Care Of Horses.
Harm is frequently done from want
of thought, and in this respect the
horse is too frequently the victim,
says a correpondent of “The London
Live Stock Journal.” The attendants
upon horses—at least a part of them
appear to have the idea that a horse
is of iron construction, something in
the nature of a machine, in place o
being built up pretty much on the
same lines as the human frame.
Where these erroneous ideas prevail
the horse is treated as a machine, its
days of utility, its years of work and
service are materially. curtailed and
many sudden deaths occur.
It would well repay owners of hor
ses to have hu ( ng in their stables and
bring before grooms and drivers some
such rules as the following:. Never
kick ahorse in the belly. Remember
that a horse has organs to be injured
just as has man, wind to be broken,
bowels to be ruptured, heart and lungs
to be affected, limbs and tendons to
be broken, and injured or sprained.
To prevent this use the animals as you
use yourself in regard to draughts and
chills. Whether in saddle, convey
ance, cart or wagon, never start a
horse with the whip until previously
signalled by the voice. In the ascent
of a hill never put on speed until the
summit is fully reached, and a few
yards allowed to recover wind and
strength. The bulk of drivers start
their horses when ten or fiften yards
from the top. Exhausted and puffed
by the ascent the call upon exhausted
energies at the very worst time leads
to ruptured bowels, broken wind,
sprained tendons, wornout legs, etc—
a horse spoiled for life. It is not one
cull, but th? daily calls which lead up
to the breakdown.—Connecticut Far
mer.
As the seuSoh t>f the jeat‘ when pneu
k'gUppe, sore throat, coughs,
colds, catarrh, bronchitis and lung
troubles are to be guarded against.
Nothing is a fine substitute, will answer
tfie purpose, or is just as good as One

m tah.ible remedy for all lung, throat or
bronchial troubles. Insist vigorously
upon having it if something else is of
fered you. Dr. W. A. Wright.
A Financial KmlmrrfiMament.
A lady who had a kindly remem
brance for all her domestic servants met
an erstwhile washerwoman and stopped
to ask her how she fared. ,
“Oh, mom, it’s turribje finaushnl
disthress me an the childer’s in!”
“Why, what is it—are yon out of
employment?”
“No, mem ; work’s in a fair state o’
stiddiness, and not a cint do 1 owe, but
it’s lashins o’ trouble I’ve got!”
“Are you not paid promptly?”
“As promptly as the day oooms
round. ”
“What is your financial distress,
then?"
“Well, mem” (in a burst of horror),
“what’s killin me is, I earn $6 the
week an pay $8 for me boord, an God
only knows how I do it I” -Short
Stories.
PRECIOUS METALS.
Gold and Platinum Are Cheap Com
pared With Some of Them.
“The majority of people when asked
to name the most precious metals usu
ally mention gold as first, platinum as
second and silver as third, ” said the
proprietor of a largo assnying and refin
ing establishment to the writer recently.
‘‘Now, let us see how near the truth
they would be. Gold is worth about
$250 per pound troy, platinum $l3O,
and silver about sl2.
“We will now compare these prices
with those of the rarer and leH.s well
known metals. To take them In alpha
betical order barium, the metal which
Davy isolated from its ore, baryta, in
1808, sells for $950 a pound when it is
sold at all, and calcium is worth SI,BOO
a pound. Cirium is a shade higher. Its
cost is SIOO an ounce, or $1,920 per
pound. These begin to look like fabu
lous prices, but they not reach the
highest point, chromium being S2OO,
Cobalt falls to about half the price oi
silver, while didyiuium, the metal iso
lated by Masauder, is the same price
as calcium. Then comes gallium, which
is worth $3,250 an ounce. With this
metal the highest price is reached, and
it may well be called the rarest and
most precious of metals.
“Glueium is worth $250 per ounce;
indium, $150; iridium, $558 a pound;
janthanium, $175, and lithium, SIOO
per ounce. Nidium costs $l2B per ounce;
osmium, palladium, platinum, potas
sium and rhodium bring respectively
$640, S4OO, $l3O, $32 and $512 per
pound. Strontium costs $l2B an ounce;
tantaum, $144; tilurium, $9; thorium,
$272; vanadium, $320; yttorium, $144,
and zinconiuin, $250 an ounce.
“Thus we see that the commonly re
ceived opinion as to what are the most
precious metals is quite erroneous. Ba
rium is nearly four times as valuable as
gold and gallium \nore than 100 times
as costly, while many of the other met
als mentioned are twice and thrice as
valuable. Aluminium, which cost $8
and $9 a pound in 1890, is now pro
duced as cheaply as are iron, zinc, lead
and oopper. ” —Washington f3tar.
Hidden Beauty
In Egypt the custom is for Princesses
to hide their beauty by covering
the lower parfrof the face with a veil.
In America the beauty of many of
our women is hidden because of the
B weakness and
rematu r e
their unnealthy
complexion, from the eyes of the
world with the veil of the Orient.
Bradfield’s
Female Regulator
brings out a woman’s true beauty.
It makes her strong and well in those
organs upon which her whole general
health depends. It corrects all men
strual disorders. It stops the drains
of Leucorrhcea. It restores the womb
to its proper place. It removes the
causes of headache, backache and
nervousness. It takes the poor, de
bilitated, weak, haggard, fading
woman and puts her on her feet
again, making her face beautiful by
making her body well.

