Organisms in the Atmosphere.

A BRIEF record of the studies of Mr.. G.
II. Blackley on the connection between
the pollen of grasses and hay asthma is
given in the Quarterly Journal Of Micro
scopic Science. The observations were
continued from April to the end of July.
BY means Of slip of glass coated with
non-dying liquid, and exposed horizon
tally, the quantity of pollen grains present
in the air of a meadow at the breathing
level was daily estimated. The greatest
number was obtained June %, when $50
grains settled upon surface of square
centimeter in twenty -four hours. Sudden
diminutions IN the quantity of pollen were
occasioned by rain, together with fall in
the temperature. By the use of a kite
strata of atmosphere were examined to
the height of 1000 feet. Pollen was
found to be much more abundant in the
upper levels than at the breathing level,
the proportion being as ten to one. Fun
gold spores were found in the air in large
quantities. In one experiment the spores
of cryptogam were too numerous at the
height of 1000 feet to be counted, but
were reckoned at rough estimate to be
not less than $4,000 or 10000 to the square
inch. By a series of experiments it was
proved that these organisms travel consid-
cradle distances through the air.

Breaking Colts.

This is the season of the year for wean-
ing colts and consequently for handling
them. The earlier colts are broken to
the use Of the halter and to be handled the
better. But before anyone attempts to
break colt he should be certain that he
was broken himself-certain that he has
conquered his ASSIGNS, his haste and his
disposition to drive things Be certain
that you can keep quiet, and in good hu-
NOR. By kindness engage the colts con-
tldence, and be careful never to forfeit
that confidence. Colts are sometimes ig-
norant and headstrong. Kindly teach
what you want them to do. And in view
OF the fact that you cannot tell them how
to act, repeatedly show them. And If
they cannot understand you as soon as
you think they should, recollect their
position, and at the same time remem-
Der the faithful services of the horse
when once carefully educated to work.
The earlier colt is handled the better.
All animals learn lessons when young
better than when older A fractions
man will make fractions horse. Pound
ing and severe whipping are useless
and cruel, and should not be al
lowed. When horse has been right
ly broken, and knows his duty
and obstinately refuses to obey, the moral
suasion in the shape of an old Pennsylva-
nian wagoner's whip may come in its
place. But never use it on the colt Nor
should the colt once know that he is
stronger than his master, or anyone that
handles him. And it is one of the follies
to put poor halter on colt. Let him
break a few poor halters and good ones
will never hold him in after life. Impress
upon the colt that you are his friend and
not his enemy. Talking to and petting a
colt makes him more intelligent, and as a
consequence more useful.
In breaking do it by degrees. Teach
him to lead, then put on part of the har-
ness and lead him about, then with all the
harness on lead him alongside of horses
which are hitched to wagon, and soon he
understands the whole operation. There
is nothing in the Rarey system of break
ing horses but kindness, firmness and a
full comprehension of the nature and dis
position Of the horse. But, we repeat,
never attempt to break colt until you
break yourself Of rashness and the exhi-
bition Of passion.--Io,oa State Register.

An Encounter With a Wildcat.

A NEVADA paper relates the following:
civilian Lyell, rancher living near
Huffaker's, in Washoe County, had con-
siderable of tussle with wildcat Satur-
day morning. He was out hunting with
a couple of dogs; when near the lower
end of his ranch the dogs scared up cat,
which, being pressed hard, turned and
stood sullenly at bay One of the dogs, a
shepherd, bounced into it at once, which
action the 'varmint' was waiting for, as
she soon had him down and was biting
him savagely. The other dog, attacking
it from the rear, managed to put the cat
on the defensive. At this juncture the
animal managed to disengage herself and
made rush for Mr.. Lyell, who had been
unable to get a shot in for fear of killing
his dogs He received her with the butt
end of his gun, breaking it over her; bnt
she, nothing daunted, evinced such a
strong determination to force the battle
that he was glad to leave the gun-barrels
in her possession. Rallying his dogs TOR
another onset, and grasping the stock OF
the gun, his sole weapon, he boldly ad-
vanced to where the cat stood, with cleaning
eyes, seemingly emitting flashes OF hre'
her tail waving impatiently in the air, az
if i'll defiance to him. Quick as nasn
the feline sprang at our hero, who, WIN
intrepid courage, calmly awaited the com,
ing event and met her with well-direcied
blow from his gun-barrel, which he haa
managed to regain, leaving her dead at
his feet. The cat on being taken to the
ranch was found to weigh thirty-three
pounds and measured three feet fouf
inches from tip to tip"

The DutclInnn's Insurance.

Both policies had been taken from tht

In few months after the stable was in
surcd, it was destroyed by fire.
Schmidt quietly notified the agent, ant
limited to him that lc would expect tho
$9OO Mt the earliest possible moment

found that the property had been insured
for more than it was worth.

lie was asked to estimate the cost Of Il
brick stable, and reported the amount ut
$3.50
The agent then notified Schmidt that
he would build him n new brick stable in
place Of the old frame one, but Schmidt
became very indignant at the proposition,
saying: -.

The agent reasoned with Schmidt, but
all to no purpose.
When the stable was about finished
Schmidt went to consult lawyer, think
ing that hc could still get the amount of
the policy, besides having the new stable.
The lawyer, however, informed him
that the company had the right to make
good the loss by building new stable.
and expressed surprise at his bringing suit
against thcIa.
"But," said Schmidt, "I inshurc for
nine hundred tollar, und dis fcIIar put
dem shtnblc up for seven hundred und
fifty. tOnt understand dis insurance

Finding that he could not compel the
payment by law, he became disgustcd
with the insurance business altogether.
Calling upon the agent, Schmidt said ::
"Mr. Agent, want you to shtop dat in

"Why, Mr.. Schmidt" said the agent,
much surprised, "yuu are doing very

your wife should die YOU would ret five

"Yaw, dat is vat you told me now,'
said Schmidt. "Ycn pays you on my
