Mountain Air.

One of the best qualities of mountain
air. that which makes il so delightful
to the weary denizens of the plains, is
its freshness. and the higher they go
the fresher they find it. Swiss savants
have ascertained, by many observations
made at suudry Alpine stations, that
for every one hundred and forty-three
metres of altitude the summer tempera-
ture Of their mountains dimiuishes one
degree centigrade. The two great adj
vantages OF a mountain climate are the
freshness of the air and the intensity of
the suns action. The second of these
influences as touching the human or
ganism is no less important than the
first, for the solar radiation penetrates
our clothing. comes in contact with the
skin, and acts on the blood. A few
weeks stay at height of three thous-
and or four thousand feet above the
sea-lcvel brings back color to the pal
! lid face and dyes the cheeks healthy
brown But young women, sometimes
even young men, instead OF exposing
! their countenances to the healthful ac-
tion of the light, shade their faces with
/ hats and cover them with wells, as IL
/ the complexion most to be desired is of
/ that delicate and unwholesome tint
which comes of late hours and indoor
I life. Where can you find handsomer
men than the ruddy-faced, dark-eyed
/ Urner Strass jmaDn. who, in the days
/ before the big tunnel, used to keep the
St. Gothard road free from snow, and
spent their lives at an elevation of from
! i've thousand 20 seven thousand feet
above the sea Their compilations
were finer than that of any fashionable
beauty who ever reigned in a ballroom
or shone at court Another peculiar
ity of mountain air is the relatively lit
tie moisture which it contains As we
90 higher the humidity diminishes in a
ratio more rapid than the pressure of
the atmosphere. When we reach an
altitude of six thousand five hundred
feet we have below US one-half of the
total amount of yapor our atmosphere

If Oxford, Why Not Jackson ?

thoughtful gentleman remarked a
few days ago that he could see no con
sistency in the Legislatures passing a
special act forbi1ding saloons at Oxford
Starkville and Wesson and neglecting
thus 10 relieve other towas The fact
that there are institutions of learning at
the former places and a factory at the
latter place, which viii bring a great
many young persons together, does not
explain away the inconsistency. There
are probably rs many youths of both
sexes in Jackson, as are at either of the
other places. Why is it that the same
number Of children in one locality are
not as much entitled to protection as in
auotherg Is not the jackson boy as
. liable TO be injured by exposure to a
saloon as he passes along TO his school,
as the Oxford boy, and has he not Just
rs great claim for protection upon the
Legislature? TIE Legislature is sup
posed to treat all alike; it is well known
that what is called 'class legislation" is
Objectionable, because it savors of parti-
ality towards the favored class.
We bring no charge against these
towns which are thus distinguished
above their fellows; ON the contrary we
congratulate them that the Legislature
has shown such commendable desire
to protect their youtn. But while favors
are being dispensed it is very natural
that the neglected should feel somewhat
slighted. An anxious parent, who hap
pens to live in a town where saloons are
not forbidden by law, but where, on the
contrary they are sanctioned and made
respectable, might with great propriety
ask, why does not the Legislature have
the well-being of my boy in view? If,
as their legislation very clearly proves,
they regard licensed liquor-selling to be
hurtful TO the young in one locality,
how can it be reconciled to fairness or
philanthropy, to let the wild beast loose
in other communities to prey upon the
unprotected and the unsuspecting? If
it is evil in one town or city, it is evil in
all towns and cities: if the Legislature
in its sovereign capacity can forbid it in
one locality, let the friends of humanity
never cease working until all localities
are thus favored.

PLEURo PNEUMoNIA.-No more cattle have
died of pleura-pneumonia on Mr.. VIM. Davi.
sons farm, and there are no signs of the disease
spreading. Last Friday DR.. Robert Ward, the
State Veterinary Inspector, visited Mr.. Davis.
sons place and found six animals infected.
They are closely confined in secluded place on
the farm and will probably be killed. On the
same day Messrs A. M. Fulford and James NJ.
Cain appraised them, in compliance with law,
estimating their value, in their present condi-
ton, at $40. If they are slaughtered by order
of DR.. Ward, that amount will be paid to Mr..
Dawson.
The disease, Mr.. Dawson says, begins with
cough; the animal manfests disposition to
segregate itself from the rest of the herd; the
ears droop; the coat becomes staring and loss
ofappetite ensues. No limit of time can be
fixed to the duration of the disease. One of MIR.
Davison's cows lived 9 or 10 days after the
symptoms of disease were first noticed.
The law under which DR.. Ward is acting was
passed by the Legislature of 1884.
1t provides for the appointment by the Gov
ernor of a veterinary inspector, at a salary of
81, 900 year and travelling expenses.
The veterinary inspector has authority to take
any measures he may see proper to prevent the
spread of infectious or contagious diseases, by
ordering places where infected animals are
found to be quarantined and to order the de-
struction of such animals. He is also authorz-
ed to order the destruction of any buildings
which can not be properly dsinfected, first hav-
ing them appraised, the amount of appraise-
ment to be paid to the owner by warrant of the
Comptroller.
The penalty for selling or exposing an animal
known to be infected or which has been exposed
to contagion within 80 days is fine of not less
than $50 nor more than 500 for each animal Of
fered for sale or driven over any road or through
any street in any city or town in the State,
without the consent of the inspector or assis-
tant.
The veterinary inspector may cause any dis
eased animal or animals to be slaughtered, the
value of such animal or animals to be apprais-
ed in their then condition, by two sworn ap-
praisers, one to be appointed by the owner of
the stock and the other by the veterinary in
spector. The Comptroller is directed to issue
his warrant on the treasurer of the State for the
amount of the appraisement. If the owner is
dissatisfied with the appraisement he has the
right of appeal to court.
