Victims of Medicinal Wines.

The Chicago Times says: The facts in re-
gard to the death Of several rioters by
drinking poisonous wines and tinctrIos at
the sackiug of Samuel Rosenfeld,s drug
store are daily becoming verified by the tes-
timony of reputable citizens in the district,
who are in position to know whereof they
speak. Mr.. Frank Zajieek, real estate
agent, while at The Hinman street police sta
ton Thursday for the purpose Of bailing
out prisoner arrested for participation in
the destruction of the drug store, said be
had no doubt many were poisoned by drink
inu the contents OF bottles that had medici-
ral wines in them. The crowd was so in
tent on carrying away everything IN the
shape Of liquors thai several dozen bottles
Of patent medicines were taken. But,
although The truth Of the assertion that
death followed their riotous greed was thus
corroborated hv person whose standing in
the cp1nnuniGy is unqucstioned, the most

A MYSTERY IN WHITE.
A Live Snake in a Boys Stomach.
HE DIED OF HEMORRHAGE SOON AFTER 1T
HAD BEEN PUILED FROM HIS MOUTH

HE DIED OF HEMoRRHAeE SOON AFTER 1T
LEWISTON, Me-, May 13-The almost
incredible story recently printed about the
death of boy near Grand Falls, from
hemorrhage caused by pulling from his
mouth live snake which had grown to his
flesh proves to be literally true. The lads
name was George Murichson, and his age
eight years. He was bright little fellow,
and lived with his parents on farm about
four miles from the town. Early last win
ter the boy began to act strangely sick. He
had a most voracious appetite and it was
impossible for him to get enough to eat
His friends got alarmed about him and sent
for physicians who began dosing him for
worms. AS the winter wore on the boy
grew worse and worse. One day he felt
something crawling up from his stomach
into his throat. He almost choked to death,
for the crawling creature tried Intellectually
to come out by tie nasal passage. In short
time the snake Cor such it was) forced his
way up the boys throat and stuck its head
out of his mouth. The lads sister, who
was near by, saw the head of the serpent
Just before it drew back into the boys
mouth. Very soon the snake stuck his head
out second time, and his little sister made
a grab at it and pulled from the boys mouth
live snake fourteen inches long. 1t had a
piece of flesh attached to its tail nearly as
large as hens egg. The boy lived short
time only after the snake was taken from
him, dying of violent hemorrhage. 1t is
supposed that the boy had gone to sleep in
some field and that the snake had crawled
down his throat. The reptile has been pre-
served in alcohol.

RASPING AND GREASING HORSES HOOFS.
The horse is one of the most superbly per-
feet of Natures works, viewed physically;
and he occupies besides an exalted position
among animals as to his intelligent and
moral qualities. 1t is therefore most pain
full to see how, under the handling of intel
ligent (?) man, he is maltreated and even
abused. He submits his neck to the yoke
uncomplainingly:h he accepts the iron plating
of his feet; and he allows the CALLING check
upon the movements of his head, and yet
gives man his best service even to the death.
The ignorant smith has his views as to
what should be the shape of his feet;
so he cuts and rasps, and forms them to
suit himself. He has an idea, that the hoof
is made on purpose for him to rasp and shoe,
and exercise all the tools of his trade upon.
So he makes shoe and fits the hoof to it;
he removes the natural polished exterior,
which by its tough elasticity defends the
tender part from injury, is nearly imper
vious to water, and permits little evapora-
tiOn of internal moisture, by which it is
kept normally pliable and vitalized to the
very surface. He rounds and smooths of
the new surface; leaves it in a condition TO
allow the moisture of the hoof to pass of
rapidly, and the hoof to dry and crack, and
thus he recommends the application of tar
and grease and lamp block, as if he were
trying to render an old boot pliable and pre-.
sentable. The greasing may be we'll enough
better than nothing-after the mischief
is done. But why do sensible horse e-owners
allow the evil which their peremptory or
ders, if not their mere remonstrances, would
prevent? = american Agriculturist .fo'

FEED FOR BUTTER.-It is not necessary to
feed oily food for a large production of but
ter. On the contrary nitrogenous food mix
ed with selected food rich in starch and pc
culiaIly we'll favored fatty matter is prefer
able. 1t is fact that oils taken into the d.
gestive apparatus are largely absorbed di-
rectly by the blood and are carried without
change into the milk, thus giving to the
butter flavor like that of the food. But
when pease, bran, malt, sprouts and other
food rich in nitrogenous elements and fats
which have an agreeable flavor, are used
with cornmeal or other starchy food, the
whole is thoroughly well digested, and pass
into the blood and the milk in changed
form and not directly. The butter is thus of
better quality than when oil meals are fed.
The selection OF food for dairy COWS ia a
matter for the grestest care, and also for
individual experiment. A good mixture of
food for cows used for making butter is 100
pounds of peas or southern COW peas, 200
pounds of corn, and 200 pounds of fine
wheat or rye bran, all ground together. To
eight quarts of this meal may be added
four quarts of thoroughly soked malt,
sprouts and one Of cottonseed meal for full
daily allowance, divided into three feeds
for large full milking cow.
