Spring Halt.

Spring halt is an affection of
the nerves of the leg, or it may
be of those of the loins which control
the nerves of the limbs. If the animal
appears tender upon the loins, this may
be also due to the same cause as the ner-
o IL disorder, and that may very pos
sibly arise from disease of the spinal
meningitis. This may even cause uri-
nary disturbances, because the whole
nervous system of these organs will be
involved, as well as that of the digestive
organs and the limbs, by this disease, so
that the treatment in such Il case should
be for the primary cause and lot the To-
cal disorder. The treatment should be
to apply mustard plaster to the loins, to
purge freely by aloes, four drains, or
~linseed-oil, one pint, repeated, and to
give one-half ounce doses of bromide of
potassium daily. Swollen gums and pal
ate in Il horse indicate bad health. The
treatment should be to give II dose or
two of physic. y pint Of linseed oil. or
a pound of EPSON salts. and to wash the
month with solution of boraN. Fec ling
too much whole cord will sometimes pro-
duce this trouble.

What Stood For u Ghost.

Just as the clock in a neighboring
steeple chimed the hour of IL, the door
of Bremen Street Police Station was
timidly pushed open and a party, with
faces on which terror and fear was
plainly written, hesitatingly entered.
There were an old man, a woman evil

in it he and his family wished to sleep
In the station.
"Haunted"' inquiringlv remarked the
lieutenant, "the police have nothing to
do with ghosts"
Sergeant Austin, bearing a lantern,
and accompanied by a gang of reporters
and the eldest son of the ghost-stricken
family, proceeded to the residence. No
sooner had the party fairly entered the
house than a scampering of feet and a
the lantern had Jagged behind, and as it
was dark a shivcr of nervous apprehen-
sion went through the party.
"There it is. That's one of the

son and heir, as he darted out and stood
trembling on the sidewalk.
