Defects in Horses.

We are often very thoughtless in the
treatment of horses. Many men never
seem to think that the horse may have
some natural defect which causes it to
be unruly or vicious. 1t is well known
that defective eyesight often causes a
horse to shy. But men frequently ap-
ply the whip to shying horse, which
is all nonsense anyhow, and never take
the trouble to institute an investiga-
ton for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not the sight is defective.
We see it stated that Pennsylvania
man found that his horse SHE'D be-
cause of near-sightedness and put
spectacles on it <>ahiGh remedied the
trouble. The ssIectacles it is said cost
tWenty-seven dtalars, but they, ada.rzssf
two hundred dolsa;s to tie iatfs of
the animal. The heering and re eye
sight may be defective I'D 81 is al
ways worth while to look into such
things, before we sacrifice Ehe animal
and certainly before we fail to beating

CRiCkETS IN ALGERIA,
Railway Trains stopped by Immense
Swarms of the Insects.

Railway Trains stopped by Immense
Swarms of the Insects.
Accounts are published of the de-
gastation caused by crickets in AL
geria. The insects resemble, but are
not identical with, either locusts or
grasshoppers. Last year swarms of
grasshoppers ravaged the colony. This
year the crickets have taken their
place. They spring like grasshoppers,
but have more rapid and sustained
fight They form clouds, which shut
out the sight of the sun. When thew
alight on the ground, they destroy
every trace of vegetation. They some.
times fall exhausted ON the ground in
such numbers as to cover it with a Law
er of dead bodies, from which pesti-
lential exhalations arise. The CORE
spondent of Paris newspaper, in a
letter from Algeria, says that the rail-
way trains have been stopped by the
insects between Constantine and Batna.
The method still employed to check
the evil in the African possessions of
France is the old and expensive one of
digging long trenches at a right angle
to the advancing swarms, and placing
on the most distant side a sort of
fence, formed by web of cloth. The
advancing insects strike against the
cloth, fall into the pit, and are there
covered with lime or mould. The
Algerian authorities have spent 7OO.-
900 francs in destroying them, and
now contemplate further expenditure
of 100000 francs to complete the
work. 1t was recently stated that the
English authorities in Cyprus had
traced the locusts in that island to their
breeding places, and had there to a.
great extent succeeded In DESTROYING
them in germ, before they became de-
veloped into the destructive swarms
which periodically devastated that
island. As yet the French do not ap-
pear to have introduced this method
into Algeria. London Times Paris

Cavalry in the Future.

Up to a quite recent date we were
told that because of the quick-frine
small arms there would be no use fol-
cavalry, for that they could not hope
to get within striking distance. VIZ
all remember to have read how the
French squares in the battle of the
Pyramids beat the famous Mameluke
cavalry, 10000 strong, under Mourad
Bey; and if muzzle-loaders could dc
this how could horses avail against
magazine guns? But supposing the
Mameluke cavalry to have had ma
chine guns like those the continental
cavalry are now being reinforced with,
perhaps then the result would have
been quite different, and forty centuries
would have looked down upon broken
squares and inriding horses and routed
infantry the flying battery of machine
guns being brought into play before
the charge. From time to time ex-
celent military authorities have pct
ured the potency of cavalry supported
by machine guns, declaring that in
fantry, if not similarly armed, could
not oppose such force, the machine
gun having a range OF $500 yards,
nearly three times that of the effective
ness even of the improved rifle. Unless
they occupied fortified camp they
would have to run for it, which, with
horsemen in pursuit, would not better
their chances of safety, but, on the
contrary, place them at the mercy Of
the troopers. Chicago NesUs.

BE MERRY AND GAY.
A Good and Most Reliable Recipe for Pro-
longing Life.

longing Life.
1t is tersely said that '.all fools are
mad, though some are madder thar
others and perhaps among the mad.
! dest of them it would be safe to reckon
; those who having but one Life to live
run through it in vain lamentation
over troubles which they can't avoid
! or, what is vainer, over those which
they can and which sometimes are SO
far in the future that they never come
to bother them. To s'take Time by the
forelock" is very profitable grip to
hold on that slippery old fellow; but
Trouble is not so slippery, and we could
practice our haste and activity rather
in keeping out of her way as long as
possible-to build up wall Of mirth,
as it were, between her and us, over
which her clumsy feet would never
venture to climb.
Gravity is a grave thing. 1t may be
appropriate at certain times and in GER
tain places. but as an everyday dish it
is tough and indigestible. A continual
diet of India rubber, would, perhaps,
be as favorable to the growth and
flourish of body and mind. There
fore, if we are wise as well as grave,
we can show our wisdom in no stronger
way than dropping our gravity and
playing the fool now and then"
Even Socrates himself knew the danger
of too much gravity, and frequently
took occasion to sink some of it in the
gay tide of merriment.
"Mirth" says an old writer, ''purgeth
the blood, confirms health, causeth
fresh, pleasing and fine color, pro-
longs life, whets the wit, and maketh
the body young, lively and fit for any
manner of employment" And if we
need further proof of its life-giving
properties we can find it in the Bible,
spread forth in unequivocal and I'M
mistakable words: "A merry heart is
the life of the flesh" saith the Prov
cribs; and in Ecclesiastes we are told
that ''gladness prolongs mans days"
In the Flooding, matter-of-fact days
of the present, it seems, we have too
little time to think of much else than
business, serious business:n and, when
we come to think of it, it is a serious
business to have our lives shortened
with cares and labors-cares and labors
that would be a great deal more pala-
table and far less death-dealing if
seasoned with little mirth and non
sense.
Let us reform this altogether and
take profitably to heart Shakespeare's
advice:
Frame your mind for mirth and merriment
Which bars a thousand harms

A Unique Telegraph System.

There has grown up among the
farmers of a county in Michigan tele-
graph system which might be gener-
ally extended throughout the rural
districts everywhere. The system be-
gan by two farmers connecting their
houses with wire for their own con-
| venience and operating their lines with
the ordinary Morse instruments. Grad
ually other farmers extended the line
to their houses, and after time the
wire was run into the neighboring vii
lage. Seven years ago the combined
farmers and few village merchants
organized themselves into company
and it has since been extended until
now it has sixty-ffve miles of wire and
ninety offices, two-thirds of the latter
being in farm houses, and nearly all
the rest in stores where these farmers
do their trading. One or two news
paper offices, as many more railroad
freight offices, the county telephone
exchange and the larger post-offices
are all connected. Every farmer is
his own operator, battery man and line
repairer. OF course, any quantity of
private communication is kept up be-
tween the stockholders of this indie
pendent system. There are two or
three independent systems of these
lines in operation in the country, ar
ranged so that they can be connected
with each other at the intersecting
points, and the whole scheme is being
worked very cheaply and successfully.
