Give Your Horse More Water.

From the Outing Magazine.
Water should be before horses at all times
when indoors, and at least no meal should
be offered and no night lights ever turned
out until every animal has had his chance
at as many trimming buckets as he will
take The shy drinker may be tempted by
many articles. like mixing a little mo-
Iasses or salt, or oatmeal, or f1aXseed jelly,
or bran. etc. with the water, and constantly
varying the favor. Horses may even have
all they want right after feeding. provided
they have not been deprived of water for
some time previous. Many shy drinkers,
like shy feeders, who are generally nerv-
ous take all nourishment best at night
vixen il is dark and quiet and morning
finds the empty manger and bucket, which
il had seemed, by day, almost nauseated
them.

At present the big navy yard bell which
is sounded to notify the thousands of en-
ployes of the time, and as alarm bell In
case of fire or other disaster, is suspended
from a frame near the main front door or
the combination building. This be ! is to be
placed in the tower OF the new building.
One of it's purposes will be to call the ma
rines to quarters when occasion demands.
The interior woodwork of the structure will
be of ma hogany. 1t Is the expectation that
the building will be ready for occupancy
not later than June 1 next.
The combination building viii cost when
completed about $1,000 the money having
been appropriated by Congress for the pur-
pose March 2, 1895. In the list of struc-
lures in the navy yard il is designated on
the books "buhding No. 122." 1t is
thirty feet wide by City feet long and
about th;rty-sx feet. high including the
tower. which is seven feet high. The build
ing is of neat design. and tie officials say
II will add to the picturesqueness of the
navy yard and Uncle Sans factory for
making the big and little guns for his navy.
The combination bu lding will take the
place of the small one-story watch box that
was A familiar sight near the main or Sth
street Gate for many years. The new
building is erected on the site of the former
little structure. which has been removed to
another part of the yard.

The Crime Against Niagara.


The total possible development of all the
active companies under their present fran.
chises is between 700. 600 and 100000 horses

United States engineers have estimated tho
overflow from the Lake Erie basin into the
Niagara river channel at 224 400 cubic feet

per cent of the total volume that enters the
river channel. The diversion of this amount
of water has yet had no appreciabe ef-
feet on the falls, but IL should be remem.
bered that the works underway call for
about three times the amount now diverted.

Carpet Makers In Society.
From the London Tatler.


Year by year English society seems TO be
getting more and more businesslike, and
now 1t is interesting to note that several
well-known people have gone in for the
carpet industry. An American contem-
porary has just described a number OF
people who have taken up carpet making
as a hobby. The Duchess of Sutherland
has started carpet making at Helmsdale In
Sutherlandshire, and this enterprise has
found work for many women whose source
of income had been diminished by the fall
ure of the fishing on the Highland coasts.
Then the Earl of Pembroke has started a
carpet factory at Wilton on strictly busl-
ness lines. The Earl of Radnor and Sir
John Dickson Poynder have joined in the
scheme, and small private company has
been formed with a capital Of 10000.
Administer carpets of fine quality are pro-
duced which cost about six guineas TO
every square yard and each of these yards
containing about 1856 900 knots of wool. Wis.,
count De Vesci of the Irish Guards has
founded a carpet factory at Abbey LeiX' his
place in Queens county. ireland.
