CURIOUS FACTS.

1t is singular fact that even after
death nature respects the inherent mod
esty of woman, for when drowned she
floats on her face, and drowned man on
his back. The noblest part of the human
being is the head; but the mans head is
liable to badness, but woman's is never
bald. The mans face is often made re-
pulsive on account of harsh, growing
beard. and so covered with sordid hair as
sometimes scarcely 10 be distinguished
from the face of a brute beast; in woman,
on the other hand, the face always re-
mains pure and decent. For this reason
women were, by the laws of the twelve
tables forbidden TO rub their cheeks, least
hair should grow and obscure their blush
ing modesty. But the most evident proof
of the innate purity of the female sex is,
that woman having once washed is
clean, and if she washes in second water
she will not soil it, but that man is
never clean, though he should wash in
Ten successive waters, he would cloud
and infect them all.

HOW TO BE RICH.

The following mode of business max
inns, was adopted some thirty years since
by one of our exemplary merchants, who
has grown and prospered under them
until now, and whose firm was one Of

hangs was al! that was received for bad
debt of more than $1,000. The owner of
the framed sheet has often remarked
"that the sale was a profitable cne."
"How TO BE RIcH.-The way to get
credit is to be punctual. The way to
preserve 1t is not to use it much. Settle

Trust to no mans appearance-they
are deceptive-perhaps assumed, for the
purpose of obtaining credit. Beware of
gaudy exterior. Rogues usually dress
well. The rich are plain men. Trust

Never trust him who flies into passion
on being dunned, make him pay quickly,
if there be any virtue in law.
Be well satisfied before you give
credit that those to whom you give it are
safe men to be entrusted.

and never misrepresent them, fer those
whom you once deceive will be wary of

Deal uprightly with all men, and they
will repose confidence in you, and soon
become your permanent customers.
Beware of him who is an office seeker.
Men do usually want an Office when they
have anything to do. A mans affairs
are rather low when he seeks Office for

Trust no stranger. Your goods are

FEEDING HORSES.
man..


The practice of regulating the food of
horses by the amount of work they are
required to perform, is a good one, if
properly followed. For example, horse
when lyiHg comparatively idle, as in
winter, should have less solid food than
amid the hard work of spring and sum-
mer. Again, if horse is about to be
put to work of extra labor, it is well to
fortify him for it with little extra feed.
ing beforehand. But the mistake we re.
fer to is the practice of over feeding him
an hour or so before putting him to work.
If an extra service is required of horse,
on any particular day, and an extra feed
is to be given him, let him have it in the
evening beforehand, rather than in the
morning an hour or two before being put
to work. Why so? Because, If he is put
to work so soon after eating, his food
does not become digested, and he is
obliged 10 carry about with him a large
mass of undigested food, which is rather
a burden to him. lfhe is well fed in the
evening before, the food is assimilaied-
changed TO flesh and blood-and sends
health and vigor through all the system.
As general rule, working-horse should
be fed regularly. both as to time and the

No GALvANIc BATTERY.-Text Books
tell us of the Galuanic Battery or GAL
vanie Pile; Galrani did not discover or
invent this Battery, misnamed the Gal.
vanic Battery. The apparatus, designed
to produce current of dynamic electri-
city, called battery or pile, was given 10
the world, after Galvani's death, by the
original discoverer of the misscalled Gal
vanic Battery. by VOLTA an Italian.
Galvani did not work out all the teach
ings of his own discovery, being more
interested in demonstrating, as he did,
the existence of true animal electricity,
and never accepted even Volta's doc
trines, Galvani's labor are justly appre-
ciated now, but they were naturally
eclipsed by the splendid discovery of the
Voltaic Battery, and the crowd of wonders
following in its train.-.S .Silliman's Phi

The ART OF NOT QUARRELING.-Sen-
sible Husband: "How is it we never
quarrel, Mrs. XantiPpe2 Well, | will
tell you. You see. for a quarrel, and
especially good quarrel, it is necessary
TO have TO parties. One person can't
make quarrel. Now, if | am in a
quarrelsome humor, and break out, my
wife remains cool and collected, and
doesn't say word. If my wife is peey-.
ish, and displays more temper than is be-
coming 10 one of her beautiful sex |, her
husband, remain as unmoved as the Mon
ument, or else cheat myself into the belief
that | am listening for the moment to one
of Crisis heavenly songs. Thus, whilst
one party is volcanically foaming, the
other is as calm as potato. In all our
quarrels there is, in this way, always a
controlling power. Seriously, we never
quarrel, because there is philosophic
compact between us never to quarrel to-
gether. We only quarrel one at a time;
and it is astonishing, if you leave quar-
rel alone, how very soon it dies out /
That's our secret, Madam, and | should
advise you and all Xantippes to follow
it, Punch.

