wr Century reports

that Dr. Bas gs work has covered the testing of 54,000 animals It is stated that Dr. Bang has found that when tbe

tuberculin tect is properly conducted, it is

not i: jurious, unlees to animals which are | in an advanced stage of disease; and that | it‘‘may have acurative effect in mild ! cases.” In order to carry on an effective | crusade against the disease, Dr. Bang ba~ applied the tuberculin test, subsequently separating the acimals which react from those which do not. Sick animals are slaughtered, either immediately or after being rapidly fattened. Calves are reared by Dr. Bang’s direction, only from cows which are hesltby or which are bat slighily diseased, Care is takeo tl at the calves are not fed with infected milk and the ca'tle houses are thoroughly ventilated and the rays of the sua adimitted.

The number of cattle whic’: have re-| acied outef the 54,000 teste made in Dei mark varied from 20 per cent. to 50 per ccnt., aod averaged 39 per ceni,; whereas out of 132,000 animals slaught ered in the publ'c abbatoirs of Copenbagen:

Tpon cue Danish farm, where Professor Bawy ius Carried out the Danish regula- tions for three years, 131 asimale were found to be diseased, against only 77 which were bealtby. During thie period all the calves born of the diseased cows, with two exceptions, have been reared in health; and therefore there is reason to suppose that the same measures, wherever }

adopted, will soon result in the establieh- |

ment of healthy herds.

In thie connection, it is to be noted that Canada bas upon its statute book a law which fixes the respoasibility for diseased herds upon the owners thereof. Under the Avimwale’ Contagious Diseases Act, every breeder of or dealer in cattle er other avimals, and everyone bringirg foreign aviv a's into Canada, is bound to potify the Mnister of Agricu‘ture if he ehall perc ve ab¥ appearance of infectious disea-e among his cattle or other animale,

AMERICAN TOOLS ABROAD. |

Purchasers Found For Them Nowadays

Throughout the World,

American tools are sold all over the world. The New York representative of an American tool manufacturing estab

hment when asked where American tools were sent ran over the export or lers received that day. They included

rders from Hungary, Austria, Ger- many, France, England, South Africa und South America. ‘There were alt gether about 20 orders, and from some

» countries named there were two export orders of day included orders from

+ and New Zealand, unusual orders, but ‘eived. In the mi

Many of Ts are small. In some cases there were orders fora single

tool, or for two or three; for some orders of } dozen or two or three dozen to supply orders or to keep lines filled. These small orders are mostly from Enu- ropean countries, with which commu- nication is nowadays quick and conven- ' ient. European merchants order these

things just about as merchants in other cities in this country would. It costs no more to send to London than it does to Chicago, and it is as easy to send to Berlin as it is to Paterson.

The characteristics that commend these American tools to their foreign the same that mark American machines and implements | generally — lightness, fine finish and perfect adaptability to their several uses. The exports of American tools to all parts of the world are steadily in- creasing.—New York Sun.

Bad Story Telling.

If Oscar Wilde’s assumption were to be taken seriously, that all fiction is ly- ing, it might account for much that afflicts readers, since the lack of morale affects the intellect, and what is done without conscience is apt to be done badly. Of course all fiction is not lying, as all killing is not murder, but it isa sad fact that many writers of novels and short stories seem to have left their consciences and much of their brains behind when they go forth to work—as if these belongings might safely remain in seclusion, with the dress coat and the white tie. to be brought out only for especial occasions. Artemus Ward once remarked that he hada giant mind, but did not have it with him, and that (or the latter half of it) is apt to be the case with any of us when we are care- less. True, even good Homer sometimes nodded, but this affords no example for us who aie not Momers. To come to our ! tasks otherwise than with all our wits | about ys and invite public attention to the chance ‘‘oozinys of our brains’? is ts if one should issue from his apart- ments unshorn and half clad or enter upon the busy haunts of men without money in his pocket.—Frederic M. Bird in Lippincott’s.

Leather and Kerosene.

