Summer Blankets for Horses.

Blanketing horses in Summer has now
become an acknowledged necessity, and
light blankets are now an important por-
tion of the harness-maker's stock. The
materials used for these are brown and
bleached linen, scrims, flannel and light
cotton duck. ,Muslin sheets are also used,
but these, as well as those made of duck,
are not popular. Linen and flannel are the
favorite goods; they cost more, but are
durable and hook well twilled braid Is
used for binding, and joining, and some Of
the finer qualities have monograms or the
name Of the horse worked on in very mar
row braid Of the same shade as the bind
ing. 10 D. G7idw .laieis9ueni 'i,T ~
Scrims Is used moro as q protection
against flies than for any other purpose,
and being very light and loosely woven,
requires to be well bound and secured at
the seams ; a strip of light leather should
be stitched on under the braid, either on
the back Of the scrims or between 1t and
the braid the edge of the scrims must be
turned In 80 that the outer row of stitches
will pass through two thicknesses; II
this is not done it will ravel and the bind

The New York Econonsisf says: "Dur-
ing the period embraced between the years
1865 and 1872, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Missouri, al
though growing Immensely In population
and In general productiveness, fell of IN
their relative yield Of wheat; while Min
nesota increased the production from
5000, 600 to Is. 900 900 bushels; Iowa from
l3,700, 900 to 10000, 900; Kansas from 200.-
600 to 2, 900, 600; and Nebraska from 166, 900
to 800 600. And still the boundaries of
the wheat region are extending toward the
West. No finer wheat can be grown any
where than in that section east of the
Rocky Mountains which can be utilized
by Irrigation. Should the experiment of
artesian wells succeed generally, as II has
in q few cases along the line of the Union
Pacific Railway, the entire 600 or 700
miles between the Missouri River and the
Rocky MOuntains-0nce called In our
school Biographies the Great American
Desert, may in the next half century be-
come one vast wheat field. Northern
Minnesota and the central sections along
the line of the Northern Pacific Railway
will produce the finest wheat In abundance.
Manitoba gives excellent promise as o
wheat-producing region, as well as. the
Saskatchewan Valley, extending from
Lake Winnipeg to the Rocky Mountains,
and the country directly east of the noun
tains as far South as New Mexico.

A Strange Disease.

desert of Sahara produces extraordinary
effects on insects, as well as animals and
men. When caravan starts out to ira
verse that wide waste of desolation, flies
follow. on In prodigious ,multitudes, at
tracted, no doubt, BY odor from the ami
mails, but they soon drop dead by intensi-
fed heat. Fleas burrowing in hair, straw
or sacks are killed of rapidly. But the
most singular of all Is the malady to
which men are incident after being ex-'
posed Q short time to burning sands and .
vertical sun In this arid and life-forsaken
region. 1t Is called rsgie, and is . kind OF
brain fever. The stricken traveller is de-
lighted, amused and made extremely
happy by exhibitions Of fantastic forms.
he sees mirages. palm trees, groups Of
tents, sheeny mountaips, sparkling cas-
cades and misty forms dancing delightful
ly before HIS en- RANGED vision. From all
tn Il can be gathered upon the subject, 1t
appears that certain condition of atmos-
phere, wholly free from moisture, with
Intense solar heat, produces an effect on
the brain very similar to hasheesh. Both
exalt the nervous system, and speedily
destroy all desire to exist, deprived Of the
natural excitation Of the brain.

