Excitement at B!aine's illness.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-SecretarY
Blaine was taken with an attack OF
acute Indigestion while in his Office at
the state department. about IL O'Clock
this morning, and was compelled to s0s-
pend work for the day. He was en-
gagged in a consultation with Gen. Eos
ter on reciprocity matters at the time.
He told Gen Foster he was feeling bad
ly, and at the latter's suggestion DR.. st.
CLAIR, chief of the consular bureau, was
called In to seex him. The latter found
that he was suffering from indigestion,
and with Gen. Fosters assistance
placed him on sofa. A light emetic
was given with favorable results, and
soon after the secretary said he felt
very much relieved.
ln.the meantime the news of his ILL
ness spread through the departments
and caused considerable excitement
and as matter of prudence, Chief
Clerk Brown summoned Medical Direc-
tor Van Reypen, OF the navy, whose
Office is on the floor below the secre-
cary's office, and sent word to Miss
Blaine to come to the department. DR..
Van Rsypen responded Immediately.
and Miss Blaine was soon at her father g
side. Assistant Secretary Wharton
and Chief Clerk Brown also entered the
room for the purpose of rendering any
possible assistance. Mr. Blaine soon
recovered and is now enjoying his usual
health.

Testing Remark That Caused NO End
of Annoyance.
I'm selling goods said successful
canvasser, ''you must not be content
with selling to the people who want
them; you must persuade the rest to
want them Also" Many a crafty sales
man feels that the secret of success lies
in describing his goods so that they
shall seem sail things to all men," and
woe be to the innocent and jocose buyer
who brings down upon himself the
food of such mans pertinacity Says
a traveller in Malta, according to the
Youths Companion:
Going to the quay, we made our pas
sage, by energetic pushing, through the
lines of vendors of cigars, tobacco, lace,
oranges and sponges. One man with
eanaries i'll cages stopped us at the
waters edge with:
''Want canary, sir?"
care they for eating?" I asked him,
to get rid of his importantly and in a
spirit of Mark Twain jocosity.
''Nol nc! They are for singing"
'tAh! if that's what they're for we
don't want Them
A brilliant thought struck the man
and he bolted after us, shouting: "Yes!
yes! They are for eating! Very good
piel Buy the lot!''
Leaving his cages in charge of an as
sistant he made off to tell the canary
vendors that here was a man who ate
canaries and might buy all there were
in Malta, and a fine time we had with
cages until we steamed away.

To the Editor of The Irish Standard.
DEAR SIR Great interest was mani
tested at the last regular meeting of the
A. o. H., at Avoca. The reason of this
more than ordinary interest was occa-
stoned by the reading OF communica-
ton from the state secretary, requesting
the different divisions to cast their votes
on the endowing of a professional chair
in the Catholic University at Washing
ton, D. c. The reading of the commun-
ication seemed to fill the members with
enthusiasm, as the Avoca Division has
long felt desire Of co operating with
the great organization of the A. 0. Ell. +,
in effecting some good work beneficial
to church and country.
Before voting, the members were
called upon to express their views. All
expressed themselves as more than
pleased that an opportunity was now Of
fered wherein tho Hibernians, as an or
ganiza,ion, might effect work bepef-
cial alike to church and country and
permanent in it's results. While belong
ing to "the Ancient Order" the mem

that they ase men Of modern times.
They are alive to the fact that as mem
bers Of Catholic society they should
look to the needs of church and country

terests of either. The appeals of the
bishops Of the country for assistance In
esta blishing Catholic University is
sufficient guarantee that it's establish
ment was keenly felt to be the great
need OF the church Cor this country.
Hence, the proposed project Of endow-
ing professional chair in this institu-
ton of learning, met with the hearty ap-
prevail of the Avoca Division Of the A.
0. II. This Division wishes to go on
record. not only as favoring, but as en-
Enthusiastically endorsing the proposed
project,

Requirements.

