WATERING A HORSE.
He c an Live n Long Time Wi hout Fool
but Must Have Drink

He an Live - Long Time Without Food
but Must Have Drink.
A horse can live twenty-five days
without solid food merely drinking
water, seventeen days without either
eating or drinking and only five days
when eating solid food without drink
ing. An idea prevails among horse
men that a horse should never be wa
tered oftener than three times day or
in twenty-four hours. This is not only
a mistaken idea but brutal practice
A horses stomach is extremely sensi-
tive and will suffer under the least in
reference causing "a feverish condi-
tion.
Feeding horse principally on grain
and driving it for hours without water
is like giving a man salt mackerel for
dinner and not allowing him to drink
until supper time-very unsatisfactory
for the man.
If you know anything about the care
of horses and have any sympathy for
them water them as often as they want
to drink-once an hour, if possible.
By doing this you will not only be
merciful to your animals but you will
be benefactor to yourself as they
will do more work; they will be
healthier; they will look better and
will be less liable to coughs and colds
and will live longer
A horse Is u great deal like a man.
Let him get overworked. overstarved
or abused. and particularly for the
want of sufficient drink in warm

always be injurious. Sensible hostlers
in large cities are awakening to the
advantage of frequent watering.
Street-car horses are watered every
hour and sometimes oftener. while
they are at work. 1t is plenty of
water that supplies evaporation or
perspiration and keeps down the tenn
perature.
Twenty years ago a person having
fever of any kind of pneumonia was
allowed but little water to drink. and
then it had to be tepid. To-day
practitioners prescribe all the iced
water the patient can possibly drink
and in addition cold bandages are ap-
piled to reduce and control the tenn
perature of the blood. What is ap-

Don't think it is horse and capable
OF enduring any and all things. A
driver who sits in his wagon and
lashes his worn-out half-curried. half
fed and half-watered team should never
complain of any abuse he may receive
from his master or employer, for he is
lower in character. harder in SYM
pathy and less noble than the brutes
he is driving. and deserves, in the
name of all that is human. the same
punishment as criminal.

A Terrible Trip OH q Tight-Rope.

Blondin, the renowned rope walker,
usually carried a man upon his back
when walking the tight-rope, For-
merly he was wont to bargain with
some one to accompany him OH this
dangerous journey. On the occasion
of performance in Chicago man
offered his services gratis. Blondin
accepted them aud ascended the rope
with his living burden. When the
pair had reached the middle Of the
|lrope the man began to laugh heartily.
"What Is it that amuses your" the
rope-dancer asked, with astonishment.
"Oh, comic idea has just struck
me. l was thinking what sort of a
face you would pull if, during the
next half minute, both of us were to
fall down upon the audience"
"But we shall not fall" replied
Blondin, reassuringly.
"But l have determined upon this
occasion to take my life."
At the same moment the man began
to wriggle about, SO that the rope
dancer nearly lost his balance. He,
however, soon composed himself,
dropped his balancing-pole and
gripped the man SO firmly with his
hands that the latter was unable to
move. Then continuing his walk.
although in state of great treplda-
ton, he arrived safely at the end of
the rope, and, allowing his living
burden to slide from his shoulders, he
administered box on both ears with
such force that the would-be suicide
fell down unconscious. Since that
terrible journey Blondin has carried
only one man, his true and faithful
servant, on every occasion.

The Rayages of Cholera.

The discovery of a method that

cholera would be of great usefulness.
For in India, the home of that disease,
the average annual mortality there
from in the cities is 3.32, and in the
country 1852 per 1000 living. The
army statistics show that 2. 40 per
cent. of the European soldiers are adj
mitted to the hospital for cholera,
while only 0. 95 per cent. of the native
soldiers are admitted for the disease;
but the mortality, $3.50 per cent. for
the former, 35. 5 per cent. for the lat
ter, is almost equal. In the various

Taking Leave.

When the thrush brief snatches sang
OF his wondrous tune,
And the woods no longer rang
With the joys Of June;
Then we knew that day by day,
Summers face would turn away.
From the ripened thistles went
Floating wee balloons.
All seemed on journey bent,
In those August moons.
But lake and sky wore deeper blue,
To show that Summers heart was true.
Soon the birches could not hold
Back their yellow leaves;
Royal roads must shine with gold,
Though the forest grieves.
Lighting now their torches red,
Naples in the pageant led.
Shrillest herald Of the fall,
Piped the busy jay;
Armies, mastering at his call,
Winged their silent way;
Drowsy crickets chirped goodbye;
fingered last, one butterfly.
Not unguarded is the throne:
Chickadees are left;
Pine and fir-trees hold their own;
Can we feel bereft?
Nay, amid the snow and frost,
Summers colors are not lost.

On the Threshold.

The new year dawns apace;

Won they the fight?
The laggard Time doth tread
On hosts of valiant dead;-
Right slain by might.
The old year needless dies.

A world for succor cries,
Long on the way
Through darkness, greed and crime;-
When cometh that new time
For which men pray?

Impatient soul!
More smiles and fewer tears
While ages roll;
Truth leading still the van;
Man helping fellow-man,
IlIumes the scroll.
Then hail the coming day,
And bravely press
Untroubled on the way;-
Heal some distress,
And count as victory won
Each nearest duty done,
And that shall bless.

OGDEN, May 2.-The Utah board of
Presbyterian college trustees held an all
day session today. the topic of considera-
ton and discussion being the proposition
made by Ogden to secure the completion
OF the great university commenced by the
Methodist Episcopal church. This prop
osition is an extremely liberal one, and
would give the board the partially COM
pleted building and a large cash and land
bonus 1t is looked upon with favor by
the national board of the church, which
has prepared to advance all necessary
money 10 complete and properly equip
the Institution, providing the Utah board
recommends the step. 1t seems there
are several Salt Lake members who favor
the latter city as the location for the uni
yersity, and as the city has also made a
land proposition, the board has thus far
arrived at no decision. An adjournment
was taken tonight until II O'Clock to-
morrow at Salt Lake city, when it is very
probable vote will be taken upon the
two propositions.
Before the meeting was called to order
this morning the trustees were taken out
TO the university site, and all were inn
pressed with its beauty.

The Grand .Iurr,s Work.

The grand jury completed its investiga-

alton this morning, and devoted the bal
ance of the day to visiting the city and
county iails, reform school and Door

Most of the day was devoted by the dis
trict court to civil business. No very inn
portant cases were called up. Lottie

divorce from her husband, Charles Jacob
son, the grounds being desertion and
failure to provide. The divorce case OF

as the woman had filed consent for de-
fault. This action tinged of connivance
between the parties and the Judge de-
cided to compel them to wait the regular
time before default was taken.
The county court met in weekly session
this morning, but the proceedings were
almost devoid of interest There is now

The Lewis Case.

The Lewis estate contest has taken a
sudden and unexpected turn. Today
Mrs Elenora Lewis, alleged widow of
Thomas A. (George) Lewis, filed petit
ton with the probate court in which she
admits that she is not entitled to letters
OF administration on the estate, but
asks that letters be not issued
to Professor T. B. Lewis. the other
claimant, for the reason that he bears
much i'll viii toward her and would not
administer the affairs of his office fairly
and impartially. She also filed claims
against the estate amounting to 81 300.
1t will be remembered that the court
ruled that in order to establish her claim
as the wife of the dead gambler it would
be necessary for her to produce the
papers showing a divorce from her for
mer husband: This, it seems, she is I'M
able to do and must of necessity fight the
fight on different tact. No date has
been set for the hearing.
