New Remedy for Hen Lice.

Insect Life contains translation from the French Journal of Agricul- ture. A. D. Sehencder tells how he drove the lice from his hen house by tying a few small bottles of bi-sulphide of carbon to the perches with the stop per out, leaving the liquid to eyap- crate. The hens rOOst over the bottles and the yapor kills the lice. This is what he says The very next day after using it l was agreeably surpris- ed to find that the enemy had left
 leaving none but dead and dying be- hind, and on the following day not q single living insect was to be found, while my birds were sitting quietly on the roOst enjoying an nnwonted peace ful repose. This lasted for twelve days, till the sulphide had eyaporated. Twenty four hours later fresh in- yasion of lice put in an appearance under the wings of the birds in the warmest portion Of the house where there were [ o citrreli> ol aiF. re- plenisl,d the supply of Sulphide. and the next morning only few of these were remaining Tie next morning every trace of these had disappeared. Since that time ! have personally made q great number of further trials with the sulphide, with immediate and absolute success. should recon mend the sulphide of carbon to be put in small medicine yials and hung about the pigeon house or poultry roost. When it has eyaporated about three parts the remainder will have acquired a yelowlsh tinge, and no longer act so completely as before but if il be shaken up afresh it will suffice 10 keep the enemy at distance"

About Taxes,

A representative of THE LEADER
dropped into the Sheriff's office for an
Item Saturday evening. In converse
ton with Sheriff McNair he was told
BY that gentleman that the collection
OF taxes is about 100000 behind what
1t was for the corresponding date last
year. He attributes this great falling
GIL mainly to the general financial de-
preston which has prevailed since last
years panic.
In further conversation, he said he
Intended to press collections from now
on and that all property on which tax
es are not paid by Feb. LIST, will be ad
Fertlsed and damages added. Persona
property on which taxes are not Their
paid will be levied on and if necessary
sold; so it behooves all who can posi-
ely pay, to do so at once.

A Causus CcIebre in the Justice Court.
On the 10th inst. Emma Collins, col
ored, made affidavit before Justice Nc
milan charging Messrs. Lesser & Co
hen, the butchers, with the larceny of
her COW and calf. She also attached
certain property of said defendants in
order to be remunerated for the miss
ing beasts. Messrs, Brennan and Nc
MILAN represented the State, while
Judge Cassidy and Mr.. Chrisman ably
defended. The criminal case was call
ed Wednesday, and jury ordered by
the defense. The evidence which, by
the way, was conflicting, was presented
to the jury, the case eloquently argued,
and the jury retired. After being out
an hour or so, the jury reported that
they could by no means agree on a
unanimous verdict, 3 being for convic-
ton and for acquittal. They were
therefore discharged, and next day a
new jury empaneled and the program
of the first day was repeated, the jury
hanging just as before. On the third
day, after a repetition of the contest
before jury No. 3, defendants were ac-
quilted. Defendants then waxed
wrathy and threatened to sue the pros
ecution. The civil proceedings are
still pending. It's fun and funds for
the legal fraternity and they enjoy it

Diphtheria and Membraneous Group.

Diphtheria and Membraneous Group.
Apropos the recent excitement and
interest concerning diphtheria and
membraneous Group, the following from
! the December number of Gaillard's
Medical journal, one of the standard
publications of the medical profession,
will be read with interest by Brook
havenites and others:
| The New York Health Department is
slowly determining to isolate as conta-
! giouS all cases of membraneouS Group.
| DR.. Edison some time ago ordered pa
| tent scientific investigation of the ma
| ture of this affection and the result
| supported his view that membraneouS
Group is not only often similar in symp-
toms and effect to diphtheria, but that
it is veritable type of that disease.
The report formulated by Chief In
spector Hermann M. Biggs reads, in
part, as follows:
During the last four months bacteri-
illogical examinations have been made
in thirty-Six cases of membraneouS
Group. In all of these the membrane
was either confined entirely to the lar
ynx or at most only slight deposits ex-
listed in the throat, while there was
very extensive emulation in the larynx.
In thirty of the cases the Loetfler ba-
cillus of diphtheria was abundantly
present. These cases, therefore, were
really cases of laryngeal diphtheria. In
six cases no Lotfler bacilli were found;
these were therefore cases of catarrhal
pseudo diphtheritic Inflammation of
the larynx and are to be considered
analogous to similar pseudo membrane
Gus infiammations (non-diphtheritic)
in the pharynX
In five of the laryngeal cases in which
the Loetfier bacillus was found, cases
of pharyngeal diphtheria both preced-
ed and followed within week in the
immediate vicinity. In three other in
stances the cases of Group were pre-
coded by cases of true diphtheria and
in seven instances were followed by
cases of true diphtheria.
In the remaining fifteen cases of
membraneous Group pharyngeal diph-
iberia neither preceded nor followed
in the immediate vicinity. None of the
six cases of Group in which no Loet1ter
bacilli were found were followed or
preceded by cases of diphtheria.
During the last four months, there
fore, nearly eighty four per cent. of the
cases of so-called membraneOus Group
referred to this department for bacte-
biological examination have proved to
be diphtheria
DR.. Edison expressed the belief that
membraHeouS Group will eventually
be generally considered the same as
laryngeal diphtheria Notices are to
be sent to physicians to report to the
board all cases, and arrangements are
now being made for isolation quarters
for patients.
1t is expected that the subject will
receive wide discussion by medical
academies of the country.

a CARD FROM LESSER & COHEN.

