How Horses Catch Fatal Diseases.

Persons who fancy that horse can
get his feet wet with impunity are In
error, according to local veterinary
surgeon. This mans practice is con-
fined principally to public cab horses,
and for the last ten days he has been
up night and day in attending cases
of spinal meningitis. All of them, he
declares, have been caused by the pa
tents standing in the snow and sIush,
with which the. streets have been COW
ered'
There are few abuses to which the
horse is subjected" said this doctor,
more disastrous than leaving him for
any length of time in snow that is
even fetlock deep. If 1t does not
bring on spinal meningitis it is almost
certain to result in acute laminitis or
founder Pavements on which salt
has been sprinkled to melt the ice or
snow are particularly dangerous. The
salt when it becomes saturated plays
the mischief with horses hoof.

tremely valuable animal it is put out
of its suffering as soon as the disease

jumped down to the captains as
sistance, and both my legs slipped
through, SO that the animal had a
pretty good larder within reach.
Fortunately, sailor punched him
in the mouth with a broom-handle,
making him release the captains foot,
and enabling us to take ourselves into
place of safety. This experience
quite cured Captain Gray of playing
the part of bear-tamer.
Happily, the bear had fixed in. the
foot only the canine teeth on one side
of his jaw, and so had not got firm
hold; but these teeth had torn through
the flesh, and the captain was lame for
two months afterward. He had a
lucky escape, as he might have had
his leg torn off had the bear secured
a firm grip.
Without any further excitement our
prize was safely landed at Peterhead
in September. when he again nearly
broke loose in being removed from the
ship.-Youth's Companion.

The Wrong Letter.

Letters of introduction are not in
variably servicable. For one reason,
they may be too frank. Harry Fur
Miss, in his Confessions of Garcia
turist," says that when a brother
artist was setting forth on his travels
in foreign chimes, he was provided
with letter of introduction to a GER
tain British consul.
The writer of the letter enclosed It
in one to the artist, saying that he
would fad the consul a most arrant
snob, bumptious, arrogant humbug,
cad to the backbone. Still, he would
probably offer some courtesies to any
one who had a good social standing,
and thus compensate the traveller for
| having come in contact with such an
insufferable vulgarian.
On the return of the artist to Eng
land, the writer of the letters asked
how he had Jared with the consul.
well. my dear fellow" drawled the
artist, ''he did not receive me very
warmly, and he did not ask me to din
ner. In fact he struck me as being
rather COOL"
We'll. you surprise me-" rejoined
his friend. Hes cad, as told you
in my letter, but he's very hospitable,
and really can't understand this state
of things. You gave him my letter

room they came upon a space which
sounded hollow. The wall there was
of brick, but the husband got a pick,

an opening. when they came upon an
array of silver spoons and forks, cake

lived in the next flac came in to know
why in thunder they had broken into

CURIOUS AMERICAN CHARACTER.
James Jesse Strange, the. Michigan
Usurper and His Ways.

The curious American character Is
the subject OF an article in the Cen
fury, from which we take the opening
paragraphs:
The fact that about fifty years ago
kingdom was established on Beaver
Island, at the foot of Lake Michigan,
which fourished for seven years, in
defiance of our government and its
laws. Is one of the episodes in our
national life which has not yet pass
ed into history, and is consequently
unfamiliar to most of the present gen.
Grafton.
The strange story of this isolated
Mormon community centers around
the strong personality of the self
constituted king.
James Jesse Strang was born in
the year 1913, in Cayuga County, New
York. The son of farmer, he had
only the ordinary education of
country lad of that period, but as he
was an indefatigable reader and pos
sessed a retentive memory, he was
constantly adding to his store of
knowledge. He early took promi-
nent part in rural debating clubs and
temperance meetings, where he show
ed marked oratorical ability. He
was extremely voluble, self-conceited,
and visionary, but was regarded as a
promising youth. entirely reputable
in character, though eccentric. At the
age of twenty-three he was admitted
to the bar, and, in connection with
mis- practice of the law, filed accepta-
bly,, at various times, the positions
of editor, schoolmaster, lecturer, and
postmaster.
At the time when the remarkable
career of Joseph Smith, the Mormon
prophet" was drawing toward its
close, Strang removed with his young
wife to Burlington, Wisconsin, where
he became one of firm of attorneys.
Previous to this he had been inter
ested in the preaching of itinerant
elders from Nauvoo, the Mormon CEN
ter, and In his new home he soon fell
under the same influence; his active
imagination was stimulated by the So
called revelations" of Smith to
espouse some of the doctrines of the
Latter-Day Saints. One year later he
visited Nauvoo, where he became an
easy convert to the belief that not
alone spirital blessings but earthly
honors would be the reward of mem
bershfp among the faithful. The as
tute leader, Smith, undoubtedly recog-
niZed valuable material In the we'll
informed, eloquent and ambitious at
torney; his arguments were so con-
vincing that in few weeks Strang
was again at Nauvoo, where he re-
ceived baptism, and was ordained as
an elder with authority to organize a
church, or, in their phraseology,
plant a stake of Zion," within the
limits of Wisconsin.

carnecie's Gift Abused.

From speech delivered by Princi-
pal Story at the annual conference OF
the students councils of Scottish uni
versities, it appears that Mr.. Car
negie's recent gift is being abused.
donor intended to give poor students
free education. So far the scheme
has been an unqualified success. The
advantages have. however, been util.
lied by other and less needy students,
who can well afford to pay the fees.
Principal Story, in referring to the
matter. said that the best remedy
was the creation of healthy public
opinion among undergraduates. If
this were formed there would be no
more complaint as to the abuse of Mr..
Carnegie's gift by people for whom 1t
was not ntended.-London Express.

