S?re Care Found For Bog Cholera. A Discovery That Will Prove a Boon to the Farmer. Washington, Jan. 16 -The chief of the burean of animal industry, Dr. D. E Salmon, has submitted to Sec? retary Wilson a report upon the ex? periments made in the ti eat ment of hogs for hog chofera with anti toxine serum This sei nm is made npon the same principle as the anti-toxine of diphtheria Good serum has been obtained from both horses and cattle, a boree or cow being treated with the hog cholera vims in Small quantities at fi rat, with large doses alter so ita* We intervals of time The resist? ance is th ni? raised to the highest practicable point. The blood of such un animal when injected under the skin of swine bas been fonnd to pos? sess both a preventative and ii cure for cholera? This serum was first tested upon small animals in the laboratory and be ing fonnd efficacious, was last fall tested ia Page county, Iowa, on sev eral herds of swine containing alto? gether 278 animals Leaving ont one herd, from which definite returns as to canse of death contd not be ob? tained, only 39 died out of 244 ani? mals treated, of which 86 were sick. Consequently 82 2 pe? cent, of the ?animate in these herds were saved. Of untreated herds kept under ob serration during the period referred to about 85 per cent, of the animals died. Dr. Salmon believes that with experience a better quality of serum can be prepared and he has doubt that this percentage can be maintained hereafter. Referring to this report Secretary j Wilson remarked that uodoubtely the results reported by Dr. Salmon were most encouraging to hog raisers The cost of the serum now, said the secretary, is but 10 cents per head of animals treated, only one dozen being required, and doubtless in course of time this light cost may still be fur? ther reduced. "It is my opinion," said the secre-, tary "that it is of the unmost impor? tance that this serum for the next year at least be made by the bureau, un? der our own supervision, and distri? buted in large quanti tie 8 in order to demonstrate its efficiency upon a more extended scale, it is absolutely essential that during the experimetal stage serum of undoubted quality be used. Unless the hog growers eau obtain it from this department they will be forced to-depend upon what csu be obtained from private sources, aud owing to the novel ty of this pro duct,, not only will discouragingly exorbitant prices be charged for it, but in many cases inferior products may be offered. Thia would pre? clude the possibility of making , a satisfactory test on a widely extend? ed scale. "I propose to ask congress to provide an appropriation necessary to enable this department to furnish 2.000,000 dozens of serum dnring the next year, and to make a consid ?rable portion of the appropriation Immediately available. It seems from Dr. Salmons'? report that it takes three or four months to put a horse or cow in condition to supply the eemm : consequently the work upon aa extended scale must be undertaken at once. "The losses from bog cholera are so enormous and have weighed so heavily for years upon our farmers that I cannot imagine that congress wilt hesitate for a moment to make the appropriations necessary to carry on this work thoroughly. Indeed, apart from the great stake tbe farmers have in this matter, to refuse to pro? vide for a thorough test of this rem? edy would be, indeed, penny wise and pound foolish ; for the discovery of thia serum has involved already masay years of work and a very large sum of money. It would be a great mistake, now that so great a discovery seems to have been made, not to fin? ish the work by giving it a thorough and extensive test."

Statement From a Physician Who Declares it to be Chickenpox. * . Orangebarg, Jan. 15 -The follow? ing papers have been received by the correspondent of The Stace : Oraogeburg, January 14, 1898. Dear Sir : Eoclosed find opinion of Dr. James La Roche Beckett of Sum? merville, who daring and since the war has treated over 300 oases on the islands ou our coast near Charleston, which you may have published if you think advisable. He came on invita? tion of the physician to tho State cot*, ored college and the physicians of the ! local board of health. Respectfully, Wm. R Lowman. I certify that the oases of emptive fever examined by me at the Colored Mechanical college are typical eases of varicella or chicken pox. My con? clusions are based oo the following symptoms: The eruption in the eight oases examined are of successive stages of development ; in those pustules where desquamation has taken place the the scar s left in the skin are destitute of that peculiar hardness, kernel-like, or tubercular elevation, which is a dis tiootive characteristic of smallpox. In smallpox, the scab falls off in one solid piece ; those scabs examined are com? ing off in scales or flakes, the eruptioo in these eases being superficial, in the cellular tissue elongated or globats io spots, whereas smallpox pustules are deep-seated, with hard unyielding basis which nodular or tubercular feeling re? mains a considerable time after the patient is up and attending to his duties The papulae of smallpox are hard, re? sisting and moveable ; in the cases re? ferred to eruptions are soft, yield under the touch and entirely destitute of the tubercular hardness In the negro, after desquamation, the emption with? out a single exception, always leaves a circumscribed and white spot on the surface. In the case of Student Hicks, who is entirely recovered, the marks of the eruption are a shade darker. There? fore in my judgment, these cases ex? amined are chicken pox of an aggra? vated type James L. Beckett, M. D -^i^^ Smallpox in Laarens County. Cross Hillt Jan. 16 -Sheriff MoCra yey's brother, living two and a-baif 'miles from here, is reported to haye smallpox. The governor has been wired to send an expert and points.

