BLOATlNG IN CATTLE.
Some Simple Means OF AlIeviating tn

Some Simple Means OF AlIeviating the
Dangerous Ailment.
When detected in the beginning, give
every half hour half an ounce of aqua
ammonia in a quart of cold water.
When bloating has lasted over twelve
hours, different kind of gas is gen.
Grated, and different remedies must be
used, such as two drachms of chlori-
mated lime dissolved in a pint of cold
water and repeated every hour. After
a severe attack of bloating, always give
laxative dose of medicine, such as a
pound and half of EPSON salts dis
solved in a quart of hot water, and to
which solution add pint Of moiasses
and an ounce of ground ginger.
In urgent cases when medicine can
not soon be had, plunge a trocar into
the left flank inward, downward and
forward, in the direction of the right
elbow, inserting it midway between the
last rib and the hipbone, and about
eight inches from the bones of the
loin. When away out in the field and
no trocar IL obtainabble. IA long bladcd
penlsnifc may be used, putting it in to
the handle, and holding IL in this po-
sition SO long as gas escapes. But the
knife is not "a safe instrument as par
ticles of food are apt TO pass into the
abdominal cavity, where it may cause
fatal infammation.-Prair Farmer.

On property where the rabbit
shooting was strictly preserved upon
the southern coast of England, says "a
London correspondent, boy wa VS. once
caught with two dead rabbits In his
possession and nothing that would ac-
count for their decease. A search OF
his pockets revealed nothing but two
large crabs of small dimensions, the
end Of candle and box Of matches.
Under promise of release, the urchin
was persuaded to disclose his method
of procedure.
First he selected likely burrow, and
then he stripped off his clothes, put
ting his coat over one hole, his trousers
over mother and his shirt over a third
He lit the candle end; dropped u little
of the grease upon crabs back, and
stuck the lighted candle thereon, and
then put the crab at an unoccupied
opening. Straightway the frightened
torchbearer fed sideways into the
darkness, and explored the innermost
depths, while the boy, expectant as
n terrier, awaited events outside. Pres
emily a rabbit bolted into the coat, and
boy, rabbit and coat rolled over togeth-
er, the boy rising from the fray with
the rabbit in his clutches. What hap

1t is only a question of time when
broad wagon tires win be seen on all
our wagons employed for hauling mer-
chandise and freight. the same as may
be seen in all the capitals OF Europe.
The Ontario department OF agriculture
has sent out n valuable special report,
or bulletin, setting forth the treatment
necessary 20 make, as well as to main
tain, good roads. The report says the
repairing Of roads once year (the
usual plan) is wrong in principle, as al
most always it is done in the spring,
the good effects disappearing before
the time for fall and winter travel sets
in. The report strongly eommends the
movement in favor OF wide tires for
draft vehicles. 1t says it has been
proved by repeated experiments that
wheels with tires two and onc-half
inches wide cause double the wear
OF wheels which have four and one
half inch tires. The wide tire has a
tendency TO roll the roadbed and keep
il smooth at the same time, while the
narrow one cuts it up and requires
more hauling force for the same weight
of load, besides spelling the thorough
fare Most OF the European countries
have laws regulating this matter.

superstitlore of T. rave People.

If one will take the trouble to go
through the names of most of the
bravest people in history, he will find
that they nearly all suffered from some
superstition or other. Napoleon Bona
parte was simply eaten by supersti-
tions, and SO was the duke of Marl-
borough. Literary men have always
been notoriously superstitious, from
the days of DIR. johnson, who would go
back half mile if he remembered that
he had omitted TO touch any one Of
the lampposts on his daily walk, to
Dean Swift, who would never change
a garment il he found that he had
put it on inside out, and Lord Byron,
who would get up and leave dinner
party instantly il anybody split the
salt. Statesmen have not been cx-
empt from superstitions either. Lord
Beaconsfleld would always take cspe-
cial care to enter the house with his
right foot foremost when he was going
to make a big speech. Mr.. Parnell had
a strong prejudice against sitting in a
room with three candles. William Pitt
would return home at once, however
important his business, if he met
cross-cyed man in the street, while Sir
Robert Peel would always make the
sign against the evil eye with his fin
gers and thumb under similar circum-
stances.

a WISE PASHA.
Who Was Able to Live AmicabIy with
Several Wives.

Ismail appears to have been one OF
the few men who have succeeded in
living in amity with a number of wives
under the same root. Writing upon the
glamour of the harem and the khedive's
relation toward his spouses, Miss Chen
nells. in her book, "Recollections of an
Egyptian Princess" says:
1.-The great object of European ladies,
either at Constantinople or Cairo. is to
get an introduction to the harem; but
once visited the charm is generally
broken. On fete days the impression
is gorgeous; the magnificent dresses,
the splendid apartments, the flashing
of Jewels, the open courts with the
feathery palms, and the sound of fall
ing waters, all produce delightful eff
feet. but on ordinary visits you were
struck with the entire absence of any
thing to promote amusement or mental
occupation. No books, music, or any
little feminine work lying bout. The
windows might look out on garden,
but there was sure to be a high wall
which shut out all outer life. The
khedive, to do him justice, was anxious
to raise the position of women; he
founded schools for girls, he endeav-
ored to promote education in his own
harem, and gave much greater liberty
and means, both of recreation and in
struction, to its inmates than any
sovereign had done before him. Ismail
Pasha had four wives, the full proper
tion allowed by the koran. To the
first and second he was married when
quite young, and to the third after his
accession. These three ladies lived
with him in the same palace. They, of
course, had separate suites of apart
ments, but they lived in perfect amity,
as had full opportunity of knowing
later. ! once said what a wonderful
thing it was for three wives to live to-
gether like affectionate sisters, but

because his highness never shows any
preference for one more than the others;

The NEW OPERATOR.

