"Stomach Staggers," more or less de- veloped, IS & disease prevalent to q greater extent than is supposed. Its complicated symptoms tend to confound the judgment of the owner and lead him astray in his diagnosis. Thus, when the mare "goes with her head down, and appears stupid, her breathing is afflicted, and she exhibits symptoms of derange- ment of the kidneys" it would not seem at first sight that all this is due to ner- vous disorder having it's origin in the stomach. But such is the fact, although the precise way in which the functions of the brain, kidneys and lungs are af- fected by the abnormal condition of the stomach cannot be clearly explained. However, 1t is well known that heaviness of the eyes, drowsiness, habit of droop- ing the head over the manager as if asleep, even when feeding a cessation of the urinary secretion, with tenderness over the loins, and subsequent bilious disorder and difficulty of breathing, all follow impaired digestion, or frequent ly overloaded stomach. The disease is never known when proper care is exer- cised in feeding, and when digestion goes on uninterruptedly. Toprevent it, the horse should be fed lightly, and never when exhausted with work, and never kept without food longer than five hours. The feed should be finely cut or ground potatoes or carrots, or even turnips, may be given once day with benefit i; one ounce of salt should be supplied with every feed; the horse should be underfed rather than overfed he should be well curtied the stable be well ventilated in short, everything that will interfere with robust health should be guarded against. As for a cure, prevention of the causes is the most certain, but sometimes it will be found necessary to relieve the clogged system by brisk purge before dietary measures become effective. For this purpose, pint of inseed oil may be ad- ministered daily for three or four days, followed by one dram of sulphate of cop per with one ounce of powdered gentian root given twice day in the feed.

Gut the blocks of equal size and regular shape 16 or IS inches by 12 is con venient size cut equal, so that they can be packed closely. At least one foot in thickness of dry sawdust, cut straw, or chaff should be packed closely around the heap, and two feet over the top of 1t. The ice-house needs double walls, eight inches apart, filed between with the same sort of material, and tight roof to shed rain the caves may be open, as ample ventilation tends to preserve the ice. The bottom of the ice-house must be drained perfectly, and be protected entirely from the access of any current of air. It will not do to raise it above the ground. It is best to have it sunk at least one foot beneath the surface, but all the waste water from the ice must soak or be carried away. The ice-house should be placed upon rise of ground, and never in hollow. A house of rough blanks or slabs, drained below, ventilated above, and packed at the sides, will keep he ice as well as the most costly one.

 Above the dimpling stream; The rosy colors shift and shine,

 And all the shadowy world doth seem The picture of some happy dream. Too soon, from darkening tide and shore, The vision melts away; To paint the heavenly spaces OCT

 From the heaven where once it shone i; Every sweet color there inlaid

Strange Case I'm an Indiana COurt-A


Contract on the European Plan"


INDIANAPOLIS, June 2j.-JaTed X.
Buell. was arraigned in the Criminal Court
this morning, on an indictment for adultery
with Susan ID. Gilbert. The defendant
admitted that he was living with the
woman as man and wife, and believed he
was legally married to her, and that said
marriage was binding by the agreement
made between the parties on the 25th of
May, 1915, copy Of the agreement being
filed, which is as follows: 81, here in the
presence Of the witnesses, take by the hand
Susan ID. Gilbert as my lawful welded wife,
and promise to fulfill all the duties of a
kind and faithful husband in prosperity or
adversely, in sickness or in health, so long
as the union Of lore and life shall last.
Whereas, the courts OF law have decided
that marriage is a civil contract and gov
eTned by the same Jules as other contracts;
therefore, we hereby agree that this con-
tract exist and be in force during cur phys
ical life; provided our mutual love natures
ever blend as now, but to terminate with
out prejudice by the wish Of either party,
if love shall ever cease TO be mutual, which
event we trust and believe will never
occur"


The burden of the defense was that the
agreement constituted legal marriage, to
which the prosecution excepted on the
ground that the defendant was trying to
eyade the marriage laws Of the State, and
that the agreement or contract with Susan
d. Gilbert was null and void as a legal
marriage, by reasoI Of the provisO in the
second clause of the agreement. Decision
not rendered. The case is attracting con-
siderable attention.

