Hot Air Baths for stock

AT a late meeting Of the Royal
Agricultural society Of Ireland, Lord
Scriven made some statements ad-
vocating the use Of tho hot air or
Turkish bath as aremedy for diseases
for domestic animals. An expert
ence of over four years in the use Of
these baths, proved conclusively that
they would cure all ordinary diseases
Incidental to horses and all farm
stock The remedy seemed special
ly valuable in cases Of collie, dysen-
terry, lung complaints and swellings
or infamma ions Of any kind II
even cured cases Of sturdy (water on
the brainl in sheep-a disease gener-
ally considered incurable by English
veterinarians. Lord Scriyen found
these baths quite protective against
approaching disease. a single bath
threw off all premonitory symptoms
and cured the disease at It's inception
When his msD and horses bad been
exposed all day in inclement weath
er they were thoroughly dried and
warmed at night and all injurious
consequences were ayerted. In
several cases animals which had
previously been barren bred readily
after q course Of treatment in the
hot room. An occasional bath seem
ed to make animals that were fatten-
ing, increase in weight and flesh
much faster than if not 80 treated.
A more lengthy report Of these ex-
periments, which is published by the
Milwaukee journal Of Commerce
and from which we condense these
facts, fails 10 state just how these
baths are applied but nom a report
in a foreign paper we learn that a
close room was built at a convenient
distance from the stationary engine
il use and the walls of this room be-
ing double, the escape steam Is
thrown around the room which Il
thus heated up to $50 degrees or loC
degrees without injuring the contain
ed air for the purpose Of respiration
Lord Scriven states that dogs, which
have once been cured by being con
fined in this bath room, viii scratch
at the door for admittance whenever
anything sils them. Horses anC
cattle seem TO enter with pleasure
after having been once treated. a
vigorous "Shampooing" (rubbing)
adds very materially to the effect o
the hot air bath, especially in all
cases of swelling, sprain or inaamma
tion. A single application usually
cured severe cases Of garget. The
remedy is simple and where it can b'
applied without much expense j:
worth a trial in this couGtry.--CoHa

A village ON lee.

\ Michigan paper gives the toll
lowing description OF an arctic scene
in that State:
The present season Is peculiarly
calculated to encourage the fishing
business on the Saginaw river and
the bay. Not many men 10 this re-
gion, whatever their position or busi-
ness, feel as if they could afford to
idle away the winter months, if any
thing can be found by which an hon
est penny can be turned Conse-
quently the fishing business has re-
ceived an unusual stimulus To en-
/ gage regularly in fishing with nets
Irequires more capital than is to be
found living around loose every day
in the lumber regions. From $1,000
to s., 600 may be very readily put in
to nets and other articles Of outfit,
but TO spear fish through the ice is a
business that may be taken up by
feyen the impecgniOus with little or
10 trouble The spear costs but a
moderate sum, and almest any one
can get a blanket or two. Then q
shanty is needed, to be located on the
ice in a convenient place, and to
serve as a shelter and a resting place
at night. To get up a shanty Of
common style required about $50
/ feet Of half-inch match ceiling. This
makes a tight shanty and costs oaly
about three dollars at the plaBing
mills. Then two dollars more will
I furnish the balance Of the material,
and a small store can be added as
| light cost. 1t will be seen that the
/ fisherman can fit bimself out at very
little expense. IF be has good luck
be may pay for bis entire outfit twice
over in a days spearing. A great

The floating settlement viii doubt
less be much larger this winter
than ever before. In previous sea
sons, it will be remembered, the
I inhabitants Of this village on the ice
were numerous and ambitions enough
to have a regular municipal Organl-
zatiou, with q mayor, etc. We may
expect the arrangements Of this kind
/ the present season 10 be at least as
complete a. ever before. The ineYi-
table saloon was established in con

it would not be very surprising to

replied, "Fisher;" whereupon he said
'look out" at the same time drawing q
revolver and attempting to fire. The pis-
tol snapped twice, and Fisher tried to
draw his out, but it was caught in his
pants and he concluded to run, and run
he did. The third time the revolver
went off and the ball passed up the
street, nearly striking some gentlemen
talking in front of g. r. ScOtt's store;
the fourth time, and second shot, struck
the south side Of G.. r. Scott's store,
about twelve or fourteen feet above the
ground; no one hit yet. The fifth time
and third shot struck the house again.
By that time the parties were in good
positions, one in front and enc behind
MIR. e. Il. Davis's store, and then up
came our town guardian and arrested
both, and bound them over until next
morning. Wednesday they were tried
before the mayor, who fined each five
dollars ana cost, and bound them over
to the criminal court in one thousand
dollars bond, Then Fisher had States
warrant Issued for JarHegan, who was
arrested and tried and acquitted, and
the State making Fisher pay the cost Of
court. That is the way they do law here.
The bonds were written in such an
Illegal way they were thrown out of
court, and now both are promenading
under victorious colors. There was no
one hurt, and 1t did not commence in

Mr.. Russell then left his store, looking
for Mr.. Fisher. When he found him,
he was standing in front of G. r. Scott's
store; be approached him, and asked
him Fisher If he wrote the note, and
Fisher told him he did not. Several
words were passed, when Mr.. Russell
drew his pistol, and, with an oath, told
him he would give him three hours to

would kill him. On Monday Fisher

Germany and Spstn-BelliEerentk kIRHs
I'm the Political Horizon Of
EurGps.

| New York Herald.i Jaa
The telegraph publishes strange ru-
NOR to the effect that the emperor Of
Germany is much dissatisfied with the
reign of Prince Alfonso, so far as it has
gone. His majesty is angered about
the Gustav affair. He is also disposed
to eeDsure the clerical tendency Of Al
fonso's ministry. 1t seems that the new
government, anxious to deprive the
Carlists Of the sympathy shown by the
Catholic church, made an extreme en-
deavor to conciliate the religious element
in Spain. This was seen in the orders
suppressing the Protestant papers in
Madrid and in raising the subvention
OF the clergy to the extent, if we re.
member correctly, of about eight mill
lions Of dollars. 1t is difficult to un-
derstand upon what pretext the en-
peror OF Germany can attempt to inter-
fere in the internal affairs of Spain.
Ever since German prince, In the per-
son of Charles V occupied the Spanish
throne there has been a hankering after
Spain in the traditions Of German poll
cy. This has largely arisen from the
diplomatic idea, shared by the English
and French, that the true way to limit
the power of France is to establish the
English or the German power in Spain
and the low countries. Our readers will
remember that the last war between
France and Germany arose from the
attempt 10 enthrone German in Mad
rid. And now that the German en-
peror has become the champion Of Pro-
testantism and the enemy of the Roman
church, Spain will furnish him as good
q pretext for inviting the sympathies Of
the Protestant world as any other. This
rumOr only strengthens the conviction
that the complications of the continent
will assume more and more q religious
character. Everything seems to point |
to the next war as a religious war. 1t is
q cruel comment upon our civilization |
that the religion of Christ has developed |
these national apimosities, and that be- |
cause christian men have different opin-
ions about the ordinances and sacra- |
ments of the faith they,should necessari- |
ly plunge into cruel strife. The solu-
ton of the problem may be found in the
fact that religion is not purpose, but a
pretext, and that behind the fulmina-
Jions Of the pope and the intrigues of the
German emperor there is high politi- |
cal am mbition, which is the same now as
It was when Luther, as the representa-
i've of the German nation, made upon
he Roman power the same wal that
Bismarck is waging now.
