A Horses Stomach.

A horse requires food in much more
concentrated form than neat cattle and
sheep. Hence, if the meal that is designed
to be fed to horse at one time be mingled
with bushel of cut straw, the animal will
not be able to manage 80 much bulk in order
to obtain the desired nourishment. Some
writer who has examined critically the stom-
ach of horse states that the stomach of a
horse of medium size has capacity of only
about sixteen quarts, while that Of an OK
has two hundred and fifty. In the intes-
tines this proportion is reversed, the horse
having capacity of one hundred and ninety
quarts against one hundred of the OK. The
OK and other animals have gall bladder for
the retention of part of the bile secreted
in the intervals of digestion; the horse has
none, and the bile flows directly into the in
testine as fast as secreted. This construction
of the digestive apparatus indicates that the
horse was formed to eat slowly and digest
continually, bulky and innutritious food.
When fed on hay, it passes very rapily
through the stomach into the intestine. The
horse can eat but about FIVE pounds Of hay
in an hour, which is charged during masti-
cation with four times it's weight of saliva.
Now the stomach, to digest well, will contain
but about ten quarts, and when the animal
eats one-third of his daily rations, or seven
pounds in one and one-half hours, he has
swallowed at least two stomachs full Of hay
and saliva, one of these having passed into
the intestine. Observation has shown that
the food is passed to the intestine by the
stomach in the order in which it is received.
If we feed horse six quarts of oats, it will
lust about fill his stomach; and if, as soon
as he finishes this, We feed him the above
rations of seven pounds of hay, he will eat
sufficient in three. quarters of an hour to
have forced the oats entirely out of his
stomach into the intestine. AS it is the
Office of the stomach to digest the nitroge.
nous parts of the food, and as stomach full
of oats contains four or FIVE times as much
of these as the same amount of hay, it is
certain that either the stomach must secrete
the gastric juices five times as fast, which is
barely possible, or it must retain this food
five times as long. By feeding the oats first
it can only be retained long enough for the
proper digestion of hay, consequently it
seems logical, when feeding concentrated
food like oats with bulky one like hay, to
feed the latter first.

man look upon it, when he thinks the social
glass is harmless.
4, The drunkard is in most perilous po-
sition, from which he may fall at any mo-
ment, as the foolish sleeper from the mast
head.
5. If man may be known by the COM
pany he keeps, this vice may be known by
the company it keeps in the scriptures, and
in the daily practice of drinking men. 1t is
often associated, as in this passage with lewd-
ness, and in Galatians vi: 1921, with list
of degrading vices.
G. The slavery to which the habitual use
of intoxicating liquors reduces any one, is
fearfully CALLING. The victim sees his woe
and degradation, knows it is the fruit of this
habit, and yet goes forward as one bound
and led captive by the devil at his will.
7. The Scriptures do not forbid the use OF
wine as medicine, nor as beverage under
certain circumstances, for our Saviour made
it and used it, nor is total abstinence en-
joined as an abstract principle, or unvarying
rule of life, and yet we have but little liberty
left US in the use of Intoxicating drinks. For
no one who can be tempted by tits to look up
on the cup; no one may put the bottle to nil
neighbours lips; no one may in this partieu
lar put stumbling block or an occasion tt
fall in his brothers way; no one, if wine
make his brother to offend, may drink wine
while the world stands. If these perils b
avoided there will be but little using Of strong
drink.

Blue Bells of Scotland.

How long has that bell been ringing It's
fragrant music, and swinging forth its un'
heard melodies among brackens and brlers,
and primroses and woodroof, and that world
of poetic wild scents and forms-so many
80 beautiful-which tangled bank over
trotting burn among the leafy wood dis
closes? Spirits more beautiful than fairies
behold these scenes, or they would be waste.
That bell was ringing merrily when Adam
and Eve were married. 1t chimed its dirge
over Abel, and has died and sprung up again
while Nineveh and Babylon have come and
gone, and empires have lived and died forev-
err Solomon, in all his glory, was not like
these.
. What an evidence have 1 in this blue
dropping flower of the regularity and endu-
rance of Gods will since creations dawn !
Amidst all the revolutions of heaven and
earth; hurricanes and earthquakes; floods and
fires invasions and dispersions; signs in
the sun, moon, and stars; perplexity and
distress of nations; nothing has happened to
iniure this fragile blue-bell. This is the
central peace subsisting at the heart of
endless agitation"
The blue-bell swung in breezes tempered
to it's strength centuries before the children
Of Japheth spied the chalky cliffs of Dover.
1t has been called by many name from the
days of the painted warrior to the days Of
Burns; but it has ever been the same. 1t
will sing on with its spirit song until time
shall be no more. The blue-bell may sing
the funeral knell of the human race.-NOr.

Poor GIRLs.-The poorest girls in the
world are those who have never been taught
to work. There are thousands of them
Rich parents have petted them; they have
been taught to despiae labor, and depend
upon others for living, and are perfectly
helpless. If misfortune comes upon their
friends. as it often does, their case is hope
less. The most forlorn and miserable wo-
man on earth belongs to this class. 1t be-
longs to parents to protect their daughters
from this deplorable condition. They do
them great wrong if they neglectit. Every
daughter should be taught to earn her own
living The rich as we'll as the poor require
this training. The wheel of fortune rolls
swiftly round-the rich are very likely to
become poor. and the poor rich. Skilled to
labor is no disadvantage to the rich, and is
indispensable to the poor. Well-tO-do parents
must educate their daughters to work no
reform is more imperative than this.

moral miracle upon him during the years in
which he had been its lonely tenant.
The Peniteniary in which he underwent
his imprisonment was on the cellular plan.
I am not partisan of that system, but |
think it no more than fair to say that this
man attributed his reformation, under God,
to the fact that he was confned in sepa
rate cell, and that he is strong supporter
of that system. E. G. WINES.