time, and dreamt that pleasant dream.
How pleasant! for it had lasted five years,
and now-all gone! all gone! for ever
and ever.
Then the beech began to rustic again,
as 1t had done five years ago, and to move
its mighty branches /; and as they moved
there fell, as then, the golden glittering
sunlight across its leaves, and through the
boughs peered ever and anon the deep
blue sky. Then bis heart grew calmer and
he slept. Soon he dreamt that dream again
of five years ago. The woman was at the
table and the little children at their play;
butnow, the faces were the faces of his own
dear wife and children, and she looked at
him with her large brown eyes so kindly,
an, SO kindly! And then he awoke and
found 1t was only dream! More sorrow
ful than before, he broke off a small green
twig from the tree, and went home and
placed it in his hymn-book.
The next day was Sunday, and as thev
went to church the leaves fell out at the
wife's feet. He turned scarlet as he
stopped to pick them up and put them in
to his pocket. But the wife had seen it
and asked what it was.
"Only the leaves from the Dreaming
Beech, which Is much kinder to me than
you are. Yesterday was resting beneath
1t and fell asleep. 1t wished to console
me, for l dreamt that you were kind to
me again, and forgiven everything; bat it
is not true. The good old beech, though
It is noble tree, knows nothing of the
future"
The wife gazed at him, and it was as if
ray of sunshine had crossed her face.
Husband, did you really dream that2"
Yes" he answered, positively.
And she knew it was the truth, by the
the twitching about his mouth, like one
who has difficulty in restraining his
tears.
"And was really yeur wife,"
Really my own true. wife," and she
fell on his neck, and half suffOcated him
| with kisses.
"Thank God," she said, s'now 1t is all
right again! love you so dearly, how
dearly you can never know. And all
these long weary days have been in such
dread, lest was wrong In loving you, and
| that God meant me to have another hus-
band, and you another wife? for you GER
tainly did steal my heart, you bad man
| and there was deception at first-yes, you
stole my heart, Lut 1t did not do you much
good, for you know things must have
happened just as they did, whether we
would or no." Then, after pause, she
continued
promise me never to speak sighting
| ly of the Dreaming Beech again ?'
81 never will, for believe In it, as much
| as you do, depend upon it, though in a
different way, perhaps. And now let US
paste the leaves in the beginning of our
hymn book so that they may not be lost"

Health Of Merchants.

A WRITER in the Science of Health says,
though many merchants live to be old,
mercantile life, on the whole, is not favor
able to health; not because there is any
thing unwholesome In the business of
buying and selling, but because of the
uncertainties attending 1t. II has been
stated that nine-tenths of all the mer-
chants who have been eventually success
full in acquiring wealth, have failed one or
more times. But the few examples of
colossal fortunes. like few prizes which
are drawn In the lotteries, are sufficient to
cause constant rush into the business by
the MANY 1t Ii true that the majority OF
successful merchants show favorable
average of longevity; and this may be
either because, being healthy, they are
successful, or because, being successful,
they are healthy. This is rule that
works both ways. 1t is the constant
strain Of the mind, the feverish anxiety,
and the irregular habits consequent there
on, that so often break down the health
only who, after toiling and planning in
cessantly for ten or fifteen years, have
struggled on the. verge Of failure for
months or years, can appreciate the i'm
mense wear and tear Of mind and body
which racks and often wrecks SO many
merchants. One Of the most destructive
habits of merchants is that of going to
bed, not to sleep, but to study their bust
ness. After working and planning till
near midnight, they retire to fitful dozes
and unquiet dreams, instead Of refreshing
sleep; the result is that, In , few weeks or
months, determination of blood to the
brain, with sleeplessness, becomes a
chronic habit. We have known merchants
whose only complaint was, they could not
sleep. The remedy for this difficulty Is
very simple in theory, but not so easy in
practice. Keep cool, take things as they
come, and worry about nothing, Is pre-
scription very easy to write; but in view
Of the ,ever-recurring immediate necessi-
ties of trade, almost impossible to apply.
A little attention to regimen, however,
will greatly mitigate the suffering, and
perhaps carry the merchant through the
various crises of his vocation. OF all per-
sons, he should especiallyavoid all arti-
cles of food or drink that thicken the
blood, excite the brain, or constipate the
bowels. Milk, sugar, and fine flour are
among his special denominations. His
food can never be too plain, nor his drinks
too simple. His dessert after dinner
should never be pudding nor pastry, but
always a good apple or other fruit.
