Woodville Republican. (Woodville, Miss.) 185?-current, 1888-12-15


Four years ago it was found that the great
cattle industry Of the country was endangered
and those engaged IN IL were alarmed at the
rapid extension OF the European lung plague OF
pleuro-pneumohia. Serious outbreaks existed
In Illinois, Missouri and kentucky, and in
Tennessee animals affected were held in quar-
antine Five counties in New York and from one
to four counties in each OF the States OF rev
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland
were almost equally affected. With this great
danger upon US and with the contagion already
IN the channels Of commerce, with the enor-
nous direct and indirect losses already being
caused by it, and when only prompt and
energetic action could be successful, there were
N none OF these States any laws authorizing
This department to eradicate the malady or CIV
ing the State officials power to cooperate with
It for this purpose. The department even lacked
both the requisite appropriation and autnOrlty
Ivy securing State cooperation In connection
with authority from Congress the work OF
eradication has been pressed successfully, ana
this dreaded disease has been extirpated from
the Western States and also from the Eastern
States, with the except N OF few restricted
areas which are still under supervision. The
danger has been removed and trade and COM
merce have been freed from the vexntious
State restrictions which were deemed neces-
sary for time.
sUGAR-MAKIEG EXPERIMENTS.
During the past four years the process OF diff
fusion, as applied 10 the manufacture OF sugar
| from sorghum and sugar cane has been intro
duceI into this country, and fully perfected by
the experiments carried on by the Department
| of Agriculture. This process Is now uni
versaily considered TO be the most eco
nomlcal one, and It IS through that the
| sorghum sugar industry has been established
upon flrrn basis and the road to 1t future sue
| cess opened. The adoption OF this diffusion
| process is also extended In Louisiana and
| other sugar-producIng parts OF the country,
| and will, doubtless, soon De the only methoo
employed for the extraction Of sugar from the
cane

Cancer Among yegetarians.

Surgeon Major Hendley, resident sur

lowing statements are made: M. Reclus
has shown that cancer was all but un-
known among the persons whose food
WIS exclusively vegetable. M. Verneuil
also believed that the increase of cancer
was largely due to the carnivorous habits
of diet Of the past generation The
records of the Mayo hospital at Jaypore,
which is under my charge. show no such
immunity of vegetarians from cancer
From January. 1880, to the present date,
102 major operations have been performed
in the hospital in cases of cancer OF
these, Al were on the persons of meat
eaters and 6f on those of strict vegeta-
rians who had never eaten meat since
their birth.
In India, where caste rules are exceed
ingly rigid, the fact that the latter we're
true vegetarians is absolute proof
Among them are six Saraogis. class of
Jains who even reject many kinds Of
vegetables Three of these Saraogis suf-
fered from cancer Of the breast. Out of
102 cases there were 3deaths attributable
to the operation. There is no informa-

contrary. The cases were divided as fol-

In rockets. bombs. pinwheels, and more

calculated to distract the minds of be-

quaintance was invited to perform the
actual setting off of the combustibles,
which. while the display was in progress,
were piled on and around a chair In the
lawn He mildly suggested that it was
dangerous to have them SO near while the
exhibition was being given, but the oh
lection was overruled by the hostess on
the ground that it was so much more con-
venient to have them ready at hand for
use when wanted So the entertainment
proceeded, beginning with the lighting of
few homan candles and other tribes,
which were intended to serve as intro
ductory TO the more scrumptious and ex-
pensive fizgigs
A very few had gone off. to the mex

camp stools at little distance, when an
envious spark chanced to drop upon the

He wa. .AwtuIl, Nice."

In the morning party of st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Milwaukee people, about
100 in all, hired train. went up to Wind
sor and thence up the Thames in steam
launches. They were a merry crowd.
When the train reached Windsor the
party strolled through the parks sur
rounding the castle, laughing and sing
ing, much to the amazement of the simple
villagers and awe stricken attendants.
Half dozen pretty western girls were
romping ahead of the main party at the
foot of the castle wall when they sud,
denly came upon a tall. military looking
young man in riding costume, carrying
big bunch of primroses and wild flowers.
''Oh. what pretty fiowers!" cried one of
the misses. Where do you get them,
sir?" she asked. looking inquiringly at the
Young man. her face betraying not the
slightest sign of embarrassment.
Il picked them over there. said the one
addressed. pointing to an inclosure with
his riding whip. But you couldn't reach
them because that's private property.
Suppose you take these. can get some
more.
He handed over the entire bunch, lifted
his hat politely and walked back for more
flowers. The girls thought him 'awfully
nice, :" but they didn't know he was Prince
Henry of Battenberg. the queens son-in
law, who, as a matter of duty, religiously
picks wild flowers for her majesty every
day.-London Cor. New York Press.

F1ueney Of the Sign Lanrua-e.

Before spoken language was there were
signs; before speech stepped in there were
gestures; the face did duty as a revealer
of the emotions, and the hands accom-
panied by gesticulation, as that of ideas,
and foP all the ordinary purposes of life
the code is amply sufficient. Watch two
deaf people as they use it. They have
plenty to say and know how to say it,
Their talk may not last more than ten
minutess but if all that talk was written
out it would cover an astenishingly large
amount of space. Politics, social topics,
all may have been discussed with equal
facility.
True, the deaf make free use of the
manual alphabet in connection with signs,
but the cause lies rather in muscular
WEAKNESS than in any inadequacy on the
part of the signs themselves As devel-
oped in the schools for the deaf. the sign
language has a capacity for thought ex-
preston absolutely marvellous Moreover,
it is swift. comprehensive-and yet con-
densed-and above all, it is silent. A
universally understood code of signs
would do away with the strident and OFT
time profane efforts to understand and be
understood. which are at once the dread
and torment of the average tourist.-De-
troit Free Press.
