The Germs of Consumption.

Dr. R. L. Watkins of New York claims to have discovered the indus or nest wherein the germ of consumption is nourished. Instead of waiting for the destroying disease to develop he says physicians may now detect the soil fa- vorable to it's growth. By eliminating this condition the disease may be cured practically before it's inception. For years Dr. Watkins has been working with drops of blood taken from various persons to see whether or not the blood has q story to tell long in advance of the appearance of disease. He has been able to anticipate by one year the de- velopment of apoplexy, rheumatism. paralysis and cancer by the pathogno- mcnic condition of the blood.

Iniquitous Lumber Tariff.

"The proposed tariff on lumber, <" the Boston Transcript (Rep says, is sim ply measure to pick tho pockets and crush the industry of large, useful and influential class of American citizens. It is uneconomie, unscientific, suicidal The statements upon which this schedule was made up are shown to have been insidious and misleading, The result will be to strip the country not of an annually recurring income, but of it's white pine principal, which at present rates is within ten years of exhaustion, and also to ruin large class of business men in this ccrutry who deserve better things. It does not seem possible that mon claiming to represent the people will permit such measure to have the force 0f law If they do, it will cease to be folly and become iniquity."

THE St. Louis Republic says that Arkansas could not give better proof of progress than is offered in the good roads law which has been passed by both Houses of the State Legislature and signed by the Gov ernor. Provision is made in the law for the appointment by county courts of road and bridge commits sions whose duty it shall be to di
 vide the counties into road districts and appoint overseers. All male persons over Is and under 45 shall be subject to road duty for five days in the year, but the number of days may be increased by the courts to ten. Exemption may be obtained by the payment of $l per day. County courts are empowered to levy taxes not to exceed 3 mills on all
 taxable property for road purposes. Convicts may be worked on the roads Of the counties at the rate Of 75 cents per day. Good roads are essential to the growth and pros perity of a State, and the passage of laws providing for them is the best proo of the intelligence, pub lie spirit and enterprise of the peo- pie. It shows that they are awake to the advantages of modern facili- ties The road law of Arkansas is not perfect, but it is long step in the right direction and will be of in- estimable value to the State.
