A complaint among horses that has
almost become epidemic, and has in
some localities, is the collie. Veterin.
ary surgeons say the disease has not
been SO prevalent for years. 1t is at.

soft corn and musty, immature oats,
which have been such a plentiful pro-
duct this season. Fermentation of the
food ensues and then the msla-. nan
ifests itself.-Reporter.

The use of the Right Foot,

That the right foot is, like the right
hand, ordinarily more mobile and at
the same time stronger than the left
might be attributed to the more fire.
quent exertion Of this side were it not
that the popularity is said to extend
itself even to the constitution, and the
left extremities are asserted to be more
liable to disease than the right. The
more difficult movements in stage dane
ing are usually executed upon the right
foot, and it is generally considered
that unless double practice be accord
ed to the left leg an ungraceful prefer
ence for the right will be shown by
the dancers in their public perform
ances.
Most people tread more firmly with
the right than with the left foot. There
seems to be greater capacity for pro-
polling the body with the right foot.
From this the horseman springs, with
his left in the stirrup, and unless left
handed no boy in his play hops natu-
rally upon the left football Mall Ga

One Misery of Anslo-Indlan Life.

Every night at dinner the Anglo-In-
dian holds n kind of levee. The in
sects which attend dance gayly round
the lamp, and one has to watch ones
plate and glass carefully lest some Of
the insects should dance into them.
There is one insect--a little, fiat,
brown, shining creature-which emits
the worst odor in the world. If one of
these touches your food, the whole is
tainted and rendered inedible. You
dare not kill these pests, for If one be
squashed the whole room becomes
filled with its disgusting smell and Ia
uninhabitable for the next half hour.
So these abominable insects fly about
with impunity while the poor Anglo
Indian must perforce look helplessly
on and inwardly sigh "Spero meliora."
