In a report recently addressed to the town conned of Hull, Dr. Mason, medical officer of health for the borough, expresses himself very strongly as to the results which may follow on the consumption of milk from tuberculous cows. His atten tion having oeen drawn to the fact of tuberculosis among milch cows ho visited a dairy, and having the support of a veterinary surgeon to the effect that the disease did actually exist in a cow, he gave instructions to the proprietor not to 'i sell the milk for food and obtained [ samples of the milk for microscopical and j chemical examination; the cow was also .kept under observation. The sputum j was found to contain, tubercular bacilli, and pus ceils were visible in the milk. The milk,' it is stated, was peculiar in con-! taming a much larger proportion of fatty I matter than is contained in healthy-milk. ? The cow was finally purchased by Dr.J Mason for 50 shillings;, she-wns in an-j emaciated condition, and when slaught- ; ered tubercles 1 were found. The dura mater and lungs were in ah advanced condition' of tuberculosis, as' were' also the liver and some glands. Dr. . Mason, j having detailed thess.facts, goes on to as-1 serf that bovine tuberculosis is an infec- j j tious disease/ which can be transmitted I ' "by the Ingestion and inoculation of flesh j and ihilk of a tuberculous beast. Cows affected with tuberculosis are", he" alleges, I generally good milkers. The disease, he i states, is hereditary,, and transmissible to j the human species through the milk and' flesh, should these articles be uncooked or insufficiently cooked.?London Lancet. "Wonderful Effect* o':' the Pyrophore. At a recent meeting of the Academy of Sciences, at Paris,' a-plate half filled with water, in which Were half a dozen insects about an inch in length, which shone like diamonds, although the room was filled with Bunshine, was paused around among the members. These insects had been brought from Mexico, where they are to be found In the forests. Then: scientific name is the pyrophore; and, as none had ever been seen before in Europe, they created quite a sensation. The light rc- j semblcs that of a glow worm or a Are fly, although as much more brilUant and in | tense as an electric lamp surpasses a wax taper in its power of illumination. When the light begins to fade, it can be made as brilliant as before by shaking the insect I or dipping it in water. ' ? I It is said the Indians of Mexico use them for a light at night, as a few will suffice to illuminate an entire room. "When they are walking at night, they put one on each foot, so that they can be sure of their way, and also that they do not step upon any venomous snake or reptile with which the tropical forests abound. The Mexican ladies buy them of the Indians, and inclose them in a transparent bag, which they wear in their hair or at the neck. The effect is very beautiful, especially when several are worn; and, as the Indians- sell them for a few cents a dozen, they are within , the reach of every fair. one. They are fed on sugar cane, and, if well taken care of, will live a long time.

He had prepared himself carefully for the task, but the contemplation of its manual labor tired him in advance. H& went to a type writer's office down-town, where three or four industrious girls were earning their living, and learned that he could dictate to one of them at the rate of from L?00 to t.OOO words an hour, by paying 4 cents per ;00 words. The noise of the.clicking ma chines at first threatened to disturb ids efforts at original composition, but before ho had worked half an hour he was used to it. The business of composing and dictating the 30,000 words occupied about twenty hours, or five or six days of three or four hours each. At the end of each sitting he left the office with the com pleted manuscript in his hand. There suit was accompLihcd without fatigue, and its quality, he says, was unusually good?for him. He further testifies that, for the first time in his life, he has a "realizing sense" of what emancipation is. ?San Francisco Argonaut. The Pullman Car Porter's Mistake. When M?ns, and Mme. Vignaux werft traveling by Pullman car from New York to Chicago the madame met with a little accident. A bottle containing eyewater (it could not have been cosmetique, for she uses none) was broken, and to pre serve the liquid M. Vignaux poured it into an empty champagne bottle, and placed tho bottle back in the basket. At night the porter volunteered to take care of the champagne, and with messleur's consent carried it away. In the morning it was returned, but the bottle which had contained the eyewater was empty. When the porter appeared he could with diffi culty be reflDghized. His eyes were as large as billiard balls, and they leaked torrents, and the poor man went about as if he had received some internal injury.? Chicago Herald. TJcartis Preventive of Consumption.

