WOOL BALLS IN LAMBS sToMACus

The presence of foreign substances
In the stomachs of animals is not at all
infrequent. The causes-uf IL vary
Sometimes they are due to the animals
licking themselves or each other in the
spring, when the hair is shedding, and
lambs often pull the wool from the
Sleeps udders in the act of sucking.
But sometimes it is due to indigestion,
by which IN abnormal appetite is pro-
duced and the animals pull the wool
or bite off the hair to satisfy this un-
the stomach with undigested grass or
hay. This, of course, increases the
disease of the stomach and soon pro-
duces failure of appetite, emaciation,
diarrhea, or prolonged constipation.
Then follows the common partial par
alysis due to the disorder of the nerv
GUS system resulting from malnutri-
tion, and tho animals stagger about,
falling and lying disabled, or unable
to stand on their fore or hind legs.
The remedy is difficult, as the collec-
tion of hair forms ball or wad that
cannot pass the opening into the bowels
or collects in these and stops the pass.
age. The only remedy is prevention
by closely watching the stock, clipping
the wool from the udders of the sheep
and thoroughly carding and brushing
the COWS and horses to remove the
loosened hair and prevent it from be-
ing licked off.-New York Times.

A Boston newspaper devoted TO
the cause of woman suffrage considers
it an injustice that the Jury in the
Borden case should have been COM
posed entirely of men. II contcuds
that owning to the domestic character
Of many of the circumstances connect
cd the case, women would have made
better jurors than the opposite sex,
and that a wOman Oh trial tor her lite
should have the right to demand IN
equal representation of women on the
jury. There Is some force in this
argument, nut n woman on trial be-
fore men is not altogether helpless
and perhaps their chances may il
some cases be better than if judged
by their own sex. The defendant
man or woman, has a right TO objec
TO any person sitting as a juror who
is shown to be prejudiced or incom
potent. 1t should be borne i'll mine
also that, 50 far as sympathy is con
ccrned. there are few men not pre-
disposed TO regard the opposite SC.
with tender consideration.

Leland Stanford.

The death of Leland Stanford, while
sudden. has not been unanticlpated
by those familiar with the iron will
by which alone he had for a long
time, and especially during the pas!
year, sustained life under a prescribed
regincd from which most men would
shrink. That Mr.. Stanford recognized
the necessity of retiring from public
life was only shown by the announce
ment of his probable resignation as a
United States Senator. His sea will
be filed by appointment by the GOV
ernor ofC~alifornia, a Republican. The
death of Senator Stanford will bring
a sense of personal loss to a circle,
outside of kinship or intimate a~ssocia-
ton, unusually large. He ama>scd
riches and he used them for the benc-
of others. lie did not wait for death
before making public use of his for
tune, but in his life he had seen the
growth and service of the University
bearing bis name, TO which he donat-
cd, it is said, about St.000.00u. The
example of active benevolence which
he gave during his lifetime is one
that the wealthy men of America NAV
probably initiate.

Women for school superintendent.

The movement in Iowa in behalf of
the nomination ofMiss Alice l.. Head
for State Superintendent of Pubic
instruction on the Republican ticket
is significant as to the trend Of public
sentiment in the West respecting the
fitness Of women for certain public
functions. Prominent educators
throughout the State warmly indor>e
the movement. The Burlington
Hawk-Eye declares that the nomina-
ton would strengthen the Republican
state ticket. Miss Head. who is SIS
wears old, has been a county %superin-
tendent of public schools for several
years, and last year was appointed a
member of the State Board of Educa-
ton.

State Superintendent If Public In

velopement of . phase of the school
policy which that State has followed
for some time. Public schools i'll
various cities have women for princi-
pals. Several counties have elected
women as school superintendent.
The proportion of female teachers is
