The ABUSE OF HORSES.
The Noblest of the Brute Creation an
Yet Often the Worst Abused Nv Man,

The Noblest of the Brute Creation and
Yet Often the Worst Abused by Man.
One. of the strange things we meet
with In this world is the reckless abuse
ofthe horse. Usually man will be
careful with his own property, especi-
ally If it is of delicate structure. But
the horse is often stabbed and fed
wholly in the direction of his injury.
Stables are badly ventilated; many of
them are not kept clean. The food in
thousands OF cases Is wholly corn and
hay perhaps bad hay. But corn is the
poorest food in the world for the horse,
which needs strength-good bone and
musician corn does not contain the
elements to make them. Besides that,
corn is very heating and keeps the
blood too hot. But in the matter OF
work there is frequently very little
judgment used in the use Of the horse.
There is something to do, just so much
work, perhaps, which we desire to per-
form in so many hours; and although il
may be at the very beginning of the
spring work when the horse is unused
to great exertion, he is pushed through
the work we have allotted TO him, re,
CARELESS of its effect upon the animal.
We have load 10 draw The horse is
expected to draw 1t II ne can. The
thought of straining the animal ne vel
occurs to some people.
The results of such use and MANI ge
ment are seen upon every side. Horses
become sick from bad stahling and bad
feeding. They become ringboned, fol
ringbone, as one writer says, is oitei
caused by violent efforts the aniina
makes in obedience to the voice OF tn,

partment is separated by a partition
only six inches high. BY this means,
the feed-pen is kept duly clean. The
two doors opening into the yards in the
rear are hung at the bottom, and can be
let down SO that the tops rest in the

THE LAKE OF DEATH.
A Mysterious Sheet of Water Which
Living Thing Can Survive.

Living Thing Can Survive.
''Devil's Lake." in Calhoun County,
Ala, seventy miles east of Birmingham,
is one of the most remarkable natural
curiosities to be found in America.
The lake is oval in shape and covers
about four acres Of ground. No vege-
tation of any kind grows on its banks
and nothing lives in its waters. Even
snakes and terrapins shun the waters OF
DEVILS Lake, and fish placed in it die
In few hours. The water is clear lime
stone, with a peculiar taste, which
makes it unpalatable to man or beast.
Horses and COWS will not drink it, no
matter how thirsty they may be.
Deep down below the surface of the
lake may be seen what appears to be the
charred and blackened trunks of large
trees. They stand upright In the water,
but have neither root nor branch and
never rise to tho surface nor sink to the
bottom. The lako has no outlet and
the volume of water In 1t Is the same
all the time.
A strange fatality attaches to this
lake. Once it was the favorite resort of
the boys of tho neighborhood for bath
ing and swimming, but now they never
go near it. Fifteen boys have been
drowned in its waters In twice as many
years, A few OF The bodies we're recov-
cred, but those who were drowned any
distance from the banks sunk to the
bottom and were never brought to the
surface.
The depth of the lake has never heer
ascertained, Soundings to depth o.
seven hundred feet found no bottom
and the people in the vicinity say the
lake has none. The Indian legend o
the origin of the lake is that before tn,
white man came to this country tive
tribes became involved IN war, AM
after o number OF bloody battles til,
smaller tribe was almost exterminated
Then the old men and chiefs OF th,
weak tribe sued for peace and arrange,
for a council, While the pipe was bein,
passed around signal was given an,
the chiefs of the strong tribe suddenl
sprang up with drawn tomahawks AM
murdered every one of the chiefs of tn
smaller tribe.
Then the war was renewed and cal
ried on until the weak tribe was extel
minated. A few moons after tho mas
sacre of the chiefs fire broke ont i

eight moons and the ground sunk dow
out of sight; the fire disappeared, and