What Do They Care.
The liquor men are enjoying great
profit from the big sales they make to
our soldiers in the army canteens.
They know well enough that the use
ot beer and other liquors unfits sol
diers for duty and exposes them to
the ravages of dread diseases, but
what matters it to them if they car,
make money. They are not for thq
soldier himself: they care not for the
country for which he is fighting. They
want money, and they force their pois
ons on our armies and rake in the
profits.—-The Lever.

A little boy was caught by an irate
farmer up in one of his apple trees.
“Come down this instant,” roared the
farmer, “and I’ll give you a sound
box in the ear, you bla‘guard.”
“Troth, sur, I wouldn’t come down if
you,d give me a dozen,” was the reply.

Andrew Jackson.
In physique Jackson was about six
feet tall, rather spare and delicate.
He stooped slightly, and his face sear
ed with pain from his ill health; scarred
with the marks ofinnumerable battles,
great rage and iron will. His chin
was square, long and tapering; his
nose enormous; his ears were large
and shaggy, sandy hair stood up from
a massive forehead. He looked in
this respect like a Germanjmusician.
His blue eyes were deep and bril
liant.
The trouble with Jackson seems to
have been his lungs and back. Sev
eral times it was thought he would die
of pneumonia. Once a doctor return
ed froiu a short walk and found him
up and ready to go out when he left
him but a few moments, before, as he
thought, as good as dead. You took
too much stimulant,” said the doctor,
remonstating. “Haven’t touched your
stimulant!” he replied, disdainfully.
‘‘Read tnat!” handing the doctor a
etter from Clay denouncing Jackson
for his action in the Arbuthnot case.
That was all the stimulant the general
needed.

AN HONEST MEDICINE FOR LA

whatever. I have used one 50-cent bot

An Unsuccessful Experiment.
Young Mr. Goode has been mar
ried only a very short time, but (or
perhaps I should say therefore) he
had a number of theories as to how to
be happy though married. One of
these was that the husband should in
variably pretend to like his wife’s
cooking, whether it was good or bad.
One evening Mrs. Goode prepared
some biscuits. They were heavy and
soggy and absolutely indigestable, but
her better half ate heartily of them.
(The sequel will show why I call him
the better half.) As he finished
the sixth one he smiled across the
table at his wife and said tenderly:
“These biscuits are delicious, love.
Just like my mother used to make.”
“You mean thing!” exclaimed h<s
spouse, crossly. “If I couldn’t make
better biscuits than your mother makes
I’d live in a boarding-house.”
All of which goes to show that wo
man is indeed, as the post says, “Un
certain coy and hard to please.”—San
Francisco Examiner.
For a quick remedy and one that is
perfectly safe for children let us recom
mend One Minute Cough Cure. It is
excellent fer croup, hoarseness, tickling
in the throat and coughs.
