Tho Department of Agriculture has just
issued Bulletin No, 20, of the Central Ex-
perlinontel Farm, Ottawa, dealing with
tuberoulosia. It begins by elating that
tuberculosis fn cattle and eoneumptioa in
the human family are one and the same
thing. It is a disease entirely distinct from
pleuropneumonia, and occurs in cattle
wherever they are kept in domostication.
All animals, even to fowls, are More or less
subjectto it.
It has long been known that tubercle
•contained virus or poison which if injected
into the tissues of animals was capable of
produoing tuberoulosia, but the exact nature
of this material was unknown until 1882,
when Profeesor Hoohof Germany announced
his discovery of the germ of tuberoulosia,
a bacillus known as bacillus tuberculosis,
which is now admitted by all scientific in.
vostigators.to be the sole otuse of this
disease, This gorm is a vegetable parasitic,
micro-organism which, under high magni-
fying power, appears as afine rod,often
alightly bent or curved, about one-tenth as
broad as long, and measuring about one

this baoillue finds lodgment in an animal
under favorable conditions it multiplies
with great rapidity. Within this minute
organismP
gsmall oval spores are formed
which are feat liberated and develop int o
mature forms like the parent. As a result
of the multiplication of these bacilli in
any of the internal organs small nada
ler bodies aro formed called tubercles,
These in their early stages are about
the size of a millet goad, but soon increase
in number and size, and uniting form larger
diseased masses, As these grow older a
process of suppuration takes place, the
�££ tubercle becomes yellow, gradually softens
E and forme a cheesy mass. This mass of
ohoese•like consistence may eoftei stilt
more and become of the consistency of
ffl cream, or from the deposition of linie salts
in it, the masa may become quite hard.
When present in any quantity in the inter-
ior of saoh organs as the lung or liver,
tubercle is most frequently soft, or fluid,
forming what is known as a tubercular
abscess. but whore the disease affects the
surface of an organ, or attacks a mom -
bran the growth is usually harder and
nodular.
Those tubercles or portions of tubercle
near the surface of a diaaaeed area contain
the largest number of active bacilli and
these are thus in a favorable position to
invade the surrounding healthy tissue, or
to be carried by the circulation to other
parts of the body and begin there the for-
mation of further tuberculous masses,
mODIt8 OE ATTACK.
The bacillus of tuberculosis may enter
the body and bring on this disease of the
animal by being taken with the air into
the lungs, by being swallowed with food
and thus introduced into the digestive
system, or iu rare cases by the accidental
application of disease germs to outs,
wounds or other excoriated surfaces.
Onceintroduced into the system the dis-
ease may become general or may only devel-
op locally, by attacking a single organ.
In some instances its action is very rapid
producing what is known as " galloping
ootsumption." In cattle the lungs, the
glands in the thorax, the pleura and the
siriue membranae which covers the walls
of the thorax and abdomen, are the parts
most usually a60cted by the disease. The
glands iu the chest, behind the lungs, aro
very commonly diseased and often much
enlarged.
The tubercle baoillue is contained in very
large numbers in the matter expectorated
by individuals suffering from this disease,
also by cows who are sued t0 discharge this
material through the nasal organs, and
these bacilli remain actively virulent for a
very long time, Experiments have been
tried by drying such expootorated matter
for many months, and also by alternately
wetting awl drying the material; the bacilli.
have also been exposed for a considerable
time to cold, as low as 18 degrees of frosts.
and to temperatures as high as 10S°F. with-
out affecting their vitality. When animals
have been inoculated with material so
treated, the bacilli have shown unimpaired
vigor, and have rapidly brought about
diseased conditions. It is evident then that
such disohargee when allowed to dry, or in
the stalls or sheds of animals suffering from
the disease, h000810 a source of danger to
all about them, both men and animals
No reliable remedy has yet been discov-
ered for this dieees°, and the only way
known of freeing a herd of cattle from it is
by the prompt destruction of all affected
animals. Frons the absence of outward
symptoms the detection of tuberculosis in
its early stages by the ordinary methods of
examination is very difficult, and in many
oases practically impossible, and by the
time the disease has progressed far enough
to be readily detected there ie danger that
the affected animal has already conveyed
ib to others. A cow attached by tubercul-
osis may die in a few weeks, or may live
for many months, and sometimes for sever.
al years. The percentage of milking ani-
mals affected is usually greatest in the
neighborhood of cities where they are
housed for the greater part of the year.
Hence the importance of sanitary measures
such as proper ventilation, pure water sup-
ply, adequate disinfection of stalls where
tuuarciloue animals have been kept, and
prompt isolation of all euspeoted oases.
THE DIAQNOS38 OF TI1I5 DISEASE,
by ordinary means being in many oases all

