Fatal Disease.

A number of the best farmers OF
Henderson County are much dis
tdrbed by disease which has ap-
peared among thou horses, result
ing in death after few days or
hours. The owners say they can
find no help or cure. Through
the Hon b. A. Enloe the atte1tion
of the secretary Of agriculture at
Washington and of Commission
Hord has been called to the sub.
ject.
The commissioner has written to
Mr., w. L. Logan, of Licking tou,
Tenn, for further inform alton, and
advising that If the disease is
shown TO be contagious and plainly
necessary means be at once taken
to prevent its further spread by
killing the animals affected and
burning the carcasses, and quaran-
timing all others which have been
exposed TO the contagion. Ii in
fictitious in its Gharacter-that is
apparently spreading without i'm
mediate contact with animals al r.
ready diseased measures should
he taken to guard their horses
against contracting the disease by
tr,quenting the same pasturage, oc-
cupying the same or adjoining
yards or stables, drinking of water
from the same ponds, streams or
watering troughs.

Wtszdris of the East.

While travelling through Anam,
In Cochin China, with party
OF German officials, we stopped one
night at an inn, where | made the
acquaintance OF company OF ma
tive magicians, who CHANGED to be
resting there. They numbered four
men and two women, all very small
save one man, who Was quite gigsn-
tic Telling them that was great
ly interested in legerdemain; and
something OF an amateur, | soon
won their favor. In response TO
their urgeLt request | endeavored
to give them an exhibition of my
skill. Though l may safely say,
without any vanity, that at that
time l was the equal OF any magi
clan In this country and had tried
conclusions with them all in pri-,
vate, these wizards of Anam cx-s
posed me in every instance and,
laughed at me heartily.
One Of these was begun by the
"ho 'h'O" great coll Oi
r'bbon far up toward the sky. As
1t uncoiled IN mid air q small hawk
seemed to be libsrate from it, 10
seize the ribbons end in it's beak
and to fly with it in a cloud, which
apparently proceeded from the rib
bon itself and WAS caused, | pre-
sumo, by something burning along
its surface. From this cloud there
uow slid to the ground a sna Ike, a
frog and smiling native baby
which one Of the women caught in
her arms and held out to the aston.
ished crowd. All The mapicisns
save tho giant now left the place.
The giant then sat upon the
ground and completely concealed
himself beneath large umbrella,
exacting from me a promise to re-
move it at the expiration of five
minutes by my watch. when took
up the parachute tbs giant had
disappeared, though the earth
where he had sat was perfectly
solid. Returning to the inn, we
found our giant serenely smoking
On the porch, and when | handed
him his umbrella he opened it
with a quick jerk ADD disclosed nv
watch and chain, which L had not
missed, hanging to one of its
sides.

The EnnLish SpalrOiUs.

The farmers of Davidson county
Tennessee, are becoming aroused
on the subject of the English spar
row. These pests have already
Overrun the city, and are now
spreading over the country. Farm
ers who have closely watched their
habits, and who have par ,cularly
observed their manner of feeding,
are authority for the statement that
they do no, destroy insects. They
remain about tho dwellings and
barn except at such times when
wheat and other grain is being
sown, when they spend the greater
part of the day devouring the un-
covered seeds. Blackbirds earn
whatever grain they destroy by tie
great number OF insects eaten by
them and hence the farmer is be-
ginning to look upon these birds s.s
among their best friends. But these
and other birds are easily driven
off by tho pugnaciOus English SPAR
row, and the farmers have finally
determined that the only way to
protect themselves is to wage active
warfare on the little pests. Some
have been considering plans where
by they may be thinned out by
wholesale poisoning, but no very
satisfactory scheme has yet been
hit upon.
TO destoy them by shooting them
would require the constant service
of several men on each farm. The
Waterman on the campus of Van
derbuilt University has been Eff
gagged in shooting them for more
than a year, and while ne rarely
misses his aim he states that he
has only been successful in thin
ming them out, not in annihilsting
them. Nashville Banner.
