&c Feeding Of Horses.

When it is remembered that the ssom.
ach of horse is really small, in proper.
ton to the size Of his body, it will be
seen that it requires feeding oftcn-even
four times day. Unlike human beings,
horses should drink before eating, and
drink as much as they like. Owing to
q strange internal arrangement in horse,
the water does not remain in the stomach
but passes through into the cacum-a
large intestine. If ahorse should be fed
first one can readily see that the water in
flowing through would carry with it
some of the food, and thus produce
collie. A horse, if "watered" four times
a day, will never take much-not too
much. He is fed, it must be renem-
bered, upon dry food, and that, with tho
quantity of hard work done, would pro-
duce feverishness which O proper
amount of 1">ter will very much allay y
Ledger.

The latest panacea for the numerous

subject is, chronicles the New York
Tribune, that of Father Kneip, the vii
lagc priest of Voerishofen. whose pc.
culiar and startling methods of cure
are attracting even still wider attention
in the Old World than the antidote for
consumption discovered by DR.. Koch
at Berlin. In Munich letter a de-
scription is given of some of the rem
edies prescribed by His Reverence.
They include walking bare-footed in
wet grass, on frozen ground, or in
freshly fallen snow, and their effica-
ciousness has been proved in a large
number of cases, the most notable
being that of Baron Nathaniel Roths.
child, the well.known banker at Wien.
M. "The only point of nature to
arouse scepticism concerning Father
Kneip's methods is" coDfesses the
Tribune, "his recommendation OF
sauerkraut as the most healthy article
of diet, and we fear that, in this mat.
ter at any rate, he has permitted bis
patriotism to get the better OF his
Judgment"

Mrs. HENRY n. STANLEY is so very
tall and Mr.. Stanley is so very short that
when they are out together and are seen
from a distance he looks like a boy out
with his mother The New York ladies
who have seen Mrs. Stanley all agree
that she does not make any efforts to
appear less tall than she is. Her straight.
clinging skirts, long waists, hair pulled
high on top, tall hat on top of that, and
feathers surmounting all add at least
nine inches of unnecessary length to her
figure. Mrs. Stanley has been spoken of
as beauty, but, according to the New
York Sun, it is the keen intelligence
that shines in her great eyes which wins
the greatest admiration.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. PA few
weeks ago woman was brought to the
house OF correction here from Kalama-
zoo on six months sentence for dis
orderly conduct. The second dav of
her confinement she fell dead of heart
disease and her husband was notified.
His name, as given to the authorities,
was Josiah A. Ormand, and he said his
wife had been imprisoned under an as
sumed name. He appeared deeply af-
fected, ana said he was too poor to
bury her. Superintendent Nicholson
promised to have the county to attend
to it, and turned her body over to the
undertaken who takes charge of the
county funerals. The superintendent
met the undertaken and mentioned the
case, and was surprised when the un-
dertaker said: ''Oh, yes. the usband
came for the body and said he had got
a chance to sell it to the medical col
lege for $50, and was going to take
the body away with him. He said he
proposed to make something out of it
il he could, and showed an order from
the poor commission. so OF course the
body was given to him."

ST. LOUIS. Feb. 23.-St. Louis Sat-
urday babe an impressive farewell to
General Sherman. For the first time
IN several days the sun shone out
gloriously, but its rays fell upon the
city draped in mourning. The hearts
OF the people We're saddened, and with
one accord all manner OF men aoan-
doned their earthly pursuits and as
sem oied along the line Of the funeral
procession to do homage TO tho hon
ored dead. 1t was soldiers funeral
the funeral of general-but not
alone OF one whose last journey was
attended with ali the honors due his
rank, but OF an officer beloved by the
army and honored by the people. For
miles the streets were lined with
solid wall of people standing at least a
dozen deep. The city was draped in
mourning. The grief of those in the
procession was genuine, but apparent
to everyone. The dead generals COM
rades OF Ransom post marched In hol-
low squares about the caisson Every
lace wore that solemn look which said
too plainly for words: Il have lost a
friend" Following the caisson was a
handful OF the survivors of the
old Thirteenth infantry, Sherman's
first command in war, q small and
grief-stricken body of men following
their old leader over the road which
they. too. must travel ut no very far
distant day.
During the services at the grave
Father Sherman sprinkled the casket
with holy water thus consecratinr
both the body and the grave.
Thus was laid to rest by the side of
his wife and two sons General William
Iecumseh Sherman. Many affecting
scenes were witnessed as the division
with the caisson moved along the line
OF march. Many of the old Thirteenth
survivors who surrounded the caisson
were in tears from the beginning of the
journey until the gates OF the cemetery
were reached. 1t was one of the
testimonials of the regard in
which the departed warrior was held
by the people OF the land that could be
given.