It baa beea referred to as remarkable that the Fnited States Government, in fitting ont its expedition for the relief of the whalers im? prisoned in the Arctic Seas, should bare se? lected and icclnded Royal Baking Powder arno ag its supplies, and no other. This is not at all to be wondered at. The Superior quality of the Royal made its use opon this occasion indispensable. The Royal is the only baking powder so carefully and perfectly made that it will keep fresh in all climates, o oder variable degress of tex pe ra? ture end moisture, daring loog sea voyages, etc. It is the oely baking powder that will do its work uniformly and perfectly at the Polee and nader the Bquator as well as in tb? United Sutes. The Royal is regularly and cootiauosaly selected for ase at oar ?roay posts, io the na? vies of this country and Great Britain aod apon the fleets of merchant vessels that cover the oceans, itrespective of the flag they fly. AU this means that the Royal is the best baking powder for home ase also. It means that it bas qualities peculiar to itself which make its usefulness beyond that possible for any other baking powder to attaio. People who do not know Charles ton ways may suppose that a cadet ball is a very high social function. ?8 a m?tter of fact the cadet balls are attended by very respectable people but they are not managed by the most exclusive circle. If Cadet Peterson bad been invited to a ball given by the genuine aristocracy of Charleston and bsd taken Miss Crane with him, he would not have been treated as he was. Cadet Peterson "and ladies" would not have been invited to an aristocratic ball in Charleston ii he was not a gentleman Being a gentleman, the aristocracy would know that he would bring no improper woman with him. The cream of Charleston society never makes such mistakes. That belongs to the new element.-Abbe vile Medium. At last it bas been decided tbat the new county of Dorchester is legally a county within the provinces of the constitution and the act covering the formation of new counties. The State supreme court, yesterday dismissed the petition for mandamus in the test case brought before it some time ago. The opinion of the court in the case has not been filed and until then no details can be given, lt will doubtless be forthcoming in a very few days. This opens the way for the court to consider and pass upon the Stop? pelbein contest over the office of pro? bate judge in this county, which has been pending for some time, but was recently postponed until action had been taken in the test case. The people of Dorchester county are doubtless happy over the result of the test -The State._ , Montgomery, Ala, Jan 14.-A spe? cial to the Advertiser (rom Huntsville, Ala , says : White Bloseog, a cattle buyer of Pulaski, was killed at Hobo's Island by bis horse falling oo bim. A Specimen Pension Fraud. A Boston physician who formerly occupied (be two positions of medical examiner for pensions aud for posi? tions io the Bostoo police and fire de? partments was called opon to examine an applicant for appointment to the police force. The applicant testified that he was able-bodied io every respect and bad never bad a sick day in his life. Subsequently the same man ap? peared before the board of medical ex? aminers for pensions as ao applicant fer ac increase of his pee sion, and he tes? tified that be wa? a physical wreck aod incapacitated for work on accooot of bis physical infirmities resulting from his services in the war.-Boston Her? ald. The despised corn stalk, which for all these years the farmers have burnt as of no account, just as the cotton planters used to throw aside the seed of that plant as valoless, at last turns out to be of such worth as to pay handsomely for marketing," said Mr. D M. Frank, of Kentucky, at the Riggs "Our farmers are sell? ing it readily for $5 a ton, and on an acre producing forty bushels of corn there v. ill be at least two and a half tons of stalks The uses to which the st ilk is being put is one of the most extraordinary agricultural discove ries of this day. At present there are but few factories in the country that are equipped for making cellu? lose out of this material, one of which is Iocatad at Owensboro. Cellulose is the pith of the com stalk ; it uses are varied .and wonderful and it has a market value of #400 a ton. War vessel? are lined with it, and when ever a vessel so lined is punctured with shot, the contact of the water with the cellulose causes that to swell, closing the aperture and pre venting the water from entering be? tween the ship's inner and outer walls. "Besides, the railroads h&ve found it to be far superior to cotton waste for packing journals as it requires less oil and obviates hot boxes. As a covering for steam pipes it is the best known substance. For making paper it is found superior to wood pulp, and from it kodak films, fres? coes, and all papier mache articles can be made. This does not begin to exhaust the list of its marvelous pos? sibilities, and from what I have seen and heard ? believe that dozens of other useful articles, as linoleum, water proof garments, patent leather finish, and the like can be produced from this simple material of the fields." -Washington Post. x Johnson's Chili and Fe? ver Tonic is a ONE-DAY Cure.
