It is more fatal to them than all other 'diseases combined. But the discovery of a liquid remedy that positively destroys the Microbes has been made. Half of the young chickens are killed by Microbes . before they are fryers. A jo-cent bottle is enough for 100 chickens. It is guaranteed. If, after using two-thirds of a bottle you are not satisfied with it as a cure for Chol era, return it to the druggist from whom you purchased it, and he will refund your money. For Sals fcy W. II.

A (Jcrniiin Inventor, Jtr. Sicscnnff, ingenious clcitriu said to produce voice with won- experiments, tho is decided to sub- stitnte a ctipper-eoated steel wire m place of the ordinary iron wire for tele graphic ajul telephonic service. Storage battery traction is bein rapidly pushed in Kcw Orleans. Tlnrty cars in all are to be installed within tho next few months. Thirty trucks aro already mounted with motors and pre pared to receive the car bodies. The donkeys in some of the mines through which electrical wires havo been run have, learned that they aro dangerous, and in poinj through the mines show a marked intelligence in avoiding the wires, thus proving that a donkey possesses caution, if not any higher mental quality. The demand for rare elements for the manufacture of incandescent gas burners has greatly increased the pro duction of several uncommon minerals. Thus, according to the report of Mr. Day upon the Mineral Resources of tho I L'nitetl States, there was sold in tho I year 1NS7-S twenty-five tons of zircon,, ! four tuns of uiona.ite, one ton of allan- ite, (il)l) pounds of samarskite, and ?nII0 worth of yttrium compounds. Vice-President Morton's country home at Khineclilf-., X. Y.. is provided with '-!."i0 iiK-andescent lamps. An inter esting feature is the wiring of the house in such a manner that should any win dow or door be tampered with by bur glars a special automatic switching de vice will throw into circuit a number of lights, thus giving the noctural intruder a bright and warm welcome.

Your arguments-are those of an eminent scholar. I was myself a fair scholar. Tor years I pondered, so to speak, day and night over books, and filled my head with sound views very sound ones, indeed those of others. I'.ut I could not get to practical results. I then began to work 'and think inde pendently, (iratlually my views became unsound, but they conducted me to sound results.'' A recent addition to the application of electricity to mining is a portable de vice for detecting the presence and na ture of a mineral where the latter is exposed in the rock or earth. The ap paratus c onsists of a battery and spark coil, whieh are inclosed in a box. and the conductors end in two platinum points. If the points be connected to a conducting body and the circuit rup tured, a spark will be formed, the flame and color of which will give some indi cation of the nature of the body which the electrodes have touched. Thus, by placing the two points against a rock containing metal in a free state, its presence may be detected by merely applying one electrode and passing tho other rapidly over the surface. The ap paratus, which weighs about 10 pounds, is arranged to be carried on the back, and can be used to explode blasts in con nection with electric primers. Where the Watchi'H Go. Where do all the watches go? Why, every young man coming of age buys one, and that alone is sufficient market. There have been only 12,000,000 made and imported into this country since tho war. That is one watch for each per son in five of our population. When yon remember that vast numbers of watches are stolen and melted down every year, and smashed in accidents or lost, and that the average life of tho average watch is only about ten years, you will see thai, the watch-making in dustry is still in its infancy. Here is another fact, that every panic sends 25 per cent, of the watches of the country to the pawn shops, where about half the watches are melted down for the precious metal in the cases.

