MYRIADS OF SWANS.
Bedford,s Nimrods Have n Great Night
With Their Guns.

Last week, says the Bedford Inquirer, the
citizens were aroused from their peaceful
slumbers by regular pandemonium of
squeaks and shrieks, intermingled with the
rafting banging reports of seemingly myriads
of guns. The Juror was great. Investigation
disclosed a countless number of swans wild
geese, and wild ducks soaring through the air,
and bobbing around the electric lights, while
Bedford's Nimrods were actively engaged in
practicing Workmanship on the wing with
here and there a courageous housewife batting
away at the demoralized strangers with a roll
ing pin.
So far as reported nine swans were captured.
Ed H. Anderson killed four and captured a
MANNED one alive, which he still has in his
possession though he is much like the man
with the elephant. since his captured pet,
which he has in comfortable quarters, is SO
combative that no one can get close to it.
George Stiffier killed three, and Simon Naus
captured smaimed one in his garden.

AN APRIL BATTLE.
As if a million fairies

As if a million fairies
Were beating fairy drums
With soft and gentle tapping,
The RaindrOp Army comesl
The frightened little Sunbeams
All hid behind a cloud
When first they heard the roll-call
OF thunder, deep and loud;
And sorry are the children
Who stay indoors to-day
Because the Raindrop Army
Is marching on its way.
But soon the West Wind whispers:
IN put the troops to rout,''
And in trice the Sunbeams
And children, too, are out,
Ho! no! the Raindrop Army!
Its drums no longer sound.
And hark! the West Winds bugle
Fills all the air around.
Ho! no! the gorgeous banner
The Sunbeams now display,
As all the Kaindrop Army,
Defeated. glide away.
But, obi victorious Sunbeams,
Be sure you don't forget
That April is not over
You may be conquered yeti

THE death of General R. c. Schenck re-
moves one of the prominent figures in our
politics from 1860 to 1874 AS a General
Schenck was not a success; but as politician
he was known as a sturdy and active partisan
and a strong supporter of the Union. While
he has been in retirement for many years. his
record is one that reflects honor on his abilities
and attachment to the cause of democratic in
stitutions.

An Ungrateful Monarch.



1t would be creditable to Bismarck to decline
the Dukedom of Lauenburg, rendered him by
the young Emperor. He can afford it. He
has honors enough. and to take anything at the
hands of his ungrateful monarch would give
him the appearance of a mendicant pushed off
the front steps with basket of broken victuals
in his hands.

7 CAN'T imagine where it can be. The Erie
Crawford district finds it difficult to get out
candidate against Millionaire Culbertson, but
that district does not size up to the mystery.
Watson will have Lee, of Venango. and Lew
Emery of Mexican, against him, but there is
no secret about that.
Craig will not get his second term without
struggle as it is next to certain that Heiner, of
Armstrong, Huff. of Westmoreland, and Beall,
of Indiana will be out for the nomination, but
in such combinations as this the advantage is
often with the incumbent, for each of the new
men would usually rather see the old member
90 back than that any other of them than him
self should get the place, as the old man will
pass out naturally at the end of his second
term.
Townsend, of Beaver, will have against him
his old and very excellent opponents, Mellow
ell of Mercer, ex-Congressman Jackson, of
Lawrence, and Black, OF Butler. but there can
be no scandal about that, nor anything unusu-
ally exciting.
Raw will at least have Acheson, of Washing
ton, and Speer. of Allegheny, against him, but
there will be no specially exciting features

A Dog With Tuberculosis.

MANY attempts to communicate consump-
tion to dogs by feeding them on tubercu-
lous food have failed, but not satisfied with
these. and believing that with dogs as with
men some are disposed to consumption while
others escape it, the doctor pushed his expert
ments in the hope that he would find some of
the animals in physical condition especially
susceptible to tuberculosis. Selecting healthy
dog about months old DR.. Dixon permitted
his stomach to become quite empty. and then
gave him as his first meal some infected cows
meat.
For several days the dogs diet was partly
made up of tuberculous meat, and in short
time he began to grow thin and to present
every physical appearance of consumptive.
dying in few weeks. The post mortem exami-
nation gave every indication of tuberculosis,
and the bealogicaI tests clearly demonstrated
the presence of tubercle bacille in the mesen-
teTic glands.

Animals Get Consumption.

THE result of several hundred experiments
conducted at the laboratory of the Uniyer
sity of PENNSYLVANIA leaves no room for doubt
that consumption can be. and beyond question
very often is, contracted by eating tuberculous
meats 1t was found that calves and pigs fed on
milk infected with tuberculous material from
human source contracted consumption, and
the converse would seem probable.
An especially interesting experiment of DR..
Dixon was upon q dog, says the Philadelphia
Record. That animal has an acid gastric secre-
tion even stronger than that of man, and for
this reason many bacteriologists have selected
him Tor crucial tests of the theory that tuber
culosis is 1ntercommunicable between man and
animals.

Consumption Germs Can be Communicated
From Diseased AnimaIs-A Dog Takes
Tuberculosis.
DR. SAMUEL G. DIXON, Professor of Hygiene
in the University of Pennsylvania, who
has been conducting long series of expert
ments bearing upon consumption and its pre-
venton, has reached some interesting results
which do much to explain many mysterious
phases of that insldious disease. tuberculosis
as it is known. is not confined to man. but is
common among the lower animals, the cow
horse, sheep, pig, rabbit and chicken among
others. and as these are largely used for food
by man the doctors experiments have been
directed to ascertaining whether or not human
beings can contract consumption by partaking
of meat from animals suffering from tuber-
culosis or of milk from COWS with tuberculosis
of the mammary glands.
