Preventing Abortion.

A good deal has been said on sew
eral occasions in this department re-
garding the subject of contagious
abortion and its prevention, but many
seem to consider the work of stopping
an outbreak too much to undertake.
II strikes us that although there is in
deed deal of work entailed in carry
ing out systematic attack on conta-
gious abortion, it pays for the trou-
ole and should in every instance be
engaged in thoroughly. Some say that
carbolic acid cannot we'll be given to
cattle When going upon grass, as the
ANIMALS cannot be drenched without
stabllng, but one man at least has got
around this difficulty by mixing car
pollc acid in salt and allowing cattle
TO lick the mixture at will He says
tnat This plan has given as good re-
suits as drenching, and we would adj
wise our readers to try it when there
is need of the medicine. The acid
should be mixed In the salt in the pro-
portion of one and one-half drachms
OF acid to one pound of salt If the
cattle will take a suff1ciency of this
mixture to get enough carbolic acid, It
is a good plan, but if they do not care
Tor 1T, then it would be necessary to
give the customary preventive dose
(Which is half drachm twice daily
every other day. mixed in food or as a
orench in water. At the same time 1t
is to be remembered that the carbolic
acid treatment is not sufficiently re-
liable to do away with the advisabillLy
OF other treatment. AS the germ may
enter the body at the vagina it is nee
essary to sponge the vulva, tail and
hind quarters occasionally and the Oft
ener the better in bad outbreaks, and
also to treat the sheath Of the bull in
the same way. The latter treatment is
imperative for the reason that the bull
when allowed to serve a COW that has
aborted and suffered discharge or re-
tentlon of the afterbirth will be about
certain to transmit the germ of the
disease to other COWS subsequently
served by him. The injections of the
sheath are to be made by means of a
fountain syringe or long rubber hose
and funnel and the mixture to be used
for the purpose is the same as applied
to the vulva, viz: $1,000 solution
OF chloride of zinc Two gallons CT
this solution should also be used once
daily as an injection for vagina of cow
suffering from discharge

The Horseless Age Not Yet.

Some years ago, when the bicycle
business was enjoying it's greatest
prosperity, it was very common for
amateur prophets to predict the
"horseless age" Every one seemed
about to discard the horse forever. But
the excitement proved of short dura-
ton, and the horse came again into
favor. But since that time the export
trade for American horses has very
largely grown up, and the home de-
mand has also steadily increased. In
1893, the prices for horses were very
low. This fact in itself was the start
ing point of an upward movement.
The low prices proved an attraction to
foreign buyers, and our horses began
to go abroad in sufficient numbers to
Offset the imports. In 1895 for the first
time in many years the foreign trade
showed favorable balance. In that
year about $4,000 horses were imported
and like number exported From
1884 to 1895 we imported 442,450 horses,
an average of $3.50 per year. During
the same time we exported 45,940, an
average of 1928 per year. The annual
balance in animals against us was
about $4,000. After 1895 the number
of horses annually imported fell of
rapidly, dropping to 1891 in 1896; to
6998 in 1897, and thereafter being lit
tie in excess Of 5000 per year. In the
meantime exports increased as fol-
lows: 1896, 25,126; 1897, 1852; 1898,
51,150; 1899, 45,778; 1900, 64,722; 1901.
S2,250. These figures apply to horses
only. The trade in mules has grown
more rapidly proportionately than has
that of horses. In 1898 we sent abroad
over 5000 mules. and the next year
over 5000. In 1900 the number ex-
ported was 43.36e, and in 1901 1t was
34,4O5. In seven years we have sent
abroad 429.075 horses and mules.
Meanwhile the demand at home has
been vigorous and is increasing. Veri
ly the horseless age is not yet.

THE PoPE's WILL.
Document Drawn Up When His Holiness
Was 81 Years Old.

Document Drawn Up When His Holiness
Was FL Years Old.
1t is not generally known that the
Pope made will as long ago as 1887.
A copy Of the document is before ma
1t reads:
I leave my soul in the hands of God
and Of the blessed Mary. l institute
as the heirs of my property my dear
brothers, Charles and John Baptist, in
equal shares, enjoining upon them to
have fifty masses said for the benefit
Of my soul each year for period OF
five years, after which time they will
be relieved Of this duty, although
recommend myself to their love and
charity to help my soul still further
also impose upon them the duty OF
distributing twenty scudi each year
to the most needy poor of Carpinoto,
my native town. l bequeath to my
Uncle Anthony, as token of my re-
spect and affection, the porcelain SER
vice, which His Eminence,, Cardinal
Sala, presented to me-"
This was made when the Pope was
only 81 years old and at time when
his health was so poor that he did not
expect to survive many months. Yet
he has outlived every man of his time,
every associate of his youth, every
Cardinal that belonged to the Sacred
College when he was elevated to it.

