wINDeALLs on HORSES.

Swelling or enlargement of the pastern
bones of horses are more likely to indi-
cate ringbone than wlndgalls. Sprains
of the back tendons are usually followed
by round, elastic, synovial swellings on
each side, and these are known as wind
gals. Sometimes such swellings are due
to hard work, and not to any sudden or
severe sprain, and in such cases may
lead to so severe an inflammation as to
reach and employ pressure with band
age and pads, applying for an hour or
two at first, night and morning, increas-
ing the time and pressure daily until the
gals disappear. This treatment may
have to be continued for a month or
longer before a cure is effected. Astrin-
gent lotions, such as alum and oak bark,
may be used with benefit, especially on
recent puffs, but those of long standing
require pressure in addition to cooling
and astringent lotion. Sometimes blis-
tering may be required, but blister
should never be applied until all heat
and tenderness have subsidized through
applications of cooling lotions. .-Ner

Old Watches of Little Value.

Some old watches have considerable
value and some have very little. In the
first category are watches with hogs
bristes for regulating the vibrations,
egg watches, all watches with one hand,
with or without ornamentations;w watches
without balance springs and without
regulating arrangements, those with per-
forated cases, those with finely chased
cases, if the chasing be distinct; enam
eled gold watches of fine workmanship
watches of wood or ivory or with iron
or porcelain cases, and nearly all watches
with peculiar movements. Old watches
of little value are those that have chased
cases the figures of which are worn off,
or, if well preserved, are of inferior
workmanship; painted pinchbeck cases,
cases of four colored gold layers with
ordinary designs, and painted dials that
display poor workmanship. Watches with
figures striking on bells are of little

HOW TO PRESERVE IRISH POTATOES.

The difficulty of keeping Irish pota.
toes in edible condition after March 1st
is we'll known to Southern housekeepers,
farmers and merchants. Professor
Schribaux, of the National College of
Agriculture of France, has recently de-
vised a very simple, cheap and successful
method by which he has been able to
preserve potatoes in the edible condition
for over year and a hal This pro-
cess has been adopted by the French
Government for preserving potatoes for
the army. The French Minister of Agri-
culture publishes the details of the pro-
cess of the official Bulletin du Minister
de D agricultural for March, 1891. The
following is translation of the essential
part of the scheme:.
1. The method of preserving consists
in plunging the tubers, before storing
them away, for ten hours into two per
cent. solution of commercial sulphuric
acid in water; two parts of acid to one
hundred parts of water.
2. The acid peuetrates the eyes to the
depth of about one-fortieth inch two
millimcters), which serves to destroy
their sprouting power; it does not have
any appreciable effect upon the skin of
the potatoes.
3. After remaining in the liquid ten
hours. The tubers must be thoroughly
dried before storing away.
A. The same liquid may be used any
number of times with equal good re-
suits.
5. A barrel or tank of any kind will
do for the treatment. The acid is SO
dilute 1t does not affect the wood.
&. Chemical analysis shows that potd-
toes treated by this process are as nu-
tritious and healthful after eighteen
months as when fresh dug.
z. Potatoes thus treated are, of ofcourse,
worthless for planting. Gerald Nc

rFFEcrs or STRONG DRINK.

Speaking of the effects Of strong drink
the gifted Henry w. Grady said: "To-
night it enters au humble home to strike tho
roses from a womans cheek, and tomorrow
it challenges this Republic to the halls of
Congress. To-day it strikes a crust from
the lips of a starving child, and tomorrow
levies tribute from the Government itself
There is no cottage in this city humble
enough to escape it--no palace strong
enough to shut it out. 1t deiies the laws
when it cannot cosrce suffrage. 1t is fiex-
ible in cajole, but merciless in victory 1t
is the mortal enemy of pence and order, the
despoiler of men and terror of women, the
cloud that shadows the face of children, the
uemon that has dug more graves ami sent
more souls unshriyed to judgment than all
the pestilences that have wasted life since
God sent the plaques to Egypt and all the
wars since Joshua stood beyond Jericho. 1t
comes to ruin, and it shall profit mainly by
the ruin of your sons and mine. Ii comes to
mislead human souls and TO crush human
hearts under its rumbling wheels. 1t comes
to bring gray-hairel mothers down in
shame and sorrow to their graves. 1t comes
TO destroy the wife'S love into despair and
pride into shame. 1t comes to still the
laughter on the lips Of tine little children.
1t comes to stihe eli the music of the home,
and fill it with silence aud desolation. 1t
comes to ruin your body and mind, TO wreck
your home. and it knows it must measure
its prosperity by the swiftness and certainty
with which il wreaks this world.'

The suppression of the saloons is moreover,
a moral issue. 1t is not a question of fiscal
expediency alone. 1t does not appeal to
self-interest alone Its claims reach the con.
science of men and women, simply directly,
and with tremendous power. 1t does not,
before reaching the moral sense require
mans intellect to grapple with,complex and
abstruse problems of finance or commerce.
1t contains the potency of a great moral en-.
thusiasm, the only thing in this sublunary
planet that has ever overturned great or
ganized injustice entrenchel I'm govern
mental and financial authority. 1t strikes
at an evil that men see and feel. 1t stalks
before them on the street and thrusts itself
upon their notice on the railroad car in the
street car, anywhere and everywhere. 1t
is an evil that comes close to men, in their
homes. among their friends. Men see and
feel and know it, and once give to this move
ment for its extirpation a size and sweep
that give promise of near success. and tho
nation will witness such tide of moral en-
thusiasm, such resistless uprising, as, we
verify believe, was never before witnessed in
this American Republic. This is proven by
the extent to which this issue, in State
amendment contests and despite the com.
bined forces of both old-party machines and
nearly the entire daily press, has stirred the
communities to their very depths. IL is an
issue men and women will brave death for;
it is an issue some of them have gladly died
for.-Ihe Voice.

