Educatiug Horses.

Horses can be educated to the extent
of their understanding. as well as chill
dren can be easily damaged or ruined
by bav management. 1t is believed that
the great liability comes more from the
different management OF men than from
variance of natural disposition in the
animals. Horses with mettle are more
easily educated than those of less or dull
spirits, and are more susceptible of ILL
trainHg, and consequently may be as
good or bad, according to the education
they rereive. Horses with dull spirits
are not by any means proof against bad
management, for in any of them may
often be found the most provoking OBJ
stinacy, vicious habits of different char
acters that render them almost worth
less. Could the coming generation OF
horses in this country be kept from the
days of colthood to the age of five years
in the hands of good, careful managers.
there would he seen vast difference in
the general character of the noble AMI
mails.
If colt is never allowed to get an
advantage it will never know that it
possesses q power that man cannot con-
troll, ana if it be made familiar with
strange objects it will not be skittistl
and nervous. If horse is made accus-
toned from his early days to have OBJ
iects hit on his heels, back and hips. he
will pay no attention to the giving out OF
harness or of wagon running against
him at an unexpected moment: A gun
can be fired from the back of horse. an
umbrella held over his head, buffalo
robe thrown over his neck, a railroad
engine pass close by, his heels bumped
with sticks, and the animal take it all as
the natural condition of things, il only
taught by careful management that. he
will not be injured thereby. There is a
great need OF Improvement in the man
agement of this noble animal, less beat
ing and more educating.

Nihilist VENGEANCE.

The Moscow Gazette publishes the fol-
lowing: A young man, nineteen
wears old, named Nicholas Gorinevich,
= student at the Gymnasium Of Nef,
was induced to join the Nihillst circles: !
But what he saw and heard created such
horror and repugnance in his breast
that he withdrew from them: HIS
former associates became alarmed lest he
should betray them, and the case haV'
ing been referred to the executive COM
mittee he was sentenced to death. Sus-
pecting that his life was in danger he
fed to Odessa but he could not 80 easily
escape. He was induced one evening to
90 to a. rendezvous in a retired place,
and was there set upon by several per-
sons. who lett him for dead. TO pre-
vent his recognition one of the assailants
poured quantity of vitriol over his
face. In this condition he was found
by the police next morning; but as ne
seemed to be still alive they conveyed
him to hos pital, where he wasso well
cared for that after some time ne was
able to be removed to St.. Petersburg,
where an inquiry into the Nihilislc
propagan da was going on. His rlgnt
hand and leg were paralyzed and his
face presented an awful appearance.
The acid had quite consumed the greater
part of the flesh; nose, ears, hair were
quite gone, and he had lost his sigct
utterly. He tried to put an end to his
lot but was prevented. At last a phi
lanthropic person obtained PERMISSION
to remove him to his estate IN Inc
country, where, tis said. he now seems
more reconciled with his lot.

A Wild Bull on q Steamer.

One day. not long since, an extraor-
dinary scene was caused, as Scotch
paper puts it, by the "caprice Of
bufl on board the steamer Sheila, run
ming between Brodick and Largs, on the
Firth of Clyde. The day was very
stormy. and it appears that the heaving
and rolling of the boat excited the ami
NAL to such an extent that it broke
loose from the cords with which it was
fastened and dashed hither and thither
among the passengers, causing them to
hy in all directions. Finding its way
aft, il cleared the cabin end OF the
steamer very speedily. passengers fleeing
at its approach, and leaving their effects
in the shape of umbrellas, wraps, bags
and portn,anteaus to take care OF them
selves. When it had quite cleared the
cabin it began to break UP MI the fittings
at hand in the shape Of forms, gratlngs
and glass. Then. IL dashed up stars;
cleared the hurricane deck, and rusned
down the steerage steps. Thc state Oh

Typhoid Fever from Diseased Meat.

An epidemic Of typhoid fever, inter-
esting in its etiology lowed musl-
cal festival at Zurich, in May, 1878.
Out of some seven hundred assistants,
i've hundred were attacked by the dis
ease, OF whom one-hundred died. The
symptoms could not be mistaken. and
the autopsies confirmed the diagnosis.
A minute inquiry into the circumstan!-
ces left but little doubt that the cpl
demic was due to the use of bad veal
furnished by IN innkeeper of the place.
1t may be claimed by those who attri..
butte to general causes the power OF
originating specific diseases that the
TYPHOID fever was due to septic poison
present in the veal, depending possibly
on beginning fermentation which was
not destroyed by the cooking to which
it had been submitted. On the other
hand, as the animal from which the
meat taken was sick, it may be asked
whether it might not have been suffer-
ing from typhoid fever, although this
disease has never yet been recognized
among animals. It is remarkable fact
that in 1889 a similar but much less To-
tai epidemic occurred in neighboring
locality. After reunion that took place
under similar circumstances four. hum
dred and forty persons were taken SICK
with all the symptoms of typhoid fever.
1t is probable that in this case also the
meat of a sick calf gave rise to the dis
ease,-JouTaGl de Medicine.

