The Wonders Of zootherapla.
According to the newspapt

According to the newspapers
the latest fad in therapeutics is
called zootherapia, and it has laid
the Faith cure and the Kniepp
cure in the shade, says the States.
1t consists of transferring what
!, ever physical ailment a person
may have to an animal and allow
the poor brute to wrestle with it
as best it may. For instance if
one partakes too literally Of GU
cumber salad and experiences an
agonizing pain in the abdominal
region, as though a buzz saw was
at work cutting chings into force
meat, all he has to do is call the
dog and hold the affectionate Fido
to the seat OF trouble for few
minutes when relief comes and it
is the dogs turn to howl. Some
people will claim, of course, that
! it is a low down trick to play on o
dog. but this fact will hardly oc-
cur to the person who unloads
the cucumber spasms, but on the
contrary he he is apt to sigh with
satisfaction over the peaceful re-
storation of a peaceful condition
of affairs in the department of the
interior, and to smile as he glances
out of the window and note the
fantastic contortions of the dog
as he yelps and rolls around the
grass like converted negro at a
camp meeting. If the relieved
party happens to be ola sympa-
thetic nature however he will feel
very sorry for the dog and show
it by giving the poor animal a
large dose of turpentlne and cas-
tor oil, which, Of course, must be
done at the risk Of forever losing
the friendship and respect of the
dog, but in this vale Of tears and
tribulation sacrifices are expected
of us all, and we must make them
cheerfully and with Christian re-
signation and fortitude.
The zootherapia cure is said to
have performed wonders, and you
can get rid of the rheumatism. or
catarrh by telegraphing it, so to
speak. into your neiehbor's horse
or COW, or what is even better
if you, have a bad case of sore

parrot next door that sings all
night, aud enable you to rest we'll
and feel refreshed in the morning.
The cure, however, does not per-
nit Of the transferrence ofailments

worked on unsophistlcated dumb
brutes only. This is unfortu nate.
just think of how much domestic
trouble could be avoided were il
possible for q man going home
with that tired feeling to transfer
his 16-guage Jag to some thirsty
tramp who implores him for q

how many dry and sad souls
could be made. happy in thi;
way; how many benefactions to

instead of finding the crawling
around the hall vainly seeking
the location of the stairway and
wondering how they were going to
handle it after it was discovered
1t would open a way to make
thousands Of homes happy, but
we cannot, in this life, have things
to be as we wish them, consequent
lily great as is zootherapia it does
does not give entire satisfaction.

they operate on their own ac-

are sent north and the cotton sold

THE ICE HARVEST.
Over l45,OO0 Tons Housed along
- the Pen0bSc0t.
Sun, Wind and Rain Have Ruined
Some OF the Best Fields.

Bangor Me-, March 13. The Penobscot
Ice harvest for 1897 Is now completed, and
is considerably larger than was at first
expected. Early In the winter when there
was prospect OF a large crop on the
Hudson, operators here seeing no prospect
of profit in the business concluded TO har-
vest only enough for this seasons install
ments on their longtime contracts and
the houses were closed with crop of
about H. 600 tons. Later, however, when
news from the Hudson indicated u short
crop there operations were renewed on the
Penobscot. The weather of the past two
weeks has been very changeable the tenn
peraturc ranging from zero or below 10 40
above with frequent storms of sleet snow
and rain. As "A result the best fields are
now badly affected while the sun, wind
and rain have ruined the thin ice, at the
lower limit of the fields.
The Penobsoot harvest can now be
accurately summed up as l45, 600 tons of
new Ice. There are also about 90 600 tons
of old ice in store
