he wished to congratulate the members upon
the present meeting. He said it was the largest
ever held, and in the amount of sectional mate
rial offered and interest aroused in discussion of
the material presented to the sections, this meet

then declared the association adjourned sine die.
There was amusing incident at to-days
session OF the association DIR. Ghlon. OF the
navy, made formal protest against the absence
of any statue in this city to the memory of a
member of the medical profession. He said
there were statues to soldiers, sailors. statesmen
and nearly everybody else, scattered around
Washington parks and public buildings. He
wanted this rectfed by the erection OF statue
to Dr. Rush, who was one of the signers OF the
Declaration of Independence. There must be
statue to some distinguished member of the
medical fraternity. He said this very earnestly.
There was a response equally earnest. A dele

just full of monuments to eminent medical men,

LONDON, May 9.-The Memoirs Of Princess
Alice was given to the public to-day. In sub
stance it is the same as the German edition. 1t
includes no new correspondence of any particu-
lar Importance. Princess Christian under
whose care the edition has been prepared, con
tributes preface in which she says;

such remarkable breath and sagacity
for the present, can be freely dealt with. To
assist in this, my mother has selected extracts
from her correspondence, which, under request
of the Grand Duke, her husband, were to be
translated into German and published. The let
tiers are now given to the English public in their
original form. They show how devoted she was
TO the land of her birth. how her heart turned
ever to it with reverence and affection, as q
country doing for liberty and the advancement
of mankind moro than any other country i'll the
world
In the concluding portion Of the book, the
Princess is spoken of as having great deli
eacy of features, but with sameness of ex-
preston Dignity and gracefulness, 1t is
said, characterized her every movement, and,

ARIsTOcRAT1c ASTHMA.

The latest fashionable disease in England is
said to be species of asthma caused by the
smell of horse Among the distinguished
victims are the Duchess of Argyll and the
Marquis of Salsbury's son. None, of course
are liable to the disease but those persons so
unfortunate as to be the owners of horses
and, therefore, compelled to inhale the objec
tionable odor by reason of close proximity to
the beasts when riding them. This naturally
singles out the afflicted ones as sufferers from
a complaint which comparatively few individ-
uals can contract, and the prominence thus
given to such sensitive plants must be dis
tressing 1t may be urged that the disease
need not necessarily be confined to the upper
classes Of society," because hostlers, draymen,
grooms, and the like, also spend much time in
the immediate neighborhood of horses; but
the idea that the latter-named members of So
ciety could contract asthma from such cause
is absurd. They would be the first to laugh at
it. 1t must follow, then, that this particular
form of affection is exclusive in its action.
What makes the matter worse is the inability
of the physicians, to suggest an ad-
equate remedy. One rude, un-
sympathetic member of the profession
does, it is true coarsely advise his patients to
sleep over stable until they can first endure
and then rejoice in the F'horsey" atmosphere;
but this is the suggestion of man who has
no conception of the finer emotions and sensi-
bilities of the elite They have horses which
they must ride and which, when ridden, cause
them to wheeze and gasp in asthmatic misery.
It is not enough to suggest that they might
walk-such course would be cruelty to ami
mails, Nor are they to be considered as belong
ing in the same category with a certain class
who, because they object to the smell of
hog are, in the language of an esteemed ex-
congressman, "a leetle too nice to i've" They
are not by any means too nice to live; they
need to live long, in order to accumulate wis
dom and other useful accomplishments of high

pathetic and scientific Samaritan should 90 to

WIN. HAYES, of Green Ridge, Staten Island,
is a wealthy farmer of some sixty years of age.
From all accounts Mr. Hayes is an innocent
kind of harmless old man, and, if left to him
self, would have plodded along quietly and gone
to his grave mourned by a small but very select
circle of friends But. in an evil hour, Williams
eyes fell upon Mary Sullivan, the domestic in
service of neighbor, and then trouble began.
William made it rule to climb the
dividing line fence when Mary MIXED the
cows, until Mr. Hayes's ideas of Mary's charms
became so exaggerated that he was not himself
at all. His agony became so intense, as his love
unfolded and grew, that he finally suggested that
a marriage would be about the right thing.
Mary who is not thirty, was coy, and in inverse
ratio Hayes was importunate. He offered TO
transfer to her all his property including the
farm, the house, the horses, cows and all. This
knocked the persimmon, and Mary said
she would have him. Just about that time
the thought occurred to Hayes that maybe he
would better not, and he weakened forthwith.
The sequel is of the regulation pattern-suit in
court-average jury-tearful plaintiff and $500
damages. For wonder, Hayes regarded this
as Every reasonable" and paid it with
the remark-"T always knew it would
be mighty expensive for me if meddled with
women" In justice to Mr.. Hayes it should BIO

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Please explain in full the difference between
protective tariff and tariff for revenue only.
VANDALIA, May 8. A READER.
The terms explain themselves. A tariff laid
for revenue with the protective idea will be
adjusted so as to place duties upon articles
manufactured or produced in other countries
which come into competition with the same class
of goods manufactured or produced in this
country with view Of reducing the import
alton of such articles in quantities that would
leopard or interfere with the domestic industry
or production. A tariff for revenue only is one
that has no care for home industry, but levies
its duties with the single purpose of producing
revenue An ideal tariff for revenue only"
would be one that would induce the largest de
gree of importations so as to increase the
amount of the revenue.

