FARM AND HOME.
Modern Medicine.


First they pumped him full of virus from some
mediocre cow,
Lest the smallpox might aSsail him, and leave
plt-markS on his brow:
Then one day a bulldog bit him-he was gun
ming down at QuOgue-
And they filled his veins in Paris with an ex-
tract of mad-dog;
Then he caught tuberculosis, SO they took him
to Berlin,
And injected half gallon of bacille into him;
Well his friends were all delighted at the quick
ness of the cure.
Till he caught the typhoid fever. and speedy
death was sure:
Then the doctors with some sewage did inocu-
late a hen,
And injected half its gastric juice into his abdo-
men;
But as soon as he recovered. as Of course he had
to do,
There came along rattlesnake and bit his
thumb in two;
Once again his veins were opened to receive
about gill
it still;
To prepare him for voyage in an Asiatic sea,
New blood was pumped into him from lep' rous
old Cbinee;
Soon his appetite had vanished, and he could
not eat at all,
So the virus of dyspepsia was injected in the
Fall;
But his blood was so diluted by the remedies
he'd taken
That one day he laid him down and died. and
never did awaken;
With the Brown sequard elixir though they
tried resuscitation,
He never showed symptom of reviving ANNA
tiOn
Yet his doctor still could save him, Che persist

If he only could inject little life into his
veins.

Thirty-slx Men Against 8 5000.
From the Kansas City Times.

From the Kansas City lines. .
This story Of how .thirty-six brave
rout and rapid fight 5000 brave soldiers
on the other side is from the lips of a
private who fought through the stirring
scenes of the sixties and came out with
an honorable discharge.
In 1862 Hanover Junction, little
town between the forks of the North
Ann and South Ann rivers, was held
by body of troops from Longstreet's
brigade. There were about 5000 of
them, and as the post was vantage
point, about the same number of troops
were sent from Burnside's army to at
tack the place. Among the first to
cross the North Ann River was Private
McCartv of New York regiment, now
a resident of Kansas City. With him
were thirty -four members of the same
company commanded by Fitzpatrick.
The 5000 defenders Of the post was
drawn up in battle file some distance
from the river.
Hardly had Kilpatrick's men reached
the bank when he commanded them to
charge, and the little troop of thirtysix
went charging directly in the face of
5000 troops drawn up in line of battle.
The sight of the little body charging
alone was too much for the nerves of the
5000 raw troops and they fed. Unused
to the articles of war, they thought
there must be some trick in it, and
they cut at once for the taller timber.
The little troop of thirty-six had &C
complished without the loss of man
what might probably have taken 5000
men to do.

Sitting Bulls Pride.

During visit of Sitting Bull and some
of his braves to Washington several
years ago it was decided to take photo
graph of them in the Capitol. The
photographer got his camera ready,
and the group was arranged. Several
of the Indians bad on their hats, and
through one of the interpreters the
photographer suggested that the picture
would look better with heads uncovered.
The Indians were loath to remove their
hats, but finally after much persuasion,
they consented to appear in the picture
bareheaded. Only Sitting Bull refused.
He had on tall silk hat of ancient date
probably 'of the vintage of '79'-and
he was evidently impressed with his
own appearance.
The photographer appealed to him,
through the interpreter, to remove the
hat, but Sitting Bull made no reply
He merely folded his arms, threw him
self back On his dignity" and struck a
heroic attitude. He presented a most
ludicrous appearance, but he swelled
with evident pride and dignity, and said
not a word. The photographer saw it
was useless, and so the picture was
taken. In the group Of forty or fifty
Indians there appeared only one with
covered head. That one was the old
chief. Sitting Bull.

Taking Out the Curls.
From q Boston Special.


