Varied MatrimOny.

1t was the boast of Levi Rogers, who
died at Perry, o. r., the other day, that
he had been married seven times and
that each wife had been of a different
nationality. Rogers was born in Geor-

American girl, who died within six
months. After that he married six
times, his successive wives being Mex
lean, Bohemian, Indian, German, Gre
ole and finally very black negress
The latter survives him, and Rogers al
ways claimed that she was the best wife
of the whole collection.

Robert Lowe, was in the habit of say

day said to her somewhat patronizing-

finding there such great military dis
plays. "Ah, she replied, the people
of different countries do not understand

Cheerfulness In n Medicine.

Surprising recoveries occasionally
happen which can be ascribed to no 9th
er cause than cheerful state Of mind
which it diffuses through the frame. A
singular but instructive instance fell
under the observation of Sir Humphry
Davy, when, early in life, he was as
sisting DIR. Beddoes in his experiments
on the inhalation of nitrous oxide. DR..
Beddoes having inferred that the oxide
must be specific for palsy, a patient
was selected for trial and placed under
the care of Davy. Before administering
the gas Davy inserted a small Their
mometer under the tongue of the pa
tient to ascertain the temperature.
The paralytic man, wholly ignorant
of the process TO which he was to sub
NIT, but deeply impressed by DR.. Bed
does with the certainty of its success,
no sooner felt the thermometer between
his teeth than he concluded the tails
man was in operation, and, in burst
of enthusiasm, declared that he already
experienced the effects of its benign in
fuence throughout his whole body. The
opportunity was too tempting to be lost.
Davy did nothing more, but desired his
patient to return on the following day.
The same ceremony was repeated, and
the results followed, and at the end OF
a fortnight he was dismissed cured, nc

ROBERT BURNS.
The Poets First Love and the Verses In
Which He Praised Her.


Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, was
born at Mount Oliphant, Jan, 20, 1859,
near AYR, in clay built cottage, reared
by his fathers own hands. When lad
of IS, the family moved to Lochlea.
His first three or four years at Lochlea
were still with the poet times of inno-
cence, and "his conduct was governed
by the strictest rules of virtue and mod
esty." At last he set his affections on a
young woman named Ellison Begbie,
the daughter of small farmer, and
asked her to be his wife, but he could
not prevail on her to marry him, aud
this disappointment had malign inhu.
eEce over the poet. Long afterward,
when he had seen much OF the world,
Barns spoke Of this girl as, of all those
on whom he ever fixed his tickle affcc-
tions, the one most likely to have made a
pleasant partner for life. 1t was to her
he addressed the pure and beautiful love
lyric MARY Morison," and in these
lines the lyric genius of Burns was for
the first time undeniably revealed:

How to Give Medicine to Horses,
Cattle, Etc.

When a horse is to be drenchcd on
a halter the nose band of which is
wide enough to allow the mouth to be
opened to it's fullest extent. Now take
a moose, made of any small rope about
one foot long, put it into the mouth,
slip it over the upper jaw and by these
means elevate the head of the animal
sufficiently to prevent the medicine
from running out while being poured
into the mouth. Give the medicine
carefully and never through the nose,
as it is then liable to flow into the
windpipe Of the horse, thus often kill
ing it. Should the horse refuse to
swallow, a great deal of patience is re-
quired to drerch him properly never
strike or rub the throat or pull out
the tongue, as such proceedings have
a tendency to produce a cough, which
means that the animal will spit out
the medicine you wish him to swallow.
Animals which are stubborn and will
not swallow, are often induced to do
so by stroking the palate right behind
the upperfront teeth. In order to i've
the horse a pill or, as it is termed, a
ball, draw the tongue out gently with
the left hand and with the other hand
hold the pill by bringing the fingers
together to a point. Then let the
hand with the pill glide quickly along
the roof of the mouth until nearly half
the arm is in the mouth of the horse,
drop the pill, withdraw the hand, and
now only release the tongue. If this
is done properly, the hand in the mouth
is not in danger Of injury. Medicine,

