Choking.

Choking, occurring in all animals, is
of most frequent occurrence among
cattle. 1t consists of the arrest of the
substance swallowed while on it's way
in the OesOphagus, a muscular tube
leading from the mouth to the sto-
mach, by clOgging the opening and
preventing the passage of food and IL
guilds into the stomach when swallow
ed.
Causes-A very greedy animal, en-
deavoring to get more than his or her
share of the feed issued out like other
rations equally, neglects to properly
masticate it, endeavors to swallow
large quantities and chokes. 1t is also
caused by attempting to swallow
pieces Of potatoes, apples, eggs, etc.
Choking can be prevented to Il great
extent by feeding the animal .on the
ground or putting a few rocks in the
trough with the feed, so that it will
continually keep him pushing the
rocks from side to side to get a
mouthful of feed, there by forcing him
to masticate his food we'll and eat
slowly, which is most essential to
health in the animal kingdom just as
it is essential to mankind.
1t is common for old animals to get
chOked, for their teeth are worn and
decayed, which prevents masticatiOn
properly. Feed them soft, damp food.
Symptoms-Uneasi ness, coughing.
violent attempts at swallowing, at
tempts to vomit, retching and spas
mOdic movement Of the neck are
prominent symptoms accompanied by
saliva flowing from the mouth and alb
dominal swelling.
Parliamentary to dislOdge the OBJ
struction by manipulation first. The
head should be held firmly by an as
sistant, extended up and straight out,
while the practitioner gently manipu-
lates and endeavOrs to break up the
mass. First give lard or a cup of oil,
which assists in sOftening the valves
and Oesophageal opening. Pass the
hand back and try to reach it. If un-
successful take buggy whip and
push it down. Jump or run and excite
the animal to produce coughing AMI
often the patient will eXpel the OBJ
structiOn itself. It. is not difficult or

Gently, has been lifelong invalid from
palpitation of the heart and weakness of the
blood. She was restored to health in most
remarkable way; in fact, it seems almost
miraculous.
Physicians were puzzled over her case,
their most skilItul efforts were bafled. Va
rious remedies were tried, but without avail.
The proverbial change of climate was
advised. Acting upon this advice Miss
Moore travelled as extensively as she could
in her enfeebled condition, but this did not
benefit her, in fact, the constant change wore
upon her until, to quote her mothers words,
she became living ghost"
Her numerous friends became alarmed at
her failing health and feared she was "going
into consumption" Her system became
such that the needed medicine could not be
taken. She despaired of life.
In speaking of this experience she said:

here for twenty-six years, but have been

In a little side street in Philadelphia
lives an old couple who make a living
by following an odd vocation. The
building occupied by them is small
two-stOry affair that was one time
used, evidently, for a grocery store.
The lower floor is packed full of cages,
and in each one of these cages are two
or more parrots. They are Of all col
ors, sizes and kinds. These birds are
pupils, and they are taught to speak
any phrase, or a series of them, that
sound so cute when uttered by we'll

are being trained to order. One of
them, an especially fine bird, is de-

| heard an interesting fact regard
ing the former empress of the French
the other night which shows in what
direction her thoughts run. Whenever
she has occasion to write anything
about her lamented husband, she al
ways uses the diamond pen which
signed the treaty of Paris. All those
who participated in this historical oc-
casion wanted the pen as memento.
But so keen was the empress on pos
sessing it that she begged that only
one pen should be used, which she
thought she had right to retain as a
souvenir. This was agreed to. The
pen takes the form of quill plucked
from a golden eagles wing and rich

Ordinary phosphorus is highly pois
onOus is infiammable at a tempera-
far below that of boiling water and at
the ordinary temperature of a room
if exposed to the slightest friction,
and gives off poisonous fumes at or
binary temperatures when in contact
with air containing any moisture. Red
phosphorus is not poisonous even in
large quantities, and gives off no
fumes in ordinary conditions. 1t is
used in the manufacture of matches
that strike only on the box. The
ordinary phosphorus occupies large
place in match manufacture which the
red variety cannot fill. How large
that place is may be judged from the
fact that some sixty tons of white
phosphorus are annually used in max
king matches, while the consumption
of red phosphorus is only four tons.

Snails of a strange variety have made

supposed they are brought from some
Eastern conservatory in flowers. They
are very long, some measuring six
inches in length. They have multi

them. A number of wells and els

persons now keep a ring of salt around
their wells to preserve them from their
ravages. They are now trying to eX-

take place nightly, one person often
catching from 300 to 400. Where the
snails crawl over the grass they leave
