A Specific for Chick en- Cholera.

tFrom the American Poultry Iournal)
Having discovered what l believe to be an
infallible cure for chicken cholera, l deem
it duty owe my brother fancers to make
it public. My own experiments induce me
to believe it is specific; and have in my
possession testimonials from gentlemen of
the highest intelligence and worth that must
fully justify this conclusion.
Knowing the vastnOss of the poultry in
terest, and the loss inflicted by the terrible
scourge, the discovery Of specific will be
fully appreciated by everyone who owns a
fowl. As it will cost but little to try the
experiment, hope that those who have M
ployed all other remedies in vain will give
this new remedy trial. The discovery was
entirely the result of accident A splendid
cock was almost dead with cholera, and a
dose of st. Jacobs oil was given him, with a
result so marvellous as almost to exceed be-
lief. In ten minutes after taking it very
decided improvement was apparent and
soon he was entirely cured, having been CIV
en- but single dose. Since then the rene.
dy has been thoroughly tested, and always
with the same result-a complete rcstora.

NIGHT SCHOOL,.

The chairman of the Night School Com
mittse of the Board Of Education, DrS. l..
West makes the announcement that night
school will be opened at No. School on
Monday, and that night school for meehan-
ical and free-hand drawing will be opened
at the basement of the Institute Building on
Monday evening November the 9th. Admis-
sion fee will be SO, and apprentices will he
admitted without examination, while all
others will be obliged to pass an examiua-
tion in mechanics.
Experience has shown that those who
have received tuition at night schools have
gained as much practical advantage as those
who attend the regular day schools. Night
students are always of different class
from those who attend during the day. As
a rule the former are volunteer students,
young men and women who perceive the ad-
vantage of education. In this fact alone
they demonstrate their own worthiness, and
the judiciousness of the expenditure of
public money in their behalf These young
men and women form that class among our
people who deserve the greatest possible
discrimination in their favor. Money ex-
pended upon helping them in their intelli-
gent efforts to help themselves could be laid
out in no more praisworthy direction.
These young people will, in the future, be
our leading mechanics and business people
Nothing can obstruct their success in life
They have set out manfully, taking the helm
in their own hands, with the intelligent pre-,
science that their future depends upon them
selves alone.
1t is pity when considering these facts

small fee of 81 or 49, should be allowed to

VARIOUS SUGGESTIONS OF VARIOUS PEOPLE
CONCERNING THE RETURN OF SPIRITS.
From the Contemporary Review.
The favorite beat" of the ghost is usually
the spot where he died. Hence, in order to keep
him at least from the house, the Kaffirs carry q
sick man out into the open air to die and the
Maoris used to, remove the sick into sheds. II
katfir or a Maori died before he could be car
ried out the house was tabOoed and deserted.
There are traces in Greece, Rome and China of
this custom of carrying dying persons into the
open air.
But in case the ghost should, despite of all
precautions make his way back from the grave,
steps were taken to barricade the house against
him. Thus, in some parts of Russia and East
Prussia. an axe or a lock is laid ON thethreshold
or a knife Is hung over the door, and in Ger
many as soon as the coffin is carried out of the
house all the doors and windows are shut
whereas, so long as the body is still in the
house. the windows land sometimes the dOors)
are left constantly open to allow the soul to
escape. In some parts of England every holt
and lock in the house is unfaStened so that the
ghost OF the dying man may fly freely away
But If primitive man knew how to bully, he
also knew how to Outwit the ghost. For ex-
ample, ghost can only find his way back to
the house by the way by which he LEFT IT, This
little weakness did not escape the vigilance of
our ancestors and they took their measures
accordingly. The coffin was carried out of the
house, not by the door, but by hole made in
the wall, and this hole was carefully stOpped
up soon the body had been PASSED
through IL. SO that when the ghost strOlled
quietly back from the grave, he found to his
surprise that there was no thOrOughfare The
credit of this ingenious device is shared eouaiIv
by Greenlanders, HottentOts, Bechuanas, SAM
oieds, Ojibways, Algonkins, Laosians, Hindoos,
Tibetans, Samese, Chinese and Fijians These
special openings, or doors of the dead" are
still to be seen in a village near Amsterdam
and they were common in some towns of cen.
trail Italy, as Perugia and Assist. A trace of
the same custom survives In Thuringen where
| it is thought that the ghost of man who has
been hanged will return to house If the BODY
| be not taken out by the window instead of the
| door.
The Siamese, not content with carrying the
| dead man out by q special opening, endeavOr
| TO make assurance dOubly sure by hurrying
him three times round the house at full speed
a proceeding well calculated to bewilder the
poor soul in the coffin. The Araucanians
| adopt the plan Of strewing ashes behind the
coffin as 1t Is being borne to the grave in order
| that the ghost may not be able to ind his way
