impression that the grippe is extremely
fatal, more so than the cholera or yell
low fever. In reality this is not So The
list of deaths published in the newspa-
perS during an epidemic of the grippe is
long, and gives one the idea that the
disease is an extremely virulent one.
But while the absolute mortality, that is.
the actual number Of Deaths is great, the
relative mortality from the grippe is
much smaller than it seems, that is, there
are few people that die of the grippe
compared to the total number afflicted,
and many Of the cases are in reality due
to diseases such as the pneumonia, sec
ondary to, but caused by the grippe.
In cholera the percentage Of deaths is
larger, and thus the grippe is less dan
gerous to the community at large, vet
infinitely more dangerous to the individ-
uals attacked by it.
Ordinarily, If a person Is strong and
healthy, the grippe is trif1ing disease,
for while it may PROSTATE the person for
few days and leave him weak after
the attack for a while, the feverish symp-
toms will usually pass off in from three
to seven days, leaving a cough which
may persist for a longer time, accord
ing to exposure of the person and a pre-
disposition to cough. When the WEAKNESS
and headache and all-tired-out feeling
1lrSC comes on, treat 1t as you would an
ordinary cold, only with little more
care to avoid exposure to the. elements,
and it will probably run it's disagreeable
course in a few days, and all will be
we'll. Take a gentle aperient, or perhaps
a dose of EPSON salts or castor oil at
night, and soak the feet in hot water
just before going to bed. Then get into
bed between blankets, with a hot brick
or a hot water bag at the feet, and take
light sweat. Probably the fever will
be of such degree that it will take some
time to open the pores of the skin and
equalize the circulation so that you will
sleep warm and snug, and not be troubled
with profuse sweating
A glass of hot lemonade lust before
going to bed will be a good thing to
excite -perspira ton, and is pleasant as
well. If the throat is very dry boil a
little whole f1axseed in the water before
pouring it onto the lemon juice. If you
are not morally opposed to it hot toddy
is good in the grippe, for there is an
actual depression of vitality which NAV

thirst is not SO great as 1t might seem,
and 1t depends chiefly upon a strong reso-
luton whether the treatment shall be
perSevered in. If there is much fever
or any disturbance of the stomach, ami
NAL food should be, denied but usually
no change is needed other than to take
thick buildings and vegetables, with or
without meat, and toasted bread merely
moistened with tea or milk. No fluid
must be taken at meals, for single

after twelve hours abstinence has par
tally checked it. AT first sight this rem
edy seems worse than the disease, but
once tried those subject to colds will never
try any other after they have experienced
the good effects. In most cases no evil
can result, but those having an irritable
stomach or suffering from kidney or
bladder troubles cannot well adopt the
remedy. From the effects of this treat
ment there follows another important
fact, that moderation In the use of
liquids is one of the best preventives
against catching cold, for If there Is a
large quantity of water or other fluid in
the body there will be an increase of
perspiration and therefore greater Habil-
ity to taking cold.
In the weakly and aged the influenza
is comparatively fatal disease as bron-
cEftis or pneumonia is very likely to be
induced by or follow an attack of the
grippe. The patient should be put to
bed and kept there until all danger is
over and especial care should be taken
against chilling the person by exposure
or draughts. Strong or weak broths, as
the case allows, should be used. and if
the strength is failing wine should be
given, Or whisky and egg and milk.

