A Strange Case

Herald.
DR.. Alexander Y. P. Garnett, who.
by the way, was Surgeon General in
the Confederate service, had one ofthe
strangest cases brought to his atten-
ton that has ever fallen to the lot OF
a practising physician in the capital.
A senator OF the United States actual
ly called to be treated for the swell
head. This is not mere bit OF fun.
The Senator is in condition Dor Ter
ing on rage because Of the character
of the practical joke perpetrated upon
him. AS it is, it would be dangerous.
What appears to distress him most is
that the trick is "a chestnut" and he
resents the lack of invention on the
part OF his tormentors. The Senators
generally hang their hats in the cloak
rooms, but one member of the cham
Der has lately been in the habit Of
placing his tall head-covering on g.
sofa or one of the mantels. He
has not been in Office great
while, and several Of the older
senators have resented the freedom
with which he has deported him
self. Two of them folded up some
paper and placed it under one side of
his hatband. 1t was not detected
Again finding the obnoxious tile in the
same place, they added another roll
OF newspaper, rendering the band
much smaller. Then half a dozen
Southern Senators, who relish good
thing, were let into the secret. They
stopped the Senator who was under
the ban and asked after his health. One
conspirator remarked that he looked
very i'll. Another inquired significant.
ly if he had any predisposition to APP
oplexy. He grew greatly distressed,
and, at the advice Of one of the wicked
jokers, came down from Capitol Hill
and consulted DR.. Garnett After a
careful examination the physician
asked the would-be patient where he
felt badly, and he declared that his
head certainly must have swelled.
Then the doctor, recalling the name
of the person who had sent the new
patient, made an examination of the
hat, That cleared up the mystery
But the Senator is a very wicked man,
for all that.

Breath Catching Fire.

Doctor Beatson in British Medical Jour
nal.
I have thought it right to put on
record the following case, as it seemed
to me to be one OF some rarity and to
have some imDortancefrom a medico-
legal point OF view [ cannot do bet
ter than give the facts in the words OF
the patient himself who communicate
ed them to me by letter. He writes
as follows:
"a rather strange thing happened
month Or SO was troubled very much
with foul quotations. had no pain,
but the smell of the gas which came
from my stomach was disagreeable to
myself and to all who happened to be
in the room. About week ago as !
said, I gotup in the morning and light
ed match to see the time, and when
put the match near my mouth to
blow it out my breath caught fire and
gave a loud crack like the report of a
pistol. / burned my lips and they are
still sore. I got a terrible surprise
and SO did my wife, for the report
awakened her"
From the above occurrence it would
appear that the conditions known as
"halitosis,' or diseased breath, is not
only a, source of misery to the sufferer
and those compelled to associate with
him, but may, under certain circum-
stances, become a condition of dan
ger to the unfortunate possessor Of it..
In the present instance the gaseous re-
suits OF the imperfectly digested food
had their atoms OF carbon and hydro
gen SO arranged as to give rise to the
presence of carbureted hydrogen, the
inaammable and explosive qualities
of which came into play when mixed
with a due proportion OF atmospheric
air in presence OF the unguarded light
of the burning match. may aud
that the patient to whom the accident
happened is most intelligent and OBJ
servant man, and that the diet / pre-.
scribed for the Indigestion from which
he suffers from time to time has alco-
hol excluded from it, and l know that
my instructions in that respect are
acted upon.

To Raise or Buy Cows

Philadelphia Press.
Shall the dairyman raise his COWS
Or buy them ready made? To answer
this question intelligently we must
know something OF his surroundings.
If profitable COWS can be bought under
$50 head at three years of age, it is
very questionable if he can raise them
cheaper. The common argument in
favor of raising instead of buying
COWS, is that the heifer at two, or even
three years of age will not have cost
as much as the first price of the ma
tured COW. There is, however, anoth-
er very serious point to take into
consideration, and that is, how many
heller calves must you raise to the
age OF three years before you get one
that is profitable? This matter is
variously estimated according to the
self-complacency of the man making
the calculation. Some proud mortals
go so far as to claim their ability to
pick out calves that will make
profitable COWS every time. My own
experience, compared with modest
and generally truthful breeders, seems
to point to the requirement OF a bunch
OF five calves, as a rule, to make one
good, frst-class, profitable cow To
be sure, mems minds differ as to what
constitutes a good COW; but let us call
her a seven-pounds-of- butter-a- week
COW, andis there any breeder that will
take the contract to furnish more
than five Of such COWS out of twenty
veheifers raised to three years of age?
This looks as though it could beeasily
done, but suppose you 60 through the
diaries in your neighborhood and find
what proportion OF the ows will make
over 800 lbs. of butter, or 5000 lbs.
OF milk a year. Certainly not one in
five. Will the thoroughbreds of the
country do it? If they were weeded
out as faithfully as the native COWS
are, they would; but as it is fact
that every female is raised, no matter
how inferior her dam, these weeds
keep the thoroughbreds in just about
as bad a condition as the natives, so
far as thepercentage OF extra perform
ers is concerned.

KANSAS CITY STRICKEN.

