An sccount of a double lynching in the village of Colfax, county of Whitman, and‘state of Washington, has just been published which seems to point out a ~new path of municipal and economical . reform, says the New York Times. It appoars that there were in the Common jail of Colfax two prisoners who were believed to have comâ€" mittdd Mmurder. Against one of them a jury had found a verdict of simple assault, and he had been condemned to imprisonment fortwo years, but, as he had taken an apâ€" peal, he was imprisoned in the county jail and not in the state prison, . The other:â€"was on trial for a murder committed last Octoâ€" ber;and the jury was actually locked up and considering the case when the lynchers interfered. s % < the man on trial) seems~to have suffered mainly bécause, being in theâ€"same jail, it was handy to hang him at the same time. At any rate, they were both hanged, and the juror‘s in Parker‘s case looked out of the windows of the juryâ€"room and saw the reeult of its deliberations anticipated or nullified, as the case may be. â€"‘The lynchers seem to have formed a kind of taxâ€"reform association, _ There was nothing about either orime to arouse Spread Abroad by Dolls. Fashions in dress, in early times were spread abroad, not as now, by printed periodicals,.but by dolls sent ont at regulap, intervals, so that the duchess, in her dis, tant chateau in Britanny, or the wife of the Palatine, perched upon, her rock above the Neckar vale, might know how her sisters appeared in the grand central courta of Paris and Burgundy. Venice, the connecting link between eastérn commerce and western splendor, annually imported a Parisian doll, which was exhibited under the arcades of the Merceria at the end of the plazza of San Marco,that all might know the ‘"toilette of the year." ‘Why were the lonely dwellers in mediaeval strongholds and the denizens of the walled cities eager to see these dolls ! _ Because then, as in far older times, the "virtuous woman laid her hands to the -Juindle, and her hands held the distaf.

It is not highly contagious, but is liable to spread under certain conditions. When once established it is incurable. ‘The best authorities advise the immediate slaughter and burial of all animals proved to be mffected by ‘it. ‘The milk from‘ a cow affiicted with this disease is wholly UNFIT FOB MUMAN FOOD. The cause of tuberculosis is exposure to unwholesome influences, andâ€"it might soon be stamped out if dairymen and ‘stook» breeders could be made to obey sanitary laws. ‘The Country Gentleman says:â€" ‘*This disease sppears in herds kept at extremes, one being.the herd kept by the ‘skinflint,‘ the lowâ€"bred, stingy wretch who, having milked his cows all summer, seeks to get them through the winter with» out cost either for food or care, thus literâ€" ally starving â€"and freezing them to death, They become so run down and emaciated that they are aneasy prey to the discase. They contract colds from exposure to in« clement weather and .wm;.;ui““ as m human being doés, and these l to conâ€" sumption. 'Fho other extreme is that fillen ‘into by the greedy man, who seeks <to squeeze every drop of milk from his herd he can possibly get. What he is after is money, and he cares for nothing else, . He stops every crack and crevice in his barns aud stables, thus shutting out every breath of pure air and forcing the cows to breath over and over again the vitiated atmasâ€" phere till it becomes charged with carbonic and inâ€"breeding are predisposing causes of this discase. “fl kl:bqan very prevalent acid gas, thus developing the disease," ue \â€" ‘T00 IGH BREEDING this disease. It has been nr‘y' prevalent among theâ€" .amr"uu_-m~ n England, and animals that are pampered for exhibiâ€" tion purposes are particularly liable to it. The poim.w'luv noticed suggest their own leasons. arm stabling should be providâ€" ed for dairy cows. They neéd plenty of light, bountiful supplies of pure air, and room to be comfortable, When the weather is unpleasant and stormy the cow should be hrt housed, whether it be in January or July. _ In winter, when the weather is sunâ€" ny and pleasant, she should be given an hour in the open air each dnz.v Clearly this is a preéventable disease, and the meane of â€"prevention are put in operation when the laws of health are observed, the results being the same in relation both to human beings and the lower animals. 2 is During the yeir 18908 the State of New York beoame notorious for the trenlono- of this diseaso among its dairy herds, and also for the vigorous efforts made by the State Board of fi..m. to stamp it out. The report of this body, recently issued, shows that on investigation it was found that the disease prevailed to a greater or less exâ€" tont femi About 20,50“%:-1‘ were examined by. three inspectors, and 959 ‘were found to be tuberculous. . The diseased animals â€"were slaughtered atâ€"an‘ expense to the state of $13,309. The inspection was carried on by means of the tuberculin test, which has proved a most conclusive: one for the purâ€" pose. As much has been said in the news« papers aboutâ€"the. use of this tessâ€"at the model and experithéntal farms, it may be as_ well to give some account of it, so that it may : be understood <by the intelligent reader. In 1882, Professor Koch, of Germany, announced the discovery of the germ of tuberculosis in the form of a tiny animaloule, oneâ€"thousandthâ€"of an inch in lon,th. This germ pésses from the diseased animal in its sputum(the npcwnkuoxn‘lfo? Jn lungs) as the lung, lflocfinf only the adjacent parts. . Ite pro‘l;:l s then slow, and the symptoms are obscure; but if, introduced into the blood,.the bacilli multiply fast, are distributed over thewho body, and proâ€" duce aoute tuberculosis, or “lniok conâ€" sumption," ending fataily in a short time. ’hhu-f&h::-n.

Glgcoriu and carâ€" bolic acid are added, the . fluid filtered through porous porcelain, to separate the germs, n':iot-h-n Knhd to 158 F., to donrox any ramiui-! germs. The sterilised flui is evaporated at a low temperature iu vacuum, and when sufficiently concentrai is put up in bottles. In use it is ‘“.:3 diluted, and a smali quantity is injec with a hypodermic syringe under theâ€"skiz of the animal The temperature of the animal is then taken at intervals of soveral hours, and any serâ€" ious rise above the normal temperature. is regarded as indicating the presence of the disease. Tuberculin will not produce the disease in healthy animals, but it increases the activity of the germs wherever the disâ€" ease is present, and hence is of the highest value as a test of tubsroulosis in animals. In Rurope much attention has been ginn to the subject, :rehlly in Great titain where tuberculosis is very prevaâ€" dent. Of cows staughtered in London in 1892, 25 per cent. were tuberculous, in Midlothian 20 mt, in Yorkshire 22.8 per cent. in 18.7 per cent.
