Ne,c Bone Cdrern in Ireland. The
bone cave at Shandon near Dungaryan,
in the county OF Waterford, accidently
discovered some twenty years ago, was
the first Irish cave which produced an
imal remains belonging TO the pleisto-
Gene period. In il were found remains
OF the mammoth horse, bear. wolf and
reindeer. Another cave has recently
been found near Cappoquin, at DIS
tance of abont seven miles from the
Sna ndon cave. This new cavern is OF
large size, and appears 10 have been oc-
cupied AT a very remote period by bears,
portions of whose skeletons are 10 be
met with on the lower deposits of the
floor; bnt the chief interest In this dis
coyerV rests in the fact that remains OF
the great Irish elk -Hegdccros Hiberni-
cas- J were found in it, In conjunction
with the bones of other deer and oi
bears, and along with Il polished green
stone celt neolithic) and several stone
rubbers. There were also some remark
able and strong evidences niet with oI

| Irish elk, for Professor Leith Adams
in whose preseuce these remairs were
taken out OF the cave, and by whom they
were packed up for further observation
says that macy of the houes of the meg,
acerOs were evidently split for theiI
marrow, and several elk canuon-bones
were found fashioned into avis anC

An Important Geological Fact.

Geology has shown us that nature
accomplishes her greatest revolutions
in the earth's surface conformation
SioIciy. Every year the river makes its
channel deeper, and the glacier wears
deeper gorge in the A lpine rock. and
the ocean tide deposits the sand il has
crumbled from the rocks upon which it
breaks. We note the earthquake and
the devastating hurricane; but these
changes are SO gradual men seldom OBJ
serve them until the channel has be-
come oyerhaHging cliffs, or a mountain
has disappeared before the icy stream,
or the ocean has given us a Florida.
Thus it is in disease. Our attention is
attracted by acute diseases, as feyers,
cholera, etc., while chronic diseases
(often the most dangerous in reSultl,
being slow in their development, are
seldom noticed until they have made an
almost ineffaceable impression upon the
system. Persons believing themselves
comparatively healthful are ofttimes
the victims of these diseases, and only
become aware of their presence when
relief is almost impossible. Disease of
the liver and stomach are the common
est of these chronic affections. DIR.
Pieree's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets are never
falling remedies for these diseases.
They produce healthful secretion of
bile, prevent indigestion by regulating
the bowels, and impart vigorous tone
to the whole system.

Something About sharks.

i gentleman resldILg III SIuSertes,
y. Y, who followed the sea in the
whaling business for many years, says
the impression many people have that
a shark can bite a mans limb OF or bite
him in two il erroneous The sharks
teeth are in layers or rows. and are
small, saw edged. thin and sharp q, ra-
zors, but very brittle, so much So that
the moment they bite on any hard sub
stance they break off, rendering it ut
terly impossible for them TO bite bone
in two. Three of these rows of teeth
are ordinarily in use, and when broken
are naturally replaced by those further

to nails in the human hand or fO'lO

AGRICULTURE.

HoRsEsHoEING. Perhaps, never
since the first horseshoe was invented,
has its evil been so great as at the pre-
sent day. One of the great errors is so
many new ideas of shoes. From the
veterinary to the lawyer. has tho brain
been racked for some new tangled
idea, supposed to be benefit TO the
horse-if not the horse, the inventors
pocket. There is the Goodenough, the
Seeley, theJ ohm Billings. the Keystone
and numerous others. Each OF them
has been trying to benefit the speed or
draft of the horse, forgetting that the
usefulness OF the horse depends on'the
adaption of the shoe to the foot, not to
the ground. | find that lameness in
most cases is caused either by the shoe
made too narrow at the quarter and
cutting the foot to fit the shoe or the
shoe being concaved or beveled from
the outer edge inward. Every time
the horses weight presses on the shoe
it produces contraction instead of ex-
pansion, causes fever in the foot, there
by DESTROYING the healthy condition
of the frog and causing it to shrink
from its wonted size, thus preventing
ir giving the moisture and elasticity
thai nature intended it 10 supply to the
foot. The bones of the foot are three
in mum berthe coffin bone, the navicu-
lar bone and part of coronet bone.
| These are contained Within the hoof and
combine 10 form the coffin Joint; but
The smallest Of them-the navicular
bone-is OF far more Importance as
connected with the shoeing than eth
cr of the others. Upon the healthy
condition of this bone, and the joint
formed between il and the tendon,
which passes under it to the collin bone,
and is called the nayicular joint, main
| ly depends the usefulness of the horse
| To man. Therefore, IL Is very lmpor-
| tant that the shoe should be so con-
structed as Ia keep the foot in its natllr-
| al state. The manner generally pur-
sued in pairing the foot is to cut away
the sole so it can be dented with the
thumb and finger by pressing hard up
on il: also cutting out the sole between
the bar and the crust at the heel aud
leaving sharp edge on the crust tC
rest on the shoe. which Is fitted 10 the
foot from expanding as il grows up
When the sole ls scooped out so mucl
at the toe the she'll crust of that part
contracts and causes what Is termed
timber toe. While this defect prevails
the hooi, fetlock joint aud tibia (or leg
boue) remain almost in a straight line
80 the horse is obliged To walk on hl'
toes, which causes short stepping and
stumbling, Another error, too gener-
ally practiced, and which causes con-
traction of the heel, is the scoOping oul
tile sole between the bars and crus
which causes the crust 10 harden and
contract, producing what is called corni
which are nothing more or less than
bruises of the sole, resulting from tho
turning in of the crust, causing pres
sure on the bone and lameness.

cool in summer. Ny barn is tightly

WORMS IN SwINE.-Worms in the In
testines OF swine often cause weakness
of the Ions and partial paralysis OF
the hind limbs, This is due to Il loss
of force OF the lum bar system of nerves,
proceeding from the lower part of the
spine, rheumatism, disorder OF the kid
neys, indigestion and parasites in the
muscles of the lOins or iii the bowels.
Ii is almost impossible to indicate the
cause until after death, when, if moro
in the herd are affected, they may be
treated as may be found advisable.
Turpentine applied TO the loins, or Civ
en- internally, acts favorably in nearly
all the above complaints, and is, so Ear
as known, the best remedy, il used in
ounce doses, daily.

form, Small cObs are best keepers,
as the cob contains so large a quantity
of moisture that the ear is liable to re-
tain dampness- \ sound ear that has
ripened early, with grains full and per-
feet, and 4 medium size cob, is the best
for seed. Store the ears in a dry place
from rats and mice, and where an even
temperature can be maintained. Let
the grain remain on the cob until plant
ing time. Shell by hand, and reject
the small grains near the point of the
cob.

a Fox StCry.


4 few days ago, Mr.. Webster of Co
bic hill, New York, was plodding along
after his plow, in deep meditation,
when his attention was attracted to a
large fox trOtting between the two
horses. Now, Webster never gets
nervous nor acts upon the spur of the
moment. in this case he coolly took
in the situation, and carefully revOlyed
the question in his mind of how 70 cap
ture that fox. He soon had it, He
would bury him alive. Suddenly
striking the horses a smart blow, and
engineering The plOw with a don-
ble-jointed twist, over went the fox
and over the fox went a covering
of earth. Nothing but The hind legs
oil the animal were visible, and these
Webster seized, whisked his foxship
out of the and furrow, dashed his brains
out on a stone near by. There are
parties in town who say they have seen
the stone upon which the fox was
dashed, and still others youch for the
fact that Webster was plowing, but as
yet no one claims to have seen the fox.
