Wild Animals Burned Alive.

At nine o'clock in the morning fire broke out on J. N. French's premises, known as the Five-mile House, a short distance beyond the city limits of De troit, Mich, destroying, among other valuable property, number of wild beasts, constituting the remainder of his once famous menagerie. Mir. French was once a well-known snowman, but few years ago disposed of his circus in- terests and removed his animals to his farm, renting them out during the sum- mer months to travelling menageries. The animal barn was a large wooden structure. 200 feet long, containing Q row ofstrong, iron-barred cages. When the fire was discovered the whole in terior of this place was in flames, and the air resounded with the frantic cries of the frightened animals, which sprang fiercely against their bars in vain effort to escape. In one corner of the barn was securely chained the huge per forming elephant Sultan, for many years d prominent attraction at the circus performances. Mir. French, at the risk of his life, dashed through the flame and smoke and endeavored to un- loose the great brute, now almost frantic with fear, and whose shrill trumpetings rang out loud and clear above the babel of sounds. But the fastenings were se- cure, and tie flames compelled Mir. French to beat retreat, leaving the poor brute to roast alive where he stood. Every living inmate of the shed was soon burned to death, and sall that was left was mass of glowing embers and red--hot cages. The animals de stroyed consisted of five performing lions, once claimed to be worth $l2,000, but since depreciated in value; the ele- phant, two California lions, an ibex, three kangaroos, one tiger, one zebra that had been trained to tr2f in harness, a sacred COW and her sacred calf, and a Rocky mountain big-her1f&d deer. Be- sides these there was stored in the building collection of stuffed animals of great value to the owner, circus para phernalia upon which no stated value can be placed, and many other things which, while not figuring in the pro- prietor'sT estimate of loss, were, never theless, of great value to him.
 The scene during the fire baffies de- scription. Two of the lions fellupon each other and fought desperately, and the cries and struggles of other inn prisoned brutes were pitiful. Fears were entertained that an animal might escape alive among the crowd of spectators, and dozen men hastily armed themselves to shoot down any poor, maddenMl, bowling beasts, should they break through the gordon of flames, but these precautions were unnecessary, every one perishing. Mir. French's loss is Sl5,o00, and he had about Sls,000 insurance. ia small lots, on ths animals.

Shoeing Horses.

The Rev. w. H. H. Murray, an au- thority on horses, has these words to say about horseshoeing The nails should be quite small and driven in more gently titan is the custom. There is no reason why the smith should strike a blow at the little nail head as strong as he would deliver at the head of a spike in an oak beam. The hoof of horse Is not an oak stick, and the delicately pointed and slender headed nail is not a rough iron spike, and yet you will see the mailer whack away at them as if it was matter Of life and death to get them entirely set in at two blows of his hammer. Insist that the mailer shall drive his nails slow
 ly and steadily, instead ofusing violence. In this case, if his nail is badly pointed and gets out of proper line of direction, no great injury is done. 1t can be with drawn and a new one substituted, with out harm having been done the foot. But the swift. blind and violent way prevents all such care, and exposes the horse 10 temporary. if not permanent in- jury. Gentleness should be exercised in clinching the nails. Never allow the smith to touch q rasp to the outer sur
 faee of the hoof. Nature has covered it with q thin filament of enamel, the ob- [ ct Of which Is to protect the inner mem brane and fiber from exposure to water and atmosphere. The enamel is exactly what nature puts on the surface Of your finger nail, reader. Under no circumstances should it ever be touched. If it is removed nature will be wickedly deprived of her needed covering, and cruelty left exposed to the clements.

One loving kiss he gave, one sad goodbye, One tender look, one gentle, fond caress, And then he left me, bathed in wrctchedoeee, My sad heart breaking with wild agony. l saw my love, in dreams, bat yesternight, vision bright from slumbrous moonlit
 lands;
 The loye-pl.eams glowed from hE tlork eyes so
 bright,
 thornless rose he held within his hands, And then hss gentle footsteps softly stept-- 1 felt his fond arm steal about and fold My trembling form, as was his wont oi old, While close against my heart he steady crept: A dream it seemed, but 'tis dream no more, For he, my love, is with me as of yoro.

Compiexional Indications.

The complexion of persons whose digestion is out of order, who are bilious, or who lack yiSor, always exhibits an unhealthy tint. It is by regulating the bodily organs and promoting digestion and assimilation, that the parchment hue, indicative of ill-health, is banished from the cheeks. To rectiiy the fault ot a sallow complexion, use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an invigorant and alterative which removes those obstacles to renewed strength, physical comfort and personal attrectiveness-an i'm perfect digestion and secretion, and a dsor- dered condition of the bowels. Persistence in the use of this inestinable corrective and tonic will assuredly result in renewed physical regularity and vigor, will tend to increase bodily substance, and cause the glow and clear color of health to return to the sallow, waste

1" Practical Science. :"

Under the above heading the St. Croix Courier, of St. Stephen, N. B., in referring to the analysis of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Sages Catarrh Remedy, re- gently made by Professor Chandler, of Now York, and others, says: 'Nothing was dis covered which we think objectionable, and the published analysis should increase, rather than retard, their sale. To us it seems little un just to call man quack simply because he seeks to reap as much pecuniary reward as other classes of inventors" The English press is conservative, yet, after careful examination of all the evidence, it net only indorses but recommends the Family Medicines manutac- tured by Dr. Pierce. No remedies ever offered Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
 Published testimony establishes the tact that ScOvilrs Blood and Liver Syrup is a sterling remedy for scroiulous and syphilitic disorders of formidabie type. Also that 1t cures white swelling, carbuncles, eruptive maladies of all kinds, gout and rheumatism. Ii moreover promote a secretion and flow of healthy bile and directs it into the proper channels. The deplorable ailments produced by mercury are also remedied by it. Druggists sell it.
 "A SLIGHT COLD" OR CoUGH.-Few are aware of the importance of che clxing cough or " slight cold /" which would yield to mild remedy; ii neglected, often attacks the lungs. "Brown's Bronchial Troches" give sure and almost immediate relief. -.
