The fact that there are practical chatters in connection,. with cattle management which have to do with causing and spreading the disease is juati. &cation enough for drawing attention to the subject. Tuberculosis is in reality'consumptiou. It is not highly contagious, but is liable to spread under certain condition,. When once established it, is incurable. The best authorities advise the immediate slaughter and burial of all animals proved to be affected by it. The milk from a cow afflicted with this disease is wholly oxen FOR lneeteN rooD. Tho cause of tuberculosis is exposure to unwholesome influences, and it might soon be stamped' out if dairymen and stock- breeders could be made to obey sanitary laws. The Country Gentleman says " This disease appears in herds kept at extremes,- one being the herd kept by, the 'skinflint,' the low -bred, stingy wretoh who, having milked his cows all summer, seeks to get them through the winter with- out met either for food or care, thus liter- aily starving and freezing thein to death. They become leo run down and emaciated that they are an easy prey to the disease. 1heycontract colds from exposure to in- clement weather and storm,, just as a Inman being does, and these lead to con- sumption. The other extreme' is that fallen into by the greedy man who seeks to squeeze every drop of milk from his herd he can possibly get. What he is after is, money, and he cares for nothing else. He stops. every crack and crevice in his barns' and stables, thus shutting out every breath of pure air and forcing the cows to breath over and over again the vitiated atmos. ere till it becomes charged with carbonic id gas, thus developing the disease.

PISIIIDR, Brantford, Ont. v: :B., B. }nThoXArchbishop of Canterbury hose TOO RIGA BREEDING and in -breeding are predisposing causes of this disease, It has been very prevalent among the aristocratic herds. in England, and animals that are pampered for exhibit tion purposes are particularly liable to it. The points just noticed suggest- their own. lessons. Warm stabling should be provid- edfor dairy cows. They need plenty of light, bountiful supplies of pure air, and room to be comfortable. When the weather is: unpleasant and stormy the cow shquld be kept, housed, whether it be ii January or July. In winter, when the weather is sun- ny and pleasant, she should 'he given au hour in the open air each day. Clearly this is; a preventable disease, and themeans of prevention are putan operation when the laws of health are observed, the results. being the same in relation both to human beings and the lower animals. During the year 1893 the State of New York became notorious for the prevalence of this disease among its dairy herds, and also for the vigorous efforts made by the State Board of Health to stamp it out. The report of this body, recently issued,shows that on investigation it was found that the disease prevailed to a greater or less ex- tent IN' .NINETEEN COUNTIES, About 20,500 animals were examined by three inspectors, and 959 were found to be tuberculous. The diseased animals were slaughtered at an expense to the state of $18,309. The inspection' was carried on by means of the tuberculin test, which has proved a most conclusive one for the pur- pose, As much has"been said in the news.` papers''.about the use of this test at the model and experimental farms, it may be as well to give some aeccunt of it, so that it. may be understood by the intelligent reader. In 1882, Professor Koch, of Germany, announced the discovery of the germ of tuberculosis in the formof a tiny animalcule,' one -thousandth of an inch in length. This germ passes from the diseased animal in sputura(the expectoration" from its lungs) or its milk, and may be Whaled by another from theair dr in cropping the grass. In this way, and to this extent only, the dis- ease is contagia us. When one of , these micro organisms obtains a lodgmen tit multi- plies with great rapidity. Sometimes the disease Attacks A SINGLE ORGAN, as the lung, affecting only the adjacent, parts. Its progress is then slow, and the symptoms are obscure; but If introduced into the blood, the bacilli multiply fast, are distributed over thewho body, and pro- duce acute tuberculosis,` or "quick 'con- sumption, ending fatally in a short time; In the light of this explanation of the nature of the disease, it is comparatively easy to ander'atatedthe action and the value 1 of ,tuberculin. This test is prepared by Making an artificial culture of the disease. "germ, and allowing it to stand until highly 'charged with bacilli. Glycerine and car- bolic acid are added, the fluid filtered through Torous porcelain, to separate the germs, and then heated to 158 F., to destroy any remaining germs. The eternized 'fluid is -evaporated at a low teniperetilre in a vacuum, and when sufficiently concentrated is put up in bottles. In use it isgreatly diluted, sand a small quantity is injected with a hypodermic syringe under the skin of the animal The temperature ot the animal is tben taken at Intervale of tieveral houts and any ser- ious rise above the normal 'temperature is regarded ae indicating the presence of the disettee, Tuberoulin will hot produce the dieease hi healthy Aeimals, but it increases the activity of the germs wherever the dis- ease is present, and hence is of the highest value an a ten tuberefiloeim in Ardmala.

