HEROIC INITIATION,
A Student Fatally Injured While
Being Put Into the ID. X. E.

The death Of q Yale student, which oc-
Cured few nights since at New Haven.
Conn, will probably put end to the fool
ish initiation ceremonies of the college Sc
cret societies.
Wilkins Rustin, of Omaha, Neb., was the
victim. Rustin was,a candidate for D. K.
E. and was being put through the usual
course on Chapel street when the members
of the society who had him i'll charge told
him to run at full speed down the street.
Hit 'er up liveiy!" shouted one OF the
men, Ruskin was blindtolded but started
on a brisk run. He swerved a little from
the direct course and though the spectators
shouted at him to stop he failed to hear
them, and dashed full speed into an express
wagon.
The pole OF the wa gon struck him in the
stomach and he sank unconscious to the
ground. He was carried to his room and
medical attendance summoned. He grew
steadily worse and his condition was such
that a surgical operation was determined
upon as the only chance of saving his life.
The operation was in progress at twenty-five
minutes past eleven, when the young man
died. Young Ruskin was fine athlete and
was captain OF the sophomore ball team.

THE MAURITIUS CYCLONE,
An Eyewitness Story of the Ter.
ribIe Scene at Port Louis.

Lieutenant Berkely Hill, of the Royal Ar
tillery in Mauritius, who was stationed on
one of the highest points near Port Louis at
the time of the storm, has given vivid de-
scription Of his experience
Just before the storm came, he says, the
mercury of the barometer fell quickly two
inches below normal. The windows of his
sitting room were blown in, AMI the room
was filled with flying leaves and pieces of
mud. He went out on the veranda and the
wind pinned him tightly against the side of
the house.
~ could see only about five yards" he
says Il was half killed, but the wind S
demoniac scream drowned my loudest shouts
AS the air cleared saw that trees were COM
pletely denuded Of leaves and most of them
were uprooted. Port Louis was ruined
The massive stone Catholic Church
collapsed, killing the refugees who
had fed to it for shelter. Some houses
were lifted bodily and carried for
yards. All the drains in Port Louis were
blocked. and the stencil after the storm was
terrible. The soldiers in the city worked
like heroes, without waiting even to eat.
They cleared away barrcades thirty yards
long and ten feet nigh. OF the crops seventy
five per cent. may be said to be wholly
ruined. The total loss is from SO, 90, 900 to
SIS 600, O00"

PROPER PRESSURE IN CHEESE MAKING.
A frequent mistake is to apply too
strong pressure at first to the newly
hoopeG curd. The pressure should be
gradual, and the snug squeeze only given
after several hours. The white whey
that starts from severely pressed curd
is rich in butter fats, which will net ap-
pear if the curd is allowed to settle
firmly in the hoop before strong pressure
is applied. The facts go to show that
the average full cream cheese has parted
with far too much of its fats in press,
watts, drainers and hoops, and is often
found to be half skim when it reaches
the consumer. Great hue-and-crv is
raised over the idea that it is CONNER
cial wisdom to take out a pound of but
ter fat to each hundred pounds of milk,
which tests four and one-half per cent.
fat for cheese making. The cheese is
no better that has lost that amount of
fat in manufacture than is another
cheese from which has been skinned an
equal amount, and the balance of the fat
retained by skillful manufacture. A
little care at the beginning of the opera
lions will always prevent such wastes
and result in a better product. -Ameri

LAMINITIs, OR FOUNDER.

Founder may arise from various causes,
such as continued bad shooting, freezing
Of the feet, OvereXeTtiOn, a sudden chill
from drinking cold water when heated,
or overlooking the stomach with whole
hard corn or other grain. In the initial
stages there is usually stiffness of one
or both front legs, and by careful exam
ination you will find that the feet are
feverish and tender and this is why the
mare moves about in her endeavOr to re-
ieve the pain in her legs and feet. Re
move her shoes and poultice her front
feet until the fever subsidies and tender
ness is entirely removed. Warm poul-
tees are best during cold or cool
weather, but in warm weather cold ones
are preferable. Give the mare twenty
drops Of tincture of aconite in three or
four ounces of water to allay the fever,
and repeat the next day if the fever con-
tlnues undated. Keep the mares stall
we'll covered with clean straw for bed
ding, and encourage her to lie down as
much as possible. Give steamed or
boiled corn or oats while under treat
ment, and when all signs of fever have
subsidized put on a bar shoe il the soles
of her feet are at all tender; if not, allow
her to run out to pasture during warm
weather until the stiffness disappears. If
you cannot afford to give the mare rest,
then apply the warm poultices to her
front feet as soon as she comes in from
work in the evening, leaving them on all
night, removing in the morning. after
which wash in warm water and wipe dry.
Also give her few doses of the aconite
and work her as gently as possible, re-
membering that she is in pain and every
step only increases her misery.

