Weather-Wise Creatures.

Certain birlS and animals are inialllble
weather forecasters. A contributor to
Farm and Fireside describes the manner
in which many OF them act in preparation
for storms or charges in the weather.
The spider, upon The approach Of rainy
or windy weather, will be found 10 shorten
and strengthen the guys OF his web.
When the storm is over he will lengthen
them again.
Sea-gulls predict storms by assembling
on the land, but this is merely a search
for food. They instinctlvelY know that
the rain will bring the earhworms and
larvae to the surface. A similar instinct
teaches the swallow TO fly high in lair
weather and skim the ground when foul
weather is coming. They simply follow
the flies and gnatS which remain in the
warm air.
Swine will carry hay and straw TO a
hiding place, oxen will lick themselves
the wrong way of the hair, sheep will
bIeat and skip about, hogs turned out in
the woods will come to their pens squeal-
ing and grunting, .olts will rub their
backs against the ground, crows will
gather in focks, and cricketS will sing
more loudly.
In all probability these many actions
are due to an uneasiness similar 10 that
which all who are troubled with corns or
rheumatism experience just previous TO a
storm, and are caused both by the varia-
ton in barometric pressure and The changes
IN the electrical condition OF the atmos-
phere.

SIaughtering Horses in War.

Among the first war pictures that came
from Belgium, our readers may remem-
Der one of a splendid German battery,
drawn by twelve horses, all OF which
were slain in their traces by single burst
ing shell. This was typical of what has
happened in hundreds OF cases.
In moving picture shows IN America
have been seen the superb mounts OF a
famous French regiment OF lancers. The
horses were the pick of France, selected
through the years. trained TO perfection
and matched to a shade. From such as
these, the French war office tells US, will
come the 250, 900 horses that France alone
expects TO lose during the progress OF the
war. From August lStto September 10Th,
more than 100000 horses had been lost
by the warning powers and every farm
was being searched for new mounts.
England still processes 10 be selecting her
horses for The cavalry with her wonted
care, but the other nations are taking
whatever is offered at prices from $3.50 to
Sl75. Greece, one OF the lesser powers,
has contracted with an American trader
for 10000 horses at 500 head.
When the Civil War ended. horses
which had done service in battle were re-
turned TO the plow. Private soldiers who
supplied their own mounts were allowed
to take them home thousands OF horses,
the sires and dams Of much OF the pres
ent Virginia stock, were sold in Rich
mond and in Lynchburg for whatever
they would bring, In this way the ex-
ConfederateS were able TO till their farms
and move their crops.
But in Europe there is little likelihood
that the transfer of the armies TO a peace
footing, whenever that comes, will re-
lease many horses for agriculture. The
horses that are left will probably not be
more than sufficient TO serve for military
purposes the demand will be greater
than ever.
This means new and high mar ei
for the American stock. II means, like
wise, new progress and new uses for the
American automobile.
On October lst an order for 4.5OO cav
airy horses was placed by agents OF France
with commission firms OF the horse and
mule market in ST. Louis. This is the
largest army horse order gwen since The
Boer war. The agents. it is said, are
authorized 10 order 100 600 horses. The
order already placed amounts TO $780,

A Strange Reason.

II is interesting to note the testimony
OF travelling men in the hotels OF West
Virginia regarding the liquor traffic.
Gathered in the hotel al Terra Alta a
few evenings ago were hall dozen oi
these men discussing the question. Some
had been wet, but all but one agreed that
a marked change for the better could be
noted in West Virginia. This man did
not hesitate to say the State was worse
off and that his business had oeen in
jured. So vehement was he in his de-
nunclation Of the Prohibition law that
one OF the gentlemen inquired what he
handled, and he replied that he Travelled
for casket concern from Springfield.
Ohio. He frankly stated that he could
sell more cofhns in wet territories than
dry.

Science Scores Again.

