The praotzob — which of late has become prevalent — of giving bot p"y remedies or ordinary colic drinks, without proper dis- crimination the moment a horse is taken bad cannob be too severely condemned. Many a valuable horse has been sacrificed through the owner not understanding simple symptoms So-called remedies, inimical to life under certain conditions, are ad- ministered, with the result that the disorder assumes an aGOte form, tho owner becomes alarmed, but alas iit is often too lato. W T Kingston has been wonderfully successful during the late epidemic among horses, Veterinary medioine can be obtained at a! I hours, either at his Veterinary Forge, Wills Street, or ab hie private residence, Grey StreeV, near High School. Horses (only) attended upon the shortesb notice.

An Experiment with a Boa Constrictor. One day a celebrated naturalist en- tered the shop of the late Charles Jam- rach, the noted London collector of ani- mals, and said, "JSTow, Jamrach, about the muscular power of the boa constric- tor — I suspect it has been exaggerated." "Not a bit, sir," said the collector, tak- ing a very fine specimen out of a box. '•He seems very lazy and sleepy," said the professor. "I don't think he could exert himself m this cold climate if he tried." "You bet, sir," Jamraoh said, and wound him gently around the pro- fessor's body. He laughed. "I thought so, Jamrach," he says. "I feel nothing." But presently he sings out, "Take him off, Jamrach 1 take him off, man; he's strangling mcl" so Jamrach just caught hold of the boa's tail and unwound him pff the professor, ring by ring. When he got his breath again, the pro- fessor admitted there was more "latent ninsouiarity" about tho creature than he ha# suspected. "Now, sir," said y Jam- raohafterward, "that boa was half asleep And stupid, for he had just swallowed two rabbits, six guinea pigs and thirteen pounds of raw beef. If he'd been fast- lug, it's my belief he'd haye swallowed the professor himself Jbodilj, f^r^Wlwas ft email gentleman.'' _~ (



iped with a few small cracks. The . [olinbury smash was nothing very seri- i is. ! But the man with the pole? Their « reserver, their friend. Where was he J LI this time? What on earth had \>Q- ariie of him? They looked along the line. They marched the track m vain. He had dis- ppeared as if hy magic. Not a trace T ould be found of him? After looking long and uselessly, again <^ ,nd again, the guard and the driver ( ioth gave it up. They had seen the man " Listinctly— not a doubt about that— and V Q ;o had several of the passengers as well. 3ut no sign of blood was to be discov- a ired along the track. The mysterious c jeing who, as they all believed, risked r. lis own life to save theirs had vanished \ is he had come, one might almost say J ay a miracle. i And indeed, as a matter of fact, when , [Jghtred Carnegie fell on the track be- I ( tore the advancing engine he thought Eor a moment it was all up with him. He was glad of that, too, for he had mur- dered Netta. He had saved that train, but he had murdered Netta. It would dash on now unresisted and crush his darling to death. It wasbetter he should die, having murdered Netta. So he closed his eyes tight and waited for it to kill him. But train passed on, jarring and scrap- ing, partly with the action of the brake, though partly, too, with the wheel dig- ging into the ground at the side; it passed on and went over him altogether, ooming as it did bo to a sudden stand- Btill. As it stopped a fierce joy rose up- permost m Ughtred's soul. Thank heav- en, all was well. He breathed once more easily. He had fallen on his back across the sleepers m the middle of the track. It was not really the train that had knocked him down at all, but the recoil of the telegraph post. The engine and carriages had gone over him safely. He wasn't seriously hurt. He vsas only bruised and sprained and jarred and shaken. Rising up behind the train as it slaok- ened, he ran hastily along the off side toward where Netta lay still and uncon- scious on the line m front of it. No body saw him run past, and no wonder, eitner t for every eye was turned toward the near side and the obstruction. A per- son running fast by the opposite windows was very little likely to attract attention at such a moment. Every step pained him, to be sure, for he was bruised and stiff, but be ran on none the less till he came up at last to where Netta lay. There he bent over her eagerly. Netta raised her head, opened her eyes and looked. In a moment the vague sense of a terrible catastrophe averted came somehow over her. She flung her arms around Uis neck. "Oh, Ughtred, you've come backl" eho cried m a torrent of emotion. •'Yes, darling," Ughtred answered, his voice half choked with tears, "I've come back to you now forever and ever." He lifted her m his arms and carried her some little way off up the left hand path. His heart was very full. 'Twas a terrible moment. For as yet he hard- ly knew what harm he might have done by bis fatal act. He only knew he had tried his best to undo the wrong he had half unconsciously wrought; and if the worst came he would give himself tip now like a man to offended justice. But the worst did not come. Blind fate had been merciful. Next day the papers were full of the accident to the Great Southern express; equally divided between denunciation of the miscreant who had placed the obstruction mth 6 way of the train, and admiration for the nef oic but unrecognizable stranger who had rescued from death so many helpless passengers at so imminent a risk to his own life or safety. Only Ughtred knew that the two were one and the same per- son. And when Ughtred found out how little harm had been done by bis infatu- ated act — an act he felt he could never possibly explain m its true light to any other person— he thought it wisest on the whole to lay no claim to either the praise or the censure. The world could never be made to understand the terrible dilemma m which he was placed — the one sided way m which the problem at first presented itself to him — the deadly struggle through which he had passed before ho could make up his mind, at the risk of Netta's life, to remove the obstacle. Only Netta understood, and gyen Netta herself knew no more than fchf&-- that Ughtred had risked his own life to save her ; ' .- «j
