LEATHER B1Ts FOR HORSES IN WIN
rER.-The fact that iron bits freeze in
winter all the moisture they come in
contact with, cannot be denied and
the painful fact that many faithful
animal has its mouth frozen in conse-
auence, is patent to all residents Of our
Northern cities. When subjected to a
certain low temperature, iron freezes
much more quickly than ice. Thus, a
horse in winter weather, in all cold eli
| mates, has his mouth frozen by contact
with the cold iron once or twice, some
times frequently through the same day,
each time causing the freezings to grow
deeper and deeper, to result in the end
in extensive liberation. With mouth
made sore from this cause, the poor
horse refuses to eat, and gradually
fails. ..-ta rs ..a.
We have known instances to occur in
this way when the veterinary doctor
had to be summoned, and the horses
complaint treated as bots, CHAMBERS,
horse all, etc, the poor animal mean
while being literally drugged to death
with drenches and boluses as large as
pigeons eggs. Fortunately for the poor
brute, his sufferings terminate very
soon, and he is carted off to horse hea-
ven, or some other such paradise place
where good horses 60. Many valuable
animal has been lost in this way, and
the verdict Of the sapient jury i'm
paneled to sit upon his equine, car
cass is generally that he came to his
death through one or other of the above
causes. .'
BY using leather or gutta percha bits
this trouble may be readily avoided
These bits are so constructed that the.
metal substance cannot touch the flesh.
They are durable, and cost only about
fifty cents each.-Ihrf and Farm.
THE CorToN TRADE AT MADRAs.-Ac-
cording to the Madras Standard, the ex-
ports of cotton in September last We're
1907 cwt, valued at 22,500 reals, while
the shipments in the corresponding
month last year were 33,910 cwt, valued
at 759,6O0 reals. The steamer Great
Victoria was the only vessel which sailed
from Madras in the past month for Lon
don. She took no cotton, but 276 bales
were sent to Hong Kong in the PENN
sular and Oriental steamer Rangoon on
the 23d ofSeptember. From Tinnivelly
1906 bales were exported, of which
about 1000 bales went to China, the
rest to London. From the Godavely
district about 5000 bales were exported
to London. The transactions in cotton
are next to nothing in Madras, prices
having fallen to 12S reals per candy, at
which rate 100 bales were bought on
Calcutta account.

SAssArRAs.-The american Grocer says ::
The oil of sassafras is obtained by distil-
ling the roots of the tree. They yield
from to 3 per cent. of oil. Oil of sassa-
fras, unlike most other oils, is heavier
than water, and of yellowish color, be-
coming reddish by age. 1t has pun
gent, agreeable, aromatic taste, and is
used incidentally. - For domestic uses
the root itself is more commonly en-
ployed. 1t is frequent article in the
composition of small-beer, and in some
sections the 9sassafax tea runs a sharp
competition with ''store tea" It forms
healthful beverage, especially in the
spring of the year. Much boiling should
always be avoided in the use of sassa-
fras, as the OF! might all evaporate. The
pith of the sassafras is sometimes used
as mucilage, but it is weak, and is
much less effective than the other gums.
Sassafras loses its properties by long
keeping.

THOMAS EWING:
WHO has lost the enormous sum of
Il billion of dollars? l answer, chiefly
the active business and laboring men Of
the land-the producers and cXchangcrs
Of all its value who are struggling to
better their condition by their labor and
credit A share of it has fallen on every
farmer who has been, at any time since
1867, in debt for his farm; every laborer
or mechanic in debt for his home; every
merchant or manufacturer whose stock
was carried,in whole or in parton credit
Who has gainel the billion Of dollars !?
chiefly the owners of large wealth-non-
producers. Thus, by the policy Of cur
rency contraction, not only has the bur-
den of the five-twenty bonds been in
creased four hundred millions of dollars,
but there has also heen taken from the
producers and given to the non produ
cers-from the workers and given to the
drones-a sum equal to half our bonded
debt.
1.-The weight of this enormous loss
fell at first on the debtors only. Its ef
fects are discernible to all but the blind,

all kinds on sea and land, and of all
manufactures, except such as are spe-
cially sustained by the tariff. They are

A Russian Dance.

The hardest kind of amusement for
females ever cotton up must be the Rus
sian peasant dances. Think of a girl
going through long dance without
speaking or smiling! The following is
an account OF the dance:
The dancers stand apart-a knot of
young men here, q knot Of maidens
there-each sex by itself, and silent as
a crowd of mutes. When the piper
breaks into tune youth pulls off his
cap and challenges girl with a wave
and bow. If the girl is willing she
waves her handkerchief in token of as.
sent; the youth advances, takes a cor
ner of the handkerchief in his hand,
and leads his lassie round and round
No word is spoken, and no laugh is
heard. Stiff with cords and rich with
brads, the girl moves heavily by her
self, going round and round, and never
allowing her partner to touch her hand.
The pipe goes droning on for hours in
the same sad key and measure; and the
price of merit in this ''circling," ms the
dance is called, IS given by spectators
to the lassic who,in all that summer rev
elry, has never spoken and never smiled.

CAUGHT BX A FaY-wHETE.
Terrible Experience of an Ensln-
eGr.

