vance indefinitely, and is fatal early or
late, according to the Importance TO life
OF the organ involved. Actinomycosis
hs usually fatal in the long run IL not cut
short by treatment. And by DR.. Paquin:
"The disease is dangerous and probably
fatal in the vast majority OF cases, IL
not in all cases, at some time or other"
All agreed in their testimony that whore
the disease was purely local, and could
be excised with knife, then 1t Is cura-
BILE; but that IL any Of the germs have
reached the internal organs, then 1t Is
incurable, and Drs. Casewell and Baker
testified in this regard that they had
made a number OF pOst-mortem exam
nations of animals alleged to have been
cured by the removal of the external
diseased lump, but in every case in the
internal organs had been found the
nodules containing the germs OF the dis
ease, showing that a cure had not been
effected, as supposed; and DR.. Horne
testified that he had never known case
In a thirty years experience that had
been cured. Though the lump had been
removed and the sore healed up, every
case in his experience had developed the
disease anew.
All of the witnesses for the defense
agreed that actinomycosis is danger
ously contagious or dangerously infec-
tious disease in cattle, which has been
demonstrated by the incubation OF
cattle by the pus discharge containing
the germs taken from diseased animal,
and also taken from man; that the fact
of the inocubility Of the disease deter
mines that it is q contagious disease,
and that disease which can be commu-
nicated from one animaFto another by
artificial incubation can also be con-
tracted by natural incubation under
favorable circumstances. Upon this
question Prof. Law testified as follows:
THAT the disease is contagious Is self
evident, since it depends on the plant
ing of the germ in the animal tissues,
affecting, as it so frequently does, the
region OF the face, mouth and tongue;
that the disease is dangerous is unques-
tionable, as in the absence of treatment
usually goes on to a fatal issue, by the
interference Of the feeding and mastica-
ton or by the extension of the malady
to vital internal organs. The victim Of
actinomycosis Of the face, mouth, throat,
windpipe or lungs drops the actinomy-
cotic cells from their raw surfaces or
with the saliva or eXpectorations. Those
having the growth on the stomach, in
testines or liver drop similar actinomy-
cotic cells with the dung, and these get
ting on the food or water are taken in
by other animals and grow on any sus
ceptible wound or abraded surface on
which they may fall.
Is the flesh OF animals afflicted with
actinomycosis fit for human food? On
this topic there was no difference Of
opinion among the experts introduced
by the defense, all of them unequivo-

comes necessary for the defendants to
prove in order to justify their actions in
the premises Is that the disease, actino-
mycosis, is a dangerously infectious or
dangerously contagious malady, and one
great element constituting the danger is
the liability that the meat Of animals
containg the germs OF the disease may
communicate the disease to human be-
ings who eat 1t.

mony as to facts having direct and

sue that could be introduced in a legis-
lative examination or an extra-judicial
investigation was not admissible as evil
dence in the trial of the cause in ques-
ton; consequently all the facts which
could have been brought to the attention
of the jury were not permitted to be in
troduced; for instance, witness for the
plaintiff testified to the thoroughness Cf
the meat-inspcction system in the abat-
toirs at Berlin and that cattle affected
with actinomycosis are not condemned
for food in Germany.
The defense was not permitted by the
court to show by witnesses brought there
for the purpose that the facts regarding
the use of cattle affected with actinomy
COSTS in Germany for food, are that the
carcasses of such cattle are classed as
fourth class or diseased meat, and are
sold as such to the poorer classes of
people, who cannot afford to pay the
prices charged for healthy meat, and 1t
could also have been shown that OF the
273 recorded cases Of this disease in
man about 80 per cent. Of these cases
are recorded in Germany.

cally expressing their opinion under
oath that the flesh of any animal affect
ed with this disease is unfit for and daH-
gerous for human consumption. They
all testified that tho disease had been
found affecting all of the essential in
.ternal organs of the animal as well as Of
men, including the lungs and the liver,
the spleen and the intestines; that
wherever the germ actinomyces found
a favorable spot to attach itself new
colonies of the disease would spring up,
producing new tumors and OSCILLATIONS;
that while it is possible for the germ to
be taken into the alimentary canal, in
testines, and stomach through the food
eaten, and into the lungs through the
inspiration of the air, it is impossible for
the germs to reach the liver and spleen
except through the circulation OF the
blood; hence, if it can reach the liver
and spleen through the circulation Of
the blood, it may reach any portion of
the animal anatomy; consequently they
considered that when the animal was
affected, it being impossible to tell to
what extent the disease had been pro-
mulgated throughout the carcass, the
meat Of such an animal is unfit for hui
man food

Flowers In London Mark cts.