Save the Chicks.

Fully one-half the chicks are sacri-
feed to tho carelessness or ignorance of
their owners. Well may they say, with
the reported epitaph: "If so soon I'm
done for, what was I begun for?" for
surely it is a great waste to have the
little things Matched and then permit
them to be lost for want of care. Some
are killed with kindness; overfed and
fused to death. At this season they
are better without the hen rs soon as
they are four weeks old. Having q
warm, dry coop they will nestle there
alone, and be free from the filth aud
%overcrowding ofthe hen. They should
be fed three times a day, and supplied
with fresh clean water morning, noon,
and evening, and coarse corn-meal, not
the cracked meal, but the ground meal,
scalded with sufficient water to swell it,
but not to make it mushy, is the best
food. Wheat screenings for a change
and a feed of crushed or pounded fresh
bone will be found healthful and salts
flying. Then a runin a grassy or weedy
field, where they can find insects and
some green food, will keep them in
health and growing. At s weeks old
they are large enough for broilers, and
just now sell for 40 to SO cents a pound,
or rs to SO cents each. The poultry
keeper who has a lot of such chicks will
be the one who finds there is profit in
poultry.-New York Times.

Training Tomato Plants,

Most growers agree that keeping to-
matoes off the ground is q great ad-
vantage. Stakes or trellises are now
used to agreat extent to train them
to. A common way is to train to single
stakes of about four feet in height tying
the plant to the stakes as it grows.
This is little or no improvement over
the old way of letting them lie on che
ground. A much better plan is to set
the plants in rows Of three or four feet
apart, and the plants three feet In the
row. Before setting the plants, dig out
o couple of spits of earth, and set in
three branches of trees-twiggy ones
are best-in triangular form, with the
tops spreading outwards. Set the
plant in the centre of this, and as it
grows keep the shoots inside of the
stakes by passing a string around them.
There is no better way to get good,
clean fruit tomatoes. AS everything
generally hos some disadvantage with it,
so this way of growing tomatoes is not
perfect. When the plants are allowed
to run over the ground they keep the
soil cool and moist. 1t follows that
tying up to stakes produces the oppo-
site effect, and the plants suffer the
sooner from summer droughts. This
can be easily remedied by mulching
around the plants with something to
break the suns rays. If nothing else is
at hand cornstalks answer admirably.
Tomatoes produce such a mass of foliage
that they require much moisture, and it
is surprising how they thrive when by
mulching Dr. other means the ground
is never allowed to become too dry.

Mother Speak Kindly.

Children catch cross tones quicker
than parrots, and they become perma-
nent habits in them. When mothers
set the example, you will scarcely hear
. pleasant word among the children in
their plays with each other. Yet the
discipline of such a family is weak and
irregular. The children expect Just so
much scolding before they do anything
they are bid, while in many a home
where the low firm tone of the mother,
or the decided look of her steady eye,
is law, they always think Of obedience,
either in or out of sight. Oh mother.
it is worth a great deal to cultivate that
excellent thing in mi a low, sweet
voice. If you are ever so much tried
by the mischievous or willtul pranks of
the little ones, speak low. It will be a
great help toyou to eve try to be pa
tient and cheerful, if you cannot sue
coed. Anger makes you wretched, and
your children also. Impatient angry
tones never did the heart good, but
plenty of evil. You cannot have the
excuse for them that they tighten your
burdens at all; they make the monty
ten pounds heavier. For your own
as well as your children's sake,
learn to speak low. They will remem-
Der that tone when your head is under
the turf. So too, will they remember
the harsh and angry tone. Which leg
acy will you leave to your children

in large numbers, and numerous fall
ures to do SO serve as warnings to
novices thinking Of undertaking the
really difficult, though apparently easy
enterprise. That with the right sort
of knowledge and a fair amount of
gumption it can be done is, however,
shown by the example of D.. w. An

in o note to us, thus epitomizes his ex-
perience: II started poultry keeping

So, 1853. 02 for my labor. The profit de-
ponds on the grain market, the egg
market, and the skill of the poultry

which has more than once been made
in our columns, that it is absurd to be
sending abroad every year vast sums in
payment for eggs, while the business of
producing them at home sis perfectly
simple, honest, healthful and profit
able"
