it. The appetite is variable, but gen.
orally poor.
Now, how do we proceed when hu.
man beings have Indigestion? The first
thing We do is to select a certain kind
of diet. We do not give the patient
fat meats or indigestible buildings to
eat. The diet is light, and it is largely
composed of the flesh and bone-form.
ing foods. All know that oat meal is
very common diet for the dyspeptic.
As a rule it is good. though in some
cases it does not do well. But that is
probably because it is somewhat too
compact for stomachs that are
very weak. Its composition
is certainly proper for a diet for the
dyspertic. If the appetite is much i'm
paired we will endeavor to coax it to
the extent of the weakened digestive
apparatus. We will do this by prepar-
ing the food in variety of ways, and
giving different kinds of food, of about
the lame composition, We may salt it
with reasonable liberalitv to that end.
We will use tonics to improve the tone
of the stomach and to strengthen the
system, and will be very careful to
remedy the tendency to acidity in the
stomach. Charcoal is good for this;
magnesa will accomplish it, and sal
eratus is good. Perseverance in this
line will usually be rewarded by signs
of improvement. If there is much ner-
vousness it will be necessary to place
the patient in place where he will be
entirely undisturbed.
Now we should pursue precisely
similar course with an animal thus al
fected. We should feed light, and feed
Gil meal if we could get it. or boiled
oats. or soft mashes. We would salt
pretty literally. We should give night
and morning a tablespoonful of the fol-
lowing: Powdered charcoal, one pound;
mandrake, pulveriZed, two ounces;
gentian, four ounces; copperas,
two ounces; alOes, two ounces; sui
phur, two ounces. We would give
this in the food. If the animal
showed any such nervous symptoms as
the mare in this instance shows, we
would place her where she would not
be disturbed in the least. Keep her
free from any sort of excitement. Peo-
pie overlook the necessity of doing this.
We have known animals that deiied
medical treatment, but entirely re-
covered when there was no possible
chance of excitement. Our correspond
ent in this instance rcsorted TO blood
letting. We do not believe in it at all.
We are aware that some veterinarians
who are regarded as very competent,
advocate it in horses especially. 1t is
a method that has outlived all possible
sound idea of usefulness by at least
fifty years. No system, human or
animal, ever had too much hood. Let
the blood remain. If the treatment
here described does not reach the case
OF the mare in question. we shall be
compelled like the Others. who, in con-
sequence of being on the ground ought
to be able to judge better than We. 20

A BARBER TALKS.
He Tells About Cutting Women's Hair
and Shaving Dead Men.

and Shaving Dead Men.
"Yes, We have good many lady
customers, said Main street barber
late on Saturday night, as he tucked
napkin around the reporters neck pre-
paratory to giving him his regular
weekly shave. ..Do they come to the
shop? Well, yes. They generally
make an appointment for late in the
evening or early in the morning, and
in some cases where they are high
toned we go their homes, although, of
course, that entails an extra charge.
Better have q Champion, sir; need it
badly. What sort of women have their
hair cut? Well. they are mostly young
ones. Why they do it l don't know,
but it is usually the result of some
freak. Some brunettes do it in the
hope that the new crop of hair will
transform them into blondes, while
others have it done as relief for head
ache and not a few give as their reason
that they know of some other girl with
a crop who looked Just too cute for any
thing. Sometimes hair-cutting fever
sets in among the female population,
and then there is a boom in the bust
ness. Yes, they usually keep the hair
that is taken from them and have it
made into switches, for after the
novelty of a close crop has passed off
very few of them do not wish for their
hair again, and the switch is
very favorite substitute. Have
sea foam, sir? Only cost a quar-
ter. Do we charge the same price as
to men? Yes, when the cutting is done
at the shop. Of course, we like to
clip women. They are not near so
particular. and as they do all the talk
ing it saves us lot of work. Hair
cutting without talking is dead fail
ure, and if the subject talks the barber
is saved so much work. We are not
getting so many women customers
since the cold weather set in. They
patronize us most in June and July.
Another strange feature of our bust
ness is the shaving of dead men," con-
tinued the Uranium scratcher, as he
dabbed the shaving brush i'll the re-
porter > HOutn we refer 10 III as
shaving stifs, and get quite lot of this
sort of work. 1t is not such disagree
able work as you seem to think. l
would sooner shave a dead man than
live one any day. They never kick
about the razor pulling, and you have
not got to talk them to death to keep
them in good humor. l usually charge
one dollar for this work, but often get
three to five dollars"
The reporter was awakened from
his reverie by the cry next at this
juncture, and. handing over consid-
cradle portion of his weekly stipend to
the barber he meandereI down the street
in search of 4 stew before seeking
the ten-below freezing point of his

PETTICOATS.

