Coffee Cure for Horses.
From the Boston Globe.1

TIUII Iue DOsUOH OIOUe'I
The German naturalist, Martin, re-
lates case he recently met Of a horse
which owed it's life to coffee. 1t was
in such a bad way that it was con-
sidered incurable, and the owner sold
the animal for $15.
The animal was then almost a skele-
ton and SO weak that it could hardly
walk. The man who bought the
horse Immediately began to treat it
with coffee, giving infusions of roasted
coffee beans, and also coffee beans
ground and mixed with honey. In a
short time the horse began to improve,
and after few months it's new owner
was offered $3.50 for it.
He told Herr Martin he had brought
round by the same treatment many
horses which had been overworked or
had lost their strength and appetite.

AN EXPLANATION
OF why MIR. Cleveland and Byrnes
Were Seen Together.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-There are
two explanations of the fact of Super
intendent Byrnes and Mr.. Cleveland
having been seen together here.
The first was that the Superintend-
ent had offered Mr.. Cleveland the SER
vices Of detective to be constantly
with him until he starts for Washing
ton for the reason of desire to avoid
taking the chances that Mr.. Cleveland
might be molested by stray cranks,
either on the streets or at his house.
Mr.. Cleveland's friends say that he
declined to accept this offer.
The other statement was that, not
withstanding Mr.. Cleveland's wishes,
one of Mr.. Byrnes' men will not be
far off, no matter where the Presi-
dent-elect is whether in New York or
at Lakewood.
