A great many horses are injured and
some Of them utterly spoiled by inn
proper feeding. In many cases the
material used is not especially adapted
to the needs of the animals, while in
others it is actually injurious.
Many cases of heaves arc caused BY
feeding musty hay, and even more all.
ments must be traced to the use Of
damaged grain. There are also many
cases of diseases resulting from the inn
proper use of good materials While .
few feed too little hay, there are many
who give their horses altogether too
large q quantity.
They fill their managers or sacks, and
when the animals have disposed Of what
they received q new supply is given.
In this way, when the horses are in the
barn. most Of the time they are, rs far
as quantity is concerned, greatly over
fed.
When these horses are required for
work, and really need food more than
when they are comparatively idle, they
receive much smaller quantity.
The safe way to do in the matter 10
to feed the horses regularly, giving him
an abundant quantity, not overlooking
him. When work is required grain
should be added to the hay in proper
ton to the work required.
Even when the horse is idle small
quantities of grain fed with this hay
will be better for him. and will be more
profitable for the owner than the use OF
hay alone.-Horse World.

Why Chinese Pirates Welcome the Intro
 ductIon of the Guiiiotine.
 It is said that the guillotine has re- gently been introduced by the French into their colony of Tonquin. The French, as all the world is aware, have had, and still have, plenty of work to do in the way of extcrminating piracy in that vast and as yet unremunerative possession. And the method by which they endeavor to exterminate the pirate lwhen they catch him, which, as rule, they do not is that of decapitation. That ceremony, according to the Lon don Globe, has hitherto been performed in the primitive and rather barbarous native way The culprit, being placed in convenient position, used to light a cigarette and wait for the executioner to take shot at his neck with big sword. Sometimes the headsman aimed straight and sometimes he did not, and a feeling had long existed among the gentlemen of the piratical profession that an execution thus executed was distinctly an unpleasant process for the patient. Consequently the introduction of the wood of justice" has by no means produced the effect which the French authorities desired and ex- pected. Instead of being impressed with the horror of this mode of execu- ton, the natives of Tonquin are said to be highly delighted with it. In fact, they regard the guillitine as most in- genious article de Paris, and they have already witnessed one execution with every demonstration of enthusiasm. Dying, they say, is made so delightful ly easy by this admirable invention of the superior European intelligence. The result is that considerable satis- faction is expressed in piratical circles, and it is confidently anticipated that piracy will shortly increase very con sidcrably, as nobody in Ionquin would mind being abbreviated instantaneous

 The house dog was shaved, combed and washed. He was sometimes tinted with henna, as if he were woman. He wore fine collars on his neck, fur nished sometimes with an earthenware clasp in the shape of a bell or flower. Children played with him, became at tached to him, and the hero of one story, to whom his father had predicted at his birth that he would die of the bite of a dog, willingly confronted the threatening danger rather than be separated from the dog he had raised. He, of course, had name to which he answered--Sitoga, the ferreter; Khaoubsen, the lamp or star; Soubon, the strong, and Nahsi, the black.
 He is seen with kings as well as with common persons. Rameses II. during the earlier years of his reign was al- ways escorted by female dog, which was called AnaitiennalStou, or Brave as the Goddess Anaitis." petty king of the eleventh dynasty, about 3300 B. C., had five dogs, which he so loved that he carved their names and engraved their portraits on his tomb. They were, in- deed, blooded animals, whose names re- vealed their foreign origin. The finest of them was called Abikarou, faithful transcription of the word abaikour, by which the hunting dog is designated in many of the Berber districts.

The vandal woodcutters in the Cali fornia sequoia forests used to cut the trees at distance of from dozen to twenty feet above the ground in order to avoid the gnarled and lxnotted base. But it has lately been found that these stumps are as valuable as the straight wood. The gnarls present most beau tiful lgurings and the wood is sawn into thin sheets and used for interior decorations. Now, these stumps are be- ing dug out, and soon not even a yes tige will remain to show what was the appearance of some of the most majes- tic natural monuments of this wonder ful continent.

MORE FRED GOLD ON HAND.
The Sub-Tress ssury at New York Not tc
Refuse to Pay Out.

WASHINGTON. April 19.-Secrstary Car
Isle stated this afternoon that he had
$l,176,0OO free gold in the United States
treasury. This was obtained yesterday and
to-day, principally from the west, ia ex-
change for small notes and relieves the
tension, at least for the present. Secretary
Carlisle declined to discuss tho present
situation or the possibilities or probabilities
OF his future action.
To-day at tho treasury It was emphatic
ally denied that any order hes yet been ia
sued TO stop the redemption in gold of
treasury notes OF 1890, aud the statement
was made that absolutely nothing would be
done until the emergency arrived. If any
action hes been taken it is probably in the
form Of letter OF warning of a personal
character to the assistant treasurer in New
York, informing him what the policy Of
the treasury will be in case the free gold
entirely disappears, but which might
be used as an order If necessary.
The issuance of bonds would probably be
the last method that the secretary would
turn TO If crisis should arrive. The policy
OF the department would likely be, first, the
stopping of gold payment on treasury notes;
second, the use to a certain extent OF the
gold reserve, and, finally, the bond issue,
IL this last course was finally reached 1t is

The Ninth Annual Report Of the Com
mission Com Dleted.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The ninth an
nual report OF the civil service commission
was issued to-day. The commissioners urge
that the classified service should be extended
as rapidly as practicable to cover every
position in the public service to which it
can appropriately be applied as, for in
stance, to clerks aud writer's in the navy
yards, to almost the entire body of officials
in the District of Columbia, to the Internal
revenue service and custom houses with
twenty-five employees.
They earnestly desire that some such bin
as that introduced in the last congress, to
take the fourth-clsss postmGsters out of
politics, may become a law.
The report continues: ultimately the
system of promotions in the departments
must come under the immediate supervise on
Of the commission IN order to secure uni
formity and tho best results. Very serious
harm. in our judgment, results from allow
ing the chlofs Of divisions TO be excepted
from examination and we think that they
could be put under the general rule aud be

The report shows very surprising growth
of the number of employees compared with
the growth of toe population. The percant-
age of growth Of the public service in ten
years has been nearly dou le that OF popula-
tion. The scr vice classified for examination
