The Latest Antitoxino.

IIcQlclle Is lHuetu u pIOkIoSeifo nOi-
ence. True, it has made claims in the
past fowtyears that have never been sub
stantiated, but it has made some mar
velous strides within that period never
theless.
It's latest triumph is in the discovery
of another antitoxine for blood poison
irc and its resulting malady, lockjaw.
II it succeeds in conquering it, one OF
fhe NEST sinister and stubborn of human
maladies will be deprived Of its terrors.
Almost everybody knows that blood,
poisoning is an exceedingly painful and
usually fatal disease. Tetanus, or lock-
law, often results. The disease has its
characteristic microbe, which has been
recognized, isolated and reproduced by
artificial culture. The tetanus a%ntitoxine
is slmilar in nature and action and in
method of preparation to the a%ntitoxine
Of diphtheria. 1t is put up in four
forms--a dry powder, a liquid solution
and in two degrees Of strength. One
record of a cure having been made from
it in a German hospital has been old
cially and infinitely given. 1t appears
that a young man experienced, after a
thorough wetting, severe pains and stiff
ness in the muscles Of the neck and
threat. Two days after a physician was
called, who prescribed treatment, but
the patient continued to get worse. FL
nally, after about ten days of suffering,
symptoms Of tetanus had developed so
violently hat he was transferred to u
hospital. A careful examination reveal
ed a small cut or scratch under the
right ear. 1t had nearly healed and was
so slight i'll outward appearance that it
was not at first noticed. The patient
continued to grow rapidly worse. The
usual treatment seemed to be OF no
avail. There being no doubt of a fully
developed case Of t~etanus, 8 grams OF
the so called hundred unit a%ntitoxine
were dissolved in so grams of water and
injected hypodermioally in three places
on the breast. During the evening of the
same day a slight improvement was OBJ
served. This condition was maintained
for two or three days, when the acute
symptoms gradually returned. Finally
a second dose was administered, and
from that time improvement was so
rapid and sustained that in IS days the
patient was discharged from the hos
pital at his own request.
The physicians in charge maintain
that this Wa a typical and conclusive
case, in which life could not have been
saved by any other treatment known.
They also maintain that the disease
might have been arrested and shortened
had the a~ntitoxine been administered
before the case bad become fully devel-
oped. The a~ntitoxine has been used ex-
.perimentally i'll this country and in
France, the tests having been made upon
animals. IL every case the indications
are that it's use entails no injurious 1e-
suits.
1t is a little too sccu, of course, to cs-
innate the exact value Of the new rem
edy, but physicians seem to have great
confidence in it. And physicians are
proverbially conservative, as they have
a reason and a right to be.

Camphor Trees in Florida.

The failure of the worlds supply of
camphor would deprive mankind of a
great boon. There is probably no
actual danger of such failure, yet the
camphor trees of China. Formosa and
Japan have been destroyed so rapidly in
recent years that the question has been
discussed whether they can be replaced.
IL would be desirable, if possible, to
cultivate them in lands lying nearer to
the great centers of civilization, and ex-
periments are said to have shown that
me climate of Florida is well suited to
their growth. Cultivated in Florida by
scientific methods, 1t is claimed that the
HE OF the trees could be saved, instead
OF being destroyed, in the process of col
iecting the precious gum, as has hither-
70 been the case in the east.-Youth's

CHEAP WAY TO GET NEWS.
Economy shown by Business Men on
the Alley al" Trains.

Economy shown by Business Men on
the Alley al" Trains.
Even a penny is a large amount Of
money to people these days. In fact, it
has looked quite large to considerable
portion of the travelling public ever
since the transportation lines COM
menced operations, and men have been
accustomed to read papers while in
transit and abandon them when near
ing their getting-of places. This read
ing the paper on the trains is as much
an industry with many men as the
daily business at their offices. They
buy the papers AT the stations where
they get on the alley ~ trains. read
them hurriedly while riding north
ward and toss them aside at Twelfth
street. They are of the class who stand
up between the two last stations in or
der TO crowd to the front door and get
off first.
In every car there are always men
who do not rush TO get off. They play
with watch chains, gaze at the readers
and vary the monotony by looking out
Of the windows. They have no papers,
but they want them. So when the busy
readers rush to the front and leave
their dailies behind these thrifty men
prowl about under seats and on seats
looking for chance to procure the
news at no cost to themselves. The
trainmen, of course, are busy on the
platforms and have no opportunity to
pick up the papers when the owners
have abandoned them.
Now, these economists have favorite
sheets. They seize the first at hand on
the chance of finding one of their favor
i've publication. Then they hold on
eTimly, still looking eagerly about. II
they locate one they most affect they
seize upon it with look of exultation,
drop the other and pass out of the car
calmly folding up the paper as If they
had been immersed in the news and
never noticed how near it was to Con-
gress street. It's cheap and nobody no.
tees them, as they suppose.-Chicago

