How 1t Manifcsts Itself in Animals and
How to Treat 1t.

How to Treat 1t.
Writing from Morning Sun, Ia, a
correspondent describes a disease in a
mare which might be called extreme
%irritability, though it is considerably
more than that. In the first place she
is ~light-heaGed. to use 4 familiar term.
She is unable to walk steady at times,
and there are some symptoms like that
of blind-staggers. Apcculiar symptom
is that the mare imagines her own
shadow to be another animal and
dashes at it s%avagcly. 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
bic 10 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
CT indigestion. We prescribed for it,
but the animal would not take the pre-
scription. This we think was very I'M
fortunate. Our prescription was prac-
tically charcoal, mandrake, gentian,
alocS. sulphur, copperas and iron. We
have not the prescription before US, but
whatever its ingredients were the pow
der was equivalent to this. 1t might
have been the charcoal powders, which
are about the same is 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 Il distance from the patient,
we labor under serious disadvantages.
II we could see her there might be
symptoms which would alter our opin-
ion. But looking at the case from this
distance, we are still firmly of the opin-
ion 1hat the difficulty arises primarily
from the stomach. and us the majority
Of diseases do originate in the stomach

COREA.

Customs and Habits of Its Inhabitants.
Among the interesting papers read in
the section of a~nthropology at the re-
cent meeting of the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science i n
Philadelphia was one by Professor Ed
wards Morse on ''IntervieW with a
Corean." According to this paper, the
relations between father and the son in
Corea are strict and severe. When the
Sol m into a room where his father
sits he must stand with his hands folded
until invited to sit. He sweeps his
fathers room, makes the bed and rises
early to build the fire, even at night. If
the son wakes up at night hungry or
cold he inquiries if his parents are not
hungry or cold also. Bovhood lasts
until married. All property belongs to
the father until he dies, no matter how
much his son earns. IT the son lives in a
separate house then he has his earnings,
but if his father should have 10 money
he can sell his sons house. After the
death ofthc father the money gocst to the
eldest son. The daughters are perfect
~ free about the house. They are ia
miliar with the father and their broth
ers and act a good deal like spoiled
children. Male and female servants do
not sit down together in the
same room. Servants are inherited.
They are bought and sold. Loyal SER
wants work and support their masters
when poor. The higher classes employ
private tutors for the education of their
children. In olden times there We're
public schools in Corea. The schools
OF the country are now OF u private
character. Five rules are drilled into
the children from the earliest age: To
obey their father, respect their elder
brothers, be loyal to the King, respect
full to the wife and true to their friends.
Coreans eat rice, soup and fluids with
a spoon. In this respect they are diff
ferent from other Asiatic tribes. like
the Chinese, japanese and Man
churians, who employ, as 4 rule, chop
sticks. At the table they never speak.
anc always eat slowly. In passing
dishes both hands must be used. TO

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 to
subject the patient to a course of vio-
lent purgatives. Then the patient
drank mineral waters for seven days,
bathing for the next seven without
drinking the water. The watcr-drink-
ing wa a most serious matter. DR..
Holman, writing in 1905, 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. Filling. 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 a more extern
sive scale, and the puzzle is how the pa
ticnts managed to swallow and retain
these large quantities of warm mineral
waters. l 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 a
warm room, and that much Of it passed
Oft in perspiration, just as in the case of
water drunk in a Turkish bath. In
deed, the patients were expressly or.
dered to remain quiet SO as to pcrspire
the more freely. DR.. David Bccher,
one of the leading physicians Of his
day, set himself in 1777 to oppose the
old custom, insisting that tho prefcra-
BILE method OF taking the waters was at
the springs. He was laughed at and
denounced as a reckless innovator by
the admirers of the ancient ways, yet
his views and advice prevailed and were
followed in the end. 1t may be noted
in passing that moi only human beings
were cnjeined to use the waters for
their health's sake, but that the virtues
Of these waters were supposed to be us
advantageous to the lower animals; the
''Muhlbrunn," which is now Il fayorite
one with watcr-drinkers, was long used
exclusively as a bath for sick horses,
dogs anG cattle. While this practice
has long been abandoned here, it has
been revived in the far West of North
America. Major Shepherd states in his
Prairie Experiences that ''somc men
put their sheep through the natural hot
mineral waters which abound in. the
West. Each farmer will swear by his
own particular spring. 1t cures the
scab in sheep, mo corns and rheu-
matism in men. and is %et1icacious uni

MONKEYS,
The Demand For individuals of the Genus
Simia For ST Value.

The Demand For Individuals of the Genus
Simia For = Value.
"Monkcys are in greater demand as
pets than most people would suppose
possible said Mr.. Alfred Wilkins Of
1885 Broadway. ''Ladics favor them
greatly, chiefly on account of their
amusing antics and gestures. Those
two in the window keep u crowd in
front of the store all day. Look at
them now.'' A monkey, who was eat
ING nothing, put out his hand in a
friendly manner to his cage companion!
who was holding Il nut in his palm;
The animal so approached responded to
the overture in the readiest manner,
but first, as 4 precautionary measure,
transferred the nut to his mouth. This
was not what the monkey who made
the advance wanted, and he sulkily
withdrew his extended hand, while his
selfish companion looked knowingly at
the crowd outside and resumed his
meal.
There are about four kinds of mon
keys that are salable as PETS" con-
tinued the dealer, land all are small.
The ring-tail is SO called, not because
of the rings around its tail, but because
it swings to the branches of trees, and
helps itself to climb with that append
age. All other monkeys climb with
their hands only. The pig-tail monkey
is about the same size as the ring-tail,
and it is easy to see how he gets
his name. His tail is stubby and short,
like that Of a pig. He is not considered
a handsome monkey, but he is very
popular. The Java monkey is
what like the ring-tail. He has a long
tail, too. but it seems to be more for
ornament than use. The ring-tail
comes from Africa, the pig-tail from
the lsthmus OF Panama, and the Java,
OF course, from the island whose name
he bears. All of these monkeys are
worth from $50 to $50 each, according
to condition and size, the smallest rank
ing first. There is a larger demand for
them than any other kind. The little
Mar1nazette, a native OF Brazil, is the
most diminutive of known monkeys.
In fact, he is too small to be very
healthy, and in our harsh climate he
easily falls into consumption and dies.
A fair-sized one is smaller than a newly
born kitten, only a few inches in
aSIiS.ll. CAs'l'tulIS tIc LlGINc tall, WHICH
is the longest part OF him. They have
little wizened faces, and hardly look
like monkeys at all. Ladies invariably
fancy them at first, but a closer ex-
animation shows how delicate they are,
as they lie huddled up together ana
shiver at every draught- They are by
no means as high-priced Us the othar
popular kinds OF monkeys, and can be
readily purchased for $40 each. Placed
IN company with 4 larger money they
seem 20 thrive better. The bigger one
takes great care of the smaller ono
shielding him, as far as practicable
from the cold, and ceasclessly cxerting
himself to keep him clean Sometimes,
indeed, he kills him with kindness.
There are Il great many people who
have a chronic prejudice against mon
keys. 1t is hard to say why. fol
monkeys are amusing. attectionate and
very intclligens~-N. Y: Suu.
