Water Your Horses Often.

Our Dumb Animals.
Feeding a horse principally on
grain and driving it five hours
without water is like giving man
salt mackerel for dinner and not
allowing him to drink before sup
per time-very unsatisfactory for
the man. If you know anything
about the care of horses and have
any sympathy for them, water
them as often as they want to
drink-once an hour if possible.
By doing this you will not only be
merciful to your animal, but you
will be a benefactor to yourself, as
they will do more work, look better,
and live longer. If you are a
skeptic and know more about
horses than any one else, you are
positive that the foregoing is
wrong, because you have had
horses die with watering them too
much, ard boldly say that the agi-
tators of frequent watering are
fools in your estimation, and you
would not do such a thing. Just
reason for a moment and figure
out whether the animal would have
overdrunk and overchilled his
stomach if it had not been allowed
to become overthirsty.
A driver who sits in his wagon
and lashes his worn out, half-cur-
ried, half.fed, and half-watered
team deserves to be punished as a
criminal.

Mustafa Bey. formerly private phy- sician to the Sultan of Morocco. has written an article for a German period ical on the gradual emancipation of Egyptian princesses from Oriental cus- toms, Mohammedan prejudices having yielded to European influences in Egypt more promptly than in any other east ern country. The Egyptian princesses began to wear Parisian costumes more than thirty years ago. and close wells so transparent that the features were no longer concealed. At Il later period they made Q mutual agreement to in- sist on their marriage that their hus- bands could have no other wife. The late Khedive had only one wife and the present one is still unmarried. More re- gently a young princess who was un- happily married to a pasha three times her age succeeded In getting a divorce and married her physician.

Louis Gathmann. a Chicago astrono- mer, believes he has discovered vegeta- tlon on the moon. In looking at the moon through his telescope the other night he saw a spot of vivid green. "The spot" he says, twas shaped much like a spool. lying in an easterly and westerly direction. and was. estimat- ed, about forty by seventy miles in ex- tent, or about four times the size of Tycho. made no accurate calcula- tions of either its size or its exact posi- tion on the lunar surface that evening. and the next night when I attempted more elaborate investigation, it had disappeared. I have not seen 1t since. To my mind the green spot could have been caused by nothing but vegetation in perfection of development-perha grass, perhaps forests. That 1t has not since been seen may be due to causes unknown on earth, but theoret- ically quite familiar to the moon."

4 NICE SCHOOL.


 There are many nice things In Boston. and one of the incest is the Prince pub lie school on Exeter street. in the fash ionable Back Bay district. Of its i've hundred pupils only twenty-five or thlr- ty are Of foreign birth, and those are the children of the coachmen ana other servants of wealthy families in the neighborhood. How are these ehil- dren of the humble regarded by the children of the rich? How do the ehii- dren of the master treat tho children of the servant" the principal was asked the other day. Absolutely upon an equality" he answered. Neither l nor any of my assistants have ever ho- tIced any disposition upon the part or the children of the rich to ignore. boy colt or snub the children of the humble, Of course there will be little neighbor- hood coteries. but even these are not carried to m offensive extent We have absolutely no trouble from this source" "The children of the Prince school are true Americans. then?" "In the best sense. yes. I think that is the way to express so gratifying condition of affairs. There Is no snobbery here" When the school was started the par ents made a request that only one con- tlnuous session. from nine to two o'clock, should be held. AS the princi- pal explains. many of the families have dinner at four, or at about that time. and they desire to have their chil- dren present. Then there are music lessons in very many cases. which must be provided for" The request was granted, and the children. 1t would seem, have lost nothing by the reduc- ton of the hours of attendance, larger percentage of pupils being graduated at the Prince school than at any other school in the city. Corporal punish HlcHI lo never TtSoTlSu tO. II was thought at the outset" said the princl- pal. that intelligent children can be managed without whipping. The re- suit has justified the belief We have no occasion to whip a pupil. If one is unruly we punish by demerit marks, and in extreme cases by reporting to the parents. We always find the par ents ready to cooperate with us in en- forcing obedience, and if whipping is absolutely necessary the parent infiicts it, not the teacher. I believe that to be the true method, and it has always worked we'll in the Prince school" In the matter of scholarship the children of the poor hold their own, or, as the principal puts it, "the child of the em- ployer and that of the employe stand together"
 What pity we haven't such a school in New Haven. Here all the public schools are very much mixed.

UNCLE SAM'S GRE4TSNAKES.
Live and. Dead Specimens of Poisonous and Harmless Reptiles, Lizards, Toads.

