More Humane Treatment Of Horses.

Machinery is doing a vast
amount of labor for man, but
horses are not dispensed with, on
the contrary their number is in
creasing in this country every
yem Not only so, but their quail
ityis improving, both for the car
riage and heavy work. No other
creature is so valuable a servant to
mane He is often ill-treated, not
SO much from intention as from
igporance of what is right. Don't

Bead is down near to the surface
Of the earth, the swallowing mus
cles are in a position to do their
work; but when the head is raised
four or FIVE feet high the muscles
are restricted in their action.
What is supposed to be gained by
the high hangers in the develop
ment of high neck and shoulders
Is more than lost in the depressed
back or saddle back" Of the
horse in consequence of the unnat-
ura elevation of the head. The
bottom of the feed-box and man
ger should not be above the
horses's knees, or, what is better,
never more than one foot from the
floor. The ranger should be two
feet deep, measuring from the
top, and about two feet four IN
ches wide at the top. Make the
feed box at the bottom of the man
ger. Some claim that the floor of
the stall should be level instead of
descending from the manager to-
ward the rear; and use more and
better absorbents. In so doing
you not only save the most valua-
bic part of the fertilizing Of the
horse, but you remove the strain
Of standing with his hind feet
lower than the forward ones.
When at rest IN the pasture the
horse chooses to stand with his
fprward feet lower than his hind
ieet; this he does to throw the CEN
Ife Of gravity nearer the fore legs
and shoulders, by which the pro-
leeting neck is balanced by the
fear portion Of the body. The
horse wants clean food and drink.

81 that a horse requires for his

MORE LIGHT WANTED.
An Electric Plant Suggested for the
Pustoffice.

An Electric Plant Suggested for the
Pustoffice.
Postmaster Backus has been trying TO
solve the problem of lighting the dungeon
called, by courtesy, the San Francisco Post
office. AS it is now, the whole office has to
be Illuminated by full blaze of gas in the
very middle of the most sunshiny day, and
the gas bills for the Postoffice people, which
are monthly paid by Collector of Customs
Phelps. amount to about S625, or about
$500 per var.
Collector and Custodian Phelps has long
worried over these enormous gas bills; but
there had seemed to be no help for it. Not
only is the present system of lighting ex-
pensive, but it is injurious to the health of
the clerks. The great number OF burning
jets in the elise quarters use up most of
the oxygen III the air that the clerks are
obliged TO breathe and make what is left
so hot and vitiated that it is unfit to be
inhaled, accounting also for much Of the
sickness among the postal clerks.
Postmaster Backus' scheme is to attach
an electric dynamo to the engine in the Ap-
praiserS Building across the alley, which IS
used now for the elevators. The dynamo
would be supplemented by storage batter
les, and it is belived that while the engine
is running during the day 1t can furnish
power to generate and store all the cleo
tricity needed for the pOstoffice lights dur
ing the twenty-four hours.
The cost of putting in the plant will be
about $500, but after it is in the new sys-
TEN will save over $500 every month, be-
sides leaving good air for the clerks to
breathe. One hundred and fifty lights will
be used in the daytime and fifty at night,
for, singularly enough. three times as much
light is ne eded in the daytime as during
the night. An electrician has been con-
suited, and will submit a report as to the
details of the scheme this morning.

HELEN HUNT JACKSON.
Her Grave on the summit OF Cheyenne
Mountain.

