'the great majority Of ringbones in
young horses comes from the failure
to shorten the toes" To this may be
added that rngbone is apt to be formed
if colts are allowed to stand \ q plank

ing is hard, during the first eighteen
months of their age. Whether in
stable or yard during this period, let
them have earth for standing or walk

The way in which an old veterin-
aIian cures ringbone is described. He
ties the animal down, to guard against
kicking. Run sharp-pointed knife
through the fetlock, when white
bladder will pop out. Run a needle
and thread through this, draw it out
and remove the bladder with knife
The cure is soon effected without harm
to the horse if taken early, and the
ringbone will not return. But if al
lowed to harden it cannot be so re-
moved.

Statistics Of a MASher.

"Charge that" said a well dressed,
part-his hair-inthe-center young man
to one of the BARRIERS in a prominent
Superior street shop yesterday morn

young man passed out, and a Leader
reporter took place in the chair, "Do

barber answered, as he began laying
on the lather. "lou see it amt con-

The First Telegraph.

In May, 1874, it was announced in
Congress that, on the opening of the
Democratic national convention at
Baltimore, the new telegraph lines
would be ready for business. The
Washington terminus was in one Of
the rooms of the capitol. When the
day announced arrived few of the
members of Congress assembled in that
room, l among the number. After
waiting a considerable time, amid ex-
pressions of hope or doubt from the
friends or critics of the inventor, all
talk was suddenly checked by the
clicking of the machine. An impress
i've silence of several minutes fol-
lowed. The machine worked ! Finally
the operator read with considerable
solemnity the first message ever re-
ceived. "What hath God wrought 7"
All were awe-stricken for a moment.
II has always been pleasant memory
that l was present. Silenca was fol-
lowed by expressions of admiration.
Then few gentlemen boldly de-
nounced the message as trick. Some
warm words were spoken. But in the
course of an hour the proceedings
from the national convention began to
arrive. The unbelievers continued to
doubt. No decision could be reached
until the morning papers were received.
II is needless to say that the telegraphic
messages were fully substantiated.
This wonderful scene continued each
day during the session of the conyen-
ton at Baltimore, closing with the
nomination of James h. Polk. This
result was so unexpected as TO carry
onviction. Then there were only
forty miles Of telegraph; to-day there
are over 100000 miles in operation. /
