in regular
order, for every voter had to take his place
in line, and his vote was challenged. The
challengers for each party were stationed on
either side of the voting place, hedged-off by
wooden ratings, temporarily erected to di-
! vide the just from the unjust. Each party