In the above transcript, have, in few
instances, substituted blanks for the names
written out in the original, because | have
judged it not prudent under the circumstan
ces to fetrsy either the name or the country
of the writer without his authority, while
have felt that the facts stated in the letter
of my correspondent and to be stated in this
communication, are so striking, so instruc
tive, and withal so encouraging, in more than
one direction, to those who are working fol
tbs redemption of the race from ignorance
aid sin, that they ought not to be withheld
from the public.
In one of the capitals of Continental Eu-
rope there is a Penitentiary, at the head OF
which is 8 gentleman who in the administra-
ton of his trust has but one thought, one
wish, one aim-thst of changing, by the
blessing and the help of God, bad men into
good ones To this work, with sleepless
and unsel6sh activity, he devotes his whole
study and effort. In the same city, some
thirty five to forty years ago, child was
born who had the misfortune to have pro-
fessional thief for his father. Thus he grew
up with thieviDg for his trade. More than
once he had been sentenced to the Peniten
tiary for short terms; terms too short to do
him any good, but quite long enough to do
him great deal Of harm. At length, going
from bad to worse, he committed graVer
larceny, and was condemned to term of
several years. Having before failed utterly
with this young man for want of the requi-
site time to bring refOrmatOry processes to
bear upon him with effect, the director of the
prison, receiving him anew, and for long
time, said to himself, " Now is my OppOr-
tunity;" and he at once set about the work
with will, and continued it with noble stead

EBENEzBR STATION, SANTHAL NILSSON,
RAMPoRE HAUT, INDIA,
18th June, 1876
"Dear Sir j.: The fact of your being, as
learn from Director -, great friend OF
prisoners, and of my having been convict,
will, trust, be an acceptable apology for my
intrusion. 1t will be satisfaction to you, l
know, TO learr that of the many who, having
lost their moral equilibrium, have infringed
upon the rights of others, | am one of those
who have been reclaimed to society through
the institutions to which you have devoted
your whole life; and it will be matter of
still greater qualification to you when l tell
you that not only have l enlisted on what
may be termed the negative or preventive
side of your work, but also have succeeded
very largely. My colleague, Mr.. =, and
myself have been laboring among the hill
tribe, the Santhals, for eight years, without
society and without any guaranteed subsis-
tence whatever; and we have now Chris
tian population of more Than six thousand IN
number, and some twenty-one hundred COM
municants, whereas when we came here into
the forest the word of God had not even been
heard, and still less was there single Chris
tan. Our churches, thirty in number, have
native teachers, and the principle of our mis-
sion is self-supporting Christians, who spread
the gospel of their own accord. By study
ing the traditions of the people we have been
enabled to show them that there is nothing
in Christianity which would violate those
traditions. Hence they have agreed to
leave Christians in all their social privileges.
Hence, also, there is no accommodation
here FLOR embracing Christianity and this
sociai equality has so opened the door that
the whole country is we'll disposed toward
Christianity; in fact to such an extent that
the christianization of the SanthalS will be
only a matter of time. We have more than
forty schools, beside two training schools,
aud we hope next year to build college
for training pastors. Mr.. -, my col
league, has started for Europe to collect
funds for the mission, and he will probably
visit America too.
"Our mission operation differs very much
from that of any missionary society, but It
would he impossible to give you an adequate
idea of it in a short letter like this.
& have often been thinking of writing
the subjective experimental side of prison
life, as only reclaimed convict can do that;
but l have not as yet got time to do so. A
book for prisoners have promised Director
- in the - language, and hope soon
to be able to fulfil my promise. Should there
be any points on which could enlighten you
with regard to the subjective side of prison
life should of course be glad to serve you.
CT am, dear sir, yours faithfully,

Some Good Hints.

A correspondent OF the Germantown Tsle
qraph offers the following hints: 1t does moi
pay to reset thin wheel tires. The CHIEF
strength of the wheel lies in the rim. There
is real economy in soaking the felloes Of bu'
siness wagon wheels with raw linseed oil; il
will preserve the wood and save the necessity
of frequent e.setting, an operation to be
avoided. When you buy new fork or hoe,
good farming requires that you oil the
handle. 1t costs but a trife, and your tool
looks better and will wear longer. Good
harness kept soft with neatsfoot oil is a
credit to the owner and comfort to the
animal that wears it. Soft harness is
stronger than dry, hard one. 1t is slightly
elastic, and bends without breaking.
COOP YEAsT.-Boil II good sized Irish
potatoes in l gallon of water, with small
handful of hops-when the potatoes are done,
mash them very fine, and pour the hop tea
on them-when milk-warm put in cup of
good yeast, of sugar, and l of salt. Let
rise and you will have superior yeast, that
never sours and rises bread beautifully.

AHandsome Ornament

one Of the haudsomest and most artistic
articles at our fair last week was win
ter boquet, composed of prairie grasses,
and such other articles as could be had in
our wooded land. 1t attracted almost
universal attention and admiration. 1t
was made by Mrs. Henry L. Keys, and
shows her to be lady of exquisite Ia ste.
Judge OF our surprise when, at the close
of the fair, Henry and his good wife, An
ME, came In with this magni feent boquet.
some five feet in height, with q tortoise
shell bottom, and said it was for the edit
ors of THE NEWS, aud was intended as
an acknowledgement of what the paper
had done in aid Of the fair. We wanted
to make u speech, but the caste IN tram
had just arrived. Mrs. X. will take the
good will for the deed. We are proud o.
the boquet, because of its surprising
beauty and richness, and because it eX
presses an appreciation of our humble eff.
forts IN behalf of public enterprise.
Such recognition is better than dollars
