DESIGNATION OF HoRsEs.-I enclose an
extract from rare and valuable work. illns-
trating the different breeds of horses. Eng
lis published in London in 1920, bv the a9-
thor OF British Field Sports.' 1t throws
some light upon the question raised at the
Springfield horse show" what constitutes a
pony? Pr. B. in Country Gentleman.
"A Hack, iii our modern stable pbrase
signifies Road Horse, and not merely a horse
let out to hire, as some of the uninitiated sun-
pose. The British and Irish Hackney. with
respect to his proper average height, is from
fourteen hands one-haf to fifteen hands one
half; beyond the latter. unless the rider be
also topper. he had need carry pocket lad
der for mounting conveniences. Withresnect
to the DENOMINATIONS. the term of POM i
aapphed to all horses beneath thirteen hands IN
height; from thirteen to fourteen hands. =

FRYING PANs.-A single law passed by Con-
gress, surprising it had the power, and obeyed
by the people, would effect great reform in
the public health, diminish the business of
doctors and the demands for drugs, and prove
of incalculable benefit to this and future gen.
erations. Thus Be it enacted, that on the
first day of Januaey, 1866, every frying pan
in the United States be broken up, and sold
for old iron, and that no more be manufacture
ed hencefoIth forever. Frying is the most
unwholesome Of all mode of cooking. Every
thing cooked by this method is saturated with
fat or butter, rendered tough, covered with
empyreum oil, and made as unfit as possible
for the human stomach. No dyspeptic should
ever eat anything fried, and no one should
ever do so who wonld avoid becoming dys-
peptic. Let your food be boiled or roasted,
or baked even--anything but fried Frying
meat is the worst possible mode of cooking;
destroying whatever good qualities it may
possess, and exagerating all its badness. And
all this comes Of having frying pans, spiders,
and other cast iron denominations for making
food unwholesome. Good people, beware Of
the frying pan beware of the fat which it
scorches; and beware of the meat, and fish.
and eggs, which it renders unfit for food and
difficult of digestion, that your days may be
long upon the land. -NichoEs Journal.
