TubercuIous Udders.

The University of Aberdeen has
been investigating the virulency of
tuberculosis germs when found in
the udder, and effect of milk from
udders where the COW is tuberculous
but the udder is not affected. Num-
erous tuberculous COWS were used in
the tests, their milk being used to
inoculate guinea pigs. Where the
cows had the disease but their udders
were not affected the milk in all
cases proved harmless. This OF
course might not be the case with
other COWS, and can be relied on only
as to the cases in question. But
the milk from the affected udders
proved remarkably virulent, as If the
germs had been reinforced with the
material they had drawn from the
tactical fluid. We have had little evil
dence along this line, but more will
doubtless be forthcoming. If we wish
to prevent the further spread of this
dreadful disease we should take ev-
cry precaution to sterilize all milk
coming to the farm from the cream.

for animals or humans.

Women and the Looking Glass.

How much time does a woman spend
before her looking-glass? A German
estimates that a girl of six to ten
spends an average of seven minutes a
day before a mirror, from ten to fif-
teen a quarter of an hour is con-
sumed daily. and from fifteen to TWEEN
ty, twenty-five minutes. Ladies from
twenty to twenty-five occupy twenty
five minutes; from that age to thirty
they are at least half an hour at
their toilette. Thence there is a de
cline in coquetry. From thirty to thlr-
ty-five the time occupied comes down
TO twenty-four minutes, from thirty
five TO forty it is only eighteen min
utes: from forty to fifty. twelve min
utes. and from fifty to sixty, only siS
minutes. A woman of seventy ha
thus spent $500 hours before the glass

POULTRY
A Bad Case of Roup.

From the Farmers Review; / have

and they are dying. Please tell me
what to do for them. Some die be-

others live several days. The first
symptom noticed is a dark red color
to the head, which is followed by
rafting in the throat and difficult
breathing. Later on there is
diarrhoea, with thin, acknowledgment
discharges. They gradually get worse
and, at the last, breathing is so diff
ficult that they open their mouths and
stretch their necKs to get breath at
all. Some live two or three days in
that condition and then die. be-

The disease is roup in one of
its worst forms. There are two dis
eases known as roup, the most fatal
of which occurs at this time of year.
Various things are prescribed for it,
but little result seems to come from
the use of any of them. About the
only thing that can be done is to
keep the well birds from the sick
ones. Do not take the sick birds
from among the well ones, for then
you leave the well birds in the in
fected pens. 1t is safest to take the
well birds out from among the others
and put them in clean places. The
correspondent showed much enter
prise in making the autopsy. The
spongy matter spoken of would APP

the birds have in breathing is due
to the nasal passages being filled up
There are many published remedies
for roup, but none that we can rec
ommend as likely to be effective. We
would be pleased to hear further con-
corning the progress Of the disease
in this flock.

We Have Done With Tears and
Treasons.

Treasons.
Here is letter from Arenta!' re-
peated the Doctor to his wife, who
was just entering the room. Come,
Ava and listen to what she has to
say" Then Cornelia read aloud the
following words:

lie! Republic! What's republics"

into the most private houses; above
all, fear, constant fear of every one
with whom you come in contact.
Il have told you the truth about our
condition because | have just had
letter from my father, and he talks OF
leaving his business in Claos Bergen's
care, and coming here to look after
me. You must convince him that he
could do me no good whatever, and
that he might do me much harm. Tell
him not to fear; Arenta says, not to

when Cornela had finished the
wretched epistle Suppose that you
go and see Van Ariens, and give him
oil the comfort you can"
Cornelia crossed the street and was
going to knock at the door, when Van
Ariens hastily opened it. When Cor
neia told him her errand, he was in a
hurry of loving anxiety to hear what
his child had written.

had heard the letter "She is fright

An Indian Badly Hurt

An Indian named Mack Sue. en-
ployed as a laborer by the Winnie
mucca Water & Light company, was
badly injured by caving dirt in the
canyon about four miles from town
last evening.
He was digging a trench or ditch,
when about two ton of soft dirt caved
in on him burying him up to the neck.
Had it been hard dirt or gravel he
probably would have been killed; as
it was he was badly bruised, and will
be laid up for some time. Superin-
tendent Akin brought him to town
about 7 O'Clock and Dr. Giroux at
tended him. He found the collar
bone broken, the left hip and leg cut
and bruised and slight bruises all over
the body. The wounds were dressed
and the patient removed to a house
in the Indian village.

At a special meeting Of the state

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-when
the state department closed yesterday
at o'clock it was agreed that the
Panama canal treaty was dead, al
though eight hours yet remained
within which the Colombian congress
might take action upon it. Nothing.
however, had been received during the
day. either from Minister Beaupre at
Bogota, or from Herran, the Colom-
bian Charge dAffaires here. which
gave the slightest hope of favorable
issue.
A report is current here that the
Colombian congress, in secret session.
had clothed President Marroquin with
full power to negotiate a treaty. II
this report should turn out to be true
President MarroQuin, who is counted
as a friend of the treaty. could pro-
ceed untrammeled by the fear OF fu-
ture reckoning with the congress.
In any event President Roosevelt
must now take the next step. He can
elect to proceed under the Spooner
ac. and take up the Nicaragua route
or he can allow the matter to drift
| for the present, in the hope that a
way may yet be found to straighten
OUT the present difficulty in the path
OF the Panama route.
Contrary to his custom during the
summer, Acting Secretary Adee OF the
state department remained in the city
yesterday in order to be on hand to
act promptly on any information
which might come from Beaupre re-
garding canal affairs in Bogota. Up
