Scratches.

Scratches are often caused by keep
ing a horse in damp place or dirty
stable, or by frequently washing the
legs without carefully drying them.
The treatment should be directed to
removing the cause, whatever it
may be, and must be regulated by the
extent or severity of the disease. If
the heels are very painful, they
should be poulticed for a few days
with linseed meal; and if the animal
is in high condition, with the legs
much swollen, purgative should
be given-for a yearling colt, about
four drachms of Barbados aloes,
with a little ginger. This may be
given in solution or made into a ball
with lard. This may be followed
with a few doses, daily, of nitrate of
potash in the water or in a bran
mash-about a drachm at a dose.
The heels must be thoroughly cleans
ed, and after pOulticing, should be
dressed twice day with lotion
composed of acetate Of lead one
ounce, sulphate Of zinc, six drachms,
in pint of water. Occasionally
scratches are rather obstinate, and if
the cracks extend, it may be necessa-
ry to change the dressings, in which
case dry oxide Of zinc powdered over
the heels may be advisable. The
colt should be kept in dry place,
well and clearly Uttered.

Eczema !:

Eczma is one of the ugliest and most
troublesome of all blood diseases. 1t
proceeds from humors in the blood
which are sometimes very difficult to
eradicate. For five weary years Mr..
j. d. Rodefer, of Greendale, Va, suf-
fered terribly from this disease. He
writes: Finding no relief in the
many medicines till l used Browns
Iron Bitters, | purchased three bottles;
from the use of which have obtained
almost entire relief. | recommend it
to every one in my neighborhood for
any disorder Of the blood and as a gen.

Hotel
Cincinnati Enquirer.


There is a great chance for the stu
dents of human nature behind the
counters of a hotel office. Now for
instance, you take position by the
side of the clerk and diagnose the
case of some of the arrivals. Here
comes man hustling and putting
and blowing. He looks up at the
clock and says: "That id train
was a half an hour late" He sings
his satchel over to the bell boy, yells
Hello! George, or Tom, or Jim, at
the clerk, and makes three or four
nervous scratches on the log book.
You can bet your bottom dollar he's
prosperous drummer and hustler
on the road.
Oh, what's this? 1t has a small
valise strapped around it, and a small
boy carries another sachel. 1t ambles
up, and with the precision ola school
master writes, ak. Alphonso Jones,
Boston," Then he calculates, "Oh,
/ sayah, clerk. Give me good
woom, with a bauth, and / WEAKLY
can't 90 above the second flOo-ahs
you know" The poor thing is as
signed the room, and the clerk winks
at the bell boy to trip him going up
stairs and kill him, if possible. 1t is
an Eastern freak on tits first trip West.
All! here comes a man with a
steady tread and solid appearance.
He takes the pen and writes in a bold
hand a name. He makes no -four
ishes and asks no questions. He is
Kentucky stockman, he pays for
what he gets, asks no odds, and will
knock the man down. who calls him
liar.
Here comes a man who lays over
the register, spills lot of ink on the.
clean page and makes a few furious
jibes. He writes something that
looks like Jofrst Lbastzkryst. The
clerk knows it would never do to ask
him his name, for the man with a
look of whitening contempt would
say, "Can't you read 2" and would
stop at the rival hotel when he Wis
tied town again.
He is a country lawyer, man who
has travelled some, but who thinks it
would be disgrace to write his
name plain. This man who now
writes his name with an air of inn
poftance, is a well known politician,
who has been in the Legislature
twice, and has Congressional aspira-
tons. He writes his name as plainly
as he knows how, because he wants
the reporters to see it and announce
that the Hon. Mr.. So-and-So, the sill
yer tongued orator from COhOot-
town, who is being doomed for Con-
gress to succeed Mr.. Who-and-Who,
is in the city stopping" &c.
And thus they continue. The
countryman painfully laboring and
consuming time in getting his short
name on the record; the full-fedged
statesman writing it simple and una
dorned; the country merchant a lit
tie bit dazed at his surroundings !;
the young farmer who was never in
such a fine hotel before the sporting
man dashing his off; the tourist
scarcely looking at the page as he
writes, and a dozen other characters.
You see in some weakness, lack of
character vertebr@; in others audac-
ity; in some Indifference, and with
others you see in the very scrawl
they leave on the register boldness,
firmness, character and self-assurance.
If you want to size man up, watch
him register his name at hotel away
from home.

