HOW TO CURE HOVEF.

If any cattle should become hover,
they may be promptly relieved by the
following simple process AS soon as
you discover The affection, which you
will know by their swollea appearance
and uneasy movement, make stout rope,
well twisted, about as thick as your wrist,
turn the COW into her stall, AMI putting
the rope into her mouth, tie it over the
top of her head behind her horns; secure
it well and turn her loose. In her en-
deavors to get rid of the rope, she viii 50
turn up her head as 10 allow the escape
of the gas, and in fifteen minutes she will
be relieved. Some six years ago, We
found six of our cows thas affected at the
same time. Having somewhere read Of
the above remedy, we tried it, with i'm
mediate success the cattle were 50
much affected, that they must have died
if not relieved. We have seen it tried
several times, and always with success.
Louisville Journal.
Last week a fine Devon heifer was ia
ken with hoven. She was caught, and a
couple of slices of fat salt pork put down
her throat. She was well in short time.
This has always proved sure remedy
with us.-Prairie Farmer.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF RAIN.

To understand the philosophy Of this
beautiful and often sublime phenomenon,
so often witnessed since the creation of
the world, and essential to the very exis-
tence of plants and animals, a few facts
derived from observation and long train
Of experiments must be remembered.
1. Were the atmosphere everywhere,
at all times, al a uniform temperature,
we should never have rain, or hail, or
snow. The water absorbed by it in evap-
oration from the SEA, and the earth's sur
face, would descend in an imperceptible
Vapor, or cease TO be absorbed by the air
when it was once fully saturated.
2. The absorbing power of the atmos-
phere, and consequently its capability to
retain humidity, is proportionably great.
er in warm than in cold air. The air
near the surface of the earth is warmer
than it is in the region of the clouds.
The higher we ascend from the earth,
the colder do We find the atmosphere.
Hence the perpetual snow on very high
mountains in the hottest climate. Now
when from continued evaporation, the
air is highly saturated with vsPor, though
if il be invisible and the sky cloudless, if
its temperature is suddenly reduced by
cold currents descending from above, or
rushing from higher to lower latitude
its capacity 10 retain moisture is diminish
ed, clouds are formed, and the result is
rain. Air condenses as it cools, and,
like sponge filled with water and COM
pressed, pours out the water which its
diminished capacity cannot hold.
How singular, vet how simple, the
phil Jscphy of rain What but an On
nisuience coulI have devised such an ad-
mirable arrangement for watering the
earth -Scientifc Journal.

MASKS IN THE WORLD.

Well spoke the great philosopher,
"The heart knoweth its own bitterness"
Some time ago we passed along street,
one of the shops in which had this sign
-"Mask maker. Masks of any size
or pattern made to order on the
shortest notice." OF course our old
habit of moraliziug came upon u.s.
"Mask-maker." Exactly. Yes, there
it is; there is no mistake about it. live

why out Of every twenty persons you
meet are not fifteen masked? There is
the sedate looking gentleman with white
cravat and spotless linen. His careful
wife, anxious that his appearance should
not betray the poverty of home, or in
jure her reputation for neatness and fru-
gality, has done all that female hands
can do to give him the appearance
OF clergical responsibility among his
CO. o-presby ters. But his heart is sad, and
his mind bewildered with apprehensions
of disaster The man wears a mask
There is the active citizen, nimbly step
ping on the pavement, with smile of
recognition to every brother merchant he
meets. You pass him in the crowded
thoroughfare, and mentally place him in
the category of prosperous men, whose
smoking dinners are paid for before
hand, and whose balance in Lombart-
street suggests the prOpriety of retire
ment to Tunbridge Wells or Brighton.
Poor man! the ghost of dishonored bills

HOW TO DETERMINE THE HIGHT A
COLT WILL ATTAIN WHEN FULL
GROWN.

Mr.. ]. R. Martin, of Lexington, KY,
gives out the following upon this point -
al can tell you how any man may know
within half an inch, the hight colt will
attain to when full grown. The rule may
not hold good in every instance. but in
nine casCs out of ten it will. When the
colt gets TO be three weeks old, or as soon
as it is perfectly Strengthened in its
limbs, measure from the edge of the hair
on the hoofs to the middle of The first joint.
and for every inch, it will grow to the
hight of hand of four inches, when its
growth is mstured. Thus, if this distance
be found sixteen inches, it will make
horse sixteen hands high.
By this means, man may know some-
thing of what sort of horse, with proper
care, he is to expect from his coli. Three
years ago, bought two very shabby
looking colts for twenty dollars each, and
sold them recently for 5000. So much
for knowing how to guess properly at a

with his adversary with the
energy of despair, dealing the death
stroke with rifles, sabres, or whatever
missiles may be within reach. The Tex
ans are almost buried beneath the num-
bers of their opponents. The carnage
has been so terrible that the slain are
piled up in heaps. Death stares each
survivor in the face, yet still he strug-
giles on. Crockett has been conspicuous
in the melee, wherever the blows fell
hottest and fastest. He has forced his
way over piles of the dead bodies of his
enemies, and has reached the door Of
the chapel. Here he determines to make
his last stand. At one glauce of his eye
he sees that the fate of the Alamo rests
upon himself alone, and that fate moth
ing can avert. Travis has fallen; Evans
is no more; Bowie expires upon bed of
sickness, pierced to the heart by Mex
ican bayonet Borham falls directly be-
fore him, and he finds himself the only
living warrior of the one hundred and
sixty three who had been his compan-
ions. Perhaps at that moment, the life
blood creeps to his heart by natural
impulse; but is only for a moment. The
desperation of his position sends it back
with the force of an avalanche. His
foes glare on him with the ferceness of
demons, and assault him with blows from
muskets, lances and sabres. The strength
of hundred men secm concentrated in
his single arm, as he deals out death to
bis pitiless and unsparing assailants.-
Their bodies have grown into a rampant
before him. Blackened with FIRE and
smoke, besmeared with blood, and rous-
ed into frenzy, he stands like some fabled
god of antiquity laughing to scorn the
malice, and the power, and the fury Of
his enemies. New FIRE flashes from his
eye, and new vigor nerves his arm. On
his assailants rush, but it is upon death,
certain and immediate. They fall-bat
their places are still supplied; and SC
quickly. the dead seem to rise up before
him, like armed men from the teeth oI
Cadamus. At length ball from an un,
seen rifle pierces him in the forehead
he falls backward to the earth, in the
streams Of gore which curdle around
him. No grOan escapes bis lips; nc
cry of agony gratifes the implaca5le
rancor of his enemies he dies-and
the Alamo has fallen.-Putnon1's Mag.
