The Snirit Of ,7R

The entertainment at the Swedenborgian
vestry last night was a very sprightly and
agreeable affair. The little play whose title
heads this notice was given by party of High
School scholars, and it seemed very pertinent
to the recent woman suffrage meetings. as it
depicts in a fanciful and exaggerated fashion
the results of the suffrage in Massachusetts,
where there are 1.-TWO hundred thousand more
women than men," The aggressive and
oratorical Wolverine, the bewildered and
harassed Carberry, the charming and unre-
constructed Victorine, the lively and dashing
Badger, the grave and imposing judge and the
oppressed but artful husband were all we'll
done, and the good hits of the piece evoked
much merriment from the audience The
young artists have good reason to be gratiied
with their success

Yesterday forenoon. Mr.. Albert Roberts, in
the employ of Deane Brothers & Sanborn,
while standing in front of their stor-, saw a
fellow snatch a portmonnaie from the poke.
Of Miss Nellie e. Hersey, who was passing at
the time. Mr.. Roberts Immediately gave chase,
the thief running rapidly up Exchange street.
He darted into the alley between the stores of
S. H. Colesworthy and DR.. Allen Fisk, and hid
in the engine house which is situated in the
rear of those buildings. Mr.. Roberts fol-
lowed him closely, caught him and gave him
in charge of Constable Barbour who marched
him to the station and had him locked up The
pickpocket gave his name as George Sands
and said he lived on Franklin street, but no
one appears to know him. He is one of gang
who have been trying TO operate in this city
for some time past. He said that he saw the
lady's portmonnaie lying loosely in her pocket.
His companion told him 10 take it, and he did

Freaks OF lightning.

During the thunder storm of Wednesday
night the lightning entered the house of Dr.

parently a foot in diameter entered the room

table which the family had just left, darted
into the kitchen. and across it to a cased par,
which ii stripped of its casing, and then
passed through into the pantry, aud here il
made fearful havoc with glass Jars and

Poor Ventilation.

THE season is upon us when much is
to be dreaded from poor ventilation.
1t is cheaper to heat room which is
entirely shut up, if fuel only is COZ
sidered; but if doctors bills, loss of
time, and shortened life and medicines
are taken into the account, there is not
much economy in the saving of fuel by
shutting out fresh air. Fashion some
times stumbles into good path. and
the revival Of open fire-places is an in
stance. The poor city children, who
are thrown like little shuttlecocks from
the terrible schoolroom to the
almost as terrible playroom at home.
get scarcely enough fresh air in their
passage from one to the other to keep
them alive, and they fall an easy prey
to the foes. scarlet fever, diphtheria and
the like, which now go stalking about.
This warning is nothing new, neither is
the evil; and while the evil lasts we
must keep giving the warning

quality or purity from the standard set
down in the pharmacopeia. which seri-
ously affects the medicinal or curative
effects Of the drug, is dangerous. and
should be made severely punishable.
There is also kind of adulteration OF
food and drink which is fortunately I'M
common. perhaps, but which is so
dangerous when it does occur, that
legislation must provide heavy penal
ties for its suppression. The use of COG
culus indicus in beer, the contamination
of timed goods with lead or other pois-
onous metals, and poisonous coloring of
confectionery. are examples OF such
adulteration. And in the case of drugs
we have children's powders or sleeping
draughts containing poisonous doses Of
opium or other narcotics.
We must. therefore, treat adultera-
ton, first, a means of cheating; and
second. as deleterious to health. making
the penalty in the second case, of
course, much heavier than in the first.

NINE persons out of ten will say that
corns in horses feet are caused by bad
shoeing. My experience will justify
me in saying that nine-tenths of the
corns are caused by the owners of horses
neg Getting to get them shod as often as
they ought We are nearly all agreed
that horses should be shod as often as
once in every four TO seven weeks, ac-
cording to circumstances. Now. a
great MANY horse owners. particularly
farmers. will get a team shod and. I'M
less the horse becomes lame, will per-
nit the shoes to remain on until they
9roD OF.
If the horse has a round foot, and the
shoe was fitted close all around. in four
or five weeks the shoe will have been
carried forward by the growth of hoof.
so that one or both of the heels will DE
off the wall, and in short time corns
will be produced. Now. if the owner
would take his horse To the shop on
some fixed date every month. instead of
leaving the shoes on from seven to
twenty weeks. horses would have fewer
corns. In shoeing. prefer a wide heel.
and mule the heels of the forward shoes
whether they have corns or not, on
horses that have Hat feet.
For interfering, level the foot and fit
the shoe all around close. Then mule
the inside heel slightly. In winter ii is
a good plan to turn the outside heel
calk, as it keeps the foot out of the
trough of the road.
For over-reaching have the best sue
cess shoeing with long shoes all around.
Let the heels OF the forward shoes stick
out an inch and the hind shoes three
quarters of an inch. As the forward
foot raises, the long shoe will raise
enough so the hind foot will pass I'M
der. while with a short shoe the shoe
will raise just enough for the hind shoe
to hit the heels, causing a disagreeable
clicking. l can do better and quicker
work with the knife and rasp than with
buttress.
If the foot is grown out very long
take the cutting pliers and nip the hoof
oil from Quarters to toe. This insures
the removal of the stubs of nails. and
with sharp knife and rasp, the foot is
soon ready. practice cold-fitting, al
though do not think thick-shelled
foot is injured by touching it with a
red-hot shoe that was previously fitted.
A thin-shelled foot never press with n
hot shoe. Was taught TO weld toe-calks
on shoes first, and heel up afterward,
but | practice heeling shoes first and
put on the toe-calk when ready to use
the shoe. If you toe last there will be
heat enough in the shoe after welding
the calk to fit the shoe. let the heels
which are nearly cold drop on the wall
of the foot and hold the toe, which is
red hot an inch away from the foot
while fitting. After the shoe is fitted
and level, harden the toe and nail on.
know a great many advocate heating
a shoe red hot afterthe foot is prepared
and the shoe fitted, and press the foot
for au instant with the hot shoe. But
all the advantage they claim is an equal
bearing and that the shoe will be less
liable to come off. Now l can with
knife and rasp get as good bearing,
and with a good nail fasten the shoe SO
that it will stay longer than it ought. =
