Hints on Horse Flesh.

AS five years are required for the
completion of the bone structure of
the horse, it is important that he be
carefully used until that age. If he
is early overworked, the ligaments
which unite his one hundred and
thirty bones are prevented from be-
coming sufficiently fixed to the
frame, and he is dwarfed, and wears
out or dies long before reaching the
full twenty-five years which should
be the average duration of his life
and vigor. The muscles of a fine
horse ought to be thick and very
long thickness ensures strength
and length an extended sweep of
limb.
Properly constructed harness is as
essential to the comfort of a horse as
easy clothes are necessary to the COM
fort of a man. If harness is net well
fitted to the form, the veins are COM
pressed, circulation, is retarded and
disease ensures. When in motion,
the horse regulates his centre OF
gravity by using his head and neck.
| The check-rein is therefore inhuman
and injurious
| If horse is compelled to run when
| his head is held in a vertical position
| the gravity is thrown too far back
and he advances with difficulty
| The ears may be called indices of a
horses mind. Intelligent animals
prick up their ears when spoken to,
vicious ones throw their ears back.

Cistern Water.

Cistern water becomes foul and
offensive, because it contains a large
amount of organic matter derived
from the roof of the house, absorbed
from the air, etc. This matter NAV
be in the form of germs, or it may be
in the process of growth or decay.
1t may be vegetable or animal, or
both, the latter condition generally
prevailing. The matter undergoes
rapid growth and decay, and exceed
ingly rapid multiplication. When
the temperature is warm, as in the
summer, there are two ways to correct
the evil: First, by entire separation
of all organic matter from the water /:
second, 10y its complete destruction
while in the water.
The first object can scarcely be
accomplished, az no simple filter
would separate germs, and even if
separated the water could not be
kept for use unexposed to the air.
The proper method of publication
is, therefore, by chemical destruction.
This may be etfectually, economical
ly, and safely done by the perman-
ganate Of potasSa, used in the pro-
portion of about an ounce to fifty
gallons OF water. AS destructive
chemical changes take place, the or
ganic matter is reduced, and the
whole mass is precipitated as an in
ert and harmless sediment. The
chemical reaction is marked by a
purple coIoring of the solution, and
this color indicates the presence of
organic matter. The permanganate
should be added until this color dis
appears, when you may know that
the organic matter is entirely de-
stroyed for an infinitesimal guam
tity of the latter will be detected by
the former. This preparation of poo
ash may be obtained at any druggists.

THE "TOM Boy. n-Some persons,
says an exchange, seem still to en-
terrain the notion that young girls
need no training, except that Of the
mental faculties, that their forms are
of no less consequence than their
dress; and that a development of
physical strength would impair cir
delicacy, and tend to make them
masculine. BY restricting their
physical education and limiting the
sphere of activity, they are condemn
ed for life to enfeebled and an aiml less,
idle existence. Your pale, delicate
girl is "A 'good-for-nOthing-N Nan, "
while the romping, merry, laughing
Tom Boy" is full of life and vivaci-
ty, and as brimful of sweet affection
as a walnut is full of meat. Some
one has said that the "Tom Boyn is
an eager, earnest, impulsive, bright
eyed, glad-hearted, kind-souled spe-
cimen CT the "genus-feminine," and
we believe it. If her laugh is little
too frequent, and her tone a trifie too
emphatic, we are willing to overlook
these for the sake of the true life and
eNulting vitality to which they are
''escape-valves," and, indeed, we
rather like the high pressure nature
which must close on its superfluous
steam in such ebullitions. The
glancing eye, the glowing cheek, the
balmy breath, the 1.-THE and graceful
play Of the limbs, tell a tale of healthy
and vigorous physical developments
which is natures best beauty. The
soul and the mind will be developed
also in due time, and we shall have
before us woman in the highest
sense of the term. When the Tom
Boy has sprung up to healthy and
vigorous womanhood, she will be
ready to take hold of the duties of
life, To become worker in the great
system of hmanity. She will not sit
down to sigh over the "work given
