MOXA CCNES IN JAPAN.
A TrjIiiR Sunxleul Operation I'll lcnl
Aennv of Hi'1 1'nlloiit A Ctuo All.
All wore strip! to the vnit, and the old
prie.t made murks on their backs in sacred i
characters to imllcate where the moxa should
bo burned. Following him cnme a small bov
rith a lump of what appenrwl to be very
sticky dough in one hand. With dexterous
linden, this youngster pinched oir a bit of I
dough. Hilled it into u kuiiiII cone and stuck it
over t lie priot'r. murk. After him came a I
sUld, stoical youngster, who in tho nioteold
VUoded way touched a match to tho tip of
tho moxa cone and went down the lines giv
ing lights. It burned without llame, a slow
roil glow like charcoal consuming tho cono
down to the llo-li, whore it sizzled and smoked
for n few seconds, that must have seemed
year to tho victims. Searing with a red hot
iron would liquid; and humane treatment
compared to this slow eating lire of tho
tuoxa.
The men and women that I watched for
the few minutes that I could enduru it,
stood it heroically, but by tho tension of
every muscle in their backs and arms one
could judge of their agony. Olio old man
folded his arms, lieut his head over and in
dulged in suppressed chuckles that varied
with grams and hyMerical hat ha! haM A
woman buried her faco in a blue cotton
towel and made no sign or movement, while
two moxa cones were burning down and
into her llesh. A young man started to rock
to and iro when the lire began entering into
his very bono;., but soon stopped it, braced
himself and sat motionless. Tho priest hav
ing set his seal on his victims, sat down by a
brazier, put on his big seotades and was
soon lost in reading a pious book, wholly in
diirerent to the row of back's frizzling beside
him.
This Mine priest has some secret of compo
sition for hismo.x'a dough that has kept it in '
favor for many years, and about tho only
revenue of tho temple is from his patients'
fees. For rheumatism, lumbago and such
aches nud ills, it is most benelicial, and gives
quick relief to any 0110 heroic enough to en-
dure it. Tho Japanese retort to moxa for '
almost everything that ails them, and ono 1
sees coolies with their backs and tho calves
of their legs covered with moxa scare.

Sknte Patents Nearly Out.
Men who still consider themselves quilo
young and frisky remember that in their t
boyhood days there were no skates without
straps mid few without wooden footpieces. !
In their days thero wero but three kinds of i
skates high Dutch, which had tho runner
brought up in front into a big curl; low 1
Dutch, whoso curl barely camo up nbovo tho
wood of tho footpieco, and rocker dumps, '
which sheered at both ends, nnd wero tho
hardest of all to skato on. Then, too, most
skutes hail gutters in their runnel's.
In those days a cheap skato could Ins had
for fifty ecu's, but sonio of tho high Dutch
sold for $5 to 10 a pair. Then camo tho era
of patent, clumped and extension sUaU-s,
which were cither screwed to tho solo and
heel of tho shoi', or fastened to it by clamps
workiug on tho cam principle. These skates
were a vast improvement on the old stylo in
comfort, as they did not impede the circula
tion of blood in tho feet, as strap bound
skates did, nor did they require wood to bo
carried by tho cord to tighten them. They
were costly, tho gh, ami tho best of them
were equal in price to tho finest of tho old
style, and tlio cheaest sold for and SJJ u
pair. Xmv several of tho patents have ex
pired, nnd, as a consequence, tho hardware
stores are selling what may bo called a cheap
edition of a onco high priced patent skato for
sixty cents a pair. All tho loudiug skato
patents expire in a year or two, and then
there will Ins a great decline in their prices.

The whale was sighted early, and very
soon the boats were manned under tho lead
ershipof coinpet.-nt men. There proved tolo
two whales, a bull and n cow, as they aro
designated by the whalemen. They wero
playing a short distance from tho bench, and
at times reared their great bulk on tho top of
the surges, looking to an inexperienced ob.Jer
ver like great black threatening rocks, sud
denly, by some force, Knt to tho surface.
Then again, with a snort like tho ruh of air
out of a cavity which is suddenly lieing
forced full of water, the whole mass, without
any other motion, would drop out of sight.
Experienced eyes could trace tho motions of
tho monsters under water, and toll withsomo
certainty whore they wero likely to show
ngain.
The wind wns hif h. and the sen rolled with
great, heavy, menacing surges upon tho
beach. The cold was intense, but warmed
with the quick rush of blood due to tho ex
citement of th" moment tho peoplo rushed to
tho beach or thronged tho tall towers of tho
village chui-ehos. There ij u sort of excite
ment in the shout of "Whalel"' when re
peated by running men, which is contagious,
and when it rings through ono of these littlo
towns accompanied by the blo.viug of bonis
summoning the crews, and tho tramp of
hurrying feet as the hardy men rush away,
leaving other busmcs. to answer tho sum
mons and take their places in tho waiting
boats, which seiuh tho blood in surges to
ono's brain and puts new life in his limits,
and creates a dupositam to shout with tho
rest, although ho may not know for tho life
of him what all the commotion is about.
