HORSES AND ELECTRICITY.

The animals Iron Shoes Make Them
Especially Susceptible.
The horse is easily killed by electric
ity It is popularity supposed that the
current, on entering the body, meets
with some physiological susceptibility
that makes this animal more vulner-
able than others to the action of such
current. The London Lancet holds
that there is no good ground for this
assumption. The explanation lies else
where. The hoof, and more particular
ly it's crust and sole, is a good lnsul-
ator, but the shoe presents to the
ground a large metallic contact, and
this contact is in connection with
metallic conductors in the shape of
nails which pierce the strongest
part of the insulation, and afford an
easy electrical path into the body. The
contact with earth is further i'm
proved by the great superintendent
weight of the animal, and it may often
happen that in passing over wet ground
the external surface Of the hoof and
the wet fetlock, especially in the case
of untrimmed horses, may become
sufficiently wet to form good surface
conductor, and so carry current di-
rectly from the earth to the upper part
of the body. In this way the safety OF
the natural ''resistapce" of the hoofs is
neutralized. A horse, too, covers more
ground than a man and runs greater
risk from being in contact with points
of ground further apart. Farriers
ought to consider the above well, so as
to induce them to bestow extra care
upon the driving of the nail, to SEE
that it does not penetrate to the

would take a step forward the clutches
would be brought into play, and prog
ress. instead of being torture, was
pleasure. In a few hours the crlpples
became familiar with the new order of
things and were able to hobble around
the ward at more rapid gait. Almost
any time during damp weather, when
the rheumatism is on, one can see half a
dozen turkeys on crutches at Capt
Bridges farm. They are learning some
new tricks of late, but so far are not
sufficiently expert to fly up and light
on the fence.

A GAMBLERS SUPERSTITION.

He Viewed with Horror the Proposition
to Burn a Deck of Cards.
They were playing quiet rubber OF
whist and had called for new deck OF
cards. One of the players was an OLD
timer, a card player of years OF expe-
rience, and he took up the old worn
out pack and put them on the window
sill.
Throw them in the fire." said the
young man who was his partner
"What!' said the elder, 'throw
mack of cards in the fire? Young man,
YOU don't know what you are talking
about. l wouldn't do it for one thou
sand dollars
"Why not?' 'Superstition," was the
answer. Burn a pack of cards and
thew will never give you another hand
and will mock you to the last. They
are bad enough at best, but you never
saw a gambler curse the cards or abuse
them. or burn them Or otherwise Ill
treat them. He doesn't dare to.
knew a successful card player who
did it. He was dwelling on velvet
then. In year he was beggar, and
he never won game worth mention
ing forever after. It's whim, but the
gentlemen of the cloth of green re
spect it, and they won't burn pack Of
cards"

TURKEYS ON CRUTCHES.
How a California Poultryman Cured His
Fowls of Rheumatic Troubles.

How California Poultryman Cured His
Fowls of Rheumatic Troubles.
Capt. Bridge, of Shasta county, Cal,
who has an extensive reputation in
that district as cultivator of
high-class poultry, has developed a
very philanthropic spirit toward his
wards. Recently he noticed a peculiar
disease spreading among the turkeys.
It exhibited itself by gradual swell
ing in the legs from the thigh,
or time honored and much respected
drum stick so.popular among young
sters about Thanksgiving time. 1t
spread down the legs and in few days
the turkey unfortunate enough to be
afflicted was unable to walk with that
proud and naughty step so frequently
employed by this royal bird. The cap
tain found that by regular hot water
applications the swelling could be re-
duced, but this manner of treating
was so slow, says the San Francisco
Call, that the patient was compelled
to lead a life of idleness, much to
his disgust. At times the captain
would have several of his latest
birds in the hospital, and it required
almost all his attention to give them
the hot water treatment. This state
of affairs went on for some time,
when finally he was inspired to in
troduce a little Yankee ingenuity
into the flock, and being rather handy
with his pocketknife he fashioned a
crude pair Of crutehes about seven

He Knew the Game.

The following little comedy was per-
formed in the Tombs police court in
New York city recently: ''Now, sir"
said the police justice to witness,
..what is your name?' The Witness
who was evidently from the very rural
districts, put on a look of extreme
cunning and drawled out: Il won't tell
you. know your game. You'll git

GRATITUDE OF 4 SQUAW.
Anxiety While Dying of an Indian Woman
to Fulfill Her Promise.

to Fulfill Her Promise
A woman on the West side whose
early predictions created prejudice
against Indians is now a friend of the
decaying race 1t came about in
pretty way, says the Chicago Times,
and the incident has also sorrowful
tinge. A Sioux Indian and his squaw,
whom the woman's husband had known
out west, were returning from Europe,
where they had been as attaches OF
Buffalo Bills Wild West When they
came to Chicago they stopped over a
day and hunted up the paleface whom
they had known out west. He hired
carriage and took them out to his
home, which surprised his wife not
little, and there they were entertained
at dinner The squaw spoke no Ian
guage but her own. Her man knew
enough English tomake himself under
stood Both were in their visiting col
ors. They didn't like the blue points
and oysters, but when the roast beef
(wo-haw) was brought on the eyes of
the squaw bulged out and she clapped
her hands. She devoured it slice by
slice and in manner calculated to
shock the wife of the paleface.
? After dinner the squaw sang for the
paleface woman and her papooses to
show her gratitude. Then, through
her man, she had the paleface woman
take off her shoes and stand on a sheet
of paper. The squaw took bit OF
pencil and drew the shape of the feet.
The squaw's man informed the pale
face woman that she would make and
send her pair Of split bead moccasins
from the tepee as soon as they
could be made. The Indians went
away that night, westward bound, and
months passed by. The West side wife
playfnlly chided her husband about
his lavish entertainment of the reds
and their mock gratitude. He said:
''Wait!'' In a year from the time of
she visit a package was delivered to the
house. 1t was opened and there were
the split bead moccasins made by the
squaw. There also was the informa-
tion that she had died about the time
the moccasins were completed.
In crude sort of way, but all the
more tender on account of its simple
ity, the Indian explained that his
squaw would have sent the moccasins
sooner, but she had been sick and he1
work had been delayed, and that she
was afraid she would not live to keeI
her word to the paleface woman wl1e
had entertained her with such good
wo-haw.
There were some tender words Spoken
in the home of the West side palefact
that night, and even now, when the
wife of the paleface tells the incident
there is slight formulation in the lip
and moisture about the eyes.

