The Laws of Health,

II is useless for ) ate Leg slatures to pass laws
for the preservation OF the public health, Ii the
great law of self which depends for
its enforcement upon the will of the individual, is
suffered to remain dead letter. There is scarce
ly an adult member of the community. of either
sex, In this country, who has not seen the test
mopy in favor of IIostetter's Stomach Btters fur
nished over their own signatures by persons of
acknowledged eminence in science, literature,
art. commerce, and every department of business
and professional life. These witnesses have de
clared ia The most explicit terms that the prepare
tion is a safeguard against epidemics, a sovereign
remedy for dyspepsia. a valuable anti bilious med
icine, a promoter of appetite, genial and ha rm-
less stimulant. a good acclimating medicine, a
strengihener o. the nerves, general inv igorant
protection against the deleterious effects of ma
laria and impure water, and that ii imparts a de-.
of vigor AMI activity to the vital forces which
is not communicated by any other of the tonics
and stomachcs in use. Under these circumst ances
the self-preservaiive law of nature should teach
every rational person who, either by reason of in
herent debility Or In consequence of exposure to
influences, is in peril o: losing the
greatest of all temporal blessings, health. the im-
portance of using the Btters as Il deinsive medi-
cine. Dyspeptics who neglect to givSita trial are
simply their own enemies. II is guaranteed TO

and nervous will find nothing In the whole range
Of official and proprietary medicines which will
Afford them the same relief.

Skull Hunting i'm the South Sea
Islands.

The practice of skull hunting is most
barbarOus custom of the natives of these
islands, who in many cases undoubtedly
have been assisted by the white men,
brought about in the following manner !:
A vessel arrives at one of the islands. and
the king IS informed by the master of the
vessel that he is DESTROYS of trading and
bartering. The answer is that he has so
much cOcanut oil, &c, which he is willing
to part with for trade gear, providing he
will allow some of his (rhe king's) warri-
Ors to take passage in the vessel to such
and such an island with whom they are at
war. This is agreed on, and number of
these sO-called warriors are embarked.
On arriving at the island the unsuspect-
ing natives. as usual, come alongside.
when these sO-called warriors suddenly
attack, kill them, and cut off their heads.
winch are kept and placed on pegs in
tnelr TABOO houses as trophies the mas
ter of the vessel on his return secures the
trade as before promised in exchange for
tobacco, pipes, Sc, as most fancied and
wanted by the natives. 1t is but right tn
state that, although it has been REPORTED
by the missionaries on these islands that
wh1te men have assisted in these barbar-
Gus practices of skull hunting, yet no sim
gle case has been fully proved.
At one of the villages on the sea shore
OF Isabe! Island most sickly and re-
pulsive sight presented itself. Across the
door OF the chiefs house were nailed
twenty three or twenty-five human heads.

the c9ief ana his followers from some eff

MADE nom the rear, as was evident bv the
skuis the nsh was still on the bones, |
the eyes protruding, jaws broken, and the |
stencil frightful. The bodies of ali these e |
men had been eaten.-Sidney Herald.

Saw Dust for Stables.

A correspondent of the London Field
has the following which will be of inter-
est to those living in the vicinity of lum-
obtainable. We can add our testimony to
the value Of this material, as bedding for
horses or cattle. The correspondent
says:
~ litter the horses on it to a depth OF
nine inches, raking off the damp and
soiled surface every morning, and spread
ing evenly little fresh, removing the
whole four or five times year. Its ad-
vantages appear to be many, of which
will state few which give 1t, in my esti-
nation, its greatest superiority over
straw. 1t Is much cleaner, and more
easily arranged; and, Of course, much
cheaper ct hfst cost, making in the end
excellent manure. It Is peculiarly bene-
hcdal to the feet, afDrding them q COOL

Clacking.

Clacking, or, as it is sometimes called
'fOrging" is the name given to the sound
produced by the hind shoe striking the
fore one in progression. 1t is usually
heard at the trot, and seldom noticed in
adult horses. 1t is most common in
young horses out of condition and especi-
ally noticeable when they are tired. The
noise is produced by the hind shoe strik-
ing the under surface of the fore enc just
behind the toe, not at the heels. When
the blow has been repeated so as to leave
an impression. the marks are found on the
inner edge of the fore shoe. This is i'm
portant, as it shows us that the length of
the shoe is not at fault, and it suggests
the removal of the part where striking oc-
ours. Removal of this edge is equivalent
to making a shoe cOncave instead of flat
on the ground surface, and such shoe is
found effectually to prevent q recurrence of
the Objectionable noise. The ordinary
hunting shoe, especially the narrow one
made in a"creSS,"is the best possible
form. For harness horses, where more
substance is required for wear, the Oru-
nary shoe seated on the outside instead If
the inside is usually sutii lent. A case
may be met with in which this alteration
is not effective. We must then alter the
hind shoes, making them square at the
toe. with two clips-One on either side
and set back q little on the foot. The
wall at the toe should not be rasped off,
but allowed to protrude little. Too
often the hind shoes are the frs. TO suffer
alteration, something of very objection
able kind; for instance, We have seen the
toe of hind shoe made diamond shaped
and prominent, SO as to come in contact
with the sole of the fOrefOOt instead of the
shoe. This is most irrational and some
what dangerous expedient. 1t leaves the
offending part of the fore shoe untouched,
and favOrs the infliction of injury to the
foot. Even when the hind shoe is only
made short and placed back on the foot,
there is risk of the horn at the toe being
unduly worn, and there is shortening
of the leverage of the foot which must
more or less affect the powers of progress
sion.
fla horse "clacks," rest cOntented at
first with altering the fore shoes as we
have described improve his condition,
and ride him up to the bit, but not past
his Dace,-Er,
