FACTS FROM HISTORY.

THE translation Of the Bible was finished

THE first landing of the Danes in England
was in 1850 B. G.
THREE years after the landing Of the En-
glish colonists at Jamestown, Va, the first
importation OF cattle occurred.
On the 9Th Of December following his cleo
ton to the Presidency Mr. Lincoln made
public his choice for Secretary of State.
THE manufacture of linen was first intro
duced into England by the Flemings, or
people Of Flanders, in 1853 Its manufact-
ure spread into Scotland and into Ireland
during the reign Of James L
ONE hundred years ago apples were not
much larger than plums, tomatoes were en-
tirely unknown, and many Of the most val
liable fruits and vegetables grew in the
woods in the wild state in which nature
created them.
TURNPIKE roads were first established in
the reign of Queen Anne. Till then all
roads were repaired by the parishes. Turn
pixies were SO called from poles or bars
swung on staple, and turned either way
when dues were paid.
In the ninth century an old beggar from
Japan took some tea seeds and plants back
with him to his native land. The Japanese

though now almost 700 years old.

AN OLD ORGANIZATION,


Brief History of the Foundation of tho
Society Of the CINCINNATI.
A short time before the disbanding
of the Continental army, in 1888, IN
association called the Society of the
Cincinnati was formed among the off,
cors of the troops stationed at New
burg, N. Y. General Knox was the
one who first suggested the society, the
object of which was to be the promo
ton of friendship among the officers of
the army and the assistance of such of
its members as might need help.
Washington was chosen the first presi-
don't of the society, and remained pres
ident-general until his..death. General
Knox was the first secretary-general.
Subsequently State societies were
formed, auxiliary to the general soci-
ETY.. In order that the society should
not pass away with the generation
that formed it, its constitution pro-
vided that the eldest masculine
descendant Of an original MEM
| Der should be entitled to wear tho
order and enjoy the privileges Of the
society, if accounted worthy of these
by the other members. There was so
much popular prejudice excited by
what was considered to be the germ
of an hereditary aristocracy," that the
| right of succession was thus made, sub
! ject to the vote of the society on the
| worthy character of tho eldest male
| descendant. A number of French Of
ficers were made honorary life mem-
bers of the society. Washington was
reelected tri-ennially to the office of
president general as long as he lived.
He was succeeded by Hamilton and the
Pincl1neys, and the society was in all
it's vigor in l824-5, whom Lafayette,
then the only surviving Acknowledgement
of the revolution, visited this country.
! The Connecticut society was dissolved
| in 1904. At near the same time the
societies Of New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Delaware and Georgia were
discontinued. Robert Burnet, of New
York, who died in 1854, was
the last survivor of the original
members of the association. The
general Society of the Cincinnati is still
in existence, and also State branches
in Massachusetts, Maryland, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and South
Carolina. The State societies have an
nual meetings; the general society
meets tri-ennially. The order, or badge,
worn by members, consists of golden
eagle, suspended by ribbon of blue
and white. On the breast of the eagle
is a medallion, on which is a repre-.
sentation OF Cincinnatus at his pillow,
receiving the Roman Senators, who
offer him the Office of chief magistrate
of Rome. The order worn by the pres
ident general is adorned with Jewels
and was presented to General Wash.
ington by the French officers. The
President General of the Society of the
Cincinnati in 1880 was Hamilton Fish
then Secretary of State, son of Colone

members, who still, we think, fills thi.

THE SWINE PLAGUE.

-Four Lessons Taught by Observations
Made at Experiment Stations.
Experiments made with lime upon
the virus of hog cholera have been
very satisfactory and sufficiently posi-
tive to warrant its use in place of the
corrosive sublimate formerly recon-
mended. Lime has many advantages
over other disinfectants. It is cheap,
easily obtained and prepared and may
be used with impunity, as it has no
poisonous properties. Bacteria of hog
cholera, free from any organic or in
organic matter, are destroyed within
ono hour by lime water diluted to one
fourth of its original strength.
When existing in organic matter
p larger per cent. of limo is
required. In practical appli-
cations it Will be efficient on wood az
4 whitewash. In infected pens the
soil should be covered with powdered
Dr. Stacked lime in a thin layer. The
lime water will percolate into the
deeper layers of the soil and destroy
any bacteria that may have penetrated
into them from the surface.
From experiments on the vitality OF
hog-cholera virus in the soil it is safe
to say that q period of six months is
the maximum and three the minimum
time that need be allowed for infected
pens and grounds to become safe for
occupancy when no disinfection is
practiced. Lime as whitewash on
woodwork or scattered over the soil
at Stacked lines, used, in short,
wherever there is any suspicion OF
virus, may reduce the time during
which the ground should remain un.
occupied to two weeks.
From the results OF the experience
gathered at experimental stations dur.
ing the past three years it has been
! shown (D that healthy pigs can be
kept free from Infection, even on a
farm where such disease is constantly
kept up for purposes of Investigations,
provided they are kept in clean pens
and there is no transmission of virus
from the sick to the we'll through i'm.
PIGMENTS, or through the carelessness
of farm hands carrying it in their
clothing, shoes or otherwise. (2)
That the disease may be carried
to previously unintected local.
ity by pigs brought from un:
known sources. (3) That the disease,
supposed to be extinct, may Turk in {
chronic form in some animal without
being recognized, and may be thus
transmitted to fresh animals, usually
in spring and fall, when least expect
ed. (4) That the safest way of rails.
ing swine is to be breed them on {
