Torment, OF the Horse.

Among tle everyday tOrmeIts to
which the horse is subjected We will
enumerate the following: l. Abraded
breast. :. Intlamed back from defect
i've saddle or harness pad. 3. Sore
mouth from too tight gag-rein, a Sc
we're bit, or both. 1. \ sore tail from
too tight or illy-made crupper. >. An
abrasion under the body, caused by
too tight or badly-titted belly-band. g.
Irritation of the eyes from binders be-
ing strapped too close together, or on
the other hand being allowed TO swing
around, first striking one eye and then
the other. Z. Ears chafed by the brow
band being placed too high, or by met
allie rOSetteS with a sharp outer rim,
the base of the ear pressing across this
at every motion. 8. The excessive IA
tigue of all the structures of the neck
under the influence of the bearing rein.
The bearing rein, if made taut, and
kept So for any considerable length of
time, is a source of great dIscomOrt to
all horses, and an insutferable torment
TO many. \ taut rein can be used
with entire propriety on horses of fine
easy up-carriage, especially while in
motion; but if the muscles and bOny
structure of the neck extend forward
horizontally from an upright shoulder,
rather than striking out from a Slanting
shoulder, then the most intense suffer
ing will be inflicted by straining tie
neck up to an angle entirely unnatural
To the animal, especially If this strain
be long kept up. To strain a culprit
up by the thumbs till only his toes
touch the ground is certainly one of the
severest admissible punishments that
can be inflicted upon mortal, and the
checkrein is undoubtedly AKIN to it in
its extreme application

The second of the three dredges built
In Philadelphia, for work on the Pana-
ma Canal, the Prosper Huerne, named
after distinguished French engineer.
was launched recently from the ship
yard on Petty's Island, formerly oper-
ated by Doughty II Kapella, and now
leased and run by Slaven Brothers. The
first dredge, the Count de LeSSeps, was
launched on the 18th of March, and has
been used on the Panama work since
August l, dredging 10000 cubic yards
a day. The Prosper Huerne will be
ready to start for the Isthmus about the
first of October. Slaven Brothers are
officers of the American Contracting
and Dredging Company of New York,
which has the contract for dredging
seven and half miles of the new canal
on the Atlantic side to Gettun, which
Is an important station. The excava-
ton to be made by them under this con-
tract will involve the removal of {, ,OOO,-
600 cubic yards, at a price of =, 200, 900.
The machines in operation dump the
dredged matter into a discharge pipe
which carries it off beyond the banks
of the canal. The De LeSSeps digs to
a depth of twelve feet and to a width of
100 feet. The Huerne, following in
the wake of the De LeSsepS, digs to "a
width of 20O feet, and the third dreIge
in the rear will dig the canal to the full
depth of twenty-Seyen and half feet,
giving the sides an easy slope and a
width of 110 feet ut the bottom.
Thus far the Panama Canal Com
pany has spent $40, 900, 600 on the work
of severing the two continents by a
tidewater canal. As $50, 200, ,00O of
stock subscriptions have been paid in
there iSa margin of Sl0, ,000, 900 on hand.
De LeSSepS promises TO finish the canal
by 1888, the contract of Slayen Bros.
requiring them to finish their section
in fifteen months. There are 10000
men now at work in the service of the
company. They have been. brought
from Jamaica and South America, and
are presumed to be able to withstand
the dangers of that region. There is
story which may be true, but probably
is exaggerated, that pictures the terrOrs
attending such enterprises across the
lsthmus by figuring that more lives
were lost in building the Panama Rail-
road than there are ties in the line of
forty-Seyen miles of road. This line is
now owned by the canal company, and
is utilized in distributing the machinery
and in the multitudinous uses inciden-
tai to such great enterprise. The
company has erected hundreds of houses
for its workmen, it has extended and
deepened the harbor at Aspinwall, and
is building a breakwater there. 4
large sum has been spent in this coun-
try for land excavators, locomotives
and construction trains. The highest
point on the line of the proposed canIl
Is 800 feet above sea level. All this
must be razed.

