CHAMBERS AND FARCY.
Why Farmers Should Not Attempt to
Doctor Diseased AnimaIs.

Why Farmers Should Not Attempt to
Doctor Diseased Animals.
The prevalence of CHAMBERS in quite
number of places in the West prompts
repetition of the warnings given here
tofore in our columns, that it is extreme
ly dangerous for any one to attempt
the doctoring of such diseased animals.
Cases are frequent where this loath-
some disease has been conveyed to the
attendants, who, after lingering q while
in great suffering, have died horrible
deaths, the care of such persons being
not only repulsive, but dangerous as
well. There is only one safe course to
follow when animals are found to be
affected with CHAMBERS, and that is to
Immediately destroy them. and bury
them deeply where they are not likely
to be disturbed. The stables should be
thoroughly disinfected. and every thing
that has been used about the animals,
brushes, harness, pals, etc, should be
immersed in boiling water, and then,
after having been dried, placed in
carbolic acid solution. A safer method
is to burn all these things, together with
all straw, hay or other food about the
hangers, and even the woodwork about
the stables. The fatal and very c0nta-
gious character of this disease calls for
the greatest caution and it is far better
to burn every thing from which there is
the least danger, rather than take any
risk whatever. 1t is particularly dam
gerous for any one whose hands the skin
is broken or tender to handle such ami
mails, for, as stated, the disease is in
durable, and alike fatal to man and
beast. Farcy is similar disease, and
either frequently terminates in combi-
nation with the other Although gem
orally spread by infection. these dis
eases may originate from badly
ventilated, unhealthy quarters, from
bad food, privation, etc, and hence the
Importance of providing suitable food
and housing for the stock. When the
disease breaks out in q stable, the af-
fccted animals should be Immediately
separated from the rest. Those that
have been exposed should be carefully
watched, and on the first appearance
of any indications of the disease should
at once be placed where they can do no
harm, and when it is evident that the
disease is CHAMBERS, they should also be
killed Immediately. Neither horses nor
mules should be placed in stable
where CHAMBERS has appeared for at
least two months afterwards, the build
ing, meantime, having been thoroughly
disinfected. National Live Stock Jour

THE MURDERED GAR.


ii. of Russia.
There appeared in print a most sour
rilous attack upon the morals of the
Gar and the Empress, in rhyme. which
was discovered to be the work of a
young noble, famous for his literary
gifts, but strongly suspected of Mill
istic tendencies. When the identity of
the author was reported to the Gar he
sent for the young man to come and
see him. They chatted together for q
few moments on commonplace topics,
when the Gar invited him to take
luncheon with the imperial family.
After the luncheon was served and the
Gar sat sippinga cup of tea, he turned
to the young noble and said:
Il understand you are very clever
poet"
The author blushed and acknowl-
edged that he did some verses now and
then.
"And l am informed that you are the
writer of most beautiful tribute to
your Emperor and Empress lately-one
of the most charming things have ever
seen, so pure and elevated in sentiment,
so nobly and beautifully conceived and
SO honorably published. have asked
you here thatyou may see the family
you have made the subject of your lines,
in order that you may judge for your
self how truthful you are, and witness
the old boar, as you called me, and
the old sow, as you called my wife, the
litter of pigs, as you called my child
rem, eating from the trough as you
were pleased to call my table. Now
that you for the first time have had an
opportunity to see what degraded
beasts we are, must ask you to return
the favor by reading your little work
aloud in our presence. Here is copy"
said the Gar, drawing from his pocket
one of the brutal and obscene pamph-
lets that had been published anony-
mously and circulated broadcast.
The young poet dropped upon his
knees and begged for mercy. He de-
MED and confessed the authorship in
the same breath, and actually fell over
in faint. He said he would rather be
hung, rather be sent to Siberia than
read the poem in the presence of the
family, and tore the pamphlet to tat
tiers. The Gar took him by the hand,
babe him ask the forgiveness of the
Empress and then with word of adj
monition dismissed him. - Chicago Ne0s.

