Clean and Dry Stables.

A horse will endure severe cold
weather without much Inconvenience,
if he is furnished with a dry stable !;
but, require him to stand on wet
foul floor, and his health will soon be-
gin to fail. Horses often suffer from
cold feet and legs. A great many
stables have damp wet floors. Few
men who handle horses give proper at
tention to the feet and legs. Especially
this is the case on farms. Much time
is spent of q morning in rubbing,
brushing, and smoothing the hair on
the sides and hips, but at no time are
the feet examined and proper cared
for. Now he it known, that the feet
of a horse require more care than the
body. They need ten times az much,
for in one respect, they are almost the
entire hore. All the grooming that
can be done won't avail anything II the
horse is forced to stand where his feet
will he filthy. In this case the feet Will
become disOrdered; and the legs will
get badly out Of fix; and with bad feet
and bad legs, there is not much else OF
the horse fit for anything. Stable
prisoners generally are terribly severe
ON the feet and legs Of horses; and un-
less these buildings can afford dry
room, where horses can walk around
lie down, or roll over, they are not half
so bealthty amt comfortable to the
horse in the pasture, and should be
avoided by all good hostlers IN the
country,

Antioch Again Destroyed by an Earth.
quake.

The destruction of One-half of the
city of Antioch, in Syria, by an earth
quake, and the loss of fifteen hundred
lives, is announced by cable DISPATCHES
No particulars have been received fur
Their than that great distress prevails
in that portion of the city not demOlish
ed, and the remaining inhabitants are
sadly in need of assistance. This is the
fifth or sixth time during the Christian
era that Antioch has suffered such q
calamity. In the year lis, while the
Roman Emperor, Trajan, was visiting
the city-then called, from its wealth
and influence, the "Queen of the East"
an earthquake leveled almost the entire
city to the ground, burying thousands
of its inhabitants beneath the surface o.
the earth. The city was rebuilt, but in
the wear ass was again visited by
shock almost as severe as the first. But
a worse fate was yet to come to it, for
in the year 526, while the inhabitants
and multitudes from the surrounding
country were celebrating the Feast OF
the Ascension, the earth opened and en-
quilted a large part of the city, shatter-
tering and destroying the remainder.
1t is impossible to calculate the amount
of suffering Occasioned by this single
disaster, but it is known that more than
100000 lives were lost. About sixty
years later the city was again the scene
of like calamity, and again i'll the
wear 1922.

Bismarck and the Catholics.

Prince Bismarck, in the Prussian
House of Lords, on the 10th of March,
thus put the differences between the
Government and the Catholics in Prus-
STA:
"Shall there be in Prussia political
party in the interest and for the ends of
an ecclesiastical power outside of Ger
MANY, which claims to be above the
Constitutional Government of the
State, to nulify the acts of Parliament
and the will of the sovereign? Shall
Germany be ruled from Italy, to the
subversion at last of Italian unity and
liberty, together with her own? Shall
this ecclesiastical party, working in the
State and against the State, be allowed
to use the common schools for teaching
the dogmas of the Syllabus against So
ciety and Government; and also by
keeping the Poles, foreigners in Ian
guage, to keep them estranged in feel
ing, ignorant of the true spirit and aims
of the Government, and to nOurish in
them the prejudice of race and the big
otry of religion against the unity of
Germany? Shall this party, inspired
from Rome, be suffered to. introduce
Roman politics into this Parliament,
and TO pervert the Constituent Assem-
Div of the whole nation into an arena
for ecclesiastical strifes and hierarchical
ambition?n After the discussion both
parties rallied all their strength; 2O1
members were in their seats, and lbs
voted aye, and 76 nay-giving ma
iority OF 40 to the law which Gusts &C.
clesiastics rs such from the prerogative
of school inspection, and commits the
appointment of such officers solely
to the civil government.

Charcoal for Farm Animals.

