Turkish Horse Doctors.

The following paragraph, copied from
Meals Syria, Palestine and Asia Misor,'
gives an instance of the skill of the Turk
isb veterinarians:
In Acre there is plentiful supply Of
Turkish veterinaria surgeons, and about
the most curious sight ever witnessed
was horse under treatment by these
practitioners. First, they threw it on the
ground, by tying its fore feet or hoofs tos
gether so closely that it became as help
less as an infant; then tight bandage
;yas placed over the nose and mouth, only
leaving sufficient space for the animal to
breathe. A Turkish pipe, containing to>
bacco, bang, hashing, curcus, and other
narcotics, was inserted in one of the nos~
trils, and spark being placed upon the
bowl, the horse Immediately as it were
involuntariIy, inhaled the supplying
smoke, which had the effect, after short
period, of rendering it unconscious Of
what was going on. Then the skill of
the surgeon was brought into play, and the
fetlock of the poor brute being laid open,
a perfect hive Of worms, deposited by a
fly common in some parts of the desert
between Damascus and Bagdad, was duly
extracted. The wound was closed up
with pitch, sticking plaster, and the bands
being unloosed, buckets of cold water
were thrown over the horse, which quickly
revived. The foot was now placed in a
sling, and in few days Afterwards, so eff
fective had been the operation, the horse
was fit to pursue his daily ayocation,

A Wife'S Power,

The power of wife for good or
evil is irresistible. Home is the seat
of happiness, or it must be unknown
forever. A good wife is to man,
wisdom and courage, and strength and
endurance. A bad one is confusion,
weakness, discontinue, and despair.
No condition is hopeless where the
wife possesses decision and economy.
There is no outward prosperity which
can ncounteract indolence, extravigance
and folly at home. No spirit can en-
dure bad domestic influence. Man IS
strong, but his heart is not adamant.
He delights in enterprise and action;
but to sustain him he needs a tranquil
mind and a whole heart. He needs
his moral force in the conflicts of the
world. To recover his equanimity
and composure, he must have peace
cheerfulness, comfort; and his soul res
news It's strength again, and goes forth
with fresh vigor to encounter the labor
and troubles of life. But if at home
he finds no rest, and there is met with
bad temper, sullenness or G loom, or is
assailed by discomfort or complaint,
hope vanishes and he sinks into des-
pair.
The ability of the wife depends, it
is true, much upon the temper Of the
husband, but in his widest moods, his
gloomiest hours, her smile, her gentle
touch, her voice attuned to softest ca~
dence will sooth his irritated spirit, de-
spite the clouds Of gloom which hang
over him, and home will seem light
with sunshine, gliding every object
with beautiful hues. How, then, he
blesses the angel whose influence de-
stroyed the evil spirit that had taken
possession of his soul, and goes forth
again to battle with the world, con-
scious of renewed strength. Few
wives seem to understand the danger
they incur, by meeting a returning
husband with coldness, or catchingand
rejecting the moody spirit he may
bring over his own Threshold. Dark
as may be his prospects-strong as
may be his tcmptations-desperate as
may be his situation, home is to him a
place associated with happiness-a
retreat where he may become refresh~
ed, and re-armed for new struggles,
until the fact has once taken possess
sion of his mind that he has no inter
est in the hearts that beat about his
own tireside. Then the die is often
cast, and his destiny sealed. Ruin
may be inscribed as his epitaph, and
in his ruin he brings down the whole
household.
