Care of Colts in Winter.

II is necessary, in order to have a
colt grow into a well-developed horse,
that special pains should be taken to
have him kept thriving during his first
winter. If foalcd late in the season,
he should have an extra ration in case
the mares milk is not sufficient to
keep him growing and in good flesh.
SKINNED milk will answer for this,
and Il little oil-meal or cotton-sced
meal should be mixed with it, the
amount to be given depending on the
age and Size of the colt. From u pint
to a quart OF the meal per day will be
sufficient for II colt six months
old, according TO his size.

provided for colts, from one to four
quarts per day, the amount depending.

and development of the colt. One or
two quarts Of bran per day will hs

winter is a favorable time to handle
the colt, teaching him to lead quietly
if he has not already learned this, and
by occasionally placing harness on
him accustOm him to wearing it.

The Chicago Times comments as fol-

morous vein:

Mr.. Richardson is democrat. and ex-

rifle, a bowie knife and pair Of spurs
completed the outfit. Mr.. Richardson
has a sand-bag which was presented to
him on the occasion of his expected re-
moval to the West Side. Mr.. Peck pur-
chased a howitzer and couple Of In
dian clubs.
Tomorrow evening these gentlemen
will entertain some of their friends
with a farewell dinner at the press
club, on which occasion the bill of fare
will consist OF what they expect to sub
sist on when they reach Wichita. 1t

Birth of an Ostrich.

Wild ostrich eggs are huge affairs,
rs large around as a quart measure,
says a Los Angeles correspondence Of
the New Orleans Times Democrat.
They lay out in the open field, and
just as was hanging over fence,
wickedly waving my jacket to make
the majestic ostrich perform an I'M
dignified pirouette, one of the eggs
broke open and out popped little Os-
trich.
Immediately these was a great COM
motion and everybody rushed breath
lessly in our direction. The keeper
was told the news and came hurrying
with CALCULATIONS of surprise. He
vaulted the two fences at the furthest
distance from the mother ostrich and
made in the direction of the newcomer;
but when the mother bird took long
strides in his direction and manifested
a lively curiosity as to his purpose. the
keeper vaulted again over the near
est fence and disappeared from the
scene. 1t was quite comical to see the
old bird with her newborn offspring.
At first she disdained to notice the lit
tie thing, which looked about the size
of a two-months old chicken, aud sought
to follow the parental guidancs by rum

pectedly topping over or turning q

plumes. think she saw by our ex-
pressions that we did not approve OF
such Spartan motherhood, such nm
natural calming of the emotions, for

and bestowed motherly kiss upon her
solitary scion. There was thrill OF
satisfaction along the whole line OF
spectators when she finally sat herself
down upon her nest and drew the ugly
duckling under shelter of her rarely
plumaged wings.

The Mikado company arrived in
Usage City Thursday all safe and
sound and proceeded at once to Howe's
opera house, where a short rehearsal
was held, when every one went up to
the Everest hotel where. supper was
served. The hotel is indeed very
nice one and the young folks put in the
time in singing, dancing and social
conversation. Many of the company
called on the city schools and visited
the teachers from this city who are en-
gagged there. They found them all
enjoying good health and seemed to
be much pleased with seeing so many
Emporia people. Others of the visI-
tors called on the newspaper Offices
and were coGrteously shown through
the composing and press rooms. At
$50 a most enjoyable supper was
served at the hotel. More music and
dancing occupied the time until seven
O'Clock when the company repaired
to the opera house.
The Usage band in full uniform
came out and played several airs in
front of the hall. At S:15 the curtain
arose. The house, though small was
well filed and the company did it
self credit. The ladies chorus came
in for the lions share of applause and
Ko Koplayed better than ever before.
The opera over, the lovers of the
dance were given an opportunity to in
dulge in that pleasant pastime. At
Union hall an orchestra and number
of the Usage young people were gath
cred, and the Emporia people joined
them in the dance. Rain poured down
but the dancers enjoyed the occasion.
At one O'Clock our people repaired to
the depot, where they we're compelled
to wait until after two O'Clock, No. 2

city a few minutes before 4 O'Clock.

for very fine building which is being

The building complete will cost thirty

and iron. the body of tile structure be-
ing brick. The plans and details were
drawn by former resident of this city,
George Shaffer, who is DOW at Abilene
and the work is being superintendent
by Mr.. J. III. Peck, formerly contrac-
tor of this city. The stone is being cut
by number of Nerkmen of this city and
Jones & Son are figuring on the iron
work So it will be seen that Emporia
figures in the construction very mate

TOO MNOR DOGNA.

The New York Herald calls atten-
ton to the fact that while trivial ex-
cuses keep people from church on Sun
day, the real reason is that sermons
are dull and uninteresting, and cites
as exceptions to prove the rule the
cases of Eeber Newton, Talmage,
Taylor. Preston. Hall and Paxton. pop
ular ministers of that city, whose
churches are all too small to accommo-
date the throngs that come regularly,
rain or shine.
There is good deal in what the Her
aid says. People do not as rule, go
! to church as they used to do, to sing
and pray and browse through long
and tiresome sermon on dogma, or
some unimportant hair-splitting ex-
plot of the pastor. Nowadays they

brief, pointed prayer, and then preach
a sermon with many of the attributes
of lecture; a sermon not dry and
fusty with dogma and creed, but fresh
and brainy, with criticism of morals as
they exist, and their relations to re-
ligious life.
If this is a skeptical age, perhaps il
is because folks are asked to explore

sMedicus" writes to the London Ian
Get from Middlesex Hospital: Having
found in the course of my private pTac-
tice and that of the hospital a marked
increase in cases of malignant throat
diseases, ], together with some of my
colleagues, have made some careful re-
searches into the cause of this, and
finding that males were almost eXclu-
sively affected led US on the track that
smoking was in a great many instances
the primary cause. / am not by any
means one of those who consider the
pipe. a cigar, or the ordinary cigarette
injurious, but am persuaded that the
cigarette imported from Egypt or
Turkey is mixed, presumably to give
it peculiar taste or favor, with some
insidious poison. I am led to this con-
elusion by careful analysis of both
the home manufacture and that Of the
foreign. In the latter large proper
tion of opium and an unclassified aka
loid was manifest. which was totally
absent in the former, and It viii be OBJ