interested in these matters, and several
other similar Institutions have followed
the lead set them here in Minnesota.
The course consists of a series of lee
lures by the physicians of the school,
some instruction in physiology, hygiene,
practical sanitation, heating, ventilation
and chemistry, with SPECIAL reference to
the potency and effect of familiar drugs.
The first class of these nurses and at
tendants graduated four years ago, aft
er attending lectures for two years and
undergoing the same length of practical
training. Each year since then q class
has graduated from the school regular
ly.
The epileptic hospital is one of the
most perfectly fitted in the state The
operating room in itself is gem of Its
kind, and so arranged as to afford the
most perfect facilities for sterilization.
The whole room can be flooded at mo-
ment's notice, and the faucets can be
worked with a treadle, so that after the
physician has asepticized his hands he can
turn on the water if he wishes without
touching the faucets at all. The elevator
is large enough to carry a stretcher, and
the patient can be wheeled while still
on his bed into it, carried upstairs, and
into the operating room, without being
moved from a reclining position.
A microscope, an X-ray machine and
a camera afford the latest and best ap-
paratus for biological investigation when
desired. The official organ of the Train
ing School for the Predetermined

here in the new printing establishment,
which has lately been added to the school
equipment. The paper is called the Jour

this is the largest and most imposing,

or air. it may be by water or earth, and
dependent upon no endemic elements,
that is, conditions Of uncleanliness or
lack of hygienic precautions among the
people, which characterize endemic dis
eases, or diseases originating in or among
the people afflicted.
No absolute statements can be made
as to the conditions under which the
epidemic OF the grippe occurs. Observa-
tons show that in many cases condi-
tons exist similar to those at st. Peters,
burg, in the epidemic of 1882, when aft
er an extremely cold night the tempera-
ture suddenly rose 80 degrees and the
next morning 10000 people were taken
i'll with the influenza. Thus, after a
spell of cold weather, a sudden thaw
often brings influenza in it's wake, and
it has often been observed that epidem-
les Of the grippe occur after a heavy,
noisome fog, so dense that it would seem
as if the germs of the influenza darkened
the air. 1t has also been noticed that
the epidemic seems to follow a westerly
course, or one from the south towards
the northwest, and this in turn has been
magnetic element in the disease, or that
it is connected in some mysterious way
with magnetic currents.
Some have believed that the grippe is
contagious, and those extremely fearful,
afflicted with a species of nOsophobia,
that is, fear Of disease, or rather Of
catching disease, have and do take alb
surd precautions to avoid contact or
proximity with those afflicted with the in
huenza but all in vain, for there is no
individual precaution that can be taken
that Will protect any person from an at
tack Of the grippe when 1t is in the air.
For instance, the crew of a vessel may
be afflicted with the disease when the
disease laden wind blows off shore upon
them, even though they have not been
ashore in an infected district. very
curious example of this is the case of
the crew of the Stag, which arrived off
London on the Sd of April, 1888, the day
when all London was stricken down with
the influenza. Half an hour after coming
to anchor, at 2 o'clock, the wind being
off shore, forty men were down with
was increased to sixty, while the next
day 100 were sick. Such facts dispose
of the theory Of contagion, although it is
possible that one person may catch the
disease from another.
Another very peculiar circumstance
about the influenza is that shortly before
or during the epidemic catarrh animals
and birds are afflicted with epizootic dis
eases, having similar effects upon them
as the influenza eXerts upon man, chiefly
the extreme prostration of strength and
sudden invasion.

by some that a retaining wall be built
the entire length of the bluff, and if this
is done it will cost the city at least
$25, 900. This will not likely be done for
some time, as temporary arrangements
will probably take its place.
This bluff is ninety-two feet high, ana
is located in place where there is
great deal of traffic. The stairway which
is built at its face is a thoroughfare by
which many people come and go to reach
the main part of the city. 1t is the only
means of reaching beautiful point at
the top of the bluff which is known as
Prospect plateau.
When the retaining wall is built so as
to stop disintegration and render the bluff
safe it will be something that will add
to the beauty of the city, giving high,
elevated plain from which can be seen
one of the most beautiful prospects II

on the West side.
The bluff on the West side is perhaps
the best known of all these sandstone
bluffs, as it has already cost the city
large sum of money. 1t is located on
South Wabasha street, and the process
of disintegration, as it goes rapidly on
year after year, makes it necessary for
the city to expend large sums of money
to keep the street below safe and passa-

About two years ago the city was en-

runs along the top of the bluff. The
earth and stone that had to be removed
in order to continue the paving was be,

weight became too great for the soft
stone, and suddenly the top Of the bluff
gave way and precipitated several large
stones and quantity of earth to the foot
of the hill. 1t happened that one of the

Medical Notes.

