FRESH AIR FOR HORSES.

A bright scheme is being executed
by New York horseman, who has a
son or two carrying on business in the
country. He buys horses at q low
figure that are young and promising,
but are in poor condition, and suffer
ing from heat and harsh treatment on
the paved streets. He sends them by
boat at small expense to his sons, who
use them from month to two or three
months on earth roads, give them
abundant green food, and not great
deal of grain, and treat them to every
liberty and comfort which the country
affords and their suffering natures de-
mand. At the same time the horses
are not left idle. The young men are
workers, and find it necessary to work
the horses, but this does not seem to
interfere in any way with their COM
plete restoration. When the horses
have improved sufficiently they are re-
turned to the city, and others taken
in their place, the father and sons
reaping a handsome profit between the
purchase and the selling price, as such
horses rested, refreshed and in good
ueSn are sometimes SOlO 1OF uOuOIe
what was paid for them.
Here is a feasible opportunity for
farmers who desire cheap work horses
and do not wish to winter them. Men
who know what horses are can buy to
advantage animals such as have been
described, from early spring to sum-
mer, wo1k them judiciously until they
are in a salable condition, and let them
go for more than enough to compen-
safe for any annoyance they may have
made, and for their board, having their
labor gratis. Two or three horses can
be returned and sold, and perhaps q
single one brought back to the farm to
use through the winter and sell in the
spring. Many horses that are some
what stiffened and famed from i'm
proper using and excessive pounding
on the pavements can be completely
cured by driving without shoes for a
season. By watching the feet for a
week or two after removing the shoes
that the edges are kept filed smooth,
almost any horse can be driven most of
the year on country roads without that
appendage commonly termed a shoe.

Washington for some time, has asked to be re-
leved and returned TO his regiment, but Secre-

any request of this kind until the investiga-
ton into the affairs of the Weather Bureau is
concluded. This request grows out of what
Lieut.. Purssel calls discourteous conduct on
the part of Chief Harrirg ton, of the Weather

mony in the investigation.

CARLISLE is BOSS
He Proposes to Run the Treasury to Suit


He Proposes to Run the Treasury to Suit
Himself.
Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle has init
mated very clearly to some of his subordinates
that he is the boss of the Treasury Depart
ment and that he proposes to have n hand in
running the same. The new Supervising
Architect, Mr.. O. Rourke, who halls from New
ark n. j., is said to have been called down
pretty severely last week. 1t appears that two
appointments had been recommended by him
for positions in the Architects Office, and they
were held Oh Secretary Carlisles desk.
Mr.. O'Rourlke was appointed through the in
fuence of Senator Smith, the new member OF
the United States Senate from New Jersey
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. ORourke supposed of
course, that-tho latter would have the right to
appoint suhordnates In his Office, and the
recommendations above referred TO were made
under this impression.
When the appointments recommended by
Mr.. ORourkc did not at once follow, both
Senator Smith and ORourle called upon Sec
rotary Carlisle. At this interview they were
informed very politely, but very emphatieally,
that in making appointments to Treasury posi-
tions Secretary Carlisle would assert his pre-
rogative; that applications for office should be
made to him, and in whatever bureau the posi-
ton was sought, he would, of course, consult
the head of that bureau; but it was not the
custom for the Chief of the Bureau to recon-
mend them in the first place.
1t is currently reported that this action of
Secretary Carlisle aroused both Senator Smith
and Architect O'Rourke; the former is on the
latter's bond and it said that when he
found his friend would have no say in making
appointments in his own bureau. the Senator
declared that he would remove his name from
O'Rourke's bond.
Architect O'Rourke is reported to have said
that he took the office under the impression that
he would have something to say i'll making the
appointments in it, but if that right was not
accorded him he would resign the position at
once. All the parties to the affair say however,
that no such assertions were made, and that DO
thought of them had ever been entertained.
They state that a mistake simply had been
made III the manner of recommending men for
appointment, and that everything having been
explained, perfect harmony now exists between
Senator Smith, his friend 0'Rourke and Secre-
tary Carlisle,

The letter written by President Cleveland