ExrnuisNCE IN ()ASADA.
Canadian cattle as a rule are remarkably
healthy, especially such herds as are kept
lite greater part of the rims in the open air,
a result no doubt due to the invigorating
and health -giving eharaoter 01 the Canadian
climate. It has, nevertheless'
been long
known that tuberculosis existsto a certain
extent in different parts of Canada among
cattle kept thegreater part of tho year in
oonfinment, or when oloeely bred. Prior
eo 1888 the eubjaet was much discussed,
and during the mission of the House of
Commons in that year a sub -committee was
appointed for the purpose of considering
the question of certain contagious diseases
in cattle and their communicability to man
and animals with spacialreferenoe to tuber-
culosis,
Tho committee presented a report to the
House in April, 1889, in which much useful
information fa gtvon regarding this disease
and the means by whioh it is spread. After
a cevidence
areful consideration of all the
which the committee had obtained from
physiolans and veterinary surgeons iu
differentparte of the Damlr,ion, tilomembere
expressed the opinion that the disease known
as tuberculosis then existed among cattle
in Canada to a much greater extent than
was generally recognized. In this report
reference was made to the oontagions
character of the disease, that it was always
due solely to the presence of the tubercle
bacilli, and to the fact of its being communi-
cable from animals to man. The committee
also recommended that the milk obtained
from all suspected animals should be boiled
before using, and that the meat where used
should be thoroughly cooked so as to des-
troy any bacilli which might be present.
CHEAPER HARVESTING.
Everylaring Entering Into the Cost or liar
vesting Inas Been Materially Reduced
This Year.
The cost of taking off our grain crop
should be a good deal less this summer than
it has averaged in recent years. Several
causes combined to make a substantial say
ing in the mouoy cost of harvesting. In
every harvest a largo percentage of the
machinery, tools, and fittings used is new.
The total outlay necessary on this renewal
account has been materially out down this
year. In the first place the duty on agri-
cultural implements and machinery is now
20 per sent., whereas last year it was. 35
per sent. if the ditferenoehetween foreign
and domestic prices amounts to the whole
duty, then the lower tariff means a saving
of above 11 per mint, in the cost of the
femora' implements. But a still greater
element in the diminution of the price is
the decline both in cost of
PRODUCTION AND IN PROFIT,
The extremities to which depression has
brought industry and capital in the United
States is the cause of this. From the time
production begins at the mines until the
moment the fiuished implement is put down
at the border, there is a constant saving of
expenses, by means of fewer hands, lower
wages, and cheaper methods, which the
pressure of hard times and of competition
enforces. Iron ore, pig iron, finished iron,
steel, and all other materiel, are aaoh pro-
duced at some economy of cost, and the
aggregate of these economies makes a heavy
disoounton the former prices of implements
Freights have been worn down by the same
friotion of dull business and keen competi-
tion. Further, manufacturers are satisfied
with lower profits in these hard times,
Consequently, harvest and other agricultur-
al implements are offered by United Stenos
manufacturers tab a much lower price than
they ever were before. It is in such times
that the merits of an ad valorem duty aro
appreciated by buyers. Twenty per oent.
of the present low price of a United States
binder is a good deal less than twenty per
cent. of what the price was two years ago.
Of course our manufacturers have to meet
the low prices whish those of the !United
States are quoting. The farmer gets the
benefit of the lower duty, the lower cost of
produotion,and the lowerprofit,which must
mean a large savine. In binder twine there
is also a groat change forth° bettor. Hegets
that for

than he used to pay for it. Last year bile
duty w05 lowered ogle -half, twine mahtag
was begun in the central prison and this
year itis begun iu the Kingston peniten•
tiary, while some time ago the Patrons of
Industry opened a faotory. With lower
duty, Dominion and Provincial convict
labor, the co-operative principle, and
competition all at work to produce cheap
twine, there was little ohanae for the sur-
vival of exorbitant profits. Labor oleo
should be obtainable at reasonable wages.
In the towns and cities there is just Dow
a surplus of able-bodied min who should be
glad of a few weeks' harvesting. All
the staple aruticloe of consnmption,
which the farmer has to buy, are
remarkably law prised. Sugar, tea, and
like commodities were never before so
cheap. Everything considored, the farmers
ought to be able to get through their lar.
vesting for less money than they ever did
Mime labor-saving machinery tante into
general use. There never was a time when
relief from expense was more appreciated
as there never was a time the farmer got
so little for his grain.