A Garment Which Is Now Essentially
Feminine, hut Which Was First W RI
by Men.
Of all garments the pctticoat is a.
essentially proper to women as breeches
are to men. and scores can find nc
might,er weapon with which to mark
down an unsexed man or woman than
represent either in the one garment OF
these twain which belongs TO the other.
Yet it is remarkable that the petticoat
was first worn by men. We hear moth
inc of women's petticoats before the
Tudor period.
1t is well known that the garment
was at first not Il skirt at all. but as the
name denotes. little coat. How it
came to be shifted below the waist is
hard to be understood, unless the
petite coat was made with long
skirts for the sake of warmth. and in
such case it was rs much petticoat as
we understand it as anything else.
Then probably when the body of the
garment was discontinued, the same
name was still retained.
In the time of Charles H. men
actually Wore petticoat breeches, a
fashion introduced from France, OF
which Randall Holmes says ''tte lining
was lower than the brooches. tic d above
the knee, ribbons up to the pocket
holes, half the breadth of the breeches.
then ribbons all about the waist
band. and shirt hanging ont"
and before then we find knights,
as we know from their eiiigies, wear
ing short skirts of MALE reaching half
way down the thighs. There is So
often such remarkable similarity
between peculiar styles OF armor and
ordinary fashions in dress that We are
not surprised to find modish men in TIE
reigns of Henry VII, and of his son
wearing long plated skirts in all man
ner of rich stufis. which We're only not
petticoats because they were callnd
bases.
When Henry VIII. went to meet
Anne of Cleves he was, according -
Hail. habited ..in Il coat of velvet
somewhat made like frocke, e,n-
broidered all over with tiatted gclI
of damaske. with small lace mixei be-
tween of the same gold, and othn.

How 1t Manifests Itself i'm Animals and
How to Treat 1t.
Writing from Morning Sun, Ia, a
correspondent describes Il disease in a
mare which might be called extreme
irritability, though it is considerably
more than that. In the first place she
is light-hcaded. to use familiar term.
She is unable to walk steady at times,
and there are some symptoms like that
of blind-staggers. Apeculiar symptom
is that the mare imagines her own
shadow to be another animal and
dashes at it savagely. This of itself
shows an affection of the brain. 1t is a
symptom of insanity, and horses do be-
come insane. Several veterinarians
have examined this mare and are una
b., to tell what the trouble is. The
case before it had progressed as far as
it has now, was brought to our atten-
ton, and we pronounced the case one
of ind geSt:on. We prescribed for it,
but the animal would not take the pre-
scrption. This we think was very I'M
fortunate. Gu. prescription was prac-
tically charcoal. mandrake, gentian,
aioes, sulphur, copperas and iron. We
have not the prescription before us, but
whatever its ingredients We're the pow
der was equivalent to this. 1t might
have been he charcoal powders. which
are about the same as the above. The
mare should have been compelled to
take the medicine; and we believe that
it would have helped her. Of course.
at so great distance from the patient,
we labor under serious disadvantages.
If we could see her there might be
symptoms which would alter our opin-
ion. But looking ut the case from this
distance, we are still firmly of the opin-
ion that the difficulty arises primarily
from the stomach. and as the majority
OF diseases do originate in the stomach
in consequence OF improper feeding, we
have deemed the matter worthy of an
article If any one who reads this has
even been afflicted with Indigestion, or
dyspepsia. or Inflammation or irritable
ity of the stomach, we VIII venture the
opinion that they could not read the
very minute description of the disease
in this mare. without thinking that she
acts Just as he has often felt. If there
is anything in the shape of an organ in
the system that is not involved in indi-
gastion no patient that We ever saw
suffering from such trouble ever gave
evidence of it. The kidneys, liver
and brain soon fail to perform
their regular funct ons. and the
lungs are more or less out
of order. The brain especially quickly
loses its usual power, and headache
an ache that seems to be directiyin the
bra n-diZZiness and confusion of ideas
in the human being ensue. The mag
ination is disOrdercd, and the patient
is unquestionably partially insane. If
the ind gestiOn is permitted to 90 on.
any of the organs may become perma-
nently diseased. We have 10 doubt
that permanent insanity often results
from this cause for the nervous system
is seriously affected. Consumption is
frequently the direct result of indiges-
on. OF course the entire system is af-
fected because the blood is neither suf-
icient in quantity or quality to naurish

MINERAL WATERS.
How and in What Quantities They Were
Used in the Eighteenth Century.

How and In What Quantities They Were
Used in the Eighteenth Century.
Up to the beginning of the eighteenth
century it was the rule at karlsbad tC
subject the patient to 4 course of VIC
lent purgativeS. Then tie patient
drank mineral waters for seven days,
bathing for the next seven without
drinking the water. The wateI-drink-
ing was a most serious matter. DR..
Hoffman,. writing in l105. says that no
more than fifteen to eighteen glasses
should be drunk the first day, but that
later on the number should be increased
to thirty. and. in certain cases, to forty
glasses. DIR. Tilling. writing in 1856,
records that he himself drank from
fifty to sixty glasses in the course of
two hours. DR.. Sangrado never pre-
scribed warm water on more eXtcn-
sive scale, and the puzzle is how the pa
tients managed TO swallow and retain
these large quantities of warm mineral
waters. | have read that the natives
of the Queen Charlotte Islands try to
cure themselves of ailments by drinking
a bucket or two of sea water; but then
they never expect TO retain so much Wa
ter long in their stomaChs, whereas the
patients at karlsbad did not drink large
doses of water to make themselves
sick. The explanation is that they
drank so many glasses of water in 4
warm room, and that much of it passed
of in perspiration. just As in the case of
water drunk in Turkish bath. In
deed. the patients We're expressly or
dered to remain quiet so as to perspirc
the more freely. Dir. David Bccher,
one of the leading physicians of his
dav. set himself in l777 to oppose the
old custom. insisting that the prefera-
BE method Of taking the waters was ut
the springs. He was laughed at and
denounced as 4 reckless innovator by
the admirers of the ancient WAYS, yet
his views ard advice prevailed and We're
followed in the end. 1t may be noted
in passing that not only human beings
We're cnioined TO use the waters for
their health's sake. bat that the virtues
of these waters were supposed to be as
advantageous 10 the lower animals; the

has long been abandoned here. it has
been revived in the far West of North
America. Major Shepherd states in his
