Thin d scaie, terrible in its acute, aud
long-enduring in its clironie form, is
one of the most baneful diseas.-s that
flesh Is heir to. It is a disease that will
not bear neglect, for if not treatel
promptly it will remain till death, to
pain, harms and make life miserable.
It is produced chiefly by cold, which
operates most powerfully during per
spiration or exposure to beat Sleep
ing in damp sheets or upon damp
ground the wearing of wet clothes,
expo.-ure to cold rains without subse
quent change of dress, and sitting in a
cold, damp room, are examples of the
kind of exposure which is apt to dc
followed by this disease. It is also a
constitutional disorder and hereditary.
Because of an inactive condition of the
kidneys and bowels the blood is not
purified, and an ac rid poison is formed
and deposited in the muscles and joiuts.
and this causes the inflammation the
intense suffering.
1 am of the decided opinion that our
dietetic errors are as certainly connect
ed with that form of the disease which
in located in the joints in consequence
of the fermentation and putrefaction of
the undigested food, when more is
taken than can be disposed of, or when
indigestible food is eaten as in the case
of the gout
While the smaller joints of the hands
and feet are the seat of the gout, more
especially, I am able to see no reason
why we may not attribut a similar
affection to 'tho larger joints, usually
regarded as rheumatic attacks, as pro
ceeding from similar abuses from in
temperance in eating and drinking.
I can not but regard tho primary
cause as connected with tl e general
state of the system, as all similarly ex
posed to the changes of the weather,
similarly overtaxed, their muscles
similarly exercised, will not bo similar
ly affected, not to tho same extent
'J'he greater the recuperative power of
tho hystem, always based on the use of
wholesome food, moro or lcs, tho bet
ter able it will be to resist all disease
attacks, all effects of disobedience to
the laws of the body. Indeed, with a
perfect diet, tho use of tnat which is
simple, wholesome, easy of digestion,
taken in proper quantities and at prop
er times, 1. think that rheumatic attacks
would I very rare, those only who have
been unusually careless in .heir general
habits. If wo would ward off disease,
therefore, the true principle is to pro
mote health in a general sense, cre
ating such a magazine of electric and
recuperative forio within that disease
attacks must prove abortive, failing to
find a point so weak that an entrance
may be forced! Sineo "the blood is tho
life," and, since tho blood is made
ma lo from tho food eaten, the good
from pure food, ami Jho impure from
worthless or taiuted or inferior food,
our habits of diet must bo of great im
portance. Our food Is valuable to us, not for its
tasto only, but just to the extent that it
is fairly and thoroughly digested, made
ready for assimilation. Only idain
foods corresponding with the simplicity
of nature compounding tho animal
and vegetable products mainly from
only four distinct elements, oxygen,
hydrogen,, nitrogen, three gases, aud
carbon with a small number of what
we may regard as more or less acci
dental substances. This simple food

Jo-effy, tho pianist, practices nonr
daily upon a dumb piano; Vou ISulow
carries one with him in his travels to
keep up his practice; and Ll-ast is s lid
to ue one assiduously. The object of
substituting a silent instrument, which
is said to be growing in favor with mu
sicians, is to subordinate tho sense of
hearing in practice, and to protect tho
player from the pcrvou fatigue pro
duced by the ue of that sense, at the
same time that the senses of sight and
touch are employed. A skill. ! musi
cian said recsntiy that the exhaustion
from practicing upon a piano was
greater than most persons imagined.
He doubted whether a street-paver was
as much exhausted by a day's labr as
a man who is obliged to prnet'cu all
the afternoon. He lavor.M the u-e ol a
fiiano that made no noise. He had
icar I a physician say that the nervous
headaches of young women in mus c.il
conservatories were largely due to the
din of practice, and it was often thought
that this noise impaired the musical
sense. The mute piano makes the per
former depend upon his eye and his
touch, and enforces more attention to
the score, so that he will be able to g t
a notion of the mus e upon sight rcad-

SHAD.
Soma of Their llulilt ami tha Influence
Which Determine Tlixir Mali t itli.ii.
"In tho spring." said Fish Commis
sioner lilaekford, of New York, recent
ly, "tho young man's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of broiled shad. It's
gen'-rally nround St. Patrick's Day
t a, shad make their lirst appearance
in the North River, and there is a tra
dition among Weehawkcn fishermen
that the sai.vt was liim-clf a mythical
shadow,1' and even as tho Commis
sioner spoke ho inadvertently stuck the
lighted end of his cigar in his mouth.
Recovering quickly from tho surpr so
which this act occasioned, ho resumed:
"The experts tell us that the tempera
ture of tho water governs tho appear
ance of shad in the rivers and harbors
along tho Atlantic Coast, so that there
is really no aceura'.o method of do-
termini when they will appear. Ob
servations taken in ISMi, I-' and lns.t
showed that on an imaginary plateau
out In tho deep sea, extending
from the capet of tho Chesapeake to
the Delaware Kreakwutcr, tho temper
aturo of the water was much high r
than in tho rivers and bays along tho
she re. The presumption, therefore, is
that schools of shail belonging to tho
Chesapeake, tho Delaware and tho
North rivers have their common win
ter quarters ou th s plateau. When
the shore water, as the season al
vances, becomes warmer than the
ocean water, tho shad migrat on into
continental waters begins. If tho
northern era should bo warmer than
tho southern, then an unusual propor
tionofshad will be thrown into our
waters. If, on the other hand, cold
waters should sweep down from tho
northern rivers, then the slum will
make a dead set for the Chesapeake,
and our lisherles will prove a failure.
t arm rains ami the nusenoj tit snow
in the mountains at the beginning of
the fishing season will also determine
the movements of these tish. If, in tho
early spring, they get up to tho mouth
of a river and find tho water warm,
then a tumultuous iii-h of shad and
herring takes p!a -e up tho river, and
tho markets will bo glutted, t trust
this will prove the caso this season."

