Nothing betrays so much as the voice,
save perhaps the eyes, and they can be
allowed, and so far their expression hid
den. In moments of emotion no skill can
hide the fact of disturbed feeling, though
a strong will and the habit of self control
can steady the voice when else it would be
failing and tremulous. But not the stron-
gest will, nor the largest amount of self
control, can keep it natural as well as
steady. 1t is deadened, yelled, compressed,
like wild creature tightly bound and un
naturally still. One feels that it Is done
by an effort, and that if the strain were
relaxed for a moment the wild creature
would burst loose in rage or despair, and
the voice would break out into the scream
of passion, or quiver away into the falter
of .pathos. And this very effort is as ell
oquent as if there had beeh no holding
down at all, and the voice had been left to
its own impulse unchecked.
We all know the effect, Irritating OF
soothing, which certain voices have over
us and also we have all experienced that
strange impulse of attraction or repulsion
which comes from the sound of the voice
alone. And, generally, if not absolutely
always, the impulse is true one, and any
modification which increased knowledge
may produce is never quite satisfactory.
Certain voices CRATE on our nerves and
set our teeth on edge, and others are just
as calming as these are irritating, quiet rs
like composing draught, and setting
vague images of beauty and pleasantness
aflOat in orr brains.
A good voice, calm in tone and musical
in quality, is one of the essentials for g
physician-Ihe "bedside voice." which is
nothing if it is not sympathetic by consti
tuition. Not false, not made up, not sick
ly, but tender in itself, of a rather low
pitch, well modulated, and distinctly har-
mOniOus in its notes, it is the very opposite
of the orators voice, which is artificial, in
its management and made voice. SAT-

strinehaIt Horses.

This blemish in horses has been defined
to be "a nervous affection for which there
is no cure" Until recently this defn;-
ton would have been accepted as genu-
inc. A more thorough knowledge Of the
veterinary srt, in connection with closer
anatomical knowledge of the horse, has
rendered that Aersion obsolete.
This affection is now shown TO be, not
one originating IN nervous debility, but
one arising from the strain and conse-
quent inflammation of an elastic cord, ex-
tending from the hook to the hoof Joint.
This cord lies Immediately under the main
middle vein, and in case of strain, the in
hammation which ensues may affect the
nerves and other parts in sympathy, call
ing off the mucous secretions, rendering
this cord elastic, and thus cansing britch
or halt.
If the skin is slit by a skillful and
steady hand, four inches above the hoof
of the affected leg, and this cord be care
fully drawn out with an awl and severed
it will relieve the horse of ali lamsness as
soon as the wound is healed, and expert
ence has shown that no injury results
from the operation The incision should
be washed often with warm CASTLE soap
suds, and annointed with sweet oil, OF
some healing ointment, and the horse
kept quiet till the cure is effeeted.-R7trai

Observation-Disclosures.

A story of close management is told
about Yanke who lately settled down in
the West. He was the picture of a mean
man, but as he put himself to work in
good earnest to get his house to rights, the
neighbors lent him hand. After he had
everything fixed to his notien, a thought
struck him that he had no chickens, and
he was powerfully fond of sucking raw
eggs He was too honest to steal them.
At last a thought struck him-he could
borrow. He went to a neighbor and thus
accosted him =
''Waal, I reckon you haint got no old
hen nor Dothing you'd lend me for a few
weeks, have you neighbor 2"
81 will lend you one with pleasure" )" re-
piled the gentleman, picking up the very
finest in the coop.
The Yankee took the hen home, and
then went to another neighboI and bOr-
rowed a dozen eggs. He then set the hen,
and in due course of time she Matched a
dozen chickens.
The Yankee was again puzzled; he
could return the hen, but how was he to
return the eggs7 Another idea-and who
ever saw live Yankee without one ?-he
would keep the hen until she had laid O
dozen eggs.
This he did, and then returned the hen
and eggs to their respective owners, re-
marking as he did so:
"Waal L reckon I've got as fine dozen
of chickens as you ever laid your eyes on,
and they didn't cost me a cent nuther."

