Hog Cholera Serum.

! At the 1910 session of the general as
sembly of Louisiana an appropriation o
$4,000 per annum for 1910 and 1911 wa
made for the production of hog choler;
serum under the direction of the Stat,
Live Stock Sanitary Board. This worl
has now been undertaken by the board
the work of preparing the serum being
temporarily in charge of w. M Landess
of Tennessee, and the plant located at the
Louisiana State University. The serum
is available in small quantities for free
distribution among the farmers of Lou
isiana.
The establishment of hog cholera
serum plant marks Louisiana as a pro-
gressive state. When the legislature ap-
propriated funds for the establishment of
this plant, it gave public recognition not
only to the scientific work by which the
serum has been discovered and its efficacy
as preventive of hog cholera established,
but also to the increasing Importance of
io5 AdlolIiS 4G lcdSt, llEil,
that the hog raiser should do is to get
familiar with the disease known as hog
cholera, and prepare himself to take adj
vantage Of the serum produced by the
state if cholera should develop among his
herd Of hogs.
The Live Stock Sanitary Board has re-
Gently issued, through its secretary and
executive officer, DR.. E. P. Flower, its Cir
cular No. on the Production of Hog
Cholera Serum. This pamphlet dis
cusses, besides serum production, policy
and plans in field work, symptoms of the
disease, and management of cholera herds.

GOLD LEAF.
Made Now Practically as It Was Made
Nine Centuries AGO.

In an article on gold leaf in the Mag
azine of Commerce John Mastin says
that just as the date of the discovery
of gold is too remote even to be guess
ed at so is the origin of gold leaf lost
in antiquity.
On some of the most ancient num-
mics discovered gold leaf has been used
on the skin, tongue, teeth, etc., and
in some instances on the collins also.
1t also appears on tombs, monuments
and the like, and, strange to say,
though gliding with 'fhin sheets of
hammered gold and skins of gold"-
otherwise gold leaf-was known to be
practiced at least in the eighth CEN
tury B. G., the process of bringing the
gold into these fine sheets or skins"
was, at any rate in the eleventh Gen.
tury A. D.. substantially the same as
that used today, no advance whatever
having been made in the intervening
nine centuries.
Further, on some of the Grecian pot
terry of the fifth century the gold leaf
used is as thin as that used today, so
that in results obtained also we have
not advanced in the least, but still keep
practically to the same average thick
ness as that used on the Egyptian cof-
fins of the third century A. D. and
most of the Greek vases of the fifth.

"And l must lose the gems"
Never mind that; they will come
back to you."
That night at dinner Miss Atherton
appeared without particle of jewel
ry. The marquis noticed it. but made
no comment. After dinner he joined
Miss Atherton on the terrace He
never noticed the absence of anything
belonging to any Of his guests with
out dreading lest his father had pur-
loined it.
Christine" he said. "why did you
leave off your jewels today at dinner?"
"Oh, they're so insignificant" she
said. compared with what the other
ladies wear"
Miss Brown, for instance"
The lady named had that day ap-
peared bedizened with a small fortune
in diamonds.
Hers are very handsome"
"Umph! These Americans don't
know when or where to load up with
stones"
When on future occasions the mar
quis noticed that Miss Atherton still
refrained from wearing her jewels he
wondered. Then one day Miss Brown
spoke to him of the omission.
"She doesn't wear them," said the
marquis. because she's ashamed Of
them"
Nonsense replied Miss Brown.
That's not her reason. She has too
much kindness in her to hurt your
feelings by giving you the true one"
Good gracious. You don't mean
they have been stolen!'
II do"
'And the thief?'
''Search your fathers pockets"
The marquis made the search and
returned the jewels. The incident de-
cided him on marrying for love or
money. He proposed to Miss Ather-'
ton, much touched that she had pre-
ferred to lose her fnery to accusing
his father.
''As for that American girl" he add
ed. "she had the indelicacy common
among her countrymen She did not
hesitate to remind me that my father
Is thief"
Miss Brown left the grange covered
with jewels. but when she got in
train she put them In her satchel.

A Shrewd
American Girl
By HELOISE BRAYTON
Copyright, 1910. by American Press
Association.