Sanding a Message Round the World.
One day lash April a telegram was put
into the hands of the courteous ;thief engi-
neer of the British Postal Service, Mr. W.
H. Preece, with the request that he would
say whether it could bo sent round the
world by a certain route, and if so what
it would oast per word. When the writer
of this article went a feu' days later to look
after the progress of the telegram, Mr.
Preece shook his head. "The whole
foreign Department are at it," he said,
"and they are tearing their hair and pro-
testing, but you shall haveit soon."
The route planned was rather erratic.
It asked that the message bo sent by a cir-
cuit whish would take in the entire tele
graphic field of the world, touching at'the
moot remote points, but never leaving the
land line or the oable ; that is never being
transferred by post or messenger from one
point to another. Starting at San Francisco,
the route ran across the continent to Now
York by Vancouver and Montreal. From
New York it followed the world's northern
telegraphic boundaries through England,
Norway, Sweden, Russia and Siberia Going
south, it touohed at Nagasaki as Japan,
Hong Kong in China, Singapore, lava and
Sumatra, crossed Australia and landed in
New Zealand. Returning to Singapore, it
crossed to Bombay, made a detour to Coy-
lon, then on to Aden, rounded the Cape of
Good Hope, leaving the line at Zanzibar to
call at Seychelles and Mauritius, amounted
the West African coast to St. Louis in Sen-
egal, crossed the South Atlantic to Pernam•
Mum, traversed South America fronf'Buonos
,lyres to Valparaiso, and than went north
through Mexico to New York. In a few
days, true to his promise, Mr. Preece had
the answer ready. The telegram could be
sent. It would require about nfby-nix
hours, and would cost about 90 francs (01S)
per word.
TO GERtMANIZE TH-E DUTCH.
A I'0saltll0 Note or liar.
The destiny of little States is to be ab-
sorbed sooner or later by some powerful
neighbor. For Holland that neighbor is
Germany. Holland has vast colonies
whish enriched her in tunes past and made
her oommer0e flourish. But the colonies
now are deer luxuries for the mother mut-
tor, and are far from being profitable. This
would not be the case, naturally, if these
oolonies belonged to mighty Germany.
But there is another reason for theabsorp•
tion. In the coming great war Belgium
and Holland will be the apple of discord
between Franco and ('Germany. Franco will
capture Belgium, and Holland, too, if Ger-
many does not take good one.
Historically, Holland is of German origin.
She formed part, up to 1648, of the "Carole
de Bourgogne," Her language, intellectual
life, the history of her dynasty and its
branches in the reigning German families'
all go to assign Holland to Germany. Tho
Hollanders aro more German than they
want to admit. Joan Paul was right when
he called then!" a ahoapediton of Germans
upon ordinary paper and without engrav-
ings."
Ab the present time the Dutch aro oppos-
ed ro annexation; but there is a way to got
rid of their opposition. Lot a German
Prince become the husband of the young
Queen. That Prince should be the heir to
the throne of Gerumny. In this way he
would in timobecoma Emperor of Germany,
Xing of Prueeia, and King of Holland.

CHINA'S PLAGUE AND LONDON'S,
Who IUseasc Relieved 00 be the Seine, anl.
to be Mani by With.
Tice plagne raging in China, X10 ie now
said, fo identical with the epidemic kuown
in history as the Great Plague of London
Tho plague first appeared in London late
nthe autumn of 1004. It was quiescent
during the following winter and early
ppriug, but in May broke out again in the
parishes of. St, Giles and St, Martin, in
what woe then the extreme west end of the
town. It took the epidemic oix months to
resell the extreme east end, butitsprogress,
if slew was sure, and tens of thousands of
people perished, The disease increased
steadily in violence in tin °puss of the
summer, and was at its height in Septem-
ber, when more than a thousand persons a
day died.
From that tremendous total the deathrate
fell to almost nothing in October. The
figures for the five months in whish the
plague was epidemic are; May, 43; June,
690; .luly, 6,137• August, 17,036; Septem-
ber, 31,169. Thisamakes a total of 68,590
deaths in a population of 460,000. The
total is believed to be too low, for of the
6,432 deaths in that tine of spotted fever
many were doubtless due to plagueand were
reported differently to avoid the difficulties
thrown in the way of the funeral and burial
of victims of the plague. Some plane the
plague mortality at 100,000.
Long before tite pestilence had reached
its height, London had been deserted by
two.thirds of its inhabitants. Those who
remained were the poor who couldn't