GOOD GARDEN SOIL.
IL Is One In which the Atmosphere
Can Circulate Freely.


What is or what is not good garden
soil is often great question. The Gus
toner often complains to the nursery
men that, though he planted his trees
in the very best soil, yet he had little
success. Very few people seem to un-
derstand that good soil is one in which
the atmosphere can freely circulate.
The earth must not allow the air to cir
culate to such an extent as to lose its
moisture, but it must have an abund
Gnce of small spaces which will contain
small quantities of air before plants
will thrive. We sometimes speak of "air
plants" but, in truth, all plants are air
plants, no matter whether growing on
rocks or trees or whether growing in
the earth. Air is of far more conse-
uuence to the roots than to the leaves.
When, therefore. we have a stiff clay
earth to deal with, we make good soil
by applying sand, or vegetable matter
which when 1t rots will leave small
spaces in which air may be collected.
1t is for the same reason that we crush
hard clods, for hard clod has no air
spaces. When broken to pieces-pul-
verizing is the technical term-we
simply give the chance for atmospheric
mir to spread throughout the whole
mass. For the same reason. what is
known as a wet soil is bad soil, be-
cause water drives out the air. There is
no air in earth which is water-tight. II
has been noted that the use of hole in
the bottom of a flower pot is rot so
much to allow the escape of water as It
is to permit fresher air to flow in the
spaces of earth when the water leaves
1t. In the language of gardening,
good soil is one which is perfectly
"aerated. "-Meehan's Monthly.

next to the Columbian, the best ever held in
this country. For the closing month, spe
cial attractions have been arranged, and
the rates from all parts of the country have
been made lower than ever before known.
The location NASHVILLE, TENN is on the
main line of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad, directly on its through car route
between the North and South, and the trip
in either direction via that city can be
made as cheaply, if not cheaper, than via
any other route. Ask your ticket agent
for rates, or write to G.. p. Atmore, General
Passenger Agent, Louisville, KY, for rates

CURING KICKING COWS.
An Ounce of Kindness Is Worth a
Pound of Pounding.

an Ouhcc OF hindness LIS Worth
Pound of Pounding.
Much of the trouble caused by kick
ing cows is caused by bad management
on the part of the mixer. In our expe-
rience there is not one COW In a dozen
but which, If kindly treated, will soon
dispense with the habit of kicking with
out severe measures being necessary.
1t pays to be gentle and quiet in hand
ling the cows, and to let them know that
you are their friend and will not harm
them. They will soon learn to respect
you IL you will treat them kindly. 1t
is all well enough for COW to know and
understand that the one who does the
milking is the business manager" but
kick for the good reason that the milk
ing process hurts them, says writer in
the National Stockman. There are also
occasionally cows that kick from pure
meanness. However, these make ex-
cellent beef.
The gentle Jerseys are fast taking the
place of other breeds on the farm, and
the ones we have are real pets, as gem
tie, quiet and well behaved as need be.

them, but often milk them for the first
time in the yard, without even fasten-
ing them, though we are well aware
that the Jersey has plenty of mettlc,
any amount oft, when conditions arc
favorable for its development. Let the
dog chase the cows to and from the pas
ture, and this mettle will soon be APP
parent, as will be the decrease in the
yield of milk.
There is another item in regard TO
breaking cows to lead. a COW that is
kindly treated can usually be caught in
the pasture by placing your arm about
her neck. If caught in this way they
will seldom make any effort to get
away. Place fiye-ring halter on the
COW, as this does not hurt like rope
around the horns or the neck, and most
cows will lead easily with five-ring
halter. A good motto for dairymen to
put in their hats is this: An ounce of
kindness is worth pound of pounding.
