Attention has lately been directed to the discovery of tuberculosis in the herd at the Experimental Farm at Ottawa. It is not necessary, in this article, to state the re- sult of the investigation made thereupon asthe report, bas already appeared. Our reader- will obtain further information by the perusal of an article written by James Long, in tie Nineteenth Ceotary Mazz ne, for October eatitied **Consump- tion in Cuctle Conveyable to Man.” Very many p ople in Charlottetown, to-day, are buyiug milk from vendors without any gusrantce as to whether or not, some at least of the cows are infected with tuber- culvsis or consumption which is convey- able to man.

This provioce is rapid’ y making a name for it« dairy produce in cheese and butter. But, eo far, littie, if anything, has been dooe to discover any traces or prevent the epread of tuberculosis in cattle. The Danish people have long beeo noted for the excelleucy of their but:er, which today comands the higheet price in the Kogiisi mwark-ts. The Danish Govern- meot have, for sometime past, adopted measures for the protection of the cattle of the farmers, aud Dr. Bang, a veterinar™ ian uf the highest rank in Europe, has had charge of the work since its com mencement in 1891. Ino the State of Mas-acbusetts, the Board of Agriculture

hav. adopted a compreheasivs scheme tor |

beiled, especially where it ie consumed in

At the sanitary Congress of 1296, an important discussion took place upon the subject here discussed, with the resul. that suggestions were issued to the country, were practicaliy as follows ;

lst. That sanitary authorities urge committees of atylums,workhouse-, etc., to givepreference to the farmers who supply milk from herds guaranteed tree from tuberculosis by the tuberculin test.

2nd. That the authorities should ac- quaint consumers, throug& the medium of wivertisements, with the names of vendors who supply such milk.

3rd. That the Government should test, without charge, the cattle of those farmers who are willing to dispose of their aff-cted animals,aod tobuy others only afier,— testing all animals showing reaction to be brand or slaughtered under the supervision of qualified inspectors.

4th That public abbatoirs be established in every district, and thet their use be compulsory.

5th That butchers be compersated for condemned carcasses, under certain con- ditions.

We might go on to relate’ experiences that have been met with in past years, both as regards diseased cows found in milking herds used to supply our citzene and inferior milk sold on _ our streets. But enough has been said to imprese the importance of prompt steps being taken by the Provincial Govern ment to have all cattle eupplying milk subjected to the tuberculin task. Tuberculin is @ material which was firs, prepared and employed by Koch in his antitubercular treatment. He describes it a< a glycerine extract of pure cultivations of tubercle bacilli. In practice, the lymph is

animal. If tubercle is prerent, reaction follows, the temperature subsequently falling. The operation is neither difficult norexpensive. If it smou'd prove the cattle fri ¢ of disease the fact is a guarantee to the public and a certificate of character which must, in a close competition, have an effect in the English butter and cheese markets. If it should prove that the cattle are diseaced,—they ought to be slaughtered.

Prices at Skacguay.

Money goes like water through a sieve in Skagguay. It costs $1 to lock a man in the face. Men are like wolves— they literally feed upon one another. Ww ages for pac ‘*kers—any one who can carry 75 to 100 pout nds on his back and eae ten hours—are $7.50 a day up- ward, ‘‘Experienced’’ horse packers are getting as high as—in one instance I know—$20 a day. The teamsters are making more than that. One was heard growling because he had only made $50 that day; they sometimes make $100. Horseshoe nails are $1 a pound at Skag- guay. At the foot of the hiil they have fetched 10 cents a piece. A single horse- shoe at the foot of the hill has cost $2.50. Rubber boots that cost $5 sell for $9. A shoemaker, a blacksmith, a watch- maker, also have set up shop.

A constant surprise is the number of women. Some of these are at the dance- house, but the majority are the wives of miners. There is but one child in the whole place. It is a town of grown up people. The women dress, some of them, in short skirts, with lcather leg- gings or rubber boots, or else in vut and out men’s trousers.

I stop and ask a man what is the name of the main street. ‘‘Oh, don’t ask me,’’ he replies. ‘‘I’ve been here a week and I come up here every day and I get lost.’’ All is movement and ac- tion. There isnothing fixed. The tent of yesterday is a wooden building today. Where a tent stood yesterday there is a smooth spot and some tent pin holes only.—Harper’s Weekly.

A King’s Apparel.

An order which has been received in England from a dusky monarch ina British colony for his regal robes and crown indicates that civilization is making very rapid progress in west Africa. The kings who were content to be clothed solely in a top hat and a pair of anklets, if they have not actually all gone, are fast disappcuring.

The enmimer ution of the articles asked for will no couLt be of interest as show- ing the ree of a king—in west Africa, They are:

One pair trousers, black superfine cloth, embossed in rich, heavy silk.

One shirt, black superfine cloth, em- bossed with gilt, straight lines of gilt braid.

One mantle to design, lined black silk, embossed all around edge in gilt oak leaf, with fixtures for epaulets.

One gilt nine inch crown.

One pair epaulets, with gilt tops and gilt fringe.

One cap to design (star in center).

Three feathers for ditto. »

Six yards silk lining.

It is a circumstance worthy of note that a cap (star in center), with three feathers, is an indication of royalty in Africa when the crown (gilt, nine inch) is absent, and also that his majesty is the proud possessor of one shirt and one pair of trousers. —London Telegraph.
