SYMPTOMS OE^'TOIEYK" CONTAGIOUS SOB.E EYES IN CATTLE. The Disease Is Now Quite Com- mon. â€" How It May Be Prevented. "There exists each Bummer In the United States and Canada a conta- gious iuflaiumation of the eyes among cattle that is popularly called "pinkeye" from the red and inflam- ed appearance of the eye. The dis- ease is quite widely disti'ibuted, aud while it occurs at all seasons of the year, it is most frequently observed during the summer months while cattle are on pasture, as dust and pollen from plants increase the ir- ritation of the eye. The disease was first ob.served by the writer iii this State," says N. S. Mayo, of the Kansas K.xperiniental Station. "But since that time has spread rapidly, and is now quite common. The dis- ease seems to attack young cattle rather than old, but cattle of all ages will take it, and it seems to affect old cattle more severely than calves, it does not allect other ani- mals than cattlu- THE CAUSE OF THE DISEASE has not been discovered, although it is believed to be due to a germ. The manner in which the disease is spread from one animal to another is little understood, although flies are believed to play an important part. The disease, however, spreads during the winter when there are no flies about. Direct contact teems to be a means of spreading the dis- ea.se. They undoubtedly aggravate it, but the disease must be intro- duced into a locality by an infected animal . The first symptom usually noticed is a I refuse discharge of tears from one eye, running down over the face. Dus-t and dirt often adhere to the moist hair and a dirty streak is observed, especially- in white faced cattle, e.xtending from the inner corner of the eye downward across the face. The disease usually begins in one eye and later attacks the other eye. In some cases both eyes may be attacked at the same time. Associated with the discharge of tears is a swelling of the eyelids which are nearly closed, partly from the swelling, but principally to keep the light from the eye. as b^right light seems to increase the pain. 'The front part of the eyeball be- comes milky wlute in appearance. aud one spot usually red or copper colored. At this point an abcess or small gathering usually forms and looks to be a reddish fleshy mass. It b-reaks and discharges a small amount of pus or matter that es- capes with the tears. As the animal I'ecovers and the eye resumes its nor- mal condition, a white speck i-emains on the eyelid for some time us a scar showing where the abce.'« ex- isted. In a few cases this abcoss weakens the front of the eye to such an extent that it bursts and allows the contents of the anterior chamber of tie eye to escape. A FEW t)F THE CASES where the eye bursts will, heal aud the animal will recover the sight : but in the majority of cases the animal will be permanently blind in that eye. A few cases are reported where both eyes have burst and the animal was permanently blind in both eyes, lluring the acute stages of the tiiscase if both eyes arc alTect- ed at the same lime, the inUamnia- tion may be so severe as to cause a temporary blindness, the animal be- ing unable to see at all, and it is necessary to feed and water them to prevent them from falling aT.ay rapidly in lle:-h. If the aninuil has the disease in an acute form there is often some finer associated with it ; aud in praclicaib all cases the aniuiuls cease to rumiiuite, and stand about with ears loppeci and eyes closed exhibiting all signs of severe sullerinj;. Milch cows usually fall away in the* amount of milk secreted, or in .severe cases it may be stopped entirely, dwing to the closing of the eyos tugetiier with paiu, the anin:als rro not eat well, especially wiiilo in pnsturo, and as a resiilt fall away in flesh. Since pracncally no animals die of this disease ami only a few are perman- ently alVected as to sight, the great- est I0.SS is in the s!,rinkagc of flesh that follows the attack of the dis- ea.«e. If po.ssiblo the disease should he prevented by keeping infected niii- nials nway from the healthy. After the disease is once intro<lured amongst a bunch of cattle, by separ- ating and isolating the of^ectcd ani- mals us soon as the trst symptoms are shown, the DISEASE CAN" HE CHIX'KKI). It is not practicable to attempt to treat a largo number of animals un- less they should be esi>cciatly valu- able ot suffer from the disease in a severe form. When it is ativisable to treat an animal it should be placed in a darkened stable, the eyes thor- oughly* wnsbed with cold water, all ^secretions removed, and a solution of boric ncid, twenty grains dis- solved in an ounce of water, should be applied, A few drops of Harlem oil, or a little ointment made by miNiug one part or finely pulverized iodotorni. with twet\e parts of fresh lard or vaseline can be applied di- rectly to the eyohall. by putting it on the inside of the eyelid. and ftenlly rubbing it over the surface. Cloths wet with cold water and kept over the eyes are useful in re- ducing the inflammation. I'rartical- ly all aninuilf 1 uiko a goott recovery in from three to four weeks." I'. W. HOXXSOX.

It is a difficult thing to kill a city, and there are some well-known places that have bo much vitality that they will survive any numbor of disasters. Take Rome as a fir>»t ex- ample. No fewer thaa ten times has she been swept by pestilence. She has been burned twice, and Starved out on six occasions. Seven times sh» has been besieged or bombarde<l. But she still flourishes. Perhaps that ia why she is called the Eteinal City. Paris has had eight sieges, ten fam- ines, two plagues, and one fire which devaetated it. We make no reference to the number of revolu- tions, as they are too numerous to mention. But Paris still flourishes. Constantinople has been burned out nine times, and has suffered from four plagues and five sieges. There are some people who think that many of the Sultans have been as bad for the city as any pestilence. And yet she goes on. London be- gan as a kind of mound In a swamp. In her early history she was sacked, burned, and all her inhabitants butchered. She has been decimated by plague five times, e.xclusive of typhus, cholera, smallpox, and suclr maladies. She has been more or less burned seven times. She is thriving in spite of all. •nVE COSSACK'S WHIP. People wlio are unacquainted with Uussia. a.nd who read of stroef dis- turbances being !suj)pressod by tlie Cossacks with their whips, have lit- tle idea of what formidable weapons these are. Made of hard leather, and tapering to a fine point, they are triangular in shape, and the Cos- .sack who knows how to bring the edge down upon his victim can in- dict a wound Uluit is not infi'equent- ly fatal. A favorite stroke is one by which the eye and a portion of the chi-ek are cut. STRAI'J'GUNG is PLEASANT. One question often asked and which few living persons are able to an- swer is, ''What are the sensations of a man who Is being strangled with a rope? " Some of tlie few who liave lived to give an account of what occurred to them at that critical mo- ment say that after one instant of paiu I he chief sensation is that of a mass of biilliiuit colors before the eyes. Professor Houghton, who was one day testing for himself what such an experience would be like, lost his footing, tuid was accidental- ly discovered antl rescued just as the iast fiiint spark of life was about to I'-'ave the body. He de- clared afterwards that he felt no pain, aud that the only sensation was that of a fire befoi"e his eyes, which finally changed fi-om a bright blue to a black color. He said that he had no fear of the consequences, and that the colors were even a so.urc* of cxti'eme pleasure. 1 kvite: am eye single to tki; good op her 1-eli,0\v-msn she toiled. lie Story of Eliza E.

Of course they were very poor, but to-tlay, owing to their continued in- ; dustry, there is little if any real j poverty among them, and while money is yet very scarce, still tho majority have fairly comfortabla homes and always enough to eat. And it will not be very long now before they prove to tho outside world that they are good subjects: in fact, every bit as good as those that have come from any other country. From the very start they have been particularly anxious to learn English aud to adapt t'lem- .selvcs to Engli.'-h custoins. Bu'. now that they have shown that they are perfectly willing to Icoin English. tlioy would be very much p!ca.seU if the Government would assist them not to forget their own language. Up to the Ijresent time English is tho only language that is being taught in tho sx'hool.s that have been established. and the people would like their children to obtain at least a fair knowledge of the maternal tongue.