If we but make a wise selection of our environment and a judicious use of our functions we shall always be found in the upward road to perfect, development. But if we choose a false or abnormal en- vironment and assist it by functional in- activity or excesses, we shall find, as we are carried down in "the road to degener- acy, that oua daily companions will be ignorantie and immorality, poverty and disease. As we naturally desire to avoid these we should keep our surroundings pure and undefiled. One Way of Teating the Strength of Our Breath. Lay on the edge of a table a long narrow paper bag, and place some heavy weights —say a couple of diotionaries—unon the closed end, as shown in the accoinpanying illustration. The books can be overturned without being touched, simply by blowing, • The compressed air will swell the bag so violently that the weights upon it will be raised and thrown over. The experiment enables us to measure the strength of our breath by overturning objects of various weights, and will prove that an adult eau without fatigue raise with bis breath a weight of at least twenty pounds.

For the past three or font months laaeve been drinking corn coffee, and like It very, well. The method of making it is quite simple. Nice looking corn is selected, shelled and washed. It is then well parched or brown- ed and put into a glass can and ground in the coffee mill as used, No'thing is ivied as a clarifier. Perhaps wine reader may know of a better way than thie. To any suet) I would say, " Let your light so shine, etc." A neighboring family inn been using wheat coffee for some time, and report liking it quite well, As near as I can re- ,nember, the method of preparation adopted by the mattress is os follows : Nice, clean wheat is selected, and soaked for some time in water, to take away the "esrheaty" taste, After the grain becomes dry and hard it is browned. In the browning some calaar tined (perhaps just 'what will adhere to the grains). AS I understand it, this sugar, after being burnt in the browning of ehe wheat, becomes bitten and in the making of the coffee serves as an excellent clarifier, but does nob sweeten the beverage. I should think it would be a good plaze to get wheat for this purpose at the grist mills, thee is re -cleaned and ready for flour. The pater families and husband of this family somewhat surprieed his grocer by telling hint that he (farmer) could get sixty pounde of coffee for fifty cents I If all farmers would follow the example of rny neighbor in this respect, there would soon be a pretty thoroughly frightened set of coffee specu- lators, and the "oorner" on this article would rapidly sink into "innocuous desue- tude." and it would not take over a half bushel. of wheat to buy a pound of (best) coffee, as it now does. I do nob write this to try to induce people who are strongly addicted to the Me of these beverages, and who think they can not get along without themsto give up their use. But to me it seems like doubtful wisdozn for young people to permit them- selves to become elaves to such drinks, and my advice to all such is—don't. L9oking Cool in Summer. That girl never locks cool who doesn't know how to dress herself for the summer days. A hot -looking wool frock or the stalinnearched cotton one, both of there - not only look warm, but they feel waren, so to the girl who is forced to wear a woolen gown during the summer, who believes that she cannot indulge in 80Me pretty cot- tons that avill not need to visit the laundry, I am going to suggest that after. the wool skirt has been freshened up and remodeled, mended and bound, that she take a, little money and invese it in one or tvvo ehirt waists. If she feels ahe can only get one, then she buys a dark silk, blue or black, with possibly ajittle figure upon it in white. If she feels that she can afford more, then there are innnmerable cotton ones that may be gotten at very reaeonable prices, but these, of courae, will have the added expense of the lauudry, for they (unmet stand being worn many times with- out being laundered.

