Many of these advertisements are traps laid for unwary fools by the kstOwing knaves who drive a regular trade iu "screws.” A "acrew" is inequine pareance fa unsound horse that looks like a sound one—a valuable animal in appearance; in reality a worthless brute. He is a sort of equestrian ohest, a will o' the wisp, leading men astray, a living lie, whose only sound point is his iron shoe, beneath which often lies some secret of the pedal- pri- son house. In company with a well-known veterinary surgeon I attended an auction sale on the west side of the city a few days ago, at which perfection of all sorts was adver- tied for sale. The tongues of the auctioneers were excellent; they would talk the birds from the trees, and, considering the fact that they possessed the "giftof gab" as highly as the most gifted orator, it is no matter of wonder - mens that a great many buyers suffering from a repletion of the breeches pocket were outwitted. The first animal offered for sale was 'five-year old mare, the property of a gentleman going abroad, a splendid step - 0 per, sweet goer, not afraid of elevated railroads and suitable for children." Such was the faoination of the animal that $200 were readily given for her. 'Now, said the veterinary surgeon, addressing the writer, 'that is a broken winded horse and belongs to the class usually known as 'whistlers.' The field of deception in this class of horses affords the dealer in 'screws' a more extensive field for exercising }'is ingenuity than any other class 1 know of. By keeping these animals short of water, as well as of hay, giving antimony, linseed mashes, physic grease dumplings, one and all of these treats according to circum- stances a dealer can bring a 'whistler' out of his stable seem- ingly sound; indeed, with a little walking experience previously the treatment seldom fails." The next feature of the day's bprogram was a splendid looking ay horse six old. The $100 agreed upon was paid ungrud- gingly by the begudgeoned buyer. He said he did not want a horse because every stall in his stable had its occupant, but such a chance seldom occurred, that not to improve upon it would be mad- ness. The veterinary surgeon smiled sarcastically at these re- ' marks and whispered in my ear. For the restoration effected and 'That is a lame horse." gray hair to its original color and 'But his feet are remarkably freshness, Ayer's hair Vigor re- . good looking.' I answered. mains unrivalled. This is the 'Oh, yes, but there are few most popular and valuable toilet persons who have not found out preparation in the world; all that a lame horse may go sound who use it are perfectly satisfied quite long enough to enable a that it is the best. knavish seller to pocket the price 'paid. The 'screw's' feet, for in- stance, well soaked, kept in clay or constantly saturated will exhibit for the time—being then insensible to pain—nothieg whatever to create suspicion, though the seller knows full well that the animal's navicular lame- ness is incurable, and renders it utterly worthless. Horses thus •diseased have re- markably good looking feet, and there is no unnatural heat dis- covered by the hand. If power- fully stimulated by a whip and spur, a horse lame in a small bnt equal degree in all bis legs will not betray lameness on either to any but an experienced, acute ob- server. There are almost as many de- grees of lameness as their are P,1'° horses, the disease differing in degree and in kind, in the mode as well as the time of developing. Perfect soundness, in the major- ity of horses at least, if at all, must be looked for till an eques- , trims millenium arrives. As many horses, particularly blood stock, sound ones, on mounting them, momentarily bend down beneath you with drooping croup and haunches almost to the ground, it is not al- ways an easy matter co discover a 'screw' of the 'broken or cricked backed kind.' A common device of the dealer in 'screws' is to christen one by the name of a well known horse, to which in appearance -and in appearance only of course—the advertised cheat beare some resemblance. An unsuspicious person reads an advertisement announcing the sale of a; 'Prince Royal' or 'Miss Woodford;' and Off' he flies to see the far famed horse. A good story, cut and dried, is prepared for the new- comer, and there is no lack of dr a mentary evidence. Ho buys the horse, and shortly nfterwards feels the mortifying conviction that he had been been most egre- gieusly .done for. Of the exi,tt'.ncd of spavins to be t'des, any one may satisfy bin. self by using, his bond and open- ing his eyes. Spavined ho4•t;es, Op being 04'01 t,ut of the stable, exhibit Wile or no degree of lameness until they have walked a little, but if subjected to a sharp and narrow turn at any time, the disease is palpable enough to any one who has eyes. FAMOUS WOMEN. It is a significant fact that most of the women who have achieved fame in art, literature, or'•af- fairs," have enjoyed vigorous health. Tibia shows that the mind is never capable of the severe and continued application necessary to creative work, unless the body is at its best. The woman who aspires to fill an exalted place a- mong her associates, must be free from nervous debility and female weaknesses. Dr. Pierce's Favo- rite Prescription will banish these and it is warranted to restore those functional harmonies which are indispensible to health. As a specific for all these chronic weaknesses and ailments peculiar to women, it is unequalled. There is talk of reviving what is known as the "sobering mach- ine" in Doylestown, Pa. It con- sists of the running gear of an ordinary wagon with the hind wheels taken off and a box fasten- ed to the axle. The victim is placed on the broad of his back in the box and run out of town. DON'T SWEAR When you break some fancy article prized•by your wife, don't swear, but go to your druggist, get a bottle of