Her Grave on the Summit OF Cheyenne
Mountain
lady who recently visited the resting
place of the mortal remains Of that bright
writer, Helen Hunt Jackson, writes as fol
lows to the Woman's Tribune:
Vending our way through that grand
assure in the rocks called Cheyenne Can
yon, and ascending the nine flights OF stairs
to the top of the Seven Falls, guide
board directed our path, and after some
steep climbing we stood beside the grave of
that noble woman.
1t was here that she used to come to
think and to write; here she spent many OF
her Sabbaths.
"This spot is my church." she said to a
friend, land it is here that wish to be
laid" Aud SO on the summit of Cheyenne
Mountain, beneath summer sun and winter
SHOWS, she lies-alone.
No monument marks the spot, but the
grave is heaped high with small stones
which visitors have laid upon it. For each
stone taken-f0r S0uveDirs-0ne or more is
replaced by the person who takes it. Hun
dredS of them have their names or some ad-
miring sentiment of the giver written upon
them.
| have heard Out cannot vouch for the
truth of i) that when she requested to be
buried there she also made the request that
those who visited her grave should lay
stone upon it. 1t was an odd within, / think,
but one that has been faithfully humOred.
1t is a lovely spot, and the surrounding
scenery is solemnly grand, and still that
isolated grave, in its loneliness, seemed
very sad to me, and | turned with a sigh
and slowly and thoughtfullY retraced my
steps 10y the same path which she so often
had trOQ.

Women to Rejoice Over the Admission
of Wyoming State.
Editor JToman's Column, Morning Call:
The woman suffragists of this city are
greatly elated over the admission Of Wvom-
ing into the Union with equal political
rights for all its citizens, irrespective of
sex. meeting was held in the parlors of
Laura de Force Gordon at the Lick House
on Monday last, at which large delegation
OF ladies representing various unions and
clubs of this city were present. Mrs. A. a.
Sargent presided and it was unanimously
declared that the admission of Wyoming
into the Union as a State, with woman
suffrage, was an event OF great lmportance
10 the women OF the United States and
should be celebrated with rejoicing and
thanksgiving. 1t was therefore decided
that the ladies of San Francisco commem-
crate the event with appropriate services
on the evening of July 4th at Metropoli-
tan Temple. \ Committee on Programme
was appointed and preliminaries arranged.
Prominent speakers have been invited to
participate, and excellent musical and liter
airy talent engaged. Owing to the brief
time in which the arrangements have to be
made the ladies cannot fully do justice to
the occasion which is of such great import
ance to One-half the citizens of the country.
The ladies feel that this is the first time in
the history of the nation that they have had
cause for festiYity and rejoicing, as they
belonged to the diSfranchised class COM
posed of idiots, paupers, criminals, aliens
and-wUmen. 1t has therefore been no part
of their political liberties that have pre-
viously been celebrated, for taxation with
out representation is tyranny" to-day as it
was in the DAYS of King George. Now,
however, women can unite with their
brothers in celebrating the GLORIOUS
Fourth, for there is one little SpOt-one
small portion of Uncle Sans broad domain
where they are recognized as the political
equals Of men. Let us Celebrate! j. s.

A BUSINESS WOMAN.
One Who Saw Advantages and Profited
by Them.

One Who Saw Advantages and Profited
by Them.
a correspondent writing from Washing
ton, Pa, to the New York World gives the
following interesting account of Mrs. VI.
Y. Taylor, very successful business
woman:
She was the daughter of a Methodist min
lister, richer in piety than in this worlds
goods. Becoming widow with a child to
support, she learned bookkeeping and con-
nected herself as book-keeper With an oil
firm in this city. In this capacity shs OBJ
tanned an insight into the oil business and
became well posted concerning wells and
the supplies necessary to operate them. 1t
was viii in the employ of this firm that
Mrs. Taylor was offered sixth interest in
an oil well, in consideration of which she
was To furnish the casing used in drilling it,
an offer which she promptly accepted, pro-
curing the casing and becoming one of the
company. On the failure II the company TO
drill the well within the limited time Mrs.
Taylor was left with the casing on her
hands, as it seemed at that time dead loss.
As many wells were being drilled, how
ever, she was able to sell the casing at
profit She then ordered second and third
supply, which, on account of its scarcity,
she easily disposed of at a profit. Then,
with that foresight essential to successful
business, Mrs. Taylor saw that on account
Oh the luCEedSluB HulnDtI VI NeiiS tDdI were
being drilled, the already insufficient
supply of casing would be even more in
adequate to the demand. Then, with the
nerve of a veteran SPECTATOR, accustomed
to corner the market in stocks, she invested
the capital realized by her other sales in
well-casing, which resulted in placing her
upon Il firm financial basis, and through
which she obtained an extensive business.
The scarcity in oi-well casing is still
fresh in the minds of the oil men. 1t was
at this time when it could not be obtained
at any price that Mrs. Taylor placed upon
the market her great stock and her fortune
was made.
This was Mrs. Taylor's first investment,
but by no means her last She next APP
peared as an old Spectator. Nor has she
confined her investments to the oil field
alone. The opening up of the new oil field
near this city was attended by boom in
real estate which presented golden oppor-
tunites to the specuator. Mrs. Taylor
promptly took advantage Of this. Much
valuable property passed through her
hands.
Mrs. Taylor has given proof of her thor
ough acquaintance with her business, hav-
ing invented kind of iron tubing which
oil men say is great Improvement on that
now generally used.