THE SENSE OF TUNE.
An Army Officer Who Could Not Distin-

AN army OH1cer VINO Could Not Distin-
guish One Note from Another.
That there are many people who are
unable either to sing tune or to recog-
nize one when it is sung is well known.
But no musician nor man of science is
able fully to account for the phenome-
non of one person out of twenty, or
one out of forty, according to the ma
ton to which he belongs, being unable
to do what all the rest do instinctivelv,
although his hearing is as good as
theirs. 1t has been suggested that
people so afflicted have ears that are
not, so to speak, mates, inasmuch as
they hear the musical sounds different
ly, and so make discord and render
the effect disagreeable. But this theory
seems to be disproved by the circum-
stance that music is not by any means
disagreeable to many people who do
not know one note from another.
Though they can not distinguish even
a tune that has been sung or played to
them a great many times, they are
nevertheless ''moved with concord of
sweet sounds" Other people hear all
musical sounds alike, and to them
music is not discord, but simply noise.
But if the theory of the unlike ears
does not explain all cases of music
deafness" it seems to explain some of
them. General Grant used to say that
all music was torture to him. A GER
tain gallant Major, however, was diff
ferently affected, A young lady, who
had sung q great many songs to him,
finally remarked:
"But, perhaps, Major, you do not like
music?"
80 yes, miss; may say that like
any kind of noise!'
A certain gentleman who is master
of q New England high school is very
lenient to such Of his pupils as declare
themselves unable to sing. He remem-
bers an experience which he had in his
own youth, when he was required to
sing with others, in school, although
he could not distinguish one tone from
another. Seeing that his singing seemed
to give him good deal Of distress, the
teacher called him out and asked him
If he could sing the scale.
Il suppose so, sir" said the boy.
"Then let me hear YOU"
The boy sang "Do, re, mi, ia, sol, la,
81, do" but all upon one note, without
particle of difference between them.
He had never supposed there was any
thing more of it. In after-life this gentle
man became an officer in the service of
the Union. He found that his entire in
ability to distinguish one musical note
from another caused him difficulty in
recognizing the bugle calls. They
were all on one note to him. AS it was
necessary for him to know them, he
sent for a bugler and had him practice
all the calls, in succession, before his
tent. After series Of these studies,
he became able to distinguish the calls,
but he learned them rather by their
rhythm than by the varying notes. 49,

The Funeral Month of March.

An observant metropolitan barber says
that he can te-- ones physical condition by
the state of the hair!
The Bible tells US that with his hair gone
Samson lost his strength. The Romans
considered badness serious affection and
julius Caesar was never quite satisfied with
himself because his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book and
one can readily trace in it's various express
sions, lines, changes and complexion the
state of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and yet
has a pallid brightness, the face upon
whose cheeks nature paints rose of sin
gular beauty and flush, more marked in con-
trast with the alabaster appearance of the
forehead and nose and lower part of the
face, is one of those whom the skilled ply
stefan will tell you will some day dread
the funereal month Of March, because it
is then that consumption reaps its richest
harvest. Consumption they tell US is caused
by this, that and the other thing, by mi
crobes in the air, by heterogeneous in
the blood, by deficient nutrition, by a thou
sand and one things, but whatever the cause,
decay begins with cough and the remedy
that will effectually stop the cause of that
cough cures the disease of the lungs.
That is all the. G is Of it.
The cough is an evidence OF wasting.
To stop it efrectually, remedy must be
used that will search out the cause, re-
move that and then heal the lung and do
away with the cough. This is the power,
special to itself, possessed alone by War
ner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy. This is no new-fangled notion of
narcotics and poisons, but an old-fash-
toned DreDaratiOn of balsams, roots and
herbs, such as was used by our ancestors
many years ago, the formula Of which has
been secured exclusively by the present
manufacturers atgreat trouble and expense.
1t is not a mer dryer 1t is system
searcher and upbuAder and a consumption
expellant. Where others fail, it wins, be-
cause it gets at the constitutional cause and
removes it from the system.
j. W. Hensaw of Greensboro, Pa, on Jan.
Is, 1888, reported that "he had derived
more real benefit for the length of time,
from Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption remedy than he had for years
from the best state physicians"
If you have a cough, night sweats, "posi-
tive assurance in your own mind that
you, oh-you, have no consumption"
and yet lose flesh, appetite, courage, as
your lungs waste away, you may know that
soon the funereal month of March will
claim you, unless promptly and faithfully
you use tho article named. If other rem
edies have failed try this one thoroughly.
If others are offered, insist the more on
trying this unequaled preparation.
Some persons are prone to consumption
and they should never allow the disease to
become seated.

"A boed crop should be part of the

reason that such crop requires close

JAMES MORGAN FOR GOVERNOR.

The Milwaukee Daily Journal of
Saturday, August II, published inter
views with nearly three hundred dem
Ocrats of Wisconsin as to their choice
for candidate for governor. A very
large majority of democrats inter
viewed favor the nomination of James
Morgan, of Milwaukee; and there are
many good reasons why Mr.. Morgan
would make most excellent candi-
date. He is man of sterling integri-
ty, and fine business and executive
ability. He is a sound and thorough
democrat, and being such is in hearty
sympathy with toilers of all classes.
He is so popular with the people of
Milwaukee that the members of the
labor party recently proposed to make
him their candidate for governor
The only obstacle in the way of this
movement was Mr. Morgan s fidelity
to the democratic party. He unhesi-
tatingly declared his intention of sup
porting and voting for Cleveland and
Thurman; and so labor agitators of
republican antecedents prevented his
nomination by the workingmen.
However, if he is nominated as the
straight out democratic candidate he
will have the united and enthusiastic
support of his own party and will
draw many workingmen who are not
within the democratic ranks.
