Care OF Work Animals.

Clemson College, s c., March 10, 1897.
Spring Is close at hand and with 1t rush
OF iarm work. A great many OF the farm
animals, that is, horses and mules, have been
more or less idle through the winter. AS 8!
consequence their tonghnass has diminished
and 4 put to hard word suddenly, with plenty
OF food they are apt to get sore shoulders ana
unless great care Is bestowed upon the iced
ing, collie will also attack the animal. VI
course the main thing In all diseases Is pre-.
vention. When the animals are first put TO
work in the spring take 1t Il little easy with
them the first week and gradually Increase
their feed and collie, that dread disease, des.
troying every year lots Of valuable mules and
horses, will be a rare occurrence.
One OF the main reasons OF sore shoulders
In plough animals is dirty collar. There
fore when the collar Is removed wash itclean,
that Is, remove the sweat and dirt which &C
cumulated while at work. Young mules
and horses When first taught TO plough will
often pull sideways; this increases the draft
on one side Of the body and sore Ia likely To
follow. Sores are painful and many an ami
NAL becomes balky when the sore Is lett un-
attended and the poor creature continued at
work.
1t Ia good plan TO wash the parts OF the
body which are exposed to the pressure Of
the harness with water TO which some alum
has been added One once Of alum 10 quart
OF water would make n good wash for that
purpose, applied for % while twice daily.

San Francisco, March 2I-In fash
ionable attire with 10 external marks
of pugilistic defeat, but debonair and
smiling as if he had just won great
victory, James ]. Corbett, ex-champion,
paraded the streets and made>his ap-
pearance in well known resorts with q
coterie of admiring friends. OF his
plans for the future Corbett said:
Il won't make any move till Brady

other match with Julian, but hardly
think they will give me another chance

But this does not annoy me. What 1
am after is another battle" He showed
his disabled hands, which were swol-
len to twice their normal size.
''That was all done in the sixth
round. If they had not gone back on
me 1 would have finished him in the
seventh. That is why had no steam"
Corbett expressed the opinion that
Fitzsimmons was down twelve seconds
when he fell in the sixth round. You
can bet all you have got that he was
out more than ten seconds. Scores Of
men will back me up, but the decision
is made aud there is no use kicking

How contemplate is the miserable
man who, by smooth tongue and slick
ways, gets worthy people into his
clutches to be bunkoed, robbed or
murdered! Conspicuous in his class
just now is Butler, the Australian null
ti-murderer, who was recently captured
in San Francisco on board the Swan
hilda. While on the vessel he was
known in sailor parlance as an "angel
sailor." He used no bad language and
objected to any coarse or profane ex-
pressions being used by his shipmates.
One day at mess. when sailor rudely
snatched piece Of bread from the
hand of another, Butler, who valued
human life as cheaply as that of a gnat,
was so outraged at this breach Of table
etiquette that, after glazing angrily at
the offender, he remarked that he had
once killed a negro in West Australia
for a less oftense than that. Alto
gether this man, who lured his victims
to the mountains and made them dig
their own graves, was much too nice
to associate with the herd of common
sailors he shipped with. Beware Of con-
fidence men-men who have spells Of
being too good. They are usually after
either your money or your life. -

stormy day in the house of representa-

Of u special order fixing the limits OF
the tariff debate. and two of the regu-
lar appropriation bills, which failed to
become laws at the last session, had
been passed and sent to the senate. The
other two will he passed at the next
sitting so that, as Mr.. Cannon re-
marked. all the drift wood of the last
congress will be swept away before
the struggle over the tariff bill be-
gins. The galleries were thronged and
there was hardly a vacant seat on the
floor. At times partisan feeling ran
high and the hall echoed the cheers of
the majority Of the opposition as their
respective spokesman made effective
points. Mr.. Bailey C1eX), who made
his debut as the leader of the minority
was favOrably received by his side.
and announced it to be the policy of
the minority not to delay the passage

leader of the majority. recalled the
fact that dire prophecy of the result
Of the Mckinley bill had been made
by Secretary Carlisle, then the leader
Of the minority ON the occasion of the
passage OF the Mckinley law. A spe-
cial order was adopted limiting the tar
if debate according the the plan here
tofore outlined. The rule was carried
by strict party vote-179 to 132-the

to a vote yesterday afternoon and
failed OF passage, not because the ma

three votes, but this includes Mr..
Staples, who changed his vote from the
affirmative to the negative in order to
move Il reconsideration. The friends
OF the measure are yet hopeful of sue

We hear, from time to time. criti-
cism of missionaries which is at once
sweeping and slanderous. On the 9th
,er hand, official testimony to their
worth and work is abundant. The Sec
rotary of state for India bears witness
in this strong way: "The government
of India cannot but acknowledge the
great obligation under which it is laid
by the benevolent exertions made by
missionaries, whose blameless exam
pie and self-denying labors are infus-
ing new vigor into the stereotyped life
of the great population placed under
