BLACK MILK FROM A cow,
A Staid and Respectable Bovine Develops
Remarkable Freak.

Rupert Hansborough, of the firm of
Crowley, Hansborough & Co., leather
dealers, of Chillicothe, is the possessor
OF a natural curiosity in the shape of
cow which gives black milk. She is on
Mr. Hansborough's farm, situated a
few miles out of town, and can be seen
at any time grazing IN his pasture, and
at milking time her singular yield will
shown to any one desiring to behold it.
Of mixed breed, Jersey and Durham,
with a strain of Ayrshire, she was
cayed on the farm and was the second
bern to her mother, whose milk pre-
sented no peculiarly, and whose first
calf, heifer, still gives an abundance
of natural tinted milk.
Mollie, as she is called, is pretty
little COW with nothing unusual in her
appearance, and has already born five
young ones, which have thrlven well
on her black milk. 1t produces fair
amount of cream, which is trIhe
lighter in color, and which, when
churned, makes butter resembling Goa
tar, but as palstable as though OF golden
yellow. Mr.. Hansborough says that al
first they were afraid 10 drink or use
her milk in any way, but overcoming
their prejudice now enjoy it as much as
any other.
He has received numbers of offer:
tor her both from the proprietors o
museums and stockmen, but declined
them from hopes that she will yet trans
init her peculiarly to some of her pro

Floating Carleus of Cashmere.

The thousands of floating gardens on
tho rivers OF Cashmere are formed by
long sedges which are woven together
in the form Of a gigantic mat. These
sedge grasses, flags, stalks, lilies. etc.,
are woven on the river or lake banks
while their roots are still growing in
the slime underneath; the required
amount Of earth is then superimposed
upon the mat; the stalks ore then cut
and the mat and its load is full

usually about twenty by fifty yards in
extent, seldom larger, the full depth of
the mat and lis earthly covering being
about three feet.

The ardor with which the study of
the causation of diphtheria has been
pursued among those who are engaged
iu that branch of medical science has
been at last rewarded by the discovery
OF the true diphtheria bacillus The
most eminent bacteriologists in the

the fact. =
Doctor Klein, the eminent English
bacteriologist. has published an elab-
crate report in the nineteenth annual
report OF the local governments. in
which he enters into the details of his
methods of investigation and his tests.
His paper contains several facts OF
prime importance, knowledge OF
which should be generally known.
Among them are the following Some
of the lower animals, particularly
COWS and house cats, are susceptible
to the disease, and instances are cited
in which the domestic cat has com
municated the infection to the family
to which it belonged, with fatal re-
suits. He has also demonstrated the
presence Of the infection in the milk
OF cows previously inoculated wish

he tried it. He loaded the Union Pa.

Nervous headache is, perhaps. the
most difficult OF NIL to describe or to
treat, inasmuch as ii is not disease
but q symptom, the cause of which
may be in some remote part of the
system. One form of nervous head.
ache. which is unmistakable- though
not always understood as such, con-
lists of a dull grinding pain at the
back of the head near the base Of the
brain, where the nerves Of the spinal
cord enlarge and ramifv for the forma-
ton of the brain. Pain in this local
ity, frequently down the neck, is o
sure indication of impaired nervous
action, and should be treated accord
ingly. In another direction nervous
trouble produces violent headache
that is from the medium OF the stom-
ach. With many people any deep or
sudden emotion such az grief, fear,
or even JOY may partially or entirely
paralyze the action Of the stomach
there is an utter absence of appetite,
and the serious headache which re-
suits is simply the indication Of the
trouble. When it is removed, and the
stomach resumes its accustomed &C
ton, the headache will disappear. -
