TINE CAUSE OF the RAIN.

Away by the shores Of the ocean blue,
In peacefulpess known to the lonely few,
The wife and child Of . sailor true
Lived and toiled together.
Full many weird aud pleasing tale
Was told the boy, Of sea and sail,
OF floating berg and northern gale,
OF clear and cloudy weather.
Adowu the west the king Of day
Was Fastening through the gates away,
la oil his golden bright array,
When home returned the skipper.
At evening, strolling on the sand,
He told the boy Of many \ land,
And slowly traced with HE brawny hand
The oross and the starry dippcr.
Twas midnight, and unfit for rest,
The boy stole softly from his nest,
To watch the moon in clouds Of the west
Play hide and seek with the water.
plaugh at the wind in the wild, wild race,
And again the starr of the heavens to truce;
But he thought that the dpper was out of
place.
And veiled Andromeda's daughter.
The sea was mad, for the wind was high,
The huge black clouds would soon go by.
But down fell torrents of ruin from the sky
And awoke the sleeping skipper.
And suddenly long and loud laughed he,
When the voice of his child broke forth In
glee,
"Oh father. the king of the Northern sea
Has upset his starry dipper."
Emily Blake, in Boston Transcript.

A Woman's Curiosity Satisfied.

The proverbial curiosity of women
led to q smash-up at the Continental
Colliery, near Pottsville, Pa. recently.
The slope engineer went home to his
dinner, and the fireman remained III the
engine house waiting for his wife to ap-
pear with his lunch. She being con-
siderably behind time, the fireman be-
came restless with hunger and started
for home. While he was gone, the
wife, by another route, appeared at the
engine house with his dinner. The fire.
man not returning Immediately, his
wife got tired waiting and commenced
examining the pictures pasted around
the room. This soon grew monotonous,
and in casting about for something else
to entertain herself with, she spied the
lever that starts the huge engine. She
wondered what that particular piece of
iron was used for. First, she admired
its smoothness, and then she marveled
at its cleanliness. Becoming bolder,
she gave it a sudden jerk. There was a
burr and whiz, and the ponderous
machinery started as though animated
with the breath of life. The woman
clutched the lever in the hope of plac-
ing it as she found it, but to her horror
it only increased the speed of the ma
chinery. The drum was creaking and
revolving with terrible rapidity; the
piston rods flew in and out of the cylin-
der like lightning. The steam escap-
ing Kissed like fury, and the woman
with shrek rushed for the open air.
just then the wagon that started from
the bottom when she started the ma
chinery came out of the slope like n
shot, landing on the top of the engine
houses, MASKING and crushing it into
pieces. There was no work next day.

SO.Called Founder.

In the beginning of the disease re-
move the shoes, and rasp down the
heels and edges around the hoof, so
that the bearing of the animals weight
comes entirely on the sole and frog;
then place the forefeet in tub of warm
water during half an hour, and repeat
this three or four times daily during
two days; thereafter apply hogs lard
or some softening ointment to the feet
daily. Leave the animal without shoes
in a roomy box stall or comfortable
shed, with plenty of bedding. To keep
such an animal tied up in a stall with
inclining or sloping floor is objec-
tionable; he must have liberty to fire.
quently change his position, which can
not be afforded in single stall.
As soon as the shoes have been re-
moved and the feet pared as directed,
the horse should be given n laxative
dose of medicine; for which purpose
dissolve from one to one and half
pounds of Glauber's salts in quart of
hot water. adding to the solution an
ounce of ground ginger, and give the
whole in one dose: then give every
hour, during six hours, ten to fifteen
drops of tincture of aconite; afterward,
during two or three days, give, morn
ing, noon and evening, each time, four
ounces of solution of acetate of am
monia, with an ounce of sweet spirit OF
inter, in 4 half pint of cold water. If.
after three or four days, much pain and
tenderness should remain, fly blister
may be applied round the coronet, to 4
space of three fingers width. The
horse should be tied so as to prevent his
interfering with the blister (by rubbing
it with his mouth, during six hours
after the application of the blister.
From the beginning he should be
kept quiet, in comfortable, well ven-
tilated place, and be well blanketed to
excite perspiration. The food, which
should only be given in limited quantity,
should be of a loosening nature, such
as a mixture of steamed oats, bran and
fiaxseed meal, together with only very
little hay, which should not be timothy.
When the urgent symptoms have dis
appeared, the horse should be given
liberty in the barnyard during day
time, when weather permits, and dur,
ing summer be placed on PASTURE

Historic HOubts.

1t has been strongly doubted whether
Joan of Arc ever suffered the punish
ment that has made her a martyr,
though details of her execution and
last moments grace the civic records of
Rouen. Several books have been pub
lished discussing the question. A Bel
gian lawyer is the author of one of
these. He contends that the historians
who have done nothing but copy each
other in the narratives of her death
err exceedingly i'm saving that it took
place on the last day of May, l473, the
fact being that she was alive and well
many years after that date. There are
good grounds, too, for believing that
the pretty tale of Abelard and Heloise
is n pure fiction.
Nobody has yet unridd,ed the mys-
tery of the Man in the Iron Mask. and
nobody seems likely TO do so, while the
identity of the writer of the Junius'
letters is as far from being settled rs
ever. These are two insoluble enigmas,
impenetrable mysteries that battle solu-
tion, and about which, perhaps, the
public has become tired of surmises.
An extremely witty and characters
tic anecdote told of Lord Eeaconstield
will bear repetition. An adherent from
n distant county brought his two sons
to the then Mr.. Disraeli. and asked him
to give them a word of advice ON their
introduction into life. Never try to
ascertain" said the illrs.rious states
man to the elder boy, '.who was the
Man who wore the Iron Mask, or YOU
will be thought n terrible bore. Nor do
you," turning to the second, Task who
was the author of 'Junius,' or you will
be thought bigger bore than your
brother"
Walpole wrote an ingenious work to
show-taking for his base the conflict
ing statements in history and biography
that no such person rs Richard Ill.
ever existed, or that if he did he could
have been neither tyrant nor an hunch-
back. .'Historic Doubts relative to
Napoleon Bonaparte" was published in
London in 1910. and created widespread
amusement because of its amazing
cleyerness. Napoleon, who was at the
time n captive ut St. Helena, admired
the composition greatly. Archbishop
Whately and Sidney Smith were both
reputed TO be the author. Since the
publication of that skit numerous imi-
tations have been issued, but none have
| shown much originality or literary
skill, and have therefore vanished into
the darkness of merited oblivion. Lon

THEY were four Brooklyn u. " hobblc-
dehoys of from fourteen to eighteen years,
they had been studous readers o: the flash
story papers and dime novels, and they de-
cided to go West and have adventures. But
there was difficulty in the way; they had no
money. After consultation they resolved to
procure the necessary funds rs some of the
heroes of their favorite stories had done, to-
wit, by turning robbcr. Accordingly they
ran away from home, took possession of an
old stable which had the name in the neigh
borhood OF being haunted elected the oldest

of their new profession. Bat things didn
turn out as they had done in the stories. The

man, got its eve on them. and NOW all four
are locked up, and the Western adventures
indefinitely postponed.
