Horses In Somerset. :

Secretary McKeen of the Maine
Board of Agriculture publishes the follow
ing in his Bulletin Mo- as received from
Somerset County Correspondents. relative
to raising horses
Anson-The horse industry Of the State
is yet. and will always be, of Importance.
The horse has always beea the iayorite
domestic animal of man, and future pros
pect for good fair paying prices IS predict
ed by those well versed in horse markets
of the country. tits safe to raise good. siz-
ed driving horse, if it possesses the right
speed and action, or heavy work horse,
if he has strength and form. In either
case it must be the best of its kind. Mar
gins for profit are small in every business
connected with farming. The cost of
production enters into the stock business
as much as into manufacturing. In some
of the old countries the farmer does his
work with colts from two to four years old
and sells as soon as matured, and will
bring the highest price. Cannot this
method be put in force here to advantage,
rather than to feed the produces of our
labor to old horses that are growing of
less value every year, This question of
economy of feed is as important as econo-
my of breed, and taking the two together
think it a subject for a volume, rather
than an item for report, butat all hazards
the farmer must raise the colt, or the cost
will exceed the market price.

STRANGE SEA MONSTERS.


Tho Sting Ray and the Sea Lizard Arc
Queer Customers.
The sting ray, Il member of the skate
family, is Il dangerous inhabitant of
Florida waters. The largest specimens
of tho kind, weighing from 400 to 500
pounds, live at great depths and are
seldom found inshore but rays from 80
to 40 pounds are often encountered near
the land, and natives consider them to
be fully as dangerous as the octopus or
the much dreaded blue shark
The fish is large, broad, flat bellied
creature, with eyes of Il golden tint "a
sharp, spearlike appendage at the end
of the back and "a long, slender tail that
reminds one much of blacksnalle whip.
This whip tail serves as ii lariat with
which an enemy may first be lassocd,
and then the barbed spine finishes the
work by laceranng the victim i'll u

villainous creature from any point of
view and has no friends in this or any
other latitude.
In the Atlantic ocean between the
shores of the Bahama islands and the
Florida coast there lives "a strange crea-
ture known as the glaucus, or sea lizard.
1t is seldom if ever found near the
land, but seems to prefer deep water and

of local note, began to teach them short
and simple songs They were apt and
learned rapidly. In addition they caught
the popular airs that ware sung and
whistled by street gamins, who never
passed the house without stopping and
singing to the parrots.
1t was not long before the two birds
could carry an air with perfect ease, in

they sing in duet with the finesse of

stronger than one would imagine and
possess volume and sweetness. With all
their accomplishments, however, Henry
and Polly are like all parrots-they
will never sing or talk when you are
most anxious to hear them; you must
await their pleasure and convenience.
But for this pcryersion of their nature
Rassoni would have already made for
tune with them.
The writer sat in the lobby Of the
Pulaski house III Savannah and heard
the parrots sing the famous piece, Say
Au Revoir, but Not Goodhy. Others
heard. All endeavored to locate the
music. Finally one asked the hotel clerk
who Were the singers. He replied they
were parrots and pointed toward the
closed glass door of Uhle's cigar store
adjoining the lobby. All gathered about
the door in wouderment, but the birds
stopped singing We left the door and
they resumed the same piece and sang
it through beautifully and in perfect
time and accord. Polly took the high
notes with remarkable ease. Then they
sang "Suwanee River" and popular
ditties of the day. No one was i'll the
store at the time, and Henry and Polly
gave concert that was as remarkable
as it was unique and enjoyable,

BLEEDING TO DEATH.

Time was when doctors resorted to
bleeding and cupping as a cure for all
diseases. They we're correct in supposing
that in disease the blood is impure but
they were not correct in supposing that to
let out the blood would remove the
disease, as that method would only cure
the disease at the expense of life.
We now know that the best way is to
purify the blood. and SO enable the bloc /
to do its work as intended by nature. The
mineral water, Ypsllanti Specific, is the
greatest blood purifier known, 1t is natures
own true remedy and should be in every
house. If your dealer does not supply you
with this water, write to the Yrs1LANTI
SPECIFIC Co, at Io4 BROAD ST Boston,

GLAD TIDINGS .OF CERTAIN ARD LASTING RELIEF
 ID YOUNG MEN,

It cannot be to well known that more than one-half the diseases are brought on by disobedienee to the laws of nature, by imprndence ind excess. and more especially by those demoralizing and debasing habits of youth praetIced in ignorance of the evil consequences and terrible results that surely follow sooner or latter in life. There are thousands of young men in our midst who suffer in some way from the result, and yet go on shining till they become unfit for the duties of life-with manly powers impaired or lost, and q constitution undermined and breaking down with some chronic. nervous or Or4anis disease. Nervous Debility may arise from other causes than carly indis- cretiOns; for instance, sedentarY occupation, excessive mental OF physical work, malarious influence, indulgence, irritated condition of the system or aplOss of seminal fluid at night.
