The Cow as Transmitter of Disease.

The transmission from the COW TO man
OF scarlet fever aud tuberculosis was the
subject Of the opening address Of Pro-
fessor Hamilton at Marischal Cottage,
Aberdeen, in which tho lecturer gave an
excellent account Of the investigations
conducted by Mr.. Power and Dr. Klein
into the relation Of cow malady TO
scarlet fever in man. He referred also
to the observations OF Copeland, who
believed that both the dog aud the
horse could suffer from the latter ailec-
ton, and stated that febrlc condition
of some time can be communicated to
animals by innoculating them with the
blood Of persons who are the subjects Of
scarlet fever lie further expressed the
opinion that tubcrclc could be conveyed
to man by means OF milk from
tuberculous coys. While the possibility
Of such occurrence cannot be denied, it
must be borne in mind that Klein has
pointed out that there are certain inn
portant differences between bovine and
human tuberculosis; and again, Creigh-
ton has shown that man occasionally
suffers from form Of this disease which
resembles the bovine malady, making It
probable that by far the greater number
Of cases are not Of bovine origin Never
theless, the subject deserves much
greater investigation, and certainly
every effort shoald he made to preyeat
the distribution Of milk from tuber
culous cows. ~ london lancet.

Ridges in the Months Roof.

Dr. Harrison Alien called the atten-
ton of the last meeting of'the Academy
of Natural Sciences to the subject of the
ruga, or ridges of mucous membrane,
on the roof of the mouth. He proposed
naming them for the purpose Of descrip-
tion in accordance with their relation to
the medical suture and the incisivc fora
men, the sutura, pre-sutural and post
sutural folds. He had found in man
certain constant pecuiiarities in the dis
position of these folds which serve to
distinguish the left side from the right
For instance, on the left side there is a
tendency for the sutural fold to be turned
back, while on the right side it forms
union with the fold in front. He re-
garded the peculiarties of the left side
to be owing to a physiological over
growth Of the bone on that side. The
data based on an examination Of the
mouths Of his patients did not, however,
apply to those free from disease OF
irregularity He considered the study
Of these ruge to be Of importance in
comparative physiology. In the lower
animals there is no variation in the two
sides, and the ruge are constant in the
different groups - philadelphia Ledger.

After the Day.

AlUtI tHc OdIs
Down the west the daylight dies,
Twilight brings a timid star,
Sleep steals into baby eyes,
Bright as sunlit waters are;
Little dainty baby prayers
Drowsily float up to Heaven.
Sweet goodnights come down the stairs
While the solemn clock declares
1t is seven.
Little garments lay away,
Little shoes, in comic file,
Till another happy day
Wakes each baby sleeper's smile.
Glides the hour with flying feet
There's a goodby at the gate
Well-known footsteps, firm and feet,
Tread adown the dark'ning street
just at eight.
Busy, tired mother hands
Help the time creep slowly past
Little buttons, little bands.
Little seams made firm and fast.
One by one the minutes go,
Marching as in solemn line;
Sure was never clock so slow,
Counting grudgingly and low,
Only nine!
Pleasant book and easy chair
Sweet cOmpanionship invite;
Other scenes and fancies fair,
Rise unbidden to the sight.
Noble thoughts from other hearts
Wake up better hopes for men,
All unnoticed time departs,
Even the old clock, seeming, starts,
Striking ten.
At the gate the winds of night
Toy amid the trembling leaves,
flushed to breaths as soft and light
AS the sigh of one who grieves;
And beneath the gems that glow
Calmly OH the breast of heaven,
Footsteps tramping to and fro,
Like great wave come and go,
Till eleven.
And on many thresholds shore
Breaks the wave in driftings dear
But "a weary half hour more
Flow and ebb still finds me here
List'ning to my hearts quick beat,
Till its echoes, tremblingly,
Deepen into footsteps feet,
Coming up the darkened street,
Home to me-

The Republican County Executive
Committee which met here on Satur.

1t was stormy meeting, led by S. p.

Menear on one side and DR.. T. +.
Lanham and Julius Scherr on the
other side. From one whe was pres.
ent at the meeting we learn that DIR.
Lanham performed the task of "trip.
ping the light fantastic first upon
one foot and then upon the other, to
the patriotic song of Hail to the
Chief" as sung by VIM. III. Menear
and +. Il. Stone. The flow of oratory
is said to have been interpreted with
a choice selection of adjectives more
virulent and epithetical than eloquent.
"Every shot struck the bulls eye, and
Lanham's stock deprecated accord
ingly, until the once Republican
Ajax was completely shorn of his
powers as n political boss and leader
by the now famous Nemesis McCor.
mick" said one of the followers.
Continuing he said "The trouble in
this county is that we have had too
much bOssism, and Mr.. Mccormick
and the rest Of us are trying to purify
the politics of Preston county and
eradicate from it every vestige of
bossism, and 90 far we have succeed
ed beyond our expectations"
The ARGUS will be frank enough TO
give DR.. Lanham credit as n shrewd
politician, and one who will not give
up the fight without a struggle. In
fact the Lanham men are confident
that they will yet succeed in getting
a county convention, while the Nc
Cormick men are determined to have
the Executive Committee to name
the man. The Democrats can afford
to look on with complscency as it is
no fight of theirs.
