Horses Poisoned by Fungi.

American Stock Farm says: "Horses
throughout Southern Louisiana have
been suffering greatly this summer
from an ailment which the farmers call
blind staggers, but which. is really pois-
oning caused by fungi. The disease ap-
peared first early in the spring, and
has grown steadily worse. Both mules
and horses have been affected, but tho
mules to a less extent than the horses.
The mortality among the horses has
been very high. The cause of the trou-
BILE was discovered only few days ago.
1t has been noticed that animals kept
in stables escaped. An examination
of the field disclosed a bountiful
growth OF poisonous fungi due to- the
long wet spring and other favorable
conditions. The horses have simply
been poisoning themselves while graz
ing at large"

IF Sampson was not handicapped by the Naval Strategy Board, more could be expected of him. Dewey's great victory is due to the fact that he was beyond the reach of Washington. Could the "Strat- egy Board" have reached him after he left Hong Kong, that august body of know-it-alls would proba dly have called him off before he reached Manila. Nothing has been more vascillating and indecisive than the conduct at Washington, One day Sampson is ordered somewhere aud the next day he is ordered some where else; troops are ordered to move to Cuba one day and the next the invasion is indefinitely post, poued, and so it has been from the beginning of the war Those in authority seem to be divided and the result of their division is inde- cision, inactivity and donothing policy. Sampson was sent to Ha- Vana to establish pacific block ade" in a time of war when he ought to have at once bombarded the Notifications and reduced them as Dewey did at Manila. Since that time Sampson with his fleet has been idly moving around in southern waters and has accom- ptished nothing. In the meantime Schley has been kept idle and has accomplished nothing. And so it has been since the beginning of the war. Give Sampson instructions similar to those given Dewey, let him be free and unfettered, and we will vouch for it that he will make short work of that Spanish Cape Verde fleet.

 iorato those of Cuba. Though only about one seventh of the population can read and write, according to the last census of the island, yet much greater proportion is white than in Cuba. This condition, it is general ly conceded, offers it's better pros pect for the evolution Of an enlight- ened citizenship, as well as for the development of material wealth, than is offered by population whose blood is largely African.
 Thought it's area is only about one-tenth that of Cuba, Porto Rico has population at present of ap proximately one million, which is only half million less than that which the large island possessed at the outbreak of the revolution now apparently drawing to close.
 Porto Rico is of about the size of Delaware and Rhode Island com blned. The population of Delaware is 197, 700 and that of Rhode Island 399,318 These are among the most densley populated States in the Union. A similar rule of com parison shows Cuba to be about the size Of Tennessee, whose population is less than two million. In other words, Cuba, under normal condi- tions, has been supporting a popu- lation less that that of Tennessee, one of the most productive com munities in this country, while Porto Rico supports a population more than twice as large as that of Delaware ard Rhode Island com. bined.
 That our navy will dislodge Spain from Porto Rico as a military neces sity at the outbreak of hostilities is foregone provided, of course, dlslodgment can be accom- plished, and experts do not enter tain doubts on that point. During tbe past three years Spain has sent total of about forty thousand troops to the island in different de- tachments. This force, it is sald, has been reduced, through one cause and another, to five thousand. Such force could not render effec tive aid to the Spanish navy in re- sisting attack by the United States. What to do with the island after hostilities cease in question which has not yet aroused much discus. sion in goyernmen tai circles, but il is one which will cause serious con. sideratio1 before final disposition is made St Louis Republic

{ Connecticut Mans Experience With Q
 Substitute Bathtub.

 { Connecticut Mans Experience With Q
 Substitute Bathtub.
 One of the most ridiculous situations which at the time bring the eoldess sweat out on mans brow and evex after remain with him as a constant source. of mirth occurred to Shelton merchant He thought he would take bath, and as his fiat is minus one of tho chief requisites for the job-a bathtub --he extemporized one out of a small washtub and enjoyed a cooling ablu- tion.
 He had just concluded and stepped from the tub for the towel, when sud- denly the top hoop of the tub burst with a sharp report, and the man saw to his horror that the whole contents of the tub would soon be flooding the floor. At th same moment he thought of the store beneath and the amount of dam. age the water would do as it ran down through the ceiling He is a man of quick thought, and in moment he did the only thing possible-threw himself down beside the tub and, clasping bis arms around it, held the already fast swelling slaves together. He was suo- cessful in keeping the water in-but what situation He dared not yell, fog he was hardly in a condition to receive callers, especially as he knew that all in the block at the time were of the gentler sex, and he realized at once that the only thing left for him was to stay in that position until the return of his wife, who was out on shopping expe- dition.
 Like the boy who saved Holland, he manfully remained in his most uncom- sortable position until relief in the shape of his wife appeared. Then, to cap the climax, when he asked her to get 8 rope or any old thing to tie about the tub, she, after long fit of uncontrolla. ble laughter, asked him why he didn't carry tub and contents out to the sink room and pour out the water. With A look that froze the smile on her face he did as she said and without word don. ned his clothing and wandered out into the cold, unfeelipg world, a crushed and humiliated man.--Ansonia Seut4. usL
 Carried Of First Honors.
 Miss Marion E. Garmory of Rockford. Ills, was recently examined for admis- sion to the bar at Ottawa, Ills, with eight young men and carried off the first honors. Four of the young men failed to pass. The Chicago Times-Herald says: Miss Garmory is one of the brightest as we'll as one of the most modest young wom. en in Rockford and, moreover, is very pretty girl, with many admirers. Six years ago she entered the office of City Attorney Robert K. Welsh as stenog. rapher, and all her leisure moments have been devoted to the requirement of legal lore. She has been of great assist ance to Mir. Welsh and, instead of en- gazing in the practice of law on her own hook, will remain with him. "

The Parts that do not Grow Old.

In his work on the senile heart, DR..
Balfour tells US that there are two
parts of .he human organism which,
if wisely used. largely escape senile
failure These two parts are the
brain and the heart. Persons who
think have often wondered why brain
workers, great statesmen, and others.
should continue to work with almost
unimpaired mental activity and cner-
gy up to period when most of the
organs and functions of the body are
in Il condition of advanced scnile de-
cay. There is psychological reason
for this, and Dr. Balfour tells us what
it is. The normal brain, he aiiirms:
''remains vigorous to the last. and
that "bccausc its nutrition is cspc-
cially provided for. About middle
life, or little later, the general artc-
rics Of the body begin to lose their
elasticity and to slowly but surely
dilate. They become. therefore, much
less efficient carriers of the nutrient
blood to the capillary areas. But
this is not the case with the internal
carotids, which supply the capillary
areas Of the brain. On the contrary,
these large vessels continue to retain
their pristine elasticity so that the
blood pressure remains normally high
er than within the capillary area of
amy other organ in the body. The
ccrcbal blood paths being thus kept
open. the brain tissue is kept better
nourishcd than the other tissues of
the body. -.N.iicnI Rrrord.
