Troy Chief: A belief widely prevails
that most of the worst epidemies among
stock are reported. as long as the
United States had the old-fashioned
hogs, such a thing as hog-eholera was
unknOwni as long as she had the old
fashioned cattle, pleuro-pnuemonia, foot
and mouth diseases, etc, were unheard
Of; as long as she had the old fashioned
horses epizoOtc had not become a
household word; as long as she had the
old fashioned chickens, most of the fatal
poultry epidemics were undreamed of.
But people had to improve their stock
from foreign breeds, The Poland China
hog, the Jersey, Attorney, Ayrshire
and poiled Angus cattle, the MOI man
Percheron and CIydesdale horses, the
Shanghai Brahmas and fifty other kinds
of chickens, were in their turn all the
rage. Everybody was crazy to inn
prove their stock, and thoy improved
disease into it. Tie same wav with
fruits. grains and vegetables. Diseases
come with Improvement, The old kinds
were ali pretty good, in their way and
generation, but ''change'' was want
ed, and disease is the result.

Still it made the tear drops start.

OLIVES that in youths glad morning
Gave promise Of glorious day,
But lured by the willy tempter
Had strayed from the beautiful way.
So often boys leave their home circles
United for manhood's trials.
Then not tin they've tasted the NORWOOD

The Central Branch reports 888
miles of road in Kansas. The traffic on
this road has rapidly and largely IN
creased the past three years. Its tom
age of freight for 1884 was 56,O78, 891
tons hauled one mile. The tonnage
hauled one mile over this line in 1885
was 70 POP, 1O1s showing an increase of
y, 1885, 1O tons. This is the greatest
ratio Of increase in freight tonnage that
can be shown by any railroad in Kan
sas. and the singular part of it is that
the total increase Of freight tonnage on
this road covering 888 miles approx
mates closely to the total Increase on
the Atehison and Union Pacific systems
respectively, though each Of the sys-
TENS named embrace nearly five times
the milage Of the Central Branch

Some people estimates the ability of
a periodical and the talent of its editor
by the quantity of its original matter. It
is comparatively an easy task for a frothy
writer to string out a column of words
upon any and ali subjects. His ideas
may flow in one weak, washy, everlast-
ing food and the command of his Ian
guage may enable him to string them
together like punches of onions, and yet
his paper may be but a meagre and poor
concern. Indeed, the mere writing part
Of editing a newspaper is but a small
portion of the work. The care, the
tune employed in selecting, is far more
important, and the fact of a good editor
is better shown by his selections than
anything else; and that, we know, is
half the battle. But we have said an
editor ought to be estimated by the
general conduct of his paper-its tone
its uniform, CONSTANT course, its aims,
manliness, dignity and prophecy

The Osborne Farmer says: ga terri
bic sequel to the mad dog scare in the
Schumacher neighborhood developed
week before last. A dog belonging to q
Mr.. Schafer was bitten by the supposed
rabid animal at the time it ran amuck
some weeks ago. Schafer's dog was not
killed, as it certainly should have been,
and In the course of time symptoms of
rabies began to appear, During one Of
its paroxysms the dog bit little child
of j. Q. Murner's who lives just across
the road from Schafer. Mr.. NJ. imme-
diately placed the child under the care
Of Mr. Hamacher, a weu-known and
responsible farmer who has what he
claims to be an lnfailable preventative
of hydrophobia. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that under Mr.. Hamacher's
treatment the child will be placed be-
yond danger Of a most horrible death.

New Discovery in Anesthet,cs.

DETROIT, July 8-The experiments of Pro-
fessor Brunter at Underwood Springs, Me-,
were antedated over week in this city by Drs
J. E. Clark, H. e. Wyman, F. q. Cornell and r.
Henderson. They used, instead Of water-gas,
what is known as the Raoul Pictet disinfecting
liquid, which is a Observation-Disclosures acid
gas liquifed at a temperature of 10 degrees.
Their experiments demonstrated that perfect
anaesthesia could be produced instantly by an
application of the liquid, and that it continued
for some time DIR. Cornells finger was sub
jected to a bath in the anaesthetic, when it be-
came ice cold, and no blood oozed from the
wound of a needle thrust to the bone. It was
then cut and dressed slowly, the operation
taking some moments, and the Doctor did not
feel the slightest sensation. Experiments in
dissecting rabbits, treated locally in the same
way. were also conducted. Former experiments
have shown that this liquid instantly kills all
germ life, so that no danger of blood poisoning
can exist in dressing wounds first treated with it.
Physicians here believe that these experiments
promise revolution in surgical methods.
