Warships.Prevent Riots,

London, Dec. 22.- According to Off
cisl advices received here today from
Shanghai, it is believed that the situa-
tion, while most unsatisfactory, can be
controlled by the warships already
there. The only danger is that dis
affection may spread to the interior.
1t is thought that it will not be neces-
sary to send troops, as the Chinese gov
ernment is taking precautions to pre-
vent an uprising. The foreign office
has disapproved the action of the Brit
ish assessor in confining Chinese wo-
men prisoners in foreign Jail.

When a horse has been injured on

done by bandaging it up tight 1t

effective. In a few hours, consider
able swelling will set in; this should
be reduced either by applying cold wa
ter frequently, or, what Is really bet
ter, applying pure kerosene oil, not
only to the wound, but also to the
swollen parts. No bandage should be
kept on where kerosene Is used, as 1t
will then cause the hair to fall off tenn

DO so, the sore should be carefully
washed with soft water and CASTLE
soap. This ought to be repeated daily
until the sore heals. One Of the best
healing medicines for horsefesh that
have ever used can be put up at any
drug store, as follows: One-half pint
Of alcohol; one-half pint of spirits Of
turpentine; l ounce Of pure glycerinei
mix all together in a large bottle and
shake well before using. Apply only
with feather at morning and night.
The sore should never be bandaged.
By daily washing it will in this way
heal up very rapidly. l can person

IN the jungle and the wilder

guage. Through countless
generations the noisiest ami
mails have been sought out
and killed by their enemies,
and only the more silent
species have survived. Yet
all the higher animals, as we
call the higher vertebrates,
have the ability to exchange
thoughts and convey ideas
and that is language.
