How To KEEP WARM o NIGHTs.-Open

the window that you may have constant
supply of pure air. The recipe is better than

of the thing is this: In close room the
lungs of an adult soon consume the oxygen
of the air, and the combustion, upon which
depends the supply of animal heat, measure.
bly, ceases, and chlliness is the consequence.
Open the window sufficiently to give a sup.
ply of oxygen and the constitution keeps the
heat of the body up to the natural point un-
til the supply of food is exhausted, and
sense Of hunger gives notice that more car
bon is needed. The truth Of this will be felt
by thousands who read this paragraph
Who has not gone to sleep in pile Of feath-

SMALL HoRsEs.-The arguments may all
be in favor OF great size, but the facts are all
the other way. Large horses are more liable
to stumble and be lame than those of the
middle size. They are clumsy, and cannot
fill themselves so quick, Overgrown animals
of oil descriptions, are less hardy than those
ofa smaller size. If theory is to be resorted
to in order to determine such questions, we
suggest to the lovers of overgrown animals
the following:
The largest Of any class is unnatural
growth. They have risen above the usual
mark, and it costs more to keep them in
position than it would were they on a
level with their species. Follow nature
IS II rule not to be forgotten by ftrm-rs.--
Large men are not the men for business;
large hogs are not the hogs to fatten best;
and large hens are not the best to lay eggs.
Extremes ure to be avoided. We want well
formed animals rather than such as have large
bones. Odd US il may be to the theorist,
short legged soldiers are better on march,
and officers say they endure hardships longer
than those Of longer limbs. On choosing a
horse, take care, by all means, that his legs
are short If they are long and split apart
like pair of dividers, never inquire the
price of the dealer Make no offer.-I Indiana

PURGAToRY.-h gentleman, who seems to
be sincere inquirer alter truth, addresses to
us by letter several questions as to the Ro-
man Catholic purgatory. He wishes to know
how long time, according to the Roman
Catholic teachings, is absolutely necessary
for getting out of purgatory poor sinner that
is burning there. ! nat, we take it, depends
upon the amount of money that his relatives
and friends are willing to pay for his extrica-
ton. If they were to pay not more than five
dollars ut n time for him, he would have to
stay in very long while. Ii they were to
pay hundred, he would get out great deal
sooner. If they should fork over thousand,
he would come so quick out of the fire into
the cool air that he would be very likely to
take bad cold.-Lou Journal
