YELLOW FEVER.
Valuable Experiments on the Inocula'
bility of This Terrible Disease.

Valuable Experiments on the Inocula
bility of This Terrible Disease.
DIR. Carlos Finlay, of Havana, has
published the results of several expert
ments he has made on the inoculability
of yellow fever. He performed the
operation, or rather got it performed
for him by mosquitoes, which he caused
first to sting a patient suffering from
yellow fever and shortly afterward .
healthy person who was to be with his
own consent of course) the subject OF
the experiment. He found that the dis.
ease was only inoculable from the third
to the sixth day. When two mosquitoes
were employed, so that double dose
was given, the symptoms of the expert.
mental disease were somewhat more
severe than when only a single mos.
quito was used. OF eleven cases of in
oculaton, six were efiicacious, one
doubtful and four negative. The period
of incubation varied from five to four.
teen days; the symptoms consisted Of
headache, pyrexia, injection, with
sometimes an icteric tint of the con.
iunctiva, and in some cases albuminuria
The fever lasted, as in the ordinary
form, from five to twenty-one days
The author believes that this method o.
producing artificial yellow fever will
ultimately be found very valuable as q
prophylactic against the natural anC
dangerous form of the disease.-Londof

EFFECTS or PRAISE.
1t Either Makes Good Man Better or a
Bad Man Worse.

Bad Man Worse.
Praise neither makes man better
nor worse, and praise either makes a
man worse or better That is a double
paradox, but it has very practical
bearing upon the conduct of life. Every
action has its own moral quality; and
neither praise nor blame will change
the moral quality of that act from what
it really is. In that sense, no man is
made worse or better by praise. But
man is living and moving being; and
praise of right action to-day may
stimulate him to higher achievement
tomorrow, as praise of base action
may tempt him to plunge into still
lower depths of infamy. In this sense,
praise makes II man worse or better.
The moral is two-fold. Remember that
your own responsibility for every act is
Independent of human praise or blame;
and remember, also, your responsibility
for the moral effect upon others of your
praise or blame of their deeds.--S. S.
Times.

Frank Boiling, of Cherokee. Kan,

Frank Boiling, of Cherokee, Kan,
threw himself on feather bed that lay
on the floor during a thunder storm.
He neglected to draw up his legs, and
his feet were touching the floor, when
the lightning struck the house and
played about his feet, burning them
and knocking him senseless. That
part of his body that was on the bed
was not hurt, and a child lying by his
side was uninjured. All of which may
be used to show that feather beds are
good places of refuge in thunder storms.

TO OUR COUNTRY pArRoxs.

For the benefit of our country sub
scribers who may sometime have some.
thing to sell or to "swap," we have
decided to devote as much space as
may be necessary each week to pub
fishing "free, gratis, for nothing"
any notices that may be handed US to
facilitate such exchange. The notices
will be printed in small type under the
general heading "For Sale or Trade"
and must not exceed five lines. The
notices should read something like
this: ~. B. Hines, living ; miles east
of lola, has q spring wagon that he
would like to trade for q cow and calf"
Such notices will be published once
free Of charge for any one who is sub
scriber to the REGISTER, excluding, of
course, those who are engaged in the
mercantile business. We hope our
country subscribers will feel them
selves perfectly free toavail themselves
of this offer. 1t Is made, not because
we consider them!.objects of charity, but
because we want the paper. to be made
as valuable as possible to them 30 that
it may be more valuable to ourself. We
should be glad to start out next week
with half q column of such notices,
Send them in.

The REGISTER wishes to warn its
readers of the danger of drinking im-
pure water. A long dry spell is US
ually considered detrimental to health,
but the only reason it is 30 is because
the water for drinking purposes may
become stagnant and impure. TOmeet
the danger from this source it is agreed
by all scientific men that the best plan
is to thoroughly boil the water before
drinking it. The germs of disease that
may exist in it are destroyed by the
heat and the water thus made harmless.
1t is always better to be on the safe
side and if there is the slightest sus-
pici0n of impurity about the water the
precautiOn above suggested should be
resorted to.
The following remarks from the Gar
nett Eagle, might apply with equal
force to lola. We therefore quote them
with the admonition that they be earn
estly p0ndered by those most interest
ed;
'There are right here in this fair little city
OF Garnet, a class of bachelor, old and young,
who deserve the everlastings condemnation Of
all enlightened people Although the IN majority
to commit matrimOny in the first degree:
Everybody knows that Garnett is possessed of
rs many and as pretty unmarried girls as any
town Of its size between San Francisco and
SOudan and still, in the face Of this fact, the
bachelors decline the opportunity to become
husbandsa fathers. The girls can't marry
each other and what are they to do? Our advice
to. the bachelors Is to marry and quit lying and
one day possibly, they will be great like George
Washington and have 1t said OF them-hret in
war, first in peace and first to the dinner table.
A. H. Knox has been keeping the
Leaguers aud the sheriffs busy the past
few days. We spoke last week of his
getting a temporary injunction to pre-
vent some of them from going on his
land. A day or two after that he had
several of them arrested for unlawful
assembly, and two of them, Frank
Schonic and Lee Anderson, being una
BILE to give bail are in Jail pending
their preliminary trial. Yesterday, M.
G. Sears was brought In charged with
cutting down Mr.. Knox's hedge, the
trial not being concluded as we go to
press. We understand that the iDjunc-
ton granted last week has already
been violated, and Mr.. Knox will have
the offenders punished for contempt of
court. Mr.. Knox seems to have q long,
sharp stick, and we are much pleased
at the disposition he manifests to use it.
