Family discipline is still maintained
in some American families, as Of course
it ought TO be in all A small boy got a
silver in his foot, and his mother ex-
pressed her intention Of putting poul-
tice on the wound. The boy, with the
natural foolishness which is bound up
in the heart Of child, objected to the
proposed remedy.
II won't have any poultice," he de-
clared.
Eyes, you will" said both mother
and grandmother firmly. The majority
was two to one against him, and at bed
time the poultice was ready.
The patient was not ready. On the
contrary, he resisted so stoutly that q
switch was brought into requisition. It
was arranged that the grandmother
should apply the poultice while the
mother, with uplifted stick, was to
stand at the bedside. The boy was told
that if he opened his mouth" he
would receive something that would
keep him quiet.
The hot poultice touched his foot.
and he opened his mouth.
"You"-he began.

applied the poultice.
Once more the little fellow opened
his mouth.

But the uplifted switch awed him
into silence.
In a minute more the poultice was
firmly in place and the boy was tucked
in bed

No Dust.

The disposition to see pleasant side
to everything is often commented upon
as a most desirable possession, but it is
possible TO exaggerate and imagine a
benefit which does not exist.
A party of tourists were detained at a
hotel near a lake by severe rainstorm.
Finally it was decided to cross the lake,
and one lady of the party agreed to the
plan cheerfully.
"Oh, it will be much better to take
the boat even if it does rain," she said,
land, one thing, we shan't have any
dust on the boat this morning. -

THE POPE'S ENCYCLlCAL.
a Recently Made Public Paper to
the American Episcopate, in
Which Important Points
Are Touched Upon and
Explained.

The papal encyclical addressed to
the American epscupate was made
puhlic recently, says Il press dispatch.
aud a bret resume follows.
In tue document the Pope recalls the
tact that he associated himself with

After pointing out that the first
Catholic bishop ia America was a great
friend OF George Washington, Falher
of his county, the Pope shows bow
the episcopal councils, aided by the
o'eadt h OF view aud the equity of Au-
erlcau laws, assured the DEVELOPMENT

HOG CHOLERA REMEDY.
omcisl Repert on the Treatment and Pre-
vention of the Diseasa

With estimated losses Of between
S1o,o0o,Ooo and SIS, 100000 from hog
cholera and swine plague in the United
States, the discussion of the treatment
and means of prevention of these dis
eases in a bulletin issued by the agri.
cultural department is of great value
to the farmers of this country.
The bureau OF animal industry has
been conducting an exhaustive inves-
tigation of this subject and fnds that
the agents which destroy the germs of
one OF these fatal diseases arc also eff.
fective in destruction of the germs of
the other. Both are spread by infec-
ton and their course varies from one
day to three weeka Both ara caused
by bacteria The germs Of hog chcl-
era, says the report are very hardy
and vigorous, while those of the swine
plague are very delicate and easily de-
stroyed- Tho latter are found to be
present In practically all herds of
swine, but the former must be intro
duced from infected herds
The most efficient virus remedy
tried by the governments agents is
the following: Wood, charcoal
sulphur, sodium sulphste and anti
mony sulphide, one pound each;
sodium chloride. sodium. bi-carbonate
and sodium hyposulphite, two pounds
each. These Gre to be completely
pulverized and mixed, and o daily
lose of q large tablespoonful for
zach 200 pounds weight Of hogs
given Tho medicine may be used
also as preventative of these dis
eases 1t should be put in the feed of
The whole herd. To insure successful
treatment the animals should be kept
In dry and comfortable quarters away
from drafts of air. Five or six
months should be allowed to elapse
after an outbreak before new hogs
are purchased or any of the old herd
sold.
The report recommends q rigid
quarantining of newly-bought hogs
and the prevention of their joining
those already on the farm for at least
six weeks During the warm months
OF the year the swine should have
plenty of young grass or clover;
crushed or rolled wheat should be fed

OUR Washington letter says that
'the tariff receipts Of the government
are rapidly increasing" There has
never been a doubt in our mind that
such result would ens1e after a reas-
enable Lapse of time 10 allow all the
clauses to become operative, especially
that OF the income, the wniskey and
sugar tax. Just at the present, how
ever, the government is in an embar-
RAISING situation, with constant re-
dlction of the G)id Reserve daily oc-
cIrrence; an obstruction in Colsress
by the silver mel and an imperative
necessity 81 bond issue staring it in

