Relief of Sicily.

Horse and dog flesh guaranteed as
beef by representative of the Ital-
ian government was one of the forms
of relief which was extended to the
earthquake refugees of Sicily. Ed
mund Billings of Boston, who was
the speaker at the annual meeting Of
tSe Tr.city club in Boston, described
among other things the strenuous
methods employed by Capt. Carnea
in command of a warship dispensing
relief. In discussing the situation with
Mr.. Billings the captain said: I'VE
have shot all the oxen and, in fact,
all the horses and dogs to furnish
fod for the people, but. mind. they
were all oxen, because /, Captain Car
nea said so. And so far as l can learn
nobody has died from it,

GUARDING AGAINST IMPURE WR'
USES.
Changes in the Federal Rules for In
spectinq Such Products.

AS readers of the Tribune Farmer
already know, the outbreak of root
and mouth disease in this county last
cine virus imported into the snited
States from some other country and
used for the manufacture of fresh vac
cine matter here. One of the beneti-
cial results of the discovery was the
prompt suppression of the contami-
mated product and all that had been
made with it's aid. An examination
of other yiruses on the market was
also made, to determine whether they
were safe or not, and the federal gov
eminent was able a few weeks ago
to announce that there was no vac
cine virus then on sale containing the
germs of foot and mouth disease.
Another step has since been TAX
en-. The old rules relating to the sale
of vaccine viruses, serums, antitox-
ms and similar articles have been re-
vised, and new set promulgated by
board of government officers, con-
sisting of Surgeons General Toreney
of the army; Rixey, of the navy, and
Wyman, of the public health and ma
rine hospital service. The action is
designed further to safeguard the pro-
pagation and sale of vaccine virus and
to effect a closer supervision over the
importation of the same.
The new regulations provide an un-
announced inspection at least once a
year Of all establishments putting out
serums and viruses, and licenses shall
be issued only after inspection OF
establishments and examination of the
products for which license is desired.
While it is disputed question that
foot and mouth disease can be trans
mitted to human beings through in
fected virus, the board does not wish
to take any chances in this regard,
and unusual steps have been taken
to protect the pubiic.-New York Trib
une Farmer.

All day long they rOCe IN silence
over the silent Taste, their hot eyes
fixed on the mountains that seem ID
to dance and palpitate in the heat. TIE
unclouded sky was brassy with tler5
| sunlight The coarse sand seemed -
smoke under it. Not a bush or a
blade of grass relieved the dreadful
| aridity which could not yield lizard
sustenance. And all day long the
| burning air was still as death.
Shall we keep on?" asked Cutter,
| as the sun sank, blood-red, behind the
mountains, and the purple shadows
| began to creep stealthly out OF the
ravines.
Baines worked his stiff, burned
| lips.
THE burros'll break down any min
ute if they don't have rest" he
said. That's all we can give 'em, poor
Beasts"
They halted, hunched forward on
the seat, and breathed greedily the
night air. But there was no rest for
them. Every nerve-cell and drop OF
blood cried aloud for water, water!
Cutter was the first to give in. With
groan, he crawled back toward the
vat. Baines was at his heels, and
they fought for the first dipperful. 1t
was a scanty one! The edge of the
cup ratified on the bottom of the vat.
and for moment the two men stared
unsteadily at each other, sobered by
the horror of their plight.
1--WE can't stand here and die"
cried Cutter fiercely.
He crawled to the seat again, and
with whip and reins, urged the burros
forward. The poor beasts began a
broken march, staggering along and
stopping with dropped heads, then
staggering forward for another short
distance. They were at the end OF
their endurance, and soon one OF them
fell His mate stood swaying beside
him, his strength gone.
Cutter groaned, burying his raw,
drawn face in his hands.
Its only God can help u.s." said
Baines. Zone last drink, partner, be-
fore we hit the trail on foot"
With threats contracted and bodies
aching as if with fever, it was the
hardest thing they had ever done
that even division of the last dipper-
full of the fluid that meant life. 1t was
like throwing a thimbleful in a fur
mace. Cutter bit the cup savagely,
smeared his tongue and lips across
it, then hurled it across the sand.
'I'm burning up, joel" he cried.
Most master of himself, Baines
caught his partners arm and began to
lean him forward.
The silence of the desert was even
more profound than in the daytime.
1t seemed as limitless as the ocean,
and as they lurched forward, almost
as unstable. 1t seemed to swell and
sink under their dragging feet. Pres
emily Cutter fell and pulled Baines
down with him.
"Water!" he cried. For Gods
sake, water!"
With difficulty Baines raised. him
to his feet. Again they started, chok-
ing, gasping, and Keeling like drunken
men. Their ears rang with the pound
ing of their fevered pulses. Baines
had released his grip on Cutters arm.
In the delirium of his thirst he for
got his partner. He was alone, all
alone in an abysmal silence and utter

Through natural selection the
race has developed and risen, preacn'
es the New York Journal. Inc nu-
man being is incomplete, Il" sees IN
another that which he thinks will
make his life more nearly complete,
and that other he is determind to
have. Nature gives relentless powc:
to this impulse, because the resulS ol

ton is a child better than either OF

The various anti-tuberculosis asso-
Citations have done splendid work III
preaching this gospel of prevention,
argues the New York Press, but the
urgency of the need and the difficulty
of waking up the public to reform de-
mand that every possible agency OF
publicity be utilized. Heretofore pop
ular anti-tubercular literature has
come in waves, with intervals OF re-
lative ouiescence. It should be ground
out by magazines and newspapers
with regularity.
The average aiienist, contends the
New York Mail, will do his best to
make out a good case for the side
that retains him, and in his testimony
the irreconcilable interests OF his
fees and his oath will war with each
other in a contest in which one 10y
atty or the other will be outraged. In
another generation the current sys-
tenn of securing the production Of ex-
pert testimony in court will seem as
contemplate and grotesque as the
sophistry of the Greek decadence or
the refinements of medieval scholar
ticism.
