Choking.

6aCh.oking is by no means uncommonto the
horse. 1t may arise from various causes.
from the existence Of tumors, or the re-
suit OF strangles. But choking proper is
caused by the impaction of food in the
pharynx, or In the gullut just below it,
when the shigh choke" can be recognized.
When choking results from stoppage in
the position above named, the animal
gives evidence of great suffering, dis
charge flows from the nostrils, and frotll
appears over the mouth and lips; the ewes
assume contested and anxious express
sion, the breathing becomes laborious, tc-
tanic SYMPTOMS of the neck are associated
with efforts to vomit, and give evidence
that the attempts Of the horse to remove
the offending impaction are futile. But
relief must be afforded, and that quickly.
if life is to be preserved, which can be
attempted by placing balling iron in
the mouth, and then by passing the hand
to the pharynx, when sometimes the OBJ
structlon can be reached and brought
away with the fingers; at other times it
cannot.
When such is the case thick piece of wire
terminating with hook, adapted both as
must be carefully worked behind the
impeachment. of whatever nature it
maybe, and then in one mass.
or bit by bit, 1t must be taken
away from tn gullet. Sometimes the OBJ
strucktlon consists of some hard substance
such as an egg, which may wholly ac-
cupy the pharyngeal opening. When
such IS the case it will be useless to at
tempt its removal with hook; a large
darnlng needle, or better still fine tro-
car, can be driven into the subsistence
when tho contents of the egg can be
evacuated the she'll broken down. and
symptoms of the " high chockc' will
subside and olmost Immediately disappear
When an obstruction occurs at the tho
racic end of the gullet--s. g., just before
its entrance into the stomach.it is call
ed the 'low choke" the SYMPTOMS of
which are not so violent as those occa
stoned when food is impacted near the
pharynx. The horse the subject of it
evinces signs Of distress he breathes la.
boriously, and arches his back; as he at
tempts to swallow water it is returned by
the nostrlls; when an attempt is made to
eat an effort to vomit follows, associated
with tetanic spasams of the ctreyical
muscles. Immediately on the appear
ance of these SYMPTOMS administer to the
horse aquarter Of a pint of linseed oil
and afterwards pass the proiang down TO
the Gsophagus: and when the offending
substance has been reached maintain
steady pressure until it has been driven
bodily into or dispersed bit by bit into
the stomach. About an hour after the
probang has been withdrawn, place
bran mash before your patient. If he
eats without exhibiting any inclination
to vomit, you may rest assured that the
horse has been successfully unchoked

A BGLD ESCAPE.

The story OF Press Gangs Victim.
Some time during the month of Jnne,
1909, the American brig Sarah entered the
port of Liverpool with a full cargo. She
was commanded by Captain William
Brown, and his first mate was Tom Mac
donough, true hearted Yankee sailor,
from somewhere in the little State of Del
aware After the brig had been duly en-
tered at the custom house, she was soon
cleared of her cargo, and Within one week

Tom Marlborough took stroll up into
the town, was seized by press gang, and
in less than half an hour found himself
on board an English frigate which lay at
the mouth Of the river.
GA fine set Of men," said an English
captain, as he ran his eyes admiringly
over the stalwart forms Of the impressed
seamen. ''They will just fill up the
list Of our maintopmen.

who had just spoken.

"Then, sir, Of you demand my i'm

The captain showed little anger as
our hero spoke, but turning to one Of his
lieutenants, he said:
ttMr. Monson, have these mems names
entered, and then station them and mess
them - and, without further remark, he
walked aft to his cabin.
In moment Toms mind was made up
and without resistance or remark Of any
kind he allowed his name to be entered
on the pursur's books, and his station

A Parrots Practical Joke.

In his new volume on the voyage of the
Challenger, Sir G. Wyville Thomson re-
lates an incident which may be cited in
proof that animals are not destitute of the
sense of humor. The vessel stopped at
a port Of Bahia, Brazil, and some of the
voyagers went to Santo Amaro, town
about twenty miles distant There new
line of tramway had recently been
laid, with sharp incline, to a
steamboat wharf. DR.. Thomson's
party arrived in season to take the tria
trip on the new tramWay. AS the truckl
that carried the party went down
the incline the agonized cries
of a child, followed by low means, were
heard apparently from beneath the wheels.
Instantly the break was applied, and the
truck stopped with sudden jerk. The
scientific party jumped out and looked
around and under the track in vain. A
lot ofswarthy native children stood near
the rails, looking on vaguely and curious
ly but not as if anything had happened
to any Of their number. When the pas
sengers, mystifed, returned to their seats,
a parrot, banging in a cage on the truck,
burst out into loud, knocking laugh,
and was at once recognized as the per
former in the previous screaming and
moaning. Although DR.. Thomson is not
familiar with Bahian patois, he is con-
vinced that the observations thereupon
addressed by the truck drivers to the
parrot included some vigorous language.

In the Courier JournaIs society column
Of last Sunday appeared the following
item:
The cards are out announcing the mar
riage Of Mr.. Thomas A. Cooke to Miss
Mamie Vanning, both of Memphis, Tenn.
Mr.. Cooke spent last winter in this city
and will be pleasantly remembered by his
many lady friends and also by the mem
bers of the Louisville Light Artillery.
This is probably intended as a joke on
MI. Cooke, but as there is no such a per.
son as Mamie Vanning in Memphis, and
he has issued no cards of this kind, it is
not so much of a joke after all. Besides
it might seriously interfere,with any con.
templated engagements here OF elsewhere
To report that a man is about to get mar.
ried, when there is no hope of it, is cruel