The colored women of this city have
learned that it is possible to take the
kink out of their hair, and there is
quite sensation over the new discov-
cry.
The idea was introduced bv young
colored woman from Virginia She her
self has a glossy bang and back hair as
straight as that of the late Sitting Bull
She says her own hair was formerly
crisp and kinkv, but that an old Cana
dian woman told her how to make it
straight, and this information she is
now imparting for considerations
The customer is told first to wash her
hair, and come with it we'll dried. She
does so, and then the operation begins.
A preparation that is amber-colored
and of the consistency of cream is taken
from large jar and rubbed thoroughly
into the hair, and where it was entirely
lusterless before it begins to assume a
gloss. This is rubbed so thoroughly
into the scalp that none of the hairs can
fail to have received a portion. Then
vigorous brushing is resorted to, and
the short hair begins to lengthen. If it
were an inch long before, it is now fully
two inches long, and if before it had
been done up in what old-fashioned
Southern people term "plaits, it is now
ready to be rolled into loose twist or
loose coil at the back. The operation
takes about four hours, and is per-
manent In its effects. 1t gives the col
ored woman a very Indian-like appear
ance, and the few who will admit hav-
ing been treated claimed they did it
merely to make the labor Of combing
their hair so much the easier One of
them said: zone thing know, and that
is that it is terribly convenient to have
straight hair. / never before realized
what blessing it was. Before, | dread
ed the task of combing it, and now
don't mind it at ALL" Hair straighten-
ing promises to be the fad for the win
ter among the colored ladies of Boston.

A Great Contrast.
From Harper's Weekly.

Bismarck is quoted by his Boswell
Busch as saying: "But for me three
great wars would not have been fought,
$4,000 men would not have been killed,
or their parents, brothers, sisters and
widows have put on mourning, and yet
that is what [ have done, with Gods
help" If Bismarck, for doing this,
still finds admirers of his career as
"War Minister" what affection will not
be given to one who preserves not
$1,000 lives in one lifetime, but 800, 600
perhaps every year! The importance
of DR.. koch's discoveries to his coun-
trymen alone may be measured by
recalling that. in forty years Prussia
alone lost .}43 1858 lives by cholera The
average number of deaths by consump-
ton every year in Prussia represents
$50 In the German Empire the
average number of deaths every wear
from Tuberculosis of the lungs is 100.
600 people. In Berlin, during the ten
years from 1878 to 1887, there died from
consumption alone sc, S32 people, Berlin
and New York being about equal in
proportion. These figures are eloquent
testimony to the importance of DIR.
Koch's discovery, particularly SO as the
ravages of this disease in so MANY other
countries is greater than in Garmany.

Poison-proof Animals.
From Popular Science.

Neither differences of organization in
animals nor in the constitution of the
poisonous substance generally afford
any clew for Interpreting an exceptional
want of effect. Unaccountable is the
immunity of rabbits against belladonna
leaves (Atropd beLladon,aa, deadly night
shade). You may feed them with
belladonna for weeks without observ-
ing the least toxic symptoms. The
meat of such animals, however, proves
POISONOUS to any one who eats it,
producing the same symptoms as the
plant. Pigeons and various other
herbivora are also to some degree safe
from the effects of this poison, while in
warm-blooded carnivora it causes
paralysis and asphyxia. In frogs the
effect is different one, consisting of
spasms. The meat of goats which had
fed on hemlock has sometimes occa-
stoned poisonous effects. Chickens are
nearly hardy against nux vomica and
the extremely dangerous alkaloid,
strychnine, contained in it, while in the
smallest amount it is fatal poison to
rodents. More remarkable yet in this
respect is the immunity of Choloepus
Hofnadnni. kind Of sloth, living on the
island of Ceylon, which, when given ten
grains of strychnine, was not much
affected. Pigeons are possessed Of high
immunity from morphine, the chief
alkaloid of opium, as we'll as from
belladonna. Eight grains were required
to kill pigeon, not much less than the
mortal dose for a man. Cats are
extremely sensitive to foXglove Dig
ddtis p5L1puredl, which on the contrary
may be given to rabbits and various
birds in pretty large doses.
