Scratches in Horses.

This disease is generally caused

mud c@refolly wiped from them
with q Sisp of hay or straw. As
soon as they are dry, clean thorough
u with brush. Filthy stables,
where the horses slard constantly
9th their feet in the wet, is anoth-
er cause of scratches, more properl,-
called grease. If in spite of these
precautions horses become affected,

disease, try the following remedy

Scientific Notes.

a Geneva correspondent states
that an interesting geological discov-
cry has been made in the neighbour.
hood of Solothurn. On removing a
mass of superintendent sand and
gravel to prepare for some quarrying
operations, the rock beneath was
found to be quite smooth and inter.
sected with old water channels. The
excavation being continued, mum.
Der of enormous holes filed the great
stones and were laid bare to the
view. These holes, like those in the
famous Gletcher Garten at Lacerne,
are due to the action of water, which,
flowing through riffs in the glacier
that ages past covered the rock, set
ia movement the stones beneath
whereby the "Giant's Rattles," as
they are called, were followed ont !;
but while the rock at Lucerne is
sandstone,the formation al Solothurn
is hard limestone and quartz.

About Water.

Modern Investigators have suffi-
GENTLY demonstrated that some Of
the most virulent diseases which af.
filct humanity are generated by i'm
purities in drinking water. So much
has been said and written of late
years about impure water that al
most every source of water supply
is looked upon with more or less sus
pieion. This suspicion tends to in.
sure safety, if complimented by care
ful investigation and increased
watchfulness in preventing contami-
nation. Professor Huxley recently
discussed the subject in critieising a
paper by DR.. Tidy, a British physi-
cian. Professor Huxley showed that
water containing bacteria 10 prino.
pally to be feared Bacteria are
microscopic plants which ieed upon
foulnsss. These plants produce pa
trefactive fermentation, and when
taken into the human systea bring
fruit after their kind. Professor Hux
ley says: "We can conceive of a
water containing srch organisms
which may be as pure as can DE as
regards chemical analysis and yet be
as regards the human body as deadly
as prussic acid" 1t would thus ap
pear that wafer which to the eye and
taste is unexceptionable may contain
the death dealing organisms and
really be much more dangerous than
water which appears impure, and YET
contains no bacteria. Safety lies in
guarding wells and springs from con
tamination with sewage or putrefy.
ing vegetable matter The question
of contamination, unless the infiItra
ton of impurities is evident to the
eye, must depend upon examination
with the microscope. But even such
an examination may fail, unless pur-
sued with skill and persistence. For
the benefit of public health the
means of detecting impure water
should become common property as
rapidly as possitl lie. Let the public
depend more on their senses aided
by modern scientific instruments and
Investigations and less upon inscru.
table providences. As we have said
before, sewage has killed many, and

she should be such a housekeeper as
his mother, he was conscious of a
desire to screen all of her short COM

mifable woman, his mo her. Now,
if Lizzie had been her own daughter
she could have easily seen that she
was an excellent housekeeper as well
as dear little woman. And if Aunt
Kitty's few remarks should set him
to thinking that perhaps his mother
may have had bad spells when her
children were small and continual

some fine vegetables, but nothing

colored grasses by Mrs. J. F. Bren-

We were told that Friday was
