HEART DIsEAsE.-Many persons suiler
with heart disease without knowing it
suddenly they drop off and their frlends
are astonished, ON post 'nortem examl-
nation. to learn that they died OF heart
disease. The heart, like the brain, is the
seat Of life-its diseases are OF several
characters. The most common are
yaivular disease, fatty degeneration, and
functional arrangement. If the liver be-
comes deranged, and digestion is i'm,
paired, the heart, through sympathy ana
iuxtaposition, becomes abnormal. Inc

The Action of Drains.

In my travels among farmers, and es-
pecially among those who believe in
drains and their attendant improvements,
am surprised that many do not proper
ly understand the manner, or rather the
position, in which the water enters the
drain.
1t is of course understood that drain
only removes the surplus water, and
hence a common barrel filled with earth
may be taken as the representative of
the under soil. If into this barrel we
pour water until the earth becomes satu-
rated the surplus will run over the top
and our barrel represents a soil too wet
for cropping. If previous to putting in
the water, we make holes in the side of
the barrel at different distances from the
bottom, they will represent so many
drains laid at different depths.
If we now pour in the water we will
find that it will first sink to the bottom
of the barrel until all the soil is satu-
rated, and then the surplus will rise and
run out at the lowest opening; if this af-
fords it vent as fast as poured in at the
top it will rise no higher, but if the sup
ply exceeds the ability of the opening
the level will rise until it does find es-
cape, even though this he over the top.
So it is with the open soil All soils
have point at which the water perma-
nently stands; in some places on high
land this point is far below the surface,
and in low lands too near the surface for
successful farming. When rain falls it
sinks into the soil until it meets this
water-level and rises in the exact pro-
portion to the amount of rain; if deeper
openings are not found the low ground
is overaowed, but if properly-constructed
drains are laid the surplus escapes
before approaching sufficiently near the
surface to interfere with the crops. Even
where the drain is too small to immedi-
ately give vent to all the surplus water
no harm ensues, because the action of
the drain is kept up to its full extent
after the rain ceases to fall and until the
level is reduced to that of the bottom
of the drain.
We may then assume that water enters
the drain from the bottom, and that on
soft ground drains are often closed by
the soft mud or quicksand being forced
up from below, and very seldom if ever
from material from above; hence on this
kind of bottom it is safest to use narrow
boards under the tile. Theoretically,
this water-level should be at the bottom
of the tile all over the drained land, but
practically it is found to rise between
the drains to height which varies with
the nature of the soil and the distance of
the drains apart. This Is chargeable to
the capillary action of the soil, raising
the water like q sponge.-Cor. Country

A Thousand Pounds for a Book.

BIBIIoPHILIsTs and dealers in old books
have had their curiosity and avarice ex-
cited in the lastthree days by placard
in which is announced a reward CT
FL 600 in gold for certain book. The
mystery is to learn the name Of the vol
ume and what there is about it that
makes it so precious. The only informa.
ton given in the placard is that it is a
certain book printed in London by T.
Jackson, of Newgate street, in 1880, with
the name of NJ. Lindsell, Pater Noster
row, on the title page as publisher. 1t
says the Lord Chancellor prohibited the
publication of the work because it con-
tanned statements regarding member
of the royal family. An address in
Duke street, London, is given as the
place where the reward will be paid.
There is only one copy of the namelesa
book in the United States, according to
the circular.
Why the title of the book for which a
sum is offered equal to that advertised
for the recovery of the 5000, 900 worth
of family jewels stolen from Lady bud.
ley is not given, is something that the
bibliophilists cannot understand. Tie
reward is the most extraordinary in their
experience.
The year 1880 was the one in which the
fourth and last Of the Georges who sat
on the throne of England died. The
monarch's life was the subject Of many
scandals, some of which found their way
into print and were subsequently sup
pressed by the Government.-N. 2. Sun.

The Old Family Horse.

THERE are many families that have
now, or have. had, family horse that
has been q member of the same family
for twenty or perhaps even thirty years,
and always true and faithful servant.
And now the question comes up: What
shall be done with the old horse? His
teeth are gone, he can no longer eat to
sustain life, he is no longer comfort to
himself or to the family" Now / will
not attempt to tell what others should do
with their own, but / will tell what has
been done in two cases. Not far from
Waterbury, Conn, was family thathad
such horse, well cared for, fat and
sleek, but he had lost his activity and
gayety; the owner sold him for five dol
lars to be taken out of his sight. A few
months afterward he saw the old horse
coming up the street, hltched to an old
wagon with doubtful-looking driver;
he had evidently seen hard times. The
former owner hailed the driver, Friend,
do you want to sell that horses" Eyes"
"What do you ask for him?" Fifty
dollars, sir" "Here is your money, un-
harness him." The old horse was taken
to his old home and given all the good
things he could swallow, and then :
five-dollar bill was given to faithful
man to kill and bury him. This
brought one family in the land to their
feelings of humanity. In my own case
on the LIST of May, 1847, had the foal
of very nice mare; he was handled and
caressed by the family. and at three
years I plowed corn with him without q
line, and he has been just as good as a
servant until the list of December, 1874
twenty seven years and seven months.
His last act was to take my daughter of
fourteen to school, every school day for
ten weeks, not missing day-only one
other scholar was $50 punctual (the min
ister's son, near the school-house) Al
most every night he brought home some
member of the school for nights visit,
and once the teacher. Thus ended the
career Of the old horse. After the little
girl had gone out of town to another
school, and was out Of hearing from her
old friend, had hole dug and half
bushel of oats given the old horse to
swallow The could not eat them), and
when he had worried at them all that he
cared for he was taken out and killed
and put in the hole, shoes, hide and all,
and buried with my own hand so deep
that no fox-hounds could smell him.
