Condition of a Stallion for the So.


The stallion requires regular exercise
for several weeks before he stands for
mares. The soft, relaxed muscles, from
Incidence or improper exercise, and the
obstruction of the organs Of locomo-
tim, from overloaded flesh, are unfit tn
be cntailed. and will produce nothing OF
any value. The art of conditioning the
stallion for the stud consists in suitable
exercise to Harden the muscles, sweat
ing out the surplus fat, TO clear the
wind, rubbing down the pores Of the
skin, so that the insensiblc perspiratiOn
will improve the health. and cleansing
out the whole system, SO as TO prepare
for the free circulation of the blood that
stimulates the organs of locomotion.
The stallion is generally pampercd in
Mleness, which destroys his ambition;
overloaded with flesh, which obstructs
his action, and overtasked in the stud,
which causes him to get lank, leggy, i'll
formed, worthless colts. To avoid these
degenerating effects, the sire must be
trained up to the highest state Of consti-
tutional vigor, so as to generate the
same health and vigor in his offspring.
1t is truism in animal physiology,
that the most active organs will repro
duce their own activity. 1t is the great
muscular activity Of the sire, and nerv-
Gus energy of the dam, that stamps tho
impress of speed and bottom upon their
colts. Correspondent Of National Lice

Consciousnogs in "Crchinr Cold"

II is noteworthy rs II curious vet oaSi.
~ applicable fact, saws the Ld1icet, that
few persons take cold who are not eth.
er sclf-consciously careful or fearful
OF the consequences Of exposure. II the
attention be wholly diverted from tho
existence Of danger by some supreme
concentration of the ught, as, for exam
pie, when escaping from house on
fire, or plunging into cold water to save
life, the effects Of ''cbill' are seldom en-
perienced. This alone should serve to
suggest that the influence eXerted by
cold falls on the nervous system. The
immediate effects of displacement Of
blood from the surface and its detcrmin-
alton to the external organs are not, as
was once supposed, sufficient to pro-
duce the sort of congestion that issuesin
inflammation. II it were so, an intiam-
matory condition would be the COM
mon characteristic of our bodily state.
When the vascular system is healthy,
and that part of The nervous apparatus
by which the caliber Of the vessels is
controlled performs its proper functions
normally, any disturbance of equilib.
rum in the circulatory system which
may be produced by external cold will
be quickly adjusted. 1t Is, therefore,
on the state OF the nervous system that
everything depends, and il is. as we
have sal on the nervous system the
stress of u "chill' falls. Consciousness
is one element in the production of
cold, and, when that is wanting, the
phenomenon is not very likely to cnsue.
IL is in this way that persons who do
not cultivate the fear of cold-catching
are not. as q rule, subject to this innic-
ton. This is one reason why the habit
OF wrapping up tends to create n NOR
bid susceptibility. The mind, by its
fear-bcgetting precaution, keeps tho
nervous system ON the alert for impress
sions of cold, and the centcrs are, so to
say, panic-stricken when even u slight
sensation occurs. Cold applied to Tho
surface, even in the form Of n gentle
current OF mir somewhat lower In TEN.
perature than the skin, will produce the
"fceling" of "chill." Conversely u
thought viii often give rise to The feel
ing Of cald applied to tho surface--for
example, of "cold water running down
the back" Many OF tho sensations Of
cold or heat which nro experienced by
the representative have no external
cause. They are purely ideatlonal In
their orlginntion and ideal In fact.

Abraham Lincoln's 0ratory.

A gentleman who was associated with
Mr.. Lincoln in early life, when asked,
recently, whether in those days when
he practiced law with him he thought
Lincoln to be the great character he af-
terward became, replied
mo, to be frank about it, did not.
Lincoln was not n student. He would
read the newspapers, but he had very
little book learning. He was not man
of application, even in the law. He
would practise the law to support his
family and be kept in the line Of what
people were talking about; but for learn
ing he seemed to have no great curiosi-
ty nor passion. He affected me as a
very interesting man on account of his
humor, geniality and pretty general cf-
fectiveness before the juries of our State,
In point of fact, the greatest of Lincoln 8
qualities was his oratory, by which ]
mean not only the beauty and clearness
with which he expressed himself, but
the remarkable style in which he COM
posed his speeches, He belonged to the
type of the orators, and it is as an orator
that the public must remember him,
even though unconsciously. \ certain
turn he gave TO his enunciations touched
both the intellect and heart. There he
was master. AS a story-teller. he was
decidedly the best ever knew. and that
was a great faculty through Illinois"

THE DAILY CAIRO BULLErIN SUNDAY MORNING MARCH

lay few dead and shrivellcd brown leaves.
The tears that had never come easily, not
even when her babies lay dead In her arms,
sprang with hot, singing iervor into her
eyes. The dead flowers bloomed again, and
the hcartache of her youth seemed alive
again. Long and wisllully she looked, the
tears dropping fast and hot upon the brown
withered petals that had once possessed the
magic power 10 open Paradise. They were
the tears OF youth, bitter and resenliul--of
the youth which had fled and left her only,
in memory Of Its sweetness and anguish,
these dead leaves. But soon she sank buck
on her pillows with heavy sigh.
Meg she whispered to the girl, "kccp
them, and when am dead lay them on my
breast Some one gave them to me long
while ago when | was very happy"
Yes, molher,n said the girl, softly.
"They were orange blossoms, and so
sweet then. | remember just how they
smelt. haven't thought of their smell for
years, but II comes back now. But, Meg,
my darling, I've kind of iancy--it seems
toolish--bul promise Inc you'll never smell
an orange blossom
mo, no, dear mother, I never will. Oh,
mother mother, don't die" the girl cried,
her arms about her mothers neck.
Meg was herself again. The past fed
away, and William Fosters wife, the hard.
working, middle-agcd, gray.headed wooon,
was herself again
Call your father and the boys, dear"
she said family hut clearly.
The end came soon, AMI she died qric'l,