In reply to the statement in yester
days LEADER we wish to give the fol
lowing statement to the public: That
we bought the beef in question of VIM
Turnbough that this beef was appa.
rently in very healthy and good condi-
ton and so wild it took several hands
to handle it. The beef was killed and
strict instructions given to the butch.
er to report whether there was any
brulse any where on said beef, and If
SO TO throw it out, which was done
without any order from Mr. Hurst.
We challenge the most rigid investi-
CATION of the matter. Such investiga-
ton will convince the public that we
are unjustly prosecuted.
S. LESSER & COHEN.
Brookhaven, Jan. II, 1894.
The above card appeared in the last
issue OF the Lincoln County Times,
and, as Messrs. Lesser g. Cohen chal-
lenge the most rigid investigation of
the matter referred to, THE LEADER,
with no other motive than to as
certain the real facts and do justice to
all concerned, has pursued the inves-
tigation further and gives the result of
its efforts in that direction.
Mr.. Turnbough was seen and asked
for statement and said:
'Messrs. Lesser & Cohen came to me
and wanted me to haul off the dead
cattle brought here from the wreck at
90 cents per head. | refused to do so,
but told them that if they would give
me one-half of the profits l would do
so. They accepted my proposition.
When the work was done my share was
not for Incoming and | held the injur-
ed ster at my stable until a settlement
was effected. They then called for the
steer and carried it off 1t remained
at my stable several days and was weak
and emaciated. The statement that
they bought the beef from me is utter
ly untrue.
Marshal Hurst was reinterviewed,
and said THE LEADERS version of the
matter last week was substantially true
on every point, and added:
II had my suspicious aroused about
this crippled steer for several days, and
when | learned, as did through ne
gro that | sent to the butcher pen, that
it had been slaughtered and hung up
ready to be brought to the market
house, saw Lesser & Cohen's negro
butcher at the market, and told him
| would object to such meat being
sold. 1t aftrward occurred to me if |
waited until the beef was brought to
the market, it might be mixed with
other meat and be difficult to identify,
so decided to ride out to the slaugh-
ter house and stop it there. When l
approached the slaughter house, | was
evidently observed by the negro butch
er and Mr.. Cohen, who had been told
by the negro of my purpose, and they
dumped the beef out. The meat was
unfit to sell to the public, as Lesser &
Cohen themselves admit in their card"
We give the statements uerbatim,
and leave it to the citizens of Brook
haven to decide. We have no interest
in this matter except as public jour
nal to expose and condemn wrongs
foisted upon the public, We hope
the City Council will carefully investi-
gate the whole subject, and either ex-
| onerate Messrs. Lesser & Cohen, or re-
fuse them further market privileges
| in our town.

out sitting down and resting; but, thank
God, by the help Of New Heart Cure all that
is past and feel like another woman. Be-
fore using the New Heart Cure had taken
different so-called remedies and been treated
by doctors without any benefit until L was
both discouraged and Disguised. My husband
bought me bottle OF DIR. Miles New Heart
Cure and am happy to say never regretted
IT, as now have a, splendid appetite. and
sleep we'll. weighed LIS pounds when l be-
gan taking the remedy and now weigh 1901.
Its effect in my case has been truly marvel
GUS. 1t far surpasses any other medicine
have ever taken or any benefit L ever re-
ceived from physicians."-Mrs. Harry Starr

Chinese Mourning.

The monthly bills of the Washington
Gas Light company are printed on paper
of peculiar dirty yellow tint which
happens to be the exact hue of the Chi
nese emblem of mourning. The long
strips are left regularly at the doors of
all houses in the city, and at the Chi
nese legation among the rest. Just
after the change in ministers the strip
was left as usual in the vestibule of
the legation, and, being carried to the
new minister, affected him profoundly.
It was evidently intended, he thought,
as a notification of somebody's death,
and as it was left at the legation door
it doubtless indicated the bereavement
Of some family high in official life.
The minister at once gave orders to
close the house. The usual instru-
ments of mourning were brought out,
the shutters were drawn, and passers-
by for the remainder Of the evening
were RECALLED by a combination of curl
Gus noises, such as the Chinese only
know how to utter when engaged in
bewailing the dead
