with difficulty. and by two distinct eff
forts. The immediate cause is the rup-
ture or debility of the small cells in the
lungs. so the animal canont expel the
air he has drawn in without an extra
and double effort. 1t is obvious, there
fore, that the symptoms are readily de-
tected.
Authorities say that when the disease
Is established it is incurable, though 1t
can be alleviated materially. II the
disease is not too intense some relief
may be obtained by giving one-half to
one grain of arsenic in form Of Fow-
lers solution daily for several weeks.
One authority recommends the follow
Ing prescription: "Thirty grains each
Of calomel, digitalis, opium and cam
phor; make into ball and give once
or twice day" After the first week
the calomel should be omitted. But
more valuable than any medicine is the
food and treatment of the animal. The
diet should be Of the best quality and
small quantity. Coarse foods should be
avoided. Mouldy or dusty hay or fod-
der is especially injurious. Let him run
on clean, short pasture and the feed
given be in a concentrated form, slight
ly dampened to allay any dust. Keep
bowels loose.

When two days old put In board pen

water and pressed dry. Do not give
them water to swim in until three
weeks old. Dust with Persian insect
powder once a week; when four weeks
old feed on corn bread soaked in sweet
milk; young onion tops cut fine and
mixed with their feed are healthful
After four weeks old they will thrive
ON almost any diet and will grow with
less water to swim in than is generally
supposed. Always keep water for
drinking as pure and clean as possible,
changing often and putting gravel in
the dish where water is kept.

Feeding Pic. Regularly.

Much depends in feeding pigs on CIV
ing their food at regular intervals.
Then the pig will very soon become
used to this, and will not expect his
food until the next regular feeding
time comes. The old saying that a
squeaHng pig loses pound of fat every
time it squeals has this much of truth
In 1t, that the irregular times for feed
ing which occasions most of the squeal-
ing Is the surest way to destroy diges-
tion This in pigs IS not SO strong as
Is often supposed. The pig is greedy
by nature. Others must see to it that
it does not eat more nor oftener than

where rainfall Is too little to carry it
or In solution. The more common salts
are Glauber's salts, common salt and
sal soda. The last named occasions
the principal injury by girdling plants
at the surface. In connection with
these salts are found others which are
among the most valuable elements of
fertility, mainly salts Of potash and
hme, and found in greater proportions
in arid than in humid lands. These
salts frequently appear ON the surface
only after irrigation. In such cases it
will be found that they existed below
the surface and were carried in solu-
tion by water used in irrigation and
left on the surface by evaporation. A
remedy Is deep cultivation with thor
ough pulverization sof the surface in
orchard cultivation, to reduce evapora-
ton to a minimum; or shading the
ground with such crops as alfalfa. The
more important discoveries are that
the Australian salt bush will thrive
ON strong alkan lands and that they
have also produced large yields and
fine quality Of sugar beets.

SUICIDE OF MISS HERBERT.

jumped From Third Story Window
After Severing an Artery.
Washington, Dec. 22.-Miss Leila
Herbert, daughter of former Secretary
of the Navy Herbert, of Alabama, died
at her home in this city yesterday.
She jumped from the third story of
her home, which is situated on New
Hampshire avenue, in the most fash
ionable part of the city, just off Du-
pont Circle. Miss Herbert at the time
of the occurrence was suffering from
acute melancholia. 1t developed sew
eral weeks ago as the final result of
injuries received by being thrown from
her horse in September.
Early yesterday morning the nurse
on duty noticed small spot of blood
on the bed covering. She inquired
what it meant, but the invalid en-
deavored to pass it by lightly. On
making an investigation, however, the
nurse found that the under bedclothes
were saturated with blood, and that
Miss Herbert had severed the artery
of her wrist with a pair of scissors.
Feeling that the emergency was great,
the nurse fastened to the door and
called an alarm. In this momentary
absence from the bedside Miss Her
bert leaped out and sprang from the
window. The plunge was made head
foremost, so that she lighted on the
top of her head on the asphalt pave
ment. This injury alone was sufficient
to have caused death from conclusion,
and it was doubtless the immediate
cause. She died an hour after the

THE ANTI-GAM6LlNG AMEND
MENT
RETURNS TO BE REVIEWED BY THE sU-
PREME COURT.


Judge Dixon, of the Supreme Court, has
notified ex-senator VIM d. Edwards that
the branch of the Supreme Court, Justices
Dixon, Collins and Van Syckel had granted
writ of certiorari commanding the Secre-
tary of State to produce before the Supreme
Court the returns and proceedings of the
State Board of Canyassers in the vote on
the amendment to the Constitution pro-
hibiting gambling.
In our issue of December 8, we gave con-
siderable space to the arguments Of ex-
Attorney General Stockton on the applica-
ton for the writ, aud Attorney General
Grey 10 opposition, hence our readers are
fully informed of the array of facts on
which the writ was granted.
The Trenton True american of the 21st
inst. in commenting on the above action,
says
The action of the Supreme Court in
granting the writ of certiOrari in the mat
ter of the race-track amendment is not only
the death-knell of the amendment, but is
the most severe criticism upon the course
of Governor GIiggs in declaring the amend
ment to baYe been adopted.
The words of the constitution are plain,
and the direction positive, that an amend
ment to the constitution must receive the
votes of majority of the electors quail
fed to vote for members of the legislature
voting thereon.
These words must have been consulted
by the Governor while acting as member
of the Board of State. Canvassers. They
should have been thoroughly understood
and appreciated by him before performing
the weighty and important duty of declar-
ing the adoption or rejection of a provision
of the State constitution.
The proposed amendment curtaiIed
materially the power held by the legisla-
ture under the original constitution, and it
was due to the people of the State that that
power should not be amended or diminish
ed except in strict accord with the letter OF
the law.
The figures as presented to the Gov.
and by him laid before the State Board OF
Canvassers showed conclusiyely that much
less than maj ,rity of the votes polled had
been counted by the election officers as
favorable to the amendment.
The cuEsory reading of the vote by re-
porters showed that there had been more
votes counted for the amendment than
against it, and no attention was paid to the
rejected ballots.
But these rejected ballots had been cast
by qualified voters, and those voters formed
part of the army CT which the favoring
votes should form majority in order to
adopt an amendment.
" The carelessness which led the Gov.
TO the other inference is blunder of the
worst kind, and is only emphasized by the
argument of Attorney General Grey, that
it ought not to be corrected by judicial
inquiry and determination.
The Supreme Court has determined
otherwise, and has SO done the State great
service"

The Constitution has surprisingly short
and one-sided mental apparatus. The
prompt and vigorous action of the court in
Hudson county, on the mere newspaper
allegation of official malfeasance by the
assistant Prosecutor and Assemblyman-
elect Simpson, is in striking contrast with
that condoned by the Constitution in a case
equally aggravated and mischievously far
reaching in the Constitutions own baiiwick
The Democratic officials in Hudson are
doing their duty, backed by the Democratic

such a course here, decency would dictate
that it hold its peace. But if it must speak,
