TRUTH ABOUT BATS.
Horses Digestion. Hut Never
Cause Serious Illness

There are many charges laid against
bots, says the Horseman, but il is
doubtful if they ever really merited
any of them. The bot is developed in
the stomach of the horse from the
egg of the gadfy, which is laid by the
mature female somewhere on the skin
where the horse can lick itself handily.
The right side of the equine stomach
is lined with a veyety appearing sub
stance that secretes the gastric Juice.
and 10 the tougher lining of the left
side the bots attach themselves after
Matching out. They adhere to this
tough lining by two small hooks. but
they are not provided with mouths,
and hence cannot eat. They are nOur-
ished by the absorption of digested
food through their skin. That shows
why there is no truth in the story that
the stomach Of the horse is sometimes
eaten through by bots. They cannot
thus destroy the stomach, for they
cannot, and do not, eat. The bots ad-
here TO the lining described through
one season till the following spring,
when in the course of their growth
the hooks let go and the bots are car
ried on down through the intestinal
track until they are voided. Their
subsequent growth to the matured
gadfiy need not be detailed. Then the
female lays her eggs again and the
round goes on as before. No med
icine that can be given the horse will
kill the bots. Anything that can get
through their skins will first destroy
the stomach of the horse. So nothing
can be done to get rid of bots, and no
fear need be entertained that they are
going to do any great damage to the
horse. Nature does not plan to de-
stroy in such tremendous degree as
would ensue If the bots could eat the
lining of the horses stomach. They
may interfere somewhat with diges-
ton, il present in enormous numbers,
but in that way only, and the writer
can say with all truth that he never
knew any serious case of equine ill
ness due solely to bots.

the north side so high that the north

figuring on the errors of kissing In
public by working out fine of 50 and
costs at the bridewell. The woman is
at the same institution. The fact that
she consented to be kissed in public
and by stranger was considered
greatly against her and the fine in the
case was fixed at $40 and costs. Now
she is wondering why it is more Sc
rious for a woman to kiss a man than
for a man to kiss a woman. The police
are divided on the question.

hears many things and he has grown

scenes at night on that thoroughfare.
But the public kissing was too much
even for him.
Sweeney is laborer and 63 years old.
He says he is not adverse to kissing
members of the fair sex when they do
not object. Miss Amind is 3s years
old and she does not deny that she APP
preciates a good kiss and she is not
ashamed to kiss in public. However,
she will not admit that she was kissed
by Sweeney. Neither will she deny it.
Lieut.. O'Connor asked Officer Kelle-
her If he was opposed to kissing.
"Oi am" declared the officer. "Oi
niver wor kissed excipt by me mother

Odors are subtle. withal searching.
In dealing with those in the kitchen
an ounce of prevention is worth at

The acrid smell of burnt or scorched

MACADAMIZED ROADS.
New York state Farmer Claims That
They Can he Built Mt "a Very
Moderate Expense.

The road question seems TO be
quite a problem to solve, and the
trouble appears to be the enormous
expense of some of the roads recent
ly built under the supervision of the
state engineer, at the great cost Of
$1,000 TO $1,000 per mile, when a good
macadamized road can be built much
cheaper.
To build a macadamized road you
must do away with all unnecessary
expense, viz, do no excavating, en-
ploy no engineer, nor is it necessary
10 use steam roller. As for exca-
vating, It IS unnecessary, for there
are very few roads in the country
but rise of a foot would be a great
benefit As for the engineer, any
handy man that could grade flower
bed can spread broken stone on
road a foot thick, "a, l6 or Is feet
wide. and make it six inches higher
in the center. As for the steam roll
er. the weight of the stones will pack
themselves, and fully believe, from
experience, that steam rolling is a
useless expense.

