Thomas jefferson as a Fiddler.

Jefferson used to solace himself, amid
the arduous hours of the legal pro-
fession and the cares of State, with the
violin, ON which he was an excellent
performer At one period of his life,
when he was a member of the Continen-
tai Congress, and at the same time the
foremost lawyer and statesman of his
own State, he used to practice three
hours day on his favorite instrument,
under the tutelage of the famous VIC
linist, Albert. This, with the laying
out of his grounds at Monticello, in
which he took such pride, constituted
his only relaxation from the weighty
duties and responsibilities which his adj
miring and trusting countrymen so
persevered in bestowing on him. Far
into the night the mellow tones of his
violin floated from the heights of Mon
ticello or from the old g Apollo'' tav-
ern, where he and Patrick Henry, and
few choice companions used to meet
for social cheer and affectionate fellow
ship; and the spirits of each and all
were enlightened. soothed anti-eievated
by the sweet, pure charms of music.

Founder.

A disease that is far too common in
horses, is caused most frequently by
driving or working sthe animal till He is
overheated, and more or less exhausted.
ana then allowing him to cool off sud
denlywithout rubbing dry. A horse is
driven hard for several miles and then
hitcheditoI a postfn the open air in cold
winter weather, and perhaps forgotten
by thegdriver, who may be telling sto-
rles or'ssmoking a cigar by warm fire;
the next morning if not sooner, it is
noticed that the animal has not eaten
well, and can scarcely move from the
stall. The lameness may be chiefly in
one limb, or in more than one. DIR.
Cressy, in his recent lecture before the
Connecticut Board of Agriculture, said
that any case of founder can be cured
If taken within thirty hours OF the at
tack. FIX, .4s -l-I n
The first thing to do is to place the
horse'sfeet in tubs of warm water, and
then blanket heavily, and get the animal
thoroughly warm all over. Thelarne,
ness is caused by stagnation of the
blood in the feet, caused by being cooled
too rapidly after exhaustlng labor The
warm water thins the blood, extends
and softens the blood vessels and favors
increased circulation. In very bad cases
bleeding in the foot may be necessary.
though ordinarily it may be dispensed
with. ~ W.
Knowing the cause of founder it will
be seen that it is much easier to pre-
vent than to cure this disease after it
becomes established In the first nlace
avoid very severe driving and over
exhaustion; but if abuse Of this kind is
Unavoidable see to itthat the horse who
has risked his life in the service of his
master is not neglected at the end of his
journey. Drive into warm shed or
barn free from cold draughts, and rub
vigorously till the animal is dried of.
Give warm water to drink and cover
with Warm blankets. In short, treat
the horse just as you would treat your
self under like circumstances Ed

Why Have the Utmost Confidence I'm
DIR. j. III. Schenck and His Medicines.
During the past two years my mother and
brother have died of Consumption. l was
myself quite unwell most of this time, and
when, shortly after their death, was at
tackled with cough and severe hemorrhages,
L naturally concluded that was destined to
| go with the same disease. j Immediately
| consulted physician, who made speciality
| OF lung diseases. After examining me, he
said that he thought my lungs were sound,
| and that would soon recover. In less than
"a week after this l had another severe hem
orrhage. Thinking that my physician had
| made mistake in my case, consulted an
other doctor. He thought my lungs af-
fected, and prescribed for me for long
time. | got no better under his treatment,
| but generally worse. My cough was very
! bad, my appetite entirely gone; had severe
| pain in my right side, and for months l did
not sleep more than two or three hours in
| night. My tongue was heavily coated, and
had bad taste in my mouth. | had the
headache almost all the time.
Feeling that something must be done, l at
| last concluded to consult with DR.. Schenck,
| the physician who, | think, l have good rea-
/ son to believe to be the best in the treatment
of lung disease. went to his office in Bos-
| ton and was examined. He found my left
| riously affected. He told me that l could
| be cured if 1 would follow his directions.
| OF course, l consented to do SO, and l very
| soon saw that my confidence in his ability
/ was well placed. took the Mandrake Pills,
| Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup all at
| one time, as directed by him, and within
one month my worst symptoms were gone.
Invent to see the doctor on his next visit to
Boston, which was one month after the first
time l saw him, and he said, "Only con-
tinue with the medicine and you will surely
| get we'll" l did so. and kept on gaining in
every way until l was perfectly well, and
able to work usual Since my recovery
| have not lost days time, except when
have made friendly visits to the doctor at his
! Boston office. My cough is gone, my appe-
| lite is good, have no headache or pain in
my side; l sleep better than ever did in my
iife, and my lungs are apparently healed, as
/ have no hemorrhages.
These are the reasons WHY believe in and
recommend Dr. j. H. Schenck and his med.
icines. He did just what he said he would
do for me, and l believe that owe my life
to his medicines and care.