He Thought the Moon Was n Headlight
and So Reported.
1t was a sleepy little Massachusetts,
town, but there was railroad running
through it, and for the accommodation
of a few summer patrons of the line
station had been built, says the Boston
Herald. The pooh bah of the place
oficiated as telegraph operator, station
agent and yardmaster. Through some
misunderstanding with the company
one pooh bah had been discharged
and sent upon his way with troubled
conscience, and new operator had
been engaged to fill his place. The
new man, while he was a good operator
and understood railroad matters well
enough to take the position, was total
ly unacquainted with the locality in
which he now found himself. The
tracks from the station stretched away
through lot of farmland for about
quarter of mile, then disappeared in
the center of dense forest Of fir and
spruce. The first night that the new
pooh bah was in charge he had Just
finished taking orders for "A train that
would pass the station about IL o'clock,
and he stepped to the station door to
glance down the tracks. Far down at
tLc edge of the woods that loomed up
black against the lighter gray sky Of
the summer night he saw a bright
light, and, thinking it must be some
special train that he did not know
about, he turned the lever of the sem
aphore and again stepped inside the Of
fee. Just as he did SO the superin-
tendent of the next station, who had
been out driving with his wife, en-
tered the main office door to inquire if
all was well and how the new man was
getting along. The operator spoke of
the special train that was coming up
the tracks, and The "super" looked
puzzled and went to the door
What special train do you mean?"
he asked. 81 see none"
"Why, there 1t is, down by the black
woods; don't you see the headlight"
replied the operator.

DUMB ANIMALS SHED TEARS.

The Touching and Pathetic Way In Which
a Horse soIicits Sympathy.
Many people believe that horses do
not weep, but those who have had
lures know that on several occasions
they will shed tears as well as express
sorrow in the most heartbreaking man
rer. In the west, where the hardness
of the ponies causes the riders to al
most overlook the necessity of provid-
ing for their needs, it is quite common,
when the weather is extremely cold, to
to leave an unblanketed pony tied up
for two or three hours when the tenn
perature is nearly zero, and while its
owner is transacting business or get
ting drunk. In this case the suffering
is evidenced by cries which are almost
like sobs, and the unmistakable tears
freeze onto the cheeks like icicles.
When a horse falls in the street and
gets injured the shock generally numbs
its senses so much that it does not
either cry or groan, but under some
conditions an injured horse will solicit
sympathy in the most distinct manner.
| remember favorite horse OF my

New York Telegram, which trod on a

The poor thing hobbled up to me on

In India and Africa the charmers
pretend the snakes dance to the music,
but they do not, for they never hear
IL. A snake has no external ears, and
perhaps gets evidence of sound only
through his skin, when sound causes
bodies in contact with him TO vibrate.
They hear also through the nerves OF
the tongue, but do not at all compre-
hend sound as we do. But the snakes
eyes are very much alive TO the motions
of the charmer, or to the moving
drumsticks of his confederate, and, be-
ing alarmed, he prepares TO strike. A
dancing cobra land no other snakes
dance) is simply a cobra alarmed and
in posture of attack. He is not dane
ing TO the music, but is making ready
to strike the charmer.

When hay or fodder is stacked out Of
doors the pitching up of the last two
loads is attended with extremely heavy
straining work by the man on the load.
From this cause stacks are too often
topped out and called finished before
they are high enough to properly shed
rain. The accompanying engraving

IN A BAD FIX.
The Startling Sight Which Met a Bon

vivant's Gaze Next Morning.
Here is a story which, according to
the New York Sun, was favorite in
the repertory of q famous CinciDna-
tian:
dGn one occasion" he was wont to
say, "a friend of mine had been on
terrific spree which had been occupy
ing his nights right along for two
weeks or more. He managed somehow
to be on deck during business hours,
but when night came he was down in
the hold and everywhere else. One
morning he awoke heavy-headed, half
dressed and lying crosswise of the bed.
When he had gone to sleep or how he
did not remember. There was the odor
of stale beer and wine and tobacco
smoke in the room, and bottles and
cigar butts were scattered all over.
By great effort he got to his feet, and
for an instant his mead felt as If it
would fall off and burst into a million
pieces. He cast his eyes around the
room. As they fell upon the foot of
the bed they encountered grim and
grinning monkey sitting on the rail.
There was no known reason why
monkey should be there, but there it
sat and grinned. He watched it intent
ly as he slipped over toward a table
where lay loaded revolver. He was
very, very rocky, but he had grip
enough to hold the gun, and with
sudden movement he had it trained on
the simian. He was famous shot, but
the monkey never wavered. 1t simply
friend held the pistol down on it for O
second, steadily.
"'Now,' he said, nervously, ii you
are real monkey, you are in bad fix
then he hesitated 4 moment-'but Il
you are not he went on, then I'm in

days before he was himself again"
