Tar Smoke for phtheria.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times
Ruth Lockwood, the 9-year old child
of Thomas Lockwood, compositor in
the Times Office, became violently i'll
with diphtheria on Tuesday nig ht.
She was SO weak that it was deemed
dangerous to try tracheotomy, or cutting
open the windpipe. On Thursday DR..
Nichols of III West Washington place,
who was attending her, received copy
of the Paris Figaro, which contained a
report made to the French academy of
medicine by DR.. Delthil, DIR. Delthil
said that the vapors of liquid tar and
turpentine would dissolve the fbrinous
exudations which choke up the throat
in Group and diphtheria.
DR.. Delthil's process was described.
He pours equal parts of turpentine and
liquid tar into tin pan or cup and sets
fire to the mixture. A dense resinous
smoke arises, which obscures the air of
the ROOM
"The patient" DR.. Delthil says, "im-
mediately seems to experience relief,
the choking and rattle stop; the patient
falls into slumber and seems to inhale
Cne smOhe Will pleasure. Inc IlDflnOuS
membrane soon becomes detached and
the patient coughs up microbicides.
These, when caught in a glass. may be
seen to dissolve in the smoke. In the
course Of three days afterwards the
patient entirely recovers.' -
DR.. Nichols tried this treatment yes
terday with little Ruth Lockwood She
was lying gasping for breath when he
visited her. First pouring about two
tablespoonfuls of Gquified tar on an
iron pan, he poured as much turpen-
tine over it and set it on fire. The rich
resinous smoke which rose to the cell
ing was by no means unpleasant. AS
it filled the room the child's breathing
became natural, and as the smoke grew
dense she fell asleep.

Raising Thrifty Hogs.

Professor s.. R. Thompson, of the
Nebraska Agricultural college, writes
to the American Agricultural that green
food makes thriftier and larger hogs.
Farmers who raise many pigs, and feed
them exclusively on corn, know that
some of the shotes will cease to grow at
an early age, begin to lay on fat, and
never reach the size of good merchant
able hogs. This tendency to fatten pre-
maturely, at the expense of bone growth
is not seen to any great extent in grass
fed hogs. A pig fed on bulky green
food will develop larger stomach than
one fed on concentrated food like corn
and when you come to fatten it this en-
larged capacity will enable him to eat
and digest more corn, and thus fatten
faster than the other and be more.

Grass-fed hogs are healthier than those
grain fed. Every. intelligent. breeder.
knows the advantagessof feeding green
food to sows about to farrow. They
have less difficulty with their pigs, are
less liable, to destroy them, and give
more milk, and nurse them better.

The Foot and Mouth Disease,

DR.. G. N. Hewitt of Red Wing, MINI. !,
has arrived home from Washington,
where he has made thorough examin-
alton into the cattle disease reported to
exist at this time in this country. He
said there had been but one single out
break of foot and mouth disease in the
United States, and that in Portland,
Me-, from imported stock, and that it
was controlled by the cattle commission
and treasury department; there was
nothing of the kind West, nor had there
been. It could only come through the
East, and that by importation from
abroad. The scare in Kansas was
caused by gangrene in the foot, due
to eating the smut of wild
rye, which, together with unsanitary
conditions, caused much suffering and
loss to certain herds in that state, as
much as three and one-haf ounces of
smut having been found in a single feed.
Pleuro- pneumonia exists in insulated
cases and herds east of the Alleghanies:.
It is in dispute whether all Of it is infec-
tious. It is under observation and con-
troll, and is not likely to come West ex-
cept in calves or other stock brought for
breeding purposes. This danger is get
ting less, by reason of the interest of cat
tie men, which is now thoroughly
aroused. Arrangements are perfected
for prompt notice of any infected cattle
en- route to or through Minnesota. ''-.-

Mr.. Dana's Little Mint.
From the Washington Capital

I learn that Mr.. Dana's income from
that paper is not only princely, but that
it is exceeded only by that of Mr.. Ben
nett. When Mr.. Bennett took hold of
the Sun he made contract with the
trustees to edit the paper at salary of
$1,000 a year. He had then some TWEEN
ty shares in the paper. Said he: "Now
if the profits of the paper are large I
think I ought to-, have an interest in
them outside of my salary, and pro-
pose that all dividends above twenty
five per cent. shall be divided, and that
I have half" The stockholders to whom
adividend OF. twenty five per cent.seemed
not only very large, but very improba-
BILE, said: "Why,- of course, if we de-
declare any dividends over twenty-five
per cent. you shall have one half"
"Will you make contract to that ef-
feet for ten years." said Mr.. Dana. The
stockholders agreed and the contracts
were made.
Within two years the paper paid over
fifty per cent. and for a number Of
years has not paid less than eighty. The
ten year contract expired year or two
ago and it was renewed, with this change,
that Mr.. Dana gets one half of all the
dividends. over forty per cent. I5hear

An Old Time Cider Drinker.