Very few know how to treat farm ami
mails when taken sick; and usually, in
the anxiety to relieve the poor creatures,
all manner of hurtful nostrums, medi-
cines, etc., are poured down their Threats.
In many cases it would be far better to
give them nothing at all until the pro
prietor knows what is the matter, and
learns how to treat the disorder ju-
diciously. Attend to every exterior COM
fort of the animal. Provide for it a
good sheltered bed, with pure air and
clearly surroundings. One article has
been often used as medicine in case Of
sickness, which has always proved bene-
fetal, and that is pIlreriged charcoal.
Most of the disorders of animals come
either from Overeating or insufficient
digestion; and where this is the case,
charcoal is Just the thing to apply, and
it should be administered promptly.
An example of its value is afforded in
the case of farmer in Central New
York. The hired man came in with
the intelligence that one of the finest
cows was very sick, and kind neighbor
proposed the usual drugs and pOisons.
The owner being ill, and unable to e1
anime the COW, concluded that the
trouble came from some overeating, and
ordered teacupfnl Of pulverized char
coal, given in water. 1t was mixed,
placed in junk bottle, the head held
upward, and the water with its charcoal
poured downward. In five minutes iml
proven ent was visible, and in a few
hours the animal was in the pasture,
quietly eating grass. Another instance
of equal success occurred with young
heifer which became badly bloated by
eating green apples, after hard wind.
The bloat was so severe that the sides
were almost as hard as barrel. The
old remedy (saleratus) was tried for the
purpose of correcting the acidity. But
the attempt to put it down always caus-
ed coughing, and it did little good.
Half a teacupful of fresh powdered
charcoal was next given. In six hours
all appearance of bloat was gone, and
the heifer was well.
Fresh charcoal is better to use than
old. 1t may be made by taking fresh
embers or Goals from a wood fire, and
pounding them up finely. Charcoal
can never do any injury when used in
moderation. 1t is neither poisonous
nor can make an animal sick. 1t acts
only for good, if at all.
Give your animals when sick good,
clean, warm quarters. Do not feed too
much, and administer fair doses of
charcoal,

Winning Golden Opinions,

Perhaps no man living has won more
golden opinions than DR.. Walker, as
the enormous and widely increasing sale
of his California Vinegar Bitters attests.
We never look into one of our exchan-
ges, but there is panegyric of the Bit
tiers staring us in the face. Our readers
will say that there must be a reason for
all this praise. They are right. The
efficacy of this celebrated medicine is
established by evidence which it is i'm
possible to doubt. Among the thou
sands who have borne testimony to its
excellence, there is not one dissentient
voice. In very many phases of inor-
ganic disease it seems to be unfailing.
All diseases arising from vitiated state
of the blood are surely eradicated by it.
1t is an effectual remedy for pulmonary
complaints, bilious, remittent and inter
mittent fevers, rheumatism and dyspep-
sin. 1t purges the body of all unhealthy
humors, gives tone to the system, and
where the vital powers are enfeebled,
restores their functions to vigorous and
healty action. All this it does the more
effectually because its operation is not
interfered with by the presence of alco-
hol. The Vinegar Bitters is perfectly
free from any such hurtful ingredient.
We have always believed that plants
contain the true remedies for disease,
and all the remedies necessary. DIR.
Walker is on the line of real progress,
and we hope that he will not rest on
his present discoveries.

Dry Bathing.

Regular bathing, so far as the people
of this country are concerned, is GER
tainly habit of quite modern adoption.
The fathers and mothers, and grand
fathers and grandmothers, of those who
have reached middle age, seldom or
never bathed, except in the warm
months of summer. Their dwellings
afforded no conveniences for the act, if
they felt the need of performing it. AS
a general thing, the health was unaf-
fected by this omission. Why was
this? Because of their occupations and
their methods of living. They were &C
tive workers, they wore but small
amount of clothing, they lived much in
the open air, and their dwellings, were
without stove and furnace heat. If
any one in these days will exercise in
the open air, so that each day he will
perspire moderately, and if he will wear
thin under-garments, or none at all and
sleep in acold room, the functions of the
skin will suffer little or no impediment
if water is withheld for months. In
deed, bathing is not the only way in
which its healthful action can be main

tions at present existing. Dry friction
over the whole surface of the body once
in two days, is often of more service
than the application of water. There
ply of the centenarian to the inquiry,
to what habit of life he attributed his
good health and extreme longevity, that
he believed it due to rubbing himself
all over with cob every night, is sig
niicant CT an important truth. If in
valids and persons of low vitality would
use dry friction and DR.. Franklin's ''air-
bath" every day for considerable pc
Rod, We are confident they would often
be greatly benefited. Cleanliness is
next to godliness, 10 doubt, and a
proper and judicious use of water is to
be commended; but human beings are
not amphibious. Nature indicates that
the functions of the skin should be
kept in order mainly by muscular ex-
ercise, by exciting natural perspiration
by labor; and delicious as is the bath,
md healthful, underproperregulations,
it is no substitute for the body, with
out which all the functions become abb

Infection In the Air.

new lease of life; but to the sensitive and
delicate membe rs of the human family Ii is q

Value Of Salt.

