Sr. LOUls EPIzooTiC-A very violent and
alarming horse disease broke out on Friday
Of last week III the stables of the l,elefontaine
street car company in st. Louis. Over 100
horses were seized within twenty. four hours,
of which some twenty have died, No new
cases have occurred since the first attack and
there is nothing yet to indicate that the dis.
ease will become general. The disease is
said to he purely nervous, and to resemble
cerebro-spinal meningitis in the human be.
ing. The animals first attacked, manifest the
greatest nervous excitement They tremble
Violently, give forth cries of pain, and perspi.
ration fairly dri2s from them. Between the
paroxysms, they approach food and eat with
great avididity Finally comes curvature OF
the neck and spine, paralysis of the hind
quarters, and death
From the fact that the disease is confined
Entirely to the stables named, and no new
cases are occurring, the suspicion is gaining
ground that the food Of the horses was pois
Oned, causing all the mischief The food
was hay, and new stock of it had been taken
IN on Friday morning, which fact is looked
upon as support of the theory. 1t is.thought
possible that the poisonous matter may be
some grass OF insect substance which found
Judgement with the hay either before or after
cutting. In order TO be on the safe side thu
food was entirely changed after the breaking
Out OF the disease. The poison theorists hold
that the fact that the horses improved aftei
the change is another strong point in favol
Of their position.

FIRE.-About3 o'clock P. NJ, on Thursday the
fire alarm was sounded and it was soon asher
tanned that the dwelling house of Mr.. Louis
eagle, the stone-cutter, west OF the ravine was
on fire. The fire had broken out in the roof
whence it is evident that it must have originated
from some fault Of the chimney. The weather
had been dry for some days, and high wind
was blowing mt the time, so that before the
steamer reached the spot there was no hope Of
sa7ing The building. Most of the furniture,
however, was safely removed. The steamer
found an abundant supply OF water in Mr.
Strawn'S arteslan well, and prevented the fire
from doing further damage. Mr.. eagle was alb
sent at Peru at the time and doubtless met any
thing but pleasant surprise on his return home
IN the night. The house was u wcll-built, large
two story frame, in good order-worth $500 at
least. The house was insured, VIC understand,
for 1890 and furniture for S70O.

A THORN IN THE PILLOW

A little girl went TO visit her
grandmother, who lived at some
distance from her mothers and
fathers home. She seemed happy
all day, for she had everything to
make her happy. But when
grandmother went to look at her
after she was asleep, she saw tear
drops on her eyelashes.
"Ab," said the old lady the
next morning. ''you were little
homesick last night. my DEAR
"Oh. no, grandmother" Mabel
replied. 81 could never be homesick
here
It was just SO the next night, land
the next. At length grandmother
thought, as the child seemed troub-
led, that she would sit in the next
room until she went to sleep.
Presently, although Mabel was
tucked up she began to rustic her
quilt, and shake her pillow, and
her grandmother heard a little sob;
so she went to her and said:
mabel, my child, you have a
thorn in your pillow; what is it y
Then the little girl hid her face,
and began to cry aloud. Her
grandmother was very much troub-
led. At length Mabel answered:
30 grandmother, when | am
alone here, I cannot forget how !
said, 4 won't, MOTHER and | can
not unsay it; and mother is good,
and loves me SO much, and was
so naughty"
And the tears streamed afresE
down the child's cheeks. Here,
then, was the thorn in her pillow,
and she could not withdraw it.
and so it will be by-and-by, witt
the little boy who is SO selfish ane
unkind at home. When ne is away
among strangers, he will think 0
the home OF his childhood; and th'
recollection of some unkind word or
action will be thorn in his pillow
when he retires at night. And the
little girl who does not care to hell
her mother now will find thorn IL
her pillow, when that mother sleeps
in her grave.
