Colonel lvanoff-one of the high Rus

tall and handsome. with fair COM

beard has won him the appellation Of
Sara-Sakal-Tura "The Yellow-bearded
Chief" and the natives of Turkestan
never speak of him nor address him by
any orther name, not even at official
meetings.
Ivanoff has been for twenty years in
active service in Central Asia; and it
would be hard TO find keener observer
of Oriental manners and customs than
he. His extraordinary tact, resolute
character and immense energy, are well
known to the natives; and it is wholly
owing to his renown that, although
having only two battalions of troops
with him, and separated by distance
of six weeks journey from the nearest
Russian fortress. he feels quite at home
in the country of the Amoor-Darya, and
fears no trouble. 80
have known this man since the time
of my first trip to Central Asia; and 1
always found him the same-calm anc
collected, never losing his presence OF
mind in any critical situation. The
following incident affords a good ex-
ample Of this faculty he possesses of
keeping cool and calculating in the
midst of danger. Once, when accom-
panied only by three Cossacks, an in
terpreter and few natives (Djighites)
Ivanoff found himself surrounded and
attacked by band of at least 200
Turkomanss The Russians immediately
grouped themselves close together. back
to back. and opened fire. 1vanoff had
a six-chambered revolver; he fired in
shots, and reserved the sixth, in spNO
of the desperate attack of the enemy.
When reinforcements arrived, when
this handful of Russian troops was
saved. and the General, severely
wounded. had been carried to camp.
somebody ventured TO ask him what he
had reserved that last shot for. '.Why,
for myself. /. replied Ivanoff. very coolly.
Il kept watching to see If the Turko-
mans had lassoes. If had felt the
touch of a lasso, the Turkomans might
have had my corpse, but never living

An Affection which Concerns the Mem-
brane Liuing Most of the Internal Or
gans. 80 -
This word-now so sadly familiar
from the case of our great fellow-citizen.
General GRANTS one of the names of
carcinoma, or cancer. 1t is used be-
cause most cases of cancer are con-
nected with the epithelum-the mem,
hrane which lines most Of the internal
organs and cavities of the body-or
with the epidermis (scarf-skin), which
covers the outer surface and is essen
tally of the same nature.
All our tissues muscles, membranes.
nerves, fat. bones, etc.-are built up
by and consist mainly of cells. These
cells select from the blood, transform
and assimilate the elements essential to
their activity, growth and perpetuation.
They multiply by division. Tumors
result from a morbid multiplication Of
cells.
Benign tmors simply crowd as they
grow by the multiplication of cells :
against the adjacent parts. In malig-
nant tumors the multiplying cells in
filtrate into the adjacent parts. and thus
constantly enlarge their deadly area;
or they are ia ken up by the blood-ves-
sells and lymphatic vessels, particularly
the latter. and borne to distant glands,
where they set up the same deadly
action. ~ fo!
A cancer of whatever kind is always
malignant, though a hard cancer, oil
of which an epithelioma is one, is moi
SO malignant as soft cancer. in which
the cells preponderate over the fibrous
tissue. What is now called a sarcoma.
which was once thought to be cancer,
is benign tumor generally, but may
be malignant. 1t differs from cancer
mainly in having its cells separated
from each other by intervening sub
stance. In tho latter the cells lie
against each other-several hundred OF
them perhaps-in (otherwise) empt,
spaces, or.nests. The microscope alone
distinguishes between the two-the
cancer and the sarcoma.
A cancer may long remain simply q
hard, painless tumor, with its true
character unknown. II it can be cut
out then, it may never recur. This,
therefore. is the time for its extirpation
A cancer due solely to local irritation
is quite likely to be cured wher
operated on early. When due to hered
itary faint, it is more likely to recul
under some new irritation.
The age at which cancers appear il
generally after forty. Hence the occur
renee of a hard tumor, say from forty
five and onward. should awaken atten
ton. But comparatively few tumor
are cancerous.
In cases where extirpation is imprac
ticable. medical treatment may still d.
much for the general health, the relic
of distressing symptoms. and avertine
the progress of organic disease. :

Important that Seed should he OF the First
Quality IL Best Results be Desired.
Good breeders never cease to war;
people no. to breed from grade sires.
This is quite right, but some Of these
forget the same principle when they
come to select seed to be sown for their
farm crops. Breeding for improvement
requires wedding out the defective in
dividuals, so, likewise, and more en-
rhatically, must the poor seed grain be
separated from the good, and not used
, in seeding. Our American farmers are
roften most remarkably careless in this
matter of seed grain; yet if they exam
Inc the question critically, they will see
that it is just as important in principle
that each seed of grain should be as
perfect in organization and vitality as
The sire at the head of the herd. Some
may consider this an extreme illustrs
ton, but it is strictly true. and a very
large class of farmers need forcible IL
INSTRUCTIONS on this question of seed.
On driving past q remarkably even

that the field on which they grew must

writer replied that that might be true.
but the evenness of that field of oats
was the result of the even quality of the
seed. However even the quality of the
land, the crop will not be even unless
the seed has been graded, or is of even
quality. A seed of deficient vitality can
not produce as vigorous a plant as a
plump. heavy, vigorous seed, and these
defective plants viii not make the same
growth rs the vigorous ones. however
good and even the land may be. Good
land will produce better crop from
poor seed than. poor land, but the grain
from the good seed will be six to ten
inches higher. and more vigorous at har-
vest. None but the most even and vigor-
Gus seed should be sown. and this can
always be accomplished by grading
even poor sample of seed. If only
ons-third of the sample is good, this
can be separated from the poor. SO that
il is only the small matter of labor in
yolved. When the best seed is sown
for a few years, there win be no further

"FRozEN FACTS" is a purely American
expression, and one, too, of recent origin.
1t has the merit of attracting attention, and

Aphasia is disturbance of the pewer
of speech. 1t appears in two distinct
forms, viz. amnesic and ataxic aphasia.
The person suffering from amnesic
aphasia forgets su6stantioes and names,
other parts of speech being properly
used; or he forgets language which
he once knew. or he misapplies terms,
.'using pamphlet for camphor, horse
for man, etc. In ataxic aphasia the
power of articulation is completely lost.
The person understands fully the word
to be used, and makes vigorous effort to
use it, but is unable to do so. Some
times articulation is half destroyed. so
that the first part of the word can be
spoken. but not the other. Sometimes
automatic phrases can be uttered. such

that these ordinations do not satisfy
the person. Another form of this
general trouble is agraphia, or the in

able that aphasia is sometimes, though
seldom, unaccompanied by insanity.
As early as 1861 Broca. in Paris, ex-
pressed the opinion that aphasia was
connected with disease in the third

number of cases have been cited for and
