ment to enforce the laws, whether it I'M
settles values or not ); and when laws are
obnoxious, the people who suffer from
them should agitate for their repeal, but
they should not defy them, and if they do,
they should not call it persecution when
they are punished for that defiance.
Yes, the laws can be enforced in Utah,
and should be, if it costs the Govern
ment millions and takes years to
bring about submission to the law. All
that is needed to do this is constant,
never-ceasing endeavor to make the laws
respected, and so often as men violate
law, lust so often they should be pun
ished for SO doing. All who are punished
will not be made martyrs of by the peo-
ple, as they will be too common, for mar
tyrs, like precious jewels, are valuable
chiefly on account of their rarity; make
them too common and they lose their
value. There is another thing essential
to martyrdom, which is, that to be a
genuine, true martyr, the man who seeks
to be one must suffer death. Six months in
Jail is too much like common criminal to
throw around it any halo of glory. There
is no excellence without labor, and so it
NAV be said there is no martyrdom with
out death.

The New Cunarder "Etruria." ;"

The arrival in New York last week
of the Cunard steamer "EtrJ1ria' sug-
gests to the Boston Herald the gradual
revolution that is taking place in marine
architecture. This steamship is about
two-thirds the size of the "Great
Eastern" but the building of her by such
a conservative association as the Cunard
company proves that she is not too large
or expensive for the demands of modern
trade. The difficulty with the "Great
Eastern" was that her size was phenom-
enal, and hence it was impossible to
utilize her to advantage in meeting the
ordinary demands of commerce. The
wharyes and piers were not fitted to re-
ceive her, there were few, if any, docks
in which she could be repaired, and at
the time she was built the transatlantic
trade was not sufficiently voluminous to
supply her with cargoes in making
regular trips; then, too, in 1880,
those improvements in marine steam
engines had not been made which
now enable shipbuilders to utilize the
power of coal and obtain from it large
percentage of its force For these various
reasons the vessel proved fnan-
cial loss to their owners; but one ventures
little in predicting that before the present
century is over there will be quite a num-
Der of steamers as large as, if not larger,
than the "Great EASTERN plying across
the Atlantic ocean, finding all the accom-
modations and freight that they require.
andreturning good profits to their owners.
Indeed, If it were not for the depth of
water In our harbors and the narrowness
OF some OF. the channels, which, however,
may be overcome by engineering skill, it
is probable that vessels would be con-
structed before many years of so large
Size as to make the Great Eastern" ap-
pear small in comparison.

! all the mischief for the time being at
! least, that single newspaper article
! could accomplish. In the natural order
of things the matter worked along to a
point where by thorough investigation as
to the causes of the alleged outbreak, 1t
was found that the infected cattle had
been sold in February of last year at
Virginia, ILL.,, by E. P. Epler. 1t was
| further found that the worst cases among
those infected were purchased at Troy,
! Ohio, and were shipped from Troy to
Virginia in the month of December pre-
vious to the time of the sale at. Virginia,
and further, the cattle while en- route
between these two points were subjected
to terribly severe exposure during very
cold term. Undoubtedly this exposure
brought on an attack of pneumonia,
such as tens of thousands OF
cattle in the country had cr in
previous years; but in this case
the veterinarians rushed hither and
thither among the herds of Jersey cattle
that were reported to be infected, and So
called diseased cattle were quarantined,
slaughtered and buried; rather later in
the season Mr.. Epier saw proper to
slaughter a valuable Jersey heifer be-
longing to his home herd that he thought
showed symptoms Of the disease; in this
case one of the lungs was found to be
greatly swelled and enlarged, the other
lung being in healthy enough condi-
ton, the pleuro was not affected, clear
case of common pneumonia, nothing
more, and which, like all the other cattle
that had been put under the ban from
the Epler herd, had contracted the dis
oo co from ayDOcI1ra Hurinn tho nrpViOuS
winter The excitement in this case all
died out, and as New York paper aptly
put it, the whole matter turned out to be
a screaming farce In just about the
same way, and with Just about as good
ground to stand upon as the same syndi
cate had last year, the whoop has been
raised over the alleged outbreak of
pleuro-pneumonia in Galloway county,
Mo. We should certainly wish at all
times to be able to treat all questions of
general public interest in a soberly, re-
spectful way, but there has from first to
last been SO much of the screaming farce
principle involved in the foot and mouth
and pleuro-pneumonia racket that has
been kept up in the country for the past
three or four years with so many utterly
groundless and false stories set ahoat in
connection with the different phases of
the agitation that has been kept up, that
We now find it impossible to put any faith
in any of the reports or movements that
come from any of the parties that have
become agitators either as blowers or
strikers, or as engineers in originating
and keeping up all the mischievous ex-
citement that we have seen during the
time we have named -9"s ast ri

