The long summer wore on. Every
evening COnolita would come out into
the yard and in her soft voice sing the
little songs that James Howard, the
Americana, grew 10 love so we'll All.
what evenings were these! Conolita
grew TO look forward to them, and all
day long she thought of the Americana
and the songs she would sing for him.
And when she began to run short of new
songs little ConolIta improvised. All, if
the Americana could only have under
stood. But the Americana did not COM
prehend the Spanish words. He under
stood tue music, however, and once he
wrote her little note and tossed it down.
She blushed as she saw the writing and
shook her head, for poor Conolita could
not read the English. But Sue sang again
that little love song that she had tirst
sung and she telt that he understood that
And SO the summer passed slowly on,
and Conolita was always happy She
sang and played every evening TO the
Americana, and every evening the Amer
icano listened aud smiled. He threw
down roses, too, and as the summer drew
10 its close the little box in Conolita's
room was almost full OF them. And
Conolita loved those whitening roses
And once, when Mrs. Jose had gone 10
sleep, and it was all dark and still, Como
raising it, laid her soft cheek on the
leaves. And by-and-hy, when she crept
back 10 bed there were tears in her dark
eyes and a half-withered rose petal clung
TO her lips. For Conolita loved those
roses and she had kissed them.
one evening Conolita sang all alone.
The Americana did not come to the win
dow. and when she went into the house
at last her heart was very sad. And next
day, when she looked up at the window.
she saw that the blind was down. What
could be the matter? asked Conolita; aud
as day after Gay and evening alter even

down, u terrible fear came and spoke 10
her as an answer. The Americana must
have gone away Gone away |! Conoiita
could hardly realize it at first. But as
time passed by the truth crashed Oh her
and her heart grew very sad and weary
o, how lonely it was! How dreary
How dull! Conolita did not play any
more of an evening now, nor sing those
sad little songs. Once she tried, but her
voice broke in half sob, and she never
tried again.
But something must happen sometime;
and so one evening, as Conolita was
standing gazing up at the window, the
blind was suddenly run up and a sweet
laced lady in white cap looked down at
her. Other people came to the window.
tooi anu NoHolita, Ieellng their eyes rest
upon her, turned quickly away. The
action was careless, but oh, how her
heart ached For the Americana had
not been among those who came to the
window. and SO that proved that he was
not there. And Conolita, going into the
stutfy little kitchen to help AIRS. Jose,
was very sad at heart-very, very sad.
There were children in the family that
took the AlnerIcano's rooms; and, oh,
how they thrust Conolita to the heart
when they would lean out the open win

Tuberculosis in the EmDire State.

The temporary appearance of tuberculosis
among the cattle at the Vermont Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, and the necessity
for discriminating the herd, has given the
dreaded disease new interest for the farm
ers of this State, and they are now closely
watching the progress which the authorities
of other States are making in stamping ont
the epidemic, 4 glance at the situation in
various parts of the country shows that cat
tlemon in Vermont have much to be thank.
ful for in the marked absence of tubercu-
losis and the free condition of the State in
this respect is to be attributed in no small
degree to the promptness and thoroughneSs
which has characterized the action of our
State authorities when any indications of
the presence of this disease have been dis
covered
According to reports which come from
Albany the situation which faces the cattle
breeders and the board of health of the En-
pire State is most serious and it is well cal
cuatcd to excite general apprehension. not
only in New York, but in the States ada
cent thereto. The correspondent of the New
y ork Tribune says that this disease has been
making rapid Roadway in that State during
the last few years, and the conditions now
are such that it is not known how many eat
tie are afflicted with it. In the last year
the employees of the health board have been
kept busy night and day in making examin-
ations of cattle which were suspected of
having tuberculosis, and he says that these
men could not keep up with the constantly
growing cases brought to the attention of
the officials of the State board of health,
and that now there are many thousand head
of cattle within the State which are waiting
to be killed, after an examination by the
official inspectors.
1t is said that thera are now 20 600 head of
cattle in New York which have been examined
and are to be killed Just rs soon as an APP
preparation can be made for that purpose,
although this seems to be a big state ment.

help being enormous, on account Of the

this disease. The State of New York has
taken upon itself the responsibility of pay
ing something for each bovine killed pur-
suant to the orders of the State board of
health, and if the number of diseased cattle
increases within the next few years rs it has
increased within the last year or so the
question of raising fund for paying own
ers of blooded or native cattle will in all
probability become serious one for the
officials and the taxpayers of the Empire
State to consider
1t is stated that the State board of health
now is without funds with which to proceed
in the work of destroying the cows known
to he afflicted with what is considered to he
a dang erous disease On that account there
is danger of its being spread to such an eX-
tent that it will take much longer and cause
Il larger expense TO get heuppcr hands of it
than if the appropriation of last year for
the use of the State board of health had not
been so small
If tine disease could bo confined to cattle
absolutely the situation III the Empire state
would undoubtedly be robbed of portion of
its serious aspect but there is great danger
that it will be transmitted to human beings
in its immediate vicinity. The possibility of
people contracting the disease from the use
of milk from cows afflicted with tubcrculo-
sis, has been "A subject of serious discussion
in medical circles. No person would know
inglv dare to eat meat from an animal
which had been afflicted with this disease,
and the members of the New York State
board Of health go SO far as to claim
that il is almost crime for one
to dispose of the milk of II COW
which is suffering from tuberculosis
In many cases the disease has been found
upon testing animals which had been given
clean bill of health by veterinary sur
geons. and rs a natural result there is great
uncertainty and trepdation among cattle
owners and breeders in the Empire state.
Under the circumstances it becomes an
important question how promptly and Wig
orously the authorities of neghboring States
should 90 to work to prevent the introduc-
tion of tuberculosis into their borders from

evidently ought to he given seriou, and i'm

the expectation of live cattle from Montreal
to England was extensive.
The cattle quarantine established on the
Canadian boundary summarly stopped this
trade from the United States, and it is
claimed that at that time there was almost
total absence of tuberculosis among cattle
in this country. The Canadians were soon
paid in their own COIN however, for the
English government established an embargo
against Canadian cattle. and the cattle ex
port trade from Montreal TO England was
entirely cut Off except that in cattle to he
killed at the ports of entry
An attempt was made the other day by
cattle dealers of Montreal to ascertain from
the minister of trade and commerce and the
minister Of finance at Ottawa whether the
government would admit American live cat
tie into Canada for export from Montreal
if n strict inspection was held at the bound
airy They We're told "no,' because the
government preferred to continue to hope
that the embargo on Canadian cattle in
Great Britain would yet be removed and the
admission of American cattle into Canada
would destroy this hope
1t is evident from this statement that the
Canadian authorities have not heard official
~ of the large number Of cases of tuber-
culoss in New York State: for they would
naturally have included this fact among the
reasons for refusing to admit American cat
tie to enter Canadian territory. Even if
the embargo We're to be removed it would
undoubtedly be restored in short order when
it was once discovered that some States
dreaded disease.
