but if it is above, the bullet is the
only thing to recommend, for there is
no way to keep the leg fixed, and the
horse will not keep still. Thus the
conditions are against union. and
the broken bones keep the animal in
such agony that it is merciful act
to kill it.
"If a horse had as much sense as a
dog we could treat it more success
fully, for dog will hold his broken
leg up and travel on three legs, but a
horse apparently does not favor the
injured limb, but will rest its weight
on a fractured bone as though the
bone We're whole. 1T will not do to
sling a horse completely of its feet,
for the entire weight would come on
the respiratory and digestive organs,
producing such distress that the horse
would die. The sling is used to pre-
vent the horse lying down, and is so
adjusted that the animal can put its
weight on the sling by slightly bend
ing the knees"

Sufferings of II Shy Man.

There is no doubt that many men
appear rude who are only shy; in their
embarrassment they lack words to
express themselves smoothly, and SO
give unintentional otfense. To such
a man as this, parties are a positive
torture. Each moment his sufferings
increase. His feet become feet Of
clay, nothing to stand on, only good
to stumble with. Hands are cold,
trembling, useless. There is disa-
greeable feeling in the back of the
neck, and spinning sensation in the
brain. Cruel are the women who
laugh at a bashful man.. 1t Is the
higher order of human beings whom
bashfulnesS attacks. 1t is the pre-
cursor of many eXcellencies, like the
vigil of the knight, and if it is pa
tiently and bravely borne the knight
is thrice hero. 1t is this recollec-
tion which can alone sustain the BASH
full man under his sufferingS. Very
shy men have often become very at
tractive men of society. The first
refuge. though, of the bashful of
either sex is repellant-they assume
an air of hateur. 1t is natural fence,
a convenient armor, and many a man
and many a woman has fought her
battle behind it through life. No
doubt it has been the armor Of many
so-called cold persons.

James Pleased the Scots.

Eugene Field declares that when
James Whitcomb Riley gave some
readings on shipboard, while return
ing from Europe few weeks ago, he
had two enthusiastic Scots among his
auditors. us it no wonderful, Donal'. :"

man suld be sic a bonnie poet?" "And
is he indeed a tradesman?" asked the
other. "'Decd is he," answered the
first speaker. did We no hear the

poet? Just think of it, mon-just
think O sic guide poet dividing his
time at making hoosiery!"

Protecting ships Bottoms.

The question of providing some eff
fective method Of protecting ships
bottoms has come to be a matter for
serious consideration. The condition
of the bottom of the flagship Charles
ton when taken out Of the water the
other day at Mare Island is described
as astonishing. All sorts of marine
growths, animal and vegetable, COW
cred the entire wetted surface 80
thickly that it was impossible to in
spect the steel plates; and until these
growths shall have been removed,
when 1t is feared more or less zorro
sion will have set in, this investiga-
tion cannot be made; and the prob
lem how to protect the bottoms OF
our new and costly ships, especially
in the Pacific, will be again presented
to our naval authorities. One of the
modes suggested for overcoming this
difficulty is the use of japanese lac
quer. 1t appears that this idea
emanated from a lacquer manufac-
turer Of Toxic, who noted the fact
that lacquered objects that have been
subjected to sea water were found to
be practically uhinjured after con-
siderable period of immersion. Ex-
periments were made on ship plates
at the Yokosuka Navy Yard, and soon
after the bottom of the Fuso-Kan
was lacquered. The result was SO
satisfactory that many other vessels
of the japanese navy have since been
subjected to the same process. Elk
periments are now in progress with
anti-fouling lacquer that promises
very well. The contractors guarantee
a lacquer coat for three years, and,
according to the rates charged in
Japan, the cost IF applying it to a
vessel like the Charleston would be
1900, at Ii cents per square foot.
The lacquer would in all probability
cost about double the price here. 1t
is understood that plates thus pre-
pared are now at the New York Navy
Yard under test. Lieut.. Murdoch,
who has devoted great deal OF
attention to the subject, estimates
that the lacquer process, assuming
that it will last three years, is cheaper
in the long run than painting.

The PalsipllOne.

A novel musical instrument has
just been brought out in France
under the name of the "Palsiphone. )"
It's principle is electromagnetic, and
in it's simplest form it bears great
resemblance TO some types Of electric
bell, and may be used also for signal
ing. The musical notes are produced
by sonorous body, which is set vi
brating by the extremely rapid move
ments of the "interruptor" OF
Ruhmkorff coil; and the result is said
to be highly pleasing.

veterinary dentistry. The tooth in
the case was far back in the upper jaw,
so badly decayed that it had disap-
peared from sight. The operating
table had fitting top, moved by a
screw lever. Straps for binding the
legs, body and neck were firmly at
tached to the table top, which stood
on it's edge, while the blindfolded
horse was strapped securely. The
wheel was turned and the table tilted
from the perpendicular to the hori-
zontal position, carrying the horse
with it. As there was nothing of the
tooth for the forceps to grasp, it was
decided that the only way to extract
the tooth was TO push it out.
After giving the seat of pain an
injection of cocaine DR.. Savers
drilled a hole straight into the
iawbone above the tooth, passing
through a large pus cavity and sever
ing several small arteries, which were
carefully ligatured. The tooth was
so soft and SO rotten that large pieces
were found floating in the pus. When
the loose fragments Of the tooth had
been crushed and drawn ont through
the incision an iron bar was placed
against the roots and the tooth was
driven down and out by a mallet.
During the operation the sufferer

Wonlen'S Hats.