Tho sea did not prevent the launching of
tho boat, and amid tho shouts of "I'ulU''
"Holdl" "Let her go lively!" tho double
enders wero soon lieyond the.liuo of breakers,
nud the backs of the oarsmen v.ero bending
to their work, while the lineman nnd tho
boat steorer stood looking seaward from their
rcsiectivo iositions in the bow and stern of
tho craft.
From tho shore a shout goes up which is
meant ns a "liodsjieed'' and a recognition of
tho first danger passed. Tho work before
tho crews is full of perilous excitement. Tho
fact that there wero two w hales in sight, ap
parently mates, made the work oven more
dangerous, for aside from tho fact that tho
malo is inclined to bo more ugly, tho female
is apt to break up tho best calculations of tho
seamen in their attempts to kill tho mnlo
and at tho same time keep clear of his tre
mendous flukes, and, who i victory seemed
near, was liable to risu up under their boats
or in their midst and make tho battle one of
a desperate struggle for life on tho part of
pursuers as well us pursued.
On I ho boats went. Tho spray which
dashed over their bows transformed tho
clothing of the men into sheets of ice. Some
times tho boat would npiiear with alarming
distinctness on the cr.v top of a lingo billow
which, despite the bending oars, seemed roll
ing them irresistibly toward tlio shore, where
hundreds of anxious friends watched tho
battle. If it were a iles;cratos'rugglo to re
lievo a shipwrecked crew, the fight of. these
hardy men ag n'nst tho forces of nature would
bo heroic; as it was it evidenced a high stand
ard of personal bravery. Every timo tho
boats apjeared, disappeared and reappeared
on tho swell, it was seen they wero advanc
ing townrd the gume. No matter what tho
excitement on the shore, in tho loats all was
calm anil deliberate. Once the wind brought
tho hoarse notes of Capt. (lube's voice to tho
shore, and the s'.iout, "Thero sho blows,
boys!" was heard ns t!io boat's head was
turned slightly, and it was found that tho
old w haler had distanced the other boat and
wns heading for tho largest of tho two
whales.
Tlio boats hud gone about two miles to sea.
All sounds except the dull roar of tho ocean
wero lost; to those on tho beach, but earnest
men anil anxious wouioa wutched tho crows
through marine glasses.
"Capt. UalM Edwards is up with them,"
shouted an old bronzed whaleman, who was
out by age, and whose manner indicated that
ho was barely able to stand still on tho sand
du no which ho bad chosen as his jiolnt of ob
servation. "Yes, Gnbo is up with 'cm. Ho
has cleared away his harpoon. Ho is got it
over his head steady now steady look
out, Otdie let her go, whizz bang by gosh,
bo's fast to tho big fellow," and tho old man
partly slid and ran down tho bank, swinging
his arms nud hallooiugnttho topof his voice,
"Gnbo has fastened to tho whale," and sun
dry expressions of delight and evidences of
tho excited s.tnto of his mind.
Tho jieople on shore ran nlong tho bench to
keep abreast the boats. Capt. Edwards had
thrown his harpoon and fastened to tho bull
whale, nnd the light had commenced. Tho
ropo was whistling out over tho bow with ft
bound familiar to Mio old boatmen and not
unmusical. For u time they let tho monster
have his own way. Ho started.to sea at a ter
rible pace, the boat .trailing behind. Tho
ropo is tautened, but not sulllcient to stop it.
Tho men rest on the o-irs, ready at the word
of command to "hold," "pull'' or "stem nil."
The motion of tho w halo slackens. Ho has
sounded. Tho roo must I hi kept taut, as this
establishes n sort of telephone communication
between tho whale and tho boat. By this tho
whalemen aro kept informed of tho motions
of the whale. Tho ropo is hauled in slowly
and cautiously. It won't do to get too close
just yet. Tho wounded whalo rises with a
great sigh, which sends tho water spouting
into tho air. Klie other boats have como up
nud tho whale is liesK'o'isl. Suddenly ho darts
toward tho boats. Monster that ho is, over
sixty feet long, ho mm es with almost light
ning Sliced. The line is hauled in us rapidly
as osihlo, and tho oarsmen are bucking
water as fast as they can. "Look out for
him," shouts Cupt. Uube, as the hugo tail of
tho whalo rises high m the air and after de
scribing two or three graceful sweeps, comes
down with a crushing blow uxjii the water,
throwing the icy spray in every direction
and nearly swamping ono of tho venturesomo
boats. Down ho goes ugain and nwuy under
ono of the Utats, and olf likoashot toward
Montuuk jioint. Hut tho whnlo was not
quick euough to eenio four bomb lances,
which in rapid succession pierced his tough
hide.
They failed to reach h vital sjot, and only
added to the rage of tho whale. Out goes tho
line again. Tho crews are nearly rished
with the cold, but I hey have no timo to think
of that The whalo worth f-'.OOO. Tho
money is misled at home; and, beaides this,
they are working for glory.