The dust from the world is often far
from harmless, and sometimes contains
germs Of dangerous diseases. With
proyident care, nature, with the evil,
has provided n remedy, for wherever
substances are found likely TO be harm
full, a means Of disposing Of them to the
best advantage is found. Decaying
vegetation has its influence for evil in
large part removed by the heat Of the
sun and the drying Of the wind.
Dead animals, in almost every part
of the world, are disposed of by other
animals which use them as food. So
highly appreciated are the services of
some of these animal %scavengers that in
some countries it is unlawful to kill n
dog, while in many the vultures are
carefully protected as the most valuable
conservators Of tho public health.
Beetles, worms and other creatures do
their share, and by their united efforts
in tropical countries the decaying car
cass Of n dead animal is seldom left
long to poison the air, but disappears
in a few hours. Among the most valu-
able scayongers arc the ants.

that a lawyer who is ready to accept pub

Midland Medical alsceIlany.i
Medicines that are irritating should
DO given after meals, when the stomach
is full, viz, the salts of copper, zinc.
iron and arsenic in large doses. Small
doses, intended to act on the stomach
terminals of the vagi, must be given
when the organ is empty. Chemical
reasons also have their influence, thus,
oxide and nitrate of silver, intended for
local action. should appear in the
stomach during it's rerioi of inactivity,
lest. at other times, chemical reactions
destroy the special attributes for which
these remedies are prescribed.
loiine and the iodides further illus
lrate this point. Given on an empty
stomach, they promptly dinuse into the
blood, but If c'gesti0n is going on the
acids and starch form products o. ia
ferior activity, and thus the purpose
which they are intended to subserye is
defeated. Substances prescribed to
have alvine action on the mucous mem
brane, or for prompt diffusion unal-
tered. are preferably given before
meals. The condition of the stomach
veins after meals is such as to lessen the
a tiyity of diffusion Of poisons and him
der their passage through the liver. 1t
follows that active indictments in
doses near the danger-line are more
safely administered after meals.
When shall acids and alkalies be
given. before or after mealsl First, as
to acids When acids are prescribed
with tho view TO check the excessive
formation of the acids of the gastric
juice they may be given before meals
rs. 10y the laws Of osmosis, they will de-
termine the glandular flow of the aka
line constituents of the blood. The same
reasoning would hold good if the aka
line condition Of the blood is in excess;
osmosis being favored, the acid would
reach the blood the more readily.
Second, as to alkalies. These may be
given Just before meals, when the acid
forming materials in the blood diffuse
into the stomach glands, and after di-
gestion is completed, when the alkalies
diifnse directly into the blood, without
interference from the contents of the
stomach An alkali taken during the
time when the reaction of the stomach
juices should be strongly acid must
necessarily hinder, if not arrest, the di-
gestiye process for the time being. The
metallic substantially corrosive sub
Innate, alcohol, tannin and some other
agents-impair or destroy the ferment,
or digestive power. pepsin.
Wine that is intended to act as food
is most beneficial when taken slowly
during the course of the meal. The OBJ
lection as regards the i'll effect of alcohol
on pepsin is not applicable here except
TO the stronger spirituous wines in large
quantities, for the ordinary medicinal
wines do not have sufficient alcoholic
strength to iniure this ferment. Iron,
p~hosphates, cod livero oil, malt and SINH
lar agents should, as arule, go with food
through the digestive process, and with
the products of digestion enter the
