FROM a pamphlet upon t\siatic
cholera, issued for free circula
tion by Dr. L. H. Harrij^-pf
? Pittsburg, Perm., ve make th\\
following extracts concerning the dis- >
ease, iti prevention and proper methods
of treatment :
In "Wood's Practice of MediciaeH
1855, " we read that although long known j
ia India, the cholera first lagaa to at
- tract the attention of the medical pro- !
feasioa geaerall y in the year I8J7, whea f
it brokerout aet an epidemic with, great !
violence iu Bengal and then commefceed
^ the fearful march which did not j
until it had encircled the globe.
When Dr. Wood wrote, ic 1854, there
seemed to be a great uncertainty in the I
minds of the medical profession and ?
much diversity of ojfiaTo.n as to the na
ture.of the specific cau>:e of the disease. I
ISven-^t that eariy dafi the *'germ I
theory, " though not understood as. now,
was vagriely hinted at by mbre~than one.
On this question Dr. Wood writes,
**some have been disposed to refer the
results to invisible animalcules" and
while admitting that many circumstances
tend to show that such a theory is with
in the bounds of a reasonable proba
bility, ad<is, "still it rau*t be confessed ;
that the opinion is witbou;; pruOtf as 1
these animalcules have never been de- i
tected.'r
It fcfjs been reserved for medical >
scientists of our oxzt day and within the j
past ten or twelve years to develop and .
prove the to- called germ theory, and it j
is now generally accepted by all that the f
diseases referred to by Dr. Wood, {
catarrh and influenza, are also diseases ;
propagated entirely by distinctive germs,
which have been isolated and very
minutely described. Professor Koch, the
^ eminent bacteriologist of Berlia, by his
. personal experience and experiments' ia
India, ia Egypt and elsewhere during
' the epidemic of 1??3 and 1&34, has es
tabiished beya&d lerious question the
fact that cholet^in its malignant for.n
is also a bacterial or germ disease,
^haviag isoiated and identified the
v "comma bacillus" as the peculiar germ
elwaye existing ia every case ofpgenuine
cholera and never fou:id under other
circumstances.
r Tb?? cholera genus may exist to a
limited except it. the air' during periods
whea the disease is epidemic, but moie
generally find tjaeir way iaf*.o the system
by the driakjag^of impdnb water, and
"* one of the beit precautionary methods is
to use no water for drinking except that
, - which has been boiled. Spring water
and that from ^shallow wells should be
?specially av^ided^
The development of ,tbe g?rm theory
of this disease enables the medical pro
fession to control ;t. to a greater extent >
than formerly and suggests many means i
of prevention entirely unknown during
fermer epidemics. This cholera germ if j
readily propagated and rapidly multi
plied ia the alimentary c.-taal, and its
tirst existence is shown by a diarrhoea,
which should be checked at once, and if
possible by retnedlea which at the same
time destroy the germs of the disease ;
the delay of a single hour in such cases
. is hazardous, since it is only ia the earlier
5 stages of the disease that it is likely to
n yield to medical treatment, and hence
; _ v the great necessity for having some re- !
liable remedy a/ways at hand for such !
emergency unfil the services of a physi- |
cian can be secured. Hence also the i
propriety of using preventive medicines,

The getra theory having been admit

remedy will be one which by experi
ence has proved most affective ia de>

twice a day. A bath room faW a ne*
cessity, a basin of water, a spongeantfa -
towel are all that is really required, but
the entire body should bo exposed to j

The diet should be carefully guarded
though not necessarily restricted to any
great extent. It should be such as to
maintain the digestive organs and the j
general system in the best possible con
ui^j/ki witnouc Suiuia^cioa or depression
and should consist of both animal and
vegetable food. Ucripe fruits, as well
as those which sre overripe, should be
avoaied. Vegetables which are not fresh
and those difficult of digestion may prop
erly be dispensed with and meats which
hare been kept for any length of time
should not be used.

