ton that these parasites are the cause a
disease, but merely tho result Of it.
The mistake which . majority Of our
farmers and fruit growers make In treat
ing the plants and animals under their
care is in seeking remedies for curing
diseases instead Of the means Of pre-
venting them. The idea that plants and
animals may be so cared for as to resist
disease seems never to have been thought
of BY . large proportion of our people;
hence the great demand for medicines
and the services of the doctor. II our
theory is the correct one, and We believe
it will stand the test of experience, gen.
erous feeding, abundant exercise and .
full development are the best of all REM
dies for parasitic diseases of all kinds,
whether in the animalor vegetable king
dom. We call the attention of farmers
to this, with the hope that they will put
it to the test, not only in the cultivation
of their crops and feeding and care of
their animals, but also apply it to their
own persons and those of the members
of their families. To make . IRE We
must have fuel, and the better the fuel
the stronger and more fierce the heat.
The same is true with plants and AMI
mails; food is necessary to produce
growth and insure strength, and when
this is supplied in proper quantities and
quality, it gives the power TO resist the
attacks of parasitic enemies, as well as
to fulfill the true mission of the individ-
ual plant or animal on this earth.-N.

General.P Purpose Horses.

veryb0dy, aside rom the farmer,
who buys horse, buys him for some
special purpose One man buys for the
street cars, another for driving on tho
road; a third purchases for the omni-
buses; still another selects with reference
to use for the heavy express wagons of
our streets, or the lumber regions of the
North; while another wants carriage
horse. Each of these purchasers selects
with special reference to the adapta-
ton of the horse to the use to which he
is to be put; none of them want gen.
eral-purpose horse, or horse of all work.
The horse is always selected for pur-
pose; and in proportion as he is adapted
to that particular purpose, he is consid-
cred desirable by the purchaser, and the
price is governed by this consideration
alone. The only one who uses the same
horse for a great variety of purposes is
the farmer, and even here the range is
not very great. Those who are in easy
circumstances keep single horse, or a
pair of horses, for driving on the road;
while their other horses are selected
with special reference to their usefulness
for the purposes of the farm. Bat the
great mass of farmers, who are not able
to keep more than one or two teams,
require horses combining to as
great a degree as is possible the
qualities of the roadster with those of
the draft horse. Such horse as this
would not be likely to be awarded the
highest prize in ring composed of first
class draft-horses, neither would he be
winner in good roadster class.
A better name, therefore, for the class
of horses to which our correspondent,
no doubt, alludes, would be, not the
sshorse of all work, /" or s'general pur-
pose horse" but ssfarmer's horse" or
the agricultural horse" because it is
mainly by the farmer and for the pur-
poses of agriculture that such horses are
used. The horse best adapted to this
use is one weighing from twelve hum
dred to fifteen hundred pounds, and fif-
teen and half to sixteen hands high,
compact, vigorous, hardy, active and
docile, and then the more of fine form
and style, allied to good action, we have,
the better. Such horses as these are
we'll adapted for use in cities for rapid
draft, and are much sought after for use
in omnibuses and express wagons, and
always meet a ready sale everywhere,
because such horses are really better
adapted for q variety Of uses than any
other; and in this sense a horse of this
type may more properly be called
ssgeneral-purpose" horse, or ''horse of
all work, than any other style of horse
that could be described. National Liye

A Gander Leads q Blind Horse.

It is said that the greatest difference
existing between man and brutes is
shown in the love existing in the human
family, which is never seen in the lower
orders of the animal creation. But it
sometimes occurs that a community of
feeling is exhibited in as marked de-
gree by the brute as can be found
among human beings. Mr.. Phillips, a
well-known citizen, living on the Frank
lin Pike, six miles from the city, owned
an old blind horse. A flock of geese oc-
cupied the pasture jointly with him. An
old gander, seeing the difficulty the
horse had to 60 around, attached HIM
self to the horse, leaving his fellows for
that purpose. All day long the gander
could be seen going in front Of the horse,
giving signs of his presence by con-
slant cackle, the horse following the
sound. The gander piloted the horse
to the best pasture and to water. A
perfect understanding was had between
them and they seemed to know what
each wanted. At night the gander ac-
companied the horse to the stall, sat un-
der the trough and the horse would oc-
casionally bite off a mouthful of corn
and drop it on the ground for his feath-
cred friend, and thus they would share
each others meals. Finally, on one
Sunday, the old horse died. The gan
der seemed utterly lost, wandered about
disconsolately, looking everywhere for
his old comrade, refusing all food, and
at the end of the week he, too, died, al
though hislife was but just begun, for .
goose will live forty or fifty years. This
Is . true story and can be verified by
numbers of persons who often saw the
strange parties marching around, and
displays the wonderful affection that
sometimes springs up among the lower
orders.-N0shUille AMERICAN.

