Napoleon l had a watch which wound

which at every step which his majesty
took rose and fell, and having a gath

attached to the barrel. Pedometers
were afterward made on the same
principle. The Duke of Wellington
had a watch which was given to him
by the King of Spain, from which the

ashes are essential in building bone in
hogs. When wood ashes cannot be
obtained, corn cobs can be burned to
a charcoal or else TO fine ash and
kept in some clean place to which the
hogs have access at all times. There
need then be no special work in feed
ing it to them at any stated time.

Logan, Feb. "A strange thing is re-
ported from Mendow. Mr.. Robert Smith
of that place recently noticed that a
valuable horse of his was suffering
from what appeared to be bots; he ac-
cordingly treated him for that COM
plant for a day or two, but the horse
grew worse, giving evidence of suffer-
ing the greatest agony. Finally its
sUmerings became so intense that Mr..
Smith had to kill it. 1t was then opened
and an examination made as to the
cause Of the trouble. Near the kidneys
of the dead animal they found a rep
tile over a foot long. which resembled
huge lizard very much: beside this,
and separated only by a thin membra-
nous covering, they found another and
much smaller reptile, just like the first
one discovered. The larger one was
still alive and wriggling about when
the examination was made. How they
came to be in the horses body is a mys-
terry, as the stomach and intestines of
the animal were not injured in the
least Mr.. Smith intends taking the
two strengthening reptiles over 10 the

possible what they are.
