This is true of the entire winter region of 111. inoig. Ile therefore urgently advises that the stubble be barned at the earliest date possible, or that, where this is im- practicable, the infested fields be plongh- ed deeply and rolled. ep ————— The New York larld is responsible for the following; Reform Republican t cket for 1881 —For President —Stephen W.

Plat. form — More Star Routes and moon-struck juries, a (ilanders has become epidemic among Illinois horses, The State Veterinarian reports that gianders is prevalent among the horses in nineteen counties. He claims to have been prevented from kill- ing the animals afflicted, the attorneys of the owners contending that he could on- ly resort to this measure alter the Gov ernor had issued a proclamation declar- ing the glanders epidemic. The Attcr- ney General is now expected to give an opinion as to the powers of State Veter- inarian under the State laws, Thurlow Weed as a Business Man. The property left by Thurlow Weed is estimated to be worth from $1,000,- 000 to $2,000,000. Only a small por- tion of it consisted of real estate. The bulk of his estate is in first-class rail road securities, although he owned con- siderable amounts of bank stocks, city railroad stocks, ete. His fortune was largely derived from the accretions of invested capital. A prominent Wall street man, familiar to a large degree with Mr. Weed's business affairs, said: *“It was not until he had reached tho age of 50 that Mr. Weed scemed to real- ize the value of money. Before that time he was almost indifferent on the subject of money making. His fortune was accumulated after he had passed the .time when a man usually takes a keen interest in the question of better- ing his financial condition. I should say that when Mr. Weed died his in. come had been ranging at about $70,000 a year. I consider a man’s income to be the best test of what he is worth, and I, therefore, prefer to use that fig. ure rather than to estimate what the principal of this property is. His es- tate is-of a character that can readily be converted into cash. Mr. Weed made his fortune by wise and careful investments and the reinvestment of their accrued profits. When his income was, say, $40,000 a year, he would spend only $20,000, and would put the remainder into prime securities. His estate consists principally of first-rate railroad mortgage bonds. He owned to some extent railroad stocks. He held no ‘cats and dogs,’ though, as we say on the street. He never was any- thing of a speculator, and he did not make his money by any bold or fore tunate stroke. What he bought he al- ways paid for, taking it as a matter of investment.” en = ms Mistress (to applicant for cook's po sition): “Why did you leave your last place?’ Applicant: “You're very ine auisitive, marm.

A few days after he re ceived archearsal card headed “supers.” It informed him that the play selected was “The Ticket of Leave Man; in the first act he would appear “a guest’ in the fourth “a navvy,” and afterwards as “‘a detective.” In these the ‘“‘make~ up” (the make-up’s the thing) was ac complished. The night came, the piece was a ‘success; but what puzzled him was, that whenever he trod the stage although only a “super” without a line, his entrance was the signal for loud and continued laughter, At supper he bor- rowed the programme, and he then formed his conclusions. It read: “Su ers—first act; a guest—Maj. B— (his first appearance). Fourth act: ‘A navvy,’ Maj. Blank (his second appear- ance).

The other night a Steubenville man coming home with his wife discovered his property scattered over the floor and the burglar looking out of the win- dow. He procured his gun without arousing the burglar’s suspicions, took aim and fired. The burglar fell to the floor. The householder approached the prostrate figure, and to his astonish- ment found that it was only a bolster rigged up in his own Sunday clothes. Having left his brother in the house he at once recognized the author of the practical joke. He took the figure and stood it up by the front door, so that when his brother entered it fell forward upon him. The latter began calling, “police, “fire,” “murder,” and brought out the neighbors, who aided him in securing the burglar. On discovering the character of the intruder he decided to retire from the business of making practical jokes. sD WB AI—————— A Novice in Photographic Posing. Discussing the subjectof photographs of stage celebrities, a Philadelphia art- ist said to a reporter of the Press: “1 was telling you about our leaving the position to the tastes of the ladies them- selves, The other day we had rather an amusing instance of posing. Mille. Asteggiano,the premiere danseuse, gave us some sittings. One of her dresses was the costume she wears in the ballet of nations. She could not speak n word of English, and as there were no linguists in the establishment we had great difficulty in conversing. She came out of the dressing-room with a hop, skip, and a jump, and pirouetted in front of the camera. The artist tried to explain to her that she was too near, but she did not understand, and im- mediately began a mazouka movement with lightning rapidity all over the stu- dio. In and out the chairs, around the camera-stand, up and down the room, went the nimble dancer in every possi- ble attitude of grace except that of re- pose, but a photograph was not feasi- le. Finally we sent for an interpreter, and while waiting the advent of that person the ballet queen continued her dancing, looking at the artist from time to time with a puzzled and impatient expression. Talk about a pas de seul, what I witnessed that day was themost wonderful exhibition of leg-agility you ever imagined. Finally the interpreter arrived, and Mlle. Asteggiano paused for breath. “Is it finished? she asked in Italian; ‘I am tired.” On it being ex- plained to her that she was expected to remain still for a few minutes she laughed very heartily. ‘Dear me!” she exclaimed, ‘here I bave been perform- ing a complete ballet in front of the camera, under the idea that all my movements were being instantaneously photographed. However, I am ready now.” She gave a bound in the air and landed on the tip of the big toe of the right foot, 4 remained motionless for over half a minute while the picture was being taken. *Mlle. Rhea's cartes have many ad- mirers, She was photographed here in the magnificent dress she wears as Ad- rienne. Her costume cost $10,000, and was presented to her by a French duke of enormous wealth. It is entirely com- posed of shades of red satin in light sud dark (shades, hand-embroidered with flowers. Round her waist; she had on a girdle of gems which she told me was worth $30,000." ~— Both parties will soon have their nominees in the fleld, and the came paign will be opened in our state.

The influence of the soil upon tha health of those living upon I, is brought out very plainly daring the prevalence of epidemic diseases. That malarial diseases (hike ins termittent fevers) originate from the soil, is already excepted ; and recent investiga. lions show preity conclusively that the germs of Cholers, Abdominal Typhus, Yellow Fever, and the plagte are in some way connected with the soil, which is daily corroborated by letters from all parts of the country, stating marvelous efs fects of Peruna on those diseases, and in their own convalscent state.
