Health and Condition of Horse.

Health and Condition Of Horses.
A recent government report treats
Of the health and condition OF horses
for the year ending March 81. It sum-
marizes as follows:
Losses.-Of the 10 states each esti-
mated to contain 100000 horses or up
ward. all except Missouri report losses
from disease somewhat less than those
of the preceding year. The year 1s9S-
80, however, was characterized by a
rate of mortality slightly higher than
that of any previous year for which
figures are available, and accordingly
comparison Of the year now under
discussion with the ten-year average
is less satisfactory. Ohio, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas
report rate of mortality below their
respective ten-year averages; in the
case OF Pennsylvania and Missouri the
percentages OF loss agree exactly with
the ten-year averages, while in New
York and Illinois they are slightly
above such averages.
Condition.-The condition of health.
fulness and flesh on April / was very
high, being only 3 per cent below the
normal. as compared with Sc per cent
below the normal on April / of the
preceding year.

Most Remarkable Canal.

The most remarkable canal in tn.
world is the one between Worsley and
st. Helens, in the North of England.
It is sixteen miles long and under
ground from end to end. In Lancashire
the coal mines are very extensive, half
the country being undermined. Many
years ago the managers of the Duke of
Bridgewater's estates thought they
could save money by transporting the
coal underground instead of on the sur
face; therefore the canal was construct
ed and the mines connected and drain
ed at the same time. Ordinary canal
boats are used, the power being fur
nished by men. The tunnel arch over
the canal is provided with cross pieces,
and the men who do the work of pro-
pulsion lie on their backs on the loads
of coal, and push with their feet
against the cross bars Of the roof.

Reporter Sent In the Wrong Card.

Reporter Sent In the Wrong Card.
An official OF the supreme court was
puzzled by card sent in to him by q
desperate newspaper man Monday,
April so, when the arguments on the
Kentucky government case began. The
court room was full of sightseers, and
the overflow extended in long line
down the corridor. The reporter tried
to get in ahead of the line, and was
stopped. He protested.
'Shall these rubbeinecks be let in to
moEopolize the supreme court room
when IL, a newspaper man, ordered
to report the case, am kept Out?" he
exclaimed.
'Them's ORDERS" said the ancient
colored man at the door.
OFF rushed the reporter to the court
marshars office. He yanked out his
wallet, and, seeing a card in it, wrote
on the back:
My editor orders me to report the
Kentucky case to-day. Must he adj
mftted: can't wait for the crowd"
In moment the answer came back,
and his card with it: mo ROOM"
The reporter looked at the card he
had sent in and blushed. He had by
mistake, given the attendant not his
own, but the card of manager of
troupe of ballet and variety perform
Decentralization Letter.

1rsl.nd's Big Cavern.

It has remained for a Frenchman to
make the first complete exploration of
the largest cavern in the British ISL
ands, that at Mitchelstown, Ireland.
The explorer is Monsieur Martel. who
has recently become famous for his
discoveries in the caverns of France.
The Mitchelstown cavern is formed in
limestone. and is remarkable for the
number and extent Of its connected pas
sages which, when plotted upon a
chart. resemble the streets of a city.
The length Of the cave is about a mile
and a quarter. and 1t contains some
animal inhabitants, including species
Of spider, which are peculiar to it and
which have their entire existence with.
in its recesses.

soul, the mate God meant for me, be-
cause, led by others counsels, blum
dered into loveless connection with
another! Which is the criminal bond
that ordained by my Maker, or the COM
pact which has had no blessing save
the approval of, cold-hearted and mer-
cenary mortals? Outwardly we must
remain as we are; but who is defrauded
if dream of what might have been? II
l love him for what he is in himself,
not for what he is to me?"
Then, shaking off the spell, she would
loathe herself for the vile suggestions,
and pray, in blind, heathenish way,
to Him who had sent her pain, to sus-
tain her under it, to keep her from
falling into the fouler mire of open de-
nance OF her husbands claims upon
her realty in word and act, to hold
her fast to the semblance Of right and
honor.
Parting from Edward at the outer
entrance with brief phrase Of thanks
for his kindness in accompanying her,
she ran up to her husbands room and
opened the door without knocking. A
gentleman, whom she recognized as a
prominent city lawyer, stood by the
lounge with paper in his hand. Two
young men, apparently clerks, were
withdrawn a little into the background
and table bearing writing materials
was between them and the others.
You acknowledge this instrument to
be your latest will and testament, and
In token thereof. have set hereto your
signature and seal?" the lawyer was
saying as the door swung noiselessly
ajar, and Constance stopped, unable t.
advance or retreat.
Mr.. Withers glanced around when hi
had given his assent. "Come in, my
dear" he said, quietly. 1--WE shall soor
be through this little matter"

peal he could think Of.
Really. Constance. your agitation IL

He did not mean to be unkind or sell
fish. He believed his health to be Of
supreme Importance in her esteem. and
that the recollection Of this would set
her to rights. The experiment succeed
ed to a charm. The sobbing fow Of
brtny drops was stanched on the In
slant.
II beg your pardon" stammered Con-
stance, Strengthening herself up. 81 will
control myself better hereafter. It is
time for your cordial. May I pour it
out for you?"
It was inevitable that the confession
she had meditated. while he told her of
his arrangements for hei future, be-
traying with child's artlessness the
perfectness of his trust in his brother
and in herself, the full outflow Of pen
itence, and depreciation, and entreaty
for pardon, Of which the tears were
but the type and premonition, should
be checked by the querulous reference
to his personal discomfort. But the sud-
den and disagreeable reaction induced
by 1t was hardly an excuse for the hard
ening Of her heart and dulling Of the
sensibilities, just now so tender, which
filled her mind with sullen resentment
against him who had repealed her con-
fidence. HE will never understand
me. We are as antagonistic as oil and
