Shout In tho Animals Ear.

Apropos of tho recent remarks OF.
the question Of assisting fallen
horses on to their legs, one of my
readers mentions the old plan of
suddenly shouting in the PROSTATE
animals ear, the shouter having
first placed himself out of reach of
the animals legs. This plan is, no
doubt, very efioacious in the case
of a %quadruped that can get up and
won't, but I fear that it would be OF
little service to the poor beast that
wants to get up, but can't.
A Hungarian correspondent also
tells me that in this country drivers
assist the horse by putting unde,
him the rug with which they cover
him when standing still. I have seen
the same expedient resorted to here,
but a man can often only put a rug
under a fallen horse at the risk OF
getting his brains kicked out, anG
when the rug is adjusted it otter
gives little or no foothold on q slip

a young junior company officer,
who had but recently joined the

tradition that this native fruit has a

HAVE THEY A TRUST?
Southern Iron Pipe Manufacturers Dr. dered to Appear in Court to An
 swer a Charge of Pooling.

Chattanooga, Tenn. Dec. 1.-The United States, by Judson Harman, att torney general, and District Attorney Bible, brought suit yesterday in the Unit ed States district court charging the fol- lowing well known cast iron pipe works with operating a trust and creating a monopoly of the business: Dennis Long & Co.,, of Louisville; Howard Harrison Co.,, Bessemer, Ala; Addistone Pipe and Steel Works, of Cincinnati; Anniston Pipe Works, Anniston, Ala. South Pitts- burg, (Tenn.) Pipe Works, and the Chat tanooga Pipe and Foundry company.
 The bill alleges that these concerns have conspired against competitive trade by inaugurating a pooling system by which that concern offering the highest bonus" to the others is allowed to fix the prices on all work within a certain territory, the others always overlooking in estimating the price for any given nus.
 Several instances are cited in which it is alleged this has been done. The bill prays for an order restraining these con- cerns from carrying out any contracts under this pooling arrangement. final dissolution of the trust and any other equity may suggest.
 Judge Clark issued the order and sum- moned the defendant concerns to an- swer. The affair has created somewhat of a sensation here the Chattanooga Pipe and Foundry Works being the largest concern of the kind in the country, and recently having erected an enormous new plant
