The accommodation of Portland, Or,
and Multnomah county shows a gain of
IA, 200 over the June enumeration
about "A per cent. The claim is made

The Silver State says the strange and
fatal disease that is prevalent at Battle
Mountain, New, extends west on the
Humboldt to the Stone House. Charley
Nelson, who lives on the river, has lost
all of his cows. Some of the cows were
kept up, but they succumbed to the dis
ease the same as those running on the
river bottom. They do not appear to
suffer, and are rarely ailing over a few
hours, the disease generally proving
fatal in that time.
Over 250 men are busily employed at
present about the Stanford Jr. Univer-
sity buildings at Palo Alto, says the
San Mateo Times. Every effort is now
being made to get the fine four-story
dormitory under roofs before the rains
begin. The foundations of the second
dormitory buildings have been laid, but
work on the upper walls will have to
wait at present. The six school build
ings grouped around the main Quad
rangle are all done, except interior fin
ishings.

When an excess of hoof accumulates
On either side of the foot, the balance
Ia unsettled, a strain comes on the
tart affected and the grain of the hoof
is subjected to such pressure at certain
points that split-hoof frequently is the
result, if the neglect be persisted in.
The remedy is to trim the hoof closely to
natural lines and not to permit it to grow
to excess either at the toe or the heel.
Few reasons exist for lameness when
the foot is so treated. The malforma-
ton that arises from an excess of hoof
at the heel, causing an inward or con-
cave curve OF the hoof in front, is fire..
quently found in low-bred horses. The
still greater deformity which arises
from an excess of hoof in front, causing
a displacement of the centre of gravity
towards the heel sometimes begins soon
after colt is foaled, and can be avoid
ed by expanding the heel, and reducing
the surplus of hoof
1t is not to the man who is merely
fond of good horse that the best re-
suits come, but to him who makes the
horse scientific study. There is the
widest possible difference among owners

They are not permitted to worry there;

They care not at all for adjoining, there;
All sounds are huShed
And man who rushed

They do not take any papers there;
No politicians cut capers there;
They have no views
And they tell no news,
And they burn no midnight tapers there
No lovers are ever permitted there;
Reformers are not admitted, there;
They argue not
In that peaceful spot
And their clothes all come ready fitted, there.
Electricity has not been heard Of there,
And steam has been spoken no word of, there:
They stay where they are;
And a coach or car
They have not so much as third OF, there;
Oh, this world is a truly crazy land;

SICK-ROOM DUTIES.
Some Necessary TIL ngs to Know Abou

Some Necessary Things to Know About
the Care of Patients.
Nothing is gained, and much time
that is very valuable is wasted, BY
allowing ourselves to become nervous
and unable to be of the slightest use in
the sick-rOom. Although we may con.
slider a person too i'll to be aware OF
what is taking place about thor shey-
are oftentimes fully cognizant Of the
merest trifies, and always more or less
susceptible to any and all things going
on in the sick-room. For that reason
conversation about the condition of the
patient carried on in the room in whis-
pers or in any mysterious manner
should be avoided and an air of quiet
cheerfulness always maintained.
Nothing is so annoying as to be con-
tinually asked if we do not wish the pill.
lows changed, the bed-clothes straight
ened, the blinds closed or opened, some
nourishment brought, or any shall de-
tails attended to. Better by far to see
for ones self, and do quietly, without
disturbing the patient Particularly il
they are disposed to sleep, do not at
once get newspaper of the kind that
has the greatest possible amount of rat
tie in it and seat thyself in a rocking
chair regardless of the possible effect it
may have upon the nervous condition
of thy friend.
When it is time for nourishment or
medicine, be prompt to give it, but
always without talking it over too
much, and if it is the bitter cup that is
to be prescribed, have something agree
able to follow and CHEEKY word. II it
is the food or broth, have it prepared
outside the sick-room and brought quiz
city, and, above all, in an attractive
form, to the patient, bearing in mind
that little daintily presented will be
much more acceptable and partaken OF
with more benefit than larger guam
tity. An invalid is oftentimes better
nOurished by partaking of little sus'
tenance at short intervals, and the MAD
ner in which one is cared for has much
to do with his or her improvement

CRIME AND CRIMINALS,

Five men are said to have been con-
cerned in the recent wreck on the New
York Central, and all but one are under
arrest.
A race feud has begun in Madison
county, Tenn, instituted by negroes who
cut the wire fences of planter and fired
forty or fifty shots into the planters res
idence.
Rev. DR.. David Spurgeon Perry of
Brooklyn, who is wanted in that city
for the larceny of a horse and phaeton,
has been arrested at Philadelphia. The
minister tried to sell them to Detective
Bond.
Young Clay, of Paris, KY, who abb
sounded about month ago, after hav-
ing forged paper on his father and
grandfather to the amount of $75, 900,
was brought back to Paris by his father
in-law, Captain Thomas.
Charles Morrell, alias Salense, thirty
six years of age, and Charles Harris,
alias Sereghiro, aged thirty-eight, both
claiming to be from San Francisco, were
arrested in New York for a swindle.
They are known as gold-makers."

