An Extraordinary Incident

For four years Mrs. Benjamin Mover.

Not long ago she was taken i'll. so that
she had to stay in bed several days
On the fourth day she awoke in the
morning aud exclaimed: my God in
Heaven, seer' Her husband rushed
to the bedside uand was recognized
Then the other members Of the house
hold came in and were recognized.
She pointed out different articles Of
furniture in the room, told different
persons what they were wearing, and
in many ways proved that she saw.
She asked that all her children and
grandchildren. twenty-five in all, come
to her bedside, and they did. She told
them that she had earnestly prayed
that she might see them all once be-
fore she died, and this was the answer
to her prayer. Then she said: "This
is the last day that l shall ever have

the next morning as blind as ever, and
has been so ever since.-N 7. Swa.

Dumas fills tells some interesting stories
of his father and grandfather, of which
we reproduce the following:
DUMAS AND THE CABMAN.
My father had inherited from my
grandfather remarkable strength, of
which had the first experience when
1 was fourteen or fifteen years OF age.
One Sunday he had taken me to the
Gymnase. At the end Of the play it
rained in torrents He moved toward

signaled me to follow him. He gave
an address to the cabby, who stood up
right beside his vehicle, into which

not respond, but remained with his
hand on the door. Then my father
seized him round the waist. lifted him
up from the ground, and planting him
on the seat said: Go now Then
taking his place in the cab, he said:
"Bear in mind always how to do with
an Obstinate coachman." have not
forgotten the procedure, but have

FEEDING YOUNG COLTS.
Some Good Suggestions Furnished by
Prof Sanb0rn.

Some Good Suggestions Furnished by
Prof Sanborn.
Prof. Sauborn, of the Missouri Agri-
cultural College. gives in the follow
ing paragraphs some good suggestions
on feeding of colts:
1t may be assumed. in the absence of
analyses OF the entire horse. that it
contains less fat than any other farm
animal, and its growth is therefore
relatively larger than that of any other
domestic animal. Experience teaches
us that fattening foods are misplaced
when fed to growing colt. All young
animals that have fed have shown
experimentally the marked necessity
of easily digestible foods. Let the
colt, when first fed hay, have choices
clover and the best fine hay. ground
oats or ground peas. or barley meal.
to which add a mere mite of oil mea!
and carrots. Skim-milk may well be-
added; it will give . very heterogeneous
diet
The analyses Of mares milk shows
a greater rstiO of albuminoids (aesh
formers) to carbohydrates (fat form
ers) than cows milk. which is conclu-
sive as to colts diet when young.
Don't pinch your colts. Feed lib
orally. The colt may be pushed for
ward as rapidly as the steer. This
growth, if not that of fat, as it need
not be. need not give a spiritless or
effeminate colt; yet I would not press
the point Of early maturity rs would
that Of the steer, for the body may
outstrip the acquisition Of matured
powers II for sale, and moral issues
left out. the most money will come
from quick growth and early sale. Il
may properly be noted that the test by
Boussingault and Stewart show that .
pound of colt is made with as little
fodder as pound Of steer.
The second winter straw NAV b
fed with clover and hay. The skim
milk may be omitted. while a little
meal may be added. I object to corn
as diet for growing colts. A French
Investigator. by an elaborate test,
found that oats were especially good

atus he found an excitable principle

that crushed oats were moro active
