Matthew Stanley Quay, Senator from Pennsylvania, lojt his seat in the Senate last week by a vote of 33 to 32. He and John Wanamaker had such a c'o?e contest lor the penaforship they tied the Legislature of Pennsylvania and it adjourned by limitation before an election was made. The Governor of Pennsylvania appointed Quay, an'l the matter has been teited in the Senate as to whether or not the Governor oi a State has a right to appoint a Senator under s;ich circunmances. A Gov ernor bus the right to appoint in case o! the death or resignation of a Sena tor ; but the shutting out of Quay settles the question that a Governor cannot appoint when the Legislature fails to do its duty, as in the caee oi Quay. The Commonwealth has always ad vised farmers to plant good corn acre age as the basic source oi home inde pendence. In this region for tho past few years they have made more home supplies than they did a doren or fif teen years ago; but farmers here have never given much thought to corn as an export. Some of them, therefore, may be surprised at the statement that the United States now sends to foreign countries more than two hundred mil lion bushels of corn. At 25 cents per bushel this would mean that the ex port alone brings fifty million dollars to this country from other countries. It is said that this is perhaps one of the largest items in the world's inter national provision trade. One of th9 greatest iailures ot the Southern people is the matter of sav ing small things. The New Englander who boasteu thai when Le kiiied a pig his family ate all of the pig but the squeal, threw out a hint of great value to all who will heed it. The South truly is a land of plenty, and for the most part people here waste enough to go a good way towards making their Hying. And now that spring time has come again The Commonwealth re news its annual suggestions about utilizing every foot of available ground about the premises. Many a small farmer has a bare arid uninviting table because he fails to make a note of small things at the proper time. The fence corners in many places might be made to produce early radish, squash, cucumbers and the like, which would go a long way towards jeupply- ing the table through the spring and summer. Secretary T. K. Bruner, of our State Board of Agriculture, is in Par.s look ing after North Carolina's interest at the great Exposition just opened there. He is efficient in the highest degree and will fully protect North Carolina's interest. News hes come that while walking in the "Palace of Agriculture" he discovered some workmen putting up the first pictnre in the building, a co'ored photograph 4x5 ieet. It was being labeled "A California Mountain View," but he discovered that it was a valley river view from Western North Carolina. Mr. Bruner, of course, at once protected against California being credited with tre beauty of North Carolina scennry, and being corrobo rated by some one else who also knew, the photograph was properly labeled. 3o much for having a man in charge of an interest who knows his business. North Carolina stands second in qual ity and quantity and diversity of natural display. California is first. DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?

It had long been known that any continued prevalence of malarial fever was attended by the occurrence of ex tensive changes, apparently of a de generative character, in the physical condition of the blood, and these changes, says the London Times, when they were made the subjects of investi galion by the aid ot modern micro scopes, were traced to the pretence of parasites as invariable concomitants of the disease. Blood owes its color to the presence of ' In numerable minute bodies called its red corpuscles, bodies so minute and so numerous that a single cubic miiimetre of blood contains an average of about five millions of them, and it was within these corpuscles that the parasites were discovered. Malarial fevers are characterized by the definite exacerbations and intermissions, and it soon became apparent that these were severally coincident, in point of time, with successive stages of the life his tory of the parasite, each attaek of fever denoting the batching of a new brood, and presenting the successive stages of shivering, cf heat, and of sweating, coincidentally with their growth and development, at the con clusion of which each corpuscle which had been invaded by them perished, and its functions gs a carrier of oxygen to the tissues was abolished. Unlike the now familiar vegetable parasites collectively called microbes, by which so many other diseasps are occasioned, the parasite ot malaria be longs to the animal kingdom, but, like the microbes, its numbers in crease with amazing rapidity. Until they reach to a considerable amount, the parasite woald not be