There is one use of kerosene which is seldom mentioned. It oftem happens that wheu a heavy shoe or boot has been wet it hardens and draws so that it hurts the foot. If the shoe is put ou and the leather thoroughly wet with kerosene, the stiffuess will disappear and the leather become pliable, adapt- ing itself to the foot. If oiled while wet, the leather retains its softness a longer time. The kerosene does not in- jure the leather at all.

At the beginning of this century a most peculiar cholera remedy was in use in Persia. It consisted in wadding up a leaf from the Koran and forcing it down the patient’s throat. -

—A Glasgow paper recently compiled trade statistics showinz, things, the total export trade in machinery from Great Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Belgium, Swelen and Switzerland, in the years 1885 and 1895

statement it appears thatthe total export of machinery from these countries in 1885

regated in value abont $33,000,000. that by 1895 the value of this export bad increased to about $131,(00,000. The increase in the ten years was thus about 58 per cent. This is, the averaze percent- age of increase ef the seven couoiries, Mow, how does Great Britain stand with reference to that average? The purpose of the compilation of these figures Was no doubt to show that Britain has been lag- ging in the race with tbe rest of the world; but there is po reason on that account to doubt their accuracy. They show that she is still ahead, but that her lead is rapidly growiog less. The percentage of increase in the exports of machinery from the several countries named between 1885 and 1895 are given as follows:

THE OLD OFFICE DEVIL.

Eke Tells How He Evoluted Into a Ooun- try Editor.

The old time devil was keen to learn. He had gall. He wasn’t afraid to ask the milliners for advertising or print- ing He dreamed of owning a paper of his own. He experimented in a thou- sand ways. He lived in the office al- most, being there early and late. He

| made a battery and copper plated types

before the first type founder thought of doing it. He did stereotyping in a rude way, making a matrix from blotting paper. Desiring to do his work better, he tried to buy proper materials for stereotyping, but he was bluffed so easily by the prices or talk given him by the dealers that for many years he supposed he was the victim of some infamously jealous trusts.

A tramp printer from Chicago made him believe that gasoline could be made. The Chicago man pointed toa big can of the fluid and insisted that he had made it. Gasoline was high priced then. The devil sold the gasoline the printer said he had made to a rival office, and the two divided the money. **Make some more,’’ said the devil. ‘*There is a demand for it.’’ The Chi- cago printer left that night, and the editor made the devil pay for the gaso- line.

The editor can recall his last visit from the tramp printer he ‘‘learned the trade’’ with, the one who made gaso- line. He came into the ‘‘shop’’ and was denied work by the foreman. Hesaw at a glunce that the old days ard loose Ways Were gone. kept young men and women were at work in an office as clean as a parlor.

“Whose runnin this sheet now?'’ he juquired.

‘\Ja-“ Hill,’’ was the reply.

‘‘l know him,’’ he said laconically. **I taught him his biz.’’

And then they saw him drift into the sanctum and heard him say: ‘Hello, Jack! You're doin well. I want some- thin to eat and drink.’’

‘‘Gasoline’’ got what he asked for, just as all tourists do who apply. The next morning he called on his editor friend again, and when he found him discussing prohibition with two or three ministers and one or two of the elders of the town he lurched right into the editorial den and joined in the talk to help the editor along. He was very drunk. He cried and said that naturally he was a prohibitionist, but he really longed to die and go to heaven, only he had become ‘‘such a d——d skeptic he didn’t believe there was such a place.”' Then he went to slecp. The preachers looked at him in pity. The editor spoke kindly of him as a comrade who had seen better days. As the editor talked **Gasoline’’ awoke and said:

‘‘Jack, if you don’t gimme a quarter to buy # drink with I'll sit here and boller.’’

And ‘‘holler’’ he did.

He ‘‘hollered’’ left.

This may or may not account for. the fact that prohibition has prohibited in Editor Jack Hill’s town since the last visit of his Chicago printer friend.— Chicago Times- Herald.
