PARTED.


The silver brooks will miss thee,
The breeze that used to kiss thee,
And ruffie with a soft caress thy sunny cufls
of sunny hair;
When the early dewdrops glisten
On the roses. they will listen
For thy step upon the garden walk, thy
laughter in the air.
The meadows gay with flowers,
The summers leafy bowers,
Will know thy joyous smile no more; the
woodlands stand forlorn:
hear the soft complaining
OF birds, from mirth refraininR.
Thst greeted with carols sweet thy waking
every morn.
Poor mother! hush thy weeping
Above thy darling sleeping,
Nor fret with augbt of early grief the still
ness where he lies.
Flowers in his little fingers.
Where the rosy flush still fingers.
For the angels are his playmates on the plains
OF Paradise.

A Few Words in Defense Of . Much-Abused

A great deal of cheap and silly wit
has been loaded upon that stock subject,
the nother-in-law. The stock in trade
of the average newspaper humorist or
''funny man"-exceedingly funny he
isis the abuse of this person, a refer
ence to spring poetry, the size of the
Chicago girls feet, the Colonies of Ken
lucky, the talkativeness of the barber
and the like. If this is American wit
and humor, by all means let us be as
stOlid as the German, or as obtuse to
the ludicrous as the English. Happily
there is pure and healthy American
humor of no kinship to this vile stuff.
The sole foundation for this SANDER

some mothers-in-law and some daugh-
ters-in-law can not live together in
peace in the same family. 1t may be

her who are fit subjects for imposition.

paragraphs about mothers-in-law were

CommOn-Sense Remedies for Their Various
Affections.
Milk fever in ewes is not very COM
mon. The first symptoms are weakness,
dullness. unsteady gait. loss of appetite
and twitching of the ears and hind
legs. This is more common in highly
fed and plethoric animals of all kinds.
The time of attack is usually few days
before weaving time. Give the follow
ing, after separating the eve from the
flock: Nitrate of potash, one dram;
sulphate of magnesia, three ounces;
molasses. three ounces. This may be
given in warm linseed Cruel. This will
open the bowels, or if it should not, in
about ten hours repeat the dose. When
the bowels have been evacuated give
twice day the above dose, with the ex-
ception of the sulphate of magnesia, as
long as the fever continues. After the
fever has subsidized give nourishing foods
of the bone and muscle-forming variety
and tOnics, such as the charcoal pow.
ders.
Garget in ewes may be known by tho
swelling and heat of the udder. 1t is
usually more or less sensitive and some
times exceedingly SO. Sometimes black
spots appear on the udder, which break
and make very stubborn sores. SILVER
ing and lameness are sometimes pres
ent. FOment the udder. and give in
ternally the following: Oil of turpen-
tine, half ounce; sulphatc of magnesia.
four ounces: powdered ginger, one
ounce. Put the lamb to the teat as
soon as possible.
Rheumatism sometimes attacks
lambs. The limbs of some of them be-
come stiff. causing a difficulty and
awkwardness in motion. There are
cramps in the neck, and the animal
manifests an inclination to remain
quiet and listless. The bowels soon
become constipated. Give the follow
ing at the commencement of the dis
ease: Powdered sulphuretted anti
mony, five parts, and fresh butter one
part. Mix, and then administer guam
tity the size of hazel nut three times a
day.
If lambs are troubled with constipa-
ton give spoonful of castor oil, as we
have recommended for sheep. After
this give tonic every day such as this:
Golden sulphur of antimony, half dram;
common salt, one dram. In addition
to the remedies that we have given for
diarrhoea, the following will be con-
venient and useful to give as food to
lambs suffering with that disease:
White of egg, one part; water, six
parts. These are beaten together and
given Western Rural.