One day he oanae to me and asked me to go over to some prop- erty he had on a neighboring island. He had been having brouble anent boendaries and wanted me to give him an uubiased opinion, We started in a aailboat about 12 o'clock. and got to hie plaw About 4. He and I got oat of the boat and went up to a small bungalow he had built tbere. We were sitting on the veranda, the roof of which was not more than five or six feet above our heads. Mordai was talking to me about the boundary, and I had be, come quite interested in saint) maps he had in' ilia Iala While engagedin examining them I felt wreathing fall and strike my shoulder. I rose quite slowly, still talking to Anordan aad turned aboue to see what was in my chain thinking that perhaps a piece of bamboo bad been blown down by the wind. As / turned my bank was toward Mordai, and I was struck motionless by a hoarse "For God's sake don't move, sahib I" From the horror ie his voice I knew as well as if I couldasee it that a cobra or :a, khorite, equally deadly and more numeroue in that parb, was ou my shoulder. I stood perfectly , motionless, for I knew that the snake, being aroused now, would strike if he felt the least movement. Cold perspiration stood on my forehead, and I set my teeth hard and waited, ne and, that speedily, or the aharp, Winging punctures in my neck or head, and then— Every minute seemed an age. My pens° was the more horrible because I c not see my enemy, and so could not tell moment he would strike. Probably no minute elapsed from the time I stood in front, but it seemed to nie a year. had gone through one of the rooms thus got around frout of me without turbing the snake. In his hand he hel Burmese dah (a sword), and I knew t he meant to cut the snake down with strong stroke, /le crept up close beside me and rai the sword, trembling in every limb. face was ghastly anti his eyes seemed, gla with horror. The sword trembled fo moment in his nerveless hand and then w a hoarse whisper of "My God, coal it," he let it fall from his hand and tette to a chair. Ite was an old man and nerve had given way. He dared not r the result of his blow* should he Ian to down the serpent. When the sword f 1 could feel a slight vibration on my sho der and I closed my eyes, expecting to f the cold pat and the sharp stinging thr of the death-dealieg fangs. I do nob know how long it was, but ie seemed an eternity of time that I Wood thus. At lase the swinging Madrassi song of the boatmen carrying the stuff broke on my ears like a song of deliverance. Dalt and monotonous it had seemed to me often enough, but now it sounded like the sweet- est music ever carolea. Their singing seemed to arouse Mordm from his trance- like stupor, and, staggering out he grasped my faithful servant, Emir -Alli, by the shoulder and with his lean, bony fingers pointed toward me. No need of explanation for Emir -Alli. My heartgave a great throb of joy when I Beim his supple, careless form straighten tip and his black eyes glisten with the light I had seen in them before in time of deadly peril. Twice before had we fronted death together and hie nerves had been steel and his heart had, not faltered. Even now I see him as he stood just out- side the veranda, one of the few natives a white man had 'truated and met trust for trust and loyalty ever. Discarding his gaudy jacket and gather- ing up his dote tight about his hips, so that his sinewy limbs gleamed like, those of a statue, he set his square white teeth and hissed through them an invocation to Allah. Grasping the dah in his pewerful hand he exile as silently and as swiftly to- ward ma as the venemous creature on my back might heve done had he been making the attack. Poised aloft was the ob. tering steel, for well he knevv the snake would keep his eye on the gleaming blade, and there would be no movement to disturb him till the downward rush, and then --ah wlio could say I Allah would strengthen his hand and direct the edge of the nlade an kismet would be. For a second he stood close beside me. I might have touched him. His fierce black eyes gleamed on the snake. I knew he was drawing the snake's attention from the sword to himself. 1 could feel the slight vibration again And I knew that the snake was preparing to strike. And then—like a limit of lightuing went the blade past my eyes—a hissed "Alla.h" driven through olenehed teeth penetrated down my back, and not knowing whether the snake had been out in two or missed I teetered toward a chair. / had not taken a step before Emir -Anne strong arms werea,bout me, and with the tears ofjoy in his big lustrous eyes, the. poor fellow was saying "God is great."
