The veteran of the Indiana Expert
ment Station has been making a
special study of the diseases of horses,
aud horse owners find Bulletin No.
80 of that Station of special value to
them. 1t treats especially of the in
tluenZa, the synonyms of which are
epidemic catarrh, epizootic catarrhal
fever, panZOotic catarrhal fever, dis
temper and epizootic. The disease
has been recognized in various forms
for centuries, and prevails to- a G eater
or lesser extent at all times and at all
periods of the year, and in all
countries where horses are used. 1t
is defined as being essentially a con-
tagious and infectious febrile disease,
due to the Introduction of a specific
micro-Organism.f The uesnature of
this organism, however, is as yet
little understood, and is the subject of
present sci'httic enquiry and investi-
cation. me disease shows itself in
man, ems, of which the catarrhal,
here there il only a discharge from
the muces membrane lining the nasal
passages, throat and wind pipe, is the
most common Laryngitis (sore throat)
ana epizootIc cellulites (pink eye) are
other forms of influenza. The BuIIe-
tin gives the symptoms of each of
these forms, as well as directions for
treatment, which are too long TO
quote here. Horsemen may receive
copies of it by applying to the Di-
rector of the Station.

Farmers who attempt to grow their
own vegetable seeds should only use
Tor that purpose their very richest
land, and should give the seed plants
the very highest degree of cultivation.
Cultivated vegetables, as rule, are
further removed from their original
or wild" forms by the natural de-
velOpment due to high culture than
are the cereals and other ordinary
farm crops. Therefore, the condi-
tons of soil and cultivation under
which vegetables are grown have
much To do in fixing the value of the

Sermon making once upon tim" was
a profession. To-day it is a dying art.
The second hand book shops were th, nj
poriuns. Twenty years ago d-"ler of
any position retained a staff of sermon
manufacturers. A subject was given or
text selected and in from II to "a hours
the manuscript was ready for the preach
ers. If he was in want of ali up to date
discourse, half a guinea to a guinea was
the charge. Or if a manuscript i'll stock
suited the purpose the price was from
half crown to five shillings.
1t was the practice in the forties to
keep a supply on hand. These were
pigeonholed in alphabetical order accord-
ing to theme or according to subject.

But the latest phase in the science is to
build up sermons by mental absorption.
1t is no rare occurrence, we are assured,
for a preacher to make it his daily task
to peruse printed sermon by a suggest

it is only the skeleton that is taken. At
Others it is body and soul that is at

Another sermon monger is the elegant
extract man. A late well known and
appreciated London preacher of this order
was vandal in such matters. He would
not take the trouble to write out his eX-
tracts. He would cut whole pages or
Snppets out of his book and paste them
on his manuscript When the other day
his books came under the hammer there
were great searchings of heart about their
lmperfections.
From inquiries it would appear that
The Americans are now the largest con-
5nners in the sermon trade. They are

shipping them largely to the most out of

callers quite expect a rise before long in

Food Before Sleep.

Many persons, though not actually sick,
keep below par in strength and general
tone and am of the opinion that fast
ing during the long interval between sup
per and breakfast, and especially the
complete emptiness of the stomach dur
ing sleep, adds greatly to the amount of
emaciation, sleeplessness, and general
weakness we so often meet. Physiology
teaches that in the body there is a per-
petual distintegration of tissue, sleeping
Or waking; it is, therefore, logical to be-
lieve that the supply of nourishment
should be somewhat continuous. As
bodily exercise is suspended during sleep,
with wear and tear correspondingIy di-
minished, while digestion, assimilation,
and nutritive activity continue as usual,
the food furnished during this period
adds more than is destroyed, and in
creased weight and improved general
vigor is the result. All beings except
man are governed by natural instinct, and
every being with stomach, except man,
eats before sleep, and even the human
infant, guided by the same instinct, sucks
frequently day and night, and if its
stomach is empty for any prolonged pc
riod, it cries long and loud. Digestionre-
quires no interval of rest, and if the
amount of food during the "a hours is,
in quantity and quality, not beyond
the physiological limit, it makes no
hurtful difference to the stomach how
few or how short are the intervals be-
tween eating, but it does make vast
difference in the weak and emacated
ones welfare to have modicum of food
IN the stomach during the time of sleep,
that, instead of being consumed by
bodily action, it may during the interval
improve the lower system. | am fully
satisfied that We're the weakly. the emaci-
ated, and the sleepess to nightly take a
light lunch or meal of simple, nutritious
food before going to bed for a prolonged
period, nine in ten of them would be
thereby lifted into better standard of
health. In my speciality nose and throat
find that by directing bowl of bread
and milk, a saucer of oatmeal and cream
before going to bed for few months, a
surprising increase in weight, strength
and general tone results; on the contrary,
persons who are too stout or plethoric
should follow an opposite course-Dr.

Eirst Martyr to Electriciiy.

The first death in the world, so far as
we know, from artificially conducted
Electricity, was that of Professor Rich

what was practically the first lightning
rod and was killed by it. He ran an iron

flash of lightning. The professors APP
pliance worked well and he was found

An Englshman put on a pair of wooden
stockings over his silk ones on a cold
winter day. AT night he pulled the stock
:ngs off without separating them and was
astonished by the cracking noise and
even the sparks of electricity which fol-
lowed. When he drew the silk stockings
out of the woolen ones the electrical at
traction was SO manifest that the stock
ings would incline toward one another
when held some distance apart. 1t hap
pened that the silk stockings were black
and the woolen ones of light color. but
when he tried the experiment with both
stockings of the same color there was no
electrical manifestation.