TO MANAGE A REARING HORSE.

Whenever you perceive horse's in
clination to rear, separate your reins and
prepare for him. The instant he is
about to raise, slacken one hand and
bend or twist his head with the other,
keeping your hands low. This bending
compels him 10 move hind leg, and of
necessity brings his fore feet down.
Instantly twist him completely round two
or three times, which will confuse him
very much, and completely thrown off
his guard. The moment you have finish
ed twisting him round, place his head in
the directian you wish him to proceed,
apply spurs, and he will not fail to 60
forward. II The situation be convenient,
press him into a gallop, apply the spurs
and whip two or three times severely
The horse will moi, perhaps, be quite
satisfied with the defeat, but may feel
disposed to try it again for the mastery.
Should this be the case, you have only
10 twist, &C., as before, and you will find
that, in the second struggle, he will be
more easily subdued than on the former
occasion; in fact, you will see him quail
under the operation. 1t rarely happens
that rearing horse, after having been
treated in the way described, will resort
to this trick third time.-Briish Sports

TESTIMONIAL TO PAUL MORPHY.

A number of gentlemen in New York,
among whom are Hon. John Van Buren
and others, have formed themselves into
committee for the purpose of securing
the necessary funds to present to Paul
Morphy, the brilliant chess player. a
national testimonial, upon his arrival
home, as an expression of the high ap-
probation in which his wonderful powers
as chess player and sterling qualities
as man, are held by his numerous ad-
mirers on this side of the water. The
testimonial proposed is set of gold and
silver chess men, exquisitely and elabo-
rately wrought, mounted on cornelian
pedestals, and accompanied with richly
inlaid chess board. In addition to this,
should the fund warrant it, a commemo-
rative medal will be struck, of which the
youthful champion will receive copy in
gold, and each subscriber 10 the amonnt
of five dollars. copy in bronze. To this
end the cooperation of chess players are
invited, aud of all those who take an
interest in the great achievements of Mr..
Morphy.

CATTLE YARDs.-ln regard to the
necessity for such divisions of cattle
yards as will give equal opportunities to
the animals confined therein for progress
and improvement the Prairie Farmer
says:
Large and small animals are turned
in Promiscuously together, and every
farmer knows that the large ones are
very ferocious and domineering towards
those much inferior, but careful not to
provoke the wrath of such as are nearly
equal. Turn these together that are of
a smaller size, and they viii be more
quiet. Calves generally are too much
neglected, and come out small and puny
in the spring. A good manager has q
spacious stable for calves in one of his
sheds moderately lighted, and well shell
tered from all currents of wind. This
apartment is kept clean, the calves fed
on good hay, and supplied with good
water. They present very different ap.
pearances from other calyers in the
spring.

GROSS ANDNET WEIGHT OF SHEEP.

A few years ago we ascertained the
live and dead weight of large number
of sheep slaughtered for the tallow near
this city, and found that the carcass
weighed about three-ffths of the live
weight. These were common sheep,
affording only about twelve pounds of
tallow. Had they been in been in better
condition, they would have afforded high
er proportionate weight of carcass.
In England, with the coarse-wooled
mutton sheep; fatted for the butcher, il is
generally estimated that stone live
weight Us lbs. viii give stone dead
weight (S lbs.) The live weight (ascer-
tanned after the sheep have tasted for
twelve hours) is divided by seven, and
this gives the weight of the carcass in
quarters. Thus sheep weighing, l4O
lbs. alive, is estimated 10 weigh 90 lbs.
per quarter. We have known whole
focks to exceed this estimate. The fat.
ter the sheep, the greater the dead weight
in proportion to the live weight Gsnesss
