It is pretty certain that the coming
man will be bald if he continues to wear
tight hats, and toothless if he continues
to live upon soft food; and certainly
near sighted if he continues to live in

objects. But there will be other changes

A MARES NEST.
Doctor Adam Harthill and the
Wild Texas Cattle.

Doctor Adam Harthill, the veterinarian,
of Louisville, KY, has been talking to a
Louisville Courier-Journal reporter, about
the Texas cattle fever aud death of cattle
in Louisville. He says:
There can be no doubt that there has
been good many deaths among the cat
tie, especially the mich COWS, in the west
ern portion of the city. believe that
there were between forty and fifty cases,
all of which have proven, or will prove,
fatal. The disease is what is commonly
called Spanish or Texas fever.
The disorder was introduced by herd
of Texas cattle which was shipped to this
city for slaughter, and from the railroad
freight depot through the West End. The
domestic COWS encountered the herd as it
passed through the streets, and caught the
cOntagion.
"When an animal becomes infected, it
becomes dull and sleepy, and is soon af-
fected by constipation. This changes
after a while to an excessive iux of blood
and foreign matter. The COW then slowly
dies, the term of her existence ranging
from a few hours to several days, but the
result, as far as modern researches into
the cause and cure of the fever are con-
cerned, is inevitable. She will die without
doubt.
$50 you want technical analysis of the
disorder. All right, just write 1t down as
proceed:
"Splenis, Texas or Spanish fever, which
is observed among the cattle of the
southern states, of the Gulf of Mexico,
when driven northwest, has never yet been
mastered by ths veterinary science. In
1868 the Texas cattle driven to the north
west markets spread the disease so ex-
tensively as to endanger the future traffic
between the sta es, and for time Texas
cattle were excluded from the northern
markets.
THE disorder is communicated from
southern cattle, whose appearance has
few indications of the disease.
The infection does not take hold on
northern cattle in the winter or spring,
but is very fatal in summer and fall; and
another strange point is that the animals
receiving the infection do not spread it
among themselves, nor do the southern
cattle, when transferred from one gulf
coast locality to another, communicate the
disorder.
Sometimes ten days or two weeks
| elap5e before the cOntaSlOn becomes ap-
parent after the contact, and in some ia
stances much greater periods have passed
before the disease showed itself in the in
valid condition of the animal attacked.
"Medical attention has been found of
little use, as the mysterious disease, as l
haveaalways stated, has not been mastered,
and the only thing that can be done is to
continue to endeavor to cure the animal,
in the hope that something that is put in
use will produce the cure"

no anything but grim poverty, suffering

One of the Curiositles Of American
Politics.
From the New York Herald.


Every thoughtful republican who has
stndied the drift of the times knows that
his party is in a very critical predicament,
and that heroic measures are necessary
if it is to be saved, not from defeat
merely, but from destruction.
1t makes much of the word "protec-
tion," but the word covers counterfeit
aud a swindle. In the last ANALYSIS we
find that it protects the classes but not
the masses, and under government by
the people that is sure to be fatal in the
end.
The leaders of the party in the senate
are in q pitiable plight. They hardly dare
to adjourn until they have expressed
some decisive opinion on the tariff ques-
ton, and the rub is just there. If they
introduce substitute for the Mills bill,
and so keep their pledge TO lower the high
taxes, they thereby acknowledge that the
democrats are right in principle and have
been shrewd enough to get ahead of them
in inaugurating needed reform. On the
other hand, if they tackle the internal
revenue they must follow the cue of the
Chicago convention and suggest free
whisky, which will set the whole country
laughing st them.
So they are in just the kind of guam
Diary in which a silly fellow found himself
during the late war. He somehow got be-
tween the two forces-didn't dare to go
ahead for fear Of being shot by the con
federates, nor to retreat for fear of being
shot by mis- friends, nor to stand still for
fear both of them would take a whack at
him just to get him out of the way.
The situation is worth looking at crit
ically. The republican doctors held
a consultation in 1884, and in

The Cat Out of the Bag.

The Pasadena Daily Union, speaking OF
Doctor Lees visit to that place, has this
to say:
"As long as the cat is ont OF the bag, we
may as well say that the Rev. Mr.. Lee, who
came here from the Lone Star state to
occupy the pulpit, and dispense the Cos
pei for the Episcopal,sns of the city, is
not suited with the crown of the valley,
and he returns to the choice of his earlier
days. Great exp citations were held by
the good people of All Saints when they
called Mr.. Lee, but their new rector could
not see things as others saw them, and he
had no sooner set his foot upon this soil
than he folded his tent, like the Arab, and
as quietly stole away. Better luck next
time

The Colored Asylum.

The asylum for the colored deaf rnd

The superintendency is excellent and
eminently satisfactory to the board OF
managers. The wife of superintendent
Holland is o most amiable and kind,
hearted lady, and she has wonderful con-
troll over the children. The institution
could not be in better hands, and it is one
that in all of its appointments reflects
credit upon the state and upon higher

was fine and the singing superb. Very

have been much larger. Those who were

could not be otherwise, for the entertain

superior order of merit. Ice cream and
