CIippIna Horses,

The barbarous habit of clipping horses is said
to prevail extensively in Philadelphia. 1tshonld
be stopped Mr.. Bergh says: scientific men
have long known that the skin and the lungs are
Joined in one and the same function and yet
the senseless custom is becoming daily more
general. and that too, in season of the year
when natures manifest her wisdom by provid-
ing the animals with additional covering, and
mankind put on their overcoats and furs. You
att, who is an authority on the horse says: "As
to the practice of clipping and shaving the
horse, it occasions chilling OF the frame exhaus-
tion Of the vital power and dangerous reactions
of fever" Other authorities could be quoted
against the practice, il necessary. A post NOR
tenn examination of horse that fell dead in the
streets Of Chicago, after clipping, showed that
the air lungs were filed with clotted blood
otherwise the animal was in perfect health.

CxninnI Reflections.

Our old friend, the Pail Mall Gazette, has ts-
ken cynical fit into its head. It declares that
boys nearly hate girls, and that the feeling is re-
turned; old men care little for women OF any
age, except as nurses old women creep togeth-
er. 1t is only during the central portion of life
that the sexes can be said to be civil to one
another, declares the: Gazette. In fact, il natxre
had not forced men and women to love each 9TH
or during that portion willy-nily, and given them
that incredible and perplexing bribe of children,
it is doubtful whether they would have any mu-
tual liking. Love is all that exists between
them. The score Of other feelings, of under
standing, sympathy, for instance, of apprecia-
tive respect, OF rational emulation which men
have for men and women for women neither
sex has for the other. 1t is astonishing to the
Pail Mall, considering what a complete, intri-
cate, long association the bringing up family
ties couple to, that they do not become more
really intimate than they do even in the best
cases. Doubt may well be felt that there are
few husbands and wives who, in spite of
all the trials they have shared, have not
at the bottom Of their hearts sense of griey-
ance one against the other. At least, it may
fairly be said that, if there were any joint con-
Germ Of another kind (which Ike .ot two men or two
women partners of fortune under such mutual
responsibilities for as long period, they would
develop more warmth Of feeling on each side.

Dr.. Bourne ia an enthusiastic vegetarian. He
il "a years Of age, and has walked from Port

reader suppose was the eccentric object Of his
little walk These are his own words my
great object was to demonstrate, by 30 positive

subsistence under laborious and exhaustive con-
ditions." Therefore, in the interest Of human
ity and dietetio reform" he gives his record. He
started from Portland, Oregon, on the 9th OF
May, at o'clock in the morning, and was 'tbir-
ty-four actual walking days" on the road. Until
the fifth day, DIR. Bourne ate nothing but pure
unboiled wheat mixed with water, and stewed
fruit After the fifth day his food was only
crackers, broken up and soaked in boiling hot
water. Subsisting upon this food wholly, having
walked 800 miles In thirty-four "walking-da

the one hundred and fifty-three pounds with
which he started. Such, he says, is the value OF

NARROW GAUGE RAILWAYS, AND THEIR
ECONOMIES.

We give, in another column, carefully pre-
pared letter from gentleman highly competent
to discuss the subject, aud thoroughly we'll liz
formed upon it, stating specifically some of the
economical advantages possessed by narrow
gauge railways. His letter is in explanation of,
and reply to, some queries which we printed
from an Enquirer, few weeks ago.
The value Of narrow gauge railways less
cost being established-is apparent, as routes Of
transportation, in sections where the grades are
too heavy for broad gauge or through re-
gions whose business and travel do not require
a more expensive road Why not Is it not a
simple proposition For all transportation the
suitable means is provided. II the load is small,
and the distance short, wheel-barrow may
serve If the distance is great, and the freight
of sufficient value, arailway is needed. In build
ing it, it must be, naturally, adapted to its con-
ditions and uses, and in many instances the mar.
row road and light equipment are just what ia
needed. The railroad system Of the country is
strengthened and completed, by the construction
of the narrow-gauge roads, where wide onef
would not be profitable.
