PHILADELPHIA, October 4.-The

this city. Within the past fortyeight
hours the wave has swept over the city
and taken firm held on the horses. One
OF the most prominent veterinary sur
geons, who represents a number of the
horse car companies, states that ten per
cent. of the horses are already affec-
ted by the incipient stages of the dis.
ease, and he feared the rain spell which
set in to-day would increase it to twen-
tY-fiye per cent. within the next forty
eight shours. But few horses are in.
capacitated for duty.

POUGHKEEPsIE, n. Y, October 4
The epizootic has broken out along the
river. In this city in one stable twen-
ty-three horses are sick. Public and
private stables are alike affected, but
the disease is Of mild form.

personally the Republican ticket is a
good one. The gentleman composing
it are men of good repute and stand

itself to the charge of inconsistency in
protesting such strong love for the

then nominating all professional men.
Not one of the gentlemen on the ticket
practically knows what it is TO eat his
daily bread in the sweat of his brow.

Protection to Trees and Shrubs.

It is very annoying to have trees and
shrubs destroyed by frost after one has
been to considerable expense to procure
and cultivate them. The climate of the
prairie regions of the West is unfavor-
able to the preservation of tender vari-
cites during the winter on account of
the frequent changes. 1t is even worse
than the climate of much higher lati-
tudes, as the cold there continues
from fall till spring. There is also a
large amount of snow that affords the
best protection. 1t is easy to raise
peach trees in this latitude, but difficult
to obtain varieties sufficiently hardy to
endure the effect of repeated freezings
and thawings. Small peach trees may
be protected by tying the branches to-
gether by bands of hay or straw, and
standing long stalks of corn about them.
After the latter are in place they should
be kept secure by means of a rope or
piece of wire, such as is used for bind
ing grain. Large trees may be pro-
tected by tying the branches together
and building straw stacks about them.
Protection may also be afforded by
means of q cap formed of corn stalks or
long rye straw. By means of three or
four sets of fence rails framework
may be constructed about n peach tree
which, when filled with straw, will
afford the most ample protection.
Some plant shrubs may be bent down
to the earth, fastened in position by
means of forked sticks and covered
with soil and straw. Some that will not
bear bending may be covered with
straw, twisted in the form of bands.
If rose bushes or tender shrubs of
any sort stand in rows they may be
protected by building wall of boards
on each side and filling with tan bark.
forest leaves, or chopped straw. The
boards may be of poor quality of
lumber. and can be held in position by
stakes. The top of the protector can
be covered with boards or earth round
ell over, SO that it will carry Oft the
ain. One set OF boards and stakes,
With good care will last many years
The material employed for filling the
space between them can be used to
good advantage for mulch in the sum-
mer. The stakes should be set and the
boards nailed to them before the ground
freezes, but it is not necessary to sup
ply the filling till after heavy frost oc-
ours. If some of the shrubs and bushes
are quite tall they may be bent over
and held to the ground by means of
weights, or secured by cross sticks.
The covering should remain in place
till all danger from heavy frost is over
in the spring. Chicago Times.

his daily toll and had pulled off his boots

grab at his foot, but, missing it, went on
with the war dance. "Water!" he
shrieked, and started up stairs, three at
at step, and, turning, came back in
single stride. "Oh, I'm stabbed" he
cried, and sank to the floor and held his
right leg above his head; then he rose
to his feet with bound, and, screaming
for the bootjack, held his foot out to-
ward his terrified family. ssOh, bring
the arnica," he yelled, and with one de-
spairing effort he reached his slipper
and got it off, and, with a groan as
deep as a well and as hollow as drum,
sank into chair and clasped his foot
in both hands. "Look out for the scor-
pion," he whispered, hoarsely, "I'm
a dead man." The small boy was by
this time out in the wood-shed, rolling
in the kindling in an ecstasy of glee, and
pausing from time to time to explain to
the SON of neighbor, who dropped in
to see if there was any innocent sport
going on in which he could share. "Oh,
Bill! Bill" he said, "you wouldn't
believe; some time to-day, somehow or
other, big blue wasp got into the old
mans slipper, and when he came home
and put them on-oh! Bill, you don't
know what fun I've had"
