injuring the inner portions of the foot in

regard to injury from above or on the sides

state of nature, these portions of the foot
are not subject to injury any more than
is the rest of the animal The direction
and arrangement of the fbers of the hoof

The Lengthoning Days and the Strength.
ening Cold.

AS THE days begin to lengthen the
cold begins to strengthen" SAYS the old
maxim, which has failed to come true TINS
lar this season. The days began to in
crease on the Odd ultimO, and the gain ND
to the end of the year was four minutes.
1t is true this is hardly sufficient to make
much difference either way, and January
may be necessary to verify the old adage.
Still, as the college professor used to say,
when his retOrts gave out or his apparatus
refused to work, "the experiment fails,
but the principle remains" There Is a
reason in =" the eternal fitness of things. :"
why the cold should begin to strengthen
as the days begin to lengthen, and as a
general thing, We may expect such to be
the case. The earth is big body, and
therefore, slow to get heated and slow to
cool, and it usually happens that the heat
absorbed from the sun during the summer

that time the latent warmth having disaD-

being covered with snow, chilling every

speak, of the cold is then such that the
heating influence of the sun is actually
much less than might be supposed. Our
own bodies, however, show an analogous
working, since we require less clothing In
the autumn than we do at the same tenn
perature in the spring, because in the one

Entirely New Swindle.

The trick of sending circulars to coun-
try greenhOrns, Offering to sell counter
felt money, has been well exposed. A
new device has been resOrted to. The
Sun has In its possession the circular of
The Fourth National Banking House of
New York City," Thomas Peters, Presi
dent; Samuel H. Mapse, Vice President :;
III. ID. Morehead, Cashier; and s. S.
thompson, Secretary. In clumsy phrase
ology 1t informs the recipient that the
Company are DESTROYS of circulating a
few hundred thousand dollars of their
bank bills before the first of May, mas
much as they may possibly fail at that
Time. They wish, Also that the money
shall be circulated in small amounts and
in country districts, in order that no one
may be heavy loser by their misfortune,
or go to the expense Of coming to New
York to sue them. They ask the person
addressed to become their agent, promising
him half the proceeds of all the bills he
may pass off, and assuring him that he can
make several thousand dollars before Nav
arrives. They propose sending several
hundred dollars to begin with, but re-
mittance of ten dollars is requested as a
security for prompt returns, before any of
the bills are forwarded. The circular
closes with an injunction not to mention
Its contents to any one, and requests re-
ply addressed to 5. S. Thompson, IS West
Fourth street, New York
The drift of this precious document is
obvious. If the ten dollars are sent, it is
quietly pocketed, and no bills are for
warded. The swindled greenhorn can get
no redress, because he compromises him
self Ia desiring to become their accomplice.

Rainfall and Forests.

THERE are persons who persistently
ignore all facts, observations and theories
in regard to the influence of forests upon
the amount of rain that falls in certain
countries and localities. These men pre-
tend to believe that if all the forests of
this country were destroyed, we should
still have our full supply of rain. The
cutting down Of few acres of trees may
not produce any perceptible change, but
the removal of any extensive tract of forest
will show marked effect upon the climate
in the immediate vicinity. We have au-
thenticated reports from Egypt showing
that the fall of rain in certain districts
where extensive forests have lately been
planted has increased more than three-fOld
in consequence. And not long since, the
Meteorological Society of Mauritius re-
ported that, by the destruction of some of
the largest forests, the climate,
which hadl formerly been too wet
for glowing sugar. cane successful
ly, had now become sufficiently dry
to insure full crop annually. Land that
had been cold and wet was made dry by
removing the forests i'm close proximity TO
the same. AT Cluny, in the southeastern
portion of the island, near the mountains
and large forests, the rainfall in 1867 was
1872 inches, but In the more open country

The Uses of Snow.

THE snow which falls upon the earth is
a tender mantle Ia infant foOd-plants
which would otherwise perish of frost
In what is called an "Open winter" you
may see whole fields of young rye, and
wheat, and clover, all pulled up by the
frost and laid on the top of the ground
to wither and die in the spring sunshine
The frost heaves up the earth, and with it
the plants; slight thaws permit the earth
to settle and renew its hold, and so sue
cessive frecZings and thawings gradually
uproOt entire crops. winter killed" is
the sad verdict of the farmer as he con-
templates the loss of his labor and seed
in the spring; and winter killed might
be appropriately spoken of the suffering
and dying victims of starvation prices
which follow the destruction of crops.
True, nature sometimes in her zeal to
protect, covers too deep and smOthers the
young plants; tucks in the coverld so
tight that the unreasonable warmth of
the earth stimulates their vitality into an
attempt at growth, which fails for want
of air and light. But such disasters are
comparatively rare, and open winters are
the most deadly to grain crops 1t is also
true that in the large territories devoted
to grain growing in the United States,
when a crop fails in one section it sue
ceeds in another, and 40 the food supply
keeps pretty steady pace with the demand,
but 1t is none the less true that in many
sections OF the country W inter wheat or
rye could not be successfully grown with
out snow to protect these crops from
frost.
But snow has another important Office
to perform. 1t is fertilizer. Ask the
experienced farmer, and he will tell you
that the late SHOWS of spring falling upon
the springing crops make them look green
and vigorous, and really nourish them. 1t
is the bearer of ammonia, an important
clement Of the food of plants, which it
c0lletis from the air. We have known
thrifty farmers to rise early to pillow in a
light snow before it melted, being aware
of its value, though perhaps not realizing
in what its virtue consisted 1t is also
without doubt true that open winters are
more favorable to the spread of disease
than the contrary. 1t is an old proverb
that green Christmases fill churchyards."

ton, we are reminded that when the Brit
ish fleet was lying in the Potomac, and all
sorts OF injuries were inflicted upon the
people living on that river, Washin gton's
manager, fearing that Mount Vernon
would be destroyed, complied with an
order OF the British Admiral, and fur
nisned nm with fresh provisions. Wash
lngt9n wrote to his agent thus:
1t would have been less painful cir
cumstance to me To have heard that, in
consequence OF your non compliance with
their request, they had burned nv house
and laid the plantation in ruins. You
ought to have considered yourself as nv
representative, and should have reflected
on the bad example of communicating
with the enemy, and making voluntary
offer OF refreshments to them, with view
to prevent a cOnflagration."
Again, when another President. not at
all rich, Thomas Jefferson, was advised to
take up, under existing laws, a certain
quantity OF public lands, his adviser hay
ing accurate knowledge of the public do
main, offered to locate the land. and to
guarantee the President that its value in a
very few years would be greatly enhanced
the President, with the delicate sense of
honor which was Characteristic of the
early statesmen, declined to make the in
vestment, lest he should be suspected of
taking advantage of his position to enrich
himself at the expense of the country.

it. When boy on the farm, we were
told that Napoleon needed only four hours
sleep, and the old nonsense of" five hours
for man, six for a woman, and seven for
a fool" was often quoted. But the truth
is, that Napoleon was enabled, in great
measure, to accomplish what he did from
the faculty of sleeping soundly-of sleep
ing when he slept and working when he
worked. We have sat in one Of his favor

MANY lives have been lost from the lazi-

nave lald on one paper above another, in
