Watering Horses Just AFTER Eating.

Atareccnt meeting OF the Formatinc
Agricultural Association of Scotland Mr..
Cassie, V. S., of New Machar, in pa,
per relating to this subject, truly stated
that full drink of water Immediately
after being fed should never be allowed
TO horses. When water is drunk
by them, the bulk Of it goes directly to
the large intcstides, and little OF it is re-
tained in their stomachs. In passing
through them, however, the water car.
rics considerable quantities oftheirs con-
fonts to wehre it lodges in the intcs;ines
Ii, then, the contents of horses stomachs
arc washed out Of them before they are
digested, they arc in manner lost, nc
nourishment being derived from them
As was well known, the horse had q
very small stomach, and experiments
had often bcen tried which went to
prove what he had said. In Edinburgh,
old horses had been fed with split peas
and then supplied with water immediate
" before being killed. 1t was fount
that the water had carried tine peas from
fifty to sixty feet into tho intes;ines
where no digestion took place at all.

a MERIrgD

The recent action Of Senator Car

a. Chairman Of the Joint Committee for
investigating the alleged frauds Of the
"District Ring In Washington, has
occasiened severe comment. The
committee Ia composed Of appointees
from both tho Senate and tho House OF
Representatives, Its members being
appointed by the President pro TEN OF
the Senate and the Speaker OF the
House. Senator Boutwell, was ap.
pointed by Mr.. Carpenter as u OF
tho Senate members. He declined to
serve, and In his place Mr.. Stewart
was designated. II Mr.. Carpenter

movers Of this Investigation. But
Senator Carpenter, acting apparently
In the interests OF the Ring" not
only appointed Mr.. Stewart asa men,
Der Of tho committee, but also desig-
mated him rs Its chairman. In doing
this he assumed a power which he did
not possess. Tho rule requires COM
mlttees OF tho Senate to be elected,

Mr.. Allison having been appointed

below him on the committee, and Mr..
Stewart, appointed after both, would,
by the same rule, rank below both.
There IL doubt Of Senator Carpenters
right even to say who should be chair

REALFsrIC INCONSISTENCIES


The play-actors of New York are
greatly excited at the row which has
taken place between Manager DAILY and
his leading man, George Clarke. IF
the latter hadn't much histrionic skill
to boast of, he could at least pride him
self upon a mustache whose merit was
recognized by half the maidens attend
ant upon the matinees. DAILY is real
1st. One evening he was in the audi
forum of his theatre when 'tThe School
for Scandal was on the boards, and
observed what had not struck him be-
fore, th&t Charles Surface, otherwise
Mr.. Clarke, was actually violating the
proprleties by wearing a mustache. In
stantly he dispatched a bulletin to the
green-room, directing that all mus
taches be shaved by the next perform
ance. Clarke saw the mandate and was
enraged. He instantly sought an in
terview with the exacting manager.
What followed is narrated by the local
press of New York, which thought the
subject of sufficient interest to inter-
view the actor. One of the journals has
the following
60 Mr.. Daly,' said I, Il shall not
shave.my mustache for rto-morrownight.
But, said he, the order has been
posted requiring it, His answer
CALLED me, said Mr. Clarke. His men
tion of the order smacked of fines and
forfeiture 1 felt as though L was being
bought and sold, and I rebelled.' Mr..
DAILY said Clarke, will not play to-
morrow night unless I can play with
mustaches. It will be no great viola
ton of the unities of the play. It has
been so played before. Lester Wallack
acted Charles Surface with both side
whiskers and mustache. If you Wanted
me to be the Hunchback would you
send me to a gymnasium to break my
back 2 I have nothing more to say to
you, replied Mr.. DAILY. 'Then, said
Clarke, you can make your first appear
ance on the stage as Charles Surface.
1 play for ambition as well as money,
and must leave you Then Clarke
changed his clothes, took his hat, and
left the theatre. F."
Clarke has been long enough out of
employment to regret his haste. By
maintaining the integrity of his mus
tache has sacrificed salary of 800 per
week, and though lots of girls have
written encouragement and consolation,
he does not find that such letters put
money in his purse.

THAT LITTLE GIRL.

The jovial captain of one of the
steamships now in port tells good
story relative to the May and Decem-
Der marriages SO common in Brazil. A
Brazilian gentleman, apparently over
so years of age, was passenger on his
vessel. He was accompanied by two
girls, one about Is, and another
younger The gentleman was sea-sick
in the cabin, and the girls were on
deck, whereupon the captain endeavored
to amuse them-took them on his
knees, and told them stories, while he
enjoyed their prattle and pretty smiles.
In the midst of this pleasant occupa-
ton the gentleman came on deck. With
a fierce expression he gazed upon the
scene for a moment, and then inquired
in harsh, husky voice; You, sir !;
are you married ?'' eyes I have a
daughter older than your little girl
here" said the Captain. t'She re-
minds me very much of mine.' Here
he pauted the pretty cheek. "That
little girl, sir" exclaimed the indignant
Brazilian, with great emphasis, that
little girl is my wife, sir" The cap
tain collapsed.
