Horses Have Econ Known to DO Mad
ON the Battlefle cid.
The difficulty or: the impossib Utility of
defining insanity makes the question of
whether or not animals become insane
by no means easy to answer. Insanity
In the human subject, 1t Is supposed
by some, has no analogue in the lower
animals. Yet many causes will lead
to the permanent loss OF all self-con-
troll. Cattle driven from the country
through the crowded tG1oroughfares of
a town will, under the influence Of this
sudden change of condition, work
themselves into a state Of excitement
and fury which must at least be close
" allied to madness. Horses have been
known to go mad in the midst of tho
beWildering scenes Of a battlefield. At
BBalaklava an Arabian horse turned up
on its attendant, who happened to ba
drawing water, seized him in its mouth
threw him to the ground and then
knee1ing upon him attacked him like
an Infatuated dog. Before the terror
could be subdued it had bitten off an
other soldiers finger and seriously
wounded the army veterinarian. An
other instance is related of a docile
horse, which one hot summer day went
mad. Everything that came within
it's reach it seized in its teeth and shock
like a terrier would a rat. It raided
the pigsties and threw the inmates one
after another into the air. Afterwards
it almost killed its own master, after
manning for life the horseshoer who
was called in. This, at least, must have.
been case Of insanity. The cause of
such insanity is often to be found in
congenital malformation of the bones
of the head. Prof: Romanes even goes
Sc far as to prove, by what appears to
be lneontestable evidence, that animals,
cats, dogs and monkeys, have been OBJ,
served to have delusions very. simila,
to those of insane people. 49, ]

Regulating the Width Of Tires.

Prof +. H. King, Physicist of the
Wisconsin Agricultural Station in the
bulletin prepared by him on the con-
struction and maintenance of country
roads, says concerning wide tires:

have ordinances regulating the WIDTH
of tire and diameter of wheel which
may be*used on the roads when carry.

better roads are found and a better
system for maintenance exists, there
are ordinances which fix the width o,
tire to be used with given loads. In

EATING AND SLEEPING.

Food supplies the substance for repair
ing the wastes of the body, and gives
strength. Sleep affords the opportunity
for these repairs to be made. Both are
necessary to health. If you can't eat and
sleep, take Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t
creates a good appetite and tones the
digestive organs, and it gives the sweet,
restful sleep of childhood. Be sure to
