CARE OF HORSES At NIGHT.-Few
men who handle horses give proper
attention to the feet and legs ESpe-
ciallv is this the case ON farms. Much
time is spent Of amorning in rubbing.
brushing and smoothing the hair on
the sides and hips, but at no time are
the feet examined and properly cared
for. Now, be it known, that the feet
of horse require more care than the
body. They need ten times rs much,
for in one respect they are almost the
entire horse. All the grooming that
can be done won't avail anything II
the horse is forced TO stand where his
feet viii be filthy In this case the
feet will become disOrdered, and then
the legs viii get badly out of fix; and
with bad feet and bad legs, there Is
not much else Of the horse IL for any
thing. Stable prisons are generally
severe on the feet and legs of horses;
and unless these buildings can afford
a dry room, where a horse can walk
around. lie down, or roll over, they
are net half so healthy to the horse as
the pasture, and should beavOided by
all good hostlers in the country
North British Rerielr.

The Guiliotine.

1t is generally taken for granted
the beheading instrument used in
France and some other countries OF
Europe was invented, or at least per
fected, by the amiable and philan-
thropie physician whose name it bears,
but in reality this doubtful honor be-
longs to some earlier inventor whose
name has not been preserved. An
instrument of this kind was used in
Germany early in the thirteenth cen
turv. and was known as the "Panke"
or "Diele.n In 1888 it was mention
ed in the criminal statutes of the
Netherlands, and its name appears IN

Continent Covered with lee.


Prof Agassiz comes to the conclu-
sion that the continent of North Amer
lea was once covered with ice for a
mile in thickness, thereby agreeing
with Prof Hitchcock and other emf
ncnt writers concerning the glacial
period. In proof Of this conclusion
he says that the slopes of the Alleghe-
ny range of mountains are glacier
worn to the very top, except few
which were above tho level of the
icy mass. Mount Washington, for in
stance, is over six thousand feet high.
and the rough, unpublished surface of
its summit, covered with loose frag-
ments, just below the level of which,
glacier marks come to an end, tells
that IT lifted its baad .Io--a-l----s, 49,,
OF the ice cannot have been much less
than six thousand feet, and this is III
keeping with the country for when
the mountains are much below SIX
thousand feet, the ice seems to have
passed directly over them, while the
few peaks rising to that height are
left untouched The glacier he ar
gues, was Gods great plough, and
when the ice vanished fEom the face
of the land, it left it prepared for the
hand of husbandmen. .
The hard surface of the rocks was
ground to powder, the elements of the
soil were mingled in fair proportions
granite was carried into lime regions.
lime was mingled with the more arid
and unproductive granite district, and
a soil was prepared, fit for the agri-
cultural use of man. There are evi-
dences all over the polar regions to
show that at one period the heat of
the tropics extended all over the
globe.
The ice period is supposed to be
long subsequent TO this and next to
the last before the advent of man.

Government DISPATCHES.

A special from Washington to the Louis
vile Courier Journal says.
The question of the amount to be allowed
to the Western onion Telegraph Company
for the transmission Of the weather tele-
grams Of the signal bureau was considered
by the Committee on Appropriations to-day
and the amount agreed on is $25, 900. Last
year the appropriation was 100000 The
committee is of the opinion that under the
law granting the right of way across the
continent for telegraph, the company Is
compelled to transmit government mes
sages free: the appropriation made by the
committee is also intended to cover all de-
ticiencies due the Western Union Telegraph
Company. The amount asked by Mr.. Or
ton was $25OOOO The actual increase over
last years appropriation is about 10000:
The committee considered the propriety OF
inserting proviso providing that no line
should have the telegraphing for the bureau
unless the right of the government under
the law cited above was acknowledged by
it. No conclusion was reached on the pro-
VIsO.
