A Freak of Iiqhtninq.

A strange freak of lightning is
reported from a town in New York.
1t found its way into the buffers
pantry Of a certain residence, on a
shelf of which we're some brilliantly
decorated royal Dresden plates.
The lightning made a slight dis
coloration about the edges of sew
eral of the plates, but on the wall
it made several photographs of
them, with the decorations repro
duced, colors and all. Here, in an
instant, the electric fluid did what
men have been trying in vain to do
for many years-it took a photo
graph in colors.

A Memory Test Game.

Take six coins-a silver dollar, a
fifty cent piece, twenty-five cent
piece, dime, a nickel and cent.
Have the room darkened or blind
fold the players; let the coins be
passed quickly from one to another,
not in regular order, but, say, the
nickel, the dollar, the ten cent piece,
the quarter, the cent, the half dol
lar. Each player holds each coin
two seconds before passing. When
all have had the coins, the light is
turned up, paper and pencil are sup
piled and the players write down the
order in which the coins were
passed. The one getting the correct
order, or nearest to it, receives the
prize. Of course, the order is decid-
ed upon by the hostess beforehand.

SWEENY IN HORSES.
Cause of This Conc s.on and Treatment
of the Disease.

of the Disease.
Nothing is more diStressful to see
or lays a heavier burden of criticism
upon the farmer than the sight of an
otherwise sound and well formed horse
ruined with sWeeny, says the Missouri
and Kansas Farmer If the causes of
this condition were better understood
we have a feeling that farmers would
have fewer animals thus affected. On
many farms during the winter the
horses do little or no work. When
spring comes and before the muscles
are toned up the heavy work Of plow-
ing or disking is begun. The draft
may not be exceedingly heavy, but it
is steady and unreIenting, and the mus
cles of the shoulders soon become tired.
Then the horse in order to relieve him.
self twists his head to one side and
pulls with one shoulder for a time. In
q little while the nerves of this shoul-
der become so compressed and be-
numbed that paralysis ensues. The
nerves then are unable to control the
nutrition of the muscles, and they
waste away. This is sweeny.
Sometimes drivers of horses are care
less in the way the cross lines are ad-
justed, so that the head of the horse is
pulled to the side, bringing the most Of
the strain upon one of the shoulders.
Then, again, sometimes there is no link
between the singletree and the whiff1e-
tree, so that the inner end of the for
mer rests upon the latter the moment
one of the horses drops little behind,
and the entire load is borne by the
outside tug. Horses until they get used
to work should be frequently rested.
If you think their shoulders do not be-
come tired just because the draft Is
light put a five pound weight on your
shoulder and walk a mile. You would
think nothing Of carrying two bushel
bag of corn rod or two, but you soon
begin to think it is a dreadful task to
carry a five pound weight even quar-
ter of mile. Rest the horses often
until their muscles become hardened.
Just word about the treatment of
sweeny. Since it is merely nerve pa
ralysis which lies at the base Of the
disease, it is worse than cruel to put
in rowels and setons. Rub the mus
cles and excite them with lihiment.
Use the horse with breast collar at
some light work. The disease Is very
difficult to cure, but it generally can
be mitigated.

DYSPEPSIA.
Cure It by Observing a Few Importar
Rules of Health.

Rules of Health.
It is amazing that so common a
difficulty as dyspepsia should be so
little understood by the general
public and that its remedy should
be so hard to find. But it can be
cured and without any marvellous
nostrums by observing few impor-
tant rules of health. The dyspeptic
must first fix in his mind the fact
that his ailment is the result of bad
habits of eating and living and that
these must be changed; that drugs
will do him no good. He must be-
gin by avoiding all starchy foods,
as potatoes, rice, oatmeal, beans,
etc. Meats, soft boiled eggs, milk
toast, zwieback, etc., are the best
foods for avoiding fermentation and
the gas that causes dyspeptic pains.
In serious cases buttermilk is one
of the best dependencies. Another
is boiled milk with a slight addition
of limewater. Either Of these will
enable the most chronic dyspeptic
to procure some sustenance without,
serious distress. He should drink
freely of hot water, at least two
quarts day, always taking a glass
half an hour before mealtime. He
should not crowd his meals close to-
gether, as with an impaired diges-+
ton it is often best to have the
meals six or seven hours or more
anart. The rule to be followed is

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How to Arrange Bopeep Party For
Small Children.


All the children who are invited
to a Bopeep party should be asked
to come dressed as shepherds and
shepherdesses, not an expensive
garb by any means. The hostess
of the afternoon, probably the
mother OF aunt of the heroine of
the day, should be dressed as Mother
Goose, and should receive the chill
dren.
Among the prize games played
during the party should be one that
brings forward large sheep drawn
on muslin. The sheep must be
minus a tail, and the picture must
be pinned upon the wall. Then let
each child be blindfolded and let
him try to pin on the tail in the
correct place. The one who can pin
on the tail nearest to the correct
place receives a prize.
The tea table should be prettily
decorated with a mound of moss,
in the center of which just as many
woolly lambs as there are children
should stand. As place cards for
the girls have tiny dolls dressed as
Bopeep, with small cards attached,
on which the name of the little
guest is written. The boys may re-
ceive balls, jumping jacks and SIM
liar toys.

Loss In Sheep Raising.

The cause of loss in sheep raising
may be summed up as follows: First,
low condition of the flock at mating
time; second, insufficient food and shell
ter during winter; third, neglect during
lambing time; fourth, worrying by
dogs; fifth. selling the best lambs and
keeping the culls; sixth, using inferior
raps, and, seventh. neglecting to de-

This change is necessary on ac-
count of the practice which has grown
up of making through the day. an
pointment calls for 6 p. m. when the
reduced rates take effect. As
people do not realize that hundreds
of others are doing the same thing.
they cannot understand why their
service is delayed in many cases for
one or two hours beyond the appoint

There is no comparison between
the night rates for telephone and
telegraph service because telegraph
messages are filed at any time for
night transmission upon the agree
ment that they are to be seLt at the
convenience of the company and are
not to be delivered until the follow

NEGRO COLONIES IN
UNITED STATES

Certain men are promoting a SCH
eme to establish a negro colony in
the southern part of California, the
settlers to be drawn from other
parts of the United States.
The project is declared not to be
communistic at all on the con-
trary. it is simply plan to establish
Il negro community, such as white
colonists established in this state in
the early period of its history.
Not much is to be expected from
venture of this kind. California
offers no attractions to negroes be-
yohd those to be found in the South
ern states, and the colonists would
gain nothing over what they can OBJ
tain now by buying land in any other
part of the country where climatic
conditions are suited TO their physi-
cal needs.
If the project is to build up a dis
tinctly negro community, the wiser
course would seem to be to select
some country where the colonists
could entertain reasonable hope of
of becoming dominant. This might
be done in Hayu but far better in
Liberia or some other part of Africa.
In California the colonists will en-
counter the same obstacles growing
out of race distinction which they en-
counter not only in the South, but all
through the north. They can never
hope to dominate in the affairs OF
even a single county in California,
and hence the movement offers no
greater attraction than the exodus
to Kansas which occurred a few years
after the close of the civil war.
Everybody knows that the condi-
ton of the negroes in Kansas is no
better than it is ia Texas or Missouri
and the same will be true of Califor-
MIA in case the colony project is car
ried into effect.-Denver Republican.