When I speak of a wild horse, you will understand that the word "wild" implies its full meaning, for certainly no animal I in existence is so thoroughly unapproach | able. Their superior intellect to other ; animals when partly bred to good stock, j their faculties of * ? -.ling, seeing ! and smelling, couj' with their fleetuess and courage und their ability to stand days and weeks of running, make them the most difficult of animals to capture. Confining'thcniselves almost entirely to the inaccessible mountains, only coming' down to water 'once a day; makes it almost impossible to follow, much less capture them, and when a band or a portion of a-, band goes wild it is' j rarely in these days that tho owner ever, tries to recapture them,' knowing full-' [ well that it nearly takes h?rse for horse; in the.business, and the wild horse once' captured has been so' run down and abused to bring him into subjection that he.is.hardly worth the success. THE LEADER OF THE HERD. . "With the wild horses a stallion i? at the head, and the leader of eve?yherd, hav ing such full control over them that no band of cowboys are able to drive a band of horses so fast or well as a stallion cam'' All in the band are so thoroughly afraid of him. they keep in a hunch, and their speed is gauged by his own, he running behind with his head low, scarcely above the ground. He advances quickly on the hindermost ones/giving them a sharp bite on the rump, thereby giving them to.' understand they must keep up. Should one torn out he fol lows him, much after the fashion of the shepherd dog, and runs him back. Until his band are out of sight in the mount ains he keeps this up. Here they seem to understand that he can not follow, them all, and they scatter in all directions, in ravines, canyons and inaccessible places, so that when the rider arrives at the place he last saw them (usually around some sharp point or on some high peak) he is mortified to find his own horse almost ex hausted aud his herd so scattered (prop ably only two or three in sight) that he gives up the chase in disgust. It is surprisiug how easily and thor oughly domestic horses go wild under the influence of these wild stallions. Many is the.emigrant or horse-raiser who has gone to bed at night full of confidence and oftcn.pride at the condition and numbers of his stock, only to wake up in the morn ing to find nothing left but the one horse on tho picket rope and the train of their fleeing animals, driven or coaxed away by these wild horses?gone, and forever. I recall to mind now an acquaintance of mine in Nevada, one Joseph Gil bert, who lived in Reese River valley, in Louder county, who took a pride in the quality and quantity of his horses. His herd numbered about 500 head, and "was generaUy conceded to be the best in that section. Joe was in fine circumstances, and bore the reputation of being well off and nn excellent man, but somehow a band of wUd horses began to priey.upon his herd, finally securing to ?themselves a beautiful staUion recently purchased by Joe at an expense of $1,000. ?After his capture Joe's herd was of short ?duration, as with the assistance of this stallion they nearly or quite all went wild,, and though rewards of $5, and afterward.$10 per head'was offered for the ^horsfia.in-?oy -cogcxiil, -with,an additional offer of .^5MIbr.the^ staHio"ii)T'never heard" ?of, more" than , fifteen cr twenty horses : being returned. : A.

I One" night while in camp at' Autelope'valley his teaui of horses (two' .'fln? maresl? disappeared. *'ilwaftlng 'the" next morning he found himself without his horses, and starting his ' two ' boys' to follow some tracks in one dhrectibn, he ;an'd his- .wiJ^'Jstnrfod in another. :Pres en fl y 'he e'atiic hv sight "of his lost horses in company with several wild ones, and, to his horror, ho buw coming toward, him the stallion "Boss of the Herd,"and.although he had. his duuble I barreled shot-gun, lie knew it."was loaded I with line, shot, and those two .loads were tho only things standing between him and. destruction. Had he been a "Lender foot," undoubtedly he would have been injured. Being, however, an old-timer, he stood his ground, teUing his wife to keep continually behind him. On came tho infuriated beast, head down, ears back and mouth open, to within a few paces of Blossom, who, at this critical moment, began to swing his arms in the manner done when throwing a lasso. This recalled to Iiis horseship the unmerciful and uncontrollable character of these ropes when once in their fold, and fearing his own captivity, he stopped on his charge, but continually circling around just out of reuch of a rope, he endeavored to scare his enemies away. Blossom kept swinging his arm and yeRing constantly, working toward his own horses, unt? flnaUy he reached them. Fortunately they were the gentlest pos sible, and not yet under the influence of their wild companions. Assisting his wife to mount one, he mounted the other, and as he started back to camp the stallion saw his efforts were hopeless and went back to his w?d herd in the distance, assisted by the two loads of small shot before mentioned. Had Blossom, when first attacked, shot this horse aud failed to kUl him, as he did after being mounted, he would undoubt edly never have lived to teU the tale. Should he have kiUed him, the report of the gun would have Btampeded the band, and in all probability his team would have followed; but once on their backs be had them, beside forming a combination, viz.: "Horse and rider,"of which aUborsfis and cattle are afraid in the far west.?T.

A young Englishman appeared every morning in the tobacco divan of Sig. Alborti, bought the most expensive cigars, gave presents to the beautiful shop-girl, and, so far as his faulty command of the Italian tongue aUowed, paid assiduous court to her. Subsequently he presented her with his visiting card, on which was engraved Lord Rodney. He told her that he was staying at the Grand hotel, had hired the entire first etago, and was dying for love of her. He asked her to be his wife, but wished that the marriage should be performed secretly and immediately, because he feared that if his aristocratic kinsfolk in England gained any knowl edge of his intentions they would move heaven and earth to hinder the union. The young lady told the story to her employer, and Sig. Alberti prudently enough went to the Grand hotel, made Inquiries, and found that aU the servants spoke of the generosity and wealth of the English nobleman. He advised her to ac cept the splendid offer, and a day was fixed for the marriage. As the young lord did not turn up at the appointed time Sig. Albert! and the lady - went to the hotel to find him.

It is said that a company has been formed in New York city for securing pure milk by a new process. Fresh, pure milk, made in localities where feed is cheap, is canned, bottled, and corked when first drawn from the cow, and im mediately heated in water or steam, both being under the pressure of the atmos phere. It is then cooled, after which it may be kept a year without undergoing any change. Heating destroys aU germs, and bottling prevents aU connection with the outside air.