This substance is remarkable as con-
shutting the only mineral eaten by
man. Not only does it afford an in.
dispensable and wholesome cOndiment
for our tables, but it forms an essential
constituent Of the blood, and supplies
to the human system the loss sustained
by saline secretiOns. It's antiseptic
properties areinvaluable; but although
it preserves, it ultimately changes and
deteriorates the quality of the food to
which it is applied, rendering the same
innutritious and indigestible; for salt,
Notwithstanding its being strong
stimulant to the animal fibre, Is not
convertible into nutriment. This Ii
the cause why sailors, who subsist long
upon stated provisions, are subject to
the sea-curvy. Its medical qualities
are also remarkable. While all other
saline PREPARATIONS tend to cool, this
but heats the body and engenders
thirst. Same years ago, q medical man
wrote a pamphlet, in which he con-
demned the use Of salt attr!buting to
II ali the diseases to which flesh Is heir:
The poor fellow eventually committed
suicide. Only lately q book has APP
peared, in which the writer, who Is q
physician, recommends salt as q sure

An Actors Discontinue David Garrick
and his MaStiff.

One very sultry evening in the dog
days Garrick performed the part of
"Lear.n In the first four acts he re-
ceived the accustomed tribute of ap-
plause; at the conclusion of the fifth,
when he wept over the body of Cor
della, every eye caught the soft infec-
ton.
At this interesting moment, to the
establishment of all present, his face
assumed new character, and his
whole frame appeared agitated by a
new passion. 1t was not tragic, it was
exidently3an endeavor to suppress a
laugh.
In few seconds the old attendant
mobiles appeared to be effected in the
same manner, and the beauteous
COrdelia, who was lying extended on
crimson couch. opening her eyes to see
what occasioncd the interruption, leap
ed from her sofa, aud with the majesty
of England, the gallant Albany, and
tough old Kent, ran laughing of the
stage.
The audience could not account for
this strange termination of a tragedy in
any other way than by surprising
that the d, dnldtis person@ were seized
with sudden frenzy but their risiblii-
ty had different source.
A fat Whitechapel butcher, seated i'm
the contre of the front bench OF the
pit, was accompanied by his mas,iff>
who, being accustomed to sit Oh the
same seat with his master at home,
naturally supposed that he might here
enjoy the same privilege. The butcher
sat very far back /; and the dog, finding
fair opening, got On the seat, and
fixing his forepaws on the rail Of the
orchestra, peered at the performers
with a. upright head and a. grave ar
air as the most sagacious critic Of the
day.
Our corpulent Straightforward was
made Of melting stuff, and not be-
ing accustomed to the heat of a play
house, found himself oppressed by u
large and well-powdered Sunday
periwig, which for qualification of cool
ing and wiping his head he pulled off
and placed on the head Of the mastiff.
The dog, being in so conspicuous a
situation, caught the eye Of Mr.. Gar
rick and the other performers. A
mastiff in church warden's wig was
too much; it would have provoked
laughter in Lear himself, at the mo-
ment of his deepest distress. No wonder
that it had such Al effect on his
representative.

EDUCATION.
TO educate q man is to unfold his
faculties. to give him the free and full
use of his powers. 1t Is first to train
the intellect, to give him a love OF
truth, and to instruct him in the pro-
cess by which it may be acquired. 1t
is TO train him in sOundnes5 of judg-
ment, to teach him to weigh evidence,
and guard against the common sources
of error. 1t is to give him thirst FOR
knowledge, which ill keep his fscui-
lies in action through life. 1t il to aid
him in the study of the outward world,
TO initiate him into the physical sci.
ences, so that he may understand the
principles of his trade or business, aud
will he abe to comprehend the phe-
nomepa which are continually passing
before his eyes. 1t is to make him ace
quaibted with his own nature, to give
him that most important means of inn
provement, self-cOmprehensiOn.

He liveth long who liveth we'll;
All else is life but flung away;
He iiveth longest who can tell

Then fill each hour with what wiillast;
Buy up the moments as they go;
The life above when this is past,
Is the ripe fruit of life below.
Sow love, and taste its fruitage pure;
Sow peace, and reap its harvest
bright;
Sow sunbeans on the rock and moor,
And find harvest. home of light.

blood, the use Of salt may possibly form
q safe and effective specific. Salt is
not only an agreeable condiment, but
also an indispensable requisite. When
moderately used, it scts as gentle
stimulant to the stomach, and gives
piquancy and relish to our food. In
Africa, the high-caste children suck
rock salt as IL 1t were sugar, although
the poorer classes of natives cannot so
indulge their palates. Hence the ex-
preston in vogue among them: " He
eats salt with his vituals." signifying
that the person alluded to is an opu-
lent man. In those countries where
mineral salt lie not procurable, and
where the inhabitants are far removed
