Canes and Sword. In Porto Rice.

OF all people perhaps none are more
fond Of canes or more skilled in their
use than our fellow citizens Of Porto
Rico. The walking stick in that island
would seem to mark social distinctions
among men as fans do among women.
Every Spaniard has q cane, the well
to do own several, and the gilded youth
often have q small arsenal Of walking
sticks. The term arsenal" Is used ad-
visedly, as the Porto RicAns, like the
Spaniards, have quite q rondness for
sword canes and dagger canes, and
they make these with remarkable skill.
The blades Of the finer specimens come
from famous smiths In Toledo and 9th
er Spanish cities and are forged from
the finest steel. Some are dsmascened,
and others are inlaid with silver and
gold: some have worked upon them the
name Of the owner and others the
name OF a patron saint.-Philadeiphi

that a special term Of court will be call
ed for the second trial of the case, to

terday stosd eight for manslaughter
and four for acquittal, none of them
voting for a greater offense than one
recognized as bailable. Mrs. McRee's

Lameness in Cattle


1t is an unusual occurrence to
find a large herd of cattle with
out some of them being afflicted
with lameness, either OF a rheu-
matte nature or due to an infeo-
ton of the feet which usually
sets in. The rheumatic lameness
may afflict any part of the ami
mails body, but is more apt to be
noticed in the hip, hook or ankle,
joints.
When an animals lameness Is
due to infection of the feet. ii will
be found that the tissue is affect
ed between the claws, oftentimes
causing a serious sloughing of
these parts, and the pus cavity
extending far UP between the
joints, which causes intense heat,
swelling and lameness. Perhaps
there is no form of lameness that
is so serious and requires more
time to overcome than the latter
form mentioned.
The treatment of such cases
should consist of antiseptic solu-
tons for washing out the pus
cavities, then placing a wad CT
cotton soaked with healing lotions.
then placing an antiseptic pour.
tice around the entire hoof TO,
reduce the heat, swelling and in
flammation, thereby overcoming
that form of lameness.
If the lamenes sis due to rheu-
matism, it is advisable to give q
tonic internally and apply a stftn-
ulating liniment to the affected
joints. Oftentimes good results
may be derived by placing a can
thides blister around such joints.
At any rate. lame cows should
not be neglected. They should
either be given prompt and care
full attention, or should be de-
stroyed, as they usually suffer
untold agony, causing them to be-
come emaclated, and reducing
their flow Of milk, If milk cows,
to such an extent as to make II
Improbable to feed them.

Smoke of Herbs
Cures CatarFh.
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way and
It Costs Nothing to Try.

bacco or habit forming drugs) is either
smoked in an ordinary clean pipe or
srnoling tube, and by drawing the
nedicated smoke into the mouth ano
inhaIing into the lungs or sending It
out through the nostrils in a perfectly
natural way. the worst case of Catarrh
can be eradicated.
II is not unpleasant to use, and at the
same time it is entirely harmless, and
can be used by man, woman or child.
Just as Catarrh is contracted by
breathing cold or dust and germ-laden
air. Just so this balmy antiseptic srnok-
ing remedy goes to all the affected
parts of the air passages Of the head,
nose, throat and lungs. 1t can readily
be seen why the ordinary treatments,
such as sprays, ointments, salves,
LIQUID or tablet medicines fail-they
do not and can not reach all the af-
fected parts.
If you have catarrh of the nose,
throat or lungs, choking, stopped-up
feeling, colds, catarrhal headaches; II
you are given to hawking and splitting,
this simple yet scientific treatment
should cure you.
