Suangles in Horses.

Most persons conversant with horses
must be aware that certain glands lie
Just under the angles of the two jaws,
and run up, in the direction of the ear.
They are the seat of the affection pecnl-
lar to young animals, known under the
name of strangles. Now, it is by no
means infrequent, especially among the
commoner kind of horses, to find these
glands large and fabby in their text
ures. With wen-bred and wel-formed
animals it is often very difficult to find
them at all under the skin. Sometimes.
the abnormal size of these glands is
evidently constitutional, sometimes it
is consequence of disease strangles,
for instance-and sometimes it arises
wholly from the pressure of the angles
of the jaws, especially when these lie
too close together, and the rider OF
driver has attempted to force certain
position, either by the use Of severe
bits, or, what is still worse, a combina-
ton of these with the bearing. rein in
harness. If such state of things be
overlooked or neglected very serious
consequences may arise. The forced
pressure of the jaw-bones on these
glands is sometimes perfectly excruci-
ating to the animal, and it has recourse,
to the great astonishmento of its ignorant
rider or driver, to all sorts of expedients
to get rid of the intolerable pain. 1t
will refuse it's work, or run away, or
throw jtself down, or rear up, or do
anything or everything in it's despera-
Ition, and the brute on it's back or in the

it than to "fog the sulk out OF him.

Edwin Forests Chiyalry.

! The manly elements of Mr.. + orrest's
character made him at all times the
ready champion of the weak and de-
fenseless. He was especially clivalrous
in his conduct TO women. This one
instance is a sample: He was return
ing from New York after successful
engagement in that city, and seated op-
posite him in the car were two young
ladies. They were travelling without
male escort. When the cars stopped at
Newark person entered and took
seat Immediately back of the ladies' T.,
He was of the loud class, full of paste
jewe}ry, impudence and bad manners
The latter was soon painfully apparent
with reference to the ladies. He in
dulged in offensive language, and
seemed to think the whole matter was a
good Joke. In short time the Ian
guage aud the conduct of the man and
! the evident distress of the ladies arrest
ed the attention of Mr.. Forrest. He
| left his seat and, facing the obnoxious
passenger, said: ....=1.. --.t
| Will you please vacate your seat?
You are offensive to these ladies"
"Guess not" replied the man, with
| Gu0 COdIf%j dIu AOuC CAHACooASA "a a
bully and ruffian;"I have paid for
my ticket, and will sit where I please"
"But," answered Mr.. Forrest, and the
color mounted to his cheeks, "yorr
ticket does not give you the right to
insult ladies. That you have done, and
will give you five minutes to vacate
the seat and the car. If you prefer to
leave both by the window, remain, and
you can be accommodated"
Mr.. Forrest then drew his watch from
his pocket and buttoned his coat. The
rutfian took another glance at the deter,
mined eye and stalwart frame of his
opponent, and with murmured threats
Of vengeance left the car. The ladies
, had no further annoyance from him.
This is an authentic anecdote of one
:. whose whole life was, in many respects
q romance.

A Spiders Suspension Bridge.

A new feature in the way of suspen-
sion bridge was recently seen across.
the Housatonic river, short distance
north of Falls bridge. 1t was a single.
thread of spiders web suspended
from a tree On one side to some object
upon the other, betwe en- 300 and 400
feet in length. How did the creature
manage to getitacross? tits conjectored
that the engineering spider must have
calculated the distance, spun thread
of the required length, and then at the
right moment have thrown it out, when
it was carried on the wings of some fa-
voring breeze, to the opposite side,
where it became attached. What was
the spiders object unless to seek some
retired spot to prey, or else to seek new
adventures? It is not known whether
the spider persisted in the attempt at
crossing, or whether it gained the shore
in safety. -Neac Milford oct. } Bay.

Effect of q Lecture.

Miss Corson's lecture on cooking had
a singular effect upon the wife of gen.
tleman residing in Washington. The
gentleman was awakened from a sound
sleep about 2 o'clock in the morning by
a food of gasight in the chamber, COM
ing from the jets in the chandelier,
burning at full head. Standing over
him, evidently in somnambulistic
state, and in pose closely resembling
that of the late Charlotte Cushman in
the celebrated sleep-walking scene of
Lady Macbeth, stood his wife, while in
either hand, and ominously flashing in
the gasight, she grasped the mammoth
carving knife and fork. Curious to
know just what was going to be the de-
nouement of this singular scene, he
kept quiet, while the lady soiloquized:
Hold the carver in an easy position in
the right hand, thus" and she dipped
the point of the huge knife as graceful
| " as q fencing master in the broadsword
exercise. "Then," continued the cuin-
ary student, "bend slightly the left
wrist and insert the fork in the breast
of the turkey, one prong on either side
| of the breast bone," and, s1liting the ac-
ton to the word, she was about to
plunge the fork into her husbands anat-
omy, about where the ribs join the
sternum, when he caught and disarmed
her. She drew back and glared at hin,
for a moment, and then, pushing back
the sleeves of her robe de mutt, pointed
her finger toward him and exclaimed, in
a loud, theatrical manner: "The only
way to reach your husbands heart is
through his stomach!" Since that nigh
this gentleman has slept in another
apartment, with the door bolted and i
stack of trunks piled up against it.

Sensations. After an 0pium Smoke:

De Quincey's Confessions of an
Opium Eater" do not describe those of
an opium smoker, although the feeling
must be somewhat similar. The
strangest dreams overtake the uncon-
scious sleeper, the pipe falls from his
hands, his face becomes ivid, and the
visions that pass before his drugged
fancy are simply delicious. No dream
of pleasure, no fancied beauty, cen
equal the scenes and forms called up in
the visions of the opium smoker. After
half an hour of perfect content and rest
the victim wakes to find that with the
dawn of reason comes the waking, rack
ing brain. The head feels about ten
times its usual size, and the feeling
about the heart is most painful. -Er-
