Sickness" and do all things necessary

pedestrianisn in Germany.

4 German friend Of mino Che is some.
What of humorist) was bantering mo
about the notorious aversion Of Ameri-
cans to walking, ard he remarked that
he had heard it said that the average
American did not walk more than mile
day. Of course resented this gross
libel, and asserted that the average
American thought nothing of starting
out for walk of.five miles. l cited
with good deal of pride the habitual
practice of Julian Hawthorne of taking
mere stroll of twenty or thirty miles
whenever he has few moments to de-
vote to exercise. 1 spoke. too, of your
townsman, Mr.. Slason Thompson, editor
OF The America, who is in the habit of
walking ten miles day and running fif-
teen or twenty more.
Ny friend thereupon became personal,
and ventured to intimate that could
not walk five miles. OF course accept
ed the challenge implied, and, peacefully
doddering imbecile that was, I actually
walked for four consecutive hours before
learned upon demonstrating with my
humorous friend) that German mile
was equal to four and half English
miles, and that in order to accomplish
the feat ! had undertaken I should have
to cover twenty-five and u half miles.
Germany would be veritable para
dise,- methinks, for Julian Hawthorne
and Slason Thompson. They would be
elected to the reichstag at the first con-
gressional election. = Eugene Field in

Sore Feet of Cattle.

There are a number of diseases Of
the feet affecting cattle In the western
states of which thrush or foot rot is
most common, says State Veterinarian
Gibson. 1t is caused by mud or de.
composing vegetable or animal matter.
There is q soreness and liberation of
the heels that seems to appear In dry
hot, weather and may be caused by
bruising the heel bulbs. Some cases Of
sore heels crack and bleed while others
snppurate and form Assesses. The
treatment for such cases is cleanliness,
washing the feet or driving over the
wet grass, then through narrow lane
or gateway over a quantity of Stacked
lime. If there is suppur alton, an ap-
plication of creolin or chioro. naptho-
leum should be made, using cotton OF
oakum saturated with either of the
agents mentioned and bound with
bandages. The severe cases should be
confined in clean place and not al.
lowed to irritate the feet by travelling

puration in the interdigital space, II

Drink Yeur Sod. SLOWLY.

Good soda should be slipped. Quickly

interval of minute or
two should b5 dl1slasd before the last
half Of the glass is taken. Clerks should
know this, and give customers time
without warning by looks or actions that
they are expected to leave in the shortest
possible order after bolting their soda
and paying for it. A glass of soda SO
taken is refreshing stimulus, better
than food in a very hot noon, but tossed
off as most people take it is recipe for
cramps or indigestion.
II it is poor soda, tasting of metal with
the silver worn off, or standing in silver
too long, favored dwith sirups made from
oranges or lemons whose musty taste is
plain to all refined palates, the less one
takes the better for life and health.
Girls who serve the cheap soda fountains
at fancy stores well know this from e3-

soda themselves. The girls behind the
counters who depend on soda to keep up
their strength through the close days in
jure their digestion by 1t, and, ,Mrhaps

Turkestan Alf.lf..

The reports from the region west Of
the Mississippi river north of Kansas
and California indicate that this variety
is harder and more productive than that
commonly grown in this region. It
stems to endure drought better, is not
so easily affected by freezing and gives
better results on strongly alkaline soils
In the east, however, where there is q
heavy rainfall and where heavy soils
predominant, this variety seems to be
little If any superior to the French or
Chilean varieties lin fact, it seems GER
tain that In some localities at least It is
less valuable. The seed of Turkestan
alfalfa will germinate much quicker
and the plants start into growth earlier
under the same conditions than com.
mon alfalfa. The plants are more
ieafy, grow more rapidly and have q