productive of serious symptoms, but by the time that an attack of fever is fairly estab lished j these numbers often amount to something like 250,000.000, and thence would range upward to 1,000,000,000. It had leug been known that quinine was the most potent of all remedies for ague, tnd its administration at all sorts of times and in all sorts of doses had gradually led fo the experimental determination of the conditions of its greatest efficacy, but prior to the dis covery of the parasite, it was regarded as. being essentially "anti-periodic" in its effects tbat is to say, as exerting rythmical recurrence of morbid pneu monia. The discovery of the parasite led to the further discovery that quin ine cured ague simply by poisoning the parasite, and that it was most effective for this purpose when given in such doses and in such a way as to bs present in trie blood In sufficient quantity during a certain period oi their growth. But it seldom killed tjm a'l, and more usually left a few individuals, perhaps more or less lan guishing, but still living and repro ducing their kind, and capable of giv ing rise to a fresh attack of fever, even after the lapse of many months. The next stage in the investigation was to ascertain through what channel the malaria parasite became introduced into tbe human body ; and Dr. Patrick Manson, who had previously traced another form of infection to the mos quito, was, we believe, the first to sug-. gest tbat this insect was : tbe most probable delinquent. The investiga tion of Major Ross, to whose letter claiming priority we were glad to give insertion Wednesday, finally establish ed the correctness of the hypothesis The particular mosquito concerned is of the species known to naturalists as Anopheles, and the eyiderce of the' crime is complete. He, or rather she, for tbe ladies ot the family are. the sole j offenders, la furnished with salivary glands which secrete the poison which she injects into her bites. A female may bs hatched from a captured larva and fed for tbe first time oy being per mitted to bite a man suffering from fever. She will ewaliow one or more of the parasites or their spores as part of her meal, and, it kept in confinement, their life within her body may be ob served 'Ibey ultimately find their way from ber stomach' to her salivary glands which secrete poison with the poison into the blood of the next vic tim wbora she may select or maj be furnished with. The process can be watched from beginning to end, and it constitutes a chain, of morbid action of the most interesting and curious character, which at the same time completely clears up the whole ques tion of the nature and causation of the. fever. ------ AM speculation about air, abont soil, Tti one Day Cold Cure ' - - ' For cold in the bead and sore tk newt tf Je Kcr. mott's CUocoUtM MStattre Qnfad m, tk& h Om Dj ColdTcare." - - about "malarial belts," and the like haye been rendered obsolete. There is no reason to believe that the parasite finds access to the human body through any other channel, or that the "gnats" or "mosquitoes" which infest regions free from malaria are examples of Ap opbeles. If this particular insect could be extirpated, there Is every rea son to hope tbat malarious fevers would disappear from the earth ; and, fortunately, the extirpation does not eeem likely to present any insurmount able difficulty. The eggs are laid in water, and tbe. larvae, when hatched, live in water for ab)ut a week before tbay assume the mosquito form. As larvae, like those of the common gnat, they rise to the sufrace of tbe water to breathe ; and a film o? oil on this sur face is speedily fatal to them, by block log up their air spirailes The fullv formed mosquito lives for many weeks but is not presumed to travel far, and probably always obtains its food within easy reach ol its native pool of water, to which it periodically returns for the purpose ot depositing its eggs. Much may be dona therefore by dry ing up the pools in the vicinity of houses, or by treating them once a week witn a film of kerosene oil. Much may be done also by killing tbe ma ture insect when resting upon a wall after its meal ; and it is to be noted that the true Anopheles rests with its body almost at right angles to the sur face of the wall, while the absolutely or comparatively harmless gnat rests with its body parallel to tbe wall, or even somewhat inclining towards it. The little book: or pamphlet to which we refer contains instructions for iden tifying and destroying the Anopheles, bjth in its adult and in its larval form?, and also for rendering babita tions in the tropics as safe as may be possible against its incursions. The whole of tbe few pages of which it con sists are written with admirable brevity and clearness, and should enable Englishmen, armed in complete pano