The French hairdressers are circu-
lating petition which they will sub
NIT to the minister Of fine arts when
it has 500, 900 signatures. The pur-
port of the document is that women
be prohibited from appearing in their
hats in the theaters subsidized by the
Government, and that the couture of
the ladies at such entertainments be
according to the fashion devised by
the Hairdressers' Association. The
cause of this strange bequest is that
the trade in false hair has greatly de-
creased for the last few years, and the
present style fashion OF dressing the
hair in Grecian style threatens still
greater in falling off in the trade.

EQUINE SURGERY.
An Injured Horse Is Almost as Well Cared
For as an Injured Man.

AN Injured Horse Is Almost as Well Cared
For as an Injured Man.
When it was announced that Uncle
Bob, the American Derby winner OF
1890, who broke his leg at Garfield
Park, Chicago, would not be shot
there was great rejoicing among the
sporting fraternity. Several of his
admirers paused a moment while
celebrating the glad tidings to pay
passing compliment to veterinary
surgery, which put horses broken
leg in splints instead of putting
bullet into his brain.
There seems to be general i'm
preston, says the Chicago News, that
the only remedy for broken bone in
a horse is plenty of powder and lead,
judiciously and promptly administer
ed. To the great majority of people
the idea that the unfortunate animal
need not give its life as penalty for
a fractured limb was so novel as to
excite wonder, yet splints are placed
daily around broken legs Of horses.
One Of the young doctors on the
staff Of the Chicago Veterinary Col
lege, when the inquiry was put why
is it necessary to shoot horse when
it breaks leg?" promptly answered:
There are plenty Of fool ideas float
ing around regarding horses, but the
most foolish of the lot is the idea that
the broken bones Of a horse will not
unite. The plain fact is that they
will join as readily as the bones of
man, and all that,i necessary to make
d union is to keep the patient quiet.
Now, that Is the sum and substance
Of it all. If you can keep your horse
quiet you can set any bone in his
body, but there is where the trouble
comes in. 1t is impossible to make
horse keep still.
Much depends on the locality Of
the fracture. If it is below the knee
and not COMMUNICATIVE is, if the
bone is not broken in fragments-the
leg can be put in plaster cast, the
horse placed . in sling, and the
chances are that the bone will unite
all right. 1t will take four to six
weeks to make union, and the horse
will probably 60 lame for three or
four months after. A fracture below
the hook can be treated successfully,

RedemDtiOn of Paper Money.

Paper money drops from circula-
ton, but is not lost; whenever note
becomes very much soiled and worn
it is sent to the Treasury for redemp-
tiOn. The women experts employed
to examine the money sent in are
wonderfully skillful. 1t is marvellous
how deftly they will poke over few
charred fragments Of notes and set an
accurate valuation upon them. Not
very long ago a poor woman sent a
wee corner Of a twenty-dOllar bill,
with a pitiful story about her baby's
having burnt it. Hardly more was
left than fragment big enough to
show the figures Of the denomination,
but she will get the money back.
Mice are great destrOyerS Of paper
currency, and some of the most hope
less specimens that come in have
been cheWed up for beds for these
little rodents. Sometimes pill-boX
full of indistinguishablc ashes will
arrive, accompanied by certificate
stating the amount represented. OF
course, such a case is hopeless. 1t is
usually q kitchen-StOve catastrophe.
Kitchen stoves burn up more cash
every year than is lost in any other
way. People co1flde their boards to
them for hiding, and when they are
lighted the greenbacks 60 up in
smoke. 1t has been estimated that
one per cent. of paper money is lost
or destroyed. OF the old fractional
currency it is reckoncd that eight
million dollars worth has been totally
lost.

He says he found in several houses where he
visited remnants of the issues OF one and two
years ago, all thumbed and torn into pieces
from having been so often loaned and widely
read from neighbor to neighbor. Such speci
mems of art and enterprise were evidently not
looked for from the wild Rocky mountains.

There are several hundred
people in Salt Lake who are
paying $40 or $50 per month
rent for eight room houses.
To the "hundredth man" we
have sold a house and he is

of paying rent. He is happy.
We have several such places

A number of the active promoters in
Salt Lake are watching the gas develop
ments with an eye single to business. The
discovery is remarkable one, and if per-
manent supply is tapped will push this
city to the first rank as a manufacturing
centre.

Wicks, Bert Holden, f. 7. Hyde A. j.
Johnson, L. G. Karrick, Wendell Benson,
William Mainland, W. A Nelden, w. H.
Irvine and others visited the fields. They
found the well down 500 feet. The valve
was opened up with terrific explosion
that resembled heavy cannonading; mud
and sand were thrown into the air
a distance of 800 feet. The large
well is so close to the engine that
while gas from the smaller well was used
to produce steam, it was feared that the
large well would be ignited, owing to the
proximity Of the engine house to it, aud
consequently to shut up the well, should it
become ignited, all Of the company's prop
erty would be endangered. The well
which has been used for furnishing fuel
for the engine, has 1000 pounds pressure,
| capacity sufficient to run half dozen
boilers like that in the Knutsford. This
fuel will result in reducing the cost of
| fuel one-half.

| Treasurer Walden and other prominent
citizens will go up to the fields at 3 80 p. N.