makes operators little more
cautious in their movements. Prices of
live hogs are 1O@15c lower, caused in
great part by the absolute holding of of
packers. Some $4,000 arrived to-day.
Packing operations at Chicago have been
actively prosecuted the last week, some
100000 head of hogs receiving the knife.
All the houses are now IN operation, and
as there is a relatively small stock of all
descriptions of product on hand there is
disposition on the part of nearly all manu-
facturers today in supply. The produc
ton is confined largely to side meats.
There is considerable product to go for
ward that was sold some time back, but on
account of the scarcity of fully cured, but
small per cent. has thus far been deliv-
cred. The production of pork is not as
large as usual, and the stock continues
small. Green hams continued to be taken
freely from the block by local as well as
outside curers. At all other points in the
West packing operations are progressing,
but nearly all are behind last year at this
time, in the aggregate about "a per cent.
short.

Brutality That Should be Punished.

BrutUeaty 1hdt SEtONtG be Punished.
Hastings New Era.
A case of cruel aud inhuman. treatment
has come to light which, if all stories are
true, should be investigated by the AUTHOR
tiles and the proper parties severity punish
ed. A farmer by the name of Ennis, liv-
ing near Auburn station, took lad of thir-
teen into his family about two years ago to
brinS up, the boy being ut that time an in
mate of the Rice county poor house. The
boy has lived in the family until about q
week ago when the event occurred which We
are about to narrate. The boy has been
subjected to very harsh q cruel treatment
ever since he has been in fhe family. A
short time ago Ennis went to st. Paul to
be absent several days and the boy thought
the opportunity good one to run away
from the family, He suddenly DISAPPEARED
and no efforts were made to ascertain his
Whereabouts. About week ago Ennis
was working around straw stack and dis
covereda strang object which, on being un-
covered, proved to be the boy in an almost
lifeless condition. Both feet were badly
frozen and also his hands. The Ennis
family seemed disposed to allow the boy to
die horrible death but the neighbors took
him to the poor-house and summoned
medical aid. DIR. Fitch visited the boy on
Sunday and thinks it will be impossible to
save his feet even should the boy live The
boys condition is pitiable one and the
stories he tells of his treatment by the En-
mis- family are terrible to relate.

The National Butter. Cheese and Egg Con-

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 9.-The Butter, Cheese
and Egg associations annual convention
closed to-day, having proved to be general
ly unsatisfactory as far as financial results
are concerned. The highest number of
points for the best tub of butter was OBJ
tanned by Brazelton & Huyck, of Springs
vile, Ia; the second best by John Newman,
of Plato, Neb. A considerable squabble
arose in regard to the work of the judges,
who have not yet finished their labors, al
though the convention adjourned and the
fair closed to-day. Great dissatisfaction
exists among exhibitors over the careless
manner in which the judges of butter
awarded the premiums. 1t is said the con-
vention w. composed mainly of Eastern
men, who we in too much of hurry to
return home. Des Moines was decided
upon as the place of the next convention.

TIT FOR TAT.

Complaint Against the Western Union Tel
egraph Company and Application for the
AbrOgatiOn of Its Charter-The Western
Union Explanation.
ALBANY, Dec. 9.-Joseph P. Greaves, of
New York, stakeholder of the Western
Union Telegraph company, made applica-
ton to day to the attorney general for
commencement of an action against the
Western Union Telegraph company and ito
directors to vacate the charter and annul
the existence of said company, and to re-
move the directors from Office and compel
them to account for their official conduct
in the management of the funds and prop
erty committed to their charge. A large
amount of documentary matter accom-
panied the application. The attorney
general decided to hear the case Dec. 10.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The Western Union
officials make the following statement con-
corning the application mentioned in the
above dispatch: Graves, the relator who
institutes these proceedings, is understood
to be clerk of the house of Groesbeck d
Schley. stock brokers, who do business for
most of the leading men in the Mutual
Union Telegraph company. The applica-
ton is doubtless spiteful retaliation for
the action taken against that company
and its directors by the attorney general
on complaint of Messrs. Cameron and
Gould. 1t is 10 doubt further prompted
by its supposed effect on the market
value of the stock, and the oppor-
tunities it may afford for stock
jobbing operations. The petition en-
braces Nil TIE leading steps in the growth
Of the company since 1854, when its stock
and properties and business were very
small. Many of the actions charged as
illegal have already been itigated in the
courts, and their legality fully sustained.
The action complained of was taken upon
the advice Of able counsel, after examina-
ton of the statutes, and it is still believed
by our counsel to have been strictly in &C
cordance with law. Only yesterday the
Mutual Union company made an offer to
lease Its line and properties to this COM
pany, which, if we had accepted, these
proceedings would not have likely besn
brought.