No Sails in suez Canal.

Consul General Long reports from
Cairo, in reply to an inquiry from the
department relative to the extent OF
the Suez canal Is used by sailing yes
sells, that Comte Charles de Serionne
superior agent I'm Egypt Of the Sue7
Canal Company, has given him the fol
lowing information:
mo sailing vessels have crossed
the canal since 1874 or 1875, except
during the time of the Turko-Russian
war of 1S77-7S. At that time sailing
vessels arrived from Calcutta with In,
dian troops; but for the last ten years
no sea-going sailing vessel has crossed
the canal. Sometimes trains of coal
and materials, treated by the Sue2
Canal Company as sailing vessels
with the object of collecting the tow
ing duties, have crossed the canal, but
no sailing vessel engaged In high-sea
navigation has crossed 1t within the
period named.
"The absence of sailing vessels in
the canal is explained by the difficult
ties of navigation in the Red Sea. The
extraordinary number of sailing yes
sells lost in the Red Sea, (Which is
full of dangerous reefs and shoals)
during the years 1S72-73 seems to have
effectually discouraged further at
tempts. The officials of the Suez
Canal Company believe that the con
struction of the canal. which was
opened to navigation in 1869, has been
an impetus to steam navigation
throughout the world."-New Yorl
Times.

AGRICULTURE IN SIBERIA.
American Farming Machinery Has
Aided in Increasing Production.

Richard T. Greener. United States
commercial agent at yladivostock, ST.
IBERIA, has submitted report on agri-
| culture and farm machinery in East
ern Siberia, which in part is as fol-
! lows:
"Enoch Emory came to Siberia from
Cape Cod forty years ago. He was
the pioneer American merchant, and
now has stores at Nikolaefsk, Hab-
arofsk, Blagoveschensk. and Moscow.
Gov. Grodekoff said that he had in
creased the working force of the Amur
territory 10000 men by the introduce
ton of American labor-saving ma
chinery. Most of the supplies under
! the head of emigrant stores are fur.
nished to the local government by
him.
american agricultural machines
have enjoyed such an established repu-
tation that it has long been paying
business to initiate them. The COM
plant now is that many cheap and in
ferior machines, mostly made in Ger
many from American models, are on
the market. Since : the retaliatory
tariff took effect, Feb. Z (20), 1907,
many American machines come via
Germany, it Is asserted all American
marks being carefully obliterated.
| "At present there is no great de-
mand for American machinery. The
marked Is well stocked, crops are bad.
money is scarce, the government Is
closing down on credit, and the con-
dition Of the Siberian peasant farmer
is deplorable. Efforts are being made
to teach the peasant how to farm. In
the United States the foreign immi-
! grant learns by everyday example
rather than by theory. The Siberian
peasant is net used to severe and un-
remitting labor; he has few wants and
many holidays. Lately some highly
colored reports have reached us from
America as to what Siberia was cap
able of doing in an agricultural way.
1t is suggested that American flour
mills on the Pacific coast will soon be
closed in consequence of the millions
of acres here ready to be devoted to
CcTCdiS. AL uuCtItu-u CilHldtc, luipCl-
feet machinery, and unreliable labor
are not factors for successful compe-
tition with the United States.
Notwithstanding the cheap trans
portation offered emigrants and the
development of virgin soils, famine
seems a periodical visitor. and it is
here today. The central governments
are literally besieged with clamors for
bread, for medicine, for work. grain.
hay-anything. Tomsk, Perm, Ker-
son, Yaronej. Khalkinsk, all join in
| this demand. It Is safe to say that
the United States need have no inn
mediate fear of competition from this
quarter, whether it be in grain or ma
chinery, canned goods or cotton goods,
production of gold, OF building of
ships. The new tariff has caused a
rise in the price of all necessaries. It
has made imperative an imperial ukase

the interior one months pay. The ap-
preparation has already been made"

Holding the Breath.

1t may seem harsh treatment, but
prompt measures are necessary if one
would cure child of the troublesome
and dangerous habit Of holding it's
breath when screaming from anger or
fright AS soon as It holds its breath
again sprinkle its face with very cold
water, increasing the amount as need
ed to produce the desired effect. The
sudden shock will, no doubt, cause
it to catch its breath at once, and a
few repetitions will probably effect a
permanent cure. Perseverance may
be needed, however. If so, persevere.
1t may not only cure the dangerous
habit of h6ding the breath. but at the
same time cure the fits of screaming
that lead to this practice.

They'd be some outlaws sneak in

That long-legged clerk to death and
then the band
Would steal her, and nobody else
would dare
70 try to save her, and they'd run
away
To where they had their cave, and

And asst more for her than her folks

Then would get gun and bowie

And take the name of Buckskin Bob

And track them to their den, and
then I'd go
A-gally whoopin' in, and save her life,
And she would say: "My hero's
came at last"
And we'd stand there and hold each
other last
My darling, often when you set and
think
OF things that seem to kind of
bother you,
You put your pencil in your mouth
and chew
Around the wood, and let your sweet
teeth sink
Down In it till it's all marked up and
split,
And yesterday seen you when you
49, threw
A stub away that you'd bit up; it
flew
Behind the bookcase, where I gobbled
1t.
put It in my mouth, the way you'd
done,
And / could feeI the little holes
you made
The places where your teeth sunk
in--I laid
Wy tongue tight up against them,

And shut my eyes and then you
seemed to be
There with your lips on mine and