he slowly pulled off . well-worn boot
and gazed reflectively into its capacious
depths.
Morning dawned clear and brilliant,
and they had hardly finished comment
ing upon the severity of the last nights
storm, as they gathered around the
breakfast table, when a man came
brcathlessly up the walk and called
Farmer Holt out of the room. A few
hurried words, a sharp exclamation, and
then the sound of retreating steps, and
the farmer came back into the sunny
breakfast-room with q face grown
strangely white beneath its coat of tan.
They all knew soon enough. Out in the
morning sunlight, with his dead face
up-turned to the decp-tinted sky, they
had found Fred Foster. Horse, and
rider, and kingly oak lay prone, stricken
by the same death-dealing bolt.
There was q bitterness harder to bear
than death Janey found in the days that
followed. Ada was able to take q GER
tain sad satisfaction in the fit of her
mourning and the astonishing manner
in which it brought out the peachy tints
of her delicate complexion. There was
also mOurnful kind of consolation in
rejecting that she was the center of in
terest in the village and all the country
round, as well as in dilating upon Fred s
manifold perfections, and the fine estab-
lishment she would have had, to Fred s
friend, George Marshall, who was very
kind and sympathetic-so much 80, in
fact. that Ada began to feel that her be-
reavement had greatly increased her
natural attractiveness and placed her
almost on par with fascinating young
widows.
But my Janey! She had not even the
consolation of new mourning to dis
tract her mind from grief that was all
thessmore poignant from being, perforce,
a silent one. Over and over again she
said to herself: ''lt was me he loved
not her." and felt a bitter, contemptuous
resentment against George and Ada as
they talked in tender undertones out on
the vine-covered porch or paced in
pleasant melancholy the long grass
grown path down which Fred had gall
loped that fatal night. Jany's eyes
had grown preternaturally sharp, and
when. after perfectly proper interval,
of course, another engagement-ring
sparkled on Ada's plump finger. no ons
was less surprised than she.
The years went on, and Ada changed
from a plump, pretty maiden to an
equally plump, if not equally pretty,
and her early love story, with
its sad ending, became akin to a half
tradition in the village, and
was only occasionally alluded to by her
as ada Hollis disap-
pointment. Perhaps their romantic
young daughters may have felt a little
secret disgust that she showed SO little
sign of its passing-but what would
you? People can not mourn forever.
So we grew old together-Janey and

the hair is withdrawn. If the irritating
object can not be seen, raise the lid of

the loop as far as you can, close the eye

which caused the pain will be sure to

HYDRoPHoBIA CURES
Tho Theory Of Pasteur and the Older
Treatment of DIR. Buisson.

Treatment of DIR. Buisson.
The brilliant and worldwide reputa-
ton of the French scientist whose in
vestigations in the direction of this fatal
scourge are upon every tongue would
naturally insure prompt and universal
attention to any method he should pro-
pose for its alienation. 1t might even
inspire his patients with faith which
might operate with considerable efficacy
to restore them, apart from NJ. Pastcur's
inoculative experiment in bringing
about this happy result. The success
with which NJ. Pasteur has grappled
with the most abstruce scientific prob
lens in the past may reasonably be ex-
pected to shed luster over his present
achievements which may not Withstand
the influence of time and the test Of
future opinion.
All of which goes to establish the
statement that while all Difference should
be shown to the opinions of the famous
sarant, it is both just and expedient
that the investigations of more obscure
Individuals should receive due respect
and attention.
Amid the heterogeneous mass of
theory brought to the surface by the re-
cent agitation, the treatise of one DIR.
Buisson has attracted favorable COM
ment in many quarters, and is held by
some to present features distinctly more
reasonable and acceptable than are
possessed by Pasteur's dramatic cure.
H.. PnssSa,, f4s,,,,o in, flsS froo t;co So,,,
fifty years old, that he was himself
cured of hydrophooia by the treatment
prescribed, and that after
ward, by the same means, he OBJ
tanned the complete cure of nearly a
hundred people who had been bitten by
rabid dogs. DIR. Buisson's method clears
the blood of the morbid principle which
engenders the rabid state by producing
profuse perspiration by the usual means
-vapor baths, compulsory exercise, etc.
He claims in its support, rs well as the
successful test to which he has put it,
the fact that animals apt to develop
spontaneous madness are the carnivoral
that do not greatly perspire, and that
man. far from being carnivorous by
anatomical structure and physiological
functions, possesses numerous sudOrific
glands capable of reaction, if excited,
against the presence of a deleterious
clement.
Twenty years ago Prof. NJ. Gosselin,
of the Faculty of Paris, confirmed in his
own experience the theory of DR.. Buis-
son, and reported his experiments to the
Faculty. and it is now receiving serious
consideration in scientific circles of
France and England.
Whatever the direct benefit humanity
may derive from this and kindred plans
for the cure of this awful malady, it
should never be forgotten that vast good
is accomplished if they even prove their
own faulty. And every step along the
road to the final victory of science
should be taken with encouragement
and cheer, however obscure the person
who makes the effort Washington
