WRECKED.

The Crew OF q French Vessel Suffer Ter.
ribly After Being Wrecked.
LONDON, July 23.-Particulars of the
wreck OF the French bark Guci,en. on Bird
Island on the Australian cvast, briefly re-
ported by cable. have been received in the
mail which arrived to-day. The vessel
went ashore in terrible storm. Two boats
were launched, one of which was inmedi.
ateiy swamped and its five occupants
dashed to death upon the rocks. The other
boat containing the Captain and nine men,
remained in the vicinity of the wreck all
night At daylight not q vestige of the
vessel remained, and they put to sea in the
hope of being picked up The supply of
food and water was exhausted on the Sec
ond day, but no help seemed at hand. On
the third day the survivors suffered the
most terrible agony from starvation
ana thirst but il was mutually
agreed that they would die one by
one until all were gone rather than resort
70 cannibaiism to prOlong life. On the
fourth day seven of the party were ex-
hausted and delirious, and on the fifth day
0ut one man was capable of acting as look
out He, too, was about to succumb to ex-
haustiOH when just at dusk his white flag
of distress was sighted by the crew of the
schooner Jesse Matilda. and a few minutes
later the shipwrecked mariners were on
beard Of that vessel. Six of tie number
were AT the point of death, but heroic rene
dies were applied and they recovered.
They were subsequently landed at keppei
Bay, and cared for by the inhabitants and
colonial authorities. They are now on
their May back to France

THE DROUTH.


Desperate State OF Affairs Resulting From
the Drouth in Texas.
Fort WORTH. Tex, July 23.-The terri
bic drouth in the northwest counties has
been severe on cattle, which suffer for
water as well as grass. In seIf-defense the
ranchmen are drifting or driving them to-
ward the southeast. and this is strenuously
tesis:ed by the farmers who are greatly
damaged thereby. Last night word came
from Decatur, in Wise County, that 10000
head of cattle are near Chico, in Jack
County, coming into Wise County. This
herd is backed by sixty well armed
nen, who are determined the cattle shall
reach the west fork of the Trinity river.
The farmers of the immediate section are
arming and swear the cattle must be turned
back. 4 large squad has gone to the front
With five days rations, prepared to fight ii
necessary, and they are well armed. To-
day the news was carried from farm to
farm and the sturdy planters are turning
put to man to aid their brethren in the
front and join them if necessary. The
county is in ferment ana very serious
trouble is looked for. To turn back means
death to the cattle of this vast herd. To
come on through the settled county means
fences destroyed, crops ruined and the
meagre supply of stock water absorbed
Both sides are simply c!amoring for bread
and butter, and are therefore determined
and desperate.

CoNGEsTED BRAINS.
Disorders of Brain and Body Governed by
a Perfect Similarity of Laws.

Our article is suggested by one in the
Lancet on The Wear and Tear of
London Life" and we shall appro-
pirate some of its thoughts.
Brain-work, even in its highest
forms. involves purely physical acts as
truly as does that of the muscles of the
stomach. Excessive thought means
cerebral hyperamia as inevitably as
excess in the use of 4 gastric stirnulant
means active congestion of the mu-
cous membrane of the stomach: aud
Just as habitual excessive use of too ir-
ritating food and drink may induce
passive congestion in the intervals. or
rs the sequel. of active congestion Of
the gastric organ. so may too persis-
tent and excessive brain-work tend to
the production of chronic engorge-
ment OF the vessels of the eucephalon"
(the brain), with whatever that phys
ical fact involves or entails" A per-
feet similarity of law governs the de-
velopment of disorders of brain and
body.
Now, as some have inherited weak
muscular system. and others feeble
digestion. so still others, perhaps in
some respects brilliant, have con-
genital inability for considerable or
prolonged brain-w ork, and are almost
sure to be injured by continued
strain.
The times demand in this country,
even more than in England, that BRAIN
workers should have a large reserve of
energy. and capacity for producing
force almost Indefinitely, to meet the
demands of exceptional exigencies.
In our country many enter the pro-
fessions who are naturally equal to
routine work. but are wholly unequal
to the strains of competition and to the
multiplied and varied demands which
SO characterize our times. They con-
stantly aud perilously strike the limits
of their congenital capacity. 1t is
equally so in mercantile life- Not a
few who are equal to snail business
find out that they are not equal to
large one only after both physical and
financial failure. 1t is only less so in
many other forms of business. Thou
sands attempt more than they are
equal to, the continual pressure Of
which results in nervous exhaustion.
Somewhat akin to these are teachers
in our common schools. The early
stages of every profession and business
make peculiar demands on the nervous
force. And vet thousands enter the
teaching profession who do not intend
to remain in it. They stay just long
enough to overwork, and to be injured
in many cases for life. So, also, our
political system constantly brings for
ward new men who must fit themselves
for new and difficult duties at Al i'm
mense cost to the brain. The present
physical condition of some of our pub
lie men is simply prominent illustra-
ton of this fact.-IoutA's Companion.

A SNAKE STORY.
Sedalia Man Has \ Unique Experienc,
With Pettis County Snake.