Miss Christine Atherton. an English
girl whose birth had been of ordinary
parents. was a guest at the seat of the
Duke of Brentnard Miss Atherton
was in love with the dukes oldest son
and heir. the Marquis of Middleton
Among the guests at the dukes resi-
dence. Slapper Grange. was a Kansas
of one who if he had been titled would
have been called the prince of packers.
Miss Brown was expected to inherit a
large fortune, and this was the reason
for her being at Slapper Grange. for
the Brentnards were not overburdened
with ready cash. and the marquis was
on the lookout for wealthy American
wife.
Now. Miss Brown had no more rev.
erence for title than for member
ship of a sewing society. She was one
of the kind to see through milestone.
and it was plain to her that the mar
quis wanted her for her money. and
Miss Atherton wanted the marquis for
himself.
$50 long as | don't want him my
SELF" unused Miss Brown. why
shouldn't help this young English
girl to get him?'
Now. there was a skeleton in the
Brentnard closet. The duke, who was
an old man, was kleptomaniac. He
was not allowed when in the city to
go into the shops without footman
to follow him and pay for what he
stole. When the old gentleman appro-
priated an article the footman would
step up to the clerk behind the counter
from which it was taken and say:
lis grace is shopping today. 'Ow
much for the and mirror e toek?''
Il see," the clerk would reply. THAT
one is three and six"
This would be followed up by other
and duly paid for by the footman.
There was nothing upon which the
marquis was so sensitive as this mania
of his father. He had made every ef-
fort to avoid the disgrace. even to an
attempt to shut his father up, but as
kleptomania Is not form of insanity
that warrants confining person in
bedlam the duke maintained his lib
erty.
One morning Miss Brown remained
in her room when the others were down
to breakfast and. being alone on the
floor went into Miss Atherton's room.
took all the jewery the poor girl had.
carried it to the dukes apartment and
slipped it into the pocket Of coat she
found hanging in closet. Then she
went downstairs to breakfast.
After the meal Miss Brown kept Miss
Atherton under observation so that she
might be the first to meet the English
girl after the discovery Of the loss. just
before luncheon Miss Atherton came
out of her room with terror stricken
look on her face. Miss Brown was in
the hall.
MY jewels!" exclaimed Miss Ather-
ton
what of 'em?" asked Miss Brown.
putting a finger on her lip to enjoin
caution.
They're gone"
"Hist The duke? You know his
failing?"
overheard of it,
Don't say word about it. The
marquis would never forgive you"
do you really think it best?"

uNITED

A UNITED CHRISTENDOM.
This has beer the hope as well az
the despair of all the Christian en-
turtles: the hope, because the Christ
prayed for it-"that they may all Pc
one:" the despair, because SO q It
has eluded our grasp-wftness
many and varying sects today. But
| there are at least signs OF a cnange.
The trouble seems to have beer
that the basis OF a true unity mas
| been misoonceiyod. II was very
natural. after Christ and his apostles
had passed from the earth, that His
followers should be concerned to
know exactly what Christianity was.
To this end they turned to the writ
inga left. and to the church, which
| had preserved these writings and
was engaged IN interpreting them.
The result was, doubtless wholly UNI
Intentional on the part Of many
helping in the process, that uniform
ity In belief and practice WAS aimed
! at, which became the basis OF the
| desired unity.
This would have been admirable
lie man were a dummy. But there Is
no such unity observable anywhere
else In nature among living, sentient
creatures. Who will deny that there
is a real unitya for instance, in the
vegetable Kingdom, observable. we
will say, In the structure of the
leaves? And yet where may be
found any uniform pattern Of leaf,
even among those of the same spe-
cies of tree7 The snow fakes fall
from the same clouds by the mil
lions, all the product OF the operas
ton of the same natural law. But
amid such unity how endless the
/ variety OF the Individual makes.
Animals are alike, bone for bone,
muscle for muscle, tissue for tissue.
| Yet how widely divergent are the
different species, and how multitude
nous the individual characteristics
in the same species.
The protest against such uniform
ity was loud and long in the seven
teenth century, and ever since a new
basis for unity has been sought.
When the Christ passed from the
earth he promised the presence OF
the Spirit, who should be with all
his disciples. The apostles and
those of the early church believed
that they enjoyed the presence OF
this Spirit, and left that priceless
heritage to succeeding generations
of disciples. 1t Is coming to be
more generally perceived and be-
lieved today that the possession OF
the Spirit is what is making for a
more permanent and real unity.
This unity does not mean uniformity
Conformation to anything exter-
nal, whether found In the Book or
taught by the church; on the con-
trary 1t means a nenes Of spirit
transformation from within, by the
renewing of the mind, the manifes-
tation of the life OF the Spirit.
Such q united Christendom Is at
hand. Despite the utmost variety
of individual Christian experience
and expression OF life, Christians
are coming together as never be-
fore, led thereto by the mighty
workings of the same Spirit within
each one of them. Unessentials no
