American War ID ed From Typhoid Fever
Carried by Flies.
The relations of insects and bacteria
to man are of the highest importance
and are only just beginning to be ap
precated in vague manner by the
public.
The extent to which diseases are
conveyed by insects is appalling
Scientists are daily making new dis
coveries of this character. AS a very
pertinent illustration of what takes
place it may be pointed out that the
majority of our soldiers lost in the late
war died from typhoid fever carried
by flies.
Texas fever is conveyed by the
Southern cattle tick. Professor Koch
found that the Tsetse fly, which causes
an enormous loss of cattle in Africa

The pink eye" of the Southern
United States is attributed to the horse

have to wear a veil to protect them

Flees played an important part in
causing the recent terrible outbreak
of bubonic plague in Asia. The horse

even men with the germs of anthrax.
Even without the intervention of
flies and other insects man is always
loaded with a swarm of microbes.A
well known bacteriologist recently set
about classifying the various orders of
bacteria which are found on the hui
man skin. He gave up the task after
he had counted two hundred kinds.
Every one of these different kinds
was found to the number of rarely
less than five million. Thus it seems
that every man carries about with
him microbes considerably exceeding
the entire population of the world.
Fortunately we are not utterly at
the mercy of these microbes. Very
often it is only the sick whom they
can hurt. Nature, who never creates
"A pest without supplying some means
of combating it. has furnished the hui
man body with several lines of de-
fence against the microbial hordes.
The first line of defence is the skin,
which most of the micO-OrganiSmS are
incapable of penetrating. 1t is Just
here that we perceive the dangers to
which we are exposed from the sting
ing insects. They introduce into the
blood germs which would otherwise
not be able to pass the skin. The com
mon house fly does not bite, but it
may spread infection by depoStng
the germs in the mouth, nose or eyes.
Besides the skin there is another
line of defence against the microbes
in the mucous membrane lining the
mouth. throat and digestive tract.

Keep a Flock of Sheep.

The farmers of the country should
turn their attention more generally to
sheep as meat producers, as well as for
wool, and the time will soon come
when this opinion will prevail and be
acted upon. Take 100 farmers in
every community and the average num-
Der of sheep per farmer will not exceed
twenty-five, says an exchange. Some
farms have no sheep where they would
be the most profitable farm animals
that could be kept. Sheep are assist
ants to the farmer in various ways.
They get at weeds and other undesir-
able vegetation on the farm in man
ner which is not possible for the farm
err to perform without expanding more
labor than is desired, and they convert
this material into mutton, the cost of
which is nothing, while the sheep
really perform certain service. No
matter how low prices may be there
are some farmers who would not do
without sheep, even if they were value.

consumed by the farmer himself, there
is never loss. They can Craze where
the COW cannot approach, and they will
eat foods hat are useless to the farmer
for other purposes.
They evenly spread their manure and
benefit the land upon which they feed.
That they improve the soil more than
may be known by some has been shown
by the fact that in England it is claim
ed that one hundred sheep hurdled on
one acre of land for fifteen days will
double the crop of grain, and this is
verified by the fact that on every En-
glish farm, no matter how high-priced
the land may be, will be found q flock

not keep sheep for wool, mutton being
his object always.
Farmers who expect to keep mutton
breeds have the advantage of selecting.
On rough land, where the focks are
somewhat large, the Southdown will
prove more suitable than the larger
breeds. 1t does not equal the Oxford
or Shropshire in size, but is unequaled
in quality of flesh. AS the Southdown
has black legs, the English farmers who
sell dressed carcasses always leave the
black skin on the legs as convincing
evidence of the quality of their mutton.
The Oxfords, Shropshires, and Hamp-
shires are also of excellent quality of
flesh, but thrive best on rich pastures.
Farmers who have never seen these
breeds would be astonished if a COM
parison could be made between them
and the ordinary scrub sheep. Mirror

No sucn Place ~ Gre,na Green.

The novelists haze woven a romance
about Gretna Green and its village
blacksmith which will last for all time,
and which for all time will supply Il
denouement to the wares of successive
professional story tellers. The sordid
facts of Gretna Green marriages and
the still more sordid details of the
Gretna Green registers are widely diff
ferent from the picturesque romance
which we associate with the days Of
postboys and the mad racing and chas-
ing through Carlisle. The history of
Gretna Green and its marriages rests
upon the abominabc marriage laws
of Scotland. We call them abomina

fish genealogy. The marriage laws in
Scotland were and are for they re-

and therein lay the temptation and at