THE prospects at this writing are
that there will be no financial legisla-
ton at this sc ession OF Congress. This
is fact to be regretted FOR there is q
general acknowledgement of the neces-
sity for il. In fac; there is a general
demand for it, Then why is it thar
the Congress, which is supposed to rep
resent the people, cannot get together
on matter that Is ofthe utmost impOr-
tance to the general welfare OF the peO-
pie and the country. But for the Re
publicans this would be possible. Then
with the aid of few disgruntled Dem
ocrats, who are willing to accept moth
ing but what they, in their superior
wisdom insist is the country's need,
stand out and make the whole country
suffer. The fact that financial legisla-
ton is necessary does not speak well for
the Republican prophesy of restora-
ton of unprecedented prosperity if fthey
were restored to power. The plain
fact is that the return of the Republi-
cans to power has nothing to do with
the matter, with the possible exception
that it has created still greater uncer-
tainty than had existed before. and
therefore return of better times is i'm
possible at the present, and makes nee
essary the financial legislation that the
Republicans will not permit. If the fl
nancial depression was caused by the
fact that the Democrats were 10 assume
control Of the government, there is no
good reason why the prospective return
OF the Republicans to power should re-
store the confidence of the people. But
the confidence OF the people doesn't
seem to he restored to any extent, and
that the statement of the Republicans
was bosh Of the worst kind, has been
thoroughly demonstrated.

Low Prices for Farms.

Says the Baltimore Herald: Com.
plant comes from some OF the Mary
land counties that land is selling ut re-
maTkably low prices. Ia cases where
estates have been sold for the sett e.
ment OF inherit4nces or under mort
gage foreclosures, they are said to bring
under the hammer, not more than one
half Of their assessed value. An in-
s'ance is cited Of large farm near the
Patuxent landing where PA acres. as
sessed at 50 600, was sold for s. 900, in
the settlement OF an estate.
There is no discountiug the fact thet
farm values are very much depressed.
Real estate everywhere is down to he'd
rock, and there is, perhaps, no immedi-
ate outlook for improvement. The
same causes which have been IN opera
tion to reduce the prices of iron, cotton
and wheat to the loa est mark In many
years have created shriukage in farm
lands, which has left many owners of
freehulds "land poor" as the phrase is.
Relief from this condition of affairs
Will come with the revival of trade aud
industry. Moreover. an encouraging
sign is in the sky in that buyers from
other states are coming into Maryland
and taking up some of the land offered
for sale. The movement is considera-
bic on the Eastern Shore. and it has
been remarked upon in other parts Of
the commonwealth.
This will have tendency to i'm
prove the market for farm lands dur
Dg the coming year, and the hope
nay be expressed that the maximum
depression has been passed, and that
gradual lifting of the cloud will follow.

Fsirview Seminary Burned.

Fairview Seminary, in the town of
Galthershurg, Montgomery County,
aud used AS school for young ladies,
was completely de>toyed by fire last
Sunday evening. The principal, DR..
Charles II. Waters, discovered the
flames in the third story aud gave the
alarm. The Volunteer Company re-
sponded aud did all in its power,
but with no avail. The property is
owned by Mr.. John b. Dawson, and
the loss is estimated 81 300, with an in
suranee OF 5000. Most Of the furni-
tnre and household goods were lost, as
well as much of the personal property
OF the pupils, none Of whom were in
anyway injured. II is thought the
cause OF the ccnflagration was an over
heated ilue. Work will be continued
in the Opera House, aud the school
will be rebuilt as soon as possible.

A laboring man writes to the New
York Sun that after 20 years experience
he would rather be at the mercy of his
employer than at the mercy of labor
leader. The plain fact of the matter is
that the greater portion of the miseries
that afflict the working men ofthis coun-
try are brought upon them, not by the
greed of capital, but by the labor agita-
tors. The longer the agitator is allow
ed to oagitate the greater will be the mis-
cries endured by the laboring class.
