Summer Vegetable Salads.

Vegetable salads are delicious when one
needs something piquant to prick the APP
petite, writes Elizabeth Robinson Scovil
in the July Ladies Home Journal. They
can be made of tomato, green string beans,
dandelion, caulitlower, potato. cucumber,
asdaragus and cabbage beside the ever
popular lettuce.
Cold potatoes cut in dice and laid on a
bed of lettuce can be covered with cream
dressing.
Dandelion salad is made of the young
leaves of the plant, thoroughly washed,
soaked in cold water for an hour, shaken
dry and saturated with French dressing
Lettuce should be put into cold water
to make it crisp, and shaken dry in a
napkin before being dressed,
Green beans are boiled the tough part
of the stalk removed, the remainder cut in
short lengths and covered with mayon-
naSe.
Caulilower is separated into sprigs, the
tender part of the stalk cut fine, and
covered with mayonnaise, 1t must not
be boiled too long or it becomes dark.
Cabbage is eaten raw, shredded fine,
soaked in French dressing and covered
with boiled dressing
Cueumbers are thinly sliced. soaked in
ice water and then in French dressing.
Tomatoes are sealded to remove the
skin, cut in slices when cold, and served
with spoonful of mayonnaiSe or boiled
dressing on each slice.

Drones and swarming.

Says a heekeeper of repute in Clean
ings In Bee Culture:
There are Il few beekeepers who argue
that if all drones and drone comb are
kept out Of the hive it would be, TO
some extent, preventive of swarming,
but with me | have failed to see that
this matter Of drones has had anything
to do with the matter of swarming
whatever, for | have several times had
hybrid colonies i'll my apiary, from
which | have taken all drone combs
and not allowed them to rear drones be.
cause did not want my young queens
to meet such drones. Yet, SO far as |
could see, these colonies swarmed is
promptly IT, did those having drones.
From my experience in the past would
say That 1t Is not practical 10 try To keep
all drone comb out Of any hive, but
rather have just one frame i'll each and
every hive, having from six 10 twelve
square inches Of drone comb IN II, and
have such comb stand III certain place
i'll each hise, 50 that the apiarist mav
know just where it is. Then Every ~
days open the hives from which il Is DE-.
sired that 10 drones shall fly and decap.
itate them, thus making II sure thing Of
the matter aud fully satisfying the bees.

Opportunities.

Some one has said that "every face
ought to be beautiful at forty" and an
other that mo person has right to be
ugly, because he has had all his life in
which to grow beautiful at FORTY That
is to say, that lfe's opportunities of noble
ness, or even forty years ofopportunity, if
we'll used, are enough to make so much
beauty within that it cannot help coming
to the surface in graceful habits of nerves
and muscles. The TRANSPORTATION of a
pleasant smile. kindly lightngs to the eyes,
restiul lines of self control about the lips,
pure shining of the face as great thoughts
kindle inwardly-these things no parent
makes inevitably ours and no titful week or
two of goodness gives them, and no
schooling OF the vsage either, but only
habilual nobeness and graciousness with
in, and this will give them all. Nor does
a wise man think he has watched the
quick expressions which fit across the
face ANONYMOUSLY. The truth will out,
and in these flashing motions some times
we catch the rascals under a handsome
mask, and sometimes catch the angel
where we had not looked tor one.-Rt7'.

New Yorker, says:
So long as | make my hay, which is

Since February the death rate has
sunk to IA per cent. Indeed wonder.
full showing when we consider that the
death rate in cases Of actual diphtheria
is over so per cent, when no antitoxfn
is used.
And 1t is not only as a curative, but also
as preventive, that the great remedy.
may be used. Reliable cases, sufficient
in number to leaveIno room for doubt
have been reported Of children who had
been rendered temporarily immune by
a single injection of antitoxin while in
the midst Of household where
diphtheria was raging. BY expert
menting on guinea pigs IT was shown.
that n dose of antitoxin injected be-
fore infection requires only I-iOO,
sometimes $1,000, of the strengthneeded
when the same amount of toxin had
found its way into the pigs system
twenty-fonr hours before the antidote
was injected.
In its effect antitoxin Is absolutely
harmless. Itsometimes produces skin
eruptions, weakness and other slight
symptoms in human patients, but the
medicine is not considered a poison,
audit cannot be in any way dangerous
to the sick or the. healthy. Not the
slightest fear need be entertained in
that regard
What is true of diphtheria and
tetanus we may infer to hold good in
all germ diseases. We know that the
principles OF partial and total immunity
evince themselves throughout the ami
NAL kingdom; we are almost positive
that thisp partial Immunity may always
be Increased by infection OF disease,
and we may judge by analogy thai II
some animal can produce properties in
the blood, antitoxic to certain diseases,
other animals can be found whose blood
win yield the same medicine against
other diseases. We believe, further.
that at least all infectious diseases are
germ diseases (for how else could they
be infectious?l, and we may Justly in.
fer that in avery few years d great,
complex system OF new remedies
will come into use, and as are drives
out FIRE, the disease itself shall produce
within the animal body the antidote

eve Of a great awakening in medical
science. Z. I. GrsDIAcn

before that time. Within this short
period reliable records of cures In
diphtheria and tetanuss commonly
known as lockjaw) had been collected.
The antttoxin had been obtained, its
value had been practically demon
strated, but the principle involved re-
mains mystery to all. That some
great, far-reaching principle is coming
TO light, that new system of fighting
disease, based on this principle, viii be
evolved that is admitted by all who
have studied the subject. The eyes OF
searching investigators and profound
thinkers are cleaning with the hope of
evolving this new system in time to
add the discovery to that unrivaled
galaxy of achievements which illumin-
ates nineteenth century progress.
What is antitoxin? Antitoxin Is
anti-poison, an antidote for poison. AS
we use the word, II means substance
developed in animal blood to neutralize
the effect Of toxins (poisons) of disease.
How is 1t obtained? From the blood
of immnnized animals. And here we
must explain the nature of immunity.
All animal blood has been shown to
possess to a greater or lesser degree of
bactericide properties When an ami
NAL becomes infected with disease a
combat takes place, according to we'll
substantiated authorities, between the
germs of the disease and mysterious
something in the blood. This bacteri-
eide property varies in power and quail
ity In different species Thus the blood
of man offers complete resistance to
germs Of pigeon cholera, that OF the
dog against anthrax, of the chicken.
against tetanus, and SO on. These ami
mails are said to be- immune against
such diseases
The important point 10 that the Inn
munity against certain diseases may be.
increased This may be done in one of
two ways-t13 by infection, or (e) by
intoxicatiJn, !. e., inoculation of the dis
ease. Every child knows that when It
has once had disease the chances are
that 1t will not catch the same disease a
second time. It has been rendered Inn
mune against that disease. A mysteri-
GUS process of chemistry has taken
place in. the child's body, protecting 1T,
perhaps for lifetime, perhaps for linn
tied period, against the germs OF the
disease.
The same process may be developed
artificially. Inoculate the disease in
mild form, and the danger of succumb-
ing to serious attack will be minim-
lied. This is the principle of vaccina-
ton.
From vaccination to the use of anti
toxin is but one step Scientists had