The grippe is in many of It's character
istics nothing but 'cold,' but it is of
the combination Or compound variety,
including a cold in the head, a bronchi-
It's, and even some affection of the lungs.
Like a cold, it's symptoms are those of
fever, but these symptoms come on more
suddenly, and are more severe in char
acter. These symptoms are somewhat
as follows: There is a sudden sense Of
chiIliness and perhaps the patient has
the shivers; headache soon follows,
with a feeling of tightness across the
forehead; the eyes water and smart; the
nose runs" copiously and sneezing is
frequent; there is a feeling of dryness
and heat in the throat; a troublesome
cough ensues, and perhaps there is OPP
pressed breathing. So far the symptoms
are those of an acute catarrh, but the
essential difference in the grippe is the
sudden and extreme prostration in
strength occurring almost at the onset
Of the disease, even in those of great
vitality and strength; a debility thar
often remains long after the catarrhal
symptoms have subsidized. With this
subdual of strength there is also an
extreme soreness of the muscles, as if
they had been bruised or greatly IA
tigued, and there is also, dull, annoying
pain in every bone in the body that
would suggest rheumatism, if the grippe
wasn't in evidence.
The grippe is by no means new dis
ease. The Italians named it influenza,
the influence, using the effect of the
cause to name the result, and it has
also been called epidemic catarrhal fever
and malignant coryzo (cold in the head,
but by whatever name it is called, the
effect is just as bad. The Italians call
ed it influenza because they believed it
to be due to a mysterious influence in
the air, and so it is, but they knew
nothing about the germ theory when
they named it. It is the best example
of an epidemic disease, epidemic being

In various parts of the valley of the
upper Mississippi are found bluffs Of a
peculiar formation. They are composed
of what is commonly known as st. Peter
sandstone, and are peculiar inasmuch as
they are rapidly undergoing disintegra-
ton from the effects of the atmosphere.
At their foot may be found at any time

sand except that it appears to have no

really is varies in color from white to

These bluffs are found in different .parts
of the valley, but are most plentiful in
the vicinity of St. Paul. There are a
number Of them to be found on the east
bank of the river opposite Fort Smelling
and the soldiers home, also number
are found in the city. Among those in
the city are the ones along the railroad

AGRICULTURAL BULLETIN
Compilation of the Exp ,riment Sta
 tion's Timely Hints.

Bulletin No. l5, issued by the Uni vers.ty of Arizona Agricultural Experi- ment station November 20, is q cornpil- ation of the Timely Hints to Farm CTS" issued during the preceding thir- teen months and forms a neat little pamphlet on subjects of interest to all Arizona agriculturists.
 The subjects handled are as follows:
 Something Worth Knowing About Mud; "Legumes for Forage and Green Manuring' Sugar Beets:" The Dairy Cow and the Weather" Exterm- ination of Gophers and Ants" "The Rise of the Alkali;" "Lippia Nudinora. 2"
 In respect to the last named subject it mary be q ma tier of fnforma ton to some to say it is the name of a plant from which great things are expected in this region in the way of protecting the ranges. It is not a forage plant but is a creeper and None that grazing animals are averse to. It's value lies in that it is a wonderful agent for hold ing the soil together thus preventing washing in places where gullies are apt to form. It is thought that if t is planted in sandy places and in small washes, sections of land that are now practically barren may be so protected against erosion that forage plants and grasses may obtain a foothold One CT the best things about. it is that it scatters no fertile seed nor jo;rted roots like Johnson grass so it can never become pest to farmers even if plant ed along ditches.
 The entire bulletin is interesting and should be in the hand os every Arizona farmer
