The Horse Malady,

The .Sci5nce of Health says: eff any one
can understand how a human being, suf-
fering of abad cold, with cough, nasal dis
charge, pain in the chest, and soreness of
the throat, should be treated, he ought to
know howto manage horse affected with
the same symptoms. True, we can not
administer the warm foOt-bath, the vapor
bath, nor the sweating pack, so ,conven-
iently to horses, nor is it necessary. AS
the horse is accustomed to more simple
habits, and can live without artificial heat,
more simple remedial measures will ans
wer. But any animal, when sick, can be
treated hygienically, and that is all that is
necessary.
We can at least follow the good advice
which Hippocrates gave more than two
thousand years ago: If you can not do any
good, you can at least avoid doing harm
We can refuse to bleed, withhold the
drugs and give nature chance. The sick
horse should have clean room away from
the miasms of theI stable, protected from
chilling winds, but with an abundant sup
ply of fresh air.
Once day the whole surface should be
sponged with tepid water, and rubbed
thoroughly dry with flannel cloths, and
afterwards covered with warm blanket.
He may drink as much pure water, but
not very cold, as he will; do not force or
coax him to eat until he inclines to. Keep
a few good carrots and apples before him
constantly. They are better medicine than
anything that can be found in the drug

Anrles for Sick Horses.

\ correspondent of the Country Gentle
man says: "All my horses have been at
tackled with the prevailing disease, and my
main object has been to keep them warm,
clean and comfortable, and to give them
succulent food and such as will operate as
an expectorant. There was enough green
clover left of the second growth which L
had moved as their principal food, and 1
gave them several quarters of fresh apples
three times sally. The consequence was,
my horses had the disease exceedingly
light-the one first attacked began to
amend decidedly within week. found
that had lerge quantity of windfalls in
my orchard, which in this abundant sea-
son had not been regarded as worth gath
ering, and these furnished about twenty
bushels of food for the horses. Apples are
a well-known expectorant, and they re-
lieve the cough materially"

Forrest in the Lions ben.

Edwin Forrest once remarked that he
never knew what it was to be afraid.
Driesbach, lion-tamer, asked him home
one night after performance. The story
runs thus:
Forrest assented, and the two entering
q house, walked long distance through
many devious passages-all dark-until
finally Driesbech, opening door, said:
This way, Mr., Forrest Forrest entered,
and Immediately heard the door slammed
and locked behind him. He had not time
to express any surprise at this, for at the
same moment he felt something soft rub
bling against his leg, and putting out his
hand, touched what felt like a cats back.
A rasping growl saluted the motion, and
he saw two fiery, glazing eGeballs looking
up at him. Are you afraid, Mr. Forrest"
asked Dresbach, invisible in the darkness.
Not Bit Driestach said something
the growl deepened and became hoarser,
the back began to arch and the eyes to

or three minutes, but the symptoms
became so terrifying that he owned up in
so many words that he was afraid. Now
let me out, you Internal scoundrel,' he said
to the lion-tamer, and I'll break every
bone in your body He was imprudent
there, for Driesbsch kept him, not daring
to move a finger, with the lion rubbing
against his leg ali the time, until Forrest
promised not only immunity, buta cham

The Chattanooga POstOfEce.

The confirmation of Ex-Governor Sam
uel Bard, of Georgia, as postmaster at
Chattanooga, Tennessee, will probably be
recalled by the Senate, it being alleged
that the President was misled as to the
tenor of the recommendations on which
the appointment was made, and that the
displacement of the present postmaster is
undesired by the people of Chattanooga
and the Republican leaders of the State
Washington Republican.

A Change In the Method Of PORK Packing

The st. Louis Democrat says: The
most successful packers in the country are
those who have adnrfed the summer pack
ing system, in whiek, by means of ice,
cool during the hottest months of the year.
Some establishments now kill and pack an
average of 900 hogs Per day throughout
the yOar, and allowing the very small
profit of one dollar per hog the aggregate
is immense. The cost Of the ice used in
the process does not exceed the interest
paid by winter packers who carry stocks
on bank renewals, and the freshness of his
meats always gives the summer packer an
advantage ia the market.

Enough we might have inferred from his

simply this, that We were offered a consi.