other words, keep your back up when
you indulge in a hot bath and it can't
injure you. Then you will get the
good without the depressing effect.
All around us VIC see women suffering
with colds in every moderate weather.
The trouble generally arises from the
warm bath habit. Various ailments
from which women suffer are also re-
suits Of a continuous use of hot water,
and pallid lips, which arc a pretty sure
sign of a lack of vitality, arc still an
other.
"Whilc the main good of cold bath
can be obtained with only two or three
inches Of water in the tub, just enough
to immersc the spine, a complete i'm
mersion is more valuable, especially
for bicycle riders and other athletes.
Cold water not only invigorates the
skin and fortiies it against the chan
ges of temperature, but to a limited
extent it absorbs an excess of super
fetal heat. Its greatest good, how
ever, is in it's effect on the spine. 1t
dcpresscs the sympathetic nerves and
through them the vasomotors. Thus
the arteries arc relieved from excessive
restraint and the circulation becomes
free and vigorous. Thorough circula-
ton is thorough nutrition, and nutri-
ton is health and strength. In my
travels I've noticed that those women
living in the hot countries who fire.
~quently plunge into a river or some
stream for a few minutes don't know
what a backache is, and as for nerves,
why, they never heard of EN-. The
nations given over to cold baths are
the strongest nations physically.
Hot baths make limp bodies, and limp,
bodies usually carry about limp
minds"
"But," protested the stout woman,
lit ism every person who can take a
cold bath. Persons with any heart
trouble would risk their lives in plung-
ing into a tub Of cold water, and it is
too much of a shock for many people
who have no organic disease
"True enough" answered the man,
'but no creature lives who would not
be better for taking cold water on his
back, no matter how weak or diseased
he may be. Take my word for it, if
you take a cold bath take it on your
spine. If you take a warm or hot
bath, keep the heat away from your
spine, and l promise you that you
won't feel like your old languid self.
Every woman who goesin for athletics
should follow these two rules, and so
should every man."
s"There's sense in what you say,
commented the thin woman as they
arose from the table.
"And I for one am going to try the
cold bath on my back PLAN said the
stout woman.
$50 am l." chimed in the brunette,
and the man walked off smiling.

which is irritating, such as bluestone,
must not be given as a powder, because
it is liable to cauterize the delicate
parts Of the digestive passages.
Cows are drenched by holding their
horns and grabbing with index finger
and thumb the wall which divides the
nasal passages (the same place in which
bulls are linged). Cows rarely are
given pills, as they are so easily drench-
ed. The contrary is true of the hog,
hence drenching is always connected
with difficulties and danger. If the
hog must be drcnched, runit with the
hind quarters into a corner, place a
moose into the mouth and over the up
per jaw, in the same manner as recon-
mcnded for the horse, and most care
fully give the drench. Should the hog
begin to cough (this also refers to the
horse and cow Immediately stop Civ
ing the medicine and let the hand
come down. Since the drenching Of
the hog is so disagreeable, medicines
are generally given in the shape of
powders mixed in the food.

American Locomotives.

1t is asserted by the Scientific
American that record breaking per-
formanccs by American locomotives
arc continually looked upon with sus-
picion by/English experts, who arc
10th to believe that anything can sur
pass the English engines in this re-
spcct.
THE Engineer, Of London" says the
American, els greatly disturbed from
time to time because American rail
road mcn-managcrs, master mechan-
les and cngincers-pcrsistin crediting
their locomotives with fcats in speed
and hauling powers which arc entirely
beyond the capabilities of any Eng
fish locomotive. This periodic %irrita-
tion is discernible in every announce
mcnt Of an exceptional American To-
connective performance that may APP
pear in the columns Of our contempt
rary. Ordinarily the vexation APP
pears in the form Of an obvious query
mark, deity woven into the phrascol-
ogy of what purports to be a simple
announcement Of the fact that a fast
run has been made. But if the run
should happen to have been particu-
larly brilliant, the editors wrath is
manifested by his handing the details
of the performance to the Engineers
expert at figures, who proceeds to
prove on general principles, and by
aid Of sundry formula of unimpeach-
able antiquity, that, in the nature of
things, the feat could never have been
performed. No sooner does an Amer
lean engineer smash the record than
the expert proceeds to smash the en-
gineer-burying the lucklcss wight un-
der an avalanche of theoretical calcu-
~lations."
The base of such criticism is gener-
ally a reference to powers of English
engines of the same class, but it is
pointed out by the American that the
two engines are so dissimilar that such
a comparison is impossible. The
American engine can outrun and out
haul the English engine simply be-
cause it is "built that way" 1t has
more boiler capacity, larger port areas
and, with it's drive wheels Of moder-
ate diameter, will use a far greater
volume of steam in it's cylinders than
an English engine with it's seven or
eight foot drivers and slower piston
motion.
"The parts of an English locomo
tive" says the journal from which we
quote, ''are short and cramped, i'll
adapted to give that free admission
and escape to the steam which is es-
sential to effective work at very high
speeds. The slow piston speed and
che low mean cylinder pressure will
account for the small indicated horse
power of English locomotives, which
ordinarily ranges from 700 to $780,;
whereas the locomotives that haul the
heavy expresses in this country will
indicate from LOO to 1900 horse
power, when working up to their full
power. Engines that use such large
volumes Of steam require large boiler
capacity; and hence the latest boilers
in this country have from 1900 to g.
200 square feet of heating surface, as
against from LOO to 1900 in Eng
land. Other things being equal, the
locomotive that can pass the greatest
