COrns in Horses.

Corns in horses feet are sometimes
very troublesome; they are almost al
ways the consequence of shOeing. De-
stroying the expansibility Of the foot
must, when the coffin bone has a back
ward or downward motion, imprison
and iniure this portion of the same.
This. evil is increased when the shoe is
badly fitted and the foot is not properly
dressed, or when shoes are suffered to
remain too long without resetting, or by
the foot becoming hard and ineIastic.
COrns are generally on the inside heel,
as that is the weakest. The method of
shOers generally to discover the exist
ence of cOrns is by the pain the horse
exhibits when the pincers are used on
the wall and bar of the foot. This is
cruel treatment for the horse. If the
horn is naturally thin he will feel great
pain, whether there is a corn or not.
The cure of old cOrns is difficult. The
first thing to be done is to dress the
foot as near its natural shape as possible.
Open the angle of the heels we'll. By
this we do not mean to dig a great hole,
but Just uncover the corn and get all
pressure off it. After the foot is so you
can take it between your hands and eX-
pand it, fit q shoe to the foot-nOt calk
a shoe and fit the foot to it, as some do.
When you are ready see that you have
an equal bearing all round; if you have,
take a small drawing knife and take a
thin shaving off, about an inch long,
just under the corn, to relieve it from
pressure. Then nail on your shoe, leav-
ing out the fourth nail on the inside. If
you have a horse with corns and feet
that are badly contracted, treat that at
the same time. 1t needs something
more than shoeing to cure a diseased
foot. If horse has a fiat foot with
corns, use the knife very sparingly and
carefully and relieve the bearing on the
heel and shorten the toe. In bad cases
use bar shoe to take the pressure of
the heels. Always use the knife very
lightly on feet of this kind.-SGe Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Hungarian Versus German.

The composite and heterogeneous
nature of the Hapsburg Empire is fully
realized by the traveller on taking his
first walk in Buda-Pesth. Everywhere,
nowadays, the German language is rig
orously excluded from public inscrip-
tiOns, whether on street corners or
tram-cars or steam-ferry piers; and this
though the King, Francis Joseph, is him
self German, and Germans by thou
sands are in the city. In this the Hun
garians are taking full revenge for the
impolitic attempts to crush their nation
ality in the past, and, as all Hungarian
children are now taught their own
language, in the first instance, at ele-
mentary schools, and German rather as
an accomplishment, no Inconvenience,
we presume, is felt by the majority of
the population at this jealous exclusion
of the hated ''schwab," as the German
is there called. The Englishman, how
ever, with his smattering of German
picked up at schools or elsewhere, must
needs regret that the two languages are
not used in public places, as French and
Flemish are in Brussels and German
and Czech at Prague. 1t would be
of no consequence in his eyes which
language stood first, so that he might
get the German somehow. Possibly that
tongue will never again appear in Buda-
Pesth for the benefit of the many who
can not master Magyar calculations,
when the soreness which has sprung
from past tyranny has had time to sub
side. To take one instance of the
trouble caused by the exclusion of the
German tongue: Baedeker speaks of
the Stadwaldchen, obviously, as any
educated Englishman sees, some kind of
park, but when the foreigner searches
for the name ON the tram-car he can not
find it. Varos Liget, though he knows
it not, is the name he wants. There
would, of course, be nothing strange in
all this were Hungary in every way
separate State, but it shows an unaccOm-
modating spirit toward other subjects
in the same Empire, who are as helpless
in the matter of the language, very
often, as the Englishman himself

Polish ExiIes in Siberia.

In late number of the newspaper
Sce6eer appear the following interesting
getting, those Poles
ly youths and young men-who were
exiled to Siberia for participating in the
Polish instruction of 1854: Upon
arriving there and being freed from
continual supervision they gave them
selves up neither to despair nor to an
irregular mode of life. But in order to
obtain the means of living they became
shopkeepers or worked at different
trades, or, in some caSes-for many of
them were landed proprietors, or their
SOns-took to agriculture, and by their
industry greatly assisted in developing
horticulture in the province. Some
mathematical students gave their time
and strength to carpentering or to
smiths work. others devoted their tai
ents to matchmaking, and others theirs
to Zine art) painting. Some landed
proprietors became bakers, and others
sausage-ma6ers. In fact, several bust
nesseS, as those of baker, confectioner,
etc, were unknown in many parts of
Siberia previous to the arrival of these
men in it. Before that time, too, there
were no coffee-houses, dining-rooms, or
even decent hotels in the province.
proportion of them had been students
at the universities or in the higher
schools-devoted themselves to science
or to medicine, and ungrudgingly gave
time, talent, strength. health, and even
life to these pursuits. So that alto
gether the twenty years sojourn of these
Poles in Siberia has had beneficial in
duence upon the manners and customs
of it's middle and lower-class inhabi-
tants." And the See6eer concludes with
the remark that ''they have now, in
accordance with the terms of the i'm
perial manifesto, issued at the time of
the coronation, been allowed to return
to their homes, but they leave behind
them moss agreeable memories in the
hearts of their former fellow-citizens
and neighbors. Cor. London Times.

