REroRrs from Madrid, Spain, state
that DR.. Ferran, the discoverer OF the
new system Of cholera incubation. has,
up to the present time, operated on 5000
persons In the Province OF Valencia
alone. Two well known Madrid doctors,
Mcssrs. Moreno and Tolosa, 1t Ia said.
"who went to study DR.. Ferran's discov-
cry, were inoculated by him. -Four hours
afterward they felt all the symptoms Of
cholera, cold cramps, diarrhua, fever,
and delerium, but after 10 hours they
were all right again. They tell of some
striking facts at the Alcira hospital. All
the inmates were inooulated by DR.. Fer.
ran excepting two, who refused to sub
nit TO the operation. Cholera attacked
these two and they died of It, while all
the others we're safe. The same thing
occurred elsewhere. 1t Ia noticeable
that the day before he left Madrid DIR.
Moreno expressed himself us very skep-
teal regarding Dr. Ferran's discovery,
but now he speaks oft very enthusiastic
cally."
ANENr the unusual activity and inter-
est in sanitary matters and the necessary
cleanliness OF premises generally, the
question OF disinfectants is one In which
every householder is Interested. a wri-
ter in the Chicago News gives n number
Of recipes for the purpose, among them
being the following Ms n standard solu-
tion "Dissolve chloride of lime OF the
best quality In soft water, in the proper
tion OF four ounces to the gallon. As
the value OF this solution depends upon
the amount OF chlorine 1t contains, II Ia
essential that the chloride OF lime be
fresh. Such lime may be bought by the
quantity for cents per pound; the cost
of the solution IL, therefore, less than
cents n gallon. 1t Is available for free
and general use In privy vaults, sewers,
sink drains, refuse heaps, stables, and
wherever else the odor Of the disinfect-
ant il not Objectionable. A quart or
more per day may be used in an oil.n-
sive vault, and such quantities as may
be necessary in other places. 1t may be
used In a sprinkler in stables and else
where. In the sck-room 1t may be used
in vessels, cuspidores, etc. Use one pint
Of this solution for the disinfeotion OF
each discharge In cholera, typhoid fever
etc. Mix well and leave In vessel for
at least 10 minutes before throwing into
privy vault or water closet"

His Own Stitches.

Chief-Justice Mansfield said to a
friend, who, having been appointed
Governor OF West India island, COM
planned that he would have to sit as
a judge, "Decide according to your
common-sense, but don't give your
reasons; for have noticed your judg-
ment is generally right, but your rea.
sons are usually wrong" Mr.. Webster
once, in conversation, went further
than Lord Mansfield. He insisted
that witness might give valuable tes-
timony, and yet be unable to support
it by a good reason. In support of
his assertion, he told this anecdote:
In a case Of great Importance, a tail
OR, whose evidence would decide the
verdict, affirmed that he had made
the coat, which had been produced in
court, for the prisoner The priso-
ner's counsel tried to create doubt
as to the identity of the coat, and
asked the tailor how he knew it was
the same coat.
"Why, ! know it by my stitches, OF
course"
care your stitches longer than those
of other tailors?"
ooh, no."
care they shorter?'
s'No, not bit shorter"
Anything peculiar about them?"
II don't believe there is"
Chow dare you, then, swear that
thew are vOnrS2'
The witness was silent for a moment,
and then, throwing up his hands, he
exclaimed
"Mercy on us! AS if I did't know
my own stitchesp'
The jury believed him, and his testi-
mony convicted the prisoner.
Mr.. Webster insisted the jury was
right, and said, ''The fact is, we con
+inually build our judgment upon de-
tails too fine for distinct cognizance.
And these nice shades are trustworthy,
though we can give no good account
of them"

Romance, s, rare IN Abyssinia.
When 8 girl has: reached the age of

cattle or some other desirable proper
ty, a boy, with.half her wealth general
y proposes To her father for her, and
a bargain is driven over her quite as
ifshe had no, more sentiment in hel
taan a cow, which doubtless is otter
the case. The engagement lasts usu
ally three or four months. Though
the groom often sees his prospective
father-in-law, he never lays eyes upor
the bride. unless he can bribe
some female friend to allow him
stolen glance. The bride-to- be may pre-.
vlously have romped with her intend
ed for years, but she would run scream.

tore her. In some parts OF the coun.
try the superstition is rife that any
woman leaving her fathers house be.

riage will be bitten by a snake. AS the
wedding day draws near the girl is
washed-an event so rare as to call
for special note in a pond, where a
certain saints day is celebrated 10,
being the epoch OF the sole annual
ablution OF most of the inhabitants,
and dass Or bower of green branches
over a frame of stakes is erected. In
this; a great feast is given on the day
before the marriage. All the hungry
oilers round about strive by hook OF
by crook to get in, and, squattine
down on the ground, they gorge them
selves with the quivering raw meat Of
the COW that has just been killed and
with other Abyssinian delicacies. The
distinguished guests bless the bride,
putting their hands upon her head and
getting them we'll creased for the pains.
Meanwhile a similar feast is given.
In the groom's abode, and next morn,
ing he starts out with his friends and
from six to twelve arkees, or brides
men. They rig themselves up In all
the plumage they can possibly borrow,
lire off their guns and have sort OF
sham fight with q view, perhaps, to
allay the groom's nervousness. When
the happy man has taken the seat OF
honor in the bridal bower his bride is
brought In, wrapped up in a cloth al
most like a mummy and placed upon
a stool. Then the groom Is asked il
he wishes to marry the woman before
him; they crook their fingers together,
under the cloth, or, perhaps kiss one
another, and, after any priest or elder
present has given some sage advice, the
marriage settlement ofwhat eachis to
bring is finally settled upon, the last
but not the least important part OF
the ceremony. Such arethe civilmar,
riages, lightly entered into and as
lightly broken.

The desire to organize productive cooperative
associations is good, but wiser way of advanc-
ing is at hand, and that is, as heretofore indi
Gated, in the purchase of property where increas-
ing population is most likely to enhance it in
value. Those who thus secure control of land
can beat by ten to one the plodding co-opera-
tionists who some day will want to buy for $40
the land that can to-day be bought for 81. The
fortunes of the future will be made out of land,
the value of which has been artificially enhanced
by incoming population Labor will do well to
take note of this and put up fewer mills and
shops, but write down more titles to cheap
lands

poetess states that the lad was the son of the adj

official account of the incident. The admiral
was Brueys who was wounded in the head and
hand early in the action. He continued to give
orders until cut in two by a cannon bali; he
uttered the request TO be allowed to expire on
deck. which he did in the course of some minutes.
Citoyen Casabianca the father of the poetic
hero, then took command; his son was mildly,
but only aged ten, not thirteen At that period
lads entered the navy very young. Casabianca
was also adeputy. Pending the action, his son
was by his side. The father was MORALLY
wounded in the head by a splinter, and became
insensible. He gave no injunctions to his son,
but the latter would not the less quit his
wounded parent By this time the ship was on
fire. Several of the sailors had left and saved
themselves on spars till picked UP by the En-
glish boats. Aided by the purser, young Casa