Sedaiia Man Has q Unique Experience
With Pettis County Snake.
ST. LOUIS, July 24.-Adolph Riecke, a
former popular butcher of Sedalia, but at
present residing on farm ten miles south
west of that city, underwent an experience
yesterday morning that lie does not care to
repeat at an early day.
Having business at a small strear, on his
farm, where lot Of driftwood accumulated
on the occasion of the last heavy rains, Mr..
Riecke repaired to the spot and began re-
Ioving the rubbish. Suddenly he ceased
his operations and stood aghasr, for direct
ly in front of him, with head erect and
mouth open. stood monster snake of the
species Known As the COW snake.
Frightened half out of his wits. and
scarcely knowing what he did, Mr.. Riecke
seized tie reptile around the neck and then
began most desperate battle. First the
snake would be on top and then Riecke.
In this manner they tusse!ed for fully ten
minutes. when Riecke got in his work On
the reptiles head and finally succeeded in
MASKING il. The snake is said to have
been the largest ever seen in Peltis County.

CLEANING FARM-HORSES.
One Way Of Prolonsing Their Lives and
Usefulness.

One of the most important things TO
be observed in the management of FARM
horses is their cleaning, and vet it may
be safely stated that nothing is more
neglected by the majority of farmers.
The horse should never be cleaned or
harnessed while it is eating its break
fast. Let horses eat their food in peace.
for many, from sanguine temperament
or greed. bolt their oats when handled
during the time of feeding. Harness
can be quickly enough put on after the
feed is eaten. and time should then be
taken to comb the name and tail and
use wisp of straw on the body and
legs. When the horses come in at din
ner time. they should at once be I'M
harnessed. The feed is then to be given,
and before the harness is again put on.
the horse should be thoroughly rubbed
down with a wisp of straw or hay. If
the horses are very warm on coming in.
they should be rubbed down immedi-
ately after the removal of the harness.
The cleaning or grooming. which
should be done at night, consists first in
currying the horse with the curry comb
to free him of the dirt adhering to the
hair. and which, being now dry. is
easily removed. A wiSping of straw
removes the roughess of the dirt loos-
ened by the curry-comb. The legs
ought to be thoroughly wisped, not only
to make them clean, but to dry up any
moisture that may have been left in the
evening: and at this time the feet should
be picked clean by the foot picker. e.,
an iron instrument made for the pur-
pose-of any dirt adhering between the
shoe and the foot The brush IS then to
be used to remove the remaining and
finer portions of dust from the hair.
which is cleared from the brush by
few rasps along the curry-comb. This
wisping and brushing. if done with some
force and dexterity. with combing of the
tail and name. should render the horse
pretty clean. but there are more WAYS
of grooming horse than one, as may
be witnessed BY the careless and skim
ming way in which many hired hands
do il. The skin of the farm horse
should at all times be clean if not sleek.
and a slap upon the horse VIII show if
there is loose dust in the hair. The
eurry-comb should not be used below
the knees. as it is apt to cause injury.
For cleaning the legs and feet nothing
is better than the water brush; and
when fitting horse for the show-yard,
it may also be used on the body with
water, or even little kerosene, but the
latter is not required for common cIeanli-
ness, but merely to impart temporary
gloss.
How many farmers can say that their
horses are cleaned as thoroughly as We
have advised in the above? How much
longer would horses live. work and re-
main healthy if the above suggestions
were put into practice9 These are
questions which it will be well to con-
slider and answer at leisure.-Farmer's

Young Women - They Are and - They
| Should BE.
| If healthy girls are unfortunately not
as common as they ought to be, they
are not rare. But how small is the
number of those who may fairly be
called strong! Yet every well-devel-
oped young woman ought to possess
strength, not only sufficient, but to
spare.
She should be able, of course, to per-
form her daily tasks and enjoy her or
binary amusements without exhaustion;
and, indeed, this ability is what most
girls appear to accept as the test of
their bodily condition 1t does not ap-
pear to occur to them that q woman is
being designed by nature to possess
great endurance and activity. She
ought to delight in putting forth her
power. She should find a walk of from
five to ten miles along pleasant country

from it luxuriously tired, with the COM
Portable consciousness that she will

should be able to leap ditch of re-
spectacle dimensions with no sensation
of breathlessness or fear. She should
also be able to run quarter of mile
without painting and feeling her heart

these things!
The ordinary vouuU woman is s.readv

She never exercises for the sake of en-

perhaps, but she is apt to be FUSED up
afterwards, and spend the rest of the
day on the sofa with book. If she is
at the seaside, she probably runs a
little, climbs little and swims little
as we'll, but not with the vigOr and ex-
uberance which ought to make the
glory of those sports.
There are agreeable exceptions to
this rule. We have seen young lady
who could not only row as far and az
fast as most young men. but who was,
on board yacht, quite as skillful and
active a sailor as any man there, hand
ling the ropes and holding the tiller
like born captain, and with grace
and ease which were the admiration of
the beholders. Another young woman
confesses that she can never see a steep
hill without longing to run down it.
nor nice level stretch of road without

Surely, this is as it should be. Youth,
for girls as well as for young men,
should be time of abounding vigor.

when nothing more is required than
country air and liberty to make it as
difficult for the feet to keep still as for

that he moves away every thing that is

useless; but as long as he remains, all
the mechanical and chemical processes
will go on. in some fashion, in spite of
him. But it is possible for him to dis
turb the orderly working of things by
his folly or neglect. He may withhold
the proper supplies and let the fire
burn SO low as to impede the action of
the machine; or he may introduce vio-
lent infiammables that subject it to
strain which it can not bear. What
of people there are who
seem to forget that their welfare is con-
tingent upon the care they take of the
house in which they live. They are
bound to keep it in good repair. or
they may forfeit their lease. If they
allow the timbers to rot the whole
structure may suddenly tumble about
their ears. If they permit vermin or
filth to accumulate on the premises it
will breed malaria and make the build

"And a Congressman" said Regi-
