sending Cattle to soutb America.

AFTER many con situations a pool has
been formed by the leading HEREFORD cat
tie men of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio to
make venture OF shipment to Buenos
Az ers. A small but wealthy con pany of
Hereford eattla breeders in England has
for the past eighteen months shipped a
large number of that breed to the Argen-
tine states. Its operations have been
quietly conducted, so much so that the
prices were not obtainahle by the breed
ers of the Herefords elsewhere. Some
weeks ago it was suggested to the India
ma breeders that, if the English com pany
could continue the shipments for many
months, there must be profit in it and it
would be to their interest to undertake
the business.

"Oh, merely the saved estate"

ssWhat is seedles5 raisin, and how is
it produced?" was asked of an importer
of fruits "The next time you eat a
piece of mince pie" he replied, "you will
find the seedless raisin in it, if the meat
has been properly made. 1t is smallish,
cream -collored fruit, about the size of a
gooseberry, and is Used with It's I'M
broken skin. 1t comes fir. N Smyrna
and IS called the 'Sultana.' 1t is grown
seedless simply by arresting one of the
laws of Dature. When the grape is about
half ripe the end of the vine is bent down
und buried In the ground. This prevents
the formation of seed and the full de-
velopment of the fruit, but it ripens all
the came and has delicious flavor.

Alcohol and Diphtheria.

Alcohol, we make bold to say, is the
prince of antiseptics, and the most per-
feet and reliable medicine of which we
have any knowledge in diphtheria. Dilut-
ed with equal parts of water and given in
small aud repeated doses, the malignant
symptoms of this most fatal malady soon
disappear, and convalescence becomes as
sured. 1t is interesting to note with what
facility the alcohol dissolves the dipbthet-
ic oxidation in the throat, lowers the
tenn perature and Gains the pulse, show
Ing its destructive action upon the germs
of the disease, which have been absorbed
by the glands and gained access to the
blood. This remedy has beed used by us
in the treatment of diphtheria since 1873,
during which time no case of the disease
has slipped through our hands except in
one solitary instance, and that case was
in articulo mortis before the remedy was
given. The remedy is also prophylatic
to the disease, as we have found IN many
instances where it has been exoedient to
quarantine the patient. For this pur
pose, it is only necessary for exposed
persons to use the remedy, diluted as
above stated, as gargle and to swallow
little of it three or four times day.

Mn. PARNELL's interview with a repre-
sentative of the Dublin Freeman's Journ-
al exhibition in affairs which has been
the distinguishing characteristic of his
patient and successful leadership. He
believes that it would be fully to inter
fere with the legitimate results of dissen-
sions in the Tory Cabinet by useless
obstruction of ordinary Parliamentary
business. He is confident that at the
next election the Nationalist will gain
seats even in Ulster, and that experience
will show the inadequacy, even as a po-
Utica. movement, of the rent reductions
that have been obtained from the Minis
try. He looks TO the operation of natur-
al causes for the speedy coming of a
Government crisis. Then Will be the
opportunity of abe Liberals; and mean
while Irritating steps which would only
tend to cement the elements of Tory
strength into closer uuion, should be
sdalously avoided.

lHERE IS an emu at IaSG TO the 1redG
Eastern, whose career has been a long
and unbrnken series of failures and dis
asters. She has been purchased for G10.-
900 by we'll known firm of metal brokers
at Liverp pool and Swansea, and is to be
broken up at once. The cost Of this des-
tructive operation will be at least &c.
900. The Great Eastern was the might
lest ship that ever sailed the ocean.
There is no telling what it cost the East
ern steamship company to build it, but it
is estimated TO be somewhere between
three and four million dollars. 1t cost
quarter of a million to launch it.
The business OF trainrobbing in the
Southwest is still fourishing. In the lat
est robbery only six or eight highwaymen
succeeded in carrying off the booty, al
though the train was at stand aud the
trainmen and passengers had ample OPP
portunlty to resist. If the railway mana
gers were in league with the robbers they
could hardly be less active in supervising
these robberies that they are. If the
eight or ten railway employees had been
properly armed, they could easily have
driven the robbers off. The companies
make no effort to stop the business by
employing two or three courageous men
with rifles TO protect the train.
W. d. HowELLs is something like the
State of Michigan, he does not believe IN

Harper's Weekly advocating execution by
electricity if we do execute. He says that
we should, "after nearly nineteen centCr
les of the Christ who babe US not to xii
at all, kill by the humanest method known
to science" But did Christ tell us not 10
kill at all? The word skill" is used about
fifty times in the New Testament. Christ
uses it, but we doubt if He commands Us
not to kill. Perhaps Mr.. Howells viii
quote the exact phrase. Perhaps again
he had the ten commandments in his
mind when he wrote his letter.

NEW anti Socialist measure, more
stringent than any of its predecessors is
shortly to be introduced in the German
eiohstag. The sternest feature of it is
a provision calling for expatriation or
loss of citizenship in the case of persons
who, by their opinions, deny the States
right to exist. The measure, it is said
is aimed principally at secret agitation,
it being considered impossible that Bis