A VETERINARY VIEW OF CRUELTY.

The following is the report of COM
mittee appointed by the British National
Veterinary Congress for the purpose of
further considering the subject of cruelty
to animals from a veterinary point Of
view, and publishing a declaration in
the name of the Congress on certain
practices and painful operations on
animals.
Lameness may be painless or painful.
Those cases where the lamencss passes
off with exercise are prima facie cases
that are accompanied by pain-thls
specially applies to cases Of navicular dis
ease and SPAWN. In such cases horses
ought not to be worked, and when
worked it is cruelty.
The practice called twitching causes
acute pain and is frequently unjustif-
able.
Burning gas for lampas is cruelty.
Knocking out wolf teeth is cruelty.
Extracting temporary teeth save for a
surgical reason is cruelty.
Docking and nicking horses are cruel.
Marking and branding animals when
necessary, should be performed by the
quickest and least painful method.
Worming the tail, docking and crop
ping the ears of dogs are unnecessary and
therefore cruel operations.
Operations of various kinds are fire.
quently performed on animals by igno-
rant persons, and much cruelty is caused
thereby, which ought to be publicly dep
recated and prevented by law. All pain
full operations not required for the good
of the animal operated on are of a cruel
nature. No operation causing pain to
an animal should be performed by an
unskilful person. All necessary opera
tions ought to be performed in a scien-
tifc manner and by the most human
methods, in order thereby to prevent the
intliction Of unnecessary pain.-Western

LOSSES REACH S5O,OO0.OOO.
Appalling Figures of Damages by the
Great Flood.

Now that the great flood has begun to pass
away an estimate of the losses occasioned
thereby has been made from statistics gath

changes, etc., throughout the afflicted dis
tricts. The total reached 49, 300. 000 divided
as follows:
Missouri-Wheat and corn destroyed t50O-

Congressional Talk.

The Columbia Register says: sit has
been reported that State Senator Stokes,
of Orangeburg, would be a contestant for
Major Brawley's seat in Congress from
the First District of South Carolina.
Senator Stokes has not yet decided to
enter the race, but should he do SO he
will be a formidable candidate. He is
the President of the State Farmers ALI
ance and editor OF the Cotton Plant, and
is in thorough touch and sympathy with
the yeomanry of his District and of the
entire State.
.sEx-Comptroller General J. S. Werner
has stated hat he will not enter the Con-
gressional race in the Fourth District.
He did contemplate doing SO and would
have had a strong backing, but finds that
his professional engagements will not
allow him to enter the race.
The Neux and Comier's Washington
correspondent says it is whispered that
Congressman Stackhouse will resign,
owing to the death of his wife and old
age. This is denied at the State House.
II is stated that he will not only serve
out his term, but will be a candidate for
reelection. If he is he will have no
opposition from the Farmers Movement
men: but if he is not, it is said that Rep

by allowing them to pledge cotton and
land as a basis for circulation, within
safe limits:
,. Are you in favor OF restoring the
volume OF currency to the same ratio
that it sustained to the population aad
business of the country, when our pub
&c debts were contracted?
4. Are you in favor of prohibiting the
monstrous system of gambling ir agri-
cultural products, that robs the farmer
o. all his hard-earned profit, and COR
rupts the morals of the country?
). Are you in favor OF free coinage OF

6. Are you in favor of prohibiting the
ownership OF land by aliens, and the
speculative holding by s~yndicates9
I. Are you in favor of a tariff for reve.
