WATERING HORSES AFTER MEALS.

A full drink of water Immediately after be-
ing fed, should never be allowed to horses.
When water is drank by them, the bulk of it
goes directly to the large intestines, and little
of it is retained in the stomach. In passing
through the stomach, however, the water
carries considerable quantities of the contents
to where it lodges in the intestines If, then,
the food of horses stomachs is washed out
before it is digested, no nourishment will be
derived from the feed. In Edinburg, some
old horses were fed with split peas, and then
supplied with water Immediately before berg
killed. 1t was found that the water mad
carried the peas from fifty to sixty feet into
the intestines, where no digestion took place
at all.
Mr. Cassie is quite correct in the views set
forth regarding the injurious effects of large
quantities of water swallowed Immediately
after eating. A small quantity Of fluid swal-
lowed along with, or Immediately after dry
food, benefcially softens it and assists in its
subdivision and digestion. An ordinate sup
ply of water, or of watery fluid, on the other
hand, proves injurious. 1t dilutes unduly
the digestive secretions; it mechanically car.
ries onward the imperfectly digested food, and
thus interferes with the proper functions of
the canal and excites indigestion and diar-
rboea. These untoward effects are especially
ant to occur where horses, freely fed and too
literally watered, are shortly put to tolerablly
quick work. There is no more lntalllble
method of producing collie, diarrhea, and in.
Aammation of the bowels. The horse is not
peculiar in this effect; dogs, and even their
masters, similarly suffer from copious draughts
of water Immediately after eating much solid
food.-N. Y. Herald.

How 10 SOFTEN PUTTY OR PA1Sr.-lt
frequently happens in every household that
paint is to to be removed, or old putty taken
from the window sash. The Harness and
Carriage Journal gives the following receipt
for accomplishing this without injury to the
wood work: "Mix equal parts of good soap,
potash, and Stacked lime, add sufficient water
to form paste; apply this with a brush, and
let it stand some three or four hours, and your
putty or paint will be softened, so that it can
be easily removed with blunt chisel."

THE Souls TRUE SUN.-Were the sun to
be blotted out of the heavens, every leaf and
flower would wither; life would cease. With
out sunshine, earth would be desert
Jehovah is the sun of the soul. Without
His beams all is not merely darkness, but
death. His love is the sunshine that glad
dens and revives us. Where that love is
shed down, all is peace; where that love is
withheld, all is sadness, and terror, and gloom.
Life is not life when this love is hidden. In
His favor is life. The favor of others may
cheer US for an hour, and make US forget our
weariness but it leaves the soul as heavy and
dark rs before. 1t does not comfort it does
not Quicken, it does not heal or fresh. Only
of Gods love can it be said that in it is life.
Yes, it contains life for US, the true life of
the soul; and he who fndeth this favor is
blessed. Nor is this favor hard to find. 1t
does not need to be bought. 1t is freely given.
We have but to take it. Like the sunshine,
it is around u.s. and we have but to give it
entrance. God sends us the good news of it
in the gospel Of his grace; and he who simply
receive IS that gospel, is at once put in posses
sion of the Divine favor, the whole free love
of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hence the apostle says, ave have known and
believed the love that God hath to u.s."
John 4: 16.

MORNING HoURs.-Tom Jones was lit
tie fellow, and not so quick to learn as some
boys but no one in the class could beat him
in his lessons. He rarely missed in geogra-
ply, never in spelling, and his arithmetic was
always correctly done; as for his reading, no
boy improved like him. The scholars were
fairly angry sometimes, he outdid them so con-
stantly. "Why, Tom, when do you learn
your lesson? You don't study in school like
the other boys"
81 rise early in the morning, and study all
hour before breakfast" answered Tom.
All that is it. "The morning, hour has
gold in its mouth"

How SHE TURNED PREsBYrER1AN-Mrs.
Magruder will probably leave DIR. Hopkins
church and 60 hereafter to the Presbyterian
meeting house. DR.. Hopkins last week had
q frightful boil on his leg, and he experienced
very severe pain when he tried to walk.
While ne was sitting in his study on Friday,
Mrs Magruder called and was ushered into
the parlor. The servant went up the back
stairs to tell the doctor, and, while she was
on her way, the doctor started down the front
stairs to get drink of water It hurt him so
much to walk upon the steps that he conclu-
ded to slide down the banisters on his stomach ;
and so, after looking carefully over the land
ing to satisfy himself that nobody was about,
he mounted the banister and began to descend.
The stairs run directly past the parlor door,
and Mrs. Magruder was amazed to see the
clergyman descending with great rapi dity, and
in that singular fashion. 1t seems that the
servant girl had placed coal.scuttle by the
newell post while she went for the doctor, and
as he descended with awful velocity he alight-
ed in the scuttle and fell to the floor. With
out being aware of the presence of the visitor,
he leaped up in a rage and exclaiming,
"Hang that woman :" he gave the scuttle
kick which sent it whirling into the parlor,
where it brought up in Mrs. Magruder's lap.
Of course she thought the demonstration and
the ejaculation were intended for her, and af
ter rising to her feet and shaking her UNI
brella at her pastor, she shouted: eff you
kick another coal-scuttle at me I'll punch the
stuffin' out of you with this yer umbrella !"
She emerged from the front door with the
conviction that Presbyteriansm was the only
religion for her.-Baptist Weekly.
