Some interesting facts have been dis
covered by a JOINT committee Of the
house and senate, Investigating the de
partments at Washington with q view
to reforming and improving the service

500 employees who have relatives

ment. Five officials have each eight
relatives on the pay roll, four have seven,
ten have six, twenty-s,x have five,
ninety-six have four, 279 have three,

comforts Of the service. Another
family composed Of husband, wife, sister

far the most gigantic peace undertaking
in many years. As the work progressed
the scope Of the enterprise widened and
the vastness of the completed fair far
exceeded the most sanguine expecta-

steps never dreamed Of such glorious
development. Experience in worlds

The achievements Of the Christian
era were condensed in jackson park,

casual observer who saw, even though

foreigners was more wonderful than to
our W people. Older nations have

the cold storage building a few weeks

A STORY OF TWO KENTU,KICANS.

a rather pointed story is told of
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky,
and the late Senator Beck, which is
given in The Editors Drawer" of
Harper's Magazine. Upon one
occasion it was necessary to test
some old bourbon whisky before
shipping the Simon pure to a fas-
tidious customer. The anxious
dealer bethought him of these two
great men, who were universally
admitted to be connoisseurs in the
the article, and begged their indul-
genCe in the matter of tasting the
liquor. Blackburn swallowed a
sip, smacked his lips, looked a lit
tie bit critical, tried it again and

souls of these children which were
not allowed to come to earth

quite recently l read a most remark
able book by Florence Marryat,
the well-known author and daugh-

this belief. This lady inherited
from her father a clairvoyant or
mediumistic gift, which enables
her at times to see and speak with
forms invisible to all eyes, but
which many of the most intelligent
minds of this age believe exist in
space.
During one of these times this
lady states that she beheld and

COLOR AND SOUND.

A correspondent in London Notes
and Queries says: almost from
childhood l have been in the habit
of associating the vowel sounds i'll a
word with color. In the course of
a somewhat long life I never met
more than one person Ga woman)
who was possessed of a similar
craze, as l considered it, and in her
case only two of the novels, a and o,
were supposed to have color. In
my own case each vowel has its
distinctive color: a is very white,
is light blue, is red, black and u
brown. When l hear a name l
remember its color, although l may
not remember the name itself, and
thus l sometimes give a wrong
name, although of the same color
e. g. Mr.. Cook instead of Mr..
Wood. To my mind Abraham is
a very white woru, need is light
blue, iniquity is as red as if printed
in red ink, bore is black, and
useful is brown"

FUTURE OF THE HUMAN MIND.
TFrom the Boston Advertiser ]

rom the Boston AuN CRUISER ]
Prof. Drummond continued his
lecture on the Evolution Of Man"
before a large audience in Hunting
ton Hall last evening. He said III
part:
Tonight we pass from the dis
cussion of the animal mind to that
of the human mind. Mans brains
have passed the critical point. How
that change was brought about re-
mains unanswered. If evolution is
the natural course of advance the
suddenness of the change of intelli-
gence is no surprise. There must
be some power of communication.
"1t is not surprising that some
means exist between animals of
communication. The fact they
exist together proves this. Every
one has noticed that ants stop to
greet one another when they meet.
One species of monkey utters six
different sounds to express the
consciousness of the presence of
danger. The deer uses three dife-
rent sounds to express the same
idea. If man was placed back in
the condition Of the primitive ages
he would use a similar method of
expression.
"One should never look for sur
prises at the beginning ofevolution
but at the end. Turning to man
we may expect to see this same rule
adapted to his conditions. Power
was all original faculty of man.
Language is clearly a matter of
initiating sounds. Man, then, has
carried The matter to perfection.
Language is full of sound words.
AS man gained more knowledge of
things around him so his vocabulary
of sound words increased. The
evolution Of the l., -uage is still
going on. We are constantly ex-
changing language. The English
have given to the Americans and
Americans have given to the Eng
lish.
TRY to think of beginning life
again and not have the privilege of
learning from the experience of
Others and tlel you will see the
condition Of the lower animals We
have all probably invented words.
After evolution comes more evolu
ton. After man becomes capable
oteXpreSSing what he knows, then
comes the desire to increase that
capacity; as mans mind took him
more into the world then his capa-
city OF expression grew greater.
The next stage of evolution is
that of the mind. What now DELAYS
this change is that the instrument
is not Yet fully evolved. After all
that evolution has given US, we can
not expect that it will cease to
bring about far greater results in
the future"

DISEASE nF THE FRnG-

The deep parts of the foot under the
frog in the horses are subject to severe
conclusion at times, especially on
rough, stony roads. These blows cause
lameness, due to Inflammation of the
vascular substance and the lamina
which connect the horn with the in
terror parts. As these are closely CON
nected with the loose bone of the foot,
known as the navicular bone, the ten
derness is extreme, and the horse goes
lame and tries to walk ON the toe to
ease the pain of movement and pres
sure on the inhamed tissue. This soon
begins to throw off pus, which, having
no escape, increases the trouble and
induces decomposition of the tissue
first and then of the horn This pus
finally escapes at the frog andis recog-
nized by its fetid odor as coming from
the horn. The remedy for it is to open
passage for the free escape of the
pms, and inject a quantity of solution
of bichloride of mercury, one grain to
an ounce Of water. The foot should
be poulticed from the pastern to the
sole, and the horse should rest until
recovery. The best means avoiding
this trouble is to leave the frog as
nature made it, an elastic fibrous sub
stance intended to protect the sole and
the tender interior of the foot from
blows and bruises. The pressure of
this elastic cushion is natures way of
producing the necessary action of the
tendons and tissues to preserve &
healthful condition and to keep up the
growth of the horn. 1t is a rule of
nature that any part of an animals
structure that is made to fall into dis
use becomes atrophied, or shrunken,
and loses its characteristic functional
ability, and it might as well be dead so
far as there is any use for it. Thus to
keep the frog in healthful action il
should always touch the ground and
receive the weight of the horse. Cut
ting it and pairing it down to make the
bottom of the foot hollow and saucer
shaped is the best way to make it use
less and spoil the horse New York
Times.
