Sprinkle carbelic acid freely about
the managers. Steep red peppers in
vinegar, using two of the sword pep
pers to pint of vinegar use one half
for inside dose, and rub the remainder
outside the neck. If the throat becomes
badly infiamed and sore, bind on salt
pork saturated with coal oil. A good
sized handful of dried pennyruyal,
made into tea and given hot, will
create a sweat and drive off fever.
The diseased horse should be secured
from draft of air, and allowed to re-
main quiet until he regains health.
Careful grooming and continued rub
bling of the whole body is of great ben
eft.
A tablespoonful of sulphur mixed
with two of salt, and given several days
succession, will serve to keep the
bowels in good state.
A small piece of ssafetida (size of
pea)pOwdered and mixed with their
food, is good prevention of desease.
Rest is the one great thing needed to
secure a cure; ill-treatment from over
work at the time the disease is abatiDg,
causes more de.ths than the natural
course of the disc ase.
Especially should the horse be shield

RoYALTY is Of visiting turn these days.
Quite delegation of German, or Danish roy
alties, including the King and Queen of Den
mara and daughter, and others, are on visit
to England, the Princess of Wales doing the
honors of their reception, in the absence of
her husband. Time evidently hangs heavy on
the hands of these royal people, and travel is
one of the readiest ways of dissipating it.

The Causes of Drunkenness.

The National Food and Fuel Re
former, in an article upon drunkenness,
thus, in brief, sums up the causes that
lead to the over-c consumption of alco-
moi: l. The want of oxygen. If the
air becomes exhausted oi portion of
its oxygen. it has lt wering effect up
on the human system. >. Want of
nutritious ana aromatic food, the
strongest, perhaps, of all the causes of
DRUNKENNESS. 3. Unsettled meals. If
exhaustion is not replaced regularly
sudden requirements is required. 1t Is
no use for mothers and wives TO eX-
claim against the drunkenness of sons
and husbands if that which would OBJ
viatd drunkenness-regularity of food
meals-is not attended to. 4. Spas
modic work. Regular occupation and
regular hours are preventives of ex-
tives of exhaustation of vitality. 3.
Want of sieep. There is no greater foe
to sobriety it eats into the very mar
row of vitality. Dong wakefulness ex-
hausts the system, and requires stimu-
liant action. 6. Iii regulated vital
ity." Ali disorderly action is absorb
ent, and leads to the use of stimulants.
Z. Exhaustive pleasures. 8. Bad teeth.
Unequal mastication causes bad diges-
tion and want of punishment, and both
led to the undue consumption of alec
hol. 8. Want of cleanliness. Cleanli
ness exhilarates, dirt debases. Drunk
enpess is fond of unkempt hair,
unwashed skin, tawery dress, unmend-
ed clothes. 10. Heavy clothing and
close rooms. IL. Over study, over
exertion, over work. all conditioned
undue consuption of alcohol. u.
Sameness OF life. But stagnation is
just as bad. Life will have variety,
and when that is neglected we have to
create an artificial action.

The Five Miiiiards.

We recently gave an account, con-
densed from an article in BIackr00d's
Magazine, of the manner in which
France paid the enormous war in
demnitv extorted by victorious Ger
many. The writer in Bldcklc0Ods
makes the following comments on
this wonderful feat:
When we look back upon the sub
ject as a whole, three great facts
strike US in it. The first, that
France is vastly rich; the second,
that the trade OF Europe has attained
such a magnitude that figures are
ceasiDg to convey its measure; the
third, that the aggregate commercial
action Of nations is lever which can
lift any financial load whatever. As
we see the transaction now. with
these explanations Of its composition
before US, we can not fail to recog-
nize that it has been European rather
than purely French. All purses
helped to provide funds for 1t; all
trade supplied bills for it. la every
previous state Of the worlds ecm-
merce such an operation would have
been impossible: fifty, thirty, twenty
years ago it would have ruined
France and disordered Europe; IN
our time it has come and gone with

economic conditions under which We
live.

The vasiness Of that trade ex

From a receat letter from Constan-
tinople to the Providence Journal
we quote:
The accounts which are given of
the riches which are boarded in the
palace have the savor of the tales of
the Arabian Nights. Beyond doubt
q vast deal Of wealth, in the form Of
diamonds and precious stones, is ac-
cumulated there. The ostentatious
display by the shah Of Persia Of his
wealth in this direction, on the recent
tour Of visitation with which be fa-
vored Europe, is well known. Among
a profusivn Of jewels on his person,
be was accustomed to wear q cap

and fastened at the front with a brill
liant Of enormous size On the oc-
casion when the sultan was to receive
him as his guest the grand staircase
and the corridor leading to the audi
ence room were, 10 anticipation Of
the arrival Of the shah, ordered to be
laid with heavy Smyrna rugs studded
all ever with diamonds, emeralds and
sapphires, so that the royal visitor
was obliged to tread under his feet
the evidences of greatness which be
wore on his head. The sultan re-
ceived him, as he stepped upon the
staircase, in O plain dress, wearing
his usual simple fez Of scarlet cloth,
and without personal ornament of

A few broken words to Elsie, mur-

fell upon the wasted face, placid in

cherished when the lips that had
spoken it were mute, and Aunt Julia
had two true mourners at her funeral
while many of the friends Of year:
