Horses at Rest.

There are some curious facts about
the disposition of horses to lie down.
To Woodworking horse repose is as
almost great necessity as good food,
but tired as he may be he is often
shy about lying down, even when a
nice clean bed of straw is provided
for him. The writer once rode a
mare seventy miles in single day.
The stable in which she was put for
the night was as comfortable in every
way as it could be made, yet she
stood the whole night through. She
ate her oats and hay and then " ent
to sleep. leaning forward with her
breast against the manger. There
are horses that have never been
known TO lie down, and if they have
ever done 80 it was only for short
time, and at an hour " hen they were
not likely to be seen. No marks have
ever been discovered upon their coats
which would Indicate that they. had
been lying down. A horse 10 recalled
now that occupied for fifteen years, :,
from the time he was two years old,
the first stall in grandfather's stable.
Up to the hour he died no one had
ever seen him lying down, and
several times after wearisome drives
of about eight or ten hours, watch
was placed on him to see if during
the night he would lie down but he
was never caught in that position,
and he could not be tempted to re-
cline by the sweetest and cleanest of
bedding. He died literally upon his
feet. He was taken sick. and in Civ
ing him drench from lOng-necked
bottle, with his head pulled up to a
beam, he suddenly fell back and ex-
pired.
Unless a horse lies down regularly
his rest cannot be complete, and his
joints and sinews stiffen !; and, while
it is true that horses that sleep in a
standing position continue to work
for many years, it is equally true
that they would continue to work
for many. years longer, and perform
their work much better, if they res
ted naturally. Young horses from a
country stable may refuse to lie
down when put into a stable in town,
and the habit may become confirmed
unless inducements are offered.
Horses can be taught to lie down,
and they can also be taught to be as
neat and clearly in their habits as
individuals.
1t is very rare thing for horses
afflicted with disease that superin-, /,
duces fever to lie down. They will
stand up until nature becomes COM
pletely exhausted, and their limbs
refuse to sustain them. They have
an instinct which teaches them If
they lie down it may be difficult for
them to get upon their feet again. A
sick horse, because of his evident
knowledge of his own condition and
his inability to communicate the
symptoms and the nature of 1t, com.
mends himself to human sympathy
more than any other animal. Horses
have horror of death, and especially
dread death in their own kind. A
horse may be sick in company with
a stableful of horses, and the others
will not notice him at all. but the
moment he dies there Is cOnsterna-
ton through the entire stable. A
horse may be absolutely fearless of
every inanimate thing that comes to
notice, but will be frightened beyond
measure at the sight of one of his
own kind lying dead by the road
side.-Horse and Stable.

A Tidal Wave.

It is tidal wave of INSTRUCTED and
determined public sentiment that
has been running against Constitu.
tional Prohibition and that swept
oyer Rhode Island yesterday with
such resistless power. Merely local
and temporary causes cannot account
for the successive and cumulative
verdicts of the peoples of States in all
sections and with varied characteris-
tics that have been rendered against
Constitutional Prohibition by major.
tiles that were all emphatic and some
of them phenomenal and almost
reaching unanimitv.
During the past two years, and be.
fore Rhode Island had voted on the
question, the following States had re-
jected the proposition to embody Pro-
hibition in a constitutional amend
ment and by the majorities indicated:
Michigan-........ 5,645 West Virginia.. S5,57l
Texas............... 81, 66l New Hampshire 5000
Tennessee~."".. q SOB Massachusetts,. 4, 552
Oregon...... ........ 1885 Pennsylvania. 1851
But the verdict of Rhode Island
was the most decisive of all. for 1t
was rendered after three years of &C.
tual trial of Constitutional Prohibi.
ton. which was adopted in 1886 by
1918 votes in favor to $3.50 against.
There is no evidence that any unfair
or corrupt means were used to pro.
cure the reversal of this vote yester-
day. According to all accounts the
contest was quiet and orderly, al
though it was earnest and we'll or.
ganized on the part of the advocates
of the repeal of the amendment. The
vote by counties was as follows;
