The horse from this cause refuses
his food, since mastieation causes
him severe pain. He drives side

cases the tooth rasp becomes neces-

corners of the teeth are easily taken
of and the horse is enabled TO feed
again in a proper manner. If the
teeth are in this condition no nsdi-
cine is of any avail The veterinary
dentist must be called and the tooth
rasp is the only remedy that will
prove of any service.

Ireland,s Sacred Oak.

In years gone by Ireland had a
sacred oak dedicated to St. Column
ban, one of the peculiarities of the
tree being that whoever carried a
small bit of the wood or bark in his
mouth would never meet with a vio-
lent death, it being especially effica-
cieus in saving Christian martyrs
from the block, It was shown
throughout the British Isles as the
Holy Oak OF Kenmare. After the
lapse of many centuries othis sacred
oak was uprooted by storm, after
which it was said to be guarded by
angels TO keep heretics from gather
ing the wood for fuel At last

largest limbs and tanned some

enough to make him aniincurable

The Bite of a Hog.

It is a serious thing to be bitten
by any domestic animal, and the
danger is probably greater when Bit
ten by a hog than by any other.
This is not because there is an active,
poisonous gland with hollow tooth
through which the poison is pressed.
That IS the way rattlesnake bites.
or rather stings. The danger from
the bite of a hog may be as great as
from a rattlesnake, but it is the dan
gor from blood poisoning caused by
carrying on the tushes of the hog
some poisonous saliva with which
it's mouth is filed. We call this
saliva poisonous because the hog is
an indiscriminate feeder, and not
careful about getting articles of dirt
or even OF excrement of other ami
mails with it's food 1t is poisonous,
just as are the scratches from finger
nails, which always leave an infamed
sore, hard to be healed in proper
ton to it's abrasion of the skin.
This is because with each scratch of
the nail some of the dirt that always
gathers under it is brought into con-
tact with the blood. A cut with a
clean knife heals more quickly, es-
pecially if treated at once with some
antiseptic and the air is carefully
excluded. American Cultivation.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.


Little thinkers are big talkera
If you would discover poverty, try
to borrow money.
We forget the sunlight when we
notice the shadow.
A bad man is controlled by his fears;
a good man by his love.
When people get rich how soon
they forget how to give.
If we would look for more to love
we would see less to hate.
1t is hard to convince q dySpeptis
that the world is growing better.
The more we do to help others the
lighter our burdens will become.
A lie is always several shades
blacker than the sin It tries to hide.
Nobody needs your prayers any
more than the people you do net like.