is Robert Bonner. It has been valua-
BILE lesson to me to be present when Mr..
Bonners horses were shod, and l am
familiar with many Of their peculiari-
ties. Maud S. has very pure gait and
wears light shoe. Her forward shoes
weight from ten to twelve ounces and
the hind shoes from six to eight ounces.
She could wear six-ounce shoe better
than any other if it would resist her
weigh and stay together. Before he
bought Maud S. Mr.. Bonner knew that
one of her hind feet had given her
trouble; but he was not concerned about
1t, although those who had been with
her for years said it could not he re-
moved. 1t was supposed that no doctor
could be found to remove it The
trouble in the foot looked serious vet
1t was almost instantly removed by Mr..
Bonner himself when the mare came
into his stable.
Twenty-three years ago l was in Mon
treal when / heard that Dexter had gone
lame. l left that city and came to New
York to cure him if posi- ole, but before l
arrived Mr.. Bonner had cured the great
horse himself. After that we frequently
consulte about him, as we'll as about his
other horses. Among them now recall
Pocahontas, Bruno, one of the flightiest
of the stable, Flatbush Maid, Peerless
Lady Palmer, Startle, Maud Mason
Maybird, Wellesley Boy, Taylor, Graf
ton, Herrick, Forrest, Rarus and the
Queen herself, besides others who be-
came famous.
Lately, l accompanied Mr.. Bonner
when he went to Indiana to see Sunol,
the wonderful California three-vear-old.
l think she is the greatest animal liy-
ing to-day, without exception. Her
equal has probably never been born.
The formation is faultless-fner than
any thing l ever saw. 1t must be so.
since she has trOtted a mile in 2:1OL as
a three-year-old. Formed as she is. it
would be discredit to her not to 90
fast; for she more closely resembles a
hound than any horse l ever saw. Her
foot is perfection itself. We have MANY
trotters that never show any ability in
the field, to the great disappointment
of their owners, and too often the reason
is that their feet are misunderstood.
There are some people who claim that
the California youngsters are trained
too soon; but L see no reason why
horse should not, under certain condi. |
tions, reach his fullest speed at three or
four years, instead of five or six. A
colt will run just as fast as he ever will |
when matured; we find this in the case

REGARDING CELLARS.
Extract from a Lecture by DIR. kellogg
of Battle Creek Sanitarium.

Extract from a Lecture by DIR. Kellogg,
of Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Build your house with well-venti-
lated basement which may be used if
desired for dry storage, but do not put a
fruit or vegetable cellar beneath living
rooms unless you are willing to endan-
ger the health of your family. Since
the temperature of the earth below the
frost line is about 500 to 600 it is easier
to make cellar wholly or partly be-
meath ground, although the same object
can be secured by building it with very
thick walls above ground. Vegetables
and fruit breathe in manner similar
to animals, and so exhaust as we'll as
contaminate, the surrounding air. til
popularity supposed that plants purify
the air in which they are growing, and
30 they do-to certain extent-by u.s.
ing up some of the carbonic acid gas.
but they also consume oxygen and are
In this way a drain upon the life
giving elements of the air. But
after fruit or vegetable has
reached maturity, it ceases to con-
sumo carbonic acid gas while still
consuming oxygen. 1t throws off a GER
tain amount of carbonic acid gas as be-
fore, however, and in tightly-closed
cellars or store-rooms the amount of this
gas has been known to be so great as to
produce suffocation. There is also the
additional danger which comes from de-
cay of animal or vegetable matter, and
consequent contamination of the air
from this source. The germs of decay
are so plentiful and work with such
rapidity that all ordinary precautions
as to cleanliness will not render safe a
cellar underne ath a house.

A Lunar Rainbow.

one morning that is rarely witnessed. 1t
was a lunar rainbow, as perfect and as
brilliant as the most perfect and
brilliant rainbow that ever adorned an
eastern sky when the sun bursts forth
after summer evening shower. The
bow first formed a half circle over the
moon and underwent gradual change
until a perfect cross and crescent were
formed. The play of color was be I'll
fully grand, and the whole western sky
was so brilliantly Illuminated that the
electric street lights paled. Lunar rain
bows are supposed to be the heavenly
forerHnRers of war, and when they take
the form of cross and crescent the '. ar
