PLEURo-pNEumoxIAIN STATE.

Secretary of Agriculture Rusk in his
annual report gives some interesting
statistics on pleuro-pneumonia among cat
tie in New Jersey. The report says: in
New Jersey the active work has been
almost entirely confined to Hudson county.
The diseased herds discovered have not
been numerous, and both affected ard ex
posed animals have been promptly si4ught
cred. From June so, 1889, to July /, 1890,
there were inspected ia New Jersey S.G24
herds, containing Ga. los hsa / Of cattle. OF
this number 40, 305 were re EXAMINED and
8, $50 were tagged with numbers and regis
tered upon the books Of the bureau. There
were tsenty-nine new herds found affected
with pleuro-pneumonia during the year,
and these herds contained 405 animals.
~forty.six Of which were pronounced diseas-
ed at the time the inspections were made.
1t has been found necessary to disinfect
1877 stables, steckyards or other premises
and also to make post-morte1n examina-
tions upon the careasses OF 10, TAI bovine
animals, of which eighty-nine were found
diseased With pleuro-pneumonia. The
total expenses IN New Jersey from July /,
1889. to June 30, 1890, we're $50, S2s.02, of
which sf2, S96 % was paid for cattle pur-
chased for slaughter because they were
either diseased or had been exposed.

POOR BLIND TOM.

Poor Blind Tom, "the cratic musical
genius Of a decade ago, is driveling away
the remaining months of an eventful life
at a private retreat at st. Marks place,
New York.
He has been for some time an idiot, and
now consumption has set its iron grasp
upon his once tough frame, and his days
are numbered. blind Tom" earned in
his day something like half a million dol
lars. To day he is comparatively a pau
per and the wonder is what has become of
the fortune ne made, as be was always
in charge of a guardian and was never al
lowed to spend it.
Judge Andrews, of the Supreme Court,
lately confirmed a report vf Referee
Jerome Buck, allow ing the estate of Dan
iel P. Holland $4,000 for services rendered
and necessaries furnished the mad mus
ician during the life OF Holland.
Mrs. Elise Bethnne, the committee having
charge of Tom, vigorously opposed the
confirmation Of the report. The judge
observed that it was sadly apparent that
there won d be nothing left for the main
~tenance of the poor idiot after all claims
we're paid.
When Colonel Bethune died a few years
ago he left Tom to the care of his wife
Elise. She ia time was appointed a CON-
mittee by the court to maintain Tom.
Soon howeyer ha hroka dnwp in baaIth
became dangerously insane and was placed
under restraint. Alliast summer Tom had
delighted audiences in the house adjacent
to his retreat in st. Marks place. He
played necessarily upon the piano, guitar
and other melodious instruments Now he
can play no more. His frama has shrunk-
en- to a mere shadow, his fingers have be-
come palsied and he cannot evolve the
sweet strains which have enchanted thous-
ands.
The wonder is what has become of the
money which Colonel Bethune was OBJ
liged, by mandate of the court, to deposit
for Toms maintenance. 1t was supposed
to be 25 per cent. of the net proceeds of
the entertainments given. That would
give Tom at least s125, 900 IN his own
right. There is now, it is authoritatiyely
stated, less than 5000 in the exchequer.
The $1,000 judgment entered will
make an awful cash 10 the fund.
Present indications are that Blind Tom,
who earned over half a million dollars, will
die in the poorhonss and be buried in pot
ter's field.

FRIED PORK.

Fried pork with cioa n gravy, as served
in a Jersey farmhouse, may well rank
among breakfast delicacies. The pork is
to be fried thin and crisp and set in the
oven, the superloas fat poured from the
pan and the. remaining gravy diluted with
a cupfui OF rich cream, stirred aud allowed to
come to a boil, then poured over the pork.
Ham may be cooked in the same way, and
the buckwheat cakes accompanying either
of these dishes are served in a great bowl
of hot cream. A very good cream gravy
may be made by diluting what is reserved
of the pork gravy in the pan With a cupful
of milk, or half milk and half water; let
boil, season. and add a teaspoonful OF
corn starch blended in cold milk; mix
smooth to the consistency OF cream, pour
over the pork, and serye.-Good House.

public; in the other he reserved himself for
his family. In this latter light he Will be

Architects will begiu earlier than usual
this winter upon spring work in both East
err and Western cities, and it appears from
best authorities that as much work will be
entered upon next spring as last. Neither
builders or architects entertain any other
opinion thar that there will be as much
building activity this year as there was
during the past year, and that enterprise
will be greatly encouraged By the moder-
ate prices Of all kinds of building mate

settled, SO that there will be no afterciaps
when work shall have been begun.

aoW TO LOOK WHEN ASLEEP.

Al authority warns yo.ng women that
the pretty way of going to sleep with one
hand tucked under the cheek is not wise.
1t makes a fold in the soft skin hat by
and by helps the wrinkles. The same
oracle insists that at the moment when
sleep is d descending the face should be conn.,
posed into peaceful lines, the mouth gently
closed to breathe only through tie nose
and the lids slowly lowered over the drow-
sy eyes. If this method is cultivated in
early life the jaw-dropping tendency of old
age will be much longer prevented. As
we spend a third of every t~wenty-four
hours in sleep, which makes il the aggre-
gate a large proportion Of ones lie, it
would seem reasonable that ones facial
condition during the time should be OF
importance.

TIN AND sILvEit ORR.

Boise Democrat: Jack Henderson
while prospecting in the hills the

piece Of mineral substance which he

anything like il before, though they
knew il was neither iron, silver nor
gold. Bringing il TO town he ex-
hibited it to Mr.. Baxter, the as
sayer, who at once pronounced it
tin ore Of superior quality. lie also
observed to the finder, "You dis
cover vein Of ore like that a foot
in width and you needn't hunt for
silver or gold" The spot where
found is a deep triangular ravine
whose surroundings indicate min
eral zone. The appearance Of the
ore shows that it could not have
Travelled far or been long broken
from the ledge. Mr.. Henderson
feels confident that he can trace the
fioa; up to the ledge, and will return
in short time to try to do so. Tin
ore has also been found in Owyhee
county, the Democrat is informed,
which coupled with the above fact
are the only two known instances o.
it's discovery in Idaho.
Mr.. Henderson also brought in a
sample Of silver ore found in the
same vicinity, which has given ar
assay of two hundred ounces. TIL,
ledge, which he traced three miles
was very narrow on the surface, bu
at depth of six or eight feet it hao
widened To almost two feet.
Idaho undoubtedly possesses al
of the rare and precious metal
found in other States and Terrific
ries, many Of which have probably
been thrown aside as worthless b,
prospectors through ignorance o
name and value. IL samples O
such ores were procured and KEEP
where they could be examined b,
prospectors and their properties an,
