HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

How to swallow pill is thus stated
by correspondent: "Put the pills un-
der the tongue and behind the teeth, and
let the patient Immediately take large
swallow of water and he will neither feel
the pill nor taste it. In fact, he cannot tell
where it has gone, and l have seen them
look about the floor to see If they had not
dropped it."
An Illinois farmer determines the age
of all animals over nine years old by the
following novel method: After the horse
is nine years old wrinkle comes on the
upper corner of the lower lid, and every
year thereafter he has one well-detined
wrinkle for every year after nine. If, for
instance, a horse has three wrinkles, he
is twelve, if he has four, he is thirteen.
Add the number of wrinkles to nine and
you will get it.
"A correspondent Of an exchange says:
:" For collie in horses give the horse
twenty drops of oil of peppermint in
half pint of warm water, and you will find
him getting better soon. This / have
used when other old remedies have failed;
and / used it in coughs and colds for my
self. To stop cough, take small lump
of sugar and drop two or three drops of
oil of peppermint and let it dissolve in
the mouth then swallow it. and you will
feel better"
Founder. --H. j. f., of Medina, N. Y,
writes to the Spirit Of the Times as fol-
lows: II have horse which two weeks
ago drove thirty miles. When arrived
home he was a little warm. uthim into
the stall, and about eight o'clock in the
evening, some three hours after getting
home, gave him some water. The next
morning, on going to the barn, l found
him so stiff and sore that he could not
move. j went after our veterinary sur
geon, and he commenced bathing his feet
in warm water, and he also gave him
some medicine to physic him. He Is
this morning just as Timber and apparent
ly as well as ever. He also stuffed his
feet with oil cake What / wish to know
is, did he do right, and is there any
danger of his stiiiening up agains" An
swer.--The treatment was in every respect
judicious. With little more than
ordinary care for short time to come
there need be no anxiety whatever in re-
gard TO the horses powers of endurance
in the future. There is no call for further
treatment

if you don't treat her right I'll Danish
you and give her everything" This had
tho desired effect, and the unhappy
couple settled their differences, and de-
parted apparently happy.
Another good story is told of the
Squire which will illustrate his idea OF
justice. A German living in his neigh
borhood kept a vicious dog, which had
served as a nuisance to all passers. One
Sunday morning an old gentleman called
on the Squire in sad plight. The dog
had made an assault on him and succeed
ed in tearing out goodly portion of his
pantaloons." The Squire was at
breakfast, and at once ordered the COM
plainant TO sit down to the table and eat
his breakfast while his constable went
after the owner of the dog. The Ger
man was attired in his best clothes, ready
for church, when he was brought before
the Squire. After confronting the par
ties the Squire ordered the con-
stable to "bastile" them both until they
exchanged pants. This latter operation
did not occupy much time, when the
prison was thrown open and they were
allowed to depart The Squire still
laughs over the case, but says he never
heard any further complaint about that

A Justice Who Knew Justice but No
Law.

In Hamilton County, Ohio, there lives an
old man named Sedan, who for forty-six
years was a Justice Of the Peace, and
who administered justice with such a
thorough disregard for law that he is
known as the "Chief Justice Of Storrs,"
that being the township in which he re-
sides.
The Squire solemnized marriages, and,
when occasion required, granted divorces.
A German and his wife, whom he had
married about five months before, applied
Jointly one day for a divorce. The Chief
Justice" heard their complaints, after
which he told the German 10 state the
amount Of money he had, and the value
OF the goods he owned in small store.
This done, the Squire told the German
10 give his wife the money and keep the
store. To this he objected. Then he
told the German to keep the money and
give his wife the store. To this PROPOSE
ton he also objected. "Weli," said the
Squire, "you are not inclined to act
Justly toward your wife, and I'll be
blamed If don't compel you to live with
her now for the balance Of your life, and

atom expelled than live atom rushes in
and takes its place, where it remains un-
til called upon in turn to yield up its life,
and thus fulfill its mission in the great
economy of nature.
These considerations enable us to real
ize the important part which oxygen
plays in the phenomena of life. There
can be no perfect development and no
healthy efficient action without liberal
supply. This supply, in the exact form
which the system demands, is furnished
by pure atmospheric air. In this way
oxygen comes to the lungs mingled in
due proportion with nitrogen, a portion
of it being in that modified form called
ozone
All pure air contains ozone, and owes
its life and health giving power in no
small degree to its presence.
Air is deprived of its ozone and loaded
with poisonous matter by being breathed,
by passing through the hot-air chamber
of an over-heated furnace, and by passing
over decaying animal and vegetable mat
ter, such, for instance, as exists in open
sewers and cesspools.
Foul water-closets and damp, unclean
cellars accomplish the same result; so in
an eminent degree do those ingenious
contrivances called Baltimore heaters;
also stoves and ranges with heater attach.
ments. In all of them air that has been
breathed, perhaps several times over, is
called upon to do duty second time, af-
ter having been purified, as the writer
has been grayely informed, by passing
through heated chamber, where
il is deprived of its ozone, and freighted
with coal-gas. These things subserve an
excellent purpose where scarcity of air
renders economy in its use an object, and
where surplus of population makes it
desirable TO increase the bills of mortal
ity; but where air is plenty and cheap
they can be dispensed with without detri-
ment
BY such causes vast amount of dis
ease is produced. The necessity OF
keeping the lungs abundantly supplied
with pure air ought to be fully appre.
ciated by everyone, and especially by
those who have the care of households.
Such subjects have close relation with
the development of the highest Christian
character Paul says, "Know ye not that
your body is the temple of the Holy
Ghostr' Certainly then the temple
should be taken good care of. Cheerful
ness, purity of mind, clearness of spirit
by which to discern Divine truth-in a
word, spiritual health is fostered by bod
lily health. To poison the body by foul
air is TO poison the soul as well. d.,

Tree.PIanting.

The treeless country Is generally des-
olate country. The great prairies of the
West may seem TO form an exception;
but they were deemed, for long time, to
be uninhabitable, and were accounted Of
little worth until the construction Of
railroads brought them so far into com
munication with the rest of the world
that lumber could reach them at mod
crate cost of transportation.
Our people have gone on cutting and
destroying as If they believed our forests
to be practically inexhaustible. But the
denuded lands begin to suggest that the
time may come, and that at no distant
day, when the supply will be exhausted.
1t Is true that the process OF growth will
replace our forests; but the destruction
goes on much more rapidly than the re-
covery. Nature, with her slow processes,
cannot compete with the axes of the lum-
bermen who swarm into our forests, in
tent upon the mere money making Of the
present, either thoughtless OF the future
or entirely willing to let 1t take care OF
itself
The destruction Of the forests of the
country has important climatic and other
influences which ought to be taken into
consideration. The rainfall. and conse-
materially affected by the absence or
presence of forests, so that in the matter
of pecuniary interest 1t is not wise to de-
stroy our forests with such undue haste.
The Legislature Of this State has re-
garded the question of timber supply OF
sufficient importance to take action upon
1t. A bill has just been passed, ana re-
ceivcd the signature Of the Governor, for
the encouragement Of the planting and
cultivation of forest trees for timber. It
would seem that self-interest should move
our agricultural population to this, with
out the incentive OF premiums; but men
have never shown themselves over anxious
TO plant for posterity's reaping, and SO
this law, with its premiums, comes In as
an incentive TO work in this direction, by
offering bounty Of ten dollars To every
person who will plant and cultivate for
three years an acre or more OF for
est trees. This inducement, under the
law, Is but an uncomfortable one,
and were il not for the fact that
timber-growing, through quite long Sc
ries Of years, To be sure, is more profita-
BILE than contrasting, il would not proba-
bly, secure the desired result. But II Is to
be hoped that our farmers will be led to
see the importance Of re-supplying our
forests, which are 80 rapidly melting
away before the assaults Of the woodmen,
and enter upon this cultivation, which
cannot fail TO prove public benefit, but,
in time, a profitable investment, az
the value OF timber must increase
with its scarcity. We have seen state
ments made by those who entered upon
this culture years ago, that the result has
been profitable even In the lifetime of the
planter. And so it will be with every
one who sows his seed or sets his trees
before he is too far advanced in life. A
little patience and an ignoring of that
feature Of the age which prompts men to
haste to be rich Is all that Is wanting.
We hope the people Of Illinois will re-
spond largely to the enlightened action OF
their Legislators. Chicago Standard.

will, and felt as if they were on a wild
goose chase; but when they arrived at
the house they were Mortified with the
state of matters, and thankful that a
childish fancy--as they thought at first
should have been the means of bringing
them to Dynefoot so OPPORTUNITY.
The children at Auchensack were ey-
tremely fond of Kirstie, and 1t was a
favorite amusement of theirs, every after
noon as the dusk came on, to watch for
the light appearing in her window.
When, long after the usual time, none
appeared, they could not understand it
at all; the anniversary of her wedding
day, too what could be the matters AT
last Mr.. and Mrs. Gray became uneasy
themselves, and sent off the two men,
who arrived at the very time when their
help was most needed.
Archie came too" after little; but
nothing they could do had any effect in
rousing Kirstie; so one of them went
back to Auchensack, and from there was
sent on for the doctor. Poor man, he
was just sitting down 10 supper, at cosy
little party which had assembled to see
the old year out and the new year in"
when he was told that the shepherd at
Dynefoot had had bad fall in the glen,
and his wife was "near deid" with carry
ing him home.
Carrying him home," said one of the
company, incredulously; "why, 1t Is i'm
possible; the woman must be an ANA

so she is, both in body and SOUL" re-
piled the doctor, who had known her for
years; "and as il is on her account and
her husbands don't mind the long ride
over the snow one bit; so good night, and
a happy new year to you all"
Kirstie was "near deid," but she got a
great shake, and for some time was graver
and quieter than her wont; as if the wings
of the Angel of Death had really passed
closely by her. One lasting trace she had
of her exertions that night--her pretty
brown hair was ever after thickly streaked
with gray.
Archie, after being III for long time,
became eventually quite strong and hearty
again; but all his life after was influenced
by that wild night in Glen Dyne, and the
lesson in simple faith taught him by his
wife.
