An exchange says that the number of
farmers who shoe their own horses is grow
ing rapidly larger. We do not see why. a
farmer cannot shoe q horse as well as the
average horseshoer, to say the least. The
ignorance among horseshoers is very great.
It is not enough by a long ways to shape a
shoe to the foot and nail it on. and yet that.
perhaps. is about all the average h~Orseshoer
knows about the business. 1t will require
but little time for the farmer to learn that
much. 1t is a good thing for the farmer to
learn to shoe his own horses. but he should
never undertake it until he is fully &C
quainted with the structure of the foot. The
number of horses hat are ruined by stupid
shoeing is very large. In answering veter-
mary inquiries we often feel like referring
suspected diseases in the foot to the village
h~orseshoer. and he ought to be a good man
to refer such a case to. His knowledge of
the construction and disease of the feet
should be extensive enough to make him a
frst-class .hoss" doctor, so far as the feet
are concerned. but it would be just as sensi-
BILE to refer a case of foot disease to the
town pump as to refer it to many a horse
sheer. If you mean to shoe your own
horses, enter upon the study of the foot and
its dieases.

mating Aldermen.
The Democratic aldermanic conventions
last night. in some of the districts, were at
tended by almost as much interest as that
found in the primaries the night before.
The usual skirmishing among the delegates
preceded the meeting in the First district,
and it was clear, long before the conven-
ton opened that each ward would present
a candidate, though the delegates were
unanimous in the opinion that the nomi-
nees could not be elected. James Deery
called the meeting to order. and was made
permanent chairman, while the honor of
keeping the records fell to Fred Gregory,
ell the selections being made unanimously.
Nominations were called for, and the First
ward presented Thomas Owens. fireman at
the Atlas englne-works; the Second named
benjamin Kelsey. the Sixth s. o. PIckens,

Attorney Johnson called the attention of
the delegates 10 the fact that Pickens was
not very we'll known to the voters of the
several wards represented. and he pro-
ceeded TO expatiate on his merits as an at
torney. Edward Moore interrupted the
speaker with the exclamation that Pick

Notable Improvement in switching.

The interlocking of switches and sig
mails (the arrangement in a frame OF the
levers moving the switches and those
moving signals in such a way that the
signal which tells the engineer to come
on cannot be given until the switch IS
actually in proper position) is one of the
notable improvements of the last twenty
years and Is great boon to swltchmen
as well as to passengers and the owners
of railroads.
BY the aid of this apparatus and its
distant signals connected by wire ropes,
the switchman's anxieties are reduced
UNNECESSARILY. By concentrating the
levers of a number of switches in sim
ole room one man can do the work OF
several, and to the lookeron the perplexi-
ties of the position seem to have
been increased instead of dimin-
ished. But the switchman's task now is
ola different sort. Under the old plan
hewas constantly on guard lest he make
mistake and derail an engine or car.
Under the new his calculations are
chiefly about saving time and facilitat-
ing the work of the tTainmen. Cues
tions of danger do not come up, being
provided against by the perfection o1
the machinery. BY long familiarity with
the ground and the ways of handling the
trains, the switch tender in an "inter
locking tower" is enabled to safely con
duct score of trains through q iaby
rinth of switches in the time that the
novice would be occupied in making the
| first move for single train. --B. .

Frauds in life Insurance.

diseases Of Man and Horse.

There are various diseases which affect
horses more severely than mankind, and
vice versa. For instance, Inflammation
of the bowels is not disease of a hope
less character in the human being, while
1t Is invariably fatal in the horse. Il q
horse said to be suffering from this dis
ease RECEIVERS you may safely make up
your mind that the diagnosis was wrong
and that the animal had acute indiges-
ton, impaction Of the bowels, or some
trouble not of an inflammatory nature.
In some lung troubles the reverse holds
good. Horses suffer great deal from
bronchitis and pneumonia, but the death
rate from these affections is nothing like
as high as in the human subject. This is
probably because the use of stimulants
enters 60 largely into the treatment OF
these troubles, and that q mans system
does not respond as quickly to alcohol as
tho system Of the water drinking horse.
