TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE.

A Dread Disease Its Consideration an
Important Matter with Ali Stockmen. E.
tuberculosis in herd of cattle-es-
pecially in valuable herd - is a very
serious matter, says writer in the
Country Gentleman; serious not only
from the immediate consequences, but
more from the prospective injury.
Once in herd, and no one can tell
where it will stop; indeed, according to
our best authorities, even the herdsman
in such cases is not without consider.

importance of this subject.
If, as now seems demonstrated, tuber.
culosis is caused by microbes, which are
coughed up with the sputa, and are thus
easily scattered to new fields-the lungs
of other animals yet healthy-surely
then, in view of the terrible fatality of
this malady, no probable case even
should be permitted to remain where it
would endanger other yet healthy
animals. The fact that whole herds in
the United States have been sacrificed
to such dallying with this fearful
plague emphasizes the importance of
more decided action. If one of nv
cattle were to show y chronic cough
especially were this attended with ap-
parent i'll health, / should certainly
isolate such an animal at once from all
others in the herd; should thoroughly
disinfect the stall where it had pre-
viously stood by most thorough scrub

case it were bull, should not use him
any more till he recovered. This would
be the least should think of doing.

such an animal at once. closely

sure that this disease is in many herds
in the country. Every one should know
of its symptoms and its terrible fatality.
Every stockman should be so thoroughly
warned that in every case of its appear
ance active measures should be taken
to thoroughly stamp it out.
We do not positively know as yet that
this disease is hereditary; yet the proba-
bilities are so strong in that direction
that every wise breeder will hesitate
before he uses any animal with
chronic cough. AS Mr.. Warfield recent

two inches thick, and some almost as

THEY MIGHT BREAK AWAY,
II the National Rolling Mills Refuses the
Scale, ft Might Become Nom Union.

If the National Rolling Mills Refuses the
Scale. it Might Become Nom Union.
Indications point to more troubles ahead
for the Amalgamated Association down
McKeesport way. The management of the
National Rolling Mill is prepared to give
its men even better terms than they would
obtain under the scale, but it will not sign
it. 1t will sign an agreement to pay its
employees Amalgamated rates; guarantee
them steady work all the year round (Which
the scale does not); and it will recognize
mill committees to adjust grievances, etc.,
but it will not bind itself under the terms
desired by the Amalgamated Association.
On the other hand, the men, though recog-
nizing that they will be better off under the
agreement than under the scale, are pre-
pared to stand by the Association, for the
reason that should they, after working for a
time under the agreement, decide to quit
and seek for work in a union mill they
would be tabooed as "bIacklegs" and find it
hard to get work. So, say they, they will
take no chances.
1t would seem as if the management of the
mill was resolute in resisting the invitation
to sign the scale. In this event, and should
a heightened struggle ensue, there are signs
that some of the men would break away and
take all chances thereafter, as consequence
of the disafection now rife in the body.

Sensible Hints for Summer.

To the many hundreds of families who do
not find it convenient to leave the city for
the summer months the following hints Will
be found valuable. Avoid exposure to the
sun as iar as possible; do as little cooking as
you can, thereby keeping your house and
yourself cool, and the best summer drink by
all odds is buttermilk. Cover your floors
with cool and clean mating, hang lace cur
tains to your windows, thereby letting in the
air and keeping out the flies, and where cur
tains are not used hang window shades that
will exclude the light and heat. During
the day wear neat gingham dress and for
evening put on a cool satine wrapper, bathe
every day and get your hosiery, underwear,
fans, etc., from Arthur Schondelmyer &
Co.. who have mattings at &c and 10c per
yard, lace curtains at 81 a pair and upward,
window shades at Csc apiece and upward,
ginghams, percales and satines from 1Oc to
25c per yard. By observing the above hints
you will have no trouble getting through
the summer. Come to 6S and 20 Ohio st.

goods in Allegheny. IT'S
