Grafton, but it is none the less fact
tbnt out in pretty pastoral region
OF New Jersey several women have
lately endured the anguish of nervous
prostration, and revived only to find
their distressing ailment has attacked
both carriage and farm horses. The
symptoms of nervous collapse are "a
easily recognized and work pretty
much IN the same way on equine as on
feminine systems.

the animal down TO the village veter-
iualy, and nearly tainted away when
that scientist pronounced the trouble
rs an aggravated case of nervous pros
tration, fit only for the rest cure.
Since then the veterinary has been
called upon to prescribe for numbers
of similar cases in the same town, aud
by way of treatment even the harness
and halter are considered too great
weight for the suffering animal to
bear.

are gradually recuperatiny. One little
mCre, however, was found in such n
state OF nervous exhaustion that no
treatment would serve to pull up her
strength, so the veterinary, who is
specialist IN nerves, decided that she
was suffering from nostalgia. His di-
aguosis proved correct, for on return

One of the most interesting cases OF
physical disability" of an officer of
the army-the more interesting because
1t has aroused SO much comment
among officers of the army itsclf-is
that of Second Lieutcndant III. MICA.
Schoheld, Il son of Lieut.. General Scho-
field. He recently appeared before an
examining board in san Francisco for
promotion, and the medical board re-
fused to pass him upon the ground of
defective hearing. Then came the
question whether or not his dca fncss
constituted 'incapaCity to perform
duty" In his present rank. The next
step was to examine the records of his
first examination, upon his original
entry into the service, to learn whether
or not deafness was then observed;
but they were found to be clear on this
point On the other hand. some officers
have said that Lieut.. Schoficld was
slightly deaf before he entered the ser
vice, ana If this fact is proved com.
plicatioL may arise which will not only
affect the military status of Lieut.
Schofeld but also the officers on his
first board. If it is FOUND that the
disability originated i'm the line of duty
then he will be entitled to be retired
with the rank of First Lieutenant.

VOW TO GROW AQUATIC rrAvrs,


The cultivation of nouatic plapts in
tubs makes it possible for any one to
try his skill with them. or course, he
need not expect to be able to grow the
rare sorts of nymphea, hut he can
succeed with many beautiful varieties
OF water lily and other plants of that
class. a half barrel is not very at
tractive in itself, but its luck of beauty
may be concealed by plants, or it may
be sunk its depth in the earth. When
IL contains fine specimen of some
aquatic plant we will forget all about
It's lack CT grace. When preparing for
these plants put in rich black mud
from the bed Of streams, or muck from
swamps, to the depth OF foot, then
plant your roots in it and fill with
water. Add enough water from time
to time to make up for that which j.
lost by evaporation, and give the tub
a sunny place in the yard or garden.
ii you want to grow more plants than
one tub viii Accommodate it is a GOOD
plan to take four, five, half a dozen.
or as many as you may decide on, and
have them sunk in the ground close TO-
gether so that the general effect will
be something like that which Iarge
tank would give. A better plnn.
though more expensive one to carr
out, Is to have n tank constructed of
heavy planks. These should be eecurc-
~ boited at the ends, and the Joints
made tight by white lead in the

THE uoU ;EHoLD AND rnE DUST rAy.

THE HoU SEHOLD AND TIE DUST PAN.
To those who know the true inward.
ness OF things the sight OF housemaid
brushing dusty carpet is suggestive
of many evils, says the British Medi-
cal Journal. The death of Pasteur
has reminded the world of what is con
stantly present in the thoughts OF
medical men, namely, that while micro.
organisms are the great producers OF
disease, dust is the great carrier OF
micro organisms. Now that we know
these things, it Is distressing to find how
little our knowledge is put to pracn-
cal use, and to see old customs still
unchanged, old habits which we know
to be destructive carried on, and to
find the housemaid oil her knees, with
her brush and dustpan, stirring up
dust to the detriment of every one and
breathing germ laden particles to her
own destruction. 1t needs but small
amount of common sense to see thai
II carpets must continue, IL thing
greatly to be deprecated, they should
be rubbed with n damp cloth rather
than brushed, an / that If, III Differences
to prejudice, they must be brushed,
this should be done by covered
American sweeper with plenty of damp
tea leaves. OF all ways OF removing
dirt from carpet the worst is by the
use of the ordinary short brush, which
involves the housemaid kneeling down
in the midst OF the dust which she so
needlessly creates, and drawing it into
her lungs with every breath. For or
binary household use something like
lino!eum, something which can bo
washed with wet cloth every morn
ing, would seem to be the best cover.
ing for floors but If carpets must. be,
and it is impossible to teach the present
generation the evils of seeking present
comfort at the expense of future risks,
at least let us remember that carpets
may be washed even where they lie A;
that till the day of washing comes, n
closed sweeper is far better than q
brush, and that the worst form OF
brush is one with a short handle.

fruits. The latter when ripe are
packed in layers of borax and sent
thousands OF miles TO arrive in perfect
