SURFEIr.- disease Is frequent at
this season Of the year in horses that
have been we'll fed and are In good
condition. 1t appears in the shape Of
small tumors on tho body and legs,
which discharge and form scsbs, mat
ting the hair, which is sometimes re-
moved from the spots. The cause is
generally stoppage OF the perspira-
tion by means Of a chill, and the con-
sequent obstruction OF the pores and
and glands OF the skin. The treat
ment should be to feed bran, cut hay
moistened with cold water, and salt,
and to give an ounce Of saltpeter in
the feed twice a week. A few half
ounce doses OF sulphite (not sulphate.
Of soda will be- useful.

THE MATTER WELL PUT.-The
Philadelnhia Press truiy saws.


Philadelphia Press truly says:
"Why should Mr.. Belknap. for ex-
ample, have thought that man in his
high Office could not have the most
satisfactory social recognition flow
comes it about that $4,000 year is
fatal toa family's social standing ?
Can man get no acknowledgment of
his mental abilities, his wit, or his f.
deity, but must clothe himself in
sumptuous appointments Much is
said in these days of inadequate SAL
aries that they are not enough to
sustain the demands of mans social
position. Is salary then the basis of
social position ? That's the lie in
mems minds that corrupts them 1t
ought not to be tolerated. The time
ought to come back again when man
hood, and integrity, and graces Of
mind and heart should fix man. $
place in public respect, and his title
to social courtesies. Until this point
is gained society is lacquered thing,
or a hollow pageant. No, it is some
thing worse--a heap of fostering,
heated muck and dirt, forcing mush-
room growths and toadstools all over
its surface. There is no valid basis Of
respect but industry and fidelity no
sound social disti ctions but those of
personal ability or culture. When
these are recognized so that these
alone allure men and women in their
ambition to get up in the world, tl,
most formidable temptation to dis
honesty and dishonor will disappear
from our land.

Those who have never tried it have
very little idea how much power a
pound of coal may be made to give out
with good management. A few years
ago an English firm brought together
,he best stokers they could find, by
the offer of prize to the man who
would keep their engine going for the
greatest number of hours with a given
quantity of coal. None but those con-
sidering themselvs experts took part
in the competition. Each man re-
ceived the engine with steam up and
he water at the proper level in the
boiler. He was then given certain
amount of kindling and the quantity
of coal which he was to use. Each
began by making fire, and kept the
engine till his fuel was exhausted and
the engine ceased to move under it's
load, which was the same in each case.
We have not the figures at hand to
give the particulars of the test, but
the results were as follows: The
best man ran the engine $4,000 revo-
lutions, and the others ranged from
10000 to $4,000 revolutions. Here
we have difference Of, say one-half
in the amount Of duty which two men
got out of an engine with given
amount of fuel, under circumstances
as nearly similar as possible; yet the
poorest Of these men was probably
able to run an engine with half the
amount of fuel which would be needed
by stoker of the class usually EN-
ployed in small manufactures.
