Sheep Quarantine Established.

The disease Of sheep known as scab
OF scabies has become so prevalent
IN Kentucky that the Secretary Of
Agriculture has considered it nee
essary to declare quarantine This
action comes after thorough exam
iration into conditions The fact
that the disease is contagious, being
spread by parasites known as scab
mites, makes necessary measure of
protection sufficient TO prevent its
smtad into other States. Infection
is known to exist to a slight extent
in two adjoining States, but condi-
tons there are not serious enough
to require Federal quarantine.
The order for the quarantine, which
is effective August is, provides that
sheep shah be moved interstate from
Kentucky only under the following
conditions. Sheep that are diseased
with scabies and that have been dip
ped in an approved dip under the
sIheryision of an inspector of the
bureau of Animal Industry within
ten days before shipment rlay be
shipped interstate to a recognized
Strengthening center for immediate
slaughter. II diseased sheep are TO
be shipped interstate for stocking or
feeding purposes they shall be dip
ped twice with an interval of ten
days. Other sheep may be moved
interstate for feeding or stocking
purposes after one dipping under
Government supervision or they may
he shipped interstate under uuaran-
tine for immediate slaughter without
dipping
Inspection and dipping under the
regulations will be performed only
at points where Federal inspectors
are stationed. Louisville is at pres
eGt the only place in the State having
facilities, but If proper yarding and
dipping facilities should be installed
at other points the Department Of
Agriculture would consider the advls-
ability of inspection at such places
for the convenience of shippers.
For many years sheep scab has
been quite prevalent in the West,
but as a result of the combined eff
forts of the Federal and State Ru-
thorities much territory has been
entirely freed and the infection in
other sections has been greatly re-
duced, and it is hoped that within
a few years more the disease will be
entirely stamped out. his IS tha
first time that the disease has OBJ
tanned a sufficient foohold east Of
the Mississippi river to require n
Federal quarantine.
Information regarding the Condi-
tioug of the quarantine and details
of treatment and handling may be
obtained free by addressing Il request

He thinks if he puts a brilliant shine on the .oes and slaps thin coat of dull backing over all the other parts of the shoes he has done perfect job, because that is the way he blackens mems shoes; but that will not suffice at all for women's s shoes. They should be evenly polish. ed all over
 "The front part of a mans shoes Is all that ever shows, but when a woman crosses the street or goes up or down stairs or steps on or of a car or into an auto or a carriage her whole shoe is likely to show, and nothing looks wore than soiled heels or dingy strips up the back of a woman's boots.

With proper knowledge of what is best, each hour of recreation, of enjoy ment. of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living aright.

Of all the imperfect beings brought into the world. few can challenge. for mental and acquired endowments, any thing like n comparison to vie with this truly extraordinary little man. Matthew Buckinger was a native of Nuremberg. in Germany. where he was born June ?. 1874, without hands. feet, legs or thighs: In short. he was little more than the trunk of a man. saving two eXCrescences growing from the shoulder blades, more resembling tins If q fish than arms of Il man. He was the last of nine chi dren. by one father and mother. viz, eight sons and one daughter: after arriving at the age of maturity. from the singularity of his ease and the extraordinary abilities he possessed. he attracted the notice and attention of all persons. of whatever rank in life to whom he WAS occasion ally introduced.
 It does not appear. by any account extant, that his parents exhibited him at any time for purposes of emolu- ment, but that the whole of his time must have been employed in study and practice. to attain the wonderful per lection he arrived at in drawing. and his performance on various musical in- struments; he played the fute bag

Each of these upper-classmen should be given a list of from five to ten freshmen whom he would makee 1t his duty to know He would talk over with them their work and their play; their participation in football. or in debating. or in writing for the college papers He would report cases where financial aid was needed. or admonition or encourage ment As it is at present many fellows are lonely; many, especially those from a distance, miss the recognition they de- serve merely because they ignorantly room outside the sphere of undergrad uate life, or, knowing no one at first fall in with uncongenial classmates, and, be- coming discouraged, withdraw into them selves.
