"REMINISCENCES or LAFAYETTE.

"To put mn name at the feet Of great men
in the sereice If grand ideas, this IS my am
hilton. "-BARTHoLDI.
With these noble words the great
French artist presents his grand work 10
America with heartfelt testimonial OF
fraternal greeting from our sister repuo-
lie.
There is something grandly pathetic in
the festival that celebrates the brother
hood of the two republics.
Some of those who recall the stories OF
Lafayette's second visit to America have
perhaps heard a legend that has never
been printed.
The noble Frenchman who had dedl-
Gated his youthful genius to our cause
came back TO view the contamination OF
the work that he prophesied would be
repeated in France The Virginians Sc
lected company of gentlemen to attend
him on horseback as an escort of honor
as he drove in carriage over the scenes
of his campaigning.
1t was thus that Lafayette approached
Monticello on a calm day, when the
dreamy stiffness of the autumn held all
nature in trance and the blue sky and
floating clouds enclosed that beautiful
picture where the prophet of modern De-
mocracy had chosen his home.
When the carriage drove to the door
the escort dismounted and stood uncover
ed in wrapt silence to see this meeting
between the sage and the romantic hero.
Lafayette alighted and advanced to
meet Mr.. jefferson as he came down the
steps.
What will they say" whispered one
of the spectators.
But the two mems souls felt more than
ordinary mortals could as they recalled
the scenes and the issues of the American
Revolution that involved the cause of
liberty for the whole world.
Neither of them spoke, but the Ameri-
can, with tender tribute to the custom
of France, folded lafayette in his arms
and kissed him on either cheek.
1t was not until the party sat down to
table and the host, with the stately
ceremony Of the time, offered his guest
a toast that anyone dared to break the
impressive silence, and then the gallant
Frenchman replied with the word with
which he overcame the difficulties of his
broken English:
General Washington but with what
American speakers Of French represent
at the end with az.

The poets arose and went on the ram
page this week about liberty. But of all
the thousands produced there is not one
to represent the truth and grandeur of
the occasion.
Practical American common sense can
express it better than poetry, for in this
age of education we understand how
much blessed man is compared with his
state under the rule of former ages
Hence the enthusiasm.

The Danger of Dust.
From the Lancet.

Darkness, damp and dust are potent
agencies of disease. Everybody recogniz-
es this; but how many fail to adopt its
precepts. If there be sermons in stones,
surely summer dust and its dangers would
prove a fruitful subject for medical dis
course. There is as great difference be-
tween London and country dust as there
are between the corresponding muds.
Pulverized matter would be harmless
if it were deprived of its physical proper
ty Of ready diffusion. The atmosphere is
laden and swarms with participate matter
of highly complex nature. It's chief
peril to living beings resides in the Or
ganic constituents Largely this organic
material consists of minute forms of life
IN state OF latency, only waiting for a
spell of heat and moisture and a favor
able amount of light, or Il may be dark
ness, to awaken it in activity. The habits
of individuals in every class of society,
including the masses, are not calculated
to diminish, but rather to augment, the
amount Of organic matter in our atmOs-
phere. Mucus, saliva and humor, popu-
larry known as matter" must be dis
charged from the mouth and nostriIs to
the extent of many gallons daily, and not
little of this comes from infective
sources; while we venture to think that
the bulk of it mingles with the dust of
our streets and courts. If, as seems not
unlikely, consumption is largely caused
by germs" then very ready theory may
be advocated concerning the mode in
which the contagion is caught. Who can
estimate the amount of mischief? How
many young girls early in the morning
on their way to business have, SO to speak,
received their death blow while inspiring,
that always greet them? Who can tell?
all unconscious of harm, some of the dust
The abatement of this danger and
nuisance is a difficulty that almost seems
insurmountable. Much may be done by
personal habits of prevention.

General Care Of the Feet Of the Horse.
Rural New Yorker.

The foot is one of the most important
and complicated members of the horse
economy; moreover it is a member more
liable to injury and disease than any
other part of the animal. And yet how
many members of the Rural are there
that ever give any special attention to
the condition and care of the hOl ses'
feet? Many appear to believe that the
only attention the feet Of horse quires
to be reshod whenever a shoe becomes
loosened Or lost, whether it is in one or
six months,
While bad shooting is undoubtly the pro-
life cause of diseases of the feet due large
ly to the deplorable condition of our far
rier system still there are many other
matters in the care of the feet that every
farmer can and ought to look after.
| Through this carele and inatten-
ton, and may say Ignorance, especially
on the part of the average farrier, more
| horses are either blemished, permanent
| " injured, or ruined than by any other
method. An occasional systematic in
spection of the feet and limbs should be
| made, to see that they are being kept in
| the proper healty condition. This will
enable the owner to discover any slight
| injury or disease in the earlier stages,
when treatment is comparatively simple,
| and recovery much more certain. It will
also lltivate habit Of observation that
twill be invaluable to every HORSEPOWER.
Whether at work or standing idle, all
| dirt and manure collecting IN the shoe
should be daily removed, preferably at
| evening, with blunt pointed iron instru-
ment. If allowed to remain it dries, re-
| tains or increases the heat of the foot ];
and tends to drying and brittleness of the
sole. During the winter there is very lit
| tie danger from drying and contraction,
! but during the heat and drouthS of sum-
mer the danger is greatly increased.
! Horses that are constantly kept on dry
roads or paved streets or dry stables are

How to Make Fences Durable.

