There is no pathological fact more clearly
asccrtained than that the most formally
phases of nervous diseases are directly trace
able to imperfect digestion. Insomnia. with
it's train of aireful consequences proceeds
more frequently from weakness of the stom
ach than from any other cause. Mere soda.
tives are powerless to cure nervousness. and
soon ceased to palliate Its symptoms. The true
way to strengthen the nervous system is to
invig0rate the digestive ard assimilative or
gans, upon whose unObstruc ted action its
equinOriam is absolutely dependent. The
daily use Of Hostetter's Stomach Filters will
do mora to brace aud soothe the weakened
and irrated nerves. and induce sound, re-
freshing sleep natures grand catholicon.-
than all the so.called nsrvines to bs found in
the pharmacopoeia or out of it. A wineglass-
full Of the Bitters should be taken before
each meal.

Horse Talk.

There is retired trainer named Long, resld-
ing on small farm in Alameda county, who
lives for nothing else but the pleasure of being
near horses. He eats his meals in the stable,
of times passes the night 10 the same stall with
tavorite pony, and among his equine pets isa
mare who whinnies in answer every time he
speaks to he,. Our informant relates that the
mos, perfect understanding evidently exists be-
tween Mr.. Long and at least three out of the
i've horses in the stable. Two are recent addi
uoDs, but even in their case the same affinity
is seen 10 sser degree.
The training Of horses, their obedience, do
cllry, and tricks 10 a circus. are no novelty; all
oil Us have seen horse fire pistol, stand on
two legs, waltz. lie down with its trainer, aud
pclio Ii hundred acts of sagacity, but these
are simply the result ut patient training aud
systematic correction. What Mr.. Long claims
is lar more astounding. He asserts that, IrDm
a ilte long Intimacy with horses, he understands
their speech; he goes further, and declares thar
their nasal, gutteral explodent, and unUbsruc-
ted sounds have different meaning, are used
by the coalition Of the brain and vocal organs,
and that not on do his tavorite horses under
sand him, but that every sOurd which they
utter is perfectly plain to him. When arguing
with him that though he might comprehend
the meaning of the sounds emauatlDg from the
vocal chords of horse, yet 1t Was patent
impusSlbillty tor horse to understand the
Eus ish language, he replied, Living, eating
aud sleeping with my horse has glveo me his
Knowledge | possess, and the same luilmacy
has acquired for NY horses the power claim

you is your friend 'Vesta ? The pony wbin-
MED for about two minutes constcutlVey, and
then, being loose in its STALL walked into the
adjoining one occupied by the mare ~ eSta.
Now" be continued, Id you aud Billy
walk down to your trough and driuk while
make your beds. '''"V est" and Billy" walked
quietly out and proceeded straightto the trough.
While they we're our, Mr.. Long turoed over
the straw carefully with fork, and carried
on an animated conversation with roam geld
ing about fifteen hands high, "Vesta's' neigh
Dor on the other side. The name Of this horse
was Policy" and after talking angrlly to him
ior some miuutes about some fault he had COM
united the day before, he ordered Mr.. Policy
to lie down ADD not 10 get uD until after es-
Ia and Billy" had returned. Que Informant
saw but little 10 this to prove Mr. l. ,ug ) claims,
is many horse will lie down at the word OF
command; but when without word, Policy,
arose and walked out to the water trough after

became as difficult of solution as beforc-Neoos