The Art Loan.

task is one of not only enormous pro-

Loan Exposition, therefore it is that
The Free Press speaks with pleasure
of works by two Detroit boys, which
are already on hand, and will be exhib-
tied alongside the works of the leading
artists of Europe and America, where
the citizens may havea a fine opportunity
to make intelligent comparisons.
The Detroit artists thus alluded to
are Carl j. Melchers and Mr.. Rols
hoven, sons respectively of Julius Mel
cherS, the sculptor, and Z. RolshOven,
the jeweler. The two young men went
together to Europe a little over SIX
years ago, since which time they studied
at Dusseldorf and separating later
sought according to their tastes, one
the art schools of Paris and the other at
Florence. Mr.. Melcher's pictures are
1.-The Letter" (which was admitted to
the Salon in 1852, 1.-The Gladiator
and 1.-The Lictor," painted at Rome this
year, scene at Attina, Italy, and
I'm the Cloister" Mr.. .RolshOven'5 pic
lures are "A Southern Moor" and two |
italian landscapes. The first one of |
Mr.. Melcher's pictures shows mother |
and daughter in picturesque Brittany |
peasant dress standing near a window, |
the mother listening to her daughter as
she joyfully leads the last letter from |
her sweetheart, who has gone to Amer
lea. The drawing of the figures is de
cidedly correct, while the handling of /
the light as it comes through the win /
dow to the faces of the women, their |

other articles ia the domestic interior, |
shows fine strength and appreciation in
and handling cOl0rs. Mr.. /
s. Southern Moor" shows an |
aged African of the intellectual type /
found on the Northern coast. He is
draped in the bright yellow and white
ropes of his nation, ahd is seated in a
attitude before the dark
hangings of his cafe. The pose is per-
feet and has treatment of the ANATOMY |
and the contrasts in color evidences the
utmost confidence in his ability on the
part of the artist. In this connection i

men are prOspering artistically and

The stomach.

The stomach has no more to do with
digestion than have the liver, pancreas
and inteStines. Each contribute to the
process of digestion. By the constant
motion of the stomach, the food is more
fully brought into contact with the di-
gestive glands. In this, and its special
action in at length forcibly expelling
food from 1t, the stomach is not parti-
cularly different from the vermicular
(worm-like) motion and eXpulsive power
of the inteStineS.
The stomach acts rs receptacle by
which we are enabled to take a sufficient
quantity of food at convenient inter-
walls, so that We may not be always eat
ing. Even its power to reserve its ac-
ton, as in vomiting, is possessed, and
sometimes used, by the intestines.
- The glands near the intestinal OPEN
ing of the stomach 1.-THE pylorus) secrete
an alkaline fluid; the others, an acid.
Each, however, equally digests meat.
Vomiting does not necessarily imply
a foul stomach. A thought-in a SEN
Sitive persona blow on the head,
tickling of the nerves near the gullet,
the sympathetic influence of other or
gans, may cause vomiting. 1t is pure
Iy nervous action, and the nerves
causing it may be irritated in many
ways. Even the foul contents of the
stomach cause the vomiting only by
irritating the nerves of the brain.
Hence the pain and vomiting of sick
headache may be due either to foul
stomach or solely to an independent IL
of the central nerves.
Meat is digested in the.stomach; fat,
bread and other articles further along.
But the stomach is not essential TO the
digestion even of meat. The latter can
be digested just as rapidly and well in
bowl with pepsin at the right tempera-
ture. OF course. the pleasure of eating
depends on nerves in the mouth, not in
the stomach. And the food, too, is as
readily diges.ed if put into the stomach
through hole in the side. 1t is now
found that, in certain diseases, the
stomach may be thoroughly and advan-
washed out daily, and the
food introduced through a tube, and
the patients can be taught to do this

EETHEART.

rhs stars shine out on the wide, wide sea
with light that is ne'er forgot;
D. your ewes, sweetheart, shine out ON me
With light that the stars know not.
The larks sing soft, in the fresh green grass,
Their heaven-taught melody;
pn, the birds are dumb as your sweet words
pass
swiit-winged as the light to me-
The rose climbs up TO my window-seat,
And faints in its rich perfume;
Rut the breath Of your lips is sweeter. my
sweet,
And their crimson is loves ripe bloom.

mine,
That whisper in loves low tone!
on. ewes thar out of loves vast deeps shine.

you have feasted me, love, as the rose the

On the sweets Of your lips and your eyes;
You have opened loves portals and given
10 me
The cycles of Paradise.

Shortly after this we found it necessary
to make some openings under the caves
for ventilation, and we found-what? !?
An old fruit can hung by string to a
rafter just in front of a knot hole. In
the can was round pebble which very
successfully imitated-at distance
the death rattle which all had heard
and shuddered at. The only mystery
now was, how did the can get there.
