TREATMENT OF HOG CHOLERA.

DR.. Salmon and his assistants at the Ag-
ricultural Department are still hard at work
with experiments on hog cholera. The
Doctor recently visited Illinois and secured
a number of specimens of the disease there
and is now engaged in an effort to identify
the western disease with that in this vicin-
ity. When questioned today the Doctor
said that he did not propose to put forth
theories that it would be necessary to take
back. The wild statements of Pasteur to
the effect that all disease could be treated
by innoculation had been shown to be
wrong He said the experiments that are
now going forward in his department are
being carefully made, and he hopes there
will he little to change when theory is put
forth. He says they have aScertained many
things about the bacteria that apparently
cause the disease. Many experiments are
being made in the matter of their propaga-
ton and their habits. The Doctor is conf
dent of ultimate success in mastering the
disease. He simply asks for time TO be
sure he is right

THE DROUTH IN TEXAS.

Governor Ireland has recommended to
the state land board, as a measure of relief
to purchasers of school lands In the dis
tricts affected by the drouth, who may be
unable on account of it to meet their annual
land payments, that the board decline to al
low other persons to bid or refuse to receive
bids for any of the lands for which the
parties may be in default until such unfort-
innate people shall have an opportunity to
reclaim them. His letter concludes as fol
lows: They are willing to take their
chances of relief in future by application
to the sovereign power, and if they fail the
failure would not and could not be
laid at the door of the board. The distrust
thrown around the legislature by the con-
stitution is very unfortunate provision.
Every day in our history demonstrates its
folly, not alone in the matter under con-
sideration, but in many other respects The
one point to be obtained by these people, if
the suggestion now made is adopted, will
be the preference given to them to re-bid
anew, and thus save the Improvements and
labor thus far expended on their homes
OF course they would lose their first pay
ments, but they could afford to do this
rather that lose all y
The land board were already favorably
disposed to such measures of relief, which
will doubtless be adopted at their next meet

From the AtchisOn Champion.
The Kansas farming man does not leave
for Indiana as he did formerly when the
dry struck him. He holds on to Kansas,
and says: IF we get rain within week
the corn will be safe
The drouth in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan and several other eastern states,
is far worse than it has been in Kansas,
The grass. in those states, is as dry and
yellow as it is in midwinter, and the corn
will be total failure Kansas farmers
who have corn on hand would do vel to
hold it.
Governor Martin, who has seen all the
big Kansas drouths for thirty years, and
who returned from trip as far east as
Maine yesterday, reports that he has never
seen more utter picture of dry desolation
than the states of Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio. The country has been burned by a
relentless sun, and their prairies look like
widwinter.

A,Boon to tho sIaepiosn.

The brain, as the center of the nervous sys-
TEN, requires rest, even more than the body. A
man can stand continuous bodily labor far
better than mental strain The fatigue which
school teachers experience at the close OF their
days work is not bodily fatigue so much us q
drain on the vital strength aeused by the con-
slant demand on the brain. When tho brain Is
overworked the whole nervous system suffers.
One of the chief symptoms oficoming brain
trouble is sleeplessness. Very few journalists
can drop into quiet slumber Rfter nights exs
hausting work. No clergyman, after, an even.
ing's sermon, can DO sure Of sleep, however
valuable HIS discourse may have proved In
producing sleep among his congregation. In
short, no man who uses his brain all the time
can keepup, not only the mental strain, but
his bodily health, without using some neryine.
Some try to Supply themselves by narcotic,
others resort to excessive fatigue to cure them
selves of sleeplessness. But Dir. Henley,s Cell
