Water for Horses.

In the English Farmers journal, Mr..
Benjamin Cartledge, of Sheffield, mem
Der Of the Royal Veterinary College, calls
attention to the very common mistake
made by keepers of horses in limiting the
supply OF water to their animals. MANY
owners OF horses, most grooms, and others
who have the charge OF them, profess. he
says, "to know how much water a horse
ought to be allowed, and, when a Door,
thirsty, over driven animal arrives at his
journeys end, he is treated to very linn
tied supply, and the pail is taken away
before its necessity is half met. It is .
mistaken notion that cold water frequent.
~ produces collie have often known
1t cure the disease. When cold water
does cause abdominal pain, 1t is from long
abstinence, and when the horse drinks to
excess. But even this L. rare. I allow
my horse to drink from every trough I
meet on the road, if the water be clean,
and, IN my own stable, / never had case
OF collie. At home, my horses always have
water before them. A friend of mine, to
whom, the other day, gave this advice,
directed his servant to adopt il. The
servant shook his head, and said he
thought he knew as well as Mr.. Cartledge
when his horses required water, and how
much The owner, in reply, told the
servant that might be 80, but he must
allow his horses to drink a. often and a.
freely as he did himself"

The most remarkable balloon ascension
on record was made in 1904, by Blot and
Guy Lussac, in Paris. By this enterprise
they endowed science with series Of new

complete set of suitable apparatus, and,
moreover, an unsurpassed knowledge 6

assembled to q height OF 1900 feet, and
observed that at the height of 5000 to
5000 feet the animals they had taken
with them, in order to observe the effect
of the rarcfied air and cold upon them,
did not appear to suffer any inconven.

two experimenters were much acceler-

always slow, 50 beats per minute, was 80;
and that of Blot, naturally rapid, 70 beats
per minute, was III. At height Of
II 900 feet q pigeon was liberated it
dropped down whirling through the air
as II it had been stone. The air was too
thin, too much rarefied, to enable it to
fly. Three weeks later, Guy Lussac went
up alone, and attained the heighth of 3d.

1900 feet higher than the top Of Chimbe-

1t was 80 degrees He left the courtyard
of the Conse,vat0ire dts Arts ct Mstiers, in
Paris, and, after an aerial voyage Of six
hours, descended near Rouen, one hun
.drcd miles distant. The result Of this
ascension on Guy Lussac's health was
very injurious, partially by the want of
air for respiration, combined with sudden
cold, but chiefly by the absence OF the
accustomed pressure At the extreme
height of $4,000 feet his face and neck
were swollen enormously, his eyes pro-
truded from his head, blood ran from his
eyclids, nose and ears, and also came from
his lungs, by vomiting; in short, his sys.

fully recovered the rest Of his life.

The Farmer and His Horse.

ONCE at the Cape of Good Hope lived
q farmer who, in the kindness of his heart,
after storm would often mount his
strongly built horse, and ride down to the
sea to see II there were any poor ship.
wrecked sailors whom he might help.
His horse was noble animal, and . fine
swimmer.
One morning after terrible storm, ~
the man was riding along the beach, he
saw q ship that was going to pieces on the
rocks few hundred yards from the shore.
Without fear he turned his horses head
to the water aud plunged in, hoping to
save some of the many seamen and pas
sengers he saw still clinging to the
wreck.
Hardly had he left the shore when q
great wave rolled over the heads of beth
horse and master, and all who saw them
thought they would rise no more. But
the next moment they were seen, the man
upon the back of the horse, and moving
toward the wreck.
When they reached the ship, the farmer
called TO two men who were ON board.
who came at his request, and allowed
themselves to be taken on shore. cling.
Ing to his boots, one ON each aide Of the
horse. ~
Seven trips in all were made in this
way, and fourteen people were saved. On
the eighth trip, the sea being very rough,
just after they had left the ship with two
men, great wave overthrow them, and
the farmer was tossed from the back OF
the horse and drowned. The horse. bv
swimming, reached the shore in safety.

Man needs to realize that tho sum Of
wOman's abilities IL equal to his. Equality
would be possible now, if it was not for the
additional theory that the husband owns
his wife. Equality does not mean sameness
of function and power; there is no posi-
bility that woman will ever usurp man q
positions. All that woman wants is, that
her recognized sphere be widened and uni
versally a.oep.ed, and that if, through
genius or necessity, she enter mans do
main, he shall cease to expect mans work
while he gives her wOman's wages.
Miss EdgartOn wanted several new laws
on marriage When wife turns artist or
author she ought to divide the proceeds
with her husband. When property comes
to her from others than her husband, it
should be hers without restriction of any
kind. She especially wished an amendment
to be made to tho Federal constitution, Civ
ing Congress power over all marriages and
divorces, thus insuring an equality i'll law in
all the States She thought that the failure
of husband to support his wife should he
deemed criminal Offense and properly
punished. A divorce for sAch a cause is Il
disgrace. If wife supports the family,
her earnings should be safe from the hrs-
bands touch if he can't support the family
he ought 10 he put in prison. She believed
that the wives left unprotected by law,
abused by drunken husbands, or made
slaves by tyrannical ones, were the cause
of all the cOnvulsivc agitation among the
woman's rights people, an agitation which
will grow more vehement and clamOrOus
until Justice is done. She deplored the idle
ness of women, mode Of life which makes
all young men disinclined to marry. Girls
should be educated to support themselves,
and boys be trained for marriage as well as
girls. With tho best intentions in the
world, Mrs. H. Il. Stanton taught that the
individual sovereignty of woman is more
sacred than any earthly tie. Miss Edgarton
thought that the individual sovereignty of
woman was decidedly less sacred than her
sovereignty rs wife and mother. ZAP
plause.1 Let us encourage individuality
in order to secure the highest self-develop-
ment
The day that marriage is left to the regu-
lation of rhe parties to it only, is til day of
doom to mothers and children. Radicalism
in this direction means death to the family.
When divorce is granted it should not take
effect for several years, giving time for re-
Election. We dishonor marriage when we
advise divorce as a means OF reforming it..
Every divorce increases disconteut-nay,
creates it. Miss Edgarton thought that
the reform Of marriage depended upon a
great many things which she recited in
detail-the better education of sons and
daughters, feminine attention given to
housekeeping. physiology, brain, and a
frank. sincere and honest demeanOr. Treat
ing his wife as his equal, man will fiAd her
