"Get out of here, you little brat, "

you refer to had evidently smoked a
cigar which had been made by per-
son who was either suffering from or
recovering from case of diphtheria.
The cigar maker probably used his
saliva to moisten the end Of his cigar
and left the germs of disease ready
for infection. In the circumstances
related there Is no doubt in my mind
that the smoker caught the disease
by infection from his cigar. II a
man smokes who has the slightest
abrasion on his lip or fingers he is in
danger of contracting the most de-
testable Of blood diseases. There il
little doubt that Gen. Grant might
have caught his cancer from similar
cause. While this is not certain it ID
by no means unlikely. Another evil

THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

The State Normal school enrolled
Cos pupils in all of the departments
for the year closing June 18th. Fifty
five counties in Kansas. and twelve
states and territories are represented.
The average age of the class of 1885
was nearly twenty-four wears. with
an average teaching experience of
three and one-ihird years. Its gradu-
ates and non-graduatcs are filling inn
portant positions in nearly every
county in the state. Perhaps no bet
ter evidence of the high character of
the work done by them can be found
than this-that lis graduates are re-
ceiying an average of from fifty 10 ono
hundred per cent. higher salaries than
the average given for Kansas teach
crs.
The coming year promises 10 be
even more prosperous than the last.
Those having in view the teachers
profession. should avail themselves of
the liberal facilities the state supplies
in the Normal school. Organization,
curriculum. apparatus, methods. are
all adapted TO meet the wants of
teachers.
The next term opens on September

England and Russia.

Negotiations between England and Russia
have not actually failed, but the calling out
of the British reserves and the war prepara-
tions at the dock yards and arsenals indicate
that the Gladstone ministry believe failure
imminent. The press and people of Eng
land evidently regard war as almost ineVita-
BILE. How the situation is regarded in Rus
sia the telegraph so far has given us little
indication.
Notwithstanding the fact that England
has big job on her hands in Africa there Is
little doubt that she is in much better con-
dition for war than Russia, especially for
. war the seat of which will be in Asia.
Russia has larger standing army than Eng
land, but the resources of the latter are i'm
mensely superior to those of the former.
Russia is one OF the poorest nations in Eu-
rope, while England, all things considered,
is the richest. Besides the English colonies
are all thoroughly loyal and In the event of
war can undoubtedly be depended upon to
contribute largely in men and money. In
war having for its avowed object the integ-
rlty of Afghanlstan the Afghans of course
would side with the British, and their assis
tance is by no means to be despised. They
are an exceedingly brave and warlike people,
tenacious Of their rights aud ready to fight
for them. Besides the proximity of the thea
ire of operations 10 India give the Eng

Two of the best novels now appearing in serial

zine, A Diamond in the Rough, by Alice O'Hanlon,
and sweet Christabel, by Arabella NJ Hopkinson.
Besides these serials this magazine publishes by way
OF fiction in the April number story in three short
chapters, How She Saved Him; Frank de Vaud q
story OF Swiss life; and An Old Maids Friends. Ar
ticles OF more practical nature tell US How Amer
can Bread is Made; OF The Road to the Giants

The Supreme Court Of Ohio has just de-
clared unconstitutional aud void the bill
passed by the Democratic legislature and
signed by Gov. Hoadley, placing the entire
city government, of the city of Coumbus,
under the control Of board of three trus-
tees, who were to make all appointments OF
whatever character. If the act had run the
gauntlet of the court the plan was to ex-
tend it to all the large cities in the State.
The real purpose of the measure was to
place all the election officers and police in
those cities, in the hands OF the Democrats,
SO that Democratic majorities large enough
to overcome the Republican majorities in
the rural districts could be ground out. In
view of the courts performance in regard
to the Scott law last fall, the strangest
thing is that the scheme did not succeed.
