While few are justified in attempting ' to treat a horse that is really sick, yet every farmer ought to be able to do ‘ something for a sick animal till pro- fessional help can be obtained. In proper feeding produces much digestive l' sickness in horses. Now. a horse with an acute attack \ of indigestion is in the utmost need of "veterinary help. There is not much ’ use of pouring medicine into the stom- : ach. As that organ is in a deranged . -... ,â€" - “as..- ._... condition. no assimilation of anything . put into the stomach takes place, and . l'onsequently no action is obtained by administering drugs through the amouth. The injection of concentrated medl- '*rtues under the skin is the only ra- tional way of treating such cases. No ' ordinary farmer has either the instruo ments or skill to do this. But the sick animal should be placed in a roomy box stall plentifully supplied with bedding. and a careful man shouldbe .with him to prevent, as far as possible, the patient from injuring itself when the pains are very intense. Many a horse suffering great pain ‘ has thrown itself down violently on a hard floor and ruptured the stomach “(which has been distended with gas), 3 use. thus destroyed whatever chance " therei'émight have been of successful treatment.

This is usually easily . done. as the animal is in almost every rcase lying down and in many cases ~ lying on his back. Much can be done in this way to keep the patient from injuring itself till veterinary help can be secured. v Horses suffer more from pulmonary r diseases in the winter than in the sum- .mer. because the stables are not in gmany cases ventilated sufficiently. Poor ' ventilation predisposes to lung trouble, '2 and many a simple cough or cold de‘ velops into inflammation. of the lungs just because the afflicted animal is Standing in a poorly ventilated stable.

" THE CZAR’S LEAVINGS. A Doubtful Honor That Was Rejected by a Pollsh Girl. In Russia royalty is so revered that to the loyal subject it seems a great honor to follow the czar. The govern- ory. at leastâ€"and the emperor must supervise as well as patronize the schools. At the Eater festival the pu- pils are treated with especial favor. Young girls of the upper classes of the Imperial Girls' school are driven In a long-procession through the streets in the imperial carriages. The pleasure for them is only that of being allowed to take a drive In a stylish court car- riage. with coachmau and footmun in the imperial livery. There is nothing special to be seen. K The theory of this is that the our stands in a sort of higher parental re- lation to all these children. When he once a year visits one of these schools -â€"to which only the children of the nobility are admittedâ€"4t is a custom that as a sign of his favor he drops his pocket handkerchief. and the girls all scramble for it. tearing it In pieces. so that each one can get a fragment. He takes the most brilliant girl to the table and tastes of the food of the p institution. It is valued as the highest distinction when he gives one of the girls his plate with what is left upon it. It is the custom and usage for her to eat it with delight shown in all her features. Great was the astonishment of Alexander II. when a young girl. a Pole. whom the czar had taken to the table, as being the most distinguished scholar of the Institute and to whom he had passed what was left of his - meat and potatoes. nodded to a servant and calmly gave him the exam plate to take away. An Unfalr Attack. Pietro was working with a guns at railroad construction. He had been ; told to beware of rattlesnakes, but as- ' sured that they would always give the warning rattle before striking. One hot day he was eating his noon luncheon on a pine log when he saw a big rattler coiled a few feet In from: of him. He eyed the serpent and be- gan to lift his legs ovor the log. Ho had barely got them out of the way when the snake's fangs bit the burl: ‘ beneath him. “Son of a guual” yelled Pietro. “Why you no rings da hour-Every: body’s. Forgot Once In AthIo.

Some presumptuous Frenchmen pub- lished a list of commandments for wives, one of which ran: “Now and then acknowledged gracefully that thy husband knows more about some things than thou. After all. thou art not infallible." A second and still more daring rule for wives was. “Never be husband, but always consider him as superior to thee.” This was too much for French feminists, and no wonder. One lady answers the presumptuous man indignantly: . The weaker sex has not merely du- ties; it has also-rights. Feminism is advancing. and nothing will stop it. The weaker sex is the equal of the sterner. Eduality forever! Here are the commandments which women op pose to those of men. The lady then glVes her rules for husbands with more spirit than logic: Woman has a right to have whims: it is a privilege of her sex. Never put her out. She might have hysterlcs, which would impair her health and cost the money in doctor's bills. Another commandment runs: Remember, good man. that thy wife is thy superior by her grace. her beau- ty and refinement. Therefore always worship at her feet. Where, then good lady. does “equal- ity forever" come in, if woman not only has privilege because she is a woman. but is decidedly superior to man? Surely. the strong minded suffraglst Would spurn privileges of sex. In an- other rule the lady seems to show some sly knowledge of her sisters. If. good man. thou desirest mountain air ask thy wife to come to the sea- side; she will immediately propose a holiday in Switzerland. But this is a very mild glbo at her own sex compared with her final thrust at the other in her last rule for husbands: Man was created before woman as a preliminary sketch for the master- piece. Remember, then. 0 husband, that thou art but a rough draft. This ought to shut any husband up finally.-â€"Paris Cor. London Telegraph. TRAVELERS’ TALES. Some That Were Discrodited and Vin- dicatod Long Afterward. Travelers’ tales have often been ac- cused of being mere flights of imagi- nation. and in the past stay at home people have sometimes erred in treatâ€" ing travelers’ tales with scorn. There was. for' instance, the description by James Bruce in 1770 of the barbarous Abyssinian custom of eating raw meat cut from the living animal, which was ridiculed by everybody. Yet Bruce has even recently been proved right. When Paul Du Chailluexplored equatorial Af- rica in 1861 and described the wonder- ful gorillas and also the nation of dwarfs there he was discredited none too politely by the British Royal Geo-, ’ graphical society. Yet subsequent ex- plorers amply vindicated his veracity. In the matter of discredited travel- ers' tales vindicated long afterward it will never be possible to beat the classic instance in Herodotus. He tells how King Neco of Egypt com- ' missioned certain Phoenician mariners to circumnavigate Africa if they could. They did it, starting from the Red sea . and returning by the straits of Gibralâ€" l tar after very many months. And they reported, says Herodotus, that in rounding the southern end of Africa they had the sun on their right hand. “I, for my part.” he says. “do not be- lieve this. but perhaps others may.” I In modern times that detail is pre- cisely what proves that the Phoeni- I cians did achieve the wonderful voy- i age. Such an “improbable” fact could never have been invented in an age which was not familiar with the outla- tor.-Chicago News. l l . ..-...._..,._,- ..::_-.-.--.~.2. . .3 Que 3, Of the 01d rigs.
