4 SILyER.TUBED NAG.
Coustruction of a Patcat Wtndpipo for m
 SS,OOO Horse

There is a curiosity in horsefesh at livery stable in this city. says Cincin- nati, Ohio, paper. It is Will Heath, the famous trotting horse, which breathes through tube inserted Tn the windpipe. The operation was per formed by Dr. L. A. Anderson, yetcr- inary surgeon, at the Faif Grounds III Carthage. Some time ago the horse was afflicted with influenza. He was in Texas, and caught cold, which resulted in contraction of the muscles of the larynx: The animal became wind broken and was comparatively useless for racing purposes. He had record for a mile 221!, and his owner had won large sums. Will Heath was brought here several weeks ago and pr. Anderson expressed the opinion that he could cure him. The owner was afraid to allow the operation until Anderson had experimented on an old black, k,wind- broken horse uf no value. A small slit two inches in length was cut in the throat and silver tube inserted. The black horse got better immediately and then the operation was tired on Will Heath with perfect success. Tracheo- tomy is often resorted to in surgery, es- pecially with children suffering from diphtheria.
 After the operation the horse became easier and breathel freely through the silver tube, through which the ail comes out with tremendous force. Il one holds his hand in front of it he is reminded of the wind from blast fur mace. The tube now in the windpipe will soon be withdrawn and perma- nent one inserted. The horse Is in per. | feet physical condition, eats well and seems to be entirely satisfied. He Is 8 bandsome specimen of equine flesh, about fifteen hands high, of sorrel colol and six years old. He is valued al $e, 1000.
 1t is said that Eastern veterinary sur geons have successfully performed tra cheotomy, but this i the first operation in the West. Will Heath is undoubt edly the only race-horse in Americs with tube in his windpipe.

Turning a Penny.

A very valuable nervous tonic in the multitudinous cases of nervous debility which are to be found among our young people is that afforded by the excite ment and pleasure of earning little money. The occupation which leads to the receipt of payment is, in the first place, healthful, by taking the mind off the especial form of suffering, in whatever small measure; and the delight of receiving the pay reacts c. once upon the nerves as invigoratingly as mountain air does on the lungs. The invalids suddenly find themselves of use in the world, not mere cumberers of the ground; they at once turn to repeated efforts; they find life fuller, brighter, radiant with hope; and by chance or necessity the work brings something to think about other than the daily disability and despairs, some- thing in which self is lost; and plans are made and castles built, and ofter health of body and mind is restored by means of the little income, which has value thus not only as 8 revenue but as medicating force, and is the clean est money ever spent. No drug in all the pharmacies is so good nervine as this self help. Any one who can place before such nervous invalids as are not the children of luxury and wealth the chance to earn this first small sum, with promise of more, is doing work as truly useful as that which calls itself philan- thropy on . larger and more ostenta- tious scale. Meanwhile perhaps th~ gift of such opportunities is able to act quite as strongly with tonic proper ties for the children of luxury and wealth, who cannot be stimulated by the chance to earn penny, but may be by the bestowal of the chance so often in their power.

A NICE LIGHT BUSINESS.
Ono of the Methods Employed by Liquor
 Dealers to Introduce heir Goods.

was sitting in the rooms of ono or the best clubs in New York city last nipht when man, who was so richly dressed that he was little over dressed, entered and seated himself at a table in group of his acquaintances. He joined in the chat that was going on about the races and other topics for a quarter, of an hour or so and then ordered two bottles of champagne for the party. He called for al old and popular brand of wine and gave the most minute dircc- tioris for icing and serving 1t. When the wine was poured he gave his friends royal toast, beftting the very late put hem all in the best of spirits. No sooner did he himself touch his lips to the wine, however, than he coughed himself almost into fit, dashed the wine, glass and all, to the floor and made a great how-de-do for few minutes. Of course tho whole club room was in uproar to know the cause of the trouble. ....
 The man about town finally composed himself and said: "It's that beastly wine, boys, don't know how many warnings have received never to buy that brand again and I never will. Here, waiter, take this away and give us some -(naming brand of wine,. That's the only kind to drink. tell you, boys, this stuff here is going down frightfully. There was time when I would drink nothing else, but l want none of it now.
 The other wino was brought on and drank A few minutes later left the | club with my friend, who is an old club | man. When we reached the sidewalk spoke of the incident and my companion said:
 "Why, that is getting to be an old trick now, although I never saw it played before just in that way. That l fellow is an agent for the kind of wine he called for last. He belongs to half dozen clubs that I know of, does nothing but knock about town in the winter, and go to the fashionable re- sorts in summer, and turns in his ex- 1 penses to the wine house. His business is to get the club men drinking that wine, and no amount of money Is spared to make him successful in doing SO. Most of the great wine houses in the country pay club man in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago. The salary is from $2o to $50 week and all ex xpenses- that is to say, all the wine ordered. Tho position requires tact and rare social qualities, for if it once became known that any gentleman is paid to run down the wine t1at he makes fuss over. his influence would be lost. He probably spends $10,0 a year outside of his salary, but could name four men in this city who would be worth $100,000 apiece to wine house.
 "By doing as that man has done to- night 2" asked.
 "Not at all. If these four men that could name would agree to order one special brand of wine for one year, and drink no other, all swelldom would bt drinking it Tn half that time. Now
 know that one of the swell young mer who run about town gets handsome retainer from neckwear house fol simply wearing every new tie or scar that they make and exhibiting it around the Brunswick and other fashionabl resorts.