They are simply rapids aud not cas

among rocks and over sloping ledges,
bin there is hardly anywhere a regular
fall over a precipice. At the fir.it cat

livo miles, aud the greatest descent iu
any one plaeo is twelve feet over a
linear distance of thirty yards. There
is a colony of Arabs living at tho falls
who mako their living by taking boats
either up or down, as may be required
tho upward navigation is performed
through a series of pools having some
resemblance to artificial locks, and the
descent is made over tho slope I have
mentioned and throii'rli pools quite tlis

tells us that the priests who had charge
of the udometer in tho time of the l'ha

that tho people could be defrauded bv

Mr, Robert Bonner tilves a
l!refleh.
"Now," said Mr. Bonner, "we wih
begin with her hind feet You observi
that only the imprint of her toes is vM
ble. The heels scarcely touch Xnt
(ground. She is literally walk.ng or
her toes. That arises from two causes.
First, the anterior part of tho hoof if
too long and the heels are too low. Hei
foot in front is what Dr. Robcrge and I
terra the 'wheel-shaped' hoof. It is too
convex. That tlirows the apex of the
cotlin bone too close to the in'eriot
journals of the lower coronal bone, aud
le.-trovs one-nan oi tne arucuiuuou oi
the cotlin joint The hoof must be fore
shortened, and when she is shod the
heels must be raised by a medium heel
caikiu. But this is not all. On tho oil
hind foot she has been more or less lame
for years. That arises from an excess
of growth on the insido branch of the
hoof, which mun be pareu uown 10 a
level with the outside branch.
The abnormal shape of three of tho
feet of Maud S. arises from the fact that
they grow more rapidly on the inside
than the outside branches. This is ob
served in both hind hoofs and fie near
fore hoof. While her hind feet are too
much wheel shaped, meaning convex,
her front feet are too much Dent, mean
ing concave, in the anterior part of the
wall. These malformations directly in
terfere with the articulation of the cotlin
bone. For instance, the heils of the
hind feet are too low, while the toes re
quire foreshortening, and the he. 'Is of
the front feet are too nign, wnicn ne
cessitates their material reduction.
This state of her feet has arisen from
injudicious paring. She was foaled
with perfect feet now they are mis
shapen from mismanagement. More
over, the articulation of the coflin joints
in all four feet is not only seriously in
jured, but. by reason of the excessive
heels in front, her lorwara stnuo nas
been materially lessened. This made
tho uso of toe-weights moro imperative.
At Lexington her front shoes weighed
fourteen ounces and her toe-weights
each livo ounces. She will eventually
attain her full si ride without the use of
toe-weights. The operations performed
to-day will not only prevent the sore
ness in the off hind foot, and take away
the enlargement on the near fore limb,
but materially lengthen her stride and
make her now almost perfect action in
fact absolutely faultless.
ow for the proots oi tns correct
ness of my positions. When the h;nd
toes were "fore-shortened, the impress of
the entire hind foot upon tho ground
was plain. Before, only the quarters
-nd toes left their imprints. In front
Maud S. has been troubled with severe
corns. 1 ho heels oi tne iront lore net
bore an undue shock at every foot-fall,
in consequence of their being too high.
That produced tho corns and shortened
her stride. Now tho heels have been
lowered the corns will disappear, and
tiie length of her stride will be extended
in front to harmonize with the change
of stride behind, produced by fore
shortening her hind toes and
raising
her hind heels by calkins.
15nt there is
another far-reaching consequence of
tho undue height of the inside branch
of her off hind foot to which I wish to
call your attention. In order to relievo
herself of the undue pressure of this
high in-ide, she not only pointed tin
no.tr hind foot inwardly, but she carried
the entire oil h nd limb rather sulewise,
more perceptibly under the c.:rc. ss.
than sho did the uear hind limb. Iu
other words, she favored the off hind
limb, and did not force it to do as
strong work as the other one. The
muscles of the off hind limb nre not so
fully developed as those of the near
hind limb. Iho inherence was more
perceptible when 1 bought her than
now, owing to the medical treatment
she has since received. 11ns dillereiiee
will still grow perceptibly less as the
hind fojt are kept levek" In t mo tho

A Confederate Tribute.
Mr. T. J. Mac key, formerly of the
Confederate engineers, relates a char
acteristic story of General Grant's gen-
eroity:
"Tho old hero took from his own men
and gave it to our starving boys after
the battle at Appomattox," said tho
speaker. "We were very agreeably sur
prised tho morning after we stacked
arms to see a long lino of white-covered
wagons winding into our camp. It was
General Grant's commissary train. Be
ing well aware of the fact that we had
subsisted for days on a few grains of
corn, the kind-hearted conqueror had
order .d his Commissary-General to de
liver his entire train to our men. Upon
discovering what their commander had
dono tho boys in blue made a grand
charge on our camp and generously
gavo up their cooking utensils to the
famishing Confederates.
"The true Confederate soldier," con
tinued the Major, "recognizes General
dr.int as a military commander who bv
his magnanimity Reserved victory, and
felt at Appomattox that it was no dis
houer to such a soldier. Ex-Confede

Why persist In ruining your digestion by
eating unwholesome food;- and keeping it
ruined by doing nothing to restore it to
usefulness, and right action! Some think
that dyspepsia is incurable. They are the

for dyspepsia, and am greatly benefited."