N. Coumoundouros, whose name and
whose views so often crop up in dis
patches from Athens, has had . very re-
markable career. At the end of the last
century, his family were the Chiefs of
Mama, whose inhabitants had always
preserved their freedom and independ-
ence, Coumoundouros betook himself to
Athens to pursue his studies, but he dis
tinguished himself rather as Q leader of
his fellow-pupils, than by severe appl-
cation. While thus engaged, the Cretans
broke out into revolt. To Crete he went,
where he fought and was wounded. He
was conveyed to his home, and as soon
as he was cured of his wounds he re-
turned to Athens to continue his studies.
On their completion he settled in pro-
vincial town, and remained there until
1856, when he was sent to Athens as q
Deputy. There he speedily made his
capacity as leader of men felt. He
was chosen President of the Chamber,
and few days later became q Minister.
Since then he has been the acknowl-
edged head of the party of action, but it
was not until 1866 that he took leading
part in foreign affairs.
Many stories are told of his fearless
courage. Once an old soldier, who had
been dismissed from some small post,
determined to kill him. The would-be
assassin waited for him at the door of
the Ministry, and on his appearance
raised loaded pistol, and pointed it at
him. Coumoundouros rushed forward,
snatched the pistol from the mans hand,
and held him until the arrival of the
guard. Finding, on inquiry, that injus-
tice had been done to the man, he REIN
stated him few days later in the post
from which he had been dismissed.
Here is another story: When Ohio
had been expelled, Coumoundouros and
his friends made prisoner Leotsakes, the
Colonel of q regiment that was acting
against them. A report reached the
regiment that Leotsakes had been killed,
and they managed to seize on Coumoun-
douros, in order to Stay him. Nothing
daunted, Coumoundouros pretended to
regard himself as their guest, and so
effectually did his courage and eloquence
stand him in good need, that he and his
captors were soon engaged in drinking
toasts to their common country.
As q Minister, his chief fault is that
he never knows how to refuse anything
to his friends, and. owing to his amiable
weakness, there are men about him who
might be better away. He is now about
sixty years old, and possesses wonder
full facility for work, often reading
official documents and giving orders to
half dozen subordinates at the same
time. To his untiring energy it is due
men under arms, well drilled and well
eQuipped.-LOpd0n Truth.

Egypt and Its Ruins.

What is now the valley of the Nile,
we have reason to believe, was peopled
by pilgrims from Western Europe at a
time when the Strait of Gibraltar had no
existence. They warred with the wild
beasts, which then occupied the land,
and against which the negroes, who oc-
cupied the more southern country, could
not contend. We can trace their history
from the time when their rude huts were
built of mud, then of bricks-first sun
dried, and afterward kiln-dried-then of
logs, and after that of sandstone, until
we see the magnificent monuments of
stone, down to the time when Egypt was
ruled by its first king, variously estimat-
ed at from 200 B. c. to 500 B. c., and
when Egypt first began to relate its own
history and was ruled by laws. Egypt's
pyramids are the greatest monuments
ever erected on this planet; yet, when
people ask me why to-day no such mon
uments are built or can not be built, I
reply that if one man could control the
labor of 100000 men for sc years
he could build monument
beside which Egypt's greatest pyra-
mids would look like mole-hills; but
thank heaven no one man can now con-
troll the labor of slaves as did the pyra-
mid-buiders, and if he could he would
not want any such monuments to the
greatness of kings. The pyramids were
only vast sepulchers, and are evidence
that the Egyptians once believed in the
resurrection of the body. They thought
that in three thousand years the soul re-
turned to the body and reinhabited it;
and so they wanted to keep the bodies
of their kings only as a mighty pyramid
could keep them.-Prof. Denton.

Keezy's Samso.

Little Weezy Haynes had more dolls
than she could take care of, and they
were always falling into mischief. Her
china twins had but one leg and one
arm between them, and not a sign of 3
head. Her pretty wax Rosa was with
out nose. And as to her gCtta-percha
baby, it was so .wrinkled and ugly that
Weezy rubbed the windOw-panes with
it when she played at cleaning house.
Phebe Redlan cut paper dolls for her
by the hour, but these frisked out of
the window or into the fire; and of
Weezy's large family there was! left
only one sound child.
This was little Sambo, knit of wor-
sted; black face. scarlet jacket, yellow
trousers, and all. When he tumbled
into the wash-bowl Weezy squeezed
him out, and dried him over the regis
ter. When he raveled mamma darned
him. and made him as good as new.
O. he was the incest kind of doll!
and from his white sewing-silk teeth to
his black buckingham toes, Weezy
loved every inch Of him. Yet she did
love to punish him. One morning
when she found him in papa's boot she
shook him till one of bis bead eyes
dropped out.
.sWhat for Sambo run away and
hide?" cried she. "Now mamma mus
tie Sambo, cause Sambo didn't mind"
She looked about the hall for some
thing to tie him to. and saw papa's
overcoat on the hat-tree. The buttons
on the back of it we're just within her
reach.
"There! Sambo must be tied till he
is good boy" said she, winding the
ends of his tiny scarf round one of the
buttons.
Then, leaving the poor doll hanging
by his neck, she danced off 1.-THE
kitchen to tease Bridget for 'two big
plums."
Pretty soon Papa Haynes came ont of
the sitting-room 70 60 down town. It
was rather dark in the hall, and he put
on his overcoat without seeing the doll.
Next he drew on hisgloves, and walked
briskly into the street with Sambo bob
bling up and down from the button at
his back. 5@
1t was funny enough! One little boy
laughed so hard that he rolled off the
doorstep. Some school-children on
the corner shouted, and clapped their
hands. Papa Haynes wondered what
all the noise was about. He couldn't
see anything to laugh at.
He might have gone on right
through the village with Sambo's yell
low legs dancing jig behind him. if
the minister hadn't called to him.
''Sir?' said papa. wheeling in front
of the minister's gate so suddenly that
the doll bounced against him.
why, what is this?'' he went on,
reaching his hand behind his back. =
Something that belongs to Weezy,
fancy" laughed the minister, un-
winding Sambo's scarf.
When Papa Haynes saw the doll he
couldn't help laughing. too.
"Well, must say I've cut pretty
figure" said he, with a very red face.
"No wonder the boys shoutedr'
He felt like tossing Sambo over the
fence. but then he thought Of his little

pocket. "Pll take it home to her this
time, but she must look out how she
