Suppose every farmer concluded that

with contagious disease, what would
he do first to prevent his own from
catching the contagionP viii the reader
stop Just there before reading further,
and ask himself that question and an
swer itP 1t can be answered.; it must be
both answered and acted upon sooner or
later if we would save our stock from
disease and death. We have talked and
talked; VIC have written and rewritten;
we have doctored and dosed; we have
tried tn S mans remedy, and that mans,
too, and our own into the bargain, what
has it all amounted to? We have hog
cholera yet; we have much and more OF
it, and the longer it exists the more we
have of it. Have we acted the part of
sensible and intelligent men, or the part
of a lot of automatons, knowing moth
ing and acting only as pieces of ma
chinery? We have no hesitancy in say
ing that in the vast majority of cases we
have done nothing but dose and pretend
to doctor much as an automaton would
do its work, and that in q very large
percentage of other cases we have done
but little better than automatons.
Our talking and writing. our dosing
and doctoring have all been futile; time
and labor and money all thrown away
and we are getting deeper into the miro
every month and losing more every
year. Why? Because we do not, will
not take an intelligent view of the situa-
ton and act upon it. This is as the
world goes; men growl and complaint;
they talk among themselves; they de-
bate this matter and that, and it ends in
talk.
If a man knew that Asiatic cholera
was prevalent in his neighborhood and
he wished to save his family from the
contagion, and was determined to do so
if possible, what would he do? He
would take that family away to where
the contagion could not reach them.

A PALACE QUARREL.
why the Youthful Emperor Of China Is
to he Married Soon.

to he Married Soon.
ATientsin respondent writes: Our
native gossip informs us that the late
resignation Of the Empress Dowager
from the regency was on account of in
ternal disputes in the imperial palace.
The story runs thus: Her Imperial
Majesty the Princess Regent had been
wishing for long time to make extern
sve alterations in the imperial gardens
of the Nan Hal, Pal Hal, ETC., so as to
render them suitable for her own inn
perial dwelling, when the time comes
for her to resign her present power and
the scepter she holds to His Imperial
Highness Kuang Hsu. On broaching
the subject to her ministers, they held n
long consultation, and finally reported
that enough money could be found to
repair the gardens in question, but that
to alter them according to her majestys
design was impossible, owing to the
want of means for collecting the funds
necessary for carrying out the work.
The repairs alone, they computed,
would cost over 1000, 900 taels of sycee.
Her Majesty had, officially, nothing to
say against this; for, when she tried to
persist in her demands, the ministers
gravely represented the impovcr-
ished state of the country, the pow
erty of the people already groan-
ing under overtaxation, and the
lavish expenditure of the state
revenues during the last twenty years
for foreign wars in putting down in
ternal rebellion and in assisting suffer-
ing people from the miseries of floods
and famines, etc. Although her Majesty
did not persist, she still felt very sore
about the subject all the time, as it IS
her pet wish to adorn and rebuild these
pleasure gardens for her residence dur
ing the rest of her life, when she shall
have given up public business and the
cares of state to resign herself to ease
and pleasure alone. The crowning dis
appointment she lately had, hover, was
the refusal of the young Emperor to
give her the use of some apartments in
the palace of which the Emperor was in
possession, and which the Emperess de-
sired to occupy. This final stroke was
evidently too much for her Majesty to
bear; it is apparent that her imperious
will has been curbed in many respects,
and to have boy of her own adoption
quarrel with her, as it were. in her own
house. made her feel badly indeed, and
she therefore declared she would have
nothing more to do with the regency.
She Immediately issued an edict pro-
claiming that the Emperor was old
enough to assume the direction of the
imperial government, and that it was
her will that he should get married the
next year and control the state for him
self, while she would withdraw from the
regency and all public affairs, with the
responsibility thereon, into the seclu-
sion of private life.-Boston Herald

A PROFITABLE VISION.
Why Every Workng-M Man Should COnver
His Earnings Into a Home.

Why Every Working-Man Should Convert
His Earnings Into a Home.
The man who is working to secure q
small piece of property substitutes a
new and distinct ambition for remote
and vague one. Day dreams about
large estates and prince!y incomes may
be very amusing, but they are not half
SO profitable as vision of lot 100 by
200, with snug little dwelling house
upon it. With this before him, man
will rise early and retire late, turning
his hand cheerfully to any and every
kind of work. He will have motive
for rigorous economy which will make
it pleasure. He will have the vision
of the last payment before him as a
perpetual motive to moderation in pas
sions, economy in expenses, abstinence
from expensive pleasures and from ex-
pensive companions. Thus it will come
to pass that judicious debt, incurred
at the beginning of a journeyman's or
laborer's career, will become his good
genius, watching over him, melting him
TO all industry and to self-government.
Every laboring man ought to own his
house. The first duty of the working
man should be to convert his earnings
into real estate.-Manatacturer and
