The MOnstrous Cruelty Of This Horribl
gss54 and Painful Operation.

The Monstrous Cruelty Of This Horrible
ssgs and Painful Operation.
Irish drovers who ship beeves across
the Irish Channel to the English
market knock off the horns with
bludgeons as the readiest means of
packing the wretched brutes into the
vessels hold. Next to this monstrous
cruelty is the American dishorning
with saw, a practice lately brought
under cognizance of Illinois courts.
The evidence given by the defense was
shamefully false. 1t was claimed that
the animals suffered SO little that they
did not care for it! That the operation
saved quarter of the feed! And the
brutal butcher b!asphcmously .cx-
pected that God would give him big
credit mark for introducing the custom
in Illinois!'' wv
Any owner of cattle who has seen a
COW dishorned by accident, as in play
with another or by a fall, and has seen
the beast writhe with the pain, although
the most sensitive part, the core, was
not broken and the shell only knocked
off. can not doubt the fact that to cut
through the sensitive core adds greatly
to the intensity of the pain. The lining
vascular membrane of the horn core is
as sensitive as the lining of the nostril.
and if one wishes to test the delicacy of
this let him put a grain of cayenne pep
per upon it. To saw through the horn
close to the head is not only to mangls
the membrane over large surface, but
it exposes the frontal SINUS to the irri-
tating effect of the air and inflames 1t.
To stop the orifice with tar may re-
lieve this result Of the operation, but it
leaves the wound to Tester and infiame
while it slowly heals. The claim that
avicious bull after having been dis
horned ''could be led by thirteen-year-
old boy" simply proves the painful re-
suit OF 1t, for the animal would be una
BILE to bear a touch upon the wounded
skull and would necessarily refrain
from it.. As last resort in such case
the practice might be justified; but to
torment thousands of inoffensive cat
tie that they may be more closely
crowded into the cars Is a cruelty which
calls for the most severe repression. =

A substance Extracted from Coal Tar
.Fs'I which Is sweeter Ths. Sugar. lla
Mr.. Ivan Levinstein. the President
of the Manchester section Of the Socie-
ty of Chemical Industry, calls attention
to a new substance which is extracted
from coal tar, and possesses sweeten-
ing properties far stronger than the
best cane or beet-reot sugar. This sub
stance. he says, seemed likely to enter
into daily consumption. According to
Mr.. Levinstein, one part Of 1t win give
a very sweet taste to ten thousand parts
OF water. for it Is two hundred and
thirty times sweeter than best sugar,
and taken In the quantities added to
food as sweetening material. has no in
Furious effects whatever on the human
system. Patients suffering. from dia-
betes have been treated for the last
few months in one of the principal hos
pitfalls in Berlin with saccharin without
feeling In the least inconvenienced by
its use. The use of saccharin would,
therefore, Mr.. Levinstein said, be not
merely probable substitute for sugar,
but it might even be applied to medici-
nal purposes 1 where sugar WAS not
permissible. e.--SCientifc american. i

uresque in his bright blue jacket, with
its double row of silver buttons, which.
by the way, are not for use but solely
for ornament, for a Mexican never
buttons his jacket, else he would hide
his gaudy calico shirt. On his neither
limbs are leggings of leather or buck
skin to protect his legs from the sharp
thorns through which he will be forced
to march. These are kept in place by
crimson, orange or blue sash, over
which is buckled broad sash full of
cartridges. On his head is the inevi-
table sombrero, with its ornamentation
of gold and silver, lace. If he is {.
sensible man, hia sserape will be tied

site arm he. will carry, q Winchester

"Well, you know that there is great
deal of fraud in the show business as
well rs in other professions and other
lines of trade. On general principles a
Snowman will pay the highest rates for
any animal he can advertise for any
especial peculiarly or quality. The
most glaring instance can remember
is the price paid for Jumbo. We had
here couple of Malay elephants that
came from u mountainous country, and
which, by q provision of nature, were
covered with hair four or five inches
long to keep out the cold. There was
nothing very extraordinary about that.
Perhaps; but those animals were widely
advertised as 'woolly,' and we had no
difficulty in disposing of them for $1O,-

Major Powell, Chief of the Geologi-
cal Survey, has discovered In New

he pronolnces to be the Oldest human
habitation upon the American conti-
nent The mountains In this vicinity
are covered with huge beds q lava, in
which the prehistoric man and his COM
rades excatatsd square rooms, which
were lined with species of plaster
made from the lava. and In these rooms
were found various evidences of quite
an advanced civilization, among them
q species Of cloth made, Of woven hair
and large number OF pieces of pot
terry. In the sides OF the rooms cup
boards and shelves were excav ated.a =
In one room, sticking out of the bare
face of the wall, was small branch Of
q tree. When this was pulled out, 1t
was found that there was hollow
space behind the wall. Colonel j. II.
Stephenson, Major Powell's assistant
broke this with . pick and found a little
concealed niche, In which was a small
carved figure resembling man done
up in . closely-Yoven, fabric. vbich

the mummy cloths Of Egypt. lp, all,
some sixty groups Of these lava villages
were fouid, there being twenty houses

their crudity and want of skill good

why They Should BE Particularly Careful
to Avoid Undue Haste. ''
Age works great physical changes,
many of which are generally recog-
nizcd. Some Of them involve danger
Gus liabilities and impose the need of
constant caution. One is to guard
against undue exertion. The tough,
elastic coat of the arteries is apt to be-
come, on the one hand, chalk-like' and
brittle, or. on the other, fatty and weak.
Nature seems to guard against the con-
sequent danger by rendering old per-
sons less inclined to effort. Buta little
extra exertion put forth suddenly, may
cause the weakened vessels to give way
from the Increased force with which
theheart throws the blood into them.
Hence may result apoplexy or fatal
aneurism-the latter being sudden
bulging out of arteries, So, too, the
heart itself (or its aorta-the great
curved trunk which first receives the
blood from the Hearty may be in a
similar condition, and suddenly fail
because of undue exertion, when 1t
might have been equal to the ordinary
work ofyears. Such no doubt was the
late case, where an elderly gentleman
hurried to reach q railroad train, and
fell dead on entering it. The aged
should firmly refuse to hurry !jlFb \
A like caution applies to whatever
quickens the action of the heart. Every
one knows the power Of violent emo
tions in, this respect. No one wishes
to fall dead in . fit of anger. Undue
eating, especially of stimulating food,
is almost as dangercus.A All the Cappe-
tites need to be kept under control. A
special caution Is needed in descending
stairs. In our normal voluntary move
m ents there are certain nice adjust
ments effected by unconscious mental
acts. But age effects such q change in
the brain substance that mental activ-
ity is lessenet An old man ban no
more think as rapidly as. q young man
than he can run as fast, Of jump ~
high. Hence the missteps Of the aged
in descending stairs. Aged persons,
therefore, should form the habit Of
taking their bearings, SO to speak, at
the top of the Stairs. and Keep their
mind on each step down by a conscious
voluntary effort. The aged should also
most carefully guard against a chill.
It is more dangerous for an old man to
catch cold than for young man to
catch fever. Youths Companion.
