Saturday afternoon, Charley Bud
worth an employee of this office, while
doing a little acrobatic work on
composing stone, burst a small
blood vessel in his lungs He first
discovered that he was hurt when he
resumed his seat at the case. For a
time he was hardly able to stand and
could not articulate. He was taken
up to Or. Godfrey's office and the
nature and extent of his injury was
ascertained, which was found to be
not altogether serious, but necessita-
ting that he should keep as quiet as
possible. He was taken home and is
at present recovering rapidly. IN Ill
probability he viii be able to 80 to
work the first Of next week.

MEMS. FOR FISH EATERS.

The red-blooded fish, such, for in
stance, as salmon, herring and mack
erel, are highly nutritious, but not
easily digested, partly because of the
anocnt of fat distributed through the
fish.
White fish, such as cod, haddock,
turbot, halibut and founder, contain
comparatively little fat, and that
mostly in the liver. They are easy of
digestion and possess a delicate flavor.
When in season and just from their
native element they are delicious and
make excellent food for the sick, on
account of the ease of digestion.
Cod is in season all the year; had
dock, all the year; cusk, winter; hall
but, all the year; founders, all the
year; salmon, May to September; shad,
spring; bluefsh, June to October;
whitefsh, winter; swordfsh, July to
September; smelts, September to
March; perch, spring and summer;
mackerel, April to October, oysters,
September to May; clam all the year

The General Purpose Horse.

A writer in the American ArricuI-
turlst recently gave his idea of the
general purpose horse. He said he
should be- sound. sensible. free from
vice. medium size. about fourteen to
fifteen hands high. weighing about
!. 900 pounds, not too large for riding
nor not too small for work; should
carry his head we'll up to give him
style should have sloping shoulders
should carry his feet near together to
make him sure footed. should ride
we'll and drive we'll, should have an
easy mouth. should work we'll to plow
or wagon. should drive with single
check or double reins, and above all
things should not be balky. He
stated further that in breeding gen
eral purpose horses it is very essen
tial that the sire should be of the
best disposit on. should ride
and drive and work we'll
anywhere and the nearer
thoroughbred the better. The mare
should be medium size stylish, and
have endurance. The general pur-
pose horse stands nard work. in the
long hot days of summer much better
than the heavy draft horses. For the
show ring horse should not be too
fat but should show little of the rib.
The fat on horse is sure to hide de-
fects and judges should be very care.
full how they award premiums to fat
horses. He thought more attention
should be given to breeding general
horses for they are intrinsic
ally more valuable. more difficult to
find. and are. in great demand. 1t is
his experience that colt takes en-
durance or bottom from its dam and
its disposition from its sire. If this
could be fully established it would be-.
of vast Importance to all horse breed
ers. English hackneys make good
general purpose horses if crossed with.
suitable thoroughbreds. Hackney
style is hereditary.
