SALT FOR HoRsEs.-A person who
kept sixteen horses made the following
experiment with seven of them which
had been accustomed to eating salt in their
feed. Lnmps Of rock salt were laid in
the hangers. These Jumps previously
weighed, were examined regularly, to
ascertain what quantity weekly had been
consumed, and it was repeatedly found
that. whenever these horses were fed on
hay and corn, they consumed only two
and a half or three ounces per day, and
wnen they were fed With new hay they
took six ounces per day. This fact
should convince us of the expediency Of
permitting our cattle the free use of salt
at all times: and it cannot te given in so
convenient a form as rock salt, it being
much more palatable than the other in a
refined state, and by far cheaper. A
good lump should always be kept in a
box by the side Of the animal without
fear that it will ever be taken to excess.

INTERESTING TO PARrSTs.-The fol-

tion should arrest the attention OF pa

Poisonous Ctlored Contfcfjonay.-
The Lancet" Commissioners, in report
ing the result of their investigations re-
specting colored confectionery, express
their surprise at the extent to winch
deadly and virulent poisons are daily
made use of bv the manufacturers of
these articles. One hundred and one
samples were analyzed; and of the yell
lows, seventy contained chromate oflead
and colored gamboge; seventv-nine of
the reds contained cochineal, red lead,
and bi-sulphuret Of mercury; eight of the
browns contained ferruginous earths,
either Fandyke, brown, umber, or sien-
ma; two of the puppies contained Prussian
blue and cochineal; thirty-eight of the
blue contained indigo, Prussian blue, Ant
werp blue, and sulpburet of sodium or
alumium; nineteen of the greens con-
tanned Brunswick green, consisting of a
mixture of chromate of lead and Prus-
sian blue, verditer or carbonate of copper,

The above colors were variously COM
bined in different cases, three and even
four poisons occurring in the same parcel
of confectionery. In four of the sam
Piles the colors were painted on with " hite
lead or carbonate Of lead: thirteen of the
samples were adulterated with hydrated
sulphate Of lime; seventeen samples
were adulterated with wheat -four, three
with potato flour, and one with arrow
root.

The process of disinfectiDg the foul air b

of hot quick lime. Stacked at the time /
Is used, and while hot pour the mixtur,
after it has been thoroughly stirred, IMP

vert The impurities into ammoniacal "a,

use of one hundred pounds of soda aS
per annum in sink will render the scaS
anger wholly unnecessary, and prevet
the accumulation of noxious, putrid anl
unwholesome gases. Potash will answe
the same purpose as soda ash, but it is a
present more expensive.
In the country where deep vaults ar
not provided, out houses often have
putrd, nauseating atmosphere; in such
the free use of common wood ashes
mixed with hot quick-lime, fresh Stacked
will destroy the effiuvia.
in using soda ash, a gallon of boilInI

LEARNING TO SPELL.-Bad spelling is
very discreditable. Every young man
should be master Of his native tongue
He that will not learn to spell the Ian
guage that is on his tongue and before
his eyes every hour, shows no great ap-
titude for the duties of an intelligent, OBJ
Eserying man Bad spelling, therefore,

Gates blundering mana man that can
not see with his eyes open. According
ly we have known the application of
more than one young man made with
great display of penmanship and parade
of references, rejected for his bad spell

Bad spelling is very bad indication.
He who runs may read it. A bright
school boy, utterly incapable of appreci-
ating your stores of science, art and lit
erature, can see your bad spelling at
glance, and crow over it. 1t WILDE hard
to inspire that boy with any great respect
for your attainments. Bad spelling,
therefore, is a very modification and

ashamed of their deficiency in this res

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND THE
BCTToN-MAKER.-In the middle of the
battle of Waterloo, the Duke saw man
in plain clothes, riding about on cob
horse in the thIckest fire. During tenn
porary lull the Duke beckoned to him,
and he rode over. He asked him who
he was-what business he had there
He replied, he was an Englishman, ac-
cidently at Brussels, that he had never
seen fight, and wanted to see one
The Duke told him he was in instant
danger Of his life he said, Not more
than your Grace" and they parted. BIT
every now and then he saw the cob-man
riding about in the smoke, and at last
having nobody to send to a regiment. he
again beckoned to this little fellow, and
told him to go up to that regiment and
order them to charge. giving him some
mark of authority the colonel would re-
cognize. Away he galloped, and in a
few minutes, the Duke saw his order
obeyed. The Duke asked him for his
card, and found in the evening, when the
card fell out of his sash, that he lived at
Birmingham, and was button manufac-
turer. When at Birmingham, the Duke
inquired OF the firm, and found he was
their traveller, and then in Ireland
When he returned, at the Dukes re-
quest, he called on him in London. The
Duke was happy to see him, and said he

such sad sasJe with salt We -.
that it has long been deemea agreat 1e-
sideratum to find some means Of Keeping
it out of the timberea sides of vessels
According TO the Washington Globe, this
has been at length discovered by gov
ernment naval aaspector at the Gosport
station, near Norfolk, Va The Globe
says:
"Among other experiments, he sunk
pieces Of wood under water, covered on
all sides and one end, with various paints.
When he took up the wood, he found
tina! nothing had had the least effect in
keeping out the worm. except zinc paint
and where wood had been painted with
it, there was not single instance in
which the worm had entered it, except
at the end where it was not painted
He found, moreover, that pieces of cop
per, and of iron, which he had sunk COW
cred on one side with zlnc paint, and On
the other with some other kind, perfect
ly clean on the side covered with zinc
paint, but very foul with barnacles, &C.,
on the side covered with other paints
Many of the samples may be seen in the
room occupied by Commodore Smith, in
the navy department, where We have
examined them three several times.
1t is certain that zinc paint will keen
out these worms for one season, and NAV
for aught that is known keep them out
for many years. If it should keep them
out for two years, it Is very valuable
discovery"
