Ventilation.

At this season of the year, says the
National Lie Stock Journal, Chicago,
never have open, at the same time, two
doors or windows opposite each other,
which carry the air either over, behind.
or before horses. A door or window at
this time should be opened only on one
side or end. Stables should be venti-
lated inside by having spout run from
the ceiling and through the roof. and
topped with cap. This avoids strong
currents, and Keeps the atmosphere
quite equable, which is necessary for the
good health. not only Of horses, but of
animals of all kinds.

A Frightened Six Man Team.

General Marcy tells the following story
in his Army Life on the Border:
Major Neighbors was attached TO the
celebrated Mier expedition. and was taker
prisoner. marched to the City Of Mexico
and thence to Pueblo, where he and hi:
companions received very harsh treat.
ment at the hands of the Mexicans. He
informed me that himself and five com
rades were every morning harnessed To a
cart, and conducted by guard TO the city
market, where supplies for the day were
procured and hauled by this novel six
man team back to the prison.
Notwithstanding the rieor Of their treat
ment here, the major said they were gen
orally in good spirits, and many practical
jokes were perpetrated upon the simple
minded soldiers who had them in charge
The "off-lead'' man in the team was con-
spicuous in this regard; he seemed unable
to resist improving an opportunity for a
good joke.
As an instance, one morning while
they were being driven into the market,
they were passing the stall of very old
Mexican woman, whose fantastic costume.
and shriveled. baggard countenance gave
her more the appearance of a fiend than
human being. AS soon AZ The of-ieader
caught a glimpse of this hideous old
woman he cast wink back at his com
rades, and, suddenly raising his head and
snorting like horse. started of in a
trot. steering around her, and gradually
turning his head. in imitation Of horse
who shuns suspicious looking object.
All the other men entered into the spirit
of the joke. and followed him around,
pretending to be prodig iously frightened,
and they all, with one accord, set out at
full speed down the .Jalapa road with
the cart rattlng over the pavement be-
hind them. AMI pursued by the astonished
guard, calling out in Spanish at the top of
their voices for them 10 halt. They paid
no attention TO the order, hut continued on
for nearly mile before the guard was
able to get around them and arrest their
Roadway. The officer then came up,
very much blown, and in most excited
and angry tone demanded to know what
was meant by such insubordinate conduct.
The ''oflleader." who was the origina-
tor Of the joke. asked him if he did not
observe that horrible old hag sitting in
the market place Was that what
frightened You so?' said the officer
why certainly" he replied: ''she did
it. and we could not help running away
Did she not scare you, too?' No" he
answered, slapping his breast. Il am a
soldier, and am not inundated BY such
tribes" They were then taken back to
the market, and as they approached the
old woman, the officer. observing, as he
thought. some indications of another STAN
pede. ordered two of his men to take the
leaders by the head and conduct them by
wide circuit around the object of their
supposed terror.
They overheard the Office report the at
fair to the officer of the fort on their re-
turn. and the latter affirmed. As his candid
opinion, that ''los Gringos" (Yankces)
were grea. towards after all.

Mr.. Simeon Tietsel, of Sadgerties, n Y,
had been treated for seven years by various
physicians for what they call Structure of the
Crethra without benefit. He finally consult
ed DIR. David Kennedy. of Rondout. n Y,
who found his trouble to be Urinary Calculi
or Stones in the Bladder. The doctor at once
removed the foreign bodies with the knife and
then gave his great blood specific, "Favorite
Remedy, to prevent their reformation. The
entire treatment was er,inently successful,
and Mr.. Tietselis recovery was rapid and
perfect.
While ''Favoritc Remedy is specific in
all Kidney and Bladder diseases, it is equally

of the month of June that the gallant steam

take one of her usual trips and carry across
the Atlantic fresh load of pleasure seeking
Americans. AS she proudly sailed along q
group of young people were standing on her
deck, eyes turned towards the main land and
waving their last farewell to friends on shore
Hope and expectation swolled their young
hearts and made them almost forget the
paugs of separation. For these young
American ladies are not, as their sisters usu-
ally merely to follow the beaten tracks
No. they wish to push further on, to explore
the Land of the Midnight Sun" Soon the
bright American sky varies her clouds which
dissolve in rain and try the passengers pa
thence. Neptune also requires its due and
one after the other succumb more or less
to his fatal grasp. Fortunately the cabins
are large and comfortable attendance is very

equanimity is restored. Finally, after twelve

hence to Hamburg. Hamburg, proud old
