perquisits, and his Interpretation Of
the office was utter self effacement,
indefatigable charity, and love
to all men. His half-sister, who
managed his house, and endeavor'
ed strenuously to manage him a.
well, had no respect fer his VOW no,
to marry, and had picked out wife
for him-a very devout young lady
belonging to an old and wealthy
family, whom she often invited tc
the rectory and threw inthe priests
way when whenever opportunity
offered.
The woman Of the story is The
daughter OF a gambler who falls vio
lently in love with the young pries
and in spite Of himself he returns
her love. The fierce battle with
this woman and his female parish
toner's, and above all with himself
over the love Of this woman is
graphically told. The book is mol
without its bright spots and is inter
spcrsed with not little wit anc
humor.
The Rev. St. Clair seems to be
the authors idea Of what priest ol
preacher should be. In his Proc n
TO the book he says: -
"The diffe renee between a pries
and the laity is supposed to be that
the former il dedicated 10 the ser
vice Of Christ, abjuring all save
spiritual things, while the latter are
privileged to marry, and to minis
TO the material appetltes in various
ways, limited by moderation. Bu
you ask, what If the priest, also
enters wedlock and INDUCES in
other worldliness? Some one wisel
than | must then define the differ
ence.'
The reader thlt is looking sor {

that it makes strong plea Tor pit.

accomplished, and good looking,

himself to the service Of the church

Infectious Opihalma in Cattle.

Purdue University Experiment station, :
Aug ~. 1871
Sin g early in the 81 ring reports
have been received from stockmen
to the effect that strange eye dis
ease was aft citing the cattle. These
reports have been received from
widely separated localities, 81 owing
that the disease has quite general
distribution. In some pl ces the
cattle simply have sore eyes and in
others the affection is more serious,
and a greater or less number go
blind. The loss is no. SO much
from the number that are blinded, /,
as TO the unthriftiness occasioned,
and TO the diminished milk flow in
dairy cattle.
This disease is infectious and
when started in herd is likely to
attack large per cent. OF them be-
fore running its course. Ii occd-
sionally affects sheep, but rarely
horses. Ii has been attributed to a
variety Of causes, as the pollen from
some plants, and to dust. The dis
ease does usually occur at season
Of the year when both pollination
and dust are at the most irritating
stage, but we are inclined to believe
that these are only secondary causes.
The germs that have been found are
pus producers. This Station re-
CARDS the disease as one produced
by a special organism. The disease
is not new, having made its appear
ance in this State ten years ago, and
remained ever since.
|. The symptoms are local and gen
eral. The tody temperature is
raised, the appetite interferred with
and rumination checked. In the
mild cases these symptoms are moi
marked. When first affected one
or both eyes are held nearly closed
the lids swell, and tears pour ovel
the face, A whitish film forms ovel
the eyes which may become dense
The cornea may bulge forward, ow-
ing to the pres sure Of the abscess
from within. yellow spots form
from the size Of a pinhead 10 that Of
a grain Of corn, and from the mar
gin will radiate reddish lines. Ttese
are assesses, and when they heal
whitish scars will take their places
One eye may be attacked and then
the other. The course will last
from three to six weeks, but it rare
lily happens that there is complete
blindness in both eyes.
The treatment is comparatively
simple. Keep the badly affected
cattle in the shade Of woods. or ir
the barn if necessary, during the
middle Of the day, to prevent ag
gravati N. Locally apply equa
parts Of finely powdered boraciC
acid and calomel, by means Of Z
small insect powder blower. This
can be done quickly with little re-
straint, ard is eferable to an eye
wash for the COW.