Stix, mend it, and make it almost equal to new. Minard's Friend. About a month ago the Princess of Wales had a sealskin jacket made for her lapdog in Paris, and the important fact was cabled over half the civilized world. It was not of any profotfnd degree of importance, but the result is amusing. One of the most ,prominent furriers in New York made twelve jackets for dogs immediately on seeing the news in the paper, and they were all sold within two weeks. The claims of the Princess of Wales to be a leader of fashion are .beyond dispute. Liniment Lumderman's MOTHERS? Castoria is recommended by physio - lane for children teething. It is a pure- ly vegetable preparation, its ingredients are published around each bottle. It is pleasant to the taste and absolutely harmless. It relieves constipation, re. gulates the bowels, quiets pain, cures diarrhea and wind colic, allays fever- ishness, destroys worms, and prevents, convulsions, soothes the child and gives it refreshing and natural sleep. Cas- toria is the children's panacea—the mother's friend. 35 doses, 35 Dents. Jan. 10, to Mar. 28. John Down was charged in the Toronto Police Court with • com- mitting an aggravated assault on his wife Libbie. According to her story, he knocked her, down and almost fractured her skull. He had not done a stroke of work for four months. The Magistrate de- cided to send h.m to the Central Prison for six , months. "It is not enough for him," exclaimed his wife, as she left the witness box; "he ought to get a year at least." The body of Luke Frost, aged 60, of Richland, N. Y., who was worth $40,000, was found on the track of the Rome, Waterdown and Ogdensburg railway at Rich- land road crossing, on Wednesday evening. The head bad been severed from the trunk.

The .,first ingredient in conver- cation is truth, the next good sense, the third, good humor, and the fourth wit. If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it; every arrow that flies feels the attrac- tion of the earth. Bad habits are the thistles of the heart, and every indulgence of them is a seed from which will spring a new Drop of weeds. Keep doing, always doing. Wishing, dreaming, intending, mourning, talking, sighing are idle and proftless employments. There is no real\ growth of character except by a conquest over opposing difficulties—the do- ing right when it is against our inclinations and prejudices. What inextricable confusion must the world for eyer have been ip, but for the variety which we find stamped in the faces, the voices, and the handwritings of men. Sufficient to each day are the duties to be done and the trials to be endured. No man is strong enough to successfully carry to- day's duties and to -morrow's anx- ieties piled on top. It is a high, solemn, almost aw- ful thought for every individual that his earthly influence, which had a commencement here, will never, through all ages, were he the very meanest of all, have -an end. Almost all of us live more in the future than in the present. Those who live mostly in the past I are on the high -road to worse sor- row than they know. To the healthy -minded the future has al- ways the treasure to which the p:.csont holds the keys. That every day has its pains and sorrows is universally ex- perienced, and almost universally confessed, but let ns not attend only to mournful truths. If wo look impartially about us, we shall find that every day has like- wise its pleasures and its joys. THE COMMON LOT. 'There is a place no love can reach There is a time no voice can teach There is a chain no power can break There is a sleep no sound can wake. Sooner . or later that time will arrive, that place will wait for your coming, thatchain must bind you in helpless death, that sleep must fall on your senses. But thousands more lengthen out their days by heedful, timely care. For the failing strength, the weakening organs, the wast- ing blood, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a wonderful restorative and a prolonger of strength and life. It purifies the blood and invigorates the system, thereby fortifying it against dis- ease. Of druggist: sufferers FROM Stomach and Liver derange- ments—Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Sick - Headache, and Constipation—find a safe and certain relief in Ayer's Pills. In all cases where a ca- thartic is needed, these Pills are recom- mended by leading physicians. Dr. T. E. Hastings, of Baltimore, says: "Ayer's Pills are the best cathartic and aperient within the reach of my profes- sion." Dr. John W. Brown, of Oceana, W, Va., writes : " I have prescribed Ayer's Pills in my practice, and find them ex- cellent. I urge their general use in families." - " For a number of years I was afflicted -with biliousness which almost destroyed my health. I tried' various remedies, but nothing afforded me any relief until I began to take Ayer's Hills."—G. S. Wanderlich, Scranton, Pa. "I have used Ayer's Pills for the past thirty years, and am satisfied I should not be alive to -day if it had not been for them. They cured me of dyspepsia when all other remedies failed, and their occasional use has kept ins in a healthy condition ever since."—T. P. Brown, Chester, Pa. ' having been subject, for years, to constipation, without being able to find much relief, I at last tried Ayer's Pills, and deem it both a duty and a pleasure to testify that I have derived great ben- efit from their use. For over two years pat I have taken one of these Pills every night before retiring. I would not willingly be witliout them."—G, W. Bowman, 26 East Main et., Carlisle, Pa. "Ayer's Pillg have been used in my family upwards of twenty years, and have coulpletely verified all that is claimed for them. In attacks of piles, from which I suffered many years, they afforded me greater relief than any med- icine I ever tried."—Thomas F. Adams, Holly Springs, Texas. Ayer's Pills 9 PREPARED BY Dr. J. C.
