Turkish Bath Ear Horses.


The Turkish bath has recently come
into rather extensive use for curing the
ailments of horses: ana a few private
stables, as well as several belonging to
corporations, are now: lifted with COM
plete horse-baths. A. recent number
of the Builder gives the plan of such
an establishment just added to the
stables of the Great Northern Railway
company. which shows a compact
group of three rooms; one, serving

feet wide and twenty-fonr feet long:
while the two-hOt rooms. opening out
of the reception rooms are each some
what less than twelve feet wide by the
same length as the other. Hot air Is
supplied to the smaller rooms from q
'sstokery" outside. and ventilating
shafts remove it as fast as initiated.
Both these rooms are separated from
the reception room by doubla doors, to
prevent loss of heat; and an opening,
over which curtain is hung. connects
the two

is kept at a temperature Of about l4O
degrees Fahrenheit; while the second
room, a s'calidarium." il kept at 100 or
10 degrees The reception room is
warmed only by the heat which escapes
from the other two. The horses upon
treatment. are first rubbed down in the
reception room, and led INTO the 'tepi-
darium." where they stay until they
are accustomed to the heat and are
then. if their case seems TO need it,
taken into the "calidarium." where
they stay until sufficient Precipitation
has taken place. From this room they
return directly into the reception room,
where they are bathed according to the
Judgment of the attendant in charge.
As horses are naturally thin-skinned,
and liahle to the disorders which pro-
coed from checked perspiration. it
may be readily imagined that the Turk

opening the pores Of the skin, might be
of great use in treating them: and it is
said that firm Of carriers IN London
has had such bath in operation for
more than eleven years. treating dur

To PREVENT BLINDNESS IN BA-
BIEs.--Inasmuch as blindness has FREE
quently resulted in babies from infam-
nation of the eyes following childbirth
the following directions are given to
prevent that disaster: First, immedi-
ately after the birth Of the baby, wipe
the eyelids and all parts surrounding
the eyes with a soft, dry linen rag, and
soon after wash these parts with tepid
water before any other part is touched
If any discharges appear, separate the
eyelids with the finger and thumb
and wash out the matter by allowing a
gentle stream of lukewarm water to
run between them from piece of rag
held one. two or three inches above the
eye. Repeat this cleansing process
every half hour, for the saving Of the
sight depends on the greatest care and
attention to cleanliness. 1t is the dis
charge which does the mischief Rags
are better than sponges, and should be
destroyed at once.--Esalth and Home

the President will not be accompanied
by either his secretary or
any member CT his Cabinet.

last year in the AdirondackS, has again
been invited to 20, end it is probable
that not more than enc or possibly two
personal friends of the President will
compose the party. They will stop at a
small hotel in the woods, which will be
their headquarters, end a telegraph OPP
orator will be present at all times in case
his services are required. The Presi-
dent can thus be easily communicated
with on important questions if necessary.
Business cares will be laid aside tenn
porarily, and he will devote himself to
recuperating and preparing for Il winter
of hard work at Washington. The length
of his stay will be determined by the con-
dition of public affairs, but he has been
advised to remain away from Washing
ton during September if possible, as this
is the most trying month of the year to

issued the following important notice;
"Mr +. st. John is hereby appointed
assistant to the General Manager. The

ton of Mr.. st. John as formerly, and
all communications in connection with
those departments should be addressed
to him as General Ticket and Passenger
Agent"
The above announcement of Mr.. st.
Johns promotion will be read with IN
terest and pleasure by the many who
have become intimate with him during
a very long career. He has been asso-
ciated with the road so long that he is
always considered part of the system,
good, reliable, and ever on time. MIR.
st. John entered the railway service in
1862; was clerk in the General Ticket
Office and Depot Ticket Agent of the

partment; September l, 1859, he was
appointed General Ticket Agent. and

its appreciation.
