That America is the country of the de-
mocracy was never better illustrated than
in the selection of Patrick Egan to the
presidency of the Land League of Ameri-
ca. He came from Ireland during the
early part of 1888 and is therefore not as
yet an American citizen. Mr.. Egan was
the first honorary Treasurer of the Irish
Land League. Before coming to Ameri-
ca, Mr.. Egan was corn merchant in Dub
lin, the house of which he was senoir part
ner being one of the most influential in
Ireland. Whilst Mr.. Egan was still treas
ure rof the Irish Land League the passage
of Mr.. Fosters protection act, which rem
dered every one in Ireland liable to arrest
upon reasonable suspicion, it was deemed
advisable to remove the funds to Paris.
There he spent two years devoting him
self to the arduOus duties of his office.
During his absence his business partner,
who took no interest in politics, was ar
rested, and only after the strenuous exer-
tons of his friends released. After the
release of the Irish suspects Mr.. Egan re-
turned to Dublin and resigned the treas
urership of the League.
He had however been surfeited with the
life in Ireland, and accordingly after few
months set out for America. He settled
in Nebraska and there began operations in
the corn trade, acting in conjunction with
his firm in Ireland. Mr.. Egan is between
fifty and tifty-fve years of age and is an
ardent worker for the Irish cause. In con-
senting to act as president of the Land
League Mr.. Egan will have to sacrifice
many business opportunities.
At the Irish Land League Convention
which met last week at Chicago, success
sOr to Mr.. Egan will be elected.
TYROTOXICON.-AccOr to a COM
munication from Ann ArbOr, Mich, DR.. V.
G.. Vaughn, "in examining a specimen OF
the ice-cream which recently poisoned
number of persons at Newton, Mich, has
made the important discovery that tyro-
tOXicon, the active element in poisonous
cheese which he discovered some time
since was also present in the ice-cream,
and was the cause Of the Sickness"
This, it is said, "proves that tyrotoxicon,
is due to the decomposition of milk, and
may be developed in any milk which is
kept in impure atmosphere or unclean
vessels. The germ seems to multiply
very rapidly, and a small amount of faint
ed milk will poison a whole can. 1t is
DR.. Naughn's theory that tyrotoXicon has
much to do with cholera infantum, the

How TO MANAGE WOMAN.-A Per-
sian poet gives the following instructions
upon this important subject:
"When thou art married seek to please
thy wife, but listen not to all thatshe says.
From mans right side rib was taken to
form the woman, and never was there seen
a rib quite straight, and wOuld'st thou
straighten it? 1t breaks, but bends not.
Since then tits plain that crooked is wo--
mans temper, forgive her faults and
blame her not, nor let her anger thee, nor
coercion use, as all is vain to straighten
what is curved"
ag We can be thankful to a friend for
few acres, or little money, and yet TOR
the freedom and command of the whole
earth, and for the great benefits OF our
being, our life, health and reason, we look
upon ourselves as under no obligation.-
Seneca.
aay. A wise man should have money in
his head, but not in his heart.