Live ana Deau specimens or HO1SOnOuS and Harmless Reptiles, Lizards, loads.
 tFrom the New York World.l
 There are in the world five great collections of snakes. One of them is in Washington, the property of Uncle Sam. The others are in London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna, all of them belong ing to governments. Uncle Sam's snakes are hidden from public view in an out-of-the-way corner of the Nation al museum. The are under the care of Dr. Leonhard Stejnegar. who is known everywhere as an expert in rep tiles.
 You do not admire snakes, I SUD- pose?" said Dr. Stejnegar to a World reporter, as he sat in his workroom, surrounded by reptilian specimens in bottles of alcohol. "Well, it is all a matter of taste. There was Professor Baird, formerly secretary of the Smith sonian institution. He swallowed the poisonous glands of rattlesnake one day just to make sure the venom was harmless when taken internally. The experiment was a risky one; l would have advised him against it. At all events 1t is well that he did not try the poison glands of a cobra.
 You see," continued the doctor, gent a1rt,, t,l av.rr he 1< harmless living snake, to give the creature pleasure, "the poisons are diff ferent. Each of them contains two dis tinct active principles, one of which produces local symptoms in case of the bite, while the other has a ten dency to paralyze the nerve centers of the victim. The latter preponderates in the cobra venom. A wound made by the tooth of that species of serpent is a mere puncture and causes little swel. ling. The person bitten is killed by pa ralysis of the nerve centers.
 | "The danger of the rattlesnake bite on the other hand, is from modification of the injured part, which may proceed so far that the flesh actually putrefies Cobra poison in it's natural state Is one of those fluids which are able to pass through membranes. If swallowed il would be apt to go through the walls of the alimentary tract and get into the circulation in that way"
 Kicking out of the way two large land turtles which were promenadine across the floor, Dr. Stejnegar called at. tention to the thousands of serpents and other reptiles oh the shelves. Sai6 he: H.
 "Of course, this collection is fal ahead of all others In respect to tht snakes of North America. Where ldt the specimens come from? We'll, they are contributed mostly by private in dtviduals; people send them iron everywhere. We obtain a good man! by exchange with scientific institution abroad.
 Here is jarful of reptiles of variou kinds, including lizards and batrach ians, forwarded from Africa by yopnl Astor Chanler, the explorer. Not fey specimens come to us through the de partment of agriculture. Any govern ment expedition issfaikely to furnisl some." %sAa N s5

COMPLIMENTS ACKNOWLEDGED,

We notice that some of our genial friends and also some of the genial friends of General S. E. Merwin are paying us the compliment of attributing to us his defeat, and they are showing their appreciation of our alleged in fluence by showering upon us tokens of their esteem in the shape of bricks and several kinds of garbage. Their method of flattery is a little lacking in grace and tact, but we know better than to look gift horses or gift asses in the mouth, and so we will accept their compliments in the spirit in which they are given. We thank them one and all for their kindly interest in us, and we assure them that 1t will not be for gotten. It is a. proud moment in a career which has not been marked by many such proud moments, and we feel that the Iabors which have called out so many and such generous trib- utes have not been wholly in vain Modesty forbids us to deny or admit the allegation that we defeated General Merwin, but we shall garner the con- plimentary bricks and garbage and place them in our collection of concrete applause against 8 time when it may please the same genial friends to charge us with not having any influ- ence. We can then trot them out as evidences of past appreciation, be- slowed upon us in the large and gener- ous sincerity of disappointed rage But we must mitigate their signifi- canoe now by suggesting that possibly General Merwin's defeat may as fairly be ascribed to his own influence and the influence of his most trusted and prominent friends as to our potency. The gem of the tributes is the in- situation that we are of such impor- tance that we are frequently sought by those who wish to subsidize us, and that people who know what things are worth are willing to exchange their good dollars for our help. This compliment Is far beyond our merits, Buyers of public opinion do not flock to our door. We recall only one attempt to subsidize us in the whole course of our career. This attempt was made by a former candidate for public office who does not live a thousand miles from New Haven. We wrote that gentle man a note In which we briefly but lucidly expressed our views of that sort of thing. If he still has that note among his political archives and will
 be so kind as to loan it to us we shall
 take pleasure in publishing it. It will
 be especially interesting as he appears
 to have some interest in the compli-
 mentary vote which our genial friends
 are giving us.
 l We hope we shall not be accused of
 being too greedy for favor if we look
 upon a remark in General Merwin's
 card as intended especially for US. He genially says that a newspaper with a l gentleman for it's editor is a blessing to the community. We hide our blushes while we reciprocally remark that a candidate for public office who does not misconstrue the motives of those who honestly and openly oppose him is also blessing to the community.