The same sanitary conditions APP
ply to the domestic animals as to
man. The apartments for animals
should be large, clearly, sunny
and dry. The confinement Of neat
cattle in closed narrow apartments
tends strongly to produce tuber-
culosis, a disease to which these
enimals are peculiarly susceptible;
and the flesh and milk of such dis
ease6 animals as food is very liable
To transmit the disease to the HUI
man subject. Swine require the
same conditions in regard to clean
Illness, air, food and water as do the
other domestic animals. The too
general practice, borrowed from our
Celtic neighbor across the sea, of
keeping these animals confined in
narrow filthy quarters, burrowing
in the excreta Of other animals or in
the outrescent refuse of the slaugh-
ter house, and fed on Stops and gar
bage, is to be unresrvedly condemn
ed.
The flesh of animals kept under
such conditions is manifestly un-
fit for food; besides the presence of
the pig-style and pig-pen with their
revolving odors about the farm
house is dangerous to health and
life, and an offense to the nostril of
the visitor and the passer-by. The
hog should have an ample range
of pasture, with abundance of grass
and pure water.

At dairy conference in New
York one of the speakers said: ono
man wishes to work for nothing;
but many Of us do, especially those
who work on the farm. There are
men in all professions who are sue
cessful, while others who work more
hours fail. the farmer, as rule,
is unskilled in bis profession. lie
knows more about theology, tariff
and taxation-or thinks he does
than of nitrogen, potash and phos-
phoric acid Many Of them went
into, farming without knowing a
single principle that underlies their
work, and they are plodding along
without baking any effort to learn
a better way. Their fathers kept
cows, but they knew little about
them. They kept no record of sales
or expenses, and therefore did not
know whether they were making or
losing money. AS rule, they were
losing it. Many of US are travelling
on the same path, while some Of us
have investigated and had new
routes arranged and graded.
Chow many farmers can tell me
of what milk is composed-its per
cent OF water and solids, what those
solids are, their relation one to the
Other, and their values? Every
keeper ola COW should know all this,
and may very easily learn if he will.
Butter fat being the only solid in
milk Of much value, it is necessary
that we test each COW that this value
may be ascertained. We cannot give
all the COWS the same ration each
day-fve o'clock one morning and
eight O'Clock the next, and that ra-
ton wholly wrong, it may be. We
must study the chemistry of the
foods we employ as well as in the in
dividuality Of our COWS that we may
know when, what and how to feed
each one. Do not change the posi-
ton OF COW when in the stable or
change her mixer.

Breed and feed are to COW like
two wings to a bird-one alone is of
little use, says Prof. Robertson.
In selecting a calf for dairy sire,
choose one from a lank, rough COW,
and never from a smooth, fat, hand
some one. Study the calls anteced-
ents and see that he is backed by
good producers on both sides. This
course will enable one to breed up
the milk and butter qualities.
The calf born September 1 and
December | is the best to raise. 1t
gets good start before winter, win
ters well, and in the spring grows
finely.
1t should have its mothers milk
the first three or four days, as it is
designed by nature to set the calf's
system in proper condition.
After it is a week old it should
have sweet skim-milk, and be fed
dry, ground oats. Eating the
ground oats produces saliva to aid
digestion, ensures healthy system
and stimulates growth and good
health.

The first stage of drunkenness is
disorganization of the stomach, and
this is produced much more quickly
by subjecting it to the irritation of
two or three stimulante at the same
time than by continuing to drink
the same for q much longer period.
Again, the stomach of person
accustomed to taking alcohol usu-
ally becomes Injured to whatever
may be his favorite and most fire.
quent drink, and much more of this
would be required to make him
drunk than of any other. But if q
totally strange mixture of more or
less familiar intoxicants be sud-
denly swallowed the shock to the
stomach is so great that it will in
some cases produce not only intox-
ication, but rapid insensibility, and
even death if the dose is strong
enough. Some forms Of alcohol
are singularly antagonistic and
therefore produce this collapse of
the stomach, and hence of the whole
system, much more quickly than
others.
Perhaps the most fatal is a mix
ture of equal parts of whisky and
strong stout, a draught of which
has been known to kill 8 man more
quickly than an overdose of laud-
anum would have done.
