Treatment of Horses when Heated
Men and horses, remarks the New
England Farmer, are the only animals
that sweat. So say the medical men,
whose business it is to investigate the
wonderful mechanism of both The OK
cools off by accelerated respiration; if
heated in the furrow, he partially opens
his mouth, drops his tongue, and by
rapid respiration or breathing, throws
off the. excess of heat which has ac-
cumulated in the system. The dog
which runs at the side of the carriage
through the immense heat OF July
sun, may dash into the cool spring
with impunity, and returns refreshed,
having no perspiration to check, ''when
men or horses, submerged in a similar
manner, would suddenly check per-
spiration, and if they survived the
shock, it would be but to die with
acute or chronic inaarr,rn alton" In
violent motion, the respiration of both
man and horse is increased, but not
sufficiently so as to carry off the heat
that is generated; they perspire through
the skin, the pores of which become
opened or enlarged, and it is while in
this condition that both are exceedingly
liable to be injured, and when great
care is necessary to preserve the health
of either.
We saw noble-looking animal the
other day standing by the roadside.

apparently highly heated. There he
stood. unchecked by rein or halter,
faithfully awaiting his masters return.
The cold was intense, the mercury
being below zero! Impatiently he
paved the ice under his feet champed
the bit, and wildly flung his head from
side to side, while his lips were con-
tracted and nostrils collapsed, giving
him fierce and unnatural appearance.
No blanket covered his wet and heated
body, while the keen morning air froze
stiff the moist long hairs that stood out
from the skin. He was evidently suffer-
ing intensely. And this is no uncommon
sight. So little is still known of the
physiology and functions of the horse.
that the man who would refuse an ex-
travagant price for a favorite animal,
suffers him TO stand in the condition
which we have described. Ifthe horse
escaped an attack of collie or violent
Inflammation in some shape it was
good fortune, and not from any wisdom
or humanity on the part Of his owner,
Even in mild weather, though it may
be summer, men or horses should not
remain quiet in a cold draft when
heated and wet with perspiration.-
Millions of the colds complained OF
would be prevented by observing this
simple rule, and thousands of valuable
lives preserved which are now Annually
extinguished.
: But you who value the noble animal
which you control, when yon rein up''

pend upon it you will tind it cheaper
than physic, travelling on; foot, or draw

The One Plank.-A Russian ship-of-
war was overtaken by violent storm
on the coast of Kamschatka, stranded
and dashed 10 pieces upon reef. A
sailor attempted to reach the shore
upon fragment of the wreck. In a
little while he perceived one Of the
officers, NJ Minski, struggling with
the waves, and offered him share OF
his plank. No my boy" he said, it
is too light for two of US; God has
given it TO you-keep it, and 90 and
tell my wife that die with her upon
my mind. The sailor urged-the officer
again declined. This noble combat
lasted but an instant, when, seeing his
superior determined to refuse this an
chor of safety, the sailor pushed the
plank with all his force towards him,
and sank in the waves The officer

4 Singular Traditioa.-Among the
Seminole Indians there is a curious
tradition regarding the white mans
origin and superiority. They say that
when the Great Spirit made the earth
he also made three men, all of whom
were fair complexioned; and after
making. these, led them to the margin
of small lake. and bade them leap in
and wash. One Immediately obeyed,
and came out purer and fairer than be-
fore; the. second hesitated until the
waters, agitated by the first, had slight
ily muddied, and when he had bathed
came up copper colored; the third did
not leap in until the water became
black with mud, and came out with its
own color. The Great Spirit laid be-
fore them three packages of bark, and
bade them choose, giving to the black
man the first choice. He took hold of
each of the packages, and having felt
their weight, chose the heaviest; the
copper colored man then chose the
second heaviest, leaving the white man
the lightest of all. When the first
package was opened, it was found to
contain spades and all the implements
of labor; the second, hunting, fishing
and warlike instruments; the third,
pens, ink and paper-engines of the
'mind-the means of mutual improve
,ment--the social link of humanity
the foundation of the white mans su-
periority. U
