THE woRK-HoRsE.
\ Frequently Undcrfed aud Most Always
Ovcrworked Animal.

ONcrworkcd Animal
There are some men who ought 10 bo
ashamed to look an honest horse i'm the
face. None Of our domestic animals,
however much they may suffer from
neglect, receive so much abuse as the
horse. We refer more especially to
the work-horsc, on the farm and be-
fore the cart and truck. Carriage
horses generally fare well enough-or
at least rs well as those having care of
them know how to keep them-since
they are owned by wcll-to-do men, who
take pride in their fine appearance
and spirited action. Bat, as q rule,
the poor worker receives no such az.
vantage from the pride Of his owner
There are many exceptions, but the
number Of horses that fall under the
head of the abused is sufficient
to establish the rule Underfcd, over.
worked, poorly groomed and often
badly sheltered, every point in the
poor creature is an expression OF
patient suffering. 1t is a painful
sight to behold horse with the sharp
angles Of its bones sticking out in all
directions and the ribs painfully easy
to count, tugging along before n too
heavy load, and the driver, with hi,
feet hanging over the end-board of the
wagon, constantly applying tho irritat-
ing lash TO keep the poor creature from
dropping into a listlcss. droning gait
and sometimes a team j. so far run
down and exhausted that even the lasl
appears to make no impression. Al
least, il fails TO quicken the pace or t.
awaken even the faintcst apparent
recognition from the poor iaded beast
But the lash keeps flying through the
air, all the same, and the sting OF II
must add to the sull'crngs of the stolid
rack-o' bones. This picture Is not
oyerdrawn. II may be seen in tho
streets Of any city or large village
every working day of the year. The
owner may bee in part cXcusablc on the
score Of poverty, but his best excuse i,
his ignorance. For, il he did but
know It. he could get much more
value in service than the extra cost Of
feed out Of his horses il he kept them IN
good condition, while he would save
himself the extra work and lame
shoulder resulting from the incessrnt
swing Of the arm in applying the lash
There can be no possible economy in
starving a horse, or any other work
animal; for the available force in the
horse is what is put into it through H.,
food, and as true rs the truism, 'sOmc
thing can not come OF nothing" i.
true. the owner can get no more out
Of his horses than he puts into them.

sketch OF the Man who Il Alleged to
Have Incited the Recent Murders In
Chicago.
August Spies came to this country
when sixteen years of age. He is now
about thirty-two. He had little school.
ing in the old country, but has always
been a student on his own hook. He
learned the trade Of saddle-maker in
Chicago, but gave up this occupation
when he was twenty years of age, and
tramped through the West and South
for couple of years. When twenty
four he went back to Chicago, and
soon took part in politics. At that
time there were no Anarchists in Chi
cago. Spies himself was a Socialist.
and being a good speaker he soon rose
20 be a leader Of the Socialists, who
were so strong that they cast ten thou
sand votes for their candidate for
mayor, DR.. Ernst Schmidt. Spies be-
came afterward manager Of the Social
istic daily in Chicago, the Arbeiter lei
tung, which had at that time big cir
culation and great influence with the
working-men. Spies urged his friends
10 make him managing editor as well
as business manager. and he gradually
nodded the Socialistic Arbeiter Zeitung
into an Anarchist organ after the style
of the Froihcit. whose editor, Herr
Most, is a particular friend OF Spies.
with whom he is constantly in CORE
spondence.
Spies destroyed the circulation and
influence Of the paper by the change
he made, and il became simply the
mouthpiece of dynamiters and the dan
gerous classes. 1t printed Most's in
structions TO manufacture dynamite
and bombs, and advised the toiing
masses to arm themselves against their
''enemies" to spare no one, not wife
nor child, in the great struggle for free
dom which was going to come.
An incident In the life of the Anar-
chIst leader made him a bitter foe to
the police. His brother William was
shot and killed by policeman in the
summer Of 1884. William was a good
for-nothing fellow who lived off his
brother Two months before he met
his death he was leader in a fight by
which farmer living near Chicago
lost his life. He was tried for the muir
der, but the influence of the Arbeifer
ZeituHg was yet strong enough 10 Sc
cure his discharge. He went back to
his old life Of idleness and lawlessness,
and was shot and killed while resist
ing an officer who wanted to arrest
him. Then August Spies vowed ven
geance upon the police, and he has
kept his oath.
Spies wears good clothes and is an
expert shot, but, strange 10 say, he al
most faints at the sight Of blood.-M

CHOLERA PREVENTION.
Inutillty Of Cocrclve Quarantlnes and tn
Advantages Of sanitation.

