There is no way to hold the Gov
eminent to proper accountability
for its acts save by party response

maintained save by treating the

The origin of the notion-it
hardly ranks as superstition any
longer-that the horseshoe is sign
of good luck can be traced back in
England to the thirteenth century.
The monk Gervaise of Tibury says
that at that time there was kind
of demon in England which APP
peared as a horse rearing on its
hind legs and with sparkling eyes.
Whenever this apparition was seen,
it was a sign that a conhagration
would soon break out. Hence, as
giving kindly warning, this mys-
FERROUS horse was regarded as a
friendly spirit, and the animal in
general was believed to have ben
eficial mystic power. His sweat
was sovereign remedy against
epilepsy; horses tooth carried in
the pocket prevented toothache. 1t
was a sign of good luck to find
horseshoe, and one was placed I'M
der the pillow of a child to cure
the colo, or nailed against a build
ing to prevent it from catching fire.
This led to its general adoption as
a protective symbol.

Animals get rid of their parasites
by using dust, mud, clay, etc
Those suffering from fever restrict
their diet, keep quiet, seek dark,
, airy places, drink water and some
times plunge into it. When a dog
has lost its appetite it eats that
species of grass known as dogs
grass, which acts as an emetic and
purgative. Cats also eat grass
Sheep and COWS, when i'll, seek out
certain herbs. An animal suffer
ing from chronic rheumatism al
ways keeps, as far rs possible, in
the sun. The warrior ants have
regularly organized ambulances.
Latreille cut the antennR of the
ant, and other ants came and COW
cred the wounded part with a trans
parent fluid secreted from their
mouths. If chimpanzee is
wounded it stops the bleeding by
placing its hand on the wound or
dressing it with leaves and grass.
When an animal has a wounded
leg or arm hanging on, it completes
the amputation by means of its
teeth. A dog, on being stung in
the muzzle by viper, was observed
to plunge his head repeatedly for
several days into running water.
This animal eventually recovered.
A sporting dog was run over by a
carriage. During three weeks in
winter it remained lying in a brook,
where its food was taken to it.
This animal recovered. A terrier
hurt its right eye. 1t remained
under a counter, avoiding light and
heat, although it habitually kept
close to the fire. 1t adopted a gem
eral treatment, rest and abstinence
from food. The local treatment
consisted in licking the upper sur
face of the paw, which it applied
to the wounded eye; again licking
the paw when it became dry. Ami
mails suffering from traumatic fever
treat themselves by the continued |
of cold water, which |
NJ. Delaunay considers to be more
certain than any of the other meth
DDS. In view of these interesting
facts we are, he thinks, forced to
admit that hygiene and therapeu-
tics, as practiced by animals may,
in the interest of psychology, be
studied with advantage.
Many physicians have been keen
observers of animals, their diseases
and the methods adopted by them
IN their instinct to cure themselves.
and have availed themselves of the
knowledge so brought under their
observation in their practices.

On Thursday a remarkable sur
gical operation was performed at
the Massachusetts General hospital
by DIR. Maurice n. Richardson, of
this city. About a year ago John
Mccarthy swallowed a set of false
teeth. The passage of food to the
stomach was almost prevented, the
patient grew emaciated and weak /;
and it became evident that unless
relief was had he must soon die.
DR.. Richardson made a transverse
cut in the left side of the abdomen,
through which the mans stomach
was drawn out and then cut open,
when, by the insertion of his arm
to the elbow, DIR. Richardson was
able to reach and remove the teeth.
The internal opening was then
closed with fine silk, and the stom-
ach replaced, the external cut be-
ing also closed with stitches. The
whole operation was completed in
forty-five minutes. The patient is
doing well, and his complete re-
covery is now considered little less
than certain.-Boston Dispatch.

THE TRACEY WILL CASE.
Agnes Ethel's Right to the Fortune
Disputed.