ALL ENDED HAPPILY,
a Deserted wife Finds Wealth and Two
Daughters.

A Deserted wife Fluids Wealth and Two
Daughters.
An interesting story was developed when
the estate Of Michael Haley was in process
Of administration in the Probate Court.
Haley kept saloon on Fourth street, and
was killed by train at the corner OF Fourth
aud Townsend streets in July, 1889. The
apparent heirs were two daughters by his
first wife and minor child by the second.
The estate was appraised at $1,000. aud
when 1t was about to be distributed the
first wife, who resides at Manchester, n. H.,
presented her claim.
Many years ago the decedent deserted
her in Pennsylvania, taking his two daugh-
tiers with him. Being very young, they be-
lieyed his story that their mother had been
killed in a railway accident, and readily
accepted the new mother that he intro
duced to them on their journey.
The second wife is dead, and the first
having established her right to a half share
of the property, Judge COffey has ordered
il to be given to her. A guardian was APP
pointed by the court for the Legitimate

should be any delay He produced figures
showing that after payment of all contracts
now out there would remain surplus of
S53,000 of the appropriation for the fiscal
year ending on June 80, 1891
Healy & Co. we're granted ninety days
extension of time on their contract to erect
the stone steps around the hall triangle,
and to place stone steps leading to the en-
frances. The extension was granted OIL
the statement of the contractor that his
work had been delayed by strikes, and that
portion of certain stone quarry proved
to be of an inferior quality.
Ninety days extension of time was also
granted to Lawton 81 Britt, who hold the
contract for placing bronze lamps on the
stone fence inclOSIng the grounds. This
action was taken because the contractors
cannot proceed until the former work is
completed.
Several local sculptors appeared before
the commission with sketches OF four
pieces of statuary for the Hall of Records,
but the board concluded to give more time
to competitors.

THE LATE LADY vEKNEY.
a Sister of Florence Nightingale Whose
Loss Ia n Sad Blow to Many.

a Sister of Florence Nightingale Whose
Loss Ia Sad Blow to Many.
Florence Nightingale, whose seventeen
birthday was celebrated recently with the
blessings of the civilized world, is almost
heart-broken over the death of her younger
sister, Lady Verney, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean. Lady Verney was even better
known among working women, shop-sirls
and hospitals for incurahles aud crpples
than her famous sister. She had beauti-
full house in Clayton, where Sir Harry
Verney INDUCED her every taste and
wish. During the season it was the
resort of fashion and beauty, and In the
summer hundreds of poor working women,
ShOp-grs and housemaids came, self-ln-
yittd, with sickness or distress as an
apology, to spend their vacation. At times
the demands of these heart->ick and bodily
worn women tried the resources OF her
house; but in fine weather pOrticos were
canopied and the lawn tented for the ac-
cOnlmodatiOn of the strongest visitors. No
matter now great the imposition OF charity,
Lady Verney never permitted herself to be
annoyed. In addition to the help she w,s
able to give herself, she wrote innumeraole
letters of introduction and notes To lnilu-
entail people, who, ON her recommendation,
provided temporary if not permanent occu-
patton. She is sincerely mourned.
