"LOcOedo Horses.

Mir. E. M Vail, Kewanee, Ill.,, writes to the Breeders Gazette: ''In your issue of the 25th ut. one of your readers wants to know if there is any cure for ''locoed" horses. I was on the western plains a number of years and had the misfortune to have considerable experience with poisoned horses. The common practice was to give quart of grease, shut the animal up and feed hay and grain, and if not too badly affected they recovered. My opinion is they would do just as well without the grease if shut up and fed hay and grain. The loco contains narcotic poison, and I think tincture of nux vom- lea IS the proper remedy. Give ten drops three times day, keep the animal from the loco and give generous feed of hay and grain. If your inquirer wants to know more of my experience and treat m ent he may write me and l will give him more details"

Hereditary Deafness.

For several months Professor Bell has been going deep into his researches on the subject of hereditary deafness. He has conducted wonderfully large core spondence with people in all parts of the world to hunt up every scintilla of evil dence necessary to trace out genealogies. He will eventually make public his dis coyeries, showing hereditary deafness in the same line of descent for 200 years. The professor has also constructed valu- able machine for talking with deaf mutes. It is something like the typewriter in theory, having keyboard which turns up big, plain letters in such way as to construct word, and to facilitate conver- sation.-Chicago Times.

Chloride of Sodium.

The salt mountains of Nevada, the salt island in Louisiana, as well as various other deposits of chloride of sodium in different parts of the world, are almost absolutely pure chloride of sodium. Of 22.28 per cent. of salts found in Great Salt lake, the remarkable proportion of 20.19 per cent. is found to be pure chloride of sodium, and yet many of the streams running into the lake contain vastly larger. quantities of other salts; some of the water is so heavily charged with nitrates and sulphates of soda and potash as to be unfit for animals to drink and all the potash salts in the lake have disappeared. The peculiar character of these phenomena have long been studied by geologists and chemists, but no one theory in particular appears to be applic- able to all the facts presented in the localities named.-New York Sun.

Our Indian School.

A representative of the Star accompa- nied by Rev. Geo. Newton and others visited the Indian training school on Monday, in the old public school build ing in this city. There are twenty-sey- en Indian children, fourteen of whom are boys. They are presided over by a matron, teacher, seamstress and farm in- structor. The children are of the Pa pago, Maricopa and Pima tribes and all have been gathered into this industrial institution during the last two months The fact could not but be observed that the work here undertaken has already been marked in its results. The boys and girls all appear cheerful and happy and show remarkable progress in sing ing They also speak a number of Eng fish sentences They are drilled in the habits of industry, in keeping their rooms in order and washing their cloth ing. The girls are taught sewing, wash ing and ironing and general housework. The boys will take their turn cn the h. dian school farm in the valley, commen- cling probably this week. The school building has been made attrac tive. There are two dormitories, one for the boys and one for the girls, each provided with single beds. The rooms are neat and attractive and the walls are adorned with attractive paintings. The dining room is also arranged so as to give much cheer to the little dusky boys and girls In the kitchen there IS large cooking range where the little folks learn the practical method of preparing food. Here there is blackboard upon which is written the names of those who have been assign ed to the various duties of the week, such as cooking, washing, making beds, etc. The .assignm ent to these duties are made weekly. Outside of the main building there are wash and bath houses which are presided over by the matron and where cleanliness of body and clothing is practically taught.
 Those of our citizens who would know W more of this institution and of its prac- tical benefits should make 1t visit. They will come to the conclusion that we have in our midst work in progress which will be far reaching in it's good results, and that industrious, practical and valu- able domestics and intelligent farmers and mechanics will be the outcome of the Tucson Indian industrial school.-- l Star

Monkey Held for a Crime.

A monkey exhibited at a museum es- tabhshed at Tacubaya, Mexico, was con demned to be shot under judicial sentence. It seems that the animal bit a man, who died from the results of the bite. The family of the deceased brought complaint before judge, who was foolish enough to institute criminal proceedings against the monkey and sentenced him to be shot. Luckily the manager of the museum brought influence to bear and succeeded in obtaining change of the sentence to perpetual imprisonment. The monkey is now enduring the punishment of his crime behind the bars of an iron cage at the museum. go Herald.

Anecdote of .Jennv Lind.

When Jenny Lind was in Edinburgh in the year 1865, she was one day purchas- ing songs in a music sellers in Prince street. The attendant who served her, a young man, not knowing who stood before him, asked if she had yet been to hear the great "Jenny Lind" The question being answered in the affirma- tive, and he in turn being asked by this stranger if he had heard the Swedish Nightingale, he replied that, much though he desired to hear her, the very high prices of the tickets were far beyond his slender income. Jenny Lind then asked him to play the accompaniment to the song which she held in her hand. Quite unconscious of everything but the sweet notes which poured forth from this strangers throat, the young man played on. Al the close the singer turned round bade him adieu, and with the words, "Now you have heard Jenny Lind" walked out of the saloon, without waiting fer a word of thanks from the asto:nshed youth.

