ChlorofOrm and Gaslixht.

In general the profession in this
country is united in the belief that
ether is a much more satisfactory n
aesthetic than chloroform. A not in
considerable number, however, pre-
fer chloroform, particularly under
especial circumstances, and some op-
orators who have no well-equipped
clinics at their command tend to use,
chloroform when working by artii3
cial light, and particularly in ILL
equipped houses. 1t is, however, known
by most pharmacologists and by many
others that chloroform has dangers
when used by artificial light, but this
fact is by nc means generally recog-
nized. Persons have been killed by the
decomposition of chloroform by gas
light. 1t has been attempted to over
come the danger of the production of
this form of poisoning by placing soda
or borax solution of milk of lime in
the operating room, but. these methods
have been shown to be wholly INSULT
cient.-Philadelphia Medical Journal.

Proceeds of q Pond,

There is a thrifty man in England
who makes his living out of a pond.
The water is about 10 acres in extent
and close to a village street. For sew
eral years he has worked ii. for profit
with good results, the crops being
three in number-reeds. fish and wa
ter fowl. The fish are chiefly cells and
pike, which are taken during the. close
season for duck. The latter are caught
alive by means of traps and are sold to
people who want to stock ornamental
waters. For these there seems to be a
keen demand at prices ranging from 50
4 dozen for the humble water hen to as
much as SIS for q pair of scaups or
golden eye. From a list of the takes
it August it appears that the wild
fowl taken are mallard. teal, shovelers,
tufted duck, gadwall, coots, moor hen,
water rail and dabchick.-Chieago

BE DECENT ABOUT IT.
If You XIII Hogs on the Farm Do 1t
in a Way That Il Neither Cruel
Nor rDemoralizing.

The season for hog killing will soon
be present on every farm, and then
we shall see repeated the usual cruel,
heartrending scenes of mans
thoughtless inhumanity. Three OF
four men and boys, and perhaps
yelping dog, will lay siege to the
doomed animal, and with much ado
will catch and throw the beast, which
meantime rends the air with his
squealing as though crying Justify for
mercy; and when at last the knife
has been driven home and the ar
teries severed. all at once the quiet
ness of death prevails, the hog arises,
totters about awhile, ghastly blood
pouring from the wound, the animal
gets weaker and weaker and finally
tumbles over and gives his last dy-
ing kick The mans wife and chill
dren, and perhaps some of the chill
dren of the neighborhood, have been
silent but Mortified witnesses of the
direful scene. Now is this not de.
iightful picture to present for the
inspection of women and children?
And is it not ennobling to all who
witness it? If there could be great
er exhibition of mans apparent cruel
ty to animals, and one that is more
likely to create feeling in the young
of disregard for things that are gen.
tie and kindly, I do not know where
to look for it. True; swine must be
slaughtered; but let it be done in de-
cency. When lad l witnessed swine
killing at an abattoir, and regarded
the method so wicked that /. never
forgot it, but really it was no worse
than this. The animals were in a
close pen. Three men did the work.
One with a hog hook would catch an
animal under the jaw, an assistant
would help him raise the head up,
and the third would do the sticking.
when the hog was dragged to a chute
and tumbled down it, kicking and
| bleeding. A merciful way to kill a
| hog is to strike it in the head with a
suitable implement, producing stupor,
then instantly use the sticking knife.
| This causes instant death. An animal
| suffers more from fear than it does
+! from death itself. A neat, unobjec-
tionable method is to drop the open
side of suitable long, narrow box
down over the animal and then turn
box and animal upside down, when
the knife can do its work and the
box be righted again that the hog can
bleed properly. Humane men will be
apt to pursue one of these better
meth rods; indeed, many Of them dc
now; but If they will not they should
be thoughtful enough to have chill
dren absent from hog killing, that nc
evil be done by bad example.-Pro
| gressive Farmer.

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS.
mysterious African MaIady That Is Kill
ing off Many.

British East A frica, territory OF a
million square miles, with a popuia-
tion of unnumbered millions, is treat
ened by the mytersious sleeping sick
ness," disease which has already
wrought terrible havoc in Uganda.
DIR. G. G. Low, who. with DIR. Castel'
lani and DR.. Christy, was sent out to
U ganda on royal commission to in
vestigate the malady. has just return
ed to England, aud the reports which
he and his colleagues have sent to the
Foreign Office and the Royal Society
contain much new and important in
formation OIL the nature Of the disease
and it's alarming continued spread.
The disease has now been ravagins
Uganda for four years, and DIR. Low.
who gave some information upon the
question recently, estimates that 70, :
600 natives have died of it, the majori-
ty of them within the last two years.
How it got into Uganda cannot be
discovered.
Not less than Is, 600 natives are now
affected and the disease is practically
Invariably fatal. Morever, the disease
is Increasing in virulence IN the new
arass.
The sssleeplng sickness" first mani.
tests itself in a slight change in the
mental attitude of the victim. so
slight that the relatives are able to
perceive it before anyone else, even a
European doctor. 1t attacks both
sexes and all ages. Then the patient
becomes dull in manner, next quite
stupid, with a heavy look about the
face and swelling of the lips. A disin-
clination to work develops and the
patient lies about, taking less and less
food. Lethargy rather than sleepiness
is the outward sign. Tremors of the
arms and tongue succeed. and finally
the victim falls into comatose state
which ends in death.
The commission made its way to the
Entabbe, the seat of government IL
Uganda, on the western part OF Lake
Victoria, and spent five months there
studying the disease. A hospital had
been especially erected by the govern
ment, and Col. Sadler, the commission.
er, and DR.. Moffett. the P. M. o rem
dered every possible assistance. The
| hospital accommodates sixteen pa
tients and DR.. Low and his colleagues
treated their patients with various
drugs. but without discovering cure
DR.. Low says that the disease is
nervous complaint. consisting of in'
| f1ammation of the brain and mem
branes of the brain, analogous to ordin
ary meningitis. but the usual treat
ment for meningitis has proved of ne
avail.-New York Evening Post.

Nature has just one pigment on her palette
with which she produces all the marvellous
tints of beauty, and that one pigment IS the
blood. The shell-like pink beneath the
finger nails, the delicate rose of the check,
the cherry ripeness of the lips, the irr1desc
ent brilliance of the eyes are all produced
by the blood, Just as the permanence OF a
beautiful painting will depend upon the
purity of the colors with which it is painted,
so the permanence or beauty depends on the
purity of the blood. Paint, powder and
cosmetics won't avail to preserve beauty.
Beauty begins in the blood. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is true
beautifier, because it provides for nature
| that pure blood with which alone she can
J paint. The use of this medicine will cleanse
the skin, heighten the complexion, brighten
the eyes, and give to face and form tha1
radiance of health which is the greatest
charm of beauty. DR.. P1erce's pleasant
Pellets are very effective in Kidding the
system of clogging residnum, which accumu
| lates with constipated habit.