the ohief victims of the pestilence which
was called the poor's plague. They were
probably scourged by the pestilence, not
because they were poor, but because they
were dirty. London at that time was as
dirty. end in as bad sanitary condition as
the cities of the East, which the plague
seldom leaves, are in now, and the poor
lived in its dirtiest quarters. Bro horst
,a
contemporary ph sioian, attr;buted the
pestilence to the local causes of filth, un-
cleanly habits, and surroundings, and bad
sanitary arrangements. His explanation of
the great plague has been Accepted as the
true one, and to thesecauses the plague in
China is due.
In Hong Kong today as in London in
1665, persons of cleanly habits may expose
themselves to contagion without fear. Less
than a dozen physicians died during the
Lonlon plague, and overfatigue and ex.
haustion probably hastened their death.
A favorite praotiae in London was to lock
up a house containing plague patients and
mark it with a red cross accompanied by
the inscription : "God have mercy on us,"
to warn outsiders. The; result was that
everyone in the house died, as a rule,
while the premises remained a breading
place of pestilence.
The plague spread widely in England,
but nowhere was so severe as in London. In
Oxford, whish was noted for its clesu con-
dition, the pestilence made no progress e,t
all, notwithstanding its nearness to London.
The plague revived in London in the
spring of 1666, but only 2,000 deaths ro•
suited, and the pestilence was well under
control long before the great fire, which is
popularly supposed to have swept it out
of existence. Defoe wrote what purports
to be an account of the plague, which is
equally realistic' and thrilling, but there is
reason to believe that it is more interesting
than trustworthy.
THE APPENDICITIS FAD.
Popular Errors About Grape Seeds Exploit
ed by a Prominent Surgeon.
A prominent doctor who has performed
a score of successful operations for the re-
moval of that troublesome and inexplicable
part of the human anatomy, the veriform
appendix, says that the general impress-
ion that appendicitis is caused by the
presence in the appendix of a cherry stone
or a current seed or a seed of any kin.i is
entirely erroneous. " I have not found a
seed in the appendix of a single one of my
oases," he said• " A small bit of digested
matter gets into the little sac, if the neck
of ib is opon far enough to receive it.
It may remain there for years and pause no
trouble, and then again it may bring on
appendicitis almost immediately. Where
the patient is m good health, in four oases
out of five the operation for removing the
appendix is successful. There is a great
difference in the length of time taken by
surgeons to perform this or, iu fact, any
11elicete operation. There is one surgeon
whe has performed the operation in sigh•
teen minutes, which included the time from
the moment the patient was brought in
oil the operating table until be was ready
to be taken out. Ibis is half the time that,
it requires the majority of skilful Burgeons
to do it. Of course speed is not evel'y-
, The appendicitis fad, as the craze
among riot people to hove their vermiform
appendices removed is called, still cou-
tinuea unabated, and there are few 'surgeons
of prominence now who are not familiar
with the performance of the operation. A
story is told of a doctor who is constantly
ordering the removal of the vermiform ap-
pendix for patients. He was called to sac
a gentleman one evening who had been
rather seriously injured. The gsntlemau,
when he recognized the doctor, said:
Oh, itis you; then 1 must have ap'
pendioitie
' Doctors who have allowed the appen•
dioibis fad to carry them away have per-
formed the operation upon a great many
people whose vermiform appendices were
in good condition, and In some cases pa.
bents having weak constitutions have diets
because of the needless slit in their ab-
domens, I aro very glad to explode that
story about the grape seeds and other seeds
especially as the grape season ie just com-
ing on. People who have heard about
appendicitis have given up the luxury of
small fruit in fear of appendicitis, and some
of the extremely sensitive ones have even
loon constantly worried lest some send that
they had swallowed, in the past might give

Found Saxon Coins,
A man working the other day at the

Ti;e men, being short-sighted, did net ob.

ornaments and appropriated them. He
then took possession of as many as he could,
nearly a shovelful. They were apparently
all of silver. The spot where bhey were
found 1s about six yards from bho high
road, and about one foot below the surface.
The coins are silverskeatta or pennies, the

how the derangement of the nerve
centres will cause the derangement
of the various organs which they
supply with nerve force; that is, when
a nerve centro is deranged or in any
way diseased it is impossible for it
to supply the same quantity of nerve
forco as when in a healthful condi-
tion ; hence the organs which depend
upon it for nerve foals suffer, and are
unable to properly porfbrm their
work, and as a result disease makes
its appearance,
At least two-thirds of our chronic
diseases and ailments are Sue t0 the
imperfect action of the nerve centres
{ at the base of the brain, and not from
Ss derangement primarily originating
in the organ itself. The great mis-
take of physicians in treating these
Siseaees is that they treat the organs
and not the nerve dankest which are
the cause of the trouble.