ASchool Building, the Court House and
Other Building Wrecked by a Remorse-
less Gale-The Death List Reaches
Twenty -four, While the Number of In
jured is Thirty-one.
A storm struck Kansas city last Tues
day and resulted in a terrible loss OF life.
About 1870 a. m. storm clouds began
gathering over the city. They first ap-
peared in the northeast, and surglng west
erly across the city turned suddenly
about in their course, and descending rap.
idly broke upon the city in terrible bursts
OF wind and rain that swept all lighter OBJ
jects before them. The darkness was al
most like night, and the people fled to the
nearest shelter and awaited with blanched
faces the fury OF the tempest.
Over the streets were running. rivers
OF water, carrying boxes, signs, etc.,
blown from the buildings or swept up by
the flood number OF vehicles were over
turned and in numerous instances drivers
abandoned their horses to their fate, and
sought refuge in stores and houses. Some
hail accompanied the storm, but the fall
was not great. Windows in quite num-
Der OF buildings were blown in, and goods
and furniture were water-soaked.
The Lathrop school building occupied a
prominent site at Eighth and Main streets
1t consisted OF a main building to which an
art wing had been added. In the main
Building, the effect was awful. The falling
floors precipitated the terrified children to
the basement, where masses of bricks and
beams crushed them to the ground and
buried them from view.
The following is list OF the killed at the
.schoo'thouse and elsewhere as far as ascer-

Good, Sound Seed.

1t is not a day too early for every
farmer who intends to plant corn this
season, to assure himself that he has
good, sound seed, that will be sure to
terminate. Many corn fields have, of
late years been badly spotted with
vacancies, caused by the failure of a
portion of the seed. Seed should be
Immediately tested, by planting in
shallow boxes, with the earth and air
kept as nearly as possible to what it
will probably be for two or three
weeks after corn planting. If thirty
per cent. fail to terminate, other
samples had better be procured and
tested. The risks OF the crop are nu-
merous enough without planting seed,
q large proportion of which has low
vitality or none at all.

Tho Boy Who Helped Others.

Baby was sick and fretful the
weather was warm and mother Was
busy. Ned took all this into his
thoughts and began to consider how
he could better things. He was pull
ing peas in the garden, but he left his
work and came round to the kitchen
door where the baby was.
Ned was fond Of baby Ben and baby
Ben loved Ned, for babies can tell very
quickly who loves them. He was al
ways stretching out his chubby arms
for Ned to take him. To-day as soon
as the big brother appeared in sight,
there was a cry Of delight.
Benny have rider" said Ned, and
the baby crowed again.
There was no baby carriage. How
often Ned wished they had one, so
that he could ride Benny into the gar
den and up and down the road. But
there was no money to buy baby car
r1ages.
"We'l! have to make the old wheel
barrow do for SPELL said Ned, as
he lifted the little one gently. Ned
was always gentle with the baby.
Then the ride! How it pleased the
baby and pleased mother! She could
now attend to her work. And was
there a third one to be pleased? Yes,
Ned himself; and this third one was
the happiest OF them all. Why? Be-
cause he was doing kindness, and
there is reward which God gives for
every kindness done, if it is ever so
small.
How can God give us reward? Try
it and see. Do all the little kind acts
you can, to every person you can,
whenever you can, and see if you are
not happy.
Ned is the happiest boy I know, be-
cause he is not always thinking about
how he can please himself. He thinks
of others, how he can help and please
them, and the happiness is all the
time bubbling up in his heart and
working out at his finger tips. Phila-
delphia CALL

soil should be rich to promote rapid
growth, and well prepared to facilitate
the termination of the seed. AS the
plants of most varieties. when fully
developed, are a foot or more in
diameter, it is obvious that the rows
should be rather more than foot
apart; eighteen to twenty inches is a
good distance. Sow the seed rather
thinly in the drills, and as soon as the
plants are sufficiently large for use,
commence thinning out the rows; at
first to about two inches apart. When
the bed is passed over in this way, go
over it again, thinning this tine to
four or more inches apart. By fol-
lowing this method, removing each
time every alternate plant, the re-
naming ones rapidly develop, and the
later ones will grow to an immense
size, often a foot or more in diameter.

How to Cultivate Lettuce.
Our Country Home.

Our Country Home.
The secrets of successful lettuce Gull
ture, are early sowing, rich, well-pre-
pared soil, and giving the plants plenty
of room. The seed should be sown
early, because being small, it must be
planted shallow, and hence cannot en-
dure much drouth, and also because
lettuce is a cool-weather plant, and
SO thriyes better in the moist and
mild weather Of spring, than the dry
and hot weather of summer. The

An Extraordinary Proceeding.

The passage of the ordinance which
should be entitled, "An ordinance to
protect the old gas monopoly" was per-
haps one of the most extraordinary par
llamentary proceeding in the annals of
that Industrious body. While the sec
ton requiring penal bond Of $4,000,
conditioned that work be commenced by
January next, and that all the condi.
tions of the ordinance be complied with,
and that this bond be filed within 60
days from the passage of the ordinance,
Oscar BergstrOm, Esq, attorney for the
Peoples Gas company, was permitted to
address the Council. Mr.. BIS remarks
were so convincing and reasonable,
going to show how utterly unjust such a
condition would be, and that it would
serve as an effectual bar to the further
prosecution of the enterprise, that even
ex-Mayor French Endorsed his sugges-
tons and moved to amend the section
making the bond conditioned upon the
saving the city, harmless from damages
by suits, etc. The amendment was
passed with perhaps only one or two
dissenting votes. A little later on, the
City Attorney being dispatched for by
Alderman Lockwood, the same section
was again discussed and without recon-
sidering the action just had, or in any
wise recalling 1t, Alderman Degener,
with the assistance of the City Attorney,
offered as an amendment the substitu-
ton of $4,000 instead of S25, 900 and the
section to stand as it originally read,
and this was also passed. Was this stu
pidity, or what was 1t?