such cases essence of beef, beef tea,
chicken soup with rice, broiled chicken,
broiled beef ^teak, mutton 01 lamb chops
broiled, boiled rice, tea and toast and simi- j
lar articles of food should be given the
preference. Gum Arabic water with loaf
sugar may be used freely as a drink.
Salt meats, fish whether fresh or salted,
oysters, clams, vegetables, fruits and all
greasy food should be avoided, and the j
patient should be kept as quiet as possi
ble, perfect rest being desirable.
Excessive labor both of brain and !
body, worriments, anxieties, sudden :
changes of temperature and everything
which tends to debilitate, enervate or j
depress the system should be avoided.
The necessity for pure drinking water j
has already been dwelt upon but this is j
a matter of such vital importance that it
may well be referred to again. A small
quanity of citric acid or lemon juice if
added to the water will be found both ;
agreeable and beneficial and mayibe used
as freely as desired.
Cholera although infectious, spread by j
some hidden or diffusive power, is not a j
contagious disease. It is not conveyed
by personal contact as is small-pox and i
lome other diseases. It is important j
that this fact should be emphasized so j
there need be no hesitancy in caring |
for those afflicted with t)u disease;

SOWING RYS.
Rye is a crop easily raised and is sub
ject to fewer casualties than wheat and
?grows freely on soils tea1, will not
produce remunerative crops of other
grains. It may often be profitably sown
In the fall on light soils as a kind ot
lupplementary crop which may be used
for winter pasture when the ground is
c frozen, and also be cut for soiling in
early spring, when tbe green stubble
can be turned under as a fertilizer for a
coming crop. Gn ground weli adapted
to the culture of the sweet potato rye is
an excellent crop to precede it, and,
whether pastured or cut for soiling, the
remains of the rye when plowed under
| will be of considerable' benefit to the
jroot crop. Then, if equal care is takei
to turn under the sweet potato vines
after the harvesting, successive crops
may be raised with but little fertilizing
material other than what is furnished by
the rye and the potato vines. The
latter contain much fertilizing matter,
which, if all saved, will go a good ways
toward making up for what is carried off
j in the tubers. The trouble in such cases
often is that the rye'is so promising in
its appearance in the spring that the in
ducement to keep it a few weeks longer
lor the grain and straw is too strong to
! permit of its being plowed under for
; green manure. While the amount of
! fertility derived from the green> rye
would not be large, the cost of the eeed
I would be small, and the seeding would
be done at a time when farm work is
I not pressing. It would therefore seem
! that such a use of land at a season when
i it would otherwise be unemployed might
! often be advisable.- -New York World.
CUTTING OTF TH& BLOOMS. /" ,
The old fancy that catting off the_
| dIoojqs of 'potatoes will increase the
! weight and quality of the tubers seems
j to have broken out afresh, but careful {
experiments made ia England and Swit
zerland disprove this. The theory was.
given to the world by a German ex
; perimenter, who published the result* (ft
a series of experiments which showed
that a considerable gain in the weight ;
and quality of the tubers resisted in
cutting off the blooms.
An account of a series of experim ents
made by an intelligent Englishman seem
to be so thorough that it is wortfc while
to give his results. His expeiiments ex
tended over a period of three seasons,
with but qne variety, f'aterson's Vic
toria potasoj a profuse bloomer, and at
that time in general cultivation in Eng
land. In no single year was there any
difference iu the quality and weight of
the potato, and the. average results
showed that there was no gaia derivable
from this operation.
Thorough experiments were made in
Switzerland to test the truth of this j
theory. The many varieties of potatoes
grown in that country were subjected to
the experiment. The test was carried
thlduglI"seYerarseasons in order to make
the result more accurate^ At the close
of the experiments the conclusion
reached did not corroborate the theory
advanced by the German experimenter.
The Englishman, after reviewing the
experiments made in Switzerland and
those by himself, draws this conclusion:
4 'This system, therefore, is of do use to
U3 while we have our present varieties of
potatoes, no matter what it may be else- |
where, and if properly tested it will in
all probabilities be found to be of little
value anywhere." ? American Farmer.

