Manue of the Horse.

The horse may be infected with any
of the three groups of mango para
sites. With the exception of the SYM
biotic mango, which is usually To-
Gated about the pastern joints, the
disease is most commonly seen on
the sides of the neck, base of the tail
or on the inner sides Of the limbs.
The mite is so small as to be easily
overlooked in making an examination.
If the mites are present they may be
seen by placing pieces Of crusts and
scabs on dark paper when the small
lighter-colored mites may be seen.
With the exception of mango of the
pastern joint the disease is very diff
cult to cure in the horse unless it is
stopped in the early stages. Sulphur
ointment and washes with tobacco in
fusions are effective remedies, but
usually several applications are neces-
.sary. Carbolated glycerin or vase
line containing ten per cent Of car
bolic acid are good remedies as they
soften the skin and at the same time
kill the mites. As a precaution
against spreading the. disease to
healthy stock harness, saddles, blan-
kets, ETC., that have been used on the.
diseased animal should not be allowed
to come in scontact with other stock. -

One Way Of Spreading Charlton.

If all danger ended with the ex-
piring breath of charbonous animals,
all would be we'll, as is perhaps often
thought to be the case by many
stock owners; unfortunately this is
not so, but on the other hand, the
dead animal is, through its infected
blood and tissues, the most danger
GUS source of future infection. An
outbreak generally starts with one
dead animal that has caughtDthe in
lection from grazing over pasture that
has been previously contaminated by
the discharges from a charbonous
carcass. With the myriads of blood
sucking flies surcharged with the
germ-infected blood of this first vic
tim, they are now prepared to start
the deadly work of inoculating healthy
but susceptible animals. There are
many other agencies that are capable
of transmitting the virus, in fact any,
thing that can carry charbonous blood
can do it, but we believe that the
horsefies, and perhaps other blood
sucking insects, are more responsible
for the extensive spread or this dis
ease in our state than all other
agencies combined, which opinion
will, we think, be borne out by any
careful observer familiar with this
plague. But, provided there were no
charbonous carcasses left exposed,
then the chief source from which the
various transmitting agencies pro-
cure their deadly freight would not
exist, and NECESSARILY" It could not Sc
carried. If we were asked our opin-
inon as to the most important factors
in producing our periodic outbreaks
or epizootics Of Charlton in Louis
lana, we would say, unhesitatingly,
first, original victims that have been
carelessly hauled out and left ex-
posed. Second, horse-flies to convey
the charbonous blood from the re-
Gently dead animal to healthy stock.

BOATS BEFORE THE ARK.
Paintings In Egypt show That Noah
Did Not Invent Ships.

Patnttngs In Egypt show That Noah
Did Not Invent Ships.
It Is popularity supposed that Noah's
ark Ii the first ship Of which we have
any record, but Egypt, that land Of
mysteries and surprises, shows paint
ings of boats that were built and na<i-
gated at far earlier period than 2S40
B. c., which is the date usually as
signed to the food. 1t may have been
one of her boats thus pictured that pro-
vided Noah and his three sons with
proper model for the ark, though the
proportions must have been different or
fewer animals must have existed.
j. de Morgan, the French EgyptOlo-
gist several years ago discovered In
brick vavlts near Cairo number Of
boats that are certainly as old as the
date Mt which the ark was built and
perhaps bit older. They are, 1t Is
true, but small craft, measuring 33 feet
long, Z or wide and 80 to SO inches
deep. They resemble in general form
the pictures painted by early Egyp-
tan artists, which show what boats
were used seventy and even eighty CEN
turtles ago. And today when the fellah
steps aboard his small oar propelled
skiff he uses a vessel the shape Of
which has been little impoved during
the ages that have passed since the
shepherd kings ruled the valley of the
Nile.-Philadelphi North American.

HowrHe CHINESE GET RAIN
Peculiar Practices In Vogue In the
Celestial Kingdom.

Peculiar Practices In Vogue In the
Celestial Kingdom.
It is one Of the peculiarltfes Of the
Chinese that, while they have develop
ed elaborate PHILOSOPHERS, none Of them
has led to any confidence In the uni
formity of nature. Neither the people
nor their rulers have any fixed opinion
as to the causes Of rainfall. The plan
in some provinces when the need Of
rain Is felt IL to borrow a god from a
nelghborIng district and petition him
for the desired rain. II his answer is
satisfactory, he is returned to his home
with every mark of honor; otherwise
he may be put out In the sun as a hint
to wake up and do his duty. A bunch
Of willow is usually thrust into his
hand, rs willow is sensitive to mois-
ture.
Another plan In extensive use Is the
building of special temples In which
are wells containing several iron tab
lets. When there Is q scarcity Of rain,
q messenger starts out with tablet
marked with the date of the journey
and the name Of the district making
the petition. Arriving at another city,
he pays sum Of money and is allow
ed to draw a new tablet from the well,
throwing in his own by way Of ex-
change. On the return journey he is
supposed to eat only bran and travel
at top speed day and night. Some
times he passes through districts as
greatly in need Of rain as his own.
Then the people in these places way
lay him and, temporarily borrowing his
tablet, get the rain intended for anoth-
er place.
Prayers are usually made in the fifth
and sixth months when the rainfall Is
always due, and limit Of ten days
is set for their effective operation. Un-
der such conditions rain usually falls
during the prescribed time. When the
prayers are In progress, the umbrella,
among other objects, comes under the
ban. In some provinces foreigners
have been mobbed for carrying this
harmless article at that time.

Birds Are Like Human Beings,

Canaries, like human beings, vary
very much In character. some cocks be-
ing so indifferent and idle that they
will let the hen do all the work OF
building and rearing, while they them
selves sit and plume their feathers.
Others, again, are perfect gentlemen In
their manners, waiting on the hen with
a quiet courtesy and seeing that all she
requires is at once brought to her.
Again, the hens vary in disposition,
some hens behaving In q quiet, modest
way, attending to their young ones

them every time they go near. Thus