A Solemn Joke.

One of the clergymen of Peoria, ILL.,,
has been put in a parsonage that does not
come up to his idea of what q minister
should enjoy. Recently he was called up
on to announce that there would be mite
society at the ministerial dwelling. He
said
''There will be a mite society on Thurs
day evening next at the parsonage. The
parsonage is little, old, tumble-down
building on - street"
Some of the older ones of the congre-
CATION took umbrage at this, while the
younger ones laughed. In the evening
the parson was called upon to make the
same announcement. After saying the
mite society would be held at the parson-
age, he paused a moment and then re-
marked:
"On the corner of the street, near my
residence, is a well. Said well is covered
over and clapboarded. 1t is unpainted
and weather-worn !; but wish to describe
1t so that none of you may mistake and
take the well for the parsonage. The
mite society will be held in the parsonage,
and not in the well -

Our NeIchbo1. E.Innet Mars.

A pamphlet by Mr.. Proctor, a well.
known astronomer, written to accompany
some stereograms of Mars, calls attention
anew to the very great similarity between
this planet and our own earth in many
points of its physical condition, and in
fers, as has been before suggested, its en-
tire adaptation to the requirements of
living creatures such as those that now
people the earth. The polar ice can read
lily he distinguished, extending its borders
in the winter, and contracting in the
summer. An atmosphere, carrying clouds,
and mIsts with definite qualities, is readily
appreciable; and the indications of rain
and snow are not wanting. How soon it
will be possible for us to determine the
nature of the inhabitants of the planet,
since we can scarcely refuse to believe in
their existence-is yet a matter of uncer-
tainty; but it is to be hoped that the time
Is not very far distant when we may arrive
at some definite conclusions in regard to
them.

Farm Accounts.

The methods and results of farming are
in general so defective and unsatisfactory,
that large amount of 'tnoral courage'' is
deemed necessary fairly to face accounts
at the end of the year, and look over tie
balance-sh 1t may be said, and with
much truth, that most farmers have no
accounts to examine, and as to ''balance.
sheet, +" they do not know the meaning of
the term. 1t is, indeed, a pity that far
mers give so little attention to book
keeping in connection with their vocation.
The value of systematic, careful record
of labor performed. and of crops, purcha-
ses, and sales, and also of the weather
from day to day, has never been properly
estimated. A man cannot have much
self respect, nor be mindful of his true
interests, who does not use his pen daily
in keeping accurate accounts of receipts
and disbursement. Those who do not do
this rest upon an unsHbstantial basis; eve
rYthing is at loose ends, and they become
the easy victims of fraud and dishonesty.
Farm books should be systematically
arranged and carefully kept. We should
know at the end of the year how the ac-
count stands. No matter whether the
balance is on the right or wrong side of
the ledger, there Is high satisfaction in
knowing the truth if we have made mis-
takes, or met with mlsfortunes, we want
to have the facts recorded for our better
guidance in the future; if we have been
successful and made money, then we know
we are on the right track, and the assur-
ance of being right increases our conf
deRce, and doubles our strength for future
work. JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY.

Feeding Dairy Cows.