London Correspondence New York Tribune


The Albemarle Club has at last, alJer
many months delay, opened its doors This
is an association organized on ths principle
of ignoring sex, and givil & 10 men and
women together the ordinaly facilities of
A London club. It is the first experiment
of the kind. There is a club
for women separately already
in existence on a small scale, but there
never has been one where the two sexes
meet on even terms. Bold as the venture
is, it has the countenance of some Of the
best women and men in England, and it
begins with over three hundred members,
having. accommodation for five hundred.
Care has beeL taken to meet some OF the
obvious difficulties in the case. Only some
Of the rooms are TO be used in cOmmO n.
There is a separate drawing-rOom for
ladies, and a smoking for men, from
which ladies are expressly excluded
though smoking among ladies Is not un-
known. The dining room Is open TO both,
but if lady likes a cup OF tea In the ladies'
drawing room, she may have that. Al
present there is nothing in the rules to pre-
vent q member Of the club Of either sex
from asking a friend Of either sex to lunch
or dinner. The only security taken on this
point is that the name of the guest
and host shall be entered together in
book open TO inspection. The marriage
relation gave rise TO some debate, l hear,

experiment is made in perfect good faith,
and the club is entitled, since they would

loueed without giving rise to scandal,

THE CURSE OF SEWING MACHINES.


Seribner for July.


"a Mother" replying to some structures
in a daily paper upon the bold, even i'm
modest conduct of .'the beautifully dressed
young girls, who, out of school hours, pa
rade Fifth Avenue, Chestnut and Beacon
streets, remarks that Hthe censure prob
ably would not be so severe if it were known
how many of these beautiful dresses were
cut out and made on the machine by the
weareTs. Innocence and ignorance are the
true apologies for their Unseemly behavior
She LAYS her finger on the handspring of all
the trouble. What but vanity and grossly
vulgar subservience to fashion could induce
any mother TO devote her child'sfew leisure
hours 10 the construction Of elaborate COS
tunes, marVels of sbirTing, anticipating,
etc, etc? The real martyrs 10 fashion are,
after all, the shabby -genteel, whose souls
and bodies must be worn out in tOiling af-
ter her whims and changes. But, leaving
the moral view out of the question, there
are physical reasons which should forbid
the use of the sewing-machine to any but
adult women. Even to them It is doubtful
whether it has yet proved more of a cUrse
than a blessing. On an average, quite as
much time is now devoted in a family TO
the more elaborate garments which its
use Las brought into fashion as formerly
was given to the needle, and the appall
ing Increase Of debility and certain dis
eases among women is proved to be
largely due TO its use. 1t will
be of real benefit only when garments can
be made by il with steam power, Of
quality and finish which will supersede its
use il the family altogether. Until then,
this "benignant domestic fairy" as it is
POLITICALLY called, is one to be handled with
caution; it has, too, its malignant errand.

clear Of it, and give their leisure
time to higher studies than the

We learned, yesterday, that Mir.

The new ''bonanza" is still turning out ton after ton of rock in which specks and pieces of free gold are thickly planted, and Fredericks is hurrying the completion of his new quartz mill, which, it is said, will be crushing rock before the end of the present week.

 Good judges of quartz say he has the best chance for fortune of any miner Tn Arizona. The General Crook people are taking out great deal of very rich gold ore.

 The Vesuvius people are preparing to make another big clean up.

A gentleman who arrived in Prescott few

 days ago, from Mobave county, learned, while

 there, that three men had just met with vio- lent deaths at a place near the Planet Copper

 mine, on Bill Williams Fork of the Colorado

 river. The gentleman's knowledge of the

 facts were so meagre that We are unable to give the names of all of the departed. We only know that man named kearney lost mare and blamed two of those who have gone to the other world with having stolen and sold her; that he pursuaded another man to accompany him to the camp of the men he suspected of stealing his mare; that he found them in their cabin, one on each side of a stove; that discussion arose, during which he drew his six shooter, frsd first at one; then at the other, and soon after left them both for dead. Ills companion went to another camp for men to aid in burying the two men. While he was gone Kearney went to the cabin to take look at the men le had shot. Arriving at the door, he was con- fronted by one of the "dead" men, who had mustered sufficient strength to procure a shotgun, the contents of which he speedily buried in Mir. Kearney's body, killing him instantly. Then, with almost surperhuman effort, he arose, dragged Kearney's body into the cabin, locked or shut the door, procured a horse and rode to the Colorado River Indian Reservation.

 Our informant is of the opinion that all three of the men above alluded to scere very bad men, who will not be missed from the Planet mine or from any other planet. We are in hopes that next mail will bring us the names of the parties to this tragedy; also the particulars, as, at present, it appears to be as as it was unprecedented in the criminal annals of Bill Williams Fork