A Story Of judge Poland.

Here is a good story about Judge
Poland, of Vermont, who turns up in
Congress after having been in obscurity
since he was showed under in 1874. The
Judge wears now the same old swallow
tail coat with brass buttons that warmed
him ten years ago. When is he so dressed,
with his white hair and smoothly-shaYen
face, he bears certain resemblance to
the pictures of George Washington.
The Judge is very proud of this. and his
friends know it. Well, one day he had
a party of Vermonters at the White
House and happened to be in the east
room, which was completely shaded by
the heavy curtains. A comfortable
looking Quaker, with his wife and two
children, entered the farther end in their
sightseeing rounds. In corner near
the Judge stood full-length picture
frame leaning against the wall. "Get
behind that Frame" said one of his
party, "and wei tell these people that
it's a picture of Washington. The
Judge stepped briskIy into place. Slowly
the Quaker and his brood came down
the great room, he pointing out the
pictures on the wall. " Whats thatP"
he demanded, pointing toward the
Judge" That's Washington" he
was answered. ''OO not 90 near. Inc
painting is Just finished, and must not
be touched The Judge stood impas-
sive in the shadow, gazing pensively
out on the group halted a. dozen feet
away. At length the honest visitor
found voice. Turning slowly to his
wife, he said: "Wife, we always thought
well of George Washington, but that is
all over. We are temperance people;
Just look at that noser' and he pointed
toward the most marked feature of
Poland's face, gathered up his family,
and sorrowfully marched away. The
Vermonters restrained themselves for
moment, then gave way, and only
realized what they were doing by the
Judges grum words: ''What are you
fools laughing at?' The story was
told, and the next day Fernando Wood
alluded to it in Poland's presence, but
the latter's expression then has deferred
his friends from mentioning it in his
presence. It is noticed, however, that
since then the Judge very seldom al
ludes to his likeness to the father of his
country. u Washington Cor. Troy Times.

e. P. Roe recommends setting
raspberry plants in autumn, as better
than in spring. He places them so that
there may be four inches of soil above
the branching of the roots after the
surface is Ieveled off, or only three
inches, if the soil is heavy. He then adds
two shovelfuls of manure to each plant.
Just before freezing he forms Il mound
of earth around each plant, to prevent
heaving by frost. This is leYeled in

SCISSOR who fails to list any dog is liable
to a fine of five dollars for each case,

"A DIR. Granville writes TO the Lon
don Times; MANY persons who are not
by habit Dire amers are dreaming great
deal just now and wondering why they
do so. The answer is very simple.
When cold weather sets in suddenly
and is much felt at night, the head
which IS uncovered, has the blood sup
piled to it driven from the surface TO
the deep parts, notably the brain-the
organ of the mind. The results are
light sleep and dreams. The obvious
remedy is to wear a nightcap or wrap
the head warmly, at least while the cold
weather lasts. I believe we of this gen

than our predecessors because we leave

Dyspepsia.

In the present article we shall con-
fine ourselves to few general state
mentS.
l. Dyspepsia denotes a condition of
the system in which digestion is per-
formed with difficulty. This accOrds
with the literal meaning of the word.
A mere attack of indigestion, however
severe and distressing, due to tempo
rary indulgence of the appetite, is not
dyspepsia.
2. Dyspepsia does not, by any means,
have its seat in the stomach alone The
whole digestive tract may be affected,
including the liver with its bile, the
pancreas with its pancreatic fluid, and
the intestinal glands with their peculiar
solution. For this reason, simply sup
plying the stomach with pepsIn from
the druggists may be very far from
meeting tie needs of your case.
3. The causes of dyspepsia are many:
habitual overlooking; food either of
difficult digestion or not containing all
the elements of nutrition; hurried eat
ing, and that, too, neither preceded nor
followed by sufficient physical and mem
tai rest; excessive brain-work, whether
in literary or BUSINESS life; brooding
grief; too constant care; perpetual
worry; giving to social excitements time
necessary for sleep; in word, unnatu-
raj excuses Of every kind, are generally
the causes of dyspepsia. Without the
correction Of the cause medicine is of no
avail.
4. Dyspepsia may be either acute or
chronic. All acute disorders, though
more painful than chronic, are more
easily cured. The former may rectify
itself with change of surroundings and
a little medicine; the latter may persist
through life in spite of every endeaYor
to cure Youths Companion.