Cupt, Joh Edtturds, uuotlier of tho veter

Arab Maxim on Equino
Treatment,
HOW TO D31VE A HORSE.
Tho Cutting1 of Green Feod and Giving
to the Stock Can Be Dono to
Advantage in Summer.
The Arab maxim is, drive a hore
with moderation until he has sweated
nnd dried oil' three times. If tho gen
eral condition" are right he can then bo
pushed with safety, provided he K a
suitable beast for driving, the object be
ing to make time. What aro the condi
tions? In a large degree these are the
mode in which lie lias been fed prior to
making the journey or taking tho drive.
It is a verv bad practice if vou have a
long or sliarp drive to Minfee, to feed
freely the day before entering upon this,
as not a few very indiscreet men have
done. The preparation, to lie of service,
should be continued for days, or even
weeks, that the system may be mnde
staunch by tho muscles being nourish d
for such n "period in advance of theellort
that the fibers will be linn and endur
ing under long and continued strain.
Being uon the road for a drive or
journey, if the horse s owa want of en
ergv, lielches wind from tho stomach,
and later passes it from the bowels, this
being accompanied by more or less dis
tension of the abdomen, he will cer
tainly.disappoint any reasonable expec
tations as to performance. U when in
good condition he has capacity for get
ting over the ground and showing power
of endurance, he will show neither while
in the condition referred to. The brain
is thill while indigestion holds away,
whether this be from recent overfeeding
or from long continued indiscretions na
to kinds or amounts of food given. Tlio
horse depends upon his brain for energy
as does tho man; and indigestion, aa
every man knows, will lower brain man
ifestations as it also lowers tho bodily
powers.
It ia n wise driver who closely ob
serves the condition a horse is in when
he starts out for a drive, whether this
bo a long or a short one. If the horse,
usually "up on the bit," ready ami will
ing to "reach out," starts sluggishly and
without spirit or spring in his gait, the
observing and considerate driver will
walk him for awhile, nwaiting develop
ments; as the horse, if usually willing
to perforin, will quicken his pace with
out any promptings as soon ns his brain
and miiscular system gets tho better of
the depressing influence that has held
him down. When a horse starts tardily
on hia journey or drive it will be found
that his Injst period of his performance
will come in late in iho day. That his
best period may show itself ell'ectively
making up for tho dallyings of the morn
ing it will Oe w en uuring tno nay 10 on
check, giving a little breathing spell now
and then, seeking shade if this can be
secured. Even if tho horse be per
mitted to take a few bites of grass at the
roadsido while unchecked great lenewal
of courage and energy will follow.
Always, when on the road, give the
principal feed nt night, as by adopting
this plan the liberal night feed will bo
digested and asyiinilation well under
way by morning. The morning and tho
noon feed should be light, and if the
horse has no feed at noon it will be ol
served that he will perform all t lit bet
ter for this absence of grain as the d-iv
draws to a closo. It will be o .served
that horsemen who hnvo made tho lit
ting of horses intended for great contests
upon tlio turf a life study harden tho
llesh by previous severe training, feed
ing well, but not grossly, tho while, but
as the day of trial comes uenr bulky
food ia withheld, that tho bulk of the
abdomen may be curtailed to the lowest
possible dimensions consistent with fair
nourishment.
Orccn Feed In Summer.
In many cases the cutting of green
feed and giving to tho stock can be done
to nn advantage. Tho Western farmor,
with cheap lamia and consequently cheap
pasturuge, would not care to follow this
plan with nil of his stock, ns the largo
amount of work necessary would in very
many cases make tho work unprofitable.
But nt tho same timo many contingen
cies will arise thnt a fow stock can lie fed
in this way to advantage. When the
work teams are kept busy it ia not al
ways tho best plan to turn thorn into a
lnrgo pasture and lot them run all night.
They need rest, nnd they will bo bene
fited by n feed of something fresh nnd
green, and the best way of supplying it
is by cutting off" tho grass nnd feeding to
stock in the stables. Hogs that are con
lined in close pens can always bo fed
green clover cut fresh every day. Milk
cows, even when they have tho run of
the pastures with other cattle during
tho day, will give moro and richer milk
if they aro fed grass or clover to them
selves at night.
Tho work teams and the milk cows
need a little lietter feeding during tho
summer than tho growing cattle or
horses, nnd in a majority of cases tho
most economical plan of furnishing it is
to have a patch of clover, ryo or grass,
nnd cutting and feeding every day.
Millet. Bweet corn or sorghum, or the
second growth of clover, can bo used
through the summer. It will bo best to
grow such crops for this purjwBe as can
bo cut, cured and stored nwny for nse
later, if not needed when matured suf
ficiently to harvest. Such crops should
be grown convenient to tho stables or
feeding lots so as to lessen the work in
feeding.
In many cases a patch that can lie
used in this way for all of the stock will
be found of considerable advantage dur
int! the latter imrt of summer when it so
often occurs that tho pastures fall to
supply plenty ol leeu. iJiit witn tne
teams and milk cows more or less can
bo turned to an advantage the greater
part of tho growing season.
