But who viii gain this supposed loss 2
In the first place, consumers in the United
States will directly gain a portion in the
reduced price of the exempted articles,
probably at least one-fourth Of the Gov
eminent loss, leaving three-quarters to
enure to the benefit Of the people of the
Sandwich Islands. But that is not loss
to the United States. At least eight
tenths Of It viii enure to the enrichment
Of Americans who are now in, or who
will hereafter 90 to the Islands. The in
creasing wealth Of American units abroad
sweIIs the great American aggregate at
home. When an American grows rich in
China, IN Europe, in Australia or in these
Islands, his country grows richer by his
wealth. The Eealsh Of a country con
sists Of something more than local Asses
sors can value and enroll The individual
power and influence Of its citizens abroad
are national wealth IN the highest sense.
George Peabody's English gains are Am
erican and not English wealth. Indeed,
they have made American richer, many
fold, than If be had quietly accumulated
them, as AstOT did, in New York city. So
In this case, If the loss Of this revenue is
the gain Of American citizens in the ISL
ands, Il Is nos lost TO the United States,
but transferred from the Eational Trea-
sury, for special service, to the pockets Of
its own citizen volunteers abroad

Proper Mode Of Feeding Horses.

Let me say word or two now in reference
to FEEDING the horse, as bearing upon the con-
dition OF the foot. Every owner of a horse
musE have observed that the growth and
strength and appearance OF that horses foot Is
materially affected by the condition OF the
horse himself A hafstarved horse may
have foot injured by deficient nutrition and
over-fed horse may have foot heated into an
inflammation; and so dependent is the foot
upon healthy state OF the economy, that for
tue foot alone il nothing else, the diet of the
horse should he regulated with tue utmost re-
gard to his health.
am confJent that we give our horses too
much grain and too little hay e, ,pecially
horses under seven years of age, who will
worn with more endurance and courage on a
good supply of hay and a moderate supply OF
grain-of the latter say six quarts of oats and
pint OF corn daily. Older horses require
and VIII bear more giain-but even they
want mo'e hay than is usually given. Every
horse should pass lew weeks OF each year
without grain-either the first half or the last
hall OF the winter, whichever is must con-
venient. And this mode OF feeding can be
adopted without suspendng the animals
work.
have one horse fourteen years old, which
has had this regimen for four months every
year OF bis life (and bred him), and he is as
smooth, vigorous and healthy as colt-has a

T-MINDEDNEss.- The most absent
minded man we ever knew was our frierd
Gen. Mumm.
He lost one of bis legs in the war, and be
always wore patent artificial leg, full of
springs aud joints. Sometimes when he
started out in the morning he would get his
leg on hind part foremost, and then go strad-
ding down the street with one set of toes
pointing east and the other set pointing west.
His right knee would point another way and
the old man would bob up and down like a
jumping Jack worked with string Present
ly he would meet us and come jciting up to
say that he wished we would pitch into the
highway department for leaving the pave
ment in such rascally condition that a man
couldn't walk straight. Previous to the war
while he was down at Cape May, one sum-

morning, and while in the water be got to

CARE OF CATTLE IN WINTER. The most
common fault is in neglecting many little at
tentions which add so much to the comfort
and wellbeing of all domest,cated animals,
such as frequent carding, cleanliness, suffi-
cheney of bedding, unnecessarily lengthy ex.
posure to Geld when let out IN water. and
other minor points which may lot seem of
vital Importance in themselves, and so get
neglected as matter If course. An animal
"a COW for instanc--will live th ouph The
winter, perhaps, with about as much GER
tainty, whether she is carJed CT not. and vet
no one can deny that 4 regular and freouent
cartns would be likely TO add to her comfort
and Thrift. The same amount of food will
probably DO her more good 1t her health and
comfort are promoted by these attentions.
How often do We see a whole herd COM
PEELED to lie on lard plank floor, with little
or no bedding TO iucresse the warmth of the
body or to keep it sound snd healthy. We
have often seen large burches or tumors
made on the knees of cows and oxen by no
other cause than being compelled TO lie on a
hard plank, 'metimes very uneven at that.
when 1t could be easily prevented by laying
dawn sods or other means of protection like
heavy bedding OF straw, refuse hav. leaves
or something of the kind. Some protection
OF this sort is very useful. Every one who
has the care OF cattle should be on the W itch
tor any local difficulty of the sort, and il apy
bunch or swelling is found to be coroinc on
the knees the Cause of it should be promptly
removed. Many cases, taken in season.
could have been easily cured, but neglect has
bad tie effect To make them permanent. and