GROUND BONES FoR POULTRY.

Ground bones and cut bones are differ
ent. A fresh, green bone cannot well
be ground. 1t may be crushed or
pounded, but not easily ground. Hand
mills are in use that permit of grinding
bones that have become hard and dry, or
have been steamed or heated, but the
green bones must be pounded or cut in
thin pieces with knives. There Is a
great difference in the value of fresh
bones from the butcher and those that
have been exposed until they are dry.
Green bones contain quite a portion of
meat and cartilage, and are greedily
eaten by all classes of 1owls.-Fdrm and

TO PROTECT THE CONSERVATORY.

The plant-bed cloth recommended as
a substitute for glass for hot beds and
cold frames may also be used advantage.
ously on cold nights to protect the con-
servatoIy from frost. 1t should be
placed over the glass in the evening and
removed IN the morning, unless the
weather in daytime is exceedingly severe,
in which case 1t may remain on If the
sky is clouded. The same material may
also DC used in the same way to keep
frost out of cold pits and winter-frames.
A covering of heavy paper, such as may
be found at a printing office, forms a
good protection, and mating, old car
pets and even newspapers will he found
useful. Two or three thickness of paper
placed between the glass and plants on a
cold night will often prevent serious
loss of plants from the action of extreme
frost.-Lddies' Home Companion.

WOOD ALCoHoL.

A subscriber living near where wood al
cohol is distilled writes asking IL it is ever
used for compounding drinks. We referred
this question TO the editors of the Scientific
American as high authority, and received
this answec: Ordinary wood alcohol is not
used for drinks unless in exceptional cases.
Its offensive odor can not he disguised, au1
II would be poisonous unless greatly diluted.
The process OF publication is expensive"
Here, as we have before pointed out, is one
step toward solving objections to the manu-
taeture of alcoholic beverages. Every pro-
hibitory law, constitutional or statuary, has
been fought with the assertion "rhe man.
uiacture of alcohol is absolutely necessary
for mechanical purposes" But wood alco-
hol is availabled for that use, while there is
very little danger of its being used for drink
ing purposes; the risk is too great both to
seller and drinker A few years ago in this
State, five out of six young men who had
drank such decoction sold them in a low
down saloon, died, and the man who sold it
to them is behind prison bars With alco-
holic wine banished from the communion
table, non-alcoholic medication demonstrated
by our Temperance Hospital, and wood al
cohol for use in mechanics aud the arts, there
is no longer any need for prohibitory laws

There is a popular idea that dentists
use gold for their filings because they
can charge more for it, and this idea IL
all the more prevalent because silver will
resist the acids of the mouth quite as
well as gold. The true explanation,
however, lies in the fact that gold is the
only metal that will weld while cold.
This neither silver nor any other metal
will do. The cohesive properties Of
perfectly smooth and clear gold are re-
markable. If n sheet of gold foil be al

ROASTED THE COURT.
Gen. Merritt Turns Down a Lot
OF Fresh Garrison Of
-ficers.
A Court Martial Which Lost
Sight Of Its Own Bust
ness.

Some of the courts martial conducted
rare and racy affairs. A couple of years
ago the GLOBE showed in the case of
Dell Wild to what foolish extre mes
some Of the regular officers go in pre-
ferring charges against sub0rdi-
mates. But with Gen. Merritt in
command of this department there
will be very much less of such
foolishness. Gen. Merritt has just
called down the officers of court mar
tial which sat at Fort Yates Oh the case
of Sergeant William DAILY. of the signal
corps. 1t appears that Lieut.. Day chad
it in'' for DAILY, and preferred charges
against him, alleging drunkenness and
dsobedience. Under the first charge
there were eleven specifications, and
under the latter it was set up that DAILY
had failed to index letter file and
spoken diSrespectfully of Lieut.. Day.
Of course, the court martial found Day
guilty Courts martial, composed of
commissioned officers, always convict
men in the ranks; but, when the pro-
ceedings came before Gen. Merritt tor
review, he reversed the findings and
roasted the court in tho following lam
guage: DIS sob
In the case of Sergeant William Daily,
signal corps, United States army, the
accused declined to challenge any mem
Der: thereupon member stated that he
declined to sit upon the court in this,
case because he had formed all opinion.
After some objection to his being eX-
cuSed the court cleared and proceeded
to pass upon the question, and declined
to excuse the member. When the court
came to be sworn, and Immediately
after the oath had been read by the
judge advocate, the same member
stated: II refuse to take that oath, as
| have formed a positive opinion in
this case which | do not regard

introduced before this court" The
action of this member was unWarranted.

lie may state the grounds of his pro-
fessed disability TO both parties; if both
refuse to challenge he should cOmmunl-
cate with the converting authority, stat
ing the facts. 1t is. however, well set
tied principle that he may be required
to proceed to discharge his duty with
due regard to the solemn obligations of
the oath.
The III pages Of record in this case
are replete with errors. The ruling out
of legitimate testimony and the ruling
in of matter wholly irrelevant occurs
again and again. The court seems to
have lost sight at times of the specific
charges committed to it for inveStiga-
ton; the consequence is record over
burdened with many pages of matter
foreign to the case.
The latitude of investigation and com
