In the myriad minor changes that
have come about since war-ttmes, 1t
happens that a negro, who formerly
belonged to the family Of Missis-
sippi Congressman, has become pro-
prietor of a small kindling- wood shop
in New York City. When the Con-
gresham visits New York, says cor
respondent of the Boston Post he al
ways calls on his old retainer.

Facts About Irrigation.

Nowhere is irrigation practiced SO
extensively as in India, where about
25,OOO,OO0 acres are irrigated. Egypt is
next. The Assouan dam in the Nile is
considered one of the greatest engin-
eering feats in the history of the bu.
man race. Irrigation is new in Aus.
tralia, but is spreading rapidly there.
and the same is more or less true OF
South Africa. The practice of irripa.
ton has declined or entirely disap-
peared in many regions where it pre-
vailed in remote antiquity.

around without knowing just what alls

changes of climate between winter and
summer which superinduces bilious

Measles.-This common disease
among children begins like cold, with
sneezing and watery redness Of the
eyes. It is not very dangerous unless
complications arise-cold, pneumonia,
etc. Such complications often lead to
the determination Of the disease to GER
tain parts, as the eyes, lungs, ETC., with
bad results. 1t is very contagious
through all stages, but is less so after
the eruptions disappear. The patient
must be kept warm, with copfous
drinks of cold water, and a cabinet
bath is good thing at the right stage
If the breaking out is delayed. When
the attack is mild aconite and pulsa-
tilla given in alienation of four glob-
ules each every two or three hours is
all that is necessary.

Comparative Temperatures.-M an's
low temperature is responsible for
more than half his ailments. The nor
NAL temperature is 9S1a degrees Fab

a bad temperature that it runs up as
high as any Of the lower animals.
That is to say, when person is IN a
high fever with temperature of 1O2
the normal heat of the cat, the dog,
the OK, the rat and SO on is reached.
In the coolest Of seas the porpoise is
never cooler than 100 degrees. The bat,

100 degrees. The hen has the highest
temperature Of all the lower creatures.

The institute was run during the two years on borrowed money and the teachers agreed to wait.

Commissioner Bradford's Report.

Commissioner of Agriculture H. T. Bradford says in part in his be- ennial report:
 T recommend that the statutes be so changed as to provide, either an nually or biennially, for the collec- ton of statistics showing the number of acres in cultivation in each tract of land on the tax books, the number of acres in each kind of farm crop, by each taxpayer, and the quantity and value of mined and manufactured product and produce of the forest, and such other information embodied regularly in our reports, and system atically distributed, we would acquire greatly increased immigration from the older states, of such character as would greatly hasten the develop ment of our state
 There has been a constant effort on the part ef the bureau of mines manufactures and agriculture of this state to furnish such advertising mat ter for immigration purposes as the meager appropriations would admit, admit, and the eighth biennial report has been prepared with a view of in- terest to them. and to inform the world of the conditions as they exist ia Arkansas today"