Chinese Dental Methods.

Some interesting specimens Of
Chinese dentistry have recently been
shipped to Philadelphia by DR.. P. T.
Darlington Of Bankok, Siam, who pre-
sented them to the University of Penn
sylvania. The consignment, which
is now on exhibition in the Dental
museum, incluoes two pairs of crudely
made forceps, used by the Chinese in
extracting teeth, and many other
specimens Of the dental profession,
among which are some artificial teeth
carved from ivory. Some of the speci-
mems presented by DR.. Darlington
which have attracted particular atten-
ton among PENIS dental students are
several teeth affected by betel-nut
chewing, which works such great
havoc with the teeth of orientals
"A model illustrating the practice
among the Siamese of mutilating their
teeth by filing, is also among the col
lection.

time. anu II their eagerness was any
gauge to their capacity for doing
harm, Rhinelander must be in a bad
way indeed.
Luckily for him they were mere
tyros with the trenchant blades they
welded so. clumsily, and he believed
himself easily capable of mastering
them without trouble.
At the same time the chances of
his being able to escape, once this
were done, grew very dubious, since
the French were gathering about the
scene of the singular duel, always
eager to watch any feat of arms out of
the ordinary run.
They saw a spectacle that was not
likely to come their way every day,
for Paul kept his adversaries guess
ing, and parrying all manner of mag
mary attacks until at length he saw
his chance to retire one of. them with
thrust through the shoulder.
After that his work was easy
enough.
He set upon the second officer, rat
tied his sword with quick tierce and
thrust and used him up so generally
that he finally lost his nerve, when
quick upward blow sent his blade rat
Ting away, and left him unarmed at
the mercy Of his foe.
Just then, however, Paul was not in
humor to decide whether to call the
affair off or pink his jealous antago-
mist as an earnest of victory.
Truth to tell he had about all he
wanted to take care of in looking out
for himself.
There was about one chance in ten
that he might escape as his comrades
had done, by beating hasty retreat
over the edge of the ramparts.
Paul was not the man to hesitate
and lose valuable time in calculating
chances. Accordingly he whirled on
his heel, made a mock bow to those
who had just witnessed his remark
able fight, which compliment surely
Frenchmen should appreciate, and
then made headlong break for the
edge of the ramparts, intending to
throw himself down regardless of mi
nor damage, since it was his one
chance to get clear.
So vast had been the number Of
troops pressing forward to have
share in the engag cement that his way
was blocked
Finding his escape cut off in the
direction of the wall, he changed his
mind and decided that only mad
man or one utterly desperate would
continue to advance in that quarter,
and his situation did not call for such
needless sacrifice since as prisoner
he would'be liberated when the French
surrendered.
Again he turned and made dash in
an opposite quarter, hardly knowing
what lay ahead of him, yet DESTROYS
of evading capture.
Then his passage was blocked-guns
threatened him, the shining bayonets
being within foot of his throat.
1t was all up, at least SO far as es.
cape was concerned, and Paul was
forced to admit this with grunt of
disgust. So he dropped the point OF
his sword to the ground as a sign of
yielding, and made no resistance when
they disarmed him.
A misute later he regretted his help
lessness more than words could tell,
for the French officer came and sur
veyed him with grim contemptuous
mien, and Paul recognized his cid foe
man, Conrad Hoffman

kitzmeYer Wins

Yesterday Judge Mack put in the day
listening to the lawyers in the case
OF Kitzmeyer vs. Ouilette. in which
kitzmeyer sued to recover the sum of
$50 and a note for $40.
kitZmeyer had agreed to purchase
the animal under the belief that it
was sound. but after paying the first
named sum he found that the animal
had a number Of defects that was
not stated before the transaction. The
Judge. after hearing all OF the testi-
mony, decided that the animal should
be returned; the money to be return
ed to Kitzmeyer also the note. but
that each pay his own notary fees
and kitZmeyer the clerks costs, and
sale rescinded and of no effect
/ During the suit Sam Platt repre-
scented the Ouileette brothers and jim
! Sweeney Kitzmeyer. Both came prim-
! ed to the gunnel with horse knowled-
ge Sam took the first swing at the
court. He doomed up with a big black
book that purported to tell the differ
ence between bone SPAWN and the
CHAMBERS. AS he read the symptoms
he concluded that the animal was
sound as nut, and the only thing the
matter with her was the price ana the
book gave no cure tor that.
Sweeney also doomed up with trea
tise of Eeyacular disorders of the
horse. and when he finished it was
found that the animal had every dis
ease that is chronicled from the heat
to the heel. There was not a SOUND
bone in the animal and nf left alone
she would need props. After the suit
some of the boys decided that jim:
book was a wonder and so made
sneak to gather in the valued docu
ment, which proved to be a pamphle
giving the curative qualities of Pc
runa.

