ceased himself could rise up and tell
tales. many a suit Of these kinds would
be thrown out OF court. A variation
on a rather familiar swindle has just
been unearthed in Chicago. An express
company received one day recently 90
packages from a small town in Illinois
charges on each one of s540 c. o. d.
S. far there was nothing extraordinary
Suspicion was only aroused when the
drivers on delivering the packages found
that none of the addresses was alive
The bereGyed family in each case opened
the parcel and found a small bottle OF

where the work is highly subdivided
though they would be detected at once
by the combined teller and bookkeeper
In the country depository. so. In the
hands of the express company with a
hundred drivers and hundred clerks at
one station, there was good chance
that the number Of packages sent to
dead men would not be remarked. 1t
was sheer good fortune that by the time
80 of the so packages had been delivered,
the peculiar circumstance was reported
to the superintendent. He stopped the
remainder of the packages. telegraphed
to the point Of shipment, and promised
that the money should be refunded to
those who had been victimized. The re-
port from the home of the drug company
revealed depth Of depravity In the
promoters even in their private relations.

The annual free excursion of Ram
sey county farmers to the agricultural
college at Fargo will leave on No. s,

r, Sunday, July 10th. President
Worst has requested the Inter-Ocean
to select 25 delegates, and suggests
that all those desiring to attend this
excursion send in their names to the
Inter Ocean. If there are more than
rs applicants, to select the required
number by lot. This will be done by
writing the names Of each applicant
on a slip of paper and have someone
blindfolded take one slip at a time out
Of a hat. The first 25 names SO
selected will constitute the delega-'
tlon. Mr. Worst insists that only
those who have not attended any pre-
vious excursion are eligible.
Send in your names, and come in
July 18th and see that the drawing is
absolutely fair, and if you are select
ed, be prepared to leave on the 4

stalls, blankets, feed troughs, water
pals, pitchforks and c,'rrycombs. A
horse cannot go aboard until he has
received a clean bill of health from
a veterinary surgeon who represents
the bureau, while the attendants
who sail with the animals must make
affidavit that they are all practical
horsemen. Uncle Sam also sees to
it that the horses, whether they are
poor beasts of burden or rich racers,
receive proper r%ations. They get all
the hay they want, the thorough
breds receiving extras in the shape
of bran mash mixed with oats, fax
seed meal and oatmeal, with corn in
cold weather.
Some of the box stalls are built on
the main deck with powerful fans to
produce ventilation. The old plan Of
"slinging' a horse aboard a steamer
has been done away with, big gang
planks having been substituted. A
thousand horses can now walk
aboard in the same time it used to
take to get an animal onto the deck
by means Of a sling. When one of
the Atlantic Transport liners lands
a load of horses on the other side
they are put into the company's
stables on the dock and cannot leave
until more ~veterinaries have gotten
in their work. Horses shipped to
this country must pass through
what is known as "horse quarantine
under the watchful eye of a veter-
mary attached to the department of
agriculture. So much care is exer-
cised that it is estimated that not
more than II horse in a hundred
dies from the effects of an ocean
voyage. The attendants on these
"horse ships say that they have
V seen a thoroughbred suffer

Gated Women Are the Chief
Victims,

Hermann Lundborg, of the great
Swedish lunatic asylum at Upsala,
says that lunacy is increasing among
Swedish women and more especially
among the educated classes. In the
lower classes insanity is brought on
chiefly by the cares of life or intern
perance, but in the educated women
the main cause, he contends, is their
education.
DR.. Lundborg emphatically asserts
that the forced training to which this
class of women submit themselves is
most hurtful.

ject women to this competition, and
if the competition does not cease eff
fects upon future generations will be
DISASTROUS"
DR.. Lundborg states that the Swed-
ish who have been educated in acade-
mics have remarkably small families
when they have any and that in too
many cases their family relations are
unhappy owing to their inability to
discharge household duties.

RACE HORSES AT SEA-
Precautions Are Taken In Shipping
Thoroughbreds Across Ocean.
Stalls Padded and Floors Covered
with Peat Moss-A Clean Bill of
Health Necessarily for
Each Horse,

Few persons have an idea of the de- F,
tails attendant upon the shipping of
a thoroughbred from this country to ,
England on one of the Atlantic Trans
port line steamers which handle most
of this line of business. A thoroughly
bred is not handled like a dray horse.
The race is as much entitled to COM
fort and consideration as a first-class
cabin passenger. His owner is So
licitous as to his welfare and is will
ing to pay well for it. The slightest
jolt due to the rolling of the ship in a
heavy sea might disable a thorough
bred SO that his trip to the other side
would all be in vain, therefore the
greatest care must be taken that the
quarters on board ship are provided
with precautions against such acct
dents, says the New York Sun.
The railroads have gradually met
the demand for the traffic in race
horses and now run whole trains of
specially constructed horse cars for
the accommodation of thoroughbreds.
According to the laws of the United
States a horse brought over a railroad
to a seaport town preparatory to an
ocean voyage must have IS hours of
rest in a stable after leaving the cars
before he is led up to the rang plank
to his stall on shipboard. The New
York Central road has a specially con-
structed stable for this purpose at
Thirty-sixth street and the North
s,or orJ @+lo,. ~, l. loo. 49,, ~,n1
ing preparations to provide similar
quarters. These stables and the quar-
tiers for the horses aboard ship are IN
der the direct jurisdiction of the Unit
ed States bureau of animal industry,
of which the chief executive for the
port of New York is DR.. William H.
Rose.
The inspectors employed by this bu-
reau have many duties to perform.
among them close scrutiny of each
ship before horses are allowed to go
aboard. According to the require
ments of the law, each stall must be
eight feet in length and two feet six
inches in width. These are the accom-
modations for ordinary horses, but
the box stalls for thoroughbreds are
generally ten by eight feet. with the
walls and roof thickly padded. The
floor of one of these stalls is covered
with six inches of peat moss, over
which at night a heavy mattress of
straw is thrown SO that the racehorse
can enjoy a comfortable sleep. But
the same mattress is not used two
nights in succession, for the law says
that the racehorse must have a clear
bed every night.
The inspectors disinfect every
thing before a ship sails, includin,
