The initial number of the IIender.

The initial number of the IIender-
son Daily Journal appeared Tuesday.
1t is six-column folio. 1t has about
one column of cable news, and five
columns of Geographic dispatches on
the first page. The local page is
taken up mostly with advertisements,
while the inside is ready print.
There is an absence of editorial rat
ter which will probably not charac-
terize subsequent numbers. The pa

A Roy and an Easlc.

A Xenia, Ohio, letter to the Louis
vile C0urier-Journal. says:
An exciting and novel battle took
place in one of the pasture fields at the
Soldiers Orphans home recently.
Wallace Mead. a l5-year-old boy, had
gone out to look for some cattle, when
he was attacked by large eagle.
When the boy first saw the eagle it
was perched in a tree, aud he started
on run for the institution. ] he bird
of freedom gave chase and soon over
took the youngsser 1t buried its tai
ons in the i,cshv part of his leg. but the
boy was able to shake his assailant of.
1t then jumped upon the little fellow
and bit him severely upon the arm.
The 10Y then commenced to fight the
eagle. and went at the noble bird in
true pugilistic style with his bare fists.
He soon succeeded in getting a good
hold upon the eagles neck, and soon
choked and crushed it to death. The
bov was exhausted after the conflict.
and had to be taken to the hospital,
where it was found he had received
MANY scratches and bites. The body
of the eagle. which measured four feet
from tip to tip. will be turned over to
the taXider ist and preserved for the
little fellow Is 4 mementO of his heroic
battle. This is the first eagle captured
in Green county for many Years.

Management of Diphtheria.

There are many cases to which at
first skilled physician cannot say
positively whether ii is contagious
diphtheria or a imple non-speciiic in
fiammation with which he has to deal,
and this uncertainty may continue for
a considerable time. If DIR. Jacobs
views are correct. and he is certainly
very high authority on this subject.
diphtheria may exist, especially in the
adult, in a chronic form. not greatly
disturbing the health, or at all events
not preventing the person so affected
from going about and performing his
or her usual duties, and yet making
the secretions from such person capa-
BILE of conveying the disease.
The precautions to be taken in the
management of well-marked case
are, or should be. generally known;
they have been published as health
circulars by many health boards, and
through the secular and medical press.
and may be summed up as follows:
Isolate the patient in an airy room.
having the least possible amount of
furniture. especially that which is up
holstered. and having no carpet or cur
tains. Disinfect all eNcrctions and Sc
cretions. and especially those from I he
throat. nose and mouth, and all articles
soiled by them, promptly, while they
are yet moist, and thoroughly. Use
clean, soft rags for receiving the dis
charge from the nose and mouth. and
burn them as soon as soiled. If other
articles are soiled use solutions of chic
ride of zinc, or bi-chloride of mercury,
under the instructions of the physician.
Be especially careful as regards toys.
pencils. or other articles which may be
given the child for its amusement. OF
the articles used in giving it food or
drink, and of the remnants OF such
food or drink. Everything that has
touched the patients lips, is very dam
gerous.
When convalescence has set in, do
not Weld too soon to the opportunities
of the patient to be allowed to see his
friends or to 90 out, nor to your own
feelings of WEAKNESS at the long-con-
tinued confinement. Above all things,
do not. under the excuse OF giving
change of air and scene, send him off
to some other place to complete his re-
covery: you might send dynamite
about the country with scarcely more
risk. Do not send the child back to
school in less than six weeks after the
attack; about two weeks after you are
satisfied that he is entirely well, is a
very good rule.
If the little life is not strong enough
to withstand the attack, and is cut
short, do not, in your grief, forget the
danger to other lives which the house
and its contents may yet cause. Do not
allow sympathizing friends and play
mates to enter; do not have any funer-
al ceremonies in the house; treat the
sick-room and its contents as being
dangerously infected.
In mild and doubtful cases, follow
the plan as above indicated as nearly
rs YOU can, and be sure that all YOUR
care and patience will be needed if you
wish to obtain security for other mem
bers of the family and for friends
