Relieving Contracted Feet In Horses.

The belief very generally prevails that
there is nothing better for relieving con.
tracted feet i'm horses than water. The
great trouble is to apply it properly with
the ordinary bandages, A recent invention
has been introduced to take the place of
the old time swab. This CoutrivanCe is in
the shape Of metallic foot lined with
sponge and having leather pads covered
with sponge TO tit inside the shoe, cover
the sole and frog which cannot be
touched by the ordinary swab, and also

that this boot is not only much more
convenient to adjust than the swab, but
that it will hold the moisture much

The familiar sound of the school
bells, after a suspension of many
weeks, was heard again on Monday
morning last. 1t is hoped every boy
and girl in the city not otherwise
educationally provided for, will be in
their proper places in school at, or
as near as practicable at the begin
ming of the term. Thousands now
indifferent to the advantages which
the public schools afford, have no
just idea of the endorsements en-
countered by very many less than
fifty years ago in obtaining an edu-
cation. Since the establishment of
free schools the means for securing a
good education is open to all, rich
and poor. 1t is desirable that school
officers should do their duty by en-
forcing the law in respect to idle
boys wandering about the streets
who should be in school.

Smoking in the House.

Considerable interest was taken
last year in the examination for the
New York Naval school. The
school recently returned from voy-
age around the world. The boys are
chiefly those of well-to-do parents in
New York city. and although the
school is under governmental super
vision, the pupils pay a portion of
their expenses. At the examina
tons 500 boys were examined before
50 were found free from disease
The chief malady was tobacco
heart-a weakened heart caused by
the injurious effects of the poison
nicotine, the essential narcotic prin-
ciple of tobacco.
With this little preface we desire to
call attention to the following Incl
dent that may strike ray of light
into the mystery of some children's
i'll health:
"My little girl" said a pretty
young mother to a New York
Graphic writer the other day, "has

I determined to be very liberal and
advanced, and to do what I could to
make home as attractive to Tom as
his club. Mother would never allow
smoking in her house, except in the
snoking-room, but | made sage re-
Elections upon the tactlessness of
women in managing men and deter
mined that Tom should enjoy me
and his cigar together whenever he
pleased. When my daughter Lillian
first began to be brought out of the
nursery she was as round and rosy a
baby as ever you saw, but we had
not been having her with us much as
we sat together until she began to
grow listless and pale and lose her
appetite. I called in our doctor, but
nothing did her any good; she
seemed to be just dwindling away,
and she continued to dwindle until
her father was called away on bust
ness for month. Then she picked
up and was quite bright again by the
time he came home. That happened
several times, until I said to himself
one day as she was frolicking with
me: Her father never saw her like
this Then it suddenly flashed up
on me that there was something
very queer about this. The upshot
was that we found out beyond per-
adventure that it was living in her
fathers tobacco smoke that was kill
ing the child. I don't feel SO much
wiser than my mother now as 1 used
to, and smoking at our house is
again practiced on ancestral princi-
ples-at the top of the house."

During the Civil War in the Unit

Englishmen who promptly and Wig

circles in favor of the Confederacy.

Thomas Hughes. the author of
"Tom Brown at Rugby"-has spent
much time in the United States and
identified himself with us in many
ways, notably by establishing an En-
glish colony at Rugby, Tenn, and
by showing himself an appreciative
student of our institutions. Now
Mr.. Hughes, although a Liberal,
writes an appeal to the American
people, through the pages of the
September Forum, for them to stand
by the English cause against the
Irish agitators, as he stood by the
Union cause against secession.

Possibly the greatest gain of all
will be found in time to be that Sc
cured through independent nominal
tons. This is the straightest and
deadliest blow which has been struck
at the dictatoral caucus system.
Henceforth in eight States, any body
of men, though mere handful, can
get their candidates names upon the
ballots and can have them distribu-
ted at the polls on equal terms with
those of the regular parties. Every
caucus will thus have hanging over
its deliberations the threat of for
midable and eagerly organized in
dependent movement in case its own
nominations are not satisfactory.
Heretofore the most effective OBJ
stacle to an independent ticket has
been the difficulty and expense of

They have a quaint custom down
at Moberly, Mo-, which makes it un-

auction. They sold four down there
yesterday-that is, they had four on
sale, but only succeeded in disposing
of three. Two of them brought S.

other was not wanted at any figure.
