The purest spring water if allowed to flow
through new or freshly cleaned ditch will
taste of the ground, and be unpalatable for
while. After time, however, when plants
begin to appear, it will lose its muddy taste.
What vegetation does for the air it also ac.
composites for the water; that is, it absorbs
the injurious gases arising from matter in de-
cay or combustion or given off by the ex-
halation of animals, and converts them into
plants, which in turn furnish wholesome food
for some kind of an animal, from an ele.
plant Gown to the larva of the smallest water
breeding gnat. This fact should be borne in
mind by the fish culturists, who should have
care that that the proper plants be selected
that will encourage and sustain insect larvae
and other forms of lite suitable for fish food,

1t is a very frequent occurrence to hear
farmers talk about "horn alp or s'hollow
horn," and it is a common belief that there is
such disease as this, which not only affects
the horns, but generally disorders the system.
The question is often put to us: Is there such
disease as "horn ailpn To understand nre.
cisely the reply to this question it is necessa.
~ to know the anatomy of the skull of a
horned animal. Thereare two kinds of horns,
Some animals have solid horns, as the deer
in others, as the COW, sheep and goat, the
horn is simply the hollow covering of the
bony core, which is a part of the frontal bone,
and which supports the horn-the horn be-
ing continuation of the skin and having
precisely the chemical composition of the
hair. The horn itself is as devoid of sensa e
tion as the hair or the horn of the hoof. and
is therefore not subject to disease. But the
bony core upon which the horn is supported.
and which is really no part of the horn, but a
part OF the bone of the skull, is highly yascu
lar, and well supplied with nerves; and the
large sinuses of the head-the frontal sinuses
are prolonged into the horn-cores. and
carry with them the highly sensitive mu-
eous membranes with which they are lined.
When this membrane is diseased, as it is yery

the horn. Perhaps the frontal sinuses NAV
be filled with pus as result of disease, and
this would become pressed into the channels
Of the horn cores. If, then, the horns were
bored, as they sometimes are, this pus would
be forced out, escape and relieve the animal: .
or ii some active counter-irritant were applied
to the poll relief might be given. So that the
prevalent idea that the horns are subject to
disease is not altogether devoid of foundation.
although the effect is mistaken for the cause
just as though the furred tongue of a feyerish
person might be thought to be disease OF
the tongue, but we should apply the remedy
to the stomach and not to the tongue So
with what is commonly called horn all in the
great majority OF cases, this is sign that
something is wrong elsewhere, and that the
bony cores of the head and not the horns are
suffering alphabetically with trouble in
another but near locality. As we know
ourselves how subject we are to headaches
arising from great variety of causes, so wa
can easily realize how frequently our cattle
may suffer from disease which NAV affect the

THE PARLOR RIFLE.
Curious and Interesting Tests by ID
w. f. Carver,

w. f. Carver.
The extraordinary challenge issued by
that crack shot, DIR. W. F. Carver, in the
"Rod and Gun" column of last SUNDAYS
Chronicle, has produced so much interest
in sporting circles here, that it was
thought worthy to make report of the
practice which the doctor is now making
daily in order to prepare himself for the
matches he sees in perspective. DR.. Car
yer, in bis contests last year with Bogar-
dus, showed an excellent form in all the
fine points at pigeon shooting and glass
ball breaking, but the most remarkable
part of his challenge was the offer to
shoot with any one in the world for $3.50
or $500; 250 glass balls, his adversary to
use shotgun at thirty yards rise, while
the doctor was to shoot with rifle, the
ball being thrown in the air for him.
This parlor rife is a Ballard of some nine
pounds weight, of % diameter, and We'd
nesday he gave telling exhibit of its
powers by first picking of ground
squirrel that was peeping from its hole at
some eighty PAGES distant. In practicing
at glass balls the thrower is placed at
some eight PAGES distance, and he pfopels
the ball perpendicularly some sekghteen
feet high, and then, as the ball recedes
from its highest point, nine times out of
ten the shooter scatters the remnants to
the air. The performance is certainly a
most remarkable one of course, there is
a knack in it, as there is in all kinds of
flying shots, but the accuracy of aim
appears to be altogether unprecedented.
Thus in twelve balls the doctor missed
but one, and that was thrown almost
directly over him. But after that the
practice was not so good, as the gun re-
quires cleaning at the expiration of about
ten shots. He then took an ordinary
Springfield rifle and broke seventeen out
of twenty balls, and, after this, with the
same weapon. hit thirty-tour.large stones,
thrown in the same manner, out of forty.
After exhibiting some fancy shots that
were quite interesting, he shot with the
parlor rifle three times at half:dollar
spun in the air, and hit it fairly twice
and once so squarely that the bullet
remained in part imbedded in the coin,
and they were both picked up at some
eighty PAGES distant. 1t is certainly a
curious exhibition, and ii DR.. Carver can
exhibit the same skill and dexterity with
pigeons at thirty yards rise he may we'll
be considered the champion rife shot OF
the world. The practice took place at
Shell Mound Park, with dull, cloudy
weather, that enhanced the difficulties
of the tests.-San Francisco Chronicle.