j , A paralyzed newsboy sells papers from
a wheel chair at the corner of Fifth ave
nue and Twenty-third street, writes the
New York correspondent ot the St. Louii
Republic. Visitors fom the West maj
have noticed him, for he is a pathetic
object and attracts much attention. Hii
helplessness has aroused all the latent
pathos in hearts that beat beneath ragged
jackets in that neighborhood. A Toca
| writer tells a pleasing anecdote concern
ing him, which I reproduce:
The newsboys afl sympathize witi
him. They help him fold and arrange
I his papers. On waim days they tak<
turns fanning him, carry his little" fold
ing tab is and assist him in various ways.
One day during the late hot spell ?
ragged urchin, with a bundle of papen i
under his arm, dirt-begrimed and carry j
ing a tin pail in his hand, walked up t? '
I the cashicr's window in a store not la1 !
from whkre the cripple sits. Rappinj i
j on the window he attracted the attentioi j
| of the cashier, and as he stood on hu :
tiptoe he handed in his pail, while s j
I smile bewitching as any society belle ii !

His large, lustrous, sparkling black eye :
caught hold of the cashier, and he said i
"Say, mister, der lame blokey what selh '
papers in de wagon on der corner want
a drink of icewater."
As the man who. handles the cash i
pasted out the pail of water the juvenile ;
remarked.- "Tanks, mister: you kno?

generally his heart is in the right piace. '
Apricot Faide.
Anricot paste, known a3 TCamar el
Dine, is, together with dried apricots,^
one of the principal exports from Damas
cus. The fruit, when gathered, is
crushed in a kind of lai^ iron wire
sieve, and the thick juice which results
from this operation is collected in earth
en vats, and then spread on planks cov
ered with a layer of oil, where it i?
allowed to remain two days exposed to
the air. At the expiration of this time
the paste is removed and turned. On
the fourth day the paste is again re
moved, aid it then has the appearance
of a band of leather, very thin, and of a
reddish-brown coior, about a yard and a
half long and half a yard wide. This is
the finest quality of paste. The same
?peration lis repeated onca ov twice to
obtaic a second and third quality, each
time a little water being added to the
.{Obiauucn of th? former operation. The
fl^nds of paste are then folded so as to
fdim bundles of about five pound 3 weight,
-rofcch are soid according to quality. ?

erbs xxi., 3S.
Permitted as I was a few days ago to at
tend the meeting of the British scientific
Association at Edinburgh, I found that no
paper read had excited more interact than
that bv Rev. Dr. McCook, of American, on
-? ? ?*? '? - -
the fields and forest given himself to tie
study of insects. 'And surely if tt is not t*>
neath the dignity of God to make spider* it
is not beneath the dnrnity of man to stud**.
them. j
We Jar* all watching for phenomena. A
sky full of stars shining from January to
January calls out not so many remaks as tfce
blaabg of one meteor. A w hole flock of
robiBs take not so;rnuch of our attention as
one blundering bafc darting into the window
on a summer eve. Things of ordinary sound
an 3 sight and occurrence fail to reach us. ' |
and yet no grasshopper ever springs, upon
cur r&tb, no moth., ever dashes Into the
evening candle, no mote ever floats in ths
sunbeam that pours through thecrack of the
window shutter, no barnacle on ship's hull,
no burr on a chestnut, no limpet clinging to
a rock, no rind of an artichoke but would /
teach us a lesson if we were not eo stupid.
God in His Bible sets forth for our consider- *
ation the lily, and the snowflake, and the
locust, and the stork's nest, and I the hind's
foot, and the aurora boreal is, and the ant
In myjtext inspiration opens before us the
"fcate of C palace, "and we are inducted amid
the pomp of the throne and the courtier,
and while we are .looking around upon the
magnificence inspiration points us it* a
spider plying its shuttle and weaving its net
on the wall. It doailjiot call us to regard
the grand surroundings of the palace, but to
a solemn and earnest consideration of ths

