StoneWall Jacks0n's Nerve.

Since the unwilling Of Stonewall Jack

crate General has come to light: On one
rainy day, while advancing on Bull Run,
he started out to reconnoiter in person,
and got caught On the wrong side of a
bridge guarded by a field piece and
some Federal artilleryman. When he
discovered this Jackson did not hesitate
a moment. Galloping up behind the
men he shouted out to the officer in COM
mand: "Who directed you to put that
gun on the road2 Take it away and
mount it in the woods on the hill yonder.
never saw such piece of folly. Here
in the open ground your men will be shot
down from the brush on the other side. !"
On he went as though in terrible pas
sion, berating the officer, who colored,
saluted, apologized and hastily gave the
order for removing the gun. Jackson.
with his etaff at his heels, galloped off
to the left, as though to pass down the
stream, made sudden turn, thundered
across the bridge and escaped. The be-
fuddled officer in command Of the gun
had not gone far when he suspected
something wrong, but he did not dis
cover who the stranger was until next
day.-Chicago Post.

city has nc free hospital for horses, ,prob.
ably for the reason that 1t would be
abused; but horses whose owners are too
poor to pay for treatment are attended to
at DR.. Johnstou's place, and also on two
DAYS of the week at the hospital con-
nected with the American Veterinary Col
lege in West Fifty-fourth street. At the
latter establishment over three thousand
horses were treated last year, with NOR
tality of less than one per cent. Opera
tions are performed before large class
of students, and the college, by teaching
the proper treatment Of the horse, is do
ing noble work in behalf of mans best
friend.
The Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals has project on foot
for the establishment of home for aban-
doned animals of all kinds. Horses that
are turned into the streets to die would
be cared for, or, if they were beyond
cure, they would be put out of their
misery in the most merciful ma nner.
Stray cats and dogs would also be shel.
tered, and, if necessary, the Cog pound
could also be incorporated with the home
and its Objectionable features done away
with. The society proposes to bull d the
home from private subscriptions emit rely,
and no appropriation will be asked from
the city.-Ne~ York Recorder.

EQUINE PATIENTS.
AMRULANCE AND HOSPITAL FOR
SICK HORSES IN NEW YORK
Animals With Broken Legs or Other
Ailments Picked Up and Cared
For by MIR. Bergh's Society,"
Dental Treatment.

Time was when horse prostrated on
the street from sunstroke or exhaustion
was either shot at once, or if the owner
had hope of saving the animal it was
left to suffer in agony OF the pavement.
Now an ambulance is called for sicS
or injured horse in about the same way
that one would be summoned for a hu-
man being. The first policeman to ar
rive on the scene goes to the nearest tele-
phone and calls up the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He
calls for horse ambulance in hurry.
An electric button is pressed, the gong
sounds in the ambulance house on East
Twcnty-second street. horses dash out of
their stalls and take their places beneath
the suspended harness, and in few Sec
onds the big red ambulance is rafting
down the street to the relief of the dis
abled animal.
If the horse is Frustrated by the heat
and cannot walk to the stable, he is
placed in the ambulance and carried
there in the most approved fashion.
The method of inducing the horse to
enter his coach is interesting. The am
bulance is built very low, and the rear
end is hinged 30 that when open it
forms q platform, over which the horse
walks into the ambulance. If the animal
is able to walk there is little difficulty IN

ruE EARTH STAR IN WET WEATHER.

TIE EARTH STAR IN WET WEATHER.
The essential difference between the
earth stars and the true puff balls is in
regard to the rind of the ripe fruit. In
the puff !balls this is comparatively
thin, and consists of an outer and an
inner layer, which remain permanently
united. The rind of the earth stars COM
prises likewise. an outer and an inner
division, but the former, which is COM
paratively thick-splits into segments,
and these ultimately separate from the
delicate inner rind, exposing what looks
like little puff ball.
During period of dryness the earth
star is contracted into ball Gig. y
and is blown about over the sand. AS
soon as the rains bring enough moisture
for the gelmlnation of its spores, the
plant becomes anchored by the expansion
of its protecting arms. At the same
time this exposes the thin-walled spore
case and uncovers the mouth, so that
every gust of wind will carry. away
hundreds of its tiny offspring. Some
of these are now sure to find q resting
place where there is food and moisture
enough for them to thrive and grow into
O mass of hyph8.

THE EARTH STAR IN DRY WEATHER.


What we see above ground, however,
is not the whole of the plant, but only
the fruit, which is developed from a
mass of delicate subteranean 6bers con-
stituting the plants vegetative apparatus.
By carefully scraping away the earth at
the base of young Coaster these fine
white threads may be discovered ramify-
in all directions. We must assume that
decaying pieces of roots from neighbor-
ing grass plants and shrubs, along with
the remains of dead leaves and animal
debris which become buried in the sand,
supply all the food necessary.
The first sign of the fruit is an egg
shaped nodule of compact hyphe. In
comparatively short time this enlarges to
the size of robins egg, and then is de-
veloped thick outer wall inclosing
rather soft contents. In the process OF
ripening the pulpy interior becomes
transformed into an immense number OF
exceedingly minute spores, each of which
may give rise to a new plant like the
parent.

spects to the grip. The horse hospitals
were overcrowded with patients for the
time and veterinary surgeons were busy.
Occasionally cases of horses affected with
contagious diseases are discovered. They
are dispatched at once. On Tuesday q
case of glanders was found, and the
horse, whicE belonged to an expressman.
was killed within two hours of the time
it was reported.
Hot weather is the most trying for
horses, and the number of cases of SUM-
strokes, prostrations and exhaustion keeps
the ambulance busy. The animals are
picked up and taken either to their own
stables or to the establishment Of the
City Veterinarian in West Twenty-fifth
street. At the latter place horses picked
up by the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals are treated. 1t is
under the direction of DR.. 8. z. John
son, who is also veterinarian to the Board
of Health. There are accommodations
for about thirty horses. Box stalls are
provided for some of the patients, and
the other stalls are furnished with sings,
which are used to lift horse off his feet
when an operation is to be performed,
or to tighten the weight on his hoofs If
they are affected. Several cases of sur
gical instruments for use on horses line
the walls of one of the rooms OF the
establishment. Forceps of enormous size
for extracting teeth, oddly shaped tools
for operations on the hoofs and appli-
ances for distending the jaws and other
wise annoying the brute for his ultimate
good are to be seen.
When horse is first placed in sling
there is apt to be trouble, unless the pre-
caution is taken to hobble him. This is
accomplished by clasping leather straps
around his feet and claiming them to.
gether. The same appliance is employed
to throw a horse, for there is no such
thing as coaxing an equine to lie down.
The horse at all times objects to surgical
and medical treatment. When he is given
pill or q dose of liquid medicine his
head is held high in air until he swal-
lows in spite of himself. He is humane
ly treated, however, and after he has
been in the hospital few days he sub
mits more readily to treatment.
There are dozen private horse hospi-
tails in town, where horses are boarded
and doctored for consideration. The
