THE S. P. C. A. AND THE Horse DISEASE
The society with the interminable name issues
the following letter by its secretary, Mr.. Frank
B. Fay:
What is the society doing in regard to the
horse malady? As this question is so often
asked, we feel called upon TO respond.
The present calamity is a peculiar one, and,
in our action in regard TO it, we cannot be gov
erned by precedents. A public misfortune has
fallen upon the people, and we have felt it TO be
our duty to be cautious in forbidding the use OF
horses suffering with this disease. The best
judges differ in regard to the expedlency OF
using them, some advocating entire rest, others
advising moderate use.
We have found our people, corporations and
individuals, willing and anxious to avoid work.
ing Ltheir horses; but there has been very
strong pressure in cases where commercial and
manufacturing interests were suffering, and
perhaps hundreds of men and women thrown
out of employment for the want of few hours
use of horses in transportation.
Again, it is SAID men and women, in an emer-
gency, work when half sick, and this seems to
be an emergency.
But, in large number of cases, our agents
have directed that horses badly diseased should
be put up, and owners have readily complied.
The disease has proved severe test to the
skill of our best veternsries, and there is a
wide difference in their treatment. Hence we
hesitate to recommend any special medical REM
edies. But all agree in advising clean stables,
good ventilation, warm blankets, a moderate
amount of food, the best care and no hard
work.
Ofcourse, if the malady increases, and we be-
come satisfied that even moderate work is hurt
full, we shall resort to stringent measures; but,
at present, it seems TO US that a lenent course
is best, in view of the general calamity and the
general disposition, to be humane.

ter County Mechanics Association. He served
in the board of assessors and in the school COM
mittee, and was for some time assistant assessor
of internal revenue.
Col. Taft was deeply interested in the practice
and culture of music, and for thirty wears was
connected with some musical organization in
this city. He was president of the old Mozart
society, and, upon the union of the Beethoven
and Mozart societies, he sought to retire from
active service, but the earnest solicitations of
the members induced him TO serve as president
of the united societies; and he fully withdrew
only when the new organization, the Choral
Union, was established under the charter. As
man and citizen he will be missed and his
gentemanly bearing, as well as his personal
worth, will be remembered by those to whom he
was known

THE HORSE EPIDEMC.-What will be the effect
of even a temporary withdrawal of the horse power
from the nation, is serious question to contem-
plate. Coal cannot be hauled from the mines to run
ACCOMPLISHMENTS cannot market their produce
boats cannot reach their destination the canals
bills drawn against western shipments will be pro-
tested-merchants will become alarmed at the nom
appearance of customers-panic will seize the COM
munity, and, aside from the many millions to be
lost in the value of horses, the most disastrous
settling of values is more than probable
The disease seems to be without precedent. 1t
exhibits itself in three forms-catarrhal, rheumatic
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. termed by veternares
epizootic Influenza. To prevent the disease the
well animals must not now be hard worked. They
must be kept on soft food-like bran mash, carrots
and sailed hay-not allowed to drink cold water
warmly housed and well blanketed-haye plenty of
clean bedding and rubbed with proper stimulating
emollients.
Those which are sick, in addition to the above
should be given warm 1ax-seed tea, muriate of am
monia, belladonna aconite,Iand sweet spirits of
nitre. The nostrils and eyes must be kept well
rinsed with pure warm water, the windpipe throat
chest, belly and legs bathed and wrapped in emol-
lients. And for this, nothing seems to have such
wonderful power as Centaur liniment 1t is pene-
trating-is quickly absorbed by the system and acts
alike on the glands, muscles and lungs 1t is
certain preventive, and superior to opodeldoc, tur-
pentine or capscum. Well horses thus treated will
not take the disease, and in stables where four
fths of the horses have been attacked this treat
ment has cured the most of them in a few days. 1t
is estimated that there are now 10000 sick horses
in New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City, and the
disease is rapidly spreading throughout the coun.

A WOMAN VINO SEEMED THOUSAND YEARS

white, and her eyes were superb. They burned
and glowed with peculiar light. Altogether
she was a most curious person in appearance,
manners, actions and mind. Mile. Delaclaye
the French actress, is said TO resemble the
Princess Belgiojoso in her youth. The princess
possessed 10 the last that wonderful intellectual
readiness which was peculiar to her, especially
when writing. She always wrote on her lap,
never on a table. She never corrected her MSS;
she would write rapidly, throwing sheet after
sheet.down as soon as finished, and never look