DEFEATS JUSTICE
Tracey The Outlaw Blows Out
His Brains

SAN FRANCISCO, August 6.-Tra-
cy, the murderer, who has been giving
the authorities such q hard chase for
the past eight weeks, killed himself
in a wheat field in the eastern part of
Washington today He was discover
ed in the field by sheriff's posse, and
seing that there was no chance for es-
cape, blew out his brains. He had
been closely followed for the past
twenty-four hours and was driven to
the field partially for water and cover.
Had he been in any place where a
fight could have been made there is no
doubt but that blood would have been
split, as his desperate deeds have
made the bravest of officers cautions
in their dealings with him. His rec
ord since he escaped from the peniten-
tiary has ben an exceedingly bloody
one, and by his self destruction he has
cheated the gallows and the revenge
of a number of mon who have been
following his trail.

cmeLtAR. SHAFT SINKS
caIIows Frame and Building
Out of Sjuht

The upper portion Oh the Chollar |
shaft caved in at 4:45 o'clock this |
morning, wrecking the eastern or for |
ward part OF the main hosting works
building and the machine shop on the
north side and part of the floor of the
carpenter shop on the south side. The
noise of grinding, creaking timbers
aroused residents of the vicinity, who
were soon on the ground viewing the
wreck.
About fifteen feet Of the forty foot
gallows frame is showing above the
mouth of the shaft, while the flooring
as far back as the steam hoist plant
has partially disappeared in the yawn
ing abyss below. Included in the
wreckage visible from the surface is
a chair on which the night Waterman
usually sat. The engine was on solid
ground and was not injured. The ca
BILE reels were pulled out of place and
the machinery out of line by the shock
of the caving ground. The forward or
eastern part of the roof of the main
building is also badly bent inward.
The ground for ten or fifteen feet
in front of the hosting works is bad
ly caved due to the fact that it was
made ground or filings from cave
that occurred many years ago. The
caving in or settling OF the ground was
not unexpected, as the creakinS tim
bers have been giving warning that
something of the kind would Ocur at
any time 1t was also known that the
timbering of the underground stations
of which there are six between the col
lar of the shaft and 900 level, were in
an advanced stage OF decay and were
liable to collapse at any time, which
would result in the ground caving from
above An inspection made OF the
first station below the surface through
the tunnel below the waste dump, dis
closed that it is filled with wreckage
and to the collapse OF this station is
probably due the caving Oh the ground
about the shaft. and further caves may
be looked for when the stations below
the first one collapse. which they are
sure to do at no distant date.
The accident will not interfere with
work in the Chollar and Potosi, which
is conducted through surface TUNE

TOUGH ON RENO
California Divorced People Can
Marry at Home

SAN FRANCISCO, August an
decision handed down today by JUS
tice Garoutte, of the Supreme Court of
California, and concurred in by JUS
tees Mcfarland and Henshaw, the
marriage of divorced persons in Re-
no, Nevada, or elsewhere, within one
year OF the granting of the divorce in
this State, is legal, it being the opin-
ion of the court that the legislative law |
forbidding such marriages within a |
year of the filling of the decree was
not properly drawn up because it does
not make the granting of absolute di-
vorce a matter of a year delay.
The Supreme Court holds that under
the law the divorce is absolute as
soon as the decree is recorded. This
ruling of the Court legaliZes hundreds
of marriages which have been solemn

escaping the clause in the California

divorced parties can wed again.
The Legislature could have framed
a law says The opinion, that would
have made absolute divorce a mat
ter OF years delay; but they did not,
and they did not seem to desire to
do so. The section of the statutes OF
the sttues deals with the divorced peo-
pie, not with the divorce
Ii the decree is not absolute these
two could not re-marry. If absolute
they can marry whom they please.
That is the logic OF the decision.
The divorce can not be absolute
as to each other. but not divorced as to
any one else.