ORIGIN OF PNEUMATIC TIRES.
An Irish Doctor Invented Them to Pro.
serve His Sons Health.

An Irish Doctor Invented Them to Pre-.
serve His Sons Health.
Very few of the hundreds Of thou
sands of cyclists who now enjoy tho
pastime on an up-to-date safety shod
with pneumatic tires have an idea
from what a crude contrivance those
same air cushions on wheels have been
evolved. Pneumatic tires were invent
ed in 1889 by j. b. Dunlop, a horse doc
tor of Belfast, Ireland. He had a son
who rode tricycle., and who by his in
diligence had developed a nervous
trouble. The veterinary concluded
that the boys disorder was due solely
to the jolting of the wheels. and, plan
ming to do away with the objections,
so that the lad might continue his ex-
ercise, he hit upon the idea of putting
air cushions on the wheels
With only such material as he had at
hand for use in doctoring equine in
valids he set to work. Using broom
stick as a mandrel, he wrapped il
spirally with linen bandages- Next no
took some ru b Der sheets and solu tioned
them around the linen. The ends also

inserted . valve little better than q
plug. and. putting II on the wheels,
started his son away on the first pneu-
matte tires.
TWAS quickly found that the rough
and-ready style Of fabric would not
hold air, and SO an inner sheath Of
pure rubber was tried. The valve was
vulcanized TO this inner tube
In such way that in the
event Of any trouble with the
valve an entirely new air sheath
was the only remedy. Flat rims were
in use at the time, and the tires were
tasted to the rim by strip of muslin
which came out with the free edges
from the under side of the tires. These
ends were wrapped around the rim
and vulcanized to It The linen COM
pletely covered the rim, effectually |
concealing its material Tires such as /
these were used for couple Of years |

OF COURSE HORTON WANTS 1T.
There is No Doubt at Atchison that He is
i'm the Race,

Atchison. Kan, Nov. 27-Judge Hor-
toms Atchison law partner, B. P. wag-
gener. was quoted a few days ago as
saying that Horton would not be a can
didate for the United States senate.
Waggener now says that he was incor-
rectly quoted
What I did say" says Mr.. Waggener.
twas that I had been absent from the
state for several weeks and did not
know whether Judge Horton would or
would not be a candidate. While
have no knowledge on the subject. and
do not speak by authority. I would not
be surprised to hear that Judge Horton
was candidate. Why not? For more
than thirty-five years he has been a
conspicuous citizen Of the state and
one of the recognized leaders Of the
Republican party. For nearly eighteen
years he served the state in the capacitv
of chief justice at a salary of So 1000 per
annum. That the public service was
personal sacrifice no one will denv.
If Judge Horton should want the posi-
ton OF United States senator he is en-
titled to it: it should be given to him
without opposition. As United States
senator he could accomplish much good
for the state. His long service upon
the bench as Chief justice has given
him a national reputation and in the
United States senate he would not be an
unknown or uncertain quantity"

Melinda might not mistake the sender.
On ST. Valentines day, Mr.. POdd
arose somewhat later than usual, and
hurriedIy went down to breakfast,
forgetting the two missives lying upon
the table in his room.
While he was eating the maid-of-all-
work started on her cleaning tour, and
with the proverbial acuteness that
enables members of her illz to detect
anything save dirt or disorder, the two
forgotten valentines, in their white
wrappers, were the first things to at
tract her attention.
AS they had not been sealed, it was
but few seconds until she was mirth-
fully regarding the rival musicians Of
the one, and feasting her eyes upon
the prodiga1 collection of love tokens
contained in the other.
She had scarcely time, on hearing ap-
preaching footsteps, to return the val
entines to the wrappers, unconsciously
changing them in her haste, and take
up her broom with as innocent an ex-
preston as the occasion demanded,
when Mr.. Podd hurriedly entered,
picked up the envelopes, sealed them,
and thrust them into his pocket, to-
tally ignorant of the exchange which
had been made.
That evening after business Mr.. Podd
sought the nearest tonsorial artist, I'M
der whose especial care he placed him
self for the next half hour, then he
wendell his happy way to the abode of
his souls ideal.
Imagine the CONSERVATION of the
haplcss Mr.. Podd. who, on presenting
himself to the fair Miss Melinda, Sc
cure in the expectation of cordial
greeting nay, perhaps a tender one
found himself met with chilling scorn,
while that young lady dramatically
waved him hence.
''Begone! you villain she wrathfully
exclaimed, in true stage parlance, and
with another tragic wave of her hand.
'Why, Miss Melinda" began the as
founded Mr.. Podd.
Don't Miss Melinda me, you base
hypocrite, you'll" screamed the young
