VIRALITY IN HoTsEs.-Some exper
iments have recently been made in
France by persons skilled in theveter-
Jnary art, with view of ascertaining
now long horses may live without
food in certain contingencies, as, for
example, being shut up in besiegcd
ptsccs. The following results have
been noted: A horse may live twen-
ty-fve days without solid food, and
merely drinking water He may live
seventeen days without eating or
drinking. He can live only five day 8
when consuming solid food without
drinking. After taking solid ailment
for the space of ten days, but with an
insufficient quantity of drink, the
stomach is worn out. The above
facts show the Importance Ofwater in
the sustenance Of the horse, and the
desire the animal must feel to be sup
piled with it. A horse which had been
deprived ofwater for three days, drank
eleven gallons in the space of three
minutes.

THE NEW ENLIsTMENTs.

The changes in the enlistment regulations
made by the war department, authorizing re
crutinp agents to muster men into the volun-
teer army Individually instead Of by regiments
will give a much-needed impulse to the SER
vice. At no time for many weeks has 1t seem
ed so necessary that every regiment called for
shouId be at once equipped and put into The
field. The old method, since the first rush
was over, has proved cumbersome and lmprac-
ticable, and many good men have hesitated to
enroll themselves while it remained uncertain
how long their inchoate regiments would be
only an experiment. The men, too, who have
been enrolled, receiving no pay till the regl
ment was accepted, have in many instances
become discouraged, disalfected, demoralized,
and in some instances provoked to desertion.
The difficulty has proportionately increased as
the number of those from whom recruits are
most readily drawn has been diminished by
enlistments. Under the new regulations the
men will be mustered into the regular service
as soon as enrolled, and sent at once to the
camps of rendezvous and instruction; from
which, if the regiment is not filled by the
time specified, they may be removed to any
properly organized regimental command. The
recruits receive the pay and position OF the
regular soldier from the hour of enrolment,
and are exposed to none of those Vexatious
and heart sickening delays which every true
soldier is most anxious to avoid.
