THE COUNTRY NEW SPAPER.

The country newspaper is an impor-
tant agency in the cultivation Of pub.
lie spirit, and however humble it may
seem beside :he metropolitan daily it
has place in popular education which
is too little regarded. While the edi-
itor is not often above the rank of a
practical printer there are many per-
sons in most of the suburban towns
clegymen, lawyers, teachers and 9th
ers-who have the leisure and ability
to use the paper as the vehicle of in
Huence over their fellow-citizens.
The country newspaper is usually
local in its news, and the very people
who might make it fresh and sugges-
tive are those who complain most
loudly OF its meagre character. Short
articles pertaining to local interests
are always welcomed in its columns,
and the men and women who most de-
sire to make home life in the country
rich and influential can best do 80 by
contributing freely to its columns Of
what they have in mind. In some
places this has been done, and the re-
suit in the quickened life of the CON-
munity has been gratifying.-Boston
Herald.

THE RENEWAL A STRAIN.

Vacation is over. Again the school
bell rings at morning and at noon,
again with tens of thousands the hard
est kind Of work has begun, the re-
newal of which is a mental and physi-
cal strain to all except the most rug
ged. The little girl that few days
ago had roses on her cheeks, and the
little boy whose lips were then so red
you would have insisted that they had
been "kissed by Strawberries" have
already lost something of the appear
ance of health. Now is time when
many children should be given tonic,
which may avert much serious trouble,
and we know of no other 80 highly to
be recommended as Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, which strengthens the nerves,
perfects digestion and assimilation,
and aids mental development by build
ing up the whole system.

isolated and the stable thoroughly dis.
infected by the application of white
wash in which carbolic acid has been
mixed. The top soil, if stalls are not
foored, should be taken off and new
clean earth or clay put in. Troughs
should be thoroughly scalded and wash
ed with solution of carbolic acid. All
damaged feeds hould he removed from
stable and under no consideration
should it be fed to other stock. This
is very essential.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES.
"The preventive measures consist
Of having the stable we'll ventilated
drained and lighted and clean at all
times, and see that horses are properly
fed and cared for. Water should be
pure and not contaminated by surface
drainage. Feed should be clean and
Of best quality and should be given in
liberal qualities when the horse is at
work and rations should be reduced
when horse is idle. When horse is
put in pasture it is imperative that
pasture is at least reasonably free
from weeds, rank and wild grasses.
The latter are frequently seen on bot
tom lands not adapted for cultivation
and which are made to yield a very
inferior quality of hay, and which are
also used as pasture for stock.
GAS this disease has been quite dis
astrous in Maryland the past few
years the foregoing advice, if adopted,
will greatly lessen the danger of loss
to horse owners, farmers especially,
who have been the heaviest losers.
OF MIASMATIc ORIGIN.
"This disease is absolutely non-con-
taglous, and horse can be moved to
another stable with impunity. That
the poison is volatile to certain ex-
tent is rather evident, since it has
been claimed to have been carried
quarter of a mile by the wind. That
it is Of miasmatic origin 1 do not
question. since every condition clearly
demonstrates this.
"The term miasma defined means a
poison generated in soils whose ener-
gies are not expended in the produc-
ton of healthy vegetation. 1t has
been estimated that this one cause has
produced two-thirds of the mortality
occurring in countries where heat,
moisture and vegetable decomposition
combine to promote its development"

