With either implement cut as close 10
the head as possible, taking little rim
of hair along with the horn. With the
saw the operator can cut a little closer
than with the clippers. On no account
attempt to cut above the head. Take a
little of the skull bone rather than
leave the matrix or base of the horn.
If this is left, stub horns will grow.
Do not be afraid to cut close The
least sensitive part is just at the
matrix of the horn where the arteries
separate into capillaries. Much mis-
understanding has existed ON this
point, and many have made the well
meaning but serious error of cutting
about a half inch above the head. This
produces an ugly wound.
Cattle may be dehorned successfully
at any time of the year provided they
are not exposed to the flies or severe
cold. 1t is needless to use tar or any
other preparation on the wound except
to protect it from the flies. Big horns
may be as safely removed as little
horns, and the older the animal the
less the loss of blood. The worst age
at which an animal may be dehorned is
from / to years old. The horn is
then much more vascular full of blood
vessels than when the animal is older
and more liable TO bleed. The loss of
blood will be small If the horn is cut
close to the head

INDIGESTION In sheen.

Sheep are exceedingly troubled dur
ing feeding by Indigestion, the results
of which are most observable on the
liver, says The Sheep Breeder. This
is seen in the yellow color of the eyes
skin and especially of the liver ITSELF
which, as a result Of the Inflammation
often grows fast to other parts of the
intestines. When a sheep is seen to be
dumpish, standing with the head down
and frothing at the mouth it is affected
by this disease. Then Immediately it
should get six ounces of EPSON salts
with one teaspoonful of an even mix
ture of ground ginger. gentian and sui
phate of iron in some oatmeal or lin
seed meal as soon as the salts has op-
Grated. 1t is a good precaution to keep
this tonic mixture on hand and give a
dose of it once week, having regu-
lar day for it and going through the
whole flock. A sharp lookout is to be
given to detect any yellowness of the
eyes in the flock or the first Indication
of disorder in any way. for Immediate
treatment win save the sheep by re-
storing them to a healthful condition.
Indeed, any observable difference in
the behavior of the sheep should call
for instant examination and due treat

orders one day to get certain Informal
ton from Secretary Seward without

Seward did not receive the newspaper
man very cordially.

rotary. Il am very busy. You are
taking up my time, young man, and
can't be bothered with YOU"
In an instant Cummings was boiling
with anger and hurt pride. He drew
himself up. looked the secretary
straight in the eyes and said:
you forget, sir, that there are three
parties to this interview"
'sThreef" queried Seward in surprise.
How do you make that outg'
First. sir. there is you. secretary of

is an American citizen who considers
himself the equal of any man on earth

Stories That Authors Begin and Find
1t Impossible TO Finish.
The inability of an author to finish d
piece of work that he has engaged to
do and has already actually begun is
not so very uncommon a thing 1t is
said that Dickens began THE Mystery
of Edwin brood" without any clear
conception in his mind Of how the story
was going to turn out and that had he
not died, leaving it unfinished he
would have found almost any ending
difficult to reconcile with certain hints
contained in the earlier chapters. we
remember a rather curious instance Of
the same sort as having happened a
good many years ago, when the elder
Bonner was editing the New York
Ledger.
A very impecunious literary man sent
to Bonner the first chapters of a most
exciting story which gave promise Of
being just the sort of thing which
readers of The Ledger used to like.
The story was accepted and ran on I'M
interruptedly and very successfully for
about four weeks, when all of sudden
the authors invention gave out. For
the life of him he could not go on with
the tale, and he had to go to Mr.. Bon
ner and say so frankly.
The next number of The Ledger ap-
peared without the expected INSTALL
ment of the story, but with brief
note to the effect that, owing to the
sudden illness of its author, its further
publication was temporarily suspend
ed. This was to give that embarrass-
ed person a chance to recover his in
spiration. Mr.. Bonner asked him TO
dinner, took him driving and in vari-
Gus ways tried to brace him up for
further work, but it was of no use
He simply could not go on and so the
rest of the story never saw the light

The Typewriter and the Eye.

There is the general opinion among
oculists that the eye is much relieved
ny the general Introduction of type
written matter. A recent medical work
upon diseases of the eye gives a great
many proofs IN substantiation of this
opinion.
The characters are so large on the
keys that there is no appreciable strain
on the vision, and when dexterity is at
tanned the eyes can scarcely be said to
be used at ALL 4 vast strain is taken
off the eye by writing with the type
writer instead of the pen. but the adj
yantages of reading the typewriter
matter are even more important from
medical point of view, and the strain
upon the hands Is also slight
1t is said that person can work for
eight consecutive hours, with slight in
rerruptions. without the hands being
conscious of fatigue. In using the
typewriter the additional labor of TO-
euslng the eyes calls the muscles into
undue use. and the result Is that many
defects of vision which would not
probably be discovered under normal
conditions are brought to the 'front.'

The general contour of his head lent
itself to the outlines of the sack, and
he used marks for the nose and eyes.

Another of Nast's trick pictures was
one of Roscoe Conkling. He would
draw large letter V. with a smaller v
inside it and surmouni the pair with

The big represented Conkling's point