The Political Field.

The Indiana Republican State Convention nominated State ticket with k. s. Robertson at its head The platform arraigns the Demo- cratic administration; calls for hard money, disposition of the surplus in the payment of the national debt; declares against free trade and for civil service. On the temperance question, the platform says: "We favor such laws as will permit the people in their several locations to invoke such measures of restriction as they may deem wise and to compel the traffic to compensate for the burdens it imposes on so- ciety and relieve the expressions of local taxa ton.
 The California Democratic State Convention nominated candidates. The platform adopted declares for the administration of President Cleveland; says nothing about civil-service re- form; recommends the passage of an act for free coinage of gold and silver bullion to be exchanged for the standard dollar at the rate now fixed by law; denounces the present tariff on wool and demands q restoration of the tariff of 1947; demands protection of the wine and raisin interests; takes the same ground on the Chinese question as the Republicans; de- mands the abrogation of the Burlingame treaty.
 The California Democratic State Convention nominated Washington Bartlett, Mayor of San Francisco, for Governor, and M. F. Tarpey, for Lieutenant Governor
 The New York Democratic State Committee will meet at Saratoga Sept 21st, to issue call for a State Convention. The Republicans decided to hold no State Convention this year.

CHICAGO BADLY SHAKEN.

CHICAGO, August 80, 1Sse-The explosion yesterday, and which literally obliterated tho Lafin & Rand Magazine and Powder Works, and which shook all Chicago as if by an earth here to-day. With regard to the magazine and buildings not one stone is left upon another to indicate the extent or foundation outlines of the works, nothing but yawning chasm such as might mark the eruption of a volcano. The excavation thus formed would have taken days of toll if made by man. It is 15Ox50 feet, and in places is forty feet in depth The force, of the dynamite tendered straight downwafd, and, running around tho sides, lifted the stones composing the foundation in- The magazine contained 100000 pounds of powder and 10000 to 10000 pounds of the stronger explosive.
 After the shock had passed over the people began to wonder what had happened. Many gathered in the rotundas of the different ho- tels, in public halls, in saloons and in church. es and discussed what they considered phe- nomenon of nature. It was not until the day was nearly over that the news of the explosion became generally known, and then everybody destruction of pfoperty everywhere in the city, especially in the southwest portion, we're cir culated and we're 80 enlarged upon that it be- came current belief that dreadful disaster and loss of life had occurred.
 The effect of the explosion as to loss of life is perhaps the most surprising incident con- nected with the otherwise widespread destruc- tion caused by the explosion in the overthrow of buildings and general damage to structures ct great distances from the scene, and the number of people struck and inainied by fly ing missiles: Another wonder generally ex; pressed is that the explosion was not followed by many others, as there were ten of these powder magazines in the locality nearly all of which were levelled by the force of the shock, but fortunately their explosive contents HoH in these. particular cases the catastrophe would have been dreadful.
 AS it is, but two deaths have been ascertained to have occurred as the result of the explosion, which is perhaps the greatest that has occurred since 8 carload Of dynamite blew tip in Strat- ford, Canada; few years since.
 Two persons were killed outright and fifteen badly injured.

ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
It Disturbs the Whole Atlantic Coast
 but Does no Damage.

Another earthquake shook the whole sea board at eleven o'clock Friday night from Georgia to Pennsylvania. It was not severe Communication by telegraph was not inter- rupted by it. It's most serious effect was to re- nue anxieties and fears which had almost dis appeared.
 At Charleston it shook buildings preceptibly and was in all respects like the second of the shocks on Tuesday night. Its duration was about five seconds. Its effect upon the ne- groes was perfectly appalling and they became absolutely frantic and their yells and shrieks made the night hideous
 At Columbia, s. O., it also caused great ex- citement.
 At Savannah people rushed from their dwell ings into the streets in every part of the city and refused to reenter thcm momentarily ex- pecting repetition of the terrorizing exper:- ence.
