ONE MORE CURE.

Consumption is still consuming, un- hindered, or, at least. unstopped, by the many cures for it. But now let it retire before the latest and newest cure, which is certainly not very unpleas- ant one. This time it is a vegetable fluid, the discovery of New York phy- sician, whose experiments have con- vinced him that tuberculosis is dis ease of malnutrition. From a study of the value of food properties and their effect upon nutrition and disease pro- cesses he came to the conclusion that tuberculosis required some food ele- ments not heretofore obtainable, and these elements he claims to have found in juice extracted from common garden vegetables. It is said that eleven per sons who were looked upon as sure death patients recovered under the ad- ministration of these vegetable juices. Dr. James r. Russell, who is head of the hospital staff of the New York Post-Graduate hospital, is the discov- erer of this new method of treatment, and while he is very confident that he has hit upon the right solution of the tuberculosis problem, he guardedly says that he wishes to make more, extend- ed test before definitely stating his conviction as to the merits of the cure. Success to the new cure. When con- sumption is conquered much will have been done.

A Boardwalk Ballad.

There is a girl well worthy to be sig naliZed in song; She's not dreamy summer girl. Sne active and she's strong. She loves to seek the seashore, where the bounding pillows play, When once she hits the boardwalk she will travel all the day. She doesn't wonder what the waves are saying while they roar; Her sole ambition is to walk and then to walk some more. She trudgcs in the sunshine and she trudges in the rain. It is the joy of living for Atlantic City Jane. When out in competition with that
 prancng pOpulace She may not finish first, but she is sure to get place. And when at last she's covered all the
 distance of the track She simply turns around and makes the self-same journey back Her muscles never falter and her cour- age never fails. Her boot heels sound like hammers that are busy driving nails. She wears d smile seraphic and her soul is free from pain. Earth holds no greater pleasure for At lantiC City Jane.

CHEERING.
cerns,

It is cheering news that the propor- tion of teachers to population is in- creasing and also that the proportion of female teachers is increasing. In 1870 there was but one teacher for 137 potential pupils, while in 1900 the pro- portion was one to seventy-one. The proportion of teachers is smaller in the United States than in England, but lar ger than in other countries. It is great CT in large cities than in small cities and country districts, owing largely, no doubt, to the influence of politicians who work the school boards to their own satisfaction, and smaller in the South, owing to the presence of col ored population that contributes little to school funds, than in some other sec- tions of the Union. The excess of fe- male teachers over males is larger in the United States than elsewhere. The percentage of female teachers in 1880 was 67.S; in 1900 the percentage was 73.4. In the South male teachers are in larger proportion than elsewhere. In West Virginia the male teachers were 4S.2 per cent, while in Vermont they were but 11.S per cent. In the large cities women almost monopolize the schools, being 80 per cent, or about four-tifths, of the whole number of teachers. The proportion of women is

OUR SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

If we are not learning how to get and hold trade in some foreign countries the fault is our own, for we are being told how. For instance, in a report made by Mir. Hutchinson, a special agent of the department of commerce and labor, on American trade in South America, he says that the failure of American exporters to grant long time credits is one of the things which is chiefly responsible for keeping down the volume of business done with South American countries, and espec- ially Brazil, and adds that both Eng land and Germany are much more will ing to grant favorable terms than are American houses, which oftentimes demand payment in advance. Anoth- CT reason which this authority gives for the small volume of American trade is that the efforts to push Amer lCdn SOOuS III LHe SOuLIf AuleFlcdn markets are spasmodic. When busi- ness is bad at home it seems that the American firms seek this South Ameri- can market, but pay little attention to it when the home demand is good. He thinks that this method of trying to make dumping ground in times of need should be abandoned, and that the effort to creat regular trade be made continuously. South Americans have discovered that after they had made some American purchases when they tried the following year to get additional consignments of the same goods they found their orders neglected or delayed or were sometimes told that the factories were too busy on other or- ders. So the South American customer immediately discontinues his trade.
 There is no good reason why manu- facturers and business men in this country shouldn't be as smart in South America as British and German con- cerns.

DIRE EFFECT OF A GODDESS
 WRATH.

A South Indian correspondent writes: Recently a very singular report has been abroad among the women of this district respecting the bracelets they wear. The report is to the effect that certain bracelets are very dangerous, 1. e. those that are made of Bombay" glass and have small moons and cres- cents, &c. imbedded in them. It is af- firmed that certain small worm bores it's way out of this glass and bites the wearers of these i'll fated bracelets, and that whoever is bitten by this worm becomes afflicted with plague or some equally fatal disease and dies.

