GLANDEES,

Chambers is contagious malady,
which can be communicated from one
animal to another by actual contact
only therefore, to prevent the disease
from spreading it is necessary only to
isolate all subjects which have been
exposed to the disease until the period
OF incubation has expired. The period
of incubation, or, in other words, the
time of receiving the contagion into
the system and the appearance of the
disease is usually in the acute form
five to ten days, while in the chronic
form it may be two or three months.
all exposed subjects should therefore
be quarantined for from sixty to
ninety days. There is no cure for
glanders. In the neighborhood where
the disease has prevailed due precau-
tion should be taken to guard against
the spread Of the disease. All diseased
subjects should be promptly destroyed
and the carcasses should be burned.
All suspected animals should be kept
isolated under veterinary supervision
until they can be pronounced sound
or destroyed. The stable where the
diseased subjects have been kept, as
well as all clothing, utensils, harness,
etc., should be thoroughly disinfected.

Our National Habit OF Whistling.

The right OF person to whistle, to
the paralysis of other persons nerves,
is becoming almost as burning a ques-
tion as the right Of persons to smoke,
to the mental and bodily detriment of
others. We Americans are probably
next to our own colored people in
the Southern towns, whom we have
educated in the art-the whistlingest
people in the world. There are, ap.
parently, two reasons for this. One
is, that we are the most nervous of
people; we have got to be doing some
thing; we can't go down stolidly Mt
our work like Europeans, or sit silent
and contemplative; SO we work off our
tigets with whistling. The other rea-
son is, that we are really cheerful
and expressive people, in spite of all
that has ever been said in the con-
trary. The national whistling habit has
resulted in the production of great
number of really skillful and musical
whistlers. With one consideration
and another, there is tremendous
amount of whistling. 1t seems cheer
full, and sometimes, to the whistler, it
is really cheerful. Now, undoubtedly,
this would be very nice if every ones
whistling were heard only by himself.
1t would be blessed way of working
off ones nervousness. But the other
fellow has nervousness too. What
about that? An ordinary whistler's
performance gives absolutely no pleas
ure to any one but himself. Boston

The Ruin OF the Ragpicker.

The chifonneirs OF Paris have lost
their trade-at least it has become so
totally modified that they no longer
pursue it in it's ancient form. The
waste and dirt from every house used
to be poured out into the street be-
fore the front door each evening at 8
or 10 o'clock, and the chiffonnier, with
his lantern and his hook in his hands
and his basket on his back, arrived at
once and raked the heaps over, to see
what he could find in them. But it
became forbidden either to throw the
refuse into the street or to bring it
out at night.
It was prescribed that it should be
carried down in the early morning in
box, which is placed, full, at the
door, and is emptied before o'clock
in the dust carts, which go round each
day. The chiffonniers, therefore,
have no longer the opportunity
of picking over the dirt, for
it has ceased to offer itself in an &C.
cessible form; they have, for the
most part, to carry on their trade
after the refuse is discharged from
the carts at the depots, and, conse-
quently, have almost disappeared
from the streets. They cannot be re-
garded as loss, for they were, OF
necessity, dirty and bad smelling, and
looked, as they prowled about with
their dull lanterns in the dark, like
spectres of miserable evilness. But,
oil the same, they were thoroughly
typical of old Paris.-Blackwood's &
Magazine.

A Boa Constructor Swallows It's Mate.

One of the strangest incidents in
the experience of the management of
the Geological Society's menagerie
has occurred in the reptile house, the
scene being one of the compartments
in which the boa constructors are con-
fined. Two large boas occupied the
chamber, one snake being nine feet
and the other eight feet long. When
the house was opened in the morning
only one boa was found in the cage;
the other had disappeared. Though
the survivor was only foot longer
than the other snake, there was no
reason to doubt that it had completely
swallowed its companion. It was so
distended that the scales were almost
separated, and it was unable either to
coil itself or move. There is every
reason to believe that in accomplish
ing this almost incredible feat the
snake acted by mistake, and it de-
voured its companion by what de-
serves to be called IN accident. The
large boa was fed with pigeon before
the house was closed for the night.
It swallowed the bird, and the other
boa was then given q pigeon, which it
had begun to swallow when the snakes
were left for the night. 1t is believed
that the larger snake then caught hold
of the part of the pigeon which pro-
jected from the others mouth, and
gradually enveloped, not only the
bird, but the head of the other snake.
Once begun, the swallowing process
would go on almost mechanically. As
the swallowed snake was only one foot
less in length than the swallower, and
of nearly equal bulk, weighing about
fifty pounds, the gastric juices must
have dissolved the portion which first
entered the snakes stomach before
! the remainder was drawn into the
jaws. Though still rather lethargic,
the surviving boa is not injured by
Its meal. It coils itself up with diff
Guilty, and its scales have the beauti-
full, iriddescent bloom peculiar to the
skin of snakes when in perfect health.
