From the New York World.
Syracuse, May 9O.-Dr. II. d. Didama,
dean Of the Syracuse Medical College,
says: IF the case Of Secretary Gresham
had been diagnosed in Syracuse, and he
had even a moderate amount of water
in his chest. It would have been drawn off
at once. He would not have been given
any tonic treatment. The water would
not have been allowed to fill up at all.
1t would not have been drawn out by bis
ter. 1t would have been pumped out. BY
that means more could have been accom-
plished in five minutes than could have
been done by blister in a week.
1.-THE better treatment is early evaeua-
ton by drawing Off the water. l would
give supporting treatment IL water in
promptly drawn off in such case it ends
the disease. My opinion is that Secretary
Gresham had a well developed case Of
pIeurIsy.

The reason for your COW giving bitter
milk is, no doubt, owing to the fact that
she eats something bitter Some cows eat
everything that comes along, while others
are more fastidious and reject everything
that is bitter.

very bitter. and is liked by most cattle.

are bitter, and your COW has eaten some

In this section our pastures are infected
with various plants that cause the milk

Europe it is known as the Columbatz

in this country for the past sixteen or
twenty years. Where the gnats prevail
an ointment of tar and lard, part of tar

A Communication.

Editors Journal - Has not about
enough been said about the speeches of the
young evangelists in Boston? They were
called upon to report, and they reported
things as they found them. Some had a
hard soil to cultivate, and they said So.
Others found better success, but no COM
ment Is made on their favorable state
ments When the reformer Melancthon
began to work M Germany he said he
thought all the people would accept the
gospel but he found that "old Adam
was too much for young Melancthon.
With more experience those young evan
gelists may succeed better
A few years since President Hyde of
Bowdoin College in an elaborate essay de-
clared that the interior of Maine is re-
lapsing into paganism. The assertion was
too broad but we are not yet a people too
religious. A village where 1 have been
acquainted for thirty years, has elegant
dwellings and stores and large hotel but
only little meeting house perched on a
hill where divine service is held but a
small part of the time. Augusta has
churches of almost all denominations,
but did not see in the papers that re-
cent canvass found 1900 families of whom
only 900 attended any church. Augusta
is not worse than it's neighbors. If we
had more religion we should have less

SWIFT CYCLIST DIRNBERGER.
The Records Go Down When the YOang
Buffalonian Mounts His Wheel.

Like Richard of old, Mike Dirnbcrger
seems to be himself again. In fact, he
seems little more than himself, for the
reason that he recently rode one and two
miles in much better time than he was
capable of in 1898, when he and little J..
2. Bliss of Chicago succeeded in establish
ing numerous new records between 100
yards and two miles. In that year Dim
berger paced by q running horse, rode a
flying mile in minute 81 seconds which
was then the fastest mile ever ridden on a
wheel He also held several worlds rec
orls for shorter distances, and during the
year demonstrated thiS he was one of the
best competition riders in America by de
feating Bald, johnson and nearly every
other racing man of note in America, Iini-
norman excepted.
At Fountain Ferry track, Louisville,
very recently Dirnbergcr rode flying milo
in l minute 45 seconds, which is g seconds
better than his first record breaking por-

formance and 2-5 seconds better than the
new worlds record made by John ;. John
son in Louisville Nov. 81, 1894. AS Dim
berger was paced by quadruplet and tho
time was taken by experienced handlers OF
stop watches the record Will doubtless De
allowed. The following day Dirnberger
covered two miles in minutes 81 40 sec
onds, thus clipping nearly three seconds
from the worlds record of 8 minutes DIX
seconds, made by johnson in Louisville
Nov. "a, 1894
Dirnberger is described by an admirer as
"a strawberry blond of great good nature
combined with fighting qualities. = He is
about 20 years OF age, is 8 feet inches
tall, weighs 166 pounds and does not
smoke nor drink. Over year ago he pre-
dicted that a mile in minute 40 seconds
was possible with proper pacing, and
speed of 1 minute 40 seconds might be
reached this year.
