appeared in the last Practical Farmer,
and it is as follows:
One of the most gratifying results of
modern sanitary work is the disap-
pearance of malaria from sections for

it. 1t was formerly supposed that the
air in such regions was infected with
disease But it has been shown that
malaria does not exist i'm the air and
that the atmosphere of malariaI
regions is as pure and wholesome as
any. The disease making germ of
malaria is not one of the bacteria

has proven correct in practice In
our bOyhOOd we lived in town on
the eastern shore of Maryland which
was nOtOriOusly malariOuS and every
one expected to have chillS and fever
every fall. We were recently in that
same town. The leading physician
told us that Il case of chills and fever
was about the last thing expected
there. and that the old-time malaria
has practically disappeared with good
drainage and the abandonment of
shallow wells. And the same tact
is true in nearly the whole of that
fine agricultural section known as the
Eastern Shore. Formerly the people
of Baltimore were afraid to visit the
eastern side of the Chesapeake be-
cause of malaria. Now almost every
farm house on the bay shore and
rivers is crowded all summer with
boarders from the city. The same
result has been attained further south |
merely through the use of artesian
wells. Here is a lesson for the mala- !
ria sections of the Mississippi Valley
use pure water and drain all mosquito
breeding places and there will be no
more malaria.

The Disappearance of Malaria.

For several years we have been
a convert to the idea that mosquitoes
were the most common agent by which
malaria was transmitted from one
to another. But there have often
occurred cases which were difficult to
account for on the mosquito theory.
Prof W. T. Massey believes that 1t
is also caused by drinking impure
water. This, too, is prehaps true
But even then there are cases that
where no water except from artesian
wells is used. and no mosquitoes have
been seen or felt, how are they to be
accounted for?
There are fewer cases of malaria
than there were years ago, but alas,

ior to flowers in many respects,
changing their colors continually and
growing more beautiful and brilliant
from day to day. In the early morning
hours when the dew drops lie on the
leaves like thousands of pearls and
diamonds, and in the evening when
the after-glow of the setting sun is
reflected from the often immense
leaves, they form such glorious sight
that no pen and no pencil can do
them justice, and we have the feeling
of being in an earthly paradise. There
is a lustre in the foliage of many
kinds; even the varieties mainly of a
"reen color show golden and metal

las, Marantas and Phryniums, He'll
conias and Phyllotaeniums, and many
other foliage plants growing near
them, even among them, but there is
absolutely nothing that can compare
with them. They outrival all in the
beauty of their forms, in the distribu-
ton, variety and brilliancy of color,
in vigor of growth, and in bushy
and symmetrical habit. Last year L

leaves is not flat but bowl-like. Its
growth is very dense, forming a fine
symmetrical specimen 6 feet high and
4 or 5 feet in diameter. Near it stands
a huge specimen of Xanthosoma ro-
bustum fully 8 feet high, one of the
most beautiful and refined foliage

are produced in great abundance, and
they are powerfully and dellclously
fragrant, but not so when they are

High Pressure DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands OF business, the wants of
the family, the requirements Of socle-
ty, more numerous. The first effect
of the praisewortny efforts to keep up
with all these things is commonly seen
in a weakened or debilitated condition
of the nervous system, which results
in dyspepsia, defective nutrition CT
both body and brain and in extreme
cases in complete nervous prostratol.
1t is clearly seen that what is needed
is what will su stain the system, give
vigor and tone to the nerves, and
keep the digestive and assimilative
functions healthy and active. From
personal knowledge, we can recon-
mend Hood Sarsaparilla for this p lr-
pose It acts on all the vital organs,
builds up the whole system, and fits
men and women for these high-pres-
sure days.

FLOUR CERTAINLY SCARCE.
A Louisville Commission Merchant
Couldn't Fill 5-Barrel Order.

That Louisville has grown greatly in
the past half century as flour mar
ket is evidenced by the fact that at
one time an order from merchant IN
this city for tive barrels of flour was
only partially filled by commission
merchant In that city, who was not
able to find the iull amount In the
city.
The local merchant who made the
order was the late Samuel Hest, and
the Louisville dealer was }. f. Hay
mes. A letter from Mr.. Heist to Mr..
Haynes, stating that the order in ques-
tion could not be filled, is in the pos
session of the formers nephew, Mar
ion j. Heisl, of Her derson, formerly
of this city. Samuel Heist supplied
the country around here with flour
at the time, as there was no flour mill
here then.
The letter in question reads as fol-
lows:
