Plants i'm SIeepins.RO0m

The question whether or not plants ara
unwholesome in a sleeping-room has called
forth curious diversity Of opinion. 1t is
agreed that by day they emit oxygen, and
are therefore eminently healthful; but it is
generally believed that by night they give
out carbonic acid, and are consequently
preJudicial to animal life Recent expert
ments by Professor Kedzie, of Michigan
Agricultural College, may perhaps be re-
garded as conclusive on the subject. The
professor analysed volumes of air taken
about noon from different parts of the col.
lege greenhouse, containing 5000 plants,
alter 1t had been closed for twelve hours,
and found that the carbonic acid amount.
ed on the average to 1.39 in 10000 parts.
He then did the same just before sunrise,
and found the average to be 3.94, thus, he
thinks, clearly demonstrating that the &C.
emulation of noxious gas was greater in
darkness than in daylight. At the same
time, however, out door air contains four
parts OF carbonie acid in 10000. At tfse
worst, therefore, the air in the greenhouse
was actually better than 'pure country air.
and the emission of carbonic acid gas was
barely sufficient to counterbaance the pro
duction of oxygen during daylight. Pro.
lessor Kedzie concludes that, these being
the facts of the case where 5000 plant
are collected, a dozen or two in bedroom
cannot possibly be injurious

Uses OF RAwHIDE.-The skin of an ami
NAL, whether cow, calf, colt, or horse that
dies on the farm, is worth more at home
than at the tanners. Cut it into narrow
strips, and shave off the hair with a sharp
knife before the kitchen fire, or in the work.
shop, ON stormy days and evenings. You
may make them soft by rubbing. A raw
hide halter strap an inch wide, will hold a
horse better, and last longer, than an inch
rope. 1t is stronger than hoop iron and
may be used to hoop dry casks and boxes,
and for hinges.
Try it on broken thill, or any wosd-
work that has been split. Put it on wet,
and Hail fast Thin skins make the best
bag strings in the world. A rawhide rope
is good substitute for chain. 1t is val.
liable to mend a broken link in trace
chain. For some purposes it is best to use
it in its natural state. For other purpose.
it may be dressed soft.

NAMING CHILD.-One evening, at the
house of DR.. Arnott 1883, Mr.. Rowland
Hill gave some curious traits of the wretch
ed ignorance of a population of naiers in
some central district of England with
which he was acquainted. A clergyman
eXerted himself to effect an improvement,
took particular care to get their children
baptized. One day, having come to bap-
tie a newly born infant, whom he under
stood to be q boy, lie asked what name he
should give the child The father was
quite at II loss, had no predictions on the
subject. "Shall it be Scripture name ~
Assent. well, what Scripture name ?"
The man agreed, at the minister's sugges-
ton, that Benjamin would do. AS he was
retiring afterwards, he heard a great shout
ing, and turning back, met the father, who
exclaimed "Sir, it wunna dot maun be
done again-the 6airn's a aoench.

A WRINKLE ABOUT THE AGE OF Hons

A WRINKLE ABOUT THE AGE OF Hons
Es.-A short time ago we met gentle
man from Illinois who gave piece of in.
formation in regard to ascertaining the
age of horses after they have passed the
ninth year, which was new to us, and will
be, we are sure, to most of our readers. 1t
is this: After the horse is nine years old a
wrinkle comes on the upper corner of the
lower eye lid, and every year thereafter he
has one well-defned wrinkle for eyery
year over nine. If, for instance, horse
has three wrinkles, he is twelve, if lie has
four he is thirteen. Add the number of
wrinkles to nine and you will get it. So
says the gentleman, and he is sure it will
not fail. AS good many people have
horses over nine, it is easily tried. Ii true,
the horse dentist must give up his trade.