Popping Corn.

And there they sat a popping corn,
John Stiles and Susan Cutter, John
Stiles fat as any OK, and susan fat as
butter. And there they sat and
shelled the corn and raked and stirred
the fire, and talked of different kinds
of ears, and hicthed their chairs up
higher. Then Susan she the pepper
shook, and John he shook the pop
per, till both their faces grew as red
as saucepans made Of copper. And
they shelled, and popped, and ate,
all kinds of fun in poking, and he
haw-hawed at her remarks, and she
laughed at his joking.s And still they
popped and still they ate; Johns
mouth was like hopper, and stirred
the fire and sprinkled salt, and shook
and shook the pepper. The clock
struck nine and then struck ten, and
still the corn kept popping; it struck
eleven - then struck twelve, and
still no sign of stopping. And John
he ate, and Susan thought-the
corn did pop and patter; till he cried
out: "The corn's afre! Why,
Susan, what's the matter?" Said
she: John Stiles, it's one O'clock
You'll die of indigestion; Pm sick

tunate servant is not necessarily a bad
person. Your page-boy, for instance,
is smart in taking messages,
and quick to learn the niceties
of his office; he is clean in his
person and respectful in his manners.
How can you say that his unlucky fin
gers are the result of malice prepenseP
and it is not worth while to keep him
on, YOU hoping that he will learn more
deftness in handling china and glass
his past clumsiness condoned by his
future improvement? Just so; and vet
we may be very certain of one thing
once a mosquito, always a mosquito !;
once the love of annoying or hurting
wets hold of the moral system, and there
it stays rooted, like couch-grass, or that
Australian enemy the thorn-grass, a
source of damage to everything that
lives near it..
As child, the human mosquito is thu
limb" OF the nursery, according to the
vernacular of the nurse. As boy, he
is the bully over his little brothers and
the incarnate plague of his sisters. As
man, he is the tyrant and tormentor
of his household. If he runs to prig-
gishness, he makes his children's lives
a burden to them because of fractions
and declensions if he is an athlete, he
maybe ruins them for all time by the
brutal vigor of his training if he is eff
Terminate, he interferes with the maid,
takes the reins of domestic government
out of his wife'S hands, orders the din
ners, and looks after the children like
an Indian bearer or a supernumerary
nurse. He is at all times the mosquito
of the establishment, buzzing here,
singing there, creating fever and irri-
tation everywhere making one wonder
for what purpose such as he are
sent into the world at all, and what
good end they Subserve. In politics,
the restless obstructive and the pert
querist, the oppositionist for the sake of
opposition, and insolent to the EXTREMIST
point, he keeps things alive in the sense
in which fire of thorns can make the
water boil. But suppose you want the
water to be cool and fresh and still,
what good then does your cracking fire
of thorns? Is it not hindrance rather
tkan help? and bane instead of a
blessing?
No! view him how we may, we are
forced back to the same position-the
human mosquito is a mistake in anthro-
pology, and in no sense creature to be
preserved for its uses in the general
economy. When we shall have mended
all the moral fractures and put society
straight and square, then will there be
no room for the human mosquito; and
the force expressed in his ugly energies
now, will have merged into nobler and
better forms. Meanwhile, seeing that
fighting is useless and all defence-work
illusory, we must bear him with what
patience we can command-no other
moral catholicon having yet been dis
covered able to heal the hurts made by
the creature in its attacks. And per-
haps-who knows?-patience being in
itself one of the sweeter virtues-it is in
the teaching and the exercise of this to
his fellow-men that the human mosquito
has his rGiSon d. etre.-C Chambers Jour.

-Over-reading as wen as over-study
is one of the evils of modern education.
The evil has been commented on by ed
ueators for many years past, but the
multiplicity of books and their growing
cheapness stand in the way of any per-
manent remedy. Of course it goes with
out saying that reading in itself is not
only harmless, but most beneficial. But
children too often read so much that
they fail to assimilate what they read,
and thus the exercise is dead loss.
Much fun has been made of ''the man
of one book;3 but he possessed at least
the virtue of knowing one book thor
oughly-a virtue which many modern
readers do not possess. If school chill
dren were taught to read less and think
more, it would be gain all around.