Live Toads in Trees and Stones.

A large toad was found a few years
ago in an old apple tree at Wonham
Manor; it came to light when the tree
was blown down. The Memories of
the French Academic des Sciences con-
tain description of a living toad found
in the heart of an old elm tree. Near
Nantes, when an old oak was cleft open,
q toad was found in the very heart
wood, although no creyice or other
channel of entrance could be detected;
there were about ninety rings in the
trunk of this oak, leading to the infer
ence according to one theory that the
animal must have been in his prison.
house ninety years. Mr.. Jesse, in refer
ence to frog found in the trunk of
mulberry tree. expressed belief that
the annual rings had been gradually but
surely inclosing the reptile. Toads in
CLAW have been more frequently met
with than in trees; sometimes a whole
family have been thus ferreted out
at once. In 1855 toad was found
at considerable depth at Benthall,
near Brosley, Shropshire. Mr.. Bath
urst, earthenware manufacturer at Ben
thall. ascertained that the creature was
met with about six, feet beneath the SUR
face, in a layer of tough clay custom
arily used for making coarse brown
ware. Above this layer, in successive
strata, were ferruginous coal of poor
quality, clay, a loan of clay and gravel,
and meadow-turt at the top. The toad
was found filling cavity as wax does
g. seal. A minute examination of the
superincumbent strata failed to detect
any fissure through which the animal
could have entered. The light of day
seemed at first to distress it. but this it
soon became accustomed to; the eyes
were brilliant, the skin moist, the
mouth quite closed. .-Naae6er's Jour-

The Terrible Strain of the Zulu War.

A friend writing to ME from Zululand,
who has had great experience IN con-
vaiescent camps, says that he has never
met with so many soldiers prostrated
with extreme nervous debility as he
finds at Martizburg, and that their agi-
tation and unrest battles the ordinary
modes Of treatment. l can account tor
this. The Zulu war has been a war in
which IN extraordinary mental strain
has been superadded to no ordinary
amount of hardship. 10 say that the
battle of Isandlana established ''scare"
would not be going too far. Here was
an enemy who might attack ut any time
in overwhelming numbers, who would
march straight up to the mouths of Il
battery of field pieces, who knew no fear
and would show no mercy. To conduct
a campaign successfully against such an
enemy Us this necessitated vigilance oil
the most incessant kind. A few mo-

made, would be fatal fatal not

PimpIes and Sores.

The condition of the skin is anindi-
Gator of the functional states Of the
stomach, liver, kidneys, etc. When
any of these organs are impaired, sick
ness is the result. and the kind OF sick
ness is dependent upon the organ which
is deranged. Dyspepsia, 80 common
in society, is indicative of irregularity
or disease in the stomach. Sores and
pimples show that the skin. does not
art its normal part in throwing of the
effete matter or waste OF the system !;
its pores having become clogged, dlt-
ferent forms Of illness result; fevers,
colds, rheumatism, etc. Sores and pim-
ples show congestion in the part where
they arc situated, and the breaking out
which constitutes a sore, is an effort on
the part of nature to relieve the. syss-
tenn of corrupt material. One who is
troubled with these disagreeable things
should not apply medicated washes or
swallow drugs for their eradication,
but seek to improve the general health,
eating good food, particularly fresh
vegetables and fruits, articles when
serve to cool the blood and soethe the
nervous system.

the countries have been flooded with
pamphlets on the subject. So intense 9
degree of feeling has been aroused
argainst the leading vivisectionists and
their names have been 80 covered with
opprobrium that they have found it ne
cessary to defend themselves earnestly
in public addresses. One of the leaders
in the movement against them is Ernst
Won Weber, the South American ex-
plorer. who wrote book in which he
portrayed experimentation upon living
animals in such forcible colors that a
thrill of horror ran through the reading
public of Germany, and thousands were
straightway ready to take up arms in
behalf of the tormented brute creation.
AS Ernst Won Weber is one of the most
prominent figures in the anti-vivisection
movement, 80 the distinguished physi-
ologist, Prof. Ludwig of the University
of Leipsic, is the head and front of the
fraternity against whom the popular
execration is directed. He and his asso-
ciates disclaim unnecessary cruelty,
argue that vivisection is necessary to
progress in medical science, and en-
deavor to show that the discoveries
made by it have saved enough of fhuman
life and suffering to more than compen-
safe for the pain inflicted upon brutes.
