SHE KNEW HIM.

For one / would escape from the city
and live in a tent for years rather than
yield to a compulsory vaccination.
But let us return to Fillay. arrived
in time to find her alive and still hope
ful. She knew me and tried to bite me,
but was too weak.
A neighbor told me that enlargement
of the tonsils was what was carrying
off our Fillay de Bif. got sympathetic
friends to help me open her clinohed
teeth, and then 1 held down her tongue
with fire shovel while l peered down
the long vista. 1t was some time before
l could get her to say "Ah" SO that /
might see her throat, but at last got
fiseting view of it by candlelight.
You can often relieve this sort of in
flammation by administering powder,
1.-THE Cow Physician" says, volume /.
This powder contains potash and other
groceries Of a searching and purifying
character. It cannot be administered,
however, to cow or other dumb brute
in the ordinary way or as a gargle, for q
COW knows comparatively nothing at all
about handling a gargle that has no
string to it.
So you have to blow the powder into
her throat by means Of a hollow tube or
tin horn. / prepared the powder and
then secured the handle Of an old tin
dipper about IA inches in length. was
willing to make most any sacrifice rath-
er than see our favorite pass on to spirit
life.
Loving hands pried open the set jaws
of Fillay, and stood near with infiat-
ed lungs and dipper handle full of
powdered borax, alum, lime, cement,
potash, snuff, saleratus and "rozzum."
As her jaws stood ajar for brief moment
improved the opportunity and blew
down her throat about nine ounces of
stuff, but / did not dream that she
would retaliate before l could remove
the tin dipper handle.
The powder tickled her pharynx, or
whatever it is, and also irritated the
epislottis SO that instantly heard
cough like that Of geyser, and before
could calculate the remark Scat ~ my
chest measurement was 1873 inches, and
every air cell under my vest contained
some Of that powder. l never felt more
chagrined perhaps in my life. Fillay de
Biff began at once TO mend, but have
tonsilitis enough for founding asy lum,
and my lungs have been stretched so
that when / am indoors no one else can
get air enough to breathe. / have TO
spend the day out Of doors, and at night

whittier people often come from a dis
tanoe to see me breathe.
When q COW who has never reduced
her chest measurement by lacing or in
any way changed her natural figure by
artificial means suddenly decides TO
cough, the wise and thoughtful husband
man will do well to step aside ill the
danger is past. A COW does not cough
merely TO kill time, or to give herself
chance to think of a reply, or to attract
attention. She coughs because it is alb
solutely unavoidable and spontaneous.
She does not do il 10 excite sympathy
and get a summer at the seaside. She

should wish TO administer powder TO
the swollen throat of a full chested cow,
would suggest blowing it in by means
of a pair of hand bellows that will not