ply of knowledge, to preserve their health in regions which have proved only too fatal to many generations of their predecessors. Salt as a Li&restorsr. New Orleans Times-Democrat. A couple of late workers had just despatched a sma' hour supper in a res taurant when a predatory fly, which had been swooping hungrily about the table, brought up in a finger bowl "Now watch me," said one of the pair, "and I'll perform an interesting exper Iment. To begin, with, 1 am going to drown that fly." ' Ob, don't kill him," exclaimed the other, touched by the same spirit, of mercy tbat animated Uncl3 Toby ; "take him out and let bim go I am only going to kill bim temporarily," replied the first speaker, and taking up the sliver of a match he proceeded to force the fly under the water and hold him tnere, despite his frantic squirming. Pres ently the struggles of tbe insect be came feebler, and at last tbe delicate legs ceased to flutter and were drawn convulsively against the body. To all appearances the fly was stone dead. The experimenter lifted him out of the bowl and deposited him carefully upon the tablecloth. He turned him oyer and over with the sliyer of wood, but there was no signs of life. "Now comes the resuscitation," and poured a heaping teaspoon f ul salt over the inert insect, burying him from sight. "It will take some little time," he continued; "possibly ten minutes, but I feel cer tain enough of the result to wager tbe price ot our supper tbat tbe fly comes to life." "I'll go you' .said the other ; tbat fly is as dead as Cav-ar." Both pulled out their watches and eight minutes had ticked away when tbeie was a slight stir in tbe salt, heap and outwalked the fly, as good as ever. He preened himself briskly, shook his wings and soared off into space. "1 can't explain it," saidtbe man who iried the experiment, "but I've never known the "thing to fail. It would haye made no difference if I bad sub merged the fly half an hour ; fce would have come around just tne same when buried in the salt." CUttTfcnLtf ALL ELSE FAILS. tVmo-h Svnin. Taates Good.

Marry, Happily if You Can, But Anyway, liarry. Winfred Black in The New York Journal. Is marriage a bar to professional success for n ambitious man or wo man? No. Nothing is a bar to a man or woman who has any real genius for any real thing. ;V fence is simply something' to jump oyer when there's something worth getting on the other side of the ; ed by marriage never had any raal sue- cess in him. He's like the man whose friends tel. you that.he ;s nobody's en- emy but his own, for tbe very good, reason tbat be is worthless to create cr hokl even such & small quality as hate. We've all met the genius who would astonish the world if he could only get rid of an unfortunate predilection -for stimulants. The man whose genius can be ob scured by the popping of a cork either has an abnormally developed fense of hearing or else his genius-is of a fragile order little suited to this rough world jfstre.8and strain. The man whose success in life Is marred by marriage would have found something else to mar it if he had remained single all his days. Marriage is not tbe end and aim of existence. It is a side issue, a very important and very engrossing affair, to be sure, but still, not the only affair in life. Marry by all means, happly if you can, unhappily if you must, and go on and make your life what it must bs afterward. At least you have tried to do the normal thing. If it turns out badly make the best of it. If you are worth your salt the misery you undergo will help and not harm the development of your especial talent. Success! What it success? Who finds success" The man who puts his soul into his work. And no man, be he great or small, wise or simple, finds his soul until he marries. Oh, yes, I know the type of man we all know the man held down by a small-spirited wile, fagged and tortured and driven half mad by her petty tyranny. That will not injure bfiT art. If he meets bis misery like a man it will make a man of bim, and it takes a man to do a man's work in this world take any profession you please as a tool. Who knowS how much Xantippe had to do with the philosophy which made Socrates famous? A happy marriage is a beautiful setting to anv life ; an unhappy marriage is a poor setting. Neither of them can perman ently effect the real gem of character or attainment in itself. Women ! Is marriage a bar to professional success with them ? It is not. It is help to succcfs. The woman who never loved a man well eildugb to throw the whole world aside as a foolish bubble1 tor his sake is only half a woman. The woman who never held against ber heart the c hud of the man si e loves is but a foolish infant, prattling of things she wot3xnot of, beside the IS A QUESTIO CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES.
