Seven years ago the State OF Illinois granted
to the Physicians Institute of Chicago charter.
There was need of something above the ordi-
nary method Of treatment for chronic diseases,
something moro than any ono specialist or any
number o. specialists acting independently
could do, so tho State Itself. under the powers
granted 1t by its general laws, gave the power to
the Physicians Institute to furnish to the sick
such help as would make them well and strong.
Ever since its establishment this Institute has
endoayorcd in every possible way to carry out
tho original purposes of its establishment under
the benehclent laws Of the State.
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,
realizing tho valuo of electricity in the treatment
of certain phases OF disease, created under the
superintendent of its staff of specialists an
electric belt and this belt has been proved to be
to time It has been improved until it reached
present name of "Supreme."

DeyelopInp the colt,

The future usefulness of the colt de-
pends upon nothing so much as the
iced during the first year of its life.
TO be useful in any way horse must
have good bones, and, above oil. good
joints. Bones are built, like the
rest of the body, from the feed con-
sumed by the young animal and II
the food does not contain the ele-
ments essential to the growth of bone
1t is evident that there will be weak
ness in this part of the organism. The
milk from the dam contains q large
proportion of the most necessary min
eral substances. such as lime; but the
colt seems to require much more In "a
short time and may be seen trying to
take occasional mouthfuls of soil.
Probably no materials at the farm
er's disposal contain more mineral
or bone forming material than bran
and oats, and the colt should have
plenty of these and good clover hay
from the start. It is quite safe. as a
of these concentrates mixed, per diem
as soon as the colt can be taught TO eat
them, and this may be gradually in
creased, and character should be close
ly studied, however, and the ration
euaged daccordingly. These concentrates
and clover hay, being rich in protein
or flesh forming material induce rapid
tendon as well as bone, and the right
kind Of feed. and nature will do the
rest, so far as bodily development Is
concerned.-J. II. Griswold, of the
Canadian Experiment Station.

Crowns of the Edwards.

Not one of the Edwards was
crowned with his queen in Westmin-
ster Abbey, except the first king of
that name, and it is furthermore re-
r.arkable that the coronation of Ed
ward and Queen Eleanor was the first
that took place in the present Abbey
Of Westminster. King Edward ii was
crowned alone, for he was not mar
ried at the time OF mis- succession;
the third Edward was a boy of IA
when he was crowned; Edward w
was unmarried at the time of his
coronation; Edward V. though he was
born in the abbot's house at West
minister, where his mother had fed
for sanctuary, and was so nearly
crowned tina, even wild fowl for the
coronation banquet had been ordered.
was never actually crowned, and Ed
ward vi was a boy of 10 when the
cermony was performed. Hence. from
the auspicious' occasion upon which
the good Queen Eleanor went to West
minister Abbey with her husband until
the present day, no Edward has been
crowned with his wife.-London

The growth of Berlin the last ten
years has been phenomenal. Chicago
is the only one of the worlds great
cities that has increased in population
at so rapid rate. and 1t Is a question
as to whether it or Berlin now has
the more people.
A census taken very recently gives
Berlin population Of 1901 ,5s7, which
makes 1t tie fourth city in the world
according TO the records, being exceed
ed in population only by London, New
York and Paris.
In 1900 Chicago had 1,S43, COO people
The Chicago newspapers claim that its
population is now larger than Berlin's.
In 1890 the United States became the
only country with three cities of more
than 100000 population each, and
still holds that distinction with New
York, Chicago and Philadelphia.
Should Bostons grand plans of ter
ritorial expansion and annexation be
carried out fourth city will be add
ed to this before the next census is
taken. and st. Louis will probably not
be far below the million mark.
The growth of our cities has sur
prised the nations, but it is a pity
that it has been accomplished to such
n great extent by draining the rural
districts and the small towns.
In the south the growth of urban
and rural population has been remark
ably proportionate, fact which speaks
well for this part Of the country

A Bee Census,

The last census figures showing

become available. From this source
it Is learned that the total number OF
farms maintaining bees in 707 1881, rep
resenting 4.109,62G swarms. The value
of these four million odd swarms is
estimated to be s10,183,513. The
apiary industry shows increased ac-
tivity in some sections of country and
II notable decrease in others. The ag-
gregate figures show loss in the pro-
duction of honey. indicating that fran.
ers are now devoting more attention
to the production of the latter. The
value of the G1, ,196,610 pounds of honey
and the 1.755.315 pounds OF wax pro
duced by the country's bee swarms
during a year is estimated to be &c.

SPEED OF THE CARRIER PIGEON.
Blue Rocks Travel at the Rate Of s2.s
Miles Per Hour.

Some years ago Grifit made some
observations in closed gallery on the
speed attained by blue rock" pigeons
and English pheasants and partridges.
The two first mentioned few at the
rate OF only 1928 miles per hour, while
the partridge made but 2SA miles, and
these rates were considerably in ex-
cess OF what they made in the open.
The carrier pigeon is a rather fast
Tying bird. yet the average speed is
not very great. Thus. the average
made in 1s matches (The Field Jan
uary 22, 1sS7), was only 36 English
miles an hour, although in two of
these trials a speed of about sc miles
was maintained for four successive
hours. In this country the average
racing speed is apparently about SO
miles an hour. although few excep-
tionally rapid birds have made short
distance flights az the rate of from As
to SO miles an hour. The longest re-
corded flight of carrier pigeon was
from Pensacola. Fla. to Fall River,
Mass. an airline distance Of 1,1S3
miles. made in 15lS days, or only
about 16 miles n day.

But last winter we had shortage of

they were fed a ration OF meal and

We fed the millet for the morning ra-

When they were about half winter

hay instead for three days. Then

thirds of hay for their morning meal
and had no more trouble; but the lamb

Sheep when ailing often are cured
by change of diet. Sheep require
plenty of water to do well. There is
nothing that will deteriorate a flock
of sheep SO badly and so quickly as
being deprived Of plenty of good

water they will drink many times