At some of the Dairymen's Conventions
that have been recently held in various
places this matter has been discussed by
different parties, and all seem to be i'm
pressed with the idea, as brought out by
the relation of several actual experiences,
that in order to obtain the largest amount
Of actual profit from COWS kept for the
sake of their product, in the form of but
ter and cheese, it is necessary to give
them some extra feeding IN the summer
beyond what they obtain from the pas
lures. One told of expending $25 per
head on his COWS from March to Novem-
Der, over and above the value of their
pasturage. During April and May he
gave each COW a mixture composed of four
quarts of corn and oatmeal, one quart oil
meal, and eight quarts bran per day, IN
addition to hay After they went to grass
the meal and hay was left off, and twelve
quarts of bran per day was given. As soon
as sowed corn was fit to cut for fodder,
and the pastures began to dry up. he gave
them cut fodder in addition. His COWS
gave an extra yield under this treatment
/ of 200 pounds of cheese each over COWS on
pasture alone, and were besides. quite fat
at the end of the season, and so worth at
least $40 per head over what they would
have brought if IN ordinary condition.
So that for an investment of $25 each he
realized $35 each, or $40 profit per head
over what he would have had on pasture
alone. Besides this, the extra feeding en-
abled him TO keep forty cows on pastur-
age that without it could have kept but
thirty-two, and this added to the profit
made on the feed, gave him an extra profit
of S5755 oyer and above what he would
have had without using the extra feeding.
This matter of extra feeding of cows when
at grass ought to obtain place with our
best dairymen. and the actual results Of
even soiling the cows with corn fodder
while at grass, would, no doubt, show
largely in favor of the practice Weekly

family was taking SUPPER to get his share

ATruthruI sketch.

Let man fail in business, what a won
derful effect it has on his former friends
and creditors. Men who had taken him
by the arm laughed and chatted with him
by the hour, shrug up their shoulders and
pass him by with chilling snow do you
do?" Every trifle of bill is hunted up
and presented that would not have seen
daylight for months to come, but for the
misfortune of the debtor. If it is paid,
well and good; if not the scowl of the
Sheriff perhaps meets him at the corner.
A man that never failed knows but little
of human nature. In prosperity he sails
along gently, waited by favoring smiles
and kind words from everybody. He
prides himself on his good name and spot
less character, and makes his boast that he
has not an enemy in the world. Alas |
the change. He looks upon the world in q
different light when reverses come upon
him. He reads suspicion on every brow.
He hardly knows how to move, or wheth-
er to do this thing or the Other-fOr there
are spies about him, and writ ready for
his back. To understand what kind of
stuff the world is made of, a person must
be unfortunate and stop payment once in
lifetime. If he has kind friends then
they ARE made manifest. A failure is q
moral sieve-it brings ont the wheat and
shows therhaff. A man thus learns that
words and pretended good will do not
constitute real friendship.

WHAT MAKES A MAN

Not numerous years, nor heightened life
Not pretty children and wife,
Not pins and chains and fancy rings,
Nor any such like trumpery things;
Not pipe, cigar, or bottled wine,
Nor liberty with kings to dine;
Nor coat, nor boots, nor yet hat,
A dandy vest or trim cravat;
Nor houses, lands, nor golden ore;
Nor all the worlds wealth laid in store;
Not Mister, Reverend, Sir, nor Squire,
With titles that the memory tire;
Nor ancestry traced back to Will,
Who went from Norman dy to kill;
Nor Latin, Greek, nor Hebrew lore,
Nor thousand volumes rambled Ger;
Not Judges robe, nor Mayors mace,
Nor crowns that deck the royal race.
These, all united, never can
Avail ts make single man.
A truthful soul, a loving mind,
Full of affection for its kind,
A helper of the human race,
A soul of beauty and of grace;
A spirit Arm, erect and free,
That never basely bends the knee
That will not bear a feathers weight
OF slavery's chain for small or great;
That truly speaks of God within,
And never makes a league with sin;
That snaps the fetters despots make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worships God, and him alone,
And bows nowhere but at his throne;
That trembles at no tyrant's nod
A soul that fears no one but Goa,
And thus can smile at curse and ban
That is the soul that makes the man,

cations of anatomists disclose some curl
Gus facts, which may be of interest to the
reader. In the human skeleton, about
the time of maturity, are 232 bones. The
muscles are about 500 IN number. The
length of the alimentary canal is about 80
feet. The amount of blood in an adult
averages so pounds, or fully one-fifth the
entire weight. The heart is six inches in
length, and four in diameter, and beats 70
times per minute, 2,2OO times per hour,