MEDICINAL STANDARDS

Latest Revisions, Additions, Subtract
 ions and Alterations in Strength.
 The relation which the physician and druggist sustain to the public is so important that great interest must at tach to the notifications that are made from time to time in the catalogue of substances used for remedial purposes. Tn nearly every civilized country there is such a list, known as the 'prarma- copoeia," It is prepared under official auspices and amended occasionally. That of the United States has just been revised for the eighth time, and the new code takes effect on September 1. Nearly five years have been devoted to it's preparation, the convention which authorized it having sat in 1900. This fact alone will afford a hint of the scientific value of the labor involved in the report recently issued. The first American list--that of 1S20-was com piled under the direction of the medical profession exclusively: Nearly half of the states have now made the Limited States Pharma acopoeia" their legal standard, and the Marine Hospital Ser vice, the national bureau that looks out for the public health, has also sane toned it. Hence there is wider rep resentation now than formerly in the bodies which make alterations in the code.
 One of the most instructive features of the new volume is the number of ad- ditions made to the standards of 1890. There are one hundred and seventeen of them. A few of tho remedies to which formal approval is thus given are fresh acquisitions to the resources of the pro- fession. Such is the case with antipy- rine, cocaine and the antitoxin of diph- theria. Another group-a much larger one-includes new forms of old medi- cines, such as camphOric acid and granulated opium. Now and then a drug-acOnitine, for instance, is merely restored to the list, having been dropped for some good reason twenty or thirty years ago. Occasionally an old drug appears under a new name. "Gambir" merely replaces "catechu' Finally, there are several substances which have long had industrial or do- mestic applications, but have never fig ured as medicines, This remark ap- plies to gelatine, paraffine and some other additions now made.
 No less than one hundred and forty- five articles are dismissed from the pharmacopoeia. In some cases, no

 The report arose in Pithapuram. where three women are said to have died from the bite and spread with great Tapidity over the whole of the Godavery district. The result has been that thousands of these bracelets have been destroyed during the last few weeks. The report goes on to say fur ther that this glass was ''mined'' in a quarry where there was an idol of a certain goddess. and that in getting the glass from the mine the idol was brok- en- and as a consequence the goddess mas been very angry and has sent this alsease as punishment.-India

Albert E. Pillsbury, former attorney general of Massachusetts, on visiting the birthplace of Horace Greeley in Amherst, New Hampshire, noticed that there was no placard about the place to inform the public of it's historical inter- est. Accordingly he himself tasked on the house card which read: "This is the birthplace of Horace Greeley" While he was engaged at this task a passing native paused to read the card, and, turning to MT. Pillsbury, he re- marked with some acidity: "The gall of some of you fellers that hev made money in the city is fairly sick'nin' What do you suppose folks here care whether you was born on this farm or some other old farm? Them's my sen- time1ts, MT. Greeley, and don't you forgit it.'

One of the largest libraries in Rus sia is private property, belonging to the scholarly Genadi Wassilyewitch Judin: 1t consists of over 100000 vol umes, and the oldest thing about 1t is that it is not situated in large city, but in the neighborhood of one of the most inaccessible Siberian towns, Karsjonarsk. It was at first in that town, but after the fire of 1881, which destroyed great part of it, the owners got alarmed and removed 1t to the country.

The Daily Cow.

Some one has said that a Cow is
partly born and partly made" and
hat will appeal to every one as being
exactly true. We hear a good deal
about feeding and we hear a good deal
about breeding, and the advocates of
each claim for them about all the
virtues that are ~discoverable. The
fact is, however, that it is a combina.
ton of the two that will produce he
kind of COW we must have. 1t is The
combination of the two that has pro-
duced the COW we now have whether
she be good or bad.
A naturally poor dairy COW badly
fed will prove continuously u~nproft-
able. A poor dairy COW we'll fed NAV
yield a small revenue. A good dairy
COW badly fed will produce only a
little evenu and it is probable that
she will never have her full capacity
developed. One of the things that
has been brought out by good feeding
is that many COWS that were supposed
to be poor COWS were simply cows that
had been always so poorly fed that
they had never had their full capaci-
ties developed.
The man that is bright enough to
study breeding till he can get a herd
of highly bred COWS, and study feeding
till he can get every cow 10 giving
milk to her full capacity, is the man
that will make money out of his dairy
herd.

Try Ducks.

Try a few ducks, of almost any
breed, and the result from a financial
point OF view will be so good that
they will become a fixed factor of farm
effort. The man that wishes to go
into duck raising has ten standard
breeds to choose from, any one Of
which will give satisfaction. The ten
breeds are: White Pekin, White Ayles.
bury, Colored Rouen, White Muscovy,
Gray Call, White Call, Black East Ina
dian and Crested White. OF these the
first six are quite generally raised and
are considered profitable. The next
three breeds are bantams and are bred
more for the show room than for any,
thing else, while the Crested White is
a purely ornamental breed.
The beauty about ducks is their
hardness and freedom from disease.
They have the further advantage over
chickens of being to a larger extent
grazers. A good lot of clover or other
herbaceous growth will supply a large
part of their food. Water is abundant
enough in this country to furnish feed
ing grounds for ducks, which do bet
ter as a general thing when they have
water than when they are confined to
unnatural conditions, though we know
there are people that dispute this.

and the teacher of the infant class
asked a bright little boy to tell the
lesson story.
He went on with it right until
he said, His brothers murdered a
little child, and dipped Joseph's coat
in the blood"
What" gasped the teacher.
That's what my lesson paper said"
persisted the boy.

one child after another.
Let me see it," said the teacher,
and the children passed up a regular
shower of little pink lesson papers.
There, see!" said the boy. 'They
killed a kid and dipped the coat in
the blood"
This actually happened in northern
New England, where the children are
not familiar with goats.
