Pooling the Schoolmarm.

A wise father out in Omaha has a
daughter, and that daughter has,
among other girlish trinkets, sweet
heart, who is rendered doubly dear to
her by the fact that her parents have
forbidden her TO see him. He is, to be
sure, Il very commonplace person, but
no girl can resist sweetheart her
parents have forbdded her to see, you
know.
This particular girls is in Washing
ton, now, for safe Keeping, in a private
school, where incoming and outgoing
letters are read 10y stern faced teacher
A friend went to see her, the other
day, just after the mail was in. She
had received letter from a school girl
friend in Omaha, ana there was not a
noun or pronoun of the masculine
gender in the whole Of il.
The girl read it demurely and
showed it to the friend Then they
went to her room. The door was no
sooner closed, she flew to her curling
irons, heated them, held then close to
the written sheet, and read with de-
light the yellow letters in masculine
hand, which appeared between the
lines and ia ded again as soon as the
paper cooled.
The moral of this is that love will
find a way, and so long as chloride of
copper in solution is to be had, we
advise every keeper of a girls school
to toast all letters we'll before she de-
livers them.

The South and the East.

a recent issue Of the Hartford Conn ,
Times say we hope that those demo
gogues, chiefly of the Populist order,
who have been SO fond of telling of an
alliance of the West and the South
against the tyrannieal East, Will take
due notice of the great impending in
vestmeut of New England capital in
cotton mills in the Southern States.
The man who talks at this day of erect
ing new sectional barriers is fool.
Commerce and manufactures are con
stautly drawing the people of all Sec
tious more closely together. The
movement of New England capital to,
ward the South would have taken on
large proportions long ago but for the
political agitators who kept up stream
of hostile talk against the SOutherners
in the press and on the stump for party
purposes.

Practical Politics VS.. the People.

The Ricumond Daily State says Nr.
Cleveland mas, in the face of bitter
objection on the part of some members
of his party, the objectors being prin.
cipally the practical political type,
endavored to fulfill his promises to the
country. Under him civil service has
grown. His successor, whoever he
may be, whether Democrat or Repub-
lican, cannot stand still unless he goes
against the wishes Of the people. 1t is
practical politics on the one side and
the people on the other. And when
finally the large majority of the offices
are out of the contest entirely then
parties will, more than ever, be forced
to 30 before the people upon their
principles, aud as those principles com
mend themselves to the people, the
parties will have their support. This
and this alone is government by the
people and for the people"

How Antitoxines are Developed.

The new treatment of diphtheria is
practical application of the latest adj
vauces of experimental bacteriolOgy'
The general facts upon which it is
based are briefly these Certain bacteria
when developing in the organism of an
animal or man, produce an albuminoid
poison called IA tOxine, which, crcula-
ting in the blood, causes disease. For
example, the KlebS-Loeher bacillus,
growing in the hrOat of child, gene
rates toxine that produces the sys.
temic condition called diphtheria.
If some of these bacteria be removed
from the organism and placed in arti-
fetal media, such as broth, under
proper conditions they grow aud multi
ply and produce the same Ioxine as
before This joxiue may now be
separated from the bacteria by fltra-
ton, and if introduced into an organ
ism by inoculatlon it will produce the
disease as readily as if had been formed
in the organism But the virulence of
the disease thus produced will vary
with the quantity of the tOXine inject
ed. Moreover. if the first dose given
is so small as To produce only slight
illneh@, il larger quantity may be intro
duced few days later without pro-
ducing a corresponding effect; aud pro-
gressively larger doses may be admin
istered from time to time, until at last
the animal receives with impunity,
doses many times larger than could
possibly be borne at first.
In the case of the phtheria toxine,
for example obtained, as has been said d,
by growing the diphtheria bacillus in
meat hrothl if fifteen drops of the
filtrate containing the toxine be in.
jected into a vein of horse, the animal
will be severely poisoned. But by re-
peating the Injection from time to time
in progressive doses, at the end of three
or four months the animal will bear a
/ uOSt Ol lNO bNllkiltA lilucS Nut OIlBludl
quantity. In other words, the animal
has become immune to the disease.
IT now a vein of the immune animal
be opened and some blood Withdrawn,
the serum of that blood (the other con-
s;ituents be removed) may be injected
into the system Of another animal or
human being without i'll effect, and the
animal or human heing thus inOou-
lated becomes immune 10 the disease in
virtue of the incubation. More than
that, if the organism inoculated had
already acquired the disease, the inocu-
lation, within reasonable limits, is
curative. For example, if "a child has
been exposed to diphtheria, noculaiion
with the serum OF horse rendered i'm
mune TO diphtheria as above described
will prevent Development OF the disease
At a later stage lnoculation tends to
cure the disease
These are the facts as applied in the
new serum treatment of diphthera.-

To GET RID OF WILD ONIONS. -
The only practicable way to get rid of
wild onions is by means of a systematic
and short rotation and the use of
smothering crops. The following is
suggested:
PlOw the land before any top sets are
found, and sow peas, two bushels per
acre. Cut the peas for hay, and chop
the land over with a outaway harrow,
and SOW in August crimson clover at
rate of 15 lbs. per acre, with a thin
scattering of winter oats. Cut oats
and clover together for hay, and put
the land in corn, and follow with win
ter oats and red clover, By the time
this Oat crop comes off the onions will
be about gone.

CORN IN THE SoUTH.-The Rirming

ton in the South is $11.S1 per acre,
while in the East it is $2S.O3. Cheap
corn will bring cattlO-raising to the
South, where the grain can be supple
mented with cheap cottonseed meal,
Already the decline in cattleraising in
the East has become apparent. The
New Englanders have stopped feeding
cattle on corn and feed them on cotton
seed meal shipped from the South"

greater number of them would soon be
