Farm and Household.
Worms in Horses.

Intestinal worms are parasites
which develop themselves in all the
domestic animal, each however, pos
sessing its own varieties. The pres
ence of worms in the digestive tubes
is marked at first by an increased
appetite, but the animal, notwith-
standing quantity of food which he
consumes, falls off in condition; his
coat is rough, and is not shed at the
ordinary time; there is an annoying
itching, which causes the horse to
rub his upper lip against the manger
or on the wall; sometimes there is
considerable itching about the
rectum, which is indicated BY the
horses rubbing his tail or rump
against anything within reach. The
symptoms mentioned are such as
would cause one to suspect the ex-
istence of worms, but it is only
when these appear among the dung
voided by the horse, that we can
speak with certainty on the nature
of the disease. At later period,
and especially when the worms have
developed in great numbers, the
symptoms are very much aggravated,
and the horse becomes emaciated
and suffers occasionally from col
ickly pains; the flank is tucked up;
the inside of the eyelids is pale; he
walks with difficulty, and fatal
termination will sometimes ensue.
A dose of aloes flour or six dramsl
may be given, which has often the
effect of expelling worms without
having recourse to further treatment.
If this fails, divide six ounces of
iron filings among twelve balls, and
give one every morning until they
are finished, and then give dose of
aloes, which will cause the expulsion
Of any worms which remain in the
horses intestines.-Practieal Far

The Ruby.

We generally speak of the dia-
mond as the most valuable of gems,
but this is not really the case. The
ruby is the most valuable but it de-
pends for its rarity upon its color.
The ruby is the next hardest thing
to the diamond. 1t is found princi-
pally in the East.
Siam and Ceylon afforded the
plentiful supplies. In Burmah,
finding of one of these jewels is
made state event; the grandees of
the empire go out to meet it with
elephants and all the grandeur Of
Eastern state. There are many
shades of red, but the most ap-
proved. and commanding the high
est price, is that of the pigeons
blood
The ruby, in common with many
other precious stones, had magical
properties attributed to it by the
ancients; indeed, we do not doubt
that in the East the superstitious
ideas connected with it are IS rife as
ever. Our ancestors believed that
it was preservative against evil
thoughts, and that much dreaded
thing of old-poison. 1t kept the
wearer safe from all spirits, and what
was more, its sanitary power was
held to be so great that he was said
never to suffer in bodily health.
Moreover, it was supposed to be en-
dowed with certain occult intelli-
gence. 1t was believed that the gem
darkened when danger awaited the
person, and grew bright again when
the peril had passed away.
The King of Burmah, one of
whose titles is that of Lord of the
has one the size of a pigeons
egg. The value of these gems goes
on increasing at much higher ratio
than that of the diamond. When
its weight is as much as four carsts,
its value varies from So, $50 to S., 600
a sum more than double that of
diamond of the same weight.-Cab-
met Maker.

Voltaire said: "The more married
men you have the fewer crimes there
will be. Marriage renders man
more virtuous and more wise. An
unmarried man is but half of per-
feet being, and it requires the other
half to make things right; and it
can not be expected that in this i'm
perfect state he can keep the straight
path of rectitude any more than a
boat with one oar can keep straight
course. In nine cases out of ten,
where married men become drunk
ards, or where they commit crimes
against the peace of the community,
the foundation of these acts was
laid while in a single state, or where
the wife is, as is sometimes the case,
an unsuitable match. Marriage
changes the current Of a mans feel
ings and gives him center for his
thoughts, his affections and his
acts"

A Romance in Real Life.

Miss Edmunds is the author of
''The Nurse and Spy" a book that
has reached sale of quarter of a
million of dollars. Her story is
quite romantic. She was born in
Novia Scotia of poor but respectable
parents, of course. Thoroughly
feminine in many of her was, she
yet had a remarkable love adventure.
Her family being in straitened cir
cumstances, she felt herself a bur-
den to them, and resolving to make
her own way, she suddenly disap-
peared and nothing was heard of her
for many months. One day in the
spring of 1860. Mr.. Scranton of
Hartford, a gentleman then connec-
ted with the American Publising
Company, had ushered into his Of
flee young man, who gave the
name of Frank johnson, and de-
sired to secure employment as an
agent for the Company's books. He
was so pleased with the young mans
appearance that he at once engaged
him, and Frank started on his first
trip as book agent. He followed
this business successfully until the
war broke out when he resigned his
agency, joined a cavalry regiment
and went to the front. More than
two years had passed by when one
day there appeared at the office of
the American Publishing Company,
well dressed young woman, who
had manuscript to sell. The man
ayers refused to accept it; but two
gentlemen somewhat familiar with
the business, and just starting on
their own account, did take it and
the first year divided $4,000 apiece.
Miss Edmunds, for she it was, be-
fore leaving town, called upon Mr..
Scranton, who at once was struck
with her resemblance to Frank
johnson, his quandom agent, and
soon discovered that he and Miss
Edmunds were the same person. A
wealthy gentleman of Ohio, who be-
came interested in her from reading
her book, made her acquaintance
subsequently, and she is now under
his guardianship studying for the
ministry at Oberlin College.

THE ELEVENTH HOUR.

Faint, and worn, and aged,
One stands knocking at gate;
Though no light shines in the easement,
Knocking though so late.
1t has struck eleven
In the courts OF heaven,
Yet he still doth knock and wait.
While no answer cometh
From the heavenly hill;
Blessed angels wonder
At his earnest will.
Hope and fear but quicken
While the shadows thicken;
He is knocking, knocking still.
Grim the gate unopened
Stands with bar and lock;
Yet within the unseen Porter
Hearkens to the knock.
Doing and undoing
Faint and yet pursuing
This mans feet are on the Rock.
With cry unceasing
Upon his bended knee,
"Lord have mercy on me
When cry to Thee"
With knock unceasing;
And a cry increasing:
"Oh, my Lord, remember me-
Still the Porter standeth,
Love constrained he standeth near,
While the cry increaseth
Of that love and fear;
"Jesus, look upon me
Christ, hast thou foregone me?
IfImust, 1 perish here"
Faint the knocking ceaseth,
Faint the cry and call,
Is he lost indeed forever,
Shut without the wall;
Mighty Arms surround him,
Arms that sought and found him,
Hold, withheld, and bore through all.
Oh celestial mansion,
Open wide the door;
Crown and robes of whiteness.
Stone inscribed before,
Flocking angels bear them;
Stretch thy hand and wear them;
Sit thou down for evermore.