The Norristown, Pa Herald of Sat
urday says: A correspondent sends us
the following account of terrible acu-
dent which occurred recently. Our in,
formaut also says that Roop, the mining
engineer. is now employed 10y the Nor
ris Iron Works.
Mr.. Winters, Of the Lehigh Iron
Mines, tells of the following narrow es-
cape from terrible death, which oc.
Cured in his mine on Monday evening
last. The mine is situated in Leligh
county, and is one of the largest of the
kind in the State, being one hundred
feet in depth, with two enormous shafts.
Or the surface of the shafts is built a
brick engine house, and here was the
scene of the narrow escape. The en-.
CINE is one hundred and fifty nominal
horse power, stands vertical, ana the
top of the enormous cylinder is gained
by means of an iron ladder, well secur-
ed to the bed Of the engine.
While the night engineer, Mr.. Sam
uel H. Roop, was ascending the ladder
in order to reverse his engine, which is
done by means of shifting bars on the
cylinder stand, he slipped and fell dis
tance of fifteen feet, and landed in the
fy-wheel pit, which is ten feet in depth,
the wheel being twenty-five feet in di-
ameter. The space between the pit and
the wheel is only fifteen inches. At the
same moment the speed of the engine
was increased, and no one within hear
ing to stop it or relieve the engineer.
Absolutely paralyzed with horror up
on discovering the peril of his situation,
the man was for moment powerless to
attempt to avert his seemingly inevita-
BILE fate; nearly overcome with the hor-
ror of his situation, his strength was
rapidly failing, and the experiment, with
its issue of life or death, must speedily
be tried, if at ALL
With a superhumaD effort he gradual
ly drew himself upward, hope and fear
lerding him unwonted strength; the
oozing, crumbling mortar that held the
brick work in its place cracked and drop
ped with the heavy strain, but the firm
bricks held, and the man, thanking
Providence, was soon out of danger,
after being at least twenty minutes in
that awful pit.

hidden.
WASHINGTON, September 22.-The
partisan character of the Ku-Klux Com
mittee is almost daily exemplifed. Du-
ring the recent meetings all the resolu-
tions offered bv Democratic members
have been voted down. Yesterday Cen
eral Blair submitted resolution for a
subcommittee to investigate Clayton's
rascality in Arkansas, but it was voted
down. A similar one from Senator Bay
ard, to investigate the custom house
.outrages in New Orleans, met the same
tate. The object of these was to show
that the corruptions and expressions of
Federal and State officials caused dis
content and disturbances in the South.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, made motion
to print the Radical Governors own
exhibits Of the appalling debt that the
carpet, baggers have built up over an
impoverished and ruined people; but,
after long debate, this too was voted
down. 1t can be stated. however, that
this exhibit from Radical sources indi-
Gates spoliation and robbery by South
ern Legislatures most alarming in its

these tables show that in the way of
railroad and other jobs, the debts of the
Southern States in the last three years
have been increased the enormous
amount of S22,690,l00. with little CT
nothing to show for it except in the for
tunes of carpet baggers, jobbers, and
lobbyists.

Another Girl Full of Needles.
From the Memphis Appeal.l

Last Sunday evening, young girl
who lives on the Raleigh road complain
ed of violent pain in the head and
right cheek. AT first the mother Of the
girl thought that nothing serious would
result, and that visit of doctor was
not necessary. About ten o'clock the
same night the pain in the head and
cheek began TO cease. The child's eyes
closed and her pains were forgotte.. in
sleep. The mother, who watched in
cessanuy at her daughters bedside,
thought that before morning all would
be well but this was not the case. The
sick girl awoke before five o'clock the
next morning and began to cry in a
most lamentable manner. Her mother
inquired for the cause Of this. The
daughter replied that she felt as though
something was sticking her there. From
the way she suffered, it was at last con,
eluded to send for doctor. The phys
ician came about nine o'clock, and Or
dered some liniment to be rubbed on
the painful arm. The next morning the
Doctor came again, asking Mary, for
this was the child's name, to show her
arm. He perceived right below the
shoulder three very small spots, shin
ing as steel would Touching them, he
found that they were very hard. The
girls mother then remarked that these
dots looked like the heads of needles
The Doctor could not believe that there
was such thing in Mary's arm; how
ever, to please the mother he applied a
small pair of pinchers to one of the
spots. Now, imagine the surprise of
those present when he pulled out of the
flesh three needles, which formed the
three spots upon the arm. But this is
not the end. The physician continued
his visits three more mornings, extract
ing each morning two more needles. AT
ter this Mary's pains passed away, and
now she is as well as any of US. Can
some scientific brain explain how need
les found their way into the arms of this
little girl, who endured so much suffer

girl, wouldn't she make capital sew

An Old Rule Reversed.

A Washington telegram communicates
the following highly interesting intelli-
gence:
"The Treasury Department contin-
ues to send a detachment of three clerks
to London with each installment of
the new bonds that goes out to the Syn
dicate. Eighteen of these fortunate
gentlemen are now abroad enjoying
themselves at Government expense, and
four more detachments are to GO, max
ing thirty clerks in ALL Their passage
and all other travelling expenses are
paid, and they are allowed to be absent
for periods Of six weeks each, giving
them time to make little trip ON the
Continent"
Very nice all that, at the expense Of
the taxpayers. The New York Trib-
une, knowing that serious talk on the
subject, while the head of the Executive
branch of the Government is junketing
over the country, would be lost on the
public, treats the matter facetiously, say.
ing:
"a little while ago the invalided cler-
gyman, sent to Europe for the cure of
the bronchitis, was standing joke in
the newspapers; now it is the Govern
ment clerk, who is sent over to Europe
'on Government business at public ex.
pense. The Treasury, Post Office, Gov
ernment Architects Office, and nearly
every other public department has each
in turn furnished recruits to the lucky
army Of American tourists in Europe.
twenty-five or thirty of these gentle
men arc enjoying themselves abroad
without cost, or are about to sail on
their first foreign tour. Once it was
thought fine thing to be popular city
pastor with sore throat which nothing
but European air could cure, but the
modest clergy men are altogether out.
