See to the Horses Feet.

The horses feet should be frequent
1y examined, if he is to be protected
from such accidents as the picking up
of nails, glass and strips of metal of
various forms and sizes, says an ex-
change. The frequency with which
such accidents occur should cause in
creased vigilance on the part of those
that handle horses. If the horse steps
on a nail, even though the head be
up, he may catch it in a part of the
foot that forces it out of the rotten
board in which it was previously held.
The next step of the horse drives the
head of the nail further into it's rest
ing place in the foot. The point of the
foot that is most subject to such mis-
haps is the frog and the cleft just be-
hind the frog. Not only metal but
splinters of wood find their way into
this vulnerable region and become the
cause of pain to the horse. with sub
sequent lameness. 1t is fortunate for
the horse if the injury is such that he
shows lameness, thus leading to an in
vestigation of the feet and discovery
of the cause. But a good many times
the injury is not sufficiently great to
cause a show of lameness. but it is
great enough to cause pain to the poor
beast, and that for days at time.
frequently this is manifested by a
dis1nclination to rest the weight on
this foot when in the stable. In mo-
ton the pain is not sufficient to pre-
vent the horse putting his foot down
as usual. Such injuries are found for
the first time when the horse has tor be
rushed. Humanity should lead us to
frequently examine the feet to see that
all things are in normal condition.

The steady growth in the meat
packing industry is shown by the CEN
sus reports. In 1850 the amount of
capital invested in the meat packing
business was $3.4S2,5 500, which was
then considered a very large sum. BY
the last census this investment had
grown to $189,19S,z64- Fifty years ago
there were 185 establishments in
which meat packing was done; now
there are 921. Half century ago the
labor was done by 3,276 employees; in
1900 the number employed was 6S, ,534
Wages paid during the last census
year amounted to $50. 3.457,013 against
$1,231. .536 fifty years before. The value
OF the finished products had increased
from about $11 100000 to over 1885,
900, 900. The number of establishments
increased over that of half century
ago, but is less by 1000 than it was
ten years ago. This is due to the alb
sorption of the little plants by the
large packers.

SHIELDED CoMRADE WITH HIS OWN BODY.
hole dug in the side of the shaft about
midway between the top and the bot
tom, for protection. Here they were
safe from flying rocks and the concus-
sion of the blast.
On the morning of the fatal accident
they charged the drill holes with pow
der and tamped it down securely. 1t
was a process similar to loading big
bore muzzle loading gun. Then the
fuses were lighted, and both men
scrambled up the ladder out of harms
way. But somehow Garlick, who was
following close after Martin, missed
his footing and went crashing back
down the shaft landing with dull
thud at the bottom, a few feet from
the sputtering fuses.
Instantly realizing that his partner
must be seriously if not fatally injur-
ed, Martin rang for the bucket and
went to the rescue. Garlick was in
jured, SO badly injured that he could
not move. Martin tried to raise him
into the bucket; but, injured as he was,
Garlick was Il dead weight, and Mar
tins strength was not equal to the
task.
Then he started toward the burning
fuses to put them out, but one glance
showed him that they had already
burned too far. Turning swiftly, he
dragged Garlick under the lea of the
bucket and, bending over him to shield
his poor MANNED body. turned his BACK
on the blast. 1t came Immediately,
and with the deIuge Of rock and dirt
Martins light went out.
Cropping blindly in the darkness, he
again tried to raise his shiftmate into
the bucket before the next blast could
explode; but though he worked with
feverish energy, he could not raise
Garlicll high enough. With this sec
ond failure almost driving him to dis
traction and with the awful certainty
that it was only q miracle that could
save either of them from the second
explosion he again bent over the pros
1rate form of his comrade just as the
charge went off. This charge was
nearer. an | both men were battered
and bruised by Il mass Of flying de-
briS, but no bones were broken, and
then Martin rang for Succor, and out
of darkness into the light they raised
the crushed form of his dying shift
mate. But not once until death had
forever ended the tragedy did Martin
ave the man he had so heroically
lggled to save. 1t was a deed to
st Of for ages, but yet in his testi-
/ ny upon the witness stand he told
q plain, unvarnished tale, Il tale that
brought the tears and choking sobs
from those who heard it, but they
know that Joe Martin is real hero.

To Save a

COn1rade

Reno Star mine, in Nevada, was the
scene a few weeks ago Of an act al
most unparalleled in its exhibition of
noble courage and heroic self sacri-
fee Joe Martin and John Garlick
were at the bottom of the shaft when
the latter received injuries that re-
suited in death.
A fuse igniting q heavy blast of pow
der had just been lighted. Martin tried
to raise his injured comrade. The
bucket failed to work. There was no
time to extinguish the fuse. III this
dire extremity Martin placed himself
gquarely between his wounded part
ner and the blast. There was a ter
rife explosion. Martins escape was
marvellous. He was unscratched.
Then Martin worked like a Trojan to
get Garlick out of the mine, but too
late to save his life. Nevertheless he
had done a wonderful thing. But it is
absolutely certain that he would never
have said an. thing about it it the le-
gal grilling of the coroner had not
brought it all out, word for word, deed
by deed.
Martin and Garlick were shiftmates.
They worked together like brothers,
and worked, too, with an energy UNI
usual even among Woodworking min
ers. The sinking Of the shaft at the
Reno Star mine was proceeding rapid
~ from day to day, with Martin and
Garlick to do the blasting. After the
holes had been drilled, one on each
side of the shaft, to loosen up the
greatest amount of debris, the men
charged them heavily with powder and
then climbed to the safety station, a