The Lake Front Abandoned.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2l..-Probably the
most important meeting yet held by
the worlds fair directory concluded
just before midnight. When adjourn
was taken the directors had formally
voted to abandon the lake front as a
part of the site for the exposition. The
fair will be concentrated at jackson
park.
Estimates were submitted showing a
saving OF 81 900, 900 in the construction
and operating expenses by putting all
the fair in one place, and this. togeth-
er with the interminaole delays en-
countered in harmonizing the vast in
terests affected by the use of the lake
front resulted in sending the entire
show to the southern part OF the city.
Nothing will be done with the lake
front save to beautify it with fountains
and statuary as memorials OF the ex-
position.

sented demands for the employment OF

CINCINNATI u, FEB. 2l.-The Ma
tional transportation association. in
session here, adopted the following:
Resolved, That this association re-
commends the adoption by all COM
mercial bodies represented thereby of
the following memorial to the senate
and house of representatives of the
United States:
Whereas, The commercial associa-
ton of the United States demand that
the relation between common carriers
and the public be in all respects so
simplitied as TO avoid misunderstand-
ing, misconceptions or injustice
Whereas, In the direction of secur-
ing clearness of understanding as to
respective rights of carriers and ship
pers the first step seems to lie in the
establishment of uniformity in bills OF
lading and of classitications.
Whereas, The carriers of the coun
try being apparently unable to agree
among themselves concerning the
methods by which such conformity can
be secured.
Resolved, That the senate and house
OF representatives are earnestly re-
quested TO take such measures as NAV in
their Judgment seem proper to compel
the carriers of the United States to fur
nish all shippers a uniform bill of lad
ing in which the common law liability
only OF said carriers shall be expressed,
ana the early establishment OF uni
form classification, the rules and con-
ditions whereof shall be just and rea-
sonaole.
Resolved, That the senate and house
OF representatives are hereby requested
to accord to the shipping interest a
hearing by representation from the
National transportation association.
Resolved, That the cooperation OF
the interstate commerce commission in
the establishment OF those principles is
urgently requested.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Only eight
days remain of the fifty first congress.
and from now until March the pro-
eeedings OF both branches will proba-
bly, be marked by haste. The chief
effort in both houses will be to secure
early and complete action on the ap-
preparation bills, OF which but two the
army and fertilization, have vet be-
come laws. 1t is expected the senate
Will devote its time during the week
mainly to appropriation bills be-
ginning with the sundry civil bill to-
morrow and following with the legis-
latlve and Indian appropriation bill.
The Nicaragua canal bill is unfinished
business in this category. and follow
ing 1t are the pure food bill and the
Conger lard bill, the army reorganiza-
ton bill, the interstate commerce bill
the bankruptcy bill, the land court
Dlll, the Dill to transfer the revenue of
the marine service to the navy, and
the Pacific railroad funding bill.
The house adjourned in bad temper,
and Its mood on reassembllng will have
considerable effect on the course of
legislation during the week. The post
Office appropriation bill is not yet out
OF the committee OF the whole and the
consideration OF the agricultural and
deficiency bills had not begun. The
conference reports on the other appro-
prlatlon bills will also consume part of
the time during the week.
In addition to these measures there
are the copyright, appellate court and
indian depreciation bills which passed
Doth houses, but need to be advanced
through the conference stage of legis-
lation before they can go upon the
statute books.
The report of the Raum investiga-
ton committee and the recommended
ton of impeachment in the case OF
Judge Boarman are matters OF high
privilege on which the action OF the
house Is desired. 1t has thus been seen
That the house has large amount of
work TO accomplish.
The silver bill is not included in the
schedule of business arranged by the
majority.
Inc silver men expect TO make one
more effort to compel vote on the
silver bill although in order to do so
1t will be necessary to make some mo-
ton commonly regarded as not within
the purview OF rules or parliamentary
practice.

They Must Wait.

WASHINGTON Feb. 20.-When the
present session ends there will be
about thirteen hundred bills on the
calendar of the house which have been
favorably reported by committees, but
which fail for want of time for their
consideration in the house. Many of
these bills are OF an insign ficant ma
ture; some of them are important and
all OF them are deserving of considera-
ton, as they have the prestige of ia
voraole report. Some OF them are just
on the verge of being passed and a
days more time would see them
through. Some of the appropriation
bills will undoubtedly be signed within
few minutes OF the time when the
clock points TO noon on March 4, and
it may be that the congressional clock
will be turned back in order to have
all the bills signed as has been the
case heretofore. Many of the meas
ures are such as would certainly pass