Inutility Of Cocrclye Ouarantlnes and the
Advantages Of sanitation.
At lecture in Exeter Hall, London,
Sir Joseph Fayrer, the distinguished
Indian physician, said that though the
real cause Of cholera was stll un-
known, vet the laws which affected its
production, development and diffusion
had been so far asccrtained by obscrya-
ton that, happily, the measures by
which its progress might be stayed and
its fatality mitigatcd were now suf-
liciently well known rs to come well
within the scope Of sanitary work.
Hence all were agreed as TO the pre-
ventive eilecbOf measures Of sanitation.
Sir Joseph Fayrer rejected the theory
Of contagion by personal intercourse,
and therefore condemned in strong
terms the inutility OF all coercivc meas
ures Of quarantines and cordons. The
British and Indian Governments, who
based their action in the matter on we'll
ascertaincd facts, had wisely discon-
tinued all quarantine measures on both
sea and land, and relied solely upon
sanitary laws And here, remarked
the lecturer. he came TO the lesson
which he wished to impress earnestly
on every one Of them, and which was n
main object of his lecturcs-what il
behooves each individual of the COM
munity to do, whether as regarded
himself or the town in which he lived,
when cholera manifested itself in the
country. As be believed that in per-
feet sanitation lay the sole means Of
preventing the disease, so If it ap-
peared among them every person
should be scrupulously careful in his
living and clothing rs a means Of pro-
tection. Let them be moderate and
careful in diet, avoid all depressing in
fluences, over-fatiguo, chills, violent
alterations Of temperature, impure
water, unripe fruit, the use Of aperient
medicines, unless professionally or
dered, especially all those medicines Of
saline naturc.-M T. ObScrUer.

A Main street jewelcr says that he

they are very desirable customers. "If

AMERICAN GIRLS.
why They should Become Acquainted
with the Intrlcacies OF business.

Why They should BecOme Acquainted
with the Intrlcacies OF business.
Women are so sharply taking rank
in all the avenues Of labor, that the
girl of the next period is sure to be on
a level with man in all his opportuni-
ties This enlarging the boundaries of
woman is Of recent date, but 1t is
as II by magic that she has filed
in the fields, and as she stands
aggrcssively befors the last bar
riers we have bit of counsel to give
the girls who will soon come along as
relnforcements. II has ceased to be a
surprise that women manage business
enterprises. From the thrifty hose
support factory In Waltham to the inn
insnsc reaper industry in Chicago,
women are TO be found shaping sue
cessful enterprises, and handling intri-
cate financial and business details with
all the confidence and sdng.troid of the
most adept of males, so that in no
counting-room, Office or store Is she
ineligible, aud TO but very few of the
shops or work-roOms. This much Sc
cured. the promise for usefulness is in
any direction that her talent and abil-
ity may seek. with confidence that the
sex lines in America will only be
drawn at manual labor.
The introduction Of physics and
chemistry into our common and high
school studies, joined in by the children
and youths Of both sexes. is the step
by which the girl may go into higher
mathematics, and here, with her intu-
tive love for detail and trivial diver
gences, she may be trained into the
most intricate problems, and be grad
uated to survey, draught, engineer or
invent, and thus become more val
liable aid in scientific and technical af-
fairs. That in fabric designs and sim
liar art work girls have peculiar value is
cOnfe9 ed. Then why notin architect
ure and monumental design9 And if
here, why not fill a place with the me-
chanical engineer. and so bring this
painstaking business within her reach?
1t is not so clear but that the girl. now
work, will not in the future be found
in our enginc-room and machine shops.
II the prepondcrance Of this sex con-
tinues, and the girls acquire the compc-
tency sufficient, there is no reason 10
doubt that any avocation she may
choose will not be available.
This, then. girls. is our counsel: II
your father is a manufacturer, acquaint
yourself with his interests. Why aim
your existence as an appendage? Why
not be as vital and important rs your
brother? Marriage is a holy bond, but
making a match ought not TO be the
work of any woman. Acquit your
self competent to master your fathers
or your husbands business. and the
discipline Of study and of work will b.
your highest delight and secure your
greatest value. whether in tho ic..ic.
shop or Office. Boston BHdg.'