RECOLLECTlONS.

As when player, weary of the day, Takes up his instrument and plays along, First aimlessly, until unto some song, Heard long ago, his fingers find their way The old tune bringing memories which lay Deep buried in the past once glad and strong. He feels again those joys around him throng, And weeps erewhile to think they cannot stay; So l, a-wearY with the passing hours, In musing fell upon the name of one, Now dead and gone, who once was dear to me, And recollection sweet as summer showers Came back, swift as the first faint gleams that
 run,
 At dawn, across great gray waste of sea.

It was not known until last year that the Moors would permit any examination of the cliff dwellings which have long been known to exist some days journey from Morocco. This strange city of the cave dwellers is almost exactly like some of those in Arizona and New Mexico, and other territories which archeologists have explored. The dwellings were dug out of the solid rock, and many of them are over two hundred feet above the bot tom of the valley. The face of the cliff is in places perpendicular, and it is te- lieved that the troglodytes could have reached their dwellings only with the aid of rope ladders, Some of the dwell lings contain three rooms, the largest of which is about F by feet, and the walls of the larger rooms are generally pier ced by windows. Nothing is known as to who these cave dwellers were.-Ex.

Relics of Mound Builders.

The region around Plainfeld, Ind, is very rich in relics of the Mound Builders and of later Indians, and almost every week some farmer brings into town Q collection of stone implements, rude or nalnents and pieces of ancient pottery which have been dug up on his farm. The most recent discovery was that of an immense spear head of slate, which must have beer wielded by some giant of pre- historic times. - New York Evening World.

FREAKS OF An INSANE NAN.

Sunday night Officer Bedford Woods
was approached by man VINO in an ex-
cited and incoherent manner called upon
him to accompany him to certain place
where he said he had seen ghosts and hob
COLLINS and all sorts Of serrors- The OH
Ger, believing that the man was insane, re-
fused to accompany him and he went off
alone.
Yesterday morning he was again seen at
the Douglas avenue house where he was
striking every colored man he came
across. He was taken in charge by an
officer and locked up in the cooler. In the
afternoon he was tried before q jury for
insanity at the probate court but a verdict
of mot insane" being returned he was per-
mitted to go free. As soon rs released he
commenced raging around the court room
demanding from Under Sheriff Brown
certain papers which he said Brown had
belonging to him. Later he was seen by
Market street seeking to recover his papers
which he claimed she had concealed in her
market basket. The woman, seeing that
she was followed, lodged into store in
the Israel-Myers block and he, going up
stairs in search of her, was arrested and
again locked up. He had been in the cell
but short time before he had torn off all
his clothing and was standing yelling and
asking for his papers.
His name, it is said, is John W. Lesson
and he seems to be in search of some pa
pers'' which he says is worth $1,000 He is
constantly gathering up scraps of paper,
rolling tenn up and putting them in his
pocket as if they were rolls of money. His
home is said to be In Atchison.

A NEW BENEvoLENCE.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
That a recently instituted effort in the
line of Christian beneYolence in this city
may the more rapidly meet its object, it is
necessary that the public should know
its location and the character of ITS work.
On Pennsylvania avenue, No. lis, adj
joining the Children's Home, is the new
Christian enterprise under the name of
Faith Home, in charge of Miss Selma
Fountain. young lady of rare Christian
gentleness and rich experience, with two
estimable co-workers, Mrs. and Miss
Cant.
The objects are first, to provide a tenn
porary home for women and girls neccs-
sarily out of employment, or such as may
be discharged from hospitals and unable
to resume work, and to procure proper sit
uations for the guests OF the home.
1t is also part of the work Of this mis-
sion to inculcate amongst Christians the
doctrines and experience of holiness and
divine healing. TO facilitate which meet
ings are held at the home on
each Friday at 3 p. m, attended
by Christians of the various
denominations for conference, Testimony
and prayer concerning these themes. To
these meetings all such as are hungering
and thirsting after Righteousness are in
vited to come
These ladies make no pretense Of being
faith DOCTORS" nor are they in the least
sympathetic with Christian science"
which seems to be combination of Pan
theism and mind cure" But having
themselves been restored TO health by the
Masters touch" they desire in these
meetings to teach others whom the works
of the law in the use Of medicine have
failed TO benefit, the way of faith and unite
with other Christians in the prayer of
faith that shall save the SICK" that the
Lord may raise him up"
Lastly, it is the preeminently the design
of this undertaking that it shall be
work of faith" 1t has therefore been be

pendence on the Lord for material support.
