Is THERE REALLY A SPECIFIC
The general impression seems to
prevail among stock raisers that if a
hog is eve seized with cholera that
his doom is sealed, and that the only
safety is in absolute prevention, or
rather in using every means to pre-
vent its development. There are,
however, some farmers who insist
hat it can be cured, and among this
number is Mr.. G. FL. Caraway, an
experienced farmer of Darlington
county, S. G. Mr.. Caraway says
that he knows we'll the symptoms
of the disease and has cured them
even after they were unable to walk.
His remedy is simply to sprinkle
%turpentine all over the hog and
leave it to do its work. Mr.. Caravan
does not pretend to account for the
way the cure is effected, but simply
accepts what to him are undeniable
facts. He states that number of his
neighbors have used the same remedy
with uniform success. Whether it
will cure or not it is simple, easily
applied and costs practically moth
ing. Mr.. Caraway says there is no
danger in giving the sick hog too
much of a sprikling, and hat if he
gets a little in his mouth, just a
few drops, it will not hurt him. We
would like to hear some from of our
readers on this subject. Rev. j. w.
War;, also an experienced farmer,
says that assafeotida is a certain pre-
tentative of cholera and hat by its
use he has never lost a hog from
this fatal disease.-CarOlino Planter.

What the Mouth Tells.

There are certain mouths which tell
yoN IN every curve to beware Of their
owners. There aye thin lips, sharply
drawn down at the corners, rather
bloodless and pale. They belong to
men aud women whose views are mar
row and Interchangeable, whose sympa-
thies are not to be aroused by any
means. They are self-righteous peo-
pic, and rs obstinate as human beings
can be.
A woman with a mouth of that type
may proclaim as far as her words can
reach that she believes in wifcly sub
mission and feminine yielding, but she
will have her own way all through
life. She is likely to have certain vir.
tues, to be sure. She will be economi-
cal. pious and proper.
Her husband is not likely to be
brought to bankruptcy or to the divorce
courts by her, but she will lead him
sometimes to wish for either Of thcse
varieties In the rigidity and naonotony
Of existence.
The woman with very full, very red
lips, Of the "pnuting' variety, is apt
to lie luxurious In her tastes, She 10
fond Of case and pleasure. Beauty aud
brightness appeal to her, and her ideals
are not likely to be high, but she Is ar.

A Great Meteorite.

A close examination of the frag.
ments Of the Winnebago county Qowa)
meteorite has been made by Prof. H.
A. Newton, of Yale college. More than
a thousand pieces of the meteor are
in the museum ut Yale. One man, a
surveyor, had the presence Of mind to
direct the theodolite to the cloud left
after the explosion, and IN accurate
reading of his circles gave most reli.
able data. The fragments were scat
tered over several square miles. aud
vary in size from grain Of dust al
most, to some eighty pounds. 1t Is
estimated that the meteor must have
been at least 500 pounds In weight
ana was perhaps as large us q small
-four barrel; and That it approached
the earth with planetary velocity, or
about ten mile: per second, in orbit
not unlike that Of the earth itself un-
til within about five miles when 1t
burst. After the explosion the veloc-
ity Of the piece could not have been
greater than that of sound or about
q quarter Of mile per second.

Multiplex Telegrapay.

The duplex and the Quadruplex sys.
TENS Of telegraply, begun by Mr.. Edi-
son in 1868 and finished after six
years Of work, have saved In America
alone the enormous sum Of $l5, OOO.OOO.
By the duplex system two currents Of
different degrees OF strength were
sent over the same wire in the same
direction. thus doubling its efficiency.
while the quadruplex arrangement
became possible when 1t was discov-
cred that these two currents could be
sent In opposite directions at the
same time-thus enabling one wire to
transmit four simultaneous messages.
Not satisfied with this, Mr.. Edison is
confident Of attaining sextuplex and
octuplex systems.

In connection with the trial of Capt.
Dreyfus. the Paris correspondent OF
tho Daily News writes: what Drey-
fus said about the judgment Of ex-
perts on handwriting proves right.
-Four such experts were summoned.
Two of them declared that the docu-
mcnt was not written by Dreyfus. one
that he could rot form any decided
opinion, and only The fourth that the
document was written by the prisoner.
The opinion Of DIR. Bcrtillon. who Is
known as the inventor of the an,hro-
pomctrical system, decided the mat
ter. DIR. Bertillon clains to have dis
covered new process for identifying
handwriting. 1t is based on the meas
uremcnt Of the beatings of the pulse,
which are said to have in everybody
a different and thoroughly character
istic effect on the handwriting. The
inventor Is said to enlarge tue speci'
mems by photography, till the letters
are foot high. and then the charac-
teristic marks are seen."
