Hot Weather at Chicago.

CHICAGO, September 9.-Past ten
days in this city constituted a heated
term in intensity almost unprecedent-
ed in the history of the city. The

of the season has been the fact that
the nights have afforded a sultriness
continuing very evenly throughout

Foundered Horses.

From the New York Herald.
The term ''foundered" is used very
indefinitely ana conveys ideas that are
apt to be confused. The disease to
which the word should be restricted
consists of inflammation of the sensitive
portions of the feet-which infama-
tion may be either recent or long
standing. In the early stages of the
affection every effort possible must be
made to subdue the inflammation and to
restore the parts to their healthy con-
dition. For this purpose large poul-
tices are to be applied to the feet and
the animal encouraged to lie down. In
order to prevent confession it is ad-
visable in this early stage to walk the
horse without shoes on soft ploughed
ground. Where excessive tenderness
and inflammation have set in, exercise
is out of the question. A mild laxa-
tive (not purging) should be given
one half an ounce of aloes is appr0-
pirate.

ton may be thus summarized: The

in the state, with the possible excep-
tion of Knox, which is very close.
They have elected twenty-nine SEN
ators, and the democrats only 2; have
chosen four-ffths of the member to

four representatives in congress by
large majorlties, P1d have given Gov.

The republican vote will reach very
nearly 8O,OO0-4OOO to 5000 more than
ever was cast before. Our majority Is
the largest we have had since the

exceeds our most sanguine hopes.

Preserving MILK by Chemicals.

crOH the LONDON STANDARD.
1t might be of interest to that nu-
merous class of the community into
whose dietary milk enters more or
les to know whether carbonate of soda,
boracic acid or nitrate of potash in
jures on improves the quality of the
fluid. From the evidence of cor
respondent it appears that in hot
weather milk vendors, or at least
some of them, have adopted the very
questionable habit of mixing these
substances with the article which they
sell in order to keep the milk fresh.
1t is, of course, possible that boracic
acid may have the property of pre-
serving milk from turning" The
same agent has been tried before for
keeping meat from putrefaction, and
has been supposed to answer. But
the effect which this particular form
of milk adulteration is likely to pro-
duce on the digestions of those who
consume the novel compound cannot
be prophesied with any safety except
by persons well acquainted with the
laws of chemistry. According to the
testimony which We publish, The re-
suit In certain instances has been to
produce illness Of rather severe type.
A little knowledge of chemistry
among vendeis of milk would be q
dangerous thing for their customers
If this practice continues; and it Is
obviously not 10 be endured that our
milk supply should be meddled with
and its purity destroyed by means of
chemical experiments conducted by
perfect ameteurs. Out of sixteen.
analyses of milk made with the pur-
pose of discovering the cause of the
illness described, only two samples
were found to be pure; one was adul-
terated by the admixture of water,
and no less than thirteen had been
subject to the experiments we have
mentioned with boracic and other
acids. We have heard of -four and
chalk being used as ingredients of
cows milk by dishonest venders; but
the addition of chemical compounds
intended to preserve the article gives
new terror to the homely milk jug.