One Of the oldest men in Winthrop,
Me-, is Uncle Bragdon. He is about
70 years of age now, and his occupation
from mill work to hoeing potatoes is,
principally, drinking cider. The story
of his bargin with the widow is probably
the best of many told about him, be-
cause it is true. The widow in ques-
ton had a great pile of wood in her
dooryard, and Uncle Bragdon was hired
to saw and split it. He soon began to
ask for cider and the widow, who had,
like every one else in Winthrop, cellar
full, favored the old mans whim until
he had emptied key or two, and then,
by agreement, she began to charge a
small price per gallon. The wood saw
ing went on, with drink of cider be-
tween every two sticks, and the widow
kept tally. When the job was done the
widow and Uncle Bragdon figured up,
and for fact he had drank so much
cider that he owed the widow $3.50.

The Violet Of Veg etablSoy

From III. Fl. A." in Chicago Tribune.
It may be taken for granted that of
all the favoring substances used in cook
cry, the onion is, after salt, perhaps,
the most valuable, and, as many a house
keeper can give testimony, when cum
ningly concealed in the sauce, or ragout,
or soup it yields enjoyment even to
those who would carefully put it from
them if they saw it, in their adherence
to everything pertaining to the garlic
tribe. There is no doubt that this latter
is most valuable food in hot climate,
especially when eaten raw.
I remsmber reading in book called
"Angola ard the River Congo" that the
author never travelled without supply
of garlic, whose ben fcial effects on the
stomach and system were most marked.
When very hungry and fatigued," he
goes on to say, .oI have found nothing
equal to.sfew pieces of raw garlic, eaten
with a crust of bread or biscuit, for
producing few minutes after, de-
fghtful sensation Of repose, and that
feeling of.the stomach being ready to
receive food generally absent when ex-
;;cessive emptiness or exhaustion is the
case" Very odd contradictions in re-
gard to this vegetable arise; for ex-
ample Henry of Navarro had his lips
rubbed the moment he was born with
Glove of garlic, time honored custom in
his native place. On the other hand, gar
lie was forbidden by statute of Alonzo
the Eleventh to his knights of La Banda,
and Don Quixote cautious Sancho Panza
to be chary of it. So must honest
Sancho beware Of the garlic which the
king of France had rubbed upon his
infant gums on his entrance into this
world.
To the American taste the pronounced
favor of garlic is insupportable, and
the odor of it, while it has been called
the "violet of vegetables" is anything
but delectable perfume. Still people
have mourned for it; for example, the
Hebrews, in their wanderings toward
the Promised Land, complained to
Moses of the want of the leek and the
garlic, which they informed him they
remembered.

Reporter Murphy, she veteran stem
q the senate, says: Webster
was : very slow talker, and he would
not average over 100 words q minute.
Henry Clay spoke much faster, roll
ing out about 100 words to the minute.
Calhoun was also slow until he became
reused up with. the enthusiasm of his
subject, when his words would flow
more rapidly. The present average of
speaking in the United States senate is
about $50 words per minute, though
there are several speakers who utter
over 200. Among the fastest speakers
at present are Senators Beck, Hawley,
Plumb and Morgan. Beck loads the
list. Senator George of Mississippi is
perhaps the slowest. Some of them are
very careful about their revision, and
others pay no attention to them
after they are once spoken. Senator
Edmunds never revises speech,
but some of the other
senators look the manuscript carefully
over before it goes to the press. One
night I heard John Bell of tennessee
make speech when the president of the
senate, himself and I were the only
ones in the chamber It was long
night session and all the rest of the SEN
ators were loafng either in the cloak
rooms or in the restaurant. Bell never
theless roared out his speech with all
the eloquence and earnestness ola reviv-
alist preacher. The perspiration rolled
down his face, he tore off his collar and
preached away as though $4,000 people
we're listening to him. Yes, there have
been many funny speeches here, but that
was one of the funniest. One of the fast
est speakers of the senate was Mr.. Sar-
gent, our late minister to Berlin. He
could speak for two hours averaging
200 words minute. There was de-
bate here some year ago on the District
of Columbia bonds which lasted about
four hours, and which by actual calcu-
lation averaged between 1872 and 200
words minute.