The sale Of flowers by auction is
one of the sights of Covent Garden,
says Good Words. The stands in the
the wholesale market are furnished
over night and the building is open
for private buyers at o'clock next
morning, but all their business. is
over at O'Clock. The visitor who
attends these purely trade functions
has the advantage Of very charming
flower show, covering something like
three quarters Of an acre of space,
upon which are arranged tier above
tier of poisoning plants, sometimes
extending up and down, in and out,
TO a total frontage Of 700 yards.
The auctioneer, who takes his ros-
trum at 10 o'clock, addresses himself
to the men who are called "higglers,
a kind Of middle-men, who purchase
the flowers in lots and sell them to
the small retailers. The flower girls
can not afford to trade until the gen.
eral customers have had their pick of
the choicest wares, but, taught by a
sharp experience, they are able to
drive very smart bargains and know
precisely what to purchase.
The pale-faced children of the al
leys and by-streets Of this densely
populated west central district dill
gently haunt the purlieus in the
spring. They have heard of green
fields and buttercups and daisies, per-
haps have been told that the swal-
low and cuckoo hasten over the sea
to spend a merry summer in English
meadows and copses; but the punches
and baskets of flowers which here fill
them with delight and wonderment
are the only evidence Of such pleasant
things hitherto vouchsafed TO them.
They are to them tokens Of an I'M
known world. The daffodils, being
brightly golden and OF respectable
size, strike them most, as they very
likely strike all classes Of visitors.
When March is going out like roar
ing lion, and the London streets are
swept by hail and rain, it is pleasant
to turn into Covent Garden and pass
these flowers in review. The wonder
is how such quantities of violets,
primroses and daffodils can be col
lccted.

ana DR.. a. Vogel, veterinary surgeon
Of Chicago.
On the question Of the disease being
dangerously contagious or infectious
Drs. Billings, Schwarzkopff and vogel,
for the plaintiffs, expressed their individ-
ual opinions, under oath, that the dis
ease was not contagious, consequently
not dangerous, but on cross examination
each admitted that the disease, acti-
nomycosis, Is due to germ or parasite,
which had been by various scientists
taken from the pus discharged from one
animal and inoculated into another ami
NAL, and there produced the disease con-
tanning similar germs, and Dr. Schwarz-
kopff admitted that he had, while expert
menting with the disease, inoculated an
animal and produced tumor containing
the germs actinomyces.
Each OF these gentlemen expressed
the opinion that all cattle contract the
disease by infection from q germ when
taken into the mouth on grass or grain
or other food, but failed on cross exam
ination to answer why, IL the germ when
originally on grass or grain would when
taken into the mouth Of an animal at
feet the animal and produce tumor, "a
similar germ, being Identical In struct-
urc and nature, found In the pus dis
charged from diseased animal, when
transmitted accidentally to the abraded
surface of the flesh OF another animal,
would not communicate the disease. DIR.
Hickman was of the opinion that the
disease could be transmitted from one
animal 10 another by incubation, and
under certain conditions was contagious,
while DIR. Bourschiedt was also OF the
opinion that under some circumstances
the disease was infectious.
Regarding the question as TO whether
the disease, actinopycosis, is danger

pressed in the testimony Of all the ex-
perts for the defense, which may be we'll

IT is wrong to put the dough for
bread in a hot oven. The oven should
only be slightly warm, and then
heated gradually. This plan has
been tested by a London baker, who
asserts that the intense heat, sud-
denly striking the surface Of the
dough, kills the yeast influence, which
should make the bread rise. He tried
an experiment by having the dough
put in the oven OF gas stove,
slightly warmed, and gradually in
creased the heat till it reached the
degree at which bread bakes. The
result was simply wonderful. Bread
baked in this fashion rises to amaz-
ing size, and the bread is Of spongy
lightness.

hut He Told u Hair Truth When He Was
Dying.


Burrows was, without doubt, the
most notorious liar Nevada will ever
shelter, says the New York Sun. His
fame as a liar spread for hundred
miles around, and men used TO stop
at our camp TO get look at him. He
wasn't wicked man, and he had no
malice about him, but he was a
natural born liar. He lied about his
father, his mother, his wife, brothers,
sisters, and everybody else, and for
every hour in the day he had new
falsehood.
One day lot of earth and rock
caved in on him and inflicted fatal
injuries, and number of us knocked
off work to be with him in his last
moments. Lying there, with only an
hour OF life left to him, he told us
that he had been a pirate on the
Pacific, and where he had buried a
large amount of money. We all knew
that he was from Ohio and had never
seen an ocean.
One of the men finally felt it his
duty to say:
Burrows, you have only short
time to live. You had best spend
that in preparing for eternity"
"I've allus been good" he quietly
replied.
"Yes, but you are an awful liar,
you know"
Il suppose so. I've told million,
haven't II"
mo doubt of IT."
"And every one has been laid up
agin' me?"
VERY likely"
"Well, boys, it's my way, and /
can't change at this late day. Just
as that cave-in came / struck mug
get as big as my head. 1t would
value up a clean $4,000. If you'll
be kind enough to pull it out and sell
it and send the cash to my wife I'll
die feeling better"
He went off soon after that, and
we said to each other that he had
given us the greatest yarn Of all. Nc
one took his claim, which was ac-
counted poor one, and 1T lay fol-
three months before one Of the boys
dug into it one day for the pickaX
buried and forgotten. He hadn't got
the pick when he came across a lump
Of gold which balanced S13, 2S0 in
coin, and every shilling Of the money
was sent on to the widow.
1t got to Ohio to find there was nc
widow.
In his dying hour Burrows told the
truth about his find, but repentcd OF
it. and lied about having a wife.
