The Horse.

The front Of the horses chest contains his
lungs, ty which he. breathss. Behind
them, separated by only thin Kind of a
skin, is the stomach, destined 10 receive
and digest the food. Each Of these OF
gans becomes larger when in use; the lungs
occupying more room when the animal is
moving about and breathing more quickly
The space they occupy is then so filled
that only one of them can be extended at
tipe, The horse can swell out his lungs
and breathe hard, trot or gallop fast, pro-
videG his stomach be empty; he can fill ii
with safety when at rest, or nearly so, till
the food Is digested. But if they are both
full, the greatest danger is TO be appreheu-
ded; the horse is sure to be blown almost
Immediately, because he has no room to
breathe, and apeplexy may cause the ani>
NAL to drop dead in q minute. No horse
should be allowed to get an unlimited sup
ply of food. A proper quantity, should be
given, and no more-enough to satisfy his
requirements, and then TO allow proper
time for him to digest it. Many a horse
has been killed from a fit brought on by
the corn bin having been left open st
night, thus giving him an opportunity to
gorge himself TO death with tae tempting
food.-Horse Book.

In the Garden or Plants In London, the
keepers were recently engaged in de-
stroyIng great number of rats, when one
Of them escaped and ran to the spot al,
lotted 10, the elephant. Seeing no other
refuge, in the twinkling of an eye the rat
snugly ensconsed himself in the trunk of
the elephant, very much to the elephants s
dissatisfaction. He stamped his foot and
twisted his trunk around like a windmill,
and then stood suddenly still, apparently
rejecting on what it was best to do.
Presently he ran to the water trough
where. he was accustomed to drink,
plunged in his trunk and filed ii, and
then raising it, dashed out The rat In a
torrent like that which issues from the
hose of a fire>engine. When the rat struck
the ground the elephant siezcd. him, and
made him undergo the immersion and
projection three or four times. The fourth
time the rat fell dead. The elephant,
with quiet but majestic are, crushed it
under his foot, and then went round to the
spectators 10 make his usual collection of

And the shark hovers nigh by the sea-

Telling Of caves where wrecked argosies

Where the diamond undimmed and the