his time with the low and ribald COM
pany found at any tavern within 10
or - miles of his home.
Alcohol weakened his mind, and even
partially paralyzed his body. No one
believed that the drinking, swearing,
staggering loafer could be far from
the drunkard's end. No one but his
wife. She prayed for him, and hoped
and waited. He never abused his fam
lily. He only disgraced them. In his
cups he often boasted of his good,
pious wife" and his smart children.
One August night he came home
from a long spree, and went to bed
and slept quietly. This was CRATE
full circumstance, for his nights at
home were too often so noisy as to
suggest incipient mania. In the morn
ing he dressed, washed and sat down
to breakfast with the family. Then,
instead of his pipe, he found pocket
Bible and went out and sat under
tree to read. He read all day. He
seemed to have forgotten his drink
and his tobacco. His children won
dered. His wife watched him. cried
softly to herself, and whispered: GOD
help him!"
For six months Jacob spent most of
his time reading and meditating-and
gathering back his lost health and
strength. BY that time he had worn
ont one Bible and procured another.
Gradually and quietly he began to
speak of his changed feeling. and to
seek his old associates in dissipation
that he might carry to them the mes
sage Of redemption. They laughed
and called him "loony." Church-mem-
bers held aloof and distrusted him
when he asked their fellowship. AT

of his life. and told its cause-which
to him never ceased TO be miracle. I'm
a dream, that August night, he had
seen the Saviour.
The behavior of the renewed man
gas evidence enough of his sincerity.
1t was not until 35 years later that
he died, beloved and humble old
Christian, having outlived all his fam
lily and became totally blind.
If it was an imagined vision that
changed the sot into a saint. the fancy
was no less Divine visit. il was such
q dream as the Hebrew poet defines

Book of Job.-Youth's Companion.

Rum and Tobacco Flesh.

Speaking of the recent killing and
eating of two missionaries by canni-
balls of Fly river, Guinea, the Portland
Oregonian says: These sayages do
not eat missionaries because they have
any religious hostility for them as
preachers Of new faith; they only eat
them because, as non-consumers of
rum and tobacco. their flesh is far more
palatable than that of any other type
of white man. In the judgment of a
cannibal. the meat of a missionary is
better eating than anything else. ex-
cept the flesh Of young child. another

THE BRICKLAYER'S VISION.
Drunkard's Path Enters the Way of
Sobriety and Righteousness.

When the best moral results follow
an unusual or abnormal event. any
discussion of its natural or supernat-
ural agency cannot change the fact.
Many believe that there are messages
from Heaven more direct than the
written revelations; and the believers
are generally those whose experience
answers for their faith.
Eighty years ago, in a country town
of west New England, lived drunkard
locally known as "Distillery Struck ia
cob" In his early manhood he had
been thrifty, industrious and temper
ate, the husband and father of happy
family Both he and his young wife
had inherited some property. Jacob
the bricklayer had d good home, and
was looked upon as a rising man.
When he was about 25 years old the
offer Of a job on a distillery chimney
came to him, wish a promise of high
wages, as a skilled workman was
wanted. He accepted with some reluc-
tance, being an abstainer himself,
and disappearing the then almost uni
versal use of strong drink. While at
work on the job he acquired the taste
for liquor, through the example and
persuasions of his mates, and his down
ward career began.
Such is the story of the way he got
his name. For IL years "Distillery-
Struck Jacob" was n SOt He did no

WHEN THE HOGS DIE.
Are Caused by Dry and Con-
centrated Foods.

The time of the greatest fatality
among hogs is when they are COM
PEELED to subsist for any considerable
time on the dry and most concentrated
foods. says the Indiana Farmer. In all
experience that is the condition of the
greatest ailment in human life. When
the hogs are turned into the autumn
stubble fields and left TO CLEAN on the
dry. concentrated food there obtained,
il ever hog cholera or any other disease
occurs, that is the time, at least that is
so generally speaking. 1t IS not so
much because the seeds Of the disease
are more prevalent then, but because
the hog is forced into a condition which
makes him most susceptible TO the
seeds of disease more or less prevalent.
No animal, not even man, was ever in
tended TO subsist alone on dry, concen-
trated foods, and the human animal
knows too much 10 risk his health on
such conditions What the hog needs
along with these concentrated foods is
an occasional succulent ration. With
the abundant opportunity provided for
him. clover and rape and beets, arti-
chokes. and even silage. etc, there is no
reason why he should be abandoned to
the conditions which invite disease and
death. There is not month Of the
year when an occasional succulent ra-
ton could not be provided for the hog.
This, with pure water. would enable
him 10 resist and throw off the germs
of disease always prevalent, and sufii-
ciently frequent to kill when subjected
to conditions inviting death.
