Trunk Hose.

During the reign Of Queen Elizabeth,
of England, the famous daughter of
Henry VIII, the "trunk hose" was
worn by the Earl of Leicester and his
compeers. This article of dress was
made of velvet, silk, satin, or damask,
of the brightest colors. They were
short and very full breeches, gathered
into tight bands at q short distance
above the knee, and distended o that
their wearers could attain the coveted
circumference of nearly three yards
about the hips by stuifiug Of curled
horse-hair, and sometimes bran was
used. Its is stated by an English
writer that, in searching the person of a
young dandy, arrested for some crime,
the padding of his trunk hose consisted
of "a pair of sheets, two tablecloths,
ten napkins, four shirts, hand.glass, a
comb, and a night-cap." II is not men.

MEDIEVAL ITALY.

The music quaint OF viol and lutte
Floated merrily through the air;
But, well away my soul was mute
Mute with a vague despair.
Scarlet the stTeaks of sunset;
Purple the clouds Ofnight;
Scarlet three CHASTITY streaks which met
My astonished, aching sight.
The peacock they bore athwart the hall
With jubilant trumpet blast;
When low and sad came a spirit-call,
Like q wailing wind IL past.
Up from the myrtle thlcket,
Up from theb black lagoon.
There hoated through the wicket
A phantom pale as the moon.
Each Arab steed within his stall
Whinnied a piercing cry;
Each startled hound in the banquet hall
Howled asst fioated by.
Within my chamber lowly
Bowed the Phantom's crowne head,
AS. with reckoning finger, slowly
He approached my pallet-bed.
Uprose the full and crimson moon,
Cleaned through the trellised vine;
Stunned were my ears by h deep bassoon,
By the songs oflove and wine.
They Toasted within the painted hall;
They danced, made jubilee;
They heared not the plaintiff phantom-call
Saw not who had come TO me;
Yet there safe his daughters Jovial,
Zach one on ner husbands knee.
And one was clothed in rose-red silk,
The second in velvet green,
The third in satin white as milk
Would their souls as fair had been!

The sheaf ofhcstile spear, and broke

Borne like a warrisr on his shield

Use for Old Moving m.ch;...

In company with w. ii. Mathews, of Corn

horsepower arranged for churning, and con-
stlucted out OF an old moving machine. Sew
eral are III use III that town. The cost seems
to be but slight, aud utizes almost worthless
property. Take off one driving wheel, and i'm
place near the place of churnng fix upop
tirm timbers the moving machine with its re-
naming driving wheel uppermost. Upon
this driving wheel a lever about ten feet long
is fastened with bolts; to this lever the horse
is attached, and as he walks in a circle
around the machine, propels its gearing. The
pole OF the moving machine, fastened by
bolts to the same wheel that formerly gave
the vlbratory motion to the cutter-bar now
extends horizontally along the ground, and
on its end outside the circle OF the horses
walk is placed wheel upon which the rope
belt runs, connecting with a similar pulley
on the end of the Sanborn churn. Hitch the
horse to the lever, and the machine churns.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Recent Investigations Concerning the
Feeding of Animals.

Hhecenf Investigations Concerning the
Feeding of Animals.
Ii Is well known that herbivorous animals
are iond OF common salt, and this is as true
Oh Wild animals as OF those domesticated by
man. Carniverous animals, ON the other
hand, either have no liking for salt or show a
positive aversion to it. Cats, for example,
VIII rarely touch salt meat This difference
IS not easily explained. The blood of both
classes OF animals contains a certain amount
OF soda salts, but the quantity of soda in a
vegetable diet is not necessarily less than in
one OF flesh. A German experimenter. Herr
Bunge, has been the first to suggest plausi.
bic solution of the enigma. A vegetable diet
furnishes twice as much potash in proportion
to its soda as a flesh diet does, and il occurred
to him that the greater supply of potash must
be attended with a greater waste of soda. To
test this theory experimentally, he put HIM
self upon perfectly uniform diet of beef
bread, butter, sugar, and a small quantity OF
salt. When, by daily analysis of The urine.
he found that the quantity of soda and not.
ash eXcreted mad become constant. he pro-
ceeded 10 take such dose of potash salts dur
ing the day as would raise the amount of not
ash III his diet to a level with that daily con-
suned by herbivorous animal. The resnlt
was an, immediate eXcretion of chloride of
sodium in the urine, the amount being al
once increased threefod. Much potash was.
OF course, also passed. The experiment was
repeated at various times, employing different
salts of potash, but always with similar re-
suit, dose of potash in every case producing
an immediate excretion of soda. Bunge be-
lleves that this tendency Of potash to produce
greater waste of soda in the system is the
cause of the desire shown by herbivorous an
lmals for common salt. Their vegetable Diet
is generally very rich in potash. and they in
stinctively seek an additional supply of soda.
Soda does not seem to be an essential ingredi-
ent OF plants, but it is certainly indispensable
in the animal economy. In muscle, and in
the blood corpuscles, potash is an essential
constituent; but in the fluid portion of the
blood potash is actually injurious. and if in
Jected, even in small doses, produces death.
Soda salts, on the other hand, eau be injected
with safety, and their presence in the blood rs
essential to the continuation of vital process
