Wash the affected parts well in fish brine

Wipe dry and then smear well .ssish a mixture
made Of yaselinc l ounce ssSIf Nof lead !
dram and carbolic acid 10 drops, Then keep
the animal i'll a dry pasture When q hosse
has the scratches the stables should be thor
oughy cleaned out every day; the droppngs
must be kept regularly removed, and thenethe
floors should be sprinkled with fresh lime
Bad cases of scratches in horses may be cured
occasionally by blowing the animals in fresh
land. Washing in the fish brine and then
painting the affected parts heavily with white
lead and linsecd oil will sometimes cure the
worst cases of scratches. A little turpen-
tine should be added to the paint.

A GOLD MINE IN THE TEETH.

French statisticians have recently
made some curious calculations of the
amount of gold which is annually
buried in the United States. M. Victor
Meunir asserts, after making careful
inquiries, that the American dentists
annually insert into the teeth of their
patients, 1900 pounds of the precious
metal, which would be worth $3.50, 600.
This gold is never recovered, of course,
but is buried with the person in whose
mouth it is placed. Making allowance
for the rapid increase of our population
and for the continued deterioration Of
the human teeth, it appears that in
less than a hundred years American
cemeteries will contain more gold than
now exists in France. This is no fancy
sketch, but the result of study and cold
fguring.-St. Louis Republic.

1868 L AN HOUR.

A locomotive working under a pres
sure of 40 to 165 pounds to the square
inch of boiler surface may move a train
at a velocity of sixty miles per hour
and, under favorable circumstances,
even a greater distance. While we
are apt to think this a wonderful rate
of speed, it is slow, very slow, when
compared with the velocity of a pro
iectile fired from a modern "great
gun" Such missiles push forward
through the air at the rate of 1866
miles per hour, the impelling force
exerting a pressure of $4,000 to 40, 00O
pounds to each square inch.-St. Louis
Republic.

pearance and condition of the body
that the man must have regained con
sclouSness a few hours, or at least a
day, after he was buried These opin-
ions were told to Mrs. GarIin, and she
brooded over the terrible fate Of her
beloved husband. She blamed herself
for allowing his body to be placed in
the tomb so soon, and two months
afterward she was found dead in her
bed. The doctors said, and all Of her
friends believed it to be so, that she
died of a broken heart.
Three years ago, while laborers were
removing the dead bodies from an old
graveyard in the lower part of New
York City, Of the coffin lids fell off.
The body, which was that of a man,
lying face downward, and the limbs
were turned and twisted in all kinds Of
showing clearly that the man had been
buried alive.
Another case, which was discovered
In Brooklyn, N. Y, a few years ago,
was that of twin girls, who had been
buried in the same coffin alive. They
were but four years old when the doc
tors pronounced them dead, both hav-
ing been found unconscious in their
beds. The case was a very mysterious
one, and was brought to light in a
peculiar manner. The bodies were
buried prematurely, it was claimed,
and, in order to prove it, it was neces-
sary to open the coffin. The baby girls
we're clasped in each others arms, and
their skin and shrouds were torn.
"That these people were buried alive
is beyond doubt" a well known Chi
cago physician explained to me the
other day, when I preached the CHASTITY
subject. "You often hear of people
remaining unconscious for days and
months at a time, living without food
or water, and altogether in a state
similar to death. 1t would be very
natural for physician to conscientious
~ pronounce a person in such a state
dead, and have no doubt whatever
that hundreds of people are buried
alive each year. You see there is no
way of finding out. We have appear
ances only to go by, but 1 think they
are enough to satisfy any man of sense
and judgment"
Just then the physicians pretty
daughter came into the room, and the
CHASTITY subject seemed to fade from
his mind, so 1 bothered him no longer.

A MAN WHO WALKS BACKWARD

The cas- of Joseph Copeman, ayoung
deaf mute, whose powers of locomotion
are so affected from some unknown
cause that he is obliged to walk back
ward, after the manner of a crab, has
completely mystifed DR.. Horatio @.
Wood, under whose care the boy lies
in the University Hospital. Copeman
was born in England about ten years
ago. At the age of three years an at.
tack of scarlet fever brought about the
loss of his hearing, and he also grad
ually lost all power Of speech. Shortly
after this he came with his parents to
this country, settling at Osceola Mills,
in Clearfield county.
Very soon after the arrival of the
family here the mother died and the
boys father disappeared very suddenly.
Since that time the young unfortunate
has been living with his grandmother,
Mrs. Baker, at Osceola Mills. At the
age Of six years he had two or three
slight attacks of commissions that did
not seem to effect him seriously, but
about a year later he had a severe fit,
which left him in an unconscious CON
dition.
When he recovered he remained in a
state of profound stupor for several
days, but later recovered his apparent
good health, and continued in a normal
condition until April last. His grand
mother then noticed that the boy occa-
sionally limped very painfully with his
left leg. She imagined he was mimic
ing an old cripple of the neighborhood,
punished him and admonished him not
to repeat the offence. The boy rapidly
grew worse and finally lost the use of
his left leg. The left arm also became
affected, and he developed a tendency
to walk backward instead of in the
usual way.
The grandmother became alarmed
and sent the boy toahospital in Philips
burg. He received no benefit from his
treatment at that institution, and was
afterwards, through the influence of
Rev. DIR. Clerc, sent to St. Luke's Hos
pital, Bethlehem, Penn. He under
went treatment there for about three
weeks and was throught to be consid-
erably benefited. After leaving the
institution DR.. Clerc made application
for admission to the deaf and dumb
asylum at Broad and Pine streets. The
boy arrived at the institution in Sep
TENDER, but when his peculiar con
dition was discovered Superintendent
Crauter and DR.. Lewis concluded to
place him under the care of aphysician
rather than send him to a class for in
struction in the sign language.
A peculiar phase of his case lies in
the fact that, when standing erect, if
he desires to move from one point to
another he is obliged to turn and walk
backward, while, by assuming a stoop-
ing position he can shuttle forward in
| the usual way.-Philadelphia Record
