Narcotising Horses.


Dosing horses with arsenic is an old
trick Of lazy grOoms, to save themselves he
labor of using eurryeomb aud brush to
keep horses coat in order. The mineral
poison is said to improve the human com
plexiOn and respiratory organs, and in one
of the provinces of China, aud in the
vicinity Of the arsenical works in Austria,
thousands Of people use the drug habitual
ly, apparently without the slightest injury.
But the habit once Fixed, it must be con,
tinued, or death is the certain result. The
effects upon the horse are nearly similar,
it acts as powerful tonic, giving to the
coat lustre which no degree Of grooming
can produce, and We have been told that
the magnificent appearance Of the coach
horses in Vienna IS to be attributed to its
general use in the stables but let the
supply be discontinued, and the horse
Immediately falls into state Of marasuus
and piniDg atrOphy, terminating in a
speedy death. A new trick-that Of
naicOtiziug horses--has been recently dis
covered in France, and IS thus described
in the London Medical Record:
" We learn (says the London Medical
Record) from the Gasetts Medicale de
Bordeaux that al eminent veterinary sur
geon has informed the Medical and Surgi-
cal Society of that city that the coaehmen
Of certain families had been for some time
in the habit Of administering choral to
the horses in their charge, so as to make
them easier to ride or drive. 1t appears
that the drug acted ike charm, for hor-
ses which had previously been so spirited
as to give much trouble to their drivers
became as quiet as lambs after few days
of this hypOsthenic treatment This great
change naturally attracted the attention Of
the owners Of che animals, and they sent
for the veterinary surgeon to ascertain the
cause Of this sudden gentleness. That
functionary noticed certain tendency to
sleep in the animals, but scarcely knew to
what to refer this unusual condition, when
in one Of his visits he CHANGED to find a
bottle half full of choral. Here, then,
was the cOrpas delieti; and when the
veterinary surgeon questioned the delin-
quent coachman as to the use he made Of
the drug, the latter, after much hesitation,
owned that, following the advice of
brother whip, he gave his horses dose Of
chloral every morning to make them go
quietly, and, further, that many Of the
in Bordeaux followed the same

Statistical.

CONDITION OF THE Iron ISDUsrRY.-
The secretary of the American Iron and
Steel Association, Jas NJ. Swank, of
Philadelphia, has just completed accurate
statistics Of the production of pig-irOu in
the United States during the year 1874.
The figures he gives will surprise the pub
lie and startle the ironmasters themselves
for they show production almost as large
as that Of prosperous years, aud contradict
the universally received opinion that the
trade is at so low an ebb as to be on the
brink of ruin. Mr. Swank's statistics are
made up from full reports from all the
furnaces 10 the country and must be ac
espted as conclusive. The total produc.
ton Of pig metal in 1874 was 1859, 4l3
net tons, against 2,s6s,27s net tons in
1873, and 2,s54,55s net tons in 1879.
showing decrease of 1885 tons as
compared with 1873, and of emily 1875, 1856
tons as compared with the prosperous year
1872. This year the general prospect is
not 50 good, 1913 out Of 7O1 furnaces hav.
ing been idle since last February.
Donations to the building fund of Yale
theological department amounted last year
to ssi 100; to the chapel fund, $500, and
to the Law school, $4,000. The total re.
ceipts of the college were 1881 1884. The
term bills were 1877. Instruction in
the academic department cost s42, 1888;
the art school cost sl0,7s5; the Sheffield
school, s54,sS3; the theological depart
ment, s2s,37l; the medical department,
$3.50; the law school, s34s5; aud the
philosophical department, sl459.
The Chief of the Bureau Of Statistics
furnishes the following statement, showing
the number Of immigrants who arrived at
the port Of New York during the month
Of May, 1875, as compared with the cor.

boats. Allthis wheat he has now in his own
warehouses, ready for shipment when the