and the servant of SoJomon's palace cornea
with his broom and dashes down the insect, '
saying, "What a loathsome thing it it w
Bat under the -microscopic inspection I fin I .
It more wondrous of construction than the
embroideries on. the palace wail and the u %
hclsterv about tne window^
All the machinery of the earth could not 1
make anything so delicate and beautiful as
the prehensile with which that spider '
clutches its prey, or as any of its eight eyes.
VV e do not have to go so far up to see the
power of God in the tapestry hanging
around the windows of heaven, or in the
horses or chariots of fir 3 with which the
dying day departs, or to look at the moun
tain swinging out its sworJ arm from under
toe mantle of darkness until it can strike
with its scimetar of the lightning.
? I love better to study God In the shape of
a fly's wing, in the formation^ of a fish's
scale, in the snowy whiteness of * pond lily.
I love to track HSs footsteps in the mount
ain moss, and to bear His voice in the hum
or the rye fields, and discover the rustle / of
His robe of light; in the south wind\ Oh,
this wonder or divine power that can bt?d a
habitation for God in an apple blossom, and
tune a bes's voica until it is fit for the eterw
nal orchestra, andean say to Vflrefly, "Let
there be light;" and from holding an ocean
in the hollow of His hand, goes forth
to flnl heights and depths and length and
breadth of omnipotency in a dewdrop, and
dismounts from the chariot of midnight
hurdcane to cross over on the suspension
bridge of a spider's web
You may take your telescope ani sweep it
across the heavens in order to behold the
glory of God, but I shall talfrthe leaf hold
ing the spider and the spider's web, and I
shall bring the microscope to my eye, and
while I gaze and look and study and am
confounded I will kneel down in the grass
and cry, ' "Great an 1 marvelous are Thy
works, Xiord God Almighty!"
Again, my text teaches me that insignifi
cance is no excuse for inaction. This spider
that Solomon saw on the wall might have
said : "I can't weave a web worthy of this
great palace; what can I do uid all this
gold embroiiery?. I am notable to make
anything fit for so grand a placa, and so I
will not work my spinning jenny." Not so
said the spider. "The spider taketh hold
with her hau Is." Ob, what a lesson that is
for you and ?nel You say if you^had some
great sermon to preach, if you only had a
great audience to talk to, if you 'lad a great
army to marshal, if you only had a con
btkutipn to writa^ if there" was soms
tremendous thing in the world for you to do
?then you would show us. Yes, you would
show us!
What if the Levlte in the ancient temple
had refused to snuff thty candle because he
~c?uldnot be, a nigh priest? Wnat if the
humming bird should rtfussto sing itt songs
into the ear of the boneysuokle because it
oaunoL like thp e^gle, dash its win^ into the
iuu5" What is the raindrop shoul i refusi to
licSCKni "because it 19 pot a Niagara? What
if the spider oc the text should refuse to
jnovt: its shuttle beeau&eif cmuot weave a
ciobmon's robe? Away with such follj i If
you ar3 ]rz7 with the on^talent, you would
belaz.- with the t?n talents. If Milo can
not lift the calf he never will have strength
to lift the ox. In the Lord's army there is
or^er for promotion, but you cannot be a
general until you have been a captain, a
lieutenant and a co?one'. It is st?o by step,
it is inch fcy inch, it is stroke bv stroke that
our Christian character is bni'lde \ There
fore be content to do what God commands
you to do.
Go 1 is not ashamed to do small thing.-. H?*
is not as iirna d to be founl chiselin * a grain
of sand, or helping a honeybee to construct
its ca 1 witn mathematical ae-uracy or
tingeinjra shell in th? *frf. or ?h*ptng the
bir of a chaffinch. What Go ! do??, Ho does
well. What you-do. do wei], bo it a er>at

will give thee the crow 1 of life." I tell you if
you are not faithful to 3o1 in a small sphere
von would be indolent and insignificant in a
lar^e sphere. jr
Again, my text teaches me that repulsive
ness and loathsomeness will sometimes
climb up into very elevated places. You
wou d have trfei to kill the spiler that So!
omon saw. You would have sail: "Hiis is
do place for it. If that spider is determine.!
to weave a web, let it do so down in the cel
? T or 1? ?o ne dark duageon."
Ah ! the spider of the text could no; be dis
couraged. It clambered on ani climbed up.
higher and higher and higher, until after
ewhile it reached the king's vision, and he
eaid, "The spider taketh holl with her
"bends, and is In kinds' palaces." And so it
often is now that things that are loathsom3
and repulsive get uo into verv elevated
places.
The chu-ch'of Christ, for instance, is a
palace. '1 he King of heaven an i earth lives
in it. Ac^ordiuj to the Bible, her beams
are of ceciar, and her rafters of fir, and her
windows of agat3, and the fountains of sal
vation dash a rain of lizht. It is a glorious
palaco? the church of God is, ani yet some- u
times unseemly ani loa?h9omi things creep
UR^ioto if ? evil speaking and rancor and
s.ander and backbitmg and abuse, crawling
up on the walls of the church, spinning a

The spider crawling uythe wall of So'o

"Ob.w you say, "that is too grand a p!a~a
for you and me.'' No, it is not. If a spider,
according to the text, could orawl up on the
wall of Solomon's palace, shall not our poir
souls, through the blood of Christ, mount
up from the depths of their sin and sham*,
and finally reach the palace of the eternal
King?
Years ago, with lanterns oni torches and
a guide,, went down in the Mammoth
cave of Kentucky. You may walk
fourteen miles an1 s?e no rnnlight. It
is a stupendous place. Some places the
roof of the cave is a hundred feet
high. The grottoes filled with weird
echoes: aiscades falling from invisible height
to invisible death. Stalagmites rising up
from the floor of the cave? salactites de
fcending; from the roof, of the cave, joining
each other and making pillars of the Al
mighty's sculpturing. There are rosettes o!
amtjfchyst in hails of gypsum. As the gui le
carries his lantern ahead of ybu toe shadows
have an a peirance suoernatural and spec
tral . Ttfe darkness is fearful.
Two people, getting losbuom thiir guide
only for a few hours, ye^s agfv were de
mented.. tni for years sat in their insanity.
? You feel like hoi^Bg ycur breath as you
walk a cms the bridges that seem to span
the bottotnless abyss. The guide throws his
calcium light down into the cavern.*, an I
the light rolls and tosses' from rock to rock
and from depth to deptu, making at every
plunge a new revelation of the awful power
that could hav^made such a place as that.
A sense of suffocation comes uppn you as
you think that yon are two hundred and
fifty feet in a straight iim from the summit
jjurface of the earth.
The guide after awhile takes you into what
is called the "star charaher;" and then he
sajstoyou, "Sit here;" and then be takes
th ? lantern and goes down unier the rocks,
and it gets darker and darker until the
night iff so thick that the hand an inch from
the eye is un observable. And then, by
kindling one of the lanterns and placing it
in a cleft of the ro^k there, is a reflection
cast on the dome of the cave, and there are
stars conrng out in constel iations ? a bril
liant night heavens? and you involuntarily
exclaim, "Beautiful! beautiful !"
Then he fekes tha lantern down in other
depths of the cavern and wanders on and
wanders off until he comes up from behind
the rocks gradually, and it seems like the
dawn of the morning until it gets brighter
and brighter. The guide is a skilled ven
triloquist, and he imitates the voices of the
morning, and soon the gloom is ail gone and
yon stand congratulating yourself over the
wonder ful spectacle.
Well, there are a great many people who
look down into the grave as a great cavern.
They think it is a thou -and miles subterran
eous, end all the echoes seem to be the voices
of despair, and the cascades ssecn to be the
falling tears tbat always fall, and tha gloom
of earth seims coming up in stalagmite,
and the gloom of the eternal world s?ems
descending in th* ;?ia:nctite, making pil
lars of m desonbabl^ borror. The grave
is no fcuoii place as that to me, thank God!
Our divine guide takes us down into the
great caverns, and we h^va the la np to our
leetani tbe light to our path, and all the
echoes in the rifts of the rock are antuems,
and all the failiug waters are lountains ot
salvation, and after awhile we look up, and
behol 1 ! the cavern of the tomb has become
a king's star chamber.
And while we are looking at the pomp of
it an everlasting iroruing logins to rise, an 1
nil the tears of .earth crvstallizj into stalag
mite, rising up in a pillar on the ou j sid->,
and all tho glories of heaven seem to bo de
scending in a stalactite, nuking a pillar on
the other side, an l you pus'i against the
gate that swings bet vein thy t*o pillars,
and as that gate flashes opeu you flu.i it as
one of the twe'.ve gates which ar.3 tw_?!vtj