E. z. Rexford gives his experience in
| an exchange on this important Subject
as follows: On most farms the building
of new fences and the keeping of old
ones forms large item of expenses every
year, We Americans are proverbially
wasteful and extravaganza, and we ex-
pend yearly on fences sums that we need
not If we would take little more pains
in building them. A fence post should
be set two and one-haIf or three feet in
the ground, and the earth should be
packed around it as firmly as possible
For packing the soil there is nothing
better than a piece of oak, about three
inches square on the lower end, and
about six feet long, rounded off on
the upper part to fit hands easily. Prop
erly used this instrument will pack the
soil as firmly around post as it was be-
fere the hole was dug. It is a good plan
to dip the post in tar, [ suppose, before
setting it, but have never tried it, Nv
father has cedar posts on his farm that
were set over twenty years ago; they are
in good condition to-day, and stand as
firm as when first set. In putting on
fence boards most builders use, two nails
on the ends of each board should have at
least three nails at the ends and two in
the middle, and these nails should never
be less than ten-pennies. Smaller nails
will hold the boards in place for awhile,
but when they begin to warp the nails
are drawn out or loosensd and the boards
drop off. This will rarely be the case
where large nails are used, aid much
sitter fence is secured. Many fence
builders do not cut off the tops of the
posts evenly, but this should always be
done not only for the improvement it
makes in the looks of the fence, but al
SO for the reason that there should al
ways be a top board put on, and to do
this the posts must be evened. top
board protects the ends of the posts and
strengthens the fence greatly.
It is always economy to do thing
well, and it pays to put good work into
fence. If you hurry it along for the
sake OF getting the job off your hands
you will have to lay out good deal of
time and money every year making re-
pairs. If you do it well your fence will
take care Of itself. Better take a little
time at first, and spend little more
money. than to build your fence in such
way that it will be a source of expense
every year.

quite liable to suffer from oyer6rvino
Simple contraction, however, must not be
COMPOUNDED with the contraction which so
results from various diseases of the feet.
The former occurs only occasionally. but
the latter very frequently. One of the
most common causes of contraction from
dry ing is the prevailing custom Of farri-
ers to mutilate the hoof by excessive
rasping and pairing. In their opinion. an
animal is not properly shod unless a large
part of the surface horn-the great safe
guard against excessive drving-is re-
moved. The progress of contraction can
very readily be seen by observing the
heels and frog. As contraction goes on
the heels approach each other-''turn i'm
and the frog becomes dry, hard and
diminished in size. An excellent method
is to keep accurate measurements of the
feet, taken when they are In good condi-
ton. These can be used as a ready
means of comparison, and will indicate
the degree of contraction at any time.
Wetting the feet frequently, especially
when heated, while answering to a very
good purpose in many cases, is a CUES
tionable practice. Better to allow the
horse to stand for several hours daily for
a few days in a puddle Of clay or water
bath, just deep enough to cover the hoofs.
Turning the horse on a wet pasture for
several days, Easturing at night, or even
for few hours in the morning where
there are heavy dews, are all beneficial.
1t must not be forgotten that after such
soaking or mOistening. the hoofs are for
a time, even more susceptible to drying
influences than before; so that to counter
act this tendency, suitable hoof annoint-
ment, should be repeatedly applied after
the soaking. These hoof amendments
can very frequently be used to advantage
to prevent excessive drying from other
causes, and especially after the hoof has
been Enduly rasped by the farrier. An
excellent simple annointment for this,
purpose is mixture of equal parts of
the best pine tar and vaseline, to be ap-
piled as long as required. A horse should
not be allowed to stand on or near heating
manure, in urine, or on any decomposing
substances. 1t Injuries the quality of the
hoof, rendering it dry and brittle.
In recent bruises, pricks, stains, or
other in uries to the feet where infam-
nation is liable to result, cold water is
one of the best of applications to keep
down the inflammation. Loosely fasten
piece of old blanket or sacking about
Iue III urea 1oOG ana keep 1T saturated
with cold water until the Inflammation is
reduced. In very severe cases, or in those
not promptly attended to, warm poul-
tice may be more soothing.
Rest is an all important part of the
treatment. If this is neglected, and the
animals kept at work, or if it is not pro-
perly and promptly treated, structural
changes may soon occur, which will soon
render the case very difficult to cure, per-
haps altogether incurable. To much i'm
portance can not be given to the early,
proper care Of all injuries and diseases
of the feet, Rest, without treatment is
usually better than treatment without
rest, but to secure the best results the
two must be combined.
