The Scare About Pleuro-Pneumonia.

a
After having the story told all over
the continent that Kansas had pleuro-
pneumonia among its cattle il has been
discovered that it is all a mistake and
that what was taken for that dread
disease was only a lack OF plenty of
good feed. The cases reported were
found in Morris and Wabaunsee coun-
ties. The examination, which was a
superficial one, was made by Mr.. Z.
y. Turner, member of the old board
of the Live Stock Sanitary commission
assisted by Prof. Mayo. veterinarian of
the Agricultural college. The report
sent out by Mr.. Turner has caused
much solicitude among the citizens all
over Kansas who are engaged in feed
ing and shipping cattle. IL now ap-
pears that the decision was hastily Civ
en- and made without sufficient evidence
to warrant the conclusion.
The new board, consisting Of J. ".
Johnson of Greenwood county. j. W.
Moore of Marion county and ]. ].
Brown of Ottawa county, organized on
last Monday and at once entered upon
an Investigation of the reported pleuro-
pneumonia. The board visited the To-
calities and assisted by DR.. Devoe and
DR.. Albert Dean, United States live
stock agent, made a thorough examina-
ton OF the subject and find that pleu-
ro-pneumonia does not exist in Kansas
in the localities reported.
The president of the new board, Mr.,
]. W. Johnson. is a stockraiser and cat
tie feeder of twenty-eisht years expe-
rience in Kansas. When he saw the
stock said TO have this disease he al
once remarked, Il can give you remedy
for all that troubles these cattle Give
them more and better feed" The new
board is composed of practical and sue
cessful stock men and their work viii
be reliable.

A BOWL OF KAvA.
A Po;ynesian Drink Which Is unpieas-

A Poiynesian Drink Which Is unpieas-
antly Peculiar In Its Preparation.
Kava is the native drink, and its uss
and the manner and ceremony of its
preparation being among the most an
cient customs of Polynesia, it merits,
think. short description. Kaya Is
an indigenous tree, more or less plenti-
full throughout the South Sea Islands,
the root Of which is employed in the
manufacture Of the drink. When visit
ors are present much ceremony is OBJ
served in its preparation. A beautiful
round bowl of dark-colored wood is pro-
duced, its interior shining with a blue
enamel-like coating, caused by the de-
posit Of the root Generally speaking.
the best bowl Is the property OF the
village, and much care is taken and
time spent in polishing and preserving
the enamel in the interior. Three young
girls with shining white teeth. chosen
usually chosen from the bellies" of the
village, seat themselves around the
bowl, each having piece Of the kava
root. This they proceed to break up in
to small pieces. and. putting them into
their mouths, chew the dry root until
1t Is reduced to pulp. which Is placed
from time TO time in the bowl. A suf-
ficiency having been thus prepared
water is poured in and the whole mix
ture is stirred up; lunches Of fine fibre
are then drawn through the liquid 10
strain out any small pieces of the root
which may remain. The drink is now
complete and is passed around in cups
of cocoanut shell to the chiefs and
principal people Of the assembly In or
der Of rank. On my first attempt at
drinking kava was strongly reminded
of soapsuds; but this unpleasant idea
wore OFF after a time. A refusal 10
drink. or even not to drain the cup, is
considered a grave impoliteness. The
solution OF the kava root Is non-intoxl-
eating, but, taken In excess, produces
loss Of power in the lower limbs.
Many of the European residents drink
I 1t regularly. but, OF course. 1t is then
prepared in different manner.

Edward Eggleston originated the
Christian Endeavor Society in his pop
uIar story, THE Hoosier Schoolmas-
ter" which he wrote in 1872 in small
house in Schermerhorn street, Brook
lyn. It is in this fiction also that may
be found THE Church of the Good
Licks." In 1877, when Mr. EggIeston
became the pastor of the Lee Avenue
Congregational Church (now the Lee
Avenue Theater), he organized for the
young people Society of Christian En-
deavor, in imitation of the one in his
book. The weekly meetings in the
church drew together such a company
of bright young men and women as that
town never witnessed in similar gath
erings before or since. All the pro-
LESSONS were represented; and the OBJ
ject was chiefly social culture. 1t was
from the success OF this small company
in making one evening in the week
agreeable and profitable that the great
gathering in Boston has come to pass.