Eight or ten years ago one of the comic, weeklies had a picture showing the Mayflower as it must have apprared en voyage. It was loaded to the guards and festooned in the rigging with spinning-wheels, settees, high-backed chairs, snuff boxes, candlesticks all the vast store of impedimenta which has since done duty in the heirloom line. If the cartoon were to be pre sented again the good ship would havo to be accompanied by a flotilla of junior May-flowers to afford standing-room even for the hordes of forefathers and foremothcrs who. according to to-day's estimate, crossed in the historical ves sel. Colonial ancestry is the craze of the moment in the fashion able world. Early English has given place to early American, and it is doubtful if the history of tho founders of this Renublic had ever such devoted and enthusiastic students as just now. No debutante is worthy of mention who has not a pedigree as long as the feather boa which encircles her graceful neck, and brides' progenitors are presented in the printed accounts of their weddings as far as the eye can reach- and sometimes a little farther, for, as an astute young belle justly ob served the other day: "It's not so hard to provide yourself with a Dutch father or a Puritan mother. They're all dead, anyway, and what is the use of being a lineless orphan, with plenty of 'old families' floating about in the dim past. I advise any one, not otherwise provid ed, to atlopt a good, respectable ghost, and date from it. or him, or her,or what ever the proper designation maybe." Inch, of course, is flippant and frivol ous, but rather suggestive, too. IUwould seem that society simply had to have a new rage. Anglomania is be ginning to fall a little a London season and an English Peer for a husband are both now to easily secured to be seri ously interesting; money is very com mon; display has been done to death. The pursuit of colonial lineage, while it lasts, offers a diversion. Meanwhile it is very amusing. "P.rown, ditl you say?" drawls Mrs. I'.leeker Illueblood, raising her lorg nette to ga.e at a pretty woman in the opposite box. "One of the Knicker bocker P.rowns. is she?" "No, 1 think not," replies her com panion. "One of the Prownsof 1'rown- ville. you know.' ; "All, ' says Mrs. Blucblood, indescrib ably, anil the lorgnette and the pretty woman are dropped together. X. Y. Times. ! TOO HIGH-TONED. A dour of Draw 1'okrr in which I'.oyalty Took a Hand. A few years since one of Uncle Sam's frigates was lying in the harbor at Hon olulu, and attached to it was a jolly, fat, good-natured officer, a favorite with every one. While this vessel was in port the steamer from Australia came in, bringing as a passenger, Hilly Emer son, the negro minstrel, who was on his way to California. Finding that llono- lulu was a pretty good place he con cluded to stay over one steamer. Now, liilly's reputation as a poker lover is pretty well known, and so is that of his Majesty, so it did not take long to set up a "little game." An ap pointment was made for Hilly to meet the King, and when his Majesty came into the hotel he was accompanied by a certain Colonel on his staff, who owned a butcher stand in the town. In passing through the billiard room his Majesty spied our jovial tar, whom we will call "Jim" for short, because that is not his name; and. knowing his well known scent for a battle, invited hiin to join in the fight. When the game began it was Jim's first bet. and he chipped up S3. The Colonel came next and raised $10; then his Majesty saw that and went $50 bet ter, which made our lolly manner a little faint; but when Lilly saw the last raise and went $500 better poor Jim laid down his hand and came out. Of course every one wanted to Know what was the matter. 'I tell you what, fellows.'' he said, "that is the dogondest game of poker ever I got into, a Lieutenant, a butcher, a nigger minstrel, and a King! It is too high toned for me." Washington Star. Crrxt 1'rritpnt-e of Minil. A middle-aged gentleman who was crossing I 'nion square the other after noon, with his wife, pulled his hand kerchief out of his overcoat pocket, and with it a dainty letter. A boy who no ticed the circumstance ran after him and called: "Hej', mister, you dropped this let ter." "A letter?" asked the man as he Stop ped. "Yes, and its directed in a woman's handwriting, too." "Give it to me," said the lady. "I!oy, you go on!" warned the man. "I know you, sir, and I'll put an officer on your truck! Come. Lucy, it's the old freight bill dodge you've read about so often in the papers." They walked on and the lad uttered a whistle of surprise, made up faces after them, and was perhaps a mile away When the gentleman came hurrying back and asked of an idler who was walking around: "Have you seen any thing of ahoy about so tall, dressed in u. brown suit, with a k-tter in his hand'.'"

The following editorial from a re cent issue of the Ni.sln i.lc American, i- the most concise and sensible ex pression wo have yet seen on tlio road question. lietlior the pusent As sembly gives us a new road law or not, the suggestions contained in this ttrticle can he adopted by every coun ty, every district, and every gang of road hands in the State, and if thus adopted and adhered to for a few years, we would soon begin to see marked improvement jn mr public roads. Every road overseer in the State should paste this article from the American in his hat. It reads as follows: All legislation with respect to the roads of this State will continue to re- suit in nothing until the fact in appre- elated that all the work and monev appropriated to the construction of roads must be, lost until a system of finishing roads when once commenced is adopted. When a road is once properly finished the cost of keeping it in repair is slight. On the other Juind, all roads imperfectly finished are necessarily soon destroyed. Tho present system pours money and la- or into gullies to be poured out at the next Hood. Enough has been thrown away on roads in this State under the existing system to haw niade every road in the State pt ifect. And until the finishing system Issnb- tituted the waste must go on and that, too, without even tolerable roads. "'I'he remedy is plain. All that is put in the roads must be saved bv finishing them as they are construct- d. The supposed difficulty in the v ay is that t lie claims of all are equal iitd the finishing system favors some iralitit-sat the expense of others Vhile thi-i diP.icultv exi.-ts tho waste fall the monev and labor emit l-ihnt . -I to im perfect work is no remedy -r it. Tho present system certainly Maintains equality, but that equality paid for at a great price and still the public left without the conven ience of good roads. I5y concentrat ing instead of diffusing its work, by making roads instead of patching holes, by doing a little at a time and doing it well every county could, in a comparatively short time, make every road a permanently good road and all could be kept in good order at little cost. There will be a practi cal difficulty as we suggested, in put ting this plan into operation, on ac- Coul't of the natural rivalry and jeal ousies of localities; but if once allow ed to do its perfect work it seems to us the surest and cheapest plan of securing an ideal system of public roads." A beautiful thought is a men1'! sunbeam. Every tisrsue of the body, every bone, muscle and organ, is made stronger and more healthful by the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Bridges. The first bridges were of wood, and the earliest of which we have any ac count was built in Home, 500 II. C. The next was built by Julius Ctcsar, for the passage of his army across the Rhine. Trojan's great bridge over the Danube, 1,770 feet long, was made of timber with stone piers. The Ro mans also built the first bridge whol ly composed of stone, that which was thrown across the Tiber in the first or second century A. P. Suspension bridges are of remote antiquity. One in China, mentioned by Kircher, was made of chains supporting a roadway ofSoOfeet in length. It was in the year G5 A. P., and is still to be seen. The first large iron bridge was erected over the Severn in 1777. The age of railways has brought about a remark able era in this branch of engineering, especially in the. construction of bridges of iron and steel. The Spring Medicine. The popularity which Hood's Sar saparilla has gained as a spring med icine is wonderful. It possesses just those elements of h e a 1 1 h-g i v i n g. blood-purifying and appetite-restoring which everybody seems to need at this season.