This is the day OF serums, and while
many OF US are still more or less nervous
about having dynamic doses OF germ cul-
turfs injected into our systems, the whole
world will hope that the new remedy for
pyorrhea which two members ofthe Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania faculty are re-
ported to have discovered will live up to
fhe hopes which have been raised for it.
This is one OF the oldest OF diseases,
traces Of its effect having been found in
mouths OF EgS ptian mummies; but not
until in comparatively recent years has
the medical world recognized how Serl-
GUS may be its consequences. II is now
generally accepted that great many other
diseases, and especially certain forms OF
rheumatism. are directly due to the rava-
ges OF pyorrhea, the most manifest symp-
tom OF which is sottening OF the gums,
which frequently proceeds TO such an eX-
tent that the teeth become looSened and
drop out. DR.. NJ. 7. Barrett and Dr..
Allen J. Smith, the Philadelphia profess
sors who are credited with conquering
this malady, lay the blame for it upon a
low organism, called the amoeba, which
is reported to be the same sort OF microoe
which was found responsible for the out
breaks OF dySentery and liver trouble
which gave much trouble TO our soldiers
in the Philippines. DR.. Barrett, who be-
gan these researches, took his cue from
the work which was done in the Philip
pines, where il was found that the dys-
entery amoeba could be destroyed by
injecting a serum into the arm OF per-
son. The tests which have, been made
of the pyorrhea serum have not yet pro-
ceeded sufficiently far TO justify the claim
that it is a complete and universally sat-
iSfactory cure, but it has proved itself in
many severe cases capable OF affording
relief with amazing promptness, and
these cases have shown no symptoms OF
a return OF the disease.

The War and Postal Savings

The war in Europe is proving a big
boon TO postal savings in this country.
From the very day hoStilitles opened
across the seas a-savingS receipts
began to increase by leaps and bounds
and Withdrawals fell oft, result quite
contrary 10 the predictions OF many we'll
informed persons who, in their imagina-
ton, saw lines of teverish depoSitorS at
post t-oifjce pay windows anxious to again
return their savings 10 the bootleg and
body-belt repositories whence they came
before intrusted to Uncle Sam. But the
forecasters tailed TO reckon on the abSo
lutte confidence OF the American citizen,
regardless of the flag that first met his
eyes, in the ability and purpose OF the
Government 10 carry out IFS obligations,
not only among the nations Of the earth,
but with the humblest citizen OF our land.
Two important results have followed
thousands of people, largely OF foreign
birth, accustomed to send their savings
abroad, are now patrons OF our postal
savings system; and enormous sums OF
actual cash have been released for COM
mercia uses among our own people at a
time when the need for every available
dollar is pressing.
The growth OF postal savings in the
! United States has been steady and healthy
and the system has filled an important
| gap between the tin can depository and
the factory paymaster. On July |, when
affairs were running smoothly here and
abroad and the transmission OF money
across the Atlantic was safe and eXpedi-
tious, there was approximately $4,000
600 OF postal savings standing 10 the
credit OF about 1888, 600 depositors. Since
then over $l0.000.000 of deposits have
been added and the number OF deposi-
tors has increased enormously. Scores
OF offices have done more poSta savings
business since the war has been going on
than was done by them during the pre-
viouS existence OF the service.
The unexpected increase in poStal-Sav-
ings business has not only added greatly
to the general administrative duties Of
the system, but has brought up many
new and interesting problems which have
called for the careful personal considera-
ton OF Postmaster General Burleson and
Governor Dockery, Third Assistant Post

NEW VOL. 49-No. "A.
The Rest Cure.

il is always easier TO recognize the need
OF a rest cure than il is to put the cure into
operation. First OF all there is the ditii-
Guilty OF deciding just where and how to
give 1t. Then il beco omes necessary to
persuade the patient 10 take il. and every
rest-cure patient is problem by himself,
usually a difficult oue II is quite possi-
bic 10 be in urgent need OF the rest cure
and at the same time TO be more obstinate,
yociierous, and unmanageaole than all the
rest OF the family put together. That is
why physicians advise against attempting
the rest cure in the home. II is very
likely to fail there in the case OF the pa
tients OF the other members OF the family;
for wom-out people are hard TO handle,
although they may be perfectly trectaole
and re sonable when they are in a state
OF health.
That is the reason that good sanator-
ium is the best solution OF The problem.
The patien, is at once removed from his
oversollcitouS family, and becomes SIM
ply one case among other cases-although
he may be tactfully recognized as very
Interesting" one. Furthermore, lite
OF gentle but inilexi6le rule and habit is
established. The days glide by, and they
are made 10 glide and not 10 drag, which
is, perhaps, the most valuable secret OF
the system.
But, unfortunately, many people who
need the rest cure cannot afford 10 go 10
a sanalorium. In those cases, We must
strive 10 attain as lar as possible the at
mosphere and methods otthe sanatorlum.
Break the day up into periods, and let
them be punctually observed. Try TO get
the patient into a mood OF willing ooedi-
ence to some one person, even II you
have TO persuade the doctor TO play The
ogre for that purpose. Let the meals be
a succession OF mildly exciting plcnlcs.
Admit one visitor day-no more-ds
concession and a treat. And It you can
possibly find the money, have profess
sional massage the patient at regular in
teTvals. Remember that an impatient,
iniraciable and thoroughly bored person
lying in bed is mol taking a rest cure.
