SOFT water is in all cases better for hor-
ses than hard water. If, therefore, soft
water can be easily procured, it should in
all cases be given, but we do not think it
answers well to allow the horse to Stake
his thirst at the pond or brook at all sea
sons. Boiling gets rid of a great proper
ton Of the lime, and where it exists in
great quantities it is advisable to give all
boiled water. The temperature of the wa
ter given should in all cases be that of the
stable, or very little below it; and so in
the warm one the water must be raised to
at least 20 degrees Of Fahrenheit, by mix
ing little hot with the cold, or by leav-
ing the bucket full of water constantly in
the stable, and only using it when it has
acquired the temperature of the stable.
If cold water is given to horse used to
it chilled, and TO warm stables, it sets the
coat the wrong way directly, and often
produces collie, or shivering, followed by
rheumatism and this is especially likely
when he has undergone any violent eXer-
ton, and is becoming cool from it. 1t
does not do nearly the harm while the
horse is reeking with heat and perspira-
ton that it does when given to the tired
horse, just cooling down from his exer-
tions. If, however, chilled water is gen
orally given, it should be rigidly adhered to
when the horse is travelling, for an animal
used to it is far more likely to be injured
by cold water given when in asweat than
the one which habitually swallows it at a
low temperature with his ordinary food
The quantity of water proper for the
horse val les very much, depending upon
his tendency to purge, upon the amount
of sweat which he loses in his work, and
upon the nature of his work. About one
and a-half to two ordinary buckets full
per day is the average, depending upon
the size of the horse and the severity of
his work; and if water is allowed regular
ly, few healthy horses Will drink more
than two buckets full per day. More than
a couple of quarts should never be given
on the road or while working, even on
the hottest day; but this quantity may be
repeated every few hours with advantage,
if the weather is very sultry, with or with
out little oatmeal. l. is seldom advisa-
BILE to give the full quantity of water i'm
mediately before or after the feed of oats,
but rather to let the horse drink abouttwo
quarts, and half an hour after his feed to
let him have the remainder. And if the
oats are not given for half an hour, the
water will not hurt if all is given at once

4 lovers Ruse.

IN N, one Of the larger French pro-
vincial cities, during the summer of 1871,
a young German officer was quartered in
the house of a rich merchant NJ b
$50 the merchant was called was a Chau-
whist of the purest water. At the begin
ming of the campaign he was sanguine in
the belief that, within four weeks, all Ger
many would be at the feet of the Emperor
Napoleon; and now, despite all the re-
verses the French arms had met with,
from Weissenburg to Paris, he was thor
oughly convinced that Gambetta, with his
newt y-created army, would soon drive the
hated German invaders to a man from the
sacred soil of France"
Until this aTdently lOnGed-for moment
arrived, like the prudent man that he was,
he paid the taxes and contributions de
manded of him by the invaders promptly,
and gave vent to his hatred for les nlaltdits
PrUssieHS by vilifying Bismarck and the
King of Prussia in his little family circle,
and by avoiding, as far as possible, Lieut..
D, who was quartered in his house
The ladies of the house. his wife and
daughter, We're good patriots; but their
patriotism did not prevent their finding
Lieut.. D. very amiable and interest
ing, and their allowing him to spend a
considerable share Of his leisure hours in
their society. Mademoiselle Louison, the
daughter, was Is years old, and very
pretty. Lieut.. D. was five or six
years older, was an accomplished man of
society, and thoroughly master of the
French language. What was more natur-
al than that, despite national differences,
the young people should be drawn to-
ward each other? The mother, who was
very kindly disposed toward the elegant
young officer, favored his suit, and en-
couraged her son-in-law, that would be. to
formally ask LOuison's father for her

the wife of Il Prussian, gave the Lieuten-
| ant polite but decided refusal, and for
babe his wife and daughter from holding
any further intercourse with him. The
ladies were requested to occupy one wing
of the house, and the servants received
strict orders to deny the PrusSian officer
all communication whatsoever with the
fortress
About this time the railroad accidents
in the provinces occupied by the Ger
mans had become so numerous that they,
as means of Self-protection, compelled
some prominent French citizen to ride
on the locomotive of each train in order
to prevent his countrymen from tearing
up the rails of the road, or otherwise
doing 1t such injury as to endanger the
safety OF the train, because now the life
OF one of their fellow-citizens would be
lmperiled by an accident as well as those
| OF their enemies. The means accom-
plished the desired end; railroad acct
dents became rare. But these compul-
sorry trips in mid-winter, on an open loco
motive, were very far from being pleasure
trips; and IIr. B was not a little
amazed when, within the short space of
two weeks, it was his lot 10 make the

Revolutions Never Go Backward

The philosophical theory that the human system
when weakened by disease, oppressive heat, ex-
cessive labor or any other cause, should be toned
and invigorated instead of being subjected TO the
action of depicting drugs, is gaining ground every
day. The Introduction of Uostetters Stomach
Bitters twenty years ago gave powerful influence
10 this common sense idea. As the extraordinary
efficacy Of the Great Vegetable Restorative be-
came known, multitudes of debilitated invalids
turned with loathing from the nauseous and
strength-destroying potions with which it was then
the fashion TO drench the SICK TO this renovating
appetizing, vitalizing preparation derived from
theinest roots, herbs and barks placed by botani-
cal research at the disposal OF medical science.
Revolutions never 90 backward. From that time
to the present the importance of assisting and re-
inforcing nature in her struggles with disease has
been more ard more widely and keenly appreci-
ated by the sick and the suffering. In tens of
thousands of households Hostetter's Bitters are
looked upon as the one thing needful in cases of

When NJ. B was notified for the sixth

"C'est car cried the Marie, laughing.
THAT explains the mystery. Two or three
times, when you have been away, l have
seen Lieut.. D. enter your house. He
evidently has sufficient influence at head
quarters to enable him to send you on
these accused Journeys whenever he de
sires to visit your daughter"
Mr.. BIS Indignation knew no
bounds.
MY dear friend" continued the more
philOsOphic Marie, 81 would advise you to
consent to your daughters marriage rather
than, in this cold weather, to contract a
pneumonia by riding to and from s.

M. B threw himself into chair,
and seemed for some minutes lost in re-
Election. 1t was terrible alternative
either to give his daughter to a naaudit
PTusSien, or to endanger his own valuable
life.
"How long, think YOU" he asked the
Marie, "will it be before the Army Of the
Loire will destroy the Germans before
Paris, and drive the last one of them
across the Rhine 2"
THE Army of the Loire replied the
Marie, "has, according to news received
this morning, been defeated, losing 10000
prisoners"
"Kensonge! Impossible!" cried NJ
B..
But he concluded that it would be wise,
under all the circumstances, to follow the
advice of his friend the Marie. Imme-
diately on his return from his sixth com
pulsOry trip to s., he gave his consent
to his daughters betrothal with the hated
Prussian, and from that time he received
no more orders from the German head
quarters to ride on an open locomotive
