FOOT-AND-MOUTH FIGHT.

With the exception of modified
guarantees in one or two small
areas, all the Federal restrictions on
the movement of live stock which
were imposed on account of the out
break of foot-and-mounth disease in
1914 have now been removed. On
the other hand, the contagion has
reappeared in Illinois and in Massa-
chusetts. Infected herds were dis
covered in northern Illinois in Aug
ust and parts of the state have been
in the closed area since that time.
In Massachusetts the disease did
not reappear until very recently one
herd in Worcester county being af-
fected. At the present time (Oct.
14) this is the only county quaran-
tined in that state. It is closed
area.
In northern Illinois the August
outbreak has resulted in the quar-
antining of all that part of the state

in twenty years he had produced TWEEN

An Anecdote of Genius.

The following anecdote of Leigh
Hunt was once related by ''Orion'
Horne. Horne on bitterly cold day
in winter went to see Hunt and found
him in large room with a wide, old
fashioned fireplace. He had dragged
his piano on to the hearth, close to a
large fire, leaving only room for him
self and his chair and was playing
with the greatest enjoyment,
my dear fellow" cried Horne. "are
you aware that you are running your
piano forever and ever in that heat?"
II know, l know" murmured Hunt,

Doubt has often been expressed as to
whether the tomb of Ezra. on the III
girls, now in British possession, really
holds the remains of the great Hebrew
prophet. for Josephus says he was bur

ever. states that Ezra died at Zamzu
"a, town on the Tigris, when on his
way from Jerusalem to Susa to plead
the cause of the captive Hebrews; 50