BOUDOIR CHAT,

Lemons are not only healthful, but
they are also beautifiers. Lemon juice
and magnesia, if applied to the face and
hands, will render the skin white and
soft.
A teaspoonful Of lemon juice in
warm water in an excellent remedy
for stained finger nails.
1t is also a good tooth wash, which
makes the breath pure and sweet.
For headaches, a slice Of lemon plac-
ed on the temples, will sometime gives
immediate relief.
We cannot always avoid the i'm
pure water, but we can improve the
hard quality of our tathing water. A
little ammonia or borax will soften the
water. One girl, with clean, healthy
skin, keeps pitcher especially for her
face water, and when it has been
filled each day, she drops in large
tablespoonful of borax and there is
no more bother.
With the much vaunted feminine
cleanliness, world of fault might he
found. 1t concerns the hands, which
must acquire all sorts of germs from
handling doorknobs, store-railings,
paper and money. Some women have
the very bad habit of putting piece of
money between their teeth for tenn
porary safe-keeping. Can you even
imagine some of the places that money
has visited? F? Many Of US never think
OF washing the hands unless they look
soiled, and yet the dirt which shows
itself is not the kind to fear, for that
would find a good chance of being re-
moved.
There are several ways of improv-
ing the appearance of the hands. A
simple way to keep the hands soft and
white, is to rub them at night with
sweet-almond oil. wearing loose-fitting
gloves to protect the bed linen.
A little tincture of benzoin used in
the tepid water with which the face is
bathed, will tend to make the skin
both smooth and fine grained.
Touching the eyebrows with vase
line or castor oil, will promote their
growth. 1t should not be done too
often Or the eye brows will grow harsh
and unruly. Sponging with very
slrong sage tea will darken the eye
brows slightly and withou. harm.

DR.. Harry A. Meisner, State Veter-
marian, has prepared an article upon
the socalled cerebro-spinal meningitis
among livestock, which will he Of great
value to farmers and stockmen through.
out the State. The article was written
especially to meet the present condi-
tion of the disease in Southern Mary
land, but it is also applicable to condi-
tions in other parts of the State,
where, according to DR.. Meisner, the
disease is more prevalent than it would
be if more care was taken in the treat
ment of stock. He says:
HISTORY OF THE DISEASE.
"Cerebro spinal meningitis is also
known as putrid sore throat, cerebro-
spinal fever, spasms of the neck, blind
staggers and stomach staggers. 1t
has also been spoken of as cerebro-
spinal anemia, but this is a misnomer,
as the post-mortem LESSONS reveal a
hyper;emic and not an anemic condi-
ton. The better term would he MAS
matte cerebro-myelitis.
"This disease was first observed in
America about the year 1850, where it
appeared in New York with great
virulence. In Germany the first obser-
vations were made in 1865. In Den
mark it has appeared annually since
1852. In the year 1876 it existed in
an epizootic state in Egypt, and in
Cairo and it's suburbs it caused the
death of 5000 horses, 700 mules and
200 donkeys.
at is miasmatic affection of the
horse, which is seen also in the mule,
OK. goat and dog. 1t Is most frequent
ly seen in the horse and sheep. Young
animals, especially lambs, wethers and
strong colts, are predisposed to it; yet
age grants no immunity. 1t may oc-
cur sporadically, but usually appears
as an enzooty in stable, city or farm
ing district, and may or may not be
localized, but may spread over an ex-
tended area, along rivers, valleys or
mountains, entailing great loss in its
course.
ITS MANY CAUSES.
Among the predisposing causes
may be mentioned bad drainage, low,
swampy places frequently seen in sta
bles situated on streets which have no
drainage, stables that are badly lighted
and ventilated. The presence of water
is also a factor in the causation, as we
frequently find this disease at the COM
mencement of the wet months in
autumn or summer.
"Vegetable fermentation is another
of the predisposing causes, as spelling
hay, scrapings Of food found on old
barn floors, as a fungus is found in the
hayseed and dust; feeding decayed po-
tatoes, corn cookie "a tall purple-fow-
cred week of the pink family which
grows in grain tields) either in feed or
in rye used for bedding, excessive use
Of Indian corn, worm eaten corn, moldy
or musty hay or straw, drinking water
from impure or contaminated wells or
cisterns, brewers grains, decomposed
ensilagr, moldy fodder, spoiled grain,
etc. 1t is frequently seen in districts
where typhoid fever is prevalent in
the human family.
Yet in spite of all the foregoing as
causing factors, it is frequently seen
in stables where conditions from a sani-
tary standpoint are all that could be
expected, also where horses are grazed
upon pastures free apparently from
any deleterious matters and whose