BUFFALO, July l5.-The Tracey will
contest began mere to-day, and is likely
to be the most Interesting since that two
years ago for the custody Of the Fargo
twins. Frank Tracey loved his &C
tress wife Agnes Ethel, and when he
died i: was found he had left her and her
family the bulk of his $2,000,G0O. Hts
daughter Harriet, now Is Years old, who
left her father when her mother obtained
a divorce, now lives i'll New York and is
worth 500, 900, LETT her by her paternal
grandmother.
Frank Tracey said he never wanted his
money to 20 into his former wife's family,
SO he left his only daughter the bare use
of 500, 900. A guardian was appointed
for her, and now she has begun contest
to break the Will, watch, by its peculiar
provisions, If she loses, cuts her off en-
tirely. John Parsons, OF New York, is
trying the case for her. The witnesses
to-day were Franklin ID. Locke. who drew
the will, and DIR. John d. Hill, Tracey's
family physician.
DR.. Hill reciLed Tracey's habits, saving
be usually arose at noon and washed
down piece of toast with quart of
champaign. Tracey died OF diabetes,
supernduced, as supposed, by the fast
lie he led some years ago. Agnes Ethel
has secluded herself in Europe during the
contest. 1t is said that but for her intlu-
ence the daughter would have Jared
worse than she did.

HISTORIC INCIDENTS.
Recollections of Persons and Thing
DuPinO TyIeYJS Administrative

Recollections of Persons and Things
During TylePs Administration.
The following Is taken from "Perley's
"reminiscences:
John Tyler, who was 81 years OF age
when he took possession OF the Executive
Mansion, was somewhat above the me-
dunn height, and Of slender figure, with
long limbs and great activity OF move
ment. His thin auburn hair turned white
during his term of office, his nose was
large and prominent, his ewes were of
buish-gray, his liys were thin, and his
cheeks sunken. His manners were those
OF the old school or Virginia gentlemen,
and he was very courteous to strangers.
Inc ceremoniOus etiquette established at
the White House by Van Buren, vanished,
and the President lived precisely as be had
on his plantation, attended by his old lam
lily slaves. He invariably invited visitors
with whom he was acquainted, or
strangers who were introduced to MIN, to
visit the family dining room and take
something from a sideboard well gar
nlshed with decanters OF ardent spirits
and wines, with a bowl of juleps in the
summer and of egg.nog in the winter. He
thus expended nearly all of his salary,
and used to regret that it was not larger,
mat ne might entertain his guests more
literally.
SECONDHAND COAT OF ARMS.
One day President Tyler joked MIR. Wise
about his lutte one.horse carriage, which
the President styled "a candle-bOX on
Wheels" to which the representative from
the Accomac district retorted by telling
Mr.. Tyler that he had been riding for
month in secondhand carriage pur-
cnrsed at the sale of the effects of Mr..
Pauldng, the Secretary of the Navy UNI
der Mr.. Van Buren,, and having the Pauld-
ing cnat-of-arms emblaZoned on the door
panels. The President laughed at the
sally, and gave orders at once TO have the
armorial bearings of the Pauldings
painted over. Economy also prompted
the purchase Of some partly worn suits OF
livery at the sale of the effects of a for
eign minister, and these were afterwards
worn by the colOred walters at state dim
ners.
'BEAU" HICKMAN,
as he called himset, made MS appearance
at Washington toward the close of the
Tyler administration. He was Of middle
size, with long hair, and an Inoffensive,
cadayerous cOuntenance. 1t was his
boast tnat he was born among the slashes
of Hanover county, Va, and he was to be
seen lounging about the hotels, fashi0na-
bly,, yet shabbiy, dressed, generally wear
ing soiled white Kid gloves and a white
cravat. 1t was considered the proper
thing to introduce strangers to Beau, who
thereupOu unblushingly demanded his
initiation fee, and his impudence some
times secured him a generous sum. He
was always ready to pilot his victims to
gambling houses and other questionable
resorts, and for a quarter of century he
lived on the blackmaIl thus levied upon
strangers.
