Snoring.

DR.. John Wyeth is entitled to the
gratitude of all who are afflicted with
the habit of snoring for the simple de-
vice he has contrived to counterfeit the
vile tendency. The apparatus is de-
scribed by him in the Popular Science
Monthly, and an explanation is at the
same time,given of the cause of snor-
ing. In the act of breathing, the air
may travel to and from the lungs
through the channels of the mouth or
the nose. Both channels unite in a
common cavity just below the soft pal
ate, which is attached by one end to
the hard palate or bone forming the
roof of the mouth and the floor Of the
nose. The other end of the soft palate