Washington. March 4.--Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou has issued In
structions defining the attitude of
the postoffice department regarding
fast mail trains. He states that while
the department should insist upon
the most expeditions service, it
should not exert its authority to such
an extent as to compel the establish
ment of railroad schedules inconsit
carried on these trains.
The postmaster general thinks
there is danger of some of the roads

THE BOILING sun.

4 study of the Encyclopedia Brit
tanica, article Sun. tends TO dis
pei any alarm in regard to the big
touches in some of the
papers
In 1851 the sun showed a 'spot"
40 900 miles across and the distur-
Dances in the body of the sun around
this center of connection were so
great that they could be plainly seen
through the telescope.
Sun spots are supposed to be caus-
ed by a partial cooling of "A mass OF
matter high up in the atmosphere Of
the sun. This mass falls into the
main body of the giant sphere some
times being absorbed quietly, but at
other times producing what we may
call a splash which causes an up
rush of fiery material and gas. Such
up-rushes of incandescent material
have been seen to travel al a speed
of $50 miles second, to a distance
fro mthe suns surface of 100000
miles. AS, under the law of conserva-
alton of energy the heat produced
by this disturbance is equivalent to
the motion exhibited in the disturb
ance. the sun has not lost anything
by the appearance and disappearance
of the spot"
As the nearest planet-MercurN-
is SO, 000, 600 miles from the sun even
such boilings up of its internal fires
may not appreciably affect that
planet, and there is no reason why
they should disturb us.
Sun spots are not uncommon. IN
deed, nnumerable small ones exist
all the time. They are spots, specks.
granulations. and pores-all indicat-
| ing activity and constant change.
And yet the general aspect of our
superior illuminating body is un-
/ changed from generation 10 genera
/ tiou and from age to age. Any real

shown bog the spectroscupes that are
constantly leveled at the sun. The
spots. big or little, do not necessarily
indicate cooling off

He Got the Trout.

A story dealing with a large trout

" IL told in How to Fish: A Treatise
on Trout and Trout Fishers" This Is
the story:
HE was going up and down, up and
down, up and down; not as the insects
offered themselves, but as It suited his
composure that he should take nudge
from the abundance. One youth was
casting at the trout; another was look
ing on. Said the angler, I'll have that
fish whether he takes 1t or not
'HowY his friend asked. I'll throw
the fly into his mouth The trout
went on rising; the angler went on
casting. perceived the anglers no
ton. 1t was that II he kept casting
accurately and the trout continued to
rise in the regular manner mentioned
the fly would ere long fall at the very
moment when a nudge was being
taken. This reckoning was justified
The large trout was hooked and land
ed by fly that had been cast into his
mouth"

that II IL best to dlscuss them together.
Although hogs live under favorable
conditions for the development Of rheu-
matlsm, they do not often have the
disease. This is probably due to the
presence Of simultaneous fat. This
disease Ii attributed to damp pens
and exposure, but 1t may occur to pigs
when well managed. Overlooking may
also cause It. The muscles and joints
may both be involved and the symp-
toms be quite marked. There may be
a fever, loss OF appetite and general
lack of condition. IL the muscles Of
the back are involved 1t Is arched and
very tender on manipulation. Still
ness in the gait Is present, especially
II the quarters are involved.
Preventive treatment Is very impor
tant. II means the provision OF dry
comfortable quarters and the avoid
ance Of exposure. The animals should
be given sloppy food; also salicylGte Of
soda In twenty to forty grain doses
Recovery occurs in two or three weeks

when Mr. Mckinley was governor

the devotion OF Mrs. Mckinley for her
husband was equally great The over

a man of great devotion toward his
helpless invalid wife, but there was
another side. The personal friends OF
both Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley do not
believe that he could have attained
such political victories had 1t not been
for the guiding care OF his faithful
wife. Some OF them say he would
never have become president but fol
her.
There was no nervous fear Of the
outcome of the campaign. He would
win because he deserved to win. Tina
was always her motto, and 1t tided the
president over many a difficulty. She
was an inspiration TO him In times
that tried mems souls. Her hope nevel

Advantauea Of Box staIIs.

Fore leg over the halter, head under
the manger. standing with fore feet In
the manger. lying in the gangway with
head outstretched and rigid from the
halter strap, sleeping standing through
fear Of lying down-these are some Of
the evils that are obviated by the
adoption OF abe box stall.
When free and in his natural state
the horse always stands while at rest
with the fore feet on lower plane than
the hind feet, thus relieving the strain
upon the back sinews OF the fore legs,
nor is this all the relief secured, for
the bones Of the feet and the joints
are in a mere natural position; hence
the flooring Of all stalls should be al
least level, and where partitioned stalls
are imperative the floors should slope
forward instead Of backward. True
this has It's drawbacks regarding
drainage, but this is only another argu
ment in favor Of the box stall.-Chica
