AN ANT1clPAToRY CENTENNIAL ODE.
Oh ye Powers | what roar, ~
Such was never heard before
! laundering. from shore to shore,
"Uncle Sans q hundred u
Cannon boom and trumpets bray,
Riddles squeak. and foun tatns play
IT'S his great Centennial day
:".Uucle Sans hundredV
stalwart men and puny boys,
Maids and matr0ns swell the NOSE,
Ev'ry baby lifts its voice:
'Uncle Sans handred!"
''Nervous folks who dote on quiet,
Though they're half distracted by it,
Can't help mixing In the riot:
''Uncle Sans hundred !"
Brutes that walk and birds that fly,
On the earth or in the sky,
Join the universal cry,
"Uncle Sans hundred ~
Well, suppose he is-what then?
Don't let's act like crazy men.
Must we take to tooling when

There lie stands-our modern Saul
Head and shoulders above all;
yet, Pride goes before a fau,"

Foreign Uncle Sans will say:
"Let us sit and watch the play
He is but hundred.
"Granted he's shapely youth
Fair and rudd yet, .forsooth!
He's too young--and that's the truth
Only just hundred.
"When he's twice as old, pard'el
Twill he easier to f0rsee
What will be his destiny,
No.u he's but 4 hundred.
"When he's played his boyish pranks,
Should he seek to jim our ranks,
Well reflect. But mono, thanksi
Why he's but hundredi"
Yes, our Uncle's years are few;
He is young--the charge is true;
Let US keep that fact in view,
Though he counts hundred.
Don't let's TEMPT him to ignore
Warnings that have gone before:
Pcrils both by sea and shore,
Now that he's hundred.
Let us strive, with earnest heart,
Each Of US to do his part,
So that he may Escape the smart,
Seeing he's hundred.
And with solemn, grateful thought,
VI the deeds that he has wrought,
Guided, cherished, favored, taught
Till he's reached a hundred.
Let US, as we vaunt his worth,
slingle soberness with mirth,
While we shout to all the earth,
"Uncle Sans q hundred"

FEEDING WORK HORSES.

The Cincinnati Gazette gives the fol.
lowing account of the way Adams Elk.
press Company feed their horses, which
are always not.ceab;y sleek and fat:
The number of horses kept at the
stable is fifty.four. Four hostlers at
tend to these. Promptly at 4 o'clock a..
m. the Waterman at the stable gives to
each horse four ears of corn. Then, about
5 o'clock, the hostlers commence their
duties. Of those under the care of each,
one by one is led to the watering trough
and then to the urinary. This consists
of pit sunken ten or twelve inches be.
low the level of the basement ground floor
and kept completely filled with sawdust
and short shaTings. Ana it is remark
able fact that a horse in the stable
scarcely urinates except at this place,
especially prepared for him. When
horses come in from their work the har-
ness is removed, and they are then led at
once to the urinary. When fresh or green
horse comes to the stable, by being driven
with some old "stager'' that knows the
rules of the stable, the new conner soon
learns to conform the habits of the older
inmates.
From S to o'clock each horse is taken
in hand and thoroughly curriel brushed,
and cleaned, from ten to fifteen minutes
being spent by hostler upon each horse
being spent by hostler upon each horse.
A damp wooden cloth is always rubbed
over the coat Of horse after being cur.
ried and brushed. This serves to re.
move all loose dandruf and to give that
fine, glossy, sleek appearance 80 noticea-
bic in the animals of this stable.
The horses are fed nothing in the morn
ing excepting eight ears Of corn. After
being led back to the stalls when clean
ed. they are then ready for work. The
same process Of currying, brushing, and
cleaning is also gone through with and at
noon each horse is fed with half peck
Of oats. AT night chopped feed is given.
This is composed of sheaf oats or rye
straw passed through a cutter, and then,
when wet, ground oats, corn and bran
mixed up with it. A peck and half Of
this is given to each horse. In addition
to the chopped feed the rack is supplied
with eight or nine pounds Of bright
sweet timothy hay, this being the total
amount of hay which is fed. And per-
haps Of this supply the horse will not
eat more than five pounds during the
night, finishing up the balance during
he day.
While Mr.. Barrett is particular to
give nothing but clean timothy hay in
summer. in cold weather he is willing to
feed hay which is one.third clover. About
once a week peck of oil-cake meal is
mixed up with the chopped feed, being
equal to about third ola pint to horse.
This promotes the uniform good condi.
ton Of the animals. And If It any time
the urine of horse is cloudy and thick
ened, teaspsoonful Of pulverized resin
mixed up with chopped feed is given him.
This acts upon his kidneys, and the diff. 7
ficulty is at once removed.
The horses are given what water they
want Us they come in from work, unless

THE MEDICINE OF SUNSHINE.


The world wants more sunshine in its
disposition, in its business, in its charities,
in its theology. For ten thousand of
the aches and pains and iritations of men
and women we Recommend sunshine. It
sosths better than morphine. It slim.
ulates better than champagne. It is the
best plaster for. a wound. Tho good
Samaritan poured out in the fallen travel.
ler's cash more Of this than of vine or oil.
Florence Nightingale used it on Cr;mean
battlefields. Take it in all the alleys, on
board all the ships, by all the sick beds.
Not phia. full nor decanter full, but
a soul full. It is good for spleen, for
liver complaint, for neuralgia, for rheu-
matism, for falling fortunes, for melan.
choly. We suspect that heaven itself is
only more sunshine.
