Another expedient in this connection:

naiIY ExieFicciils9 =ofs 'fIiaT Horse.

Without regular exercise no horse
can long be kept in health, and 4 be-
ieve that as far as this point is concern
ed, ,1even those which are hard-worked
would be the better for half an hours
airing as soon as they have been fed
and before they are dressed. But those
masters who are particular about the
im9uths OF the animals they ride aT drive
find that the hands of their grooms are
generally so heavy that they spoil the
delicate "feel'' on which the comfort
of riding or driving so much depends.
Hence in such cases the poor horse is
condemned to confinement in his stable,
not only on the Qay W hen he is to ridden
or driven, but on tA0se also when he is
to be idle.
{ The health of the body is sacrificed to
the maintainance of the delicate condi
tion of the mouth which is so highly
priced by good horsemen and accom-
apiished whips, and / confess that I
plead guilty to having acted upon this
principle for long series of years. a
fair share OF health may be attained
without exercise if the work is never
interrupted for more than asingle day,
and at the same time, there being only
one pair of hands to interfere with the
mouth, its delicacy is not impaired, that
ie to say, if they are not as bad as thse of
the groom.
Sometimes large and smooth snaffie
is allowed as an exercise bride, in the
hope that 1t cannot injure the mouth,
but even this will do mischief if the
weight of the rider is thrown upon it, as
is too often the case. Leaving out of
the question this objection to the adep-
tion of exercise, there can be no doubt
that daily walk out of doors for halfl
an hour or an hour; especially if it can
be managed On turf; will be OF the
greatest SERVICE to the horses health.-

= THE MYSTERIES OF a HAIR BRUSH.
IA writer in the ADssrica,l JoatiaadL Of
INtcr6scoxg has been exploring the for
ests of bristIes ia hair brush surrepti-
tously purloined' from q lady's toilet
stand, and though It contained nothing
which we are accustomed to regard
with UNQUALIFIED horror, the results of
his inVeSHSati ons pfeve Ithat there are
mysteries ordinarily aqndreamed of in
simple appliances of the toilet. There
are concealed in the damp lint of hair
brushes, unless kept clean by the use of
bicarbonate of potassia or, carbonate of
soda, many living things, too small for
detection. by the naked eye, some of
which, we are told, are of more than
suspicious character, being knowa as the
originators of scalhead and other dis
eases Of the scalp. The author con-
cludes his article by a caution against
wetting the head, recommending dry
brushing instead.f Healso recommends
the uselofa Jweik solationof ;eakbonie
acid ofsufphate of soda as cleaning
material for hair brushes.