A TERRIBLE FAsHIoN.-We learn from a
recent writer that "some of the South Pacific
islarders do their mourning after peculiar
fashion. A widow will lay aside her bonnet
and wear the hat of her late husband; some
times widower will go about in loose gown
of his departed wife worn over his own prop
er DRESS A moments reflection will show
that we have great cause of thankfulness that
this custom does not prevail here. II it did,
how horrible would be the situat en- Of fat
aud tail widow, concerned by the inexc rable
law OF custom, to wear the trousers of her
late lamentod short and thin husband! I'm
agine, too, the feelings of small and lean
widow who had TO W ,ar tie coat and ousers
of depaa:ed husband who was high and cor
pulent! Worse yet. consider the dreadful
suffering of ayoung and lovely girl who should
be obliged to wear the antique bonnet of dc

Think of the misery of the small boy who

and with that parents high hat covreing his
head un.l it rested on his very shoulders.
And still more awful, imagine lone widow

WOmanIy HIodesiy,

Man loves the mysterious. A cloudless
sky, the full.blown rose leaves him IN
moved; but the violet which hides its
blushing beauties behind the bush and the
moon, when she emerges from behind q
cloud, are to him a source of inspiration
and pleasure. Iodesty is to merit, what
shade is to figure in painting; it gives it
boldness and prominence. Nothing adds
more to female beauty than modesty; it
sheds around the countenance a halo of
light which is borrowed from virtue.
Botanists have given the rosy hue which
tiHges the cup of the rose the name OF
maiden blush" This pure and delicate
hue is the only paint that Christian virtue
should use; it is the richest ornament. A
woman without modesty is like a faded
flower, which the prudent gardener will
throw away from him. Her destiny is
melancholy, for it ends in shame and re-
pentance. Beauty passes like the flower of
the aloe, which blooms and dies in a few
hours, but modesty gives the female char
acter charms which supplies the place of
the transtory FRESHNESS of youth.

Wolf or Blind Teeth.

We clip this from the Live Stock Jour
nal, and many of our stockmen may profit
by giving heed to the hints: These teeth
may be found, either in germ or developed
in the mouths of colts from one to six
years of age. Colts eyes generally become
infamed between the ages of three and
six years and this Inflammation is attri-
buted by many to the pesence of wolf teeth.
Accordingly, these teeth are knocked out
andin cases of periodic opthalmia the in
tiammation will usually pass off in four
or five days; the cure is then attributed to
the removal Of the harmless wolf teeth.
These teeth have no connection whatever
with the eye nor any influence in produ-
cling the inflammation. They will general
~ lie found in the mouths of young horses
having sound eyes, and sometimes, as in
filling molar teeth, may be seen in horses
fifteen or twenty years of age, and with
perfectly good sight. 1t is useless to re-
move wolf teeth, for they will drop out
themselves. Apply some cooling applica-
ton 20 the irflamed part.

Tic Grlefs of ChIldhond.

These bitter sorrows of childhood! when
sorrow is all new and strange, when hope
has not yet got wings to fly beyond the
days and weeks, aud the space from sum
mer to summer seems measureless. "Ah,
my child, you will have troubles to fret
about by and by" is the consolation we
almost all of us had administered to us in
our childhood, and have repeated to other
children, since we have been grown up.
We have all OF us sObbed so piteously,
standing with tiny bare legs, above our
little socks, when we lost sight Of our
mother or nurse in some strange place but
we can no longer recall the poignancy OF
that moment and weep over it, as we do
over the observation-disclosures five or
ten years ago. Every one of those keen
moments has left its trace, and lives in US
STILL but such traces have blent themselves
irrevocably with the firmer texture OF our
youth and manhood and so it comes that
we can look on at the troubles OF our
children with a smiling disbelief in the
reality of their path.
Is there any one who can recover the ex-
perience of childhood, not merely with a
memory Of what he did and what hap

pened to him, OF what he liked and dis
liked when he was in frocks and trowsers,
but with an intimate penetration, a reviv-
ed consciousness OF what he felt then
when he was so long from one midsum-
mer to another? What he felt when his
chool-fellows put him out OF their game
because he would pitch the ball wrong
out of mere willfulness or on rainy day
in the holidays, when he did not know
how to amuse himself and fell from idle
ness into mischief, from mischief into de-
fiance, and from defiance into sulkiness :;
or when his mother absolutely refused to
let him have tailed coat that "half,"
although every other boy of his age had
gone into tails already. Surely, if We could
recall that early bitterness, and the dim
guesses, the strangely perspectiveless con-
ception oflife that gave the bitterness its
intensity, we should not pooh-pooh the
griefs OF our children. Childhood has no
forebodings; but then, it is soothed by no
memories OF out-lived sOrrow.-George
