FLIGHT.


II was nine o'clock In the evening.
Major Taliaferro and his guests were
itting In his Office room chatting. A
clatter Of horses hoofs was heard at the
front Of the house and some one dis
mounted. In another moment there was
q tramp Of cavalry boots In the hall; all
turned to the open door-and there stood
Captain Cameron Fitz Hugh.
For moment he regarded Mark and
Laura sternly; then advancing . few
steps he bowed low to Laura.
Captain" said the major rising, ~
suppose It is useless to deny to this lady
and gentleman that deemed II my duty
to make sure Of their identity before al.

ton. see you have answered my In
q1iry in person. II you vouch for them
I shall be happy to pass them In the
Torning. and shall apologize for their
detention at tho same time-my excuse
being the cause we serve"
All eyes were fixed on Fitx Hugh,
Marks and Laura's with III concealed
anxiety.
"This was Miss Fain," said Fitz Hugh.
'f,he would not be travelling as any
mans wife unless she were married to
him. II you detain them. you must do

Both Mark and Laura drew . sigh OF
relief.
~ have no desire to detain them"
said Taliaferro, latter what You have
said, but It Is altogether too late for
them to proceed tonight. The only
amends I can make for discommoding
them is to make them comfortable.

Not Proud Of His Election.

In this country when II comes to the
casting Of ballots the person elected to
the position awarded by the suffrage OF
the people Is always extremely proud OF
the result, even though he may not be
especially desirous Of holding Office. In
other countries. too. the recipient OF the
greatest number Of ballots at the polls
Is apt to swell with pride over the ont.
come Of the voting. but there Is case
ON record In Japan where the winner at
the polls was not only sorry for his suc-
cess, but came through that success sub
seouently to wish he had never been
born. This was In the village OF Ava,
and the person honored. or dishonored,
by the majority vote was Jap OF the
name Of Abi Tanihei.
Il seems that the village Of AVA was
harrassed by midnight robber whom
nobody could detect. The head OF the
hamlet summoned tho entire male pop
ulation under his charge and, directed
every man to write the rame OF the per-
SON whom he suspected and to deposit
the paper In box. Fifteen ballots bore
the name Of Abi Tanihci, the rest being
blanks. The man whom everybody dis.
trusted was 80 much overcome with as
tonishment that he made full confes-
sion and went to prison. - Harpers

WATERING HORSES IN HOT
WEATHER..

No careful observer can doubt that
the majority of work-horses suffer a
great deal from thirst during the hot
months of summer. The horse is much
like man In the matter Of drink-needs
water In small quantities aud needs u
often. His stomach Is too small to hold
more than pallful without crowding
out the food; aud this amount IL used up
In a very short time when the weather
Is warm and the animal Is at work.
Horses perspire freely, and the demand
here made upon the system Is constant
and often heavy.
The heat generated by exercise, or a
large part of Il, must be thrown OF In
some way, and this IL done most rapidly
through the converting Of water within
the body into steam, which, With its
latent heat, escapes through the pores OF
the skin. Though the reservoir at the
stomach be empty, and the blood be re-
duced to its last extremity In obtaining
a supply Of liquid, still the demand IL
unremltting. Meanwhile nature heavily
applies the scourge Of thirst In an effort
to drive the animal to seek the needed
draft.
II horse Il allowed to become very
thirsty aud warm and then permitted to
drink all he will, he Is very apt to injure
himself seriously. This fact IL 50 aide
In known, aud yet so imperfectly under
stood, that II has led to the popular fal-
lacy that horse should not be allowed
10 drink at all when heated. This wide
spread error has been productive OF a
great deal Of cruelty In the treatment OF
heated and thirsty horses. IL deprives
thousands Of suffering animals OF water
at time when Il would be to them the
best Of medicines II given In proper
do ,es. believe IL Is the common YER
diet of the best veterinarians that
horse l. seldom or never so much heated
as to be injured by a few swallows OF
water-if the water be not too cold.
A man can best Judge Of his horses
condition aud needs by thinking Of his
own. As ne often gets 81 heated that he
cannot drink very freely with impunity.
but he never gets so warm that he VIII
refuse to wet his parched throat with
swallow of water at the temperature at
which it comes from the veins OF the
earth. Aud he may rest assured that his
heated horse is In no more danger OF be-
ing ssfounderet," under the same treat
ment, than he himself. And the horse
needs the refreshment and appreciates it
lust as much as the man.
The man generally carries Jug OF
water into the field for himself, and u
would be- great thing for the horse II
he should be treated With the same con-
alteration. IL IL too long for horse
TO 20 half day without water when at
hard work under hot sun. Every
lover Of this noblest Of our animal serv-
ants should lend hand aud a voice In
favor of a reform In this matter. Those
who can be reached In no other way
should know that the horse well-cared
for In the matter Of drink, as well as that
OF food, will pay for the extra care In q
better and longer service.-Country

n,on PRICES LOOKED FOR.

The st. Louis Journal Of Agriculture
has the following:
Information comes from Iowa and
many parts OF other states, that the wet
spring and storms Of various kinds are
cutting the pig crop short. Even u the
spring had been favorable, the supply OF
hogs would have been somewhat deficl-
ent, because the breeding sows, under
the influences Of good prices, had been
sold OF very closely. The shortage OF
the plg crop following up an existing
shortage of hogs, means that the prices
of that valuable species Of animal will
likely continue TO bring good prices for
another year.
IL IL very evident that the scarcity OF
hogs aud the consequent high prices OF
pork will have n tendency To Increase
the price Of beef. When the price OF
pork or any other article Of food reaches
a certain point. people, especially the
poorer classes, change to q cheaper food.
The increased consumption OF beef, in
consequence Of high-priced pork, VIII
doubtless result In Increasing the price
of beef cattle; more especially so when
n Ia learned that the best authorities on
the couutry's cattle supply have come
10 the conclusion that there is also q
shortage Of beef cattle.
The facts point to better times Tor
cattle men, and while there is no ground
for excitement In anticipation OF cattle
boom, the signs Of the times certainly
do admonish cattlemen to take the very
heat care Of their stock, and be
prepared to reap the benefits OF good
prices when they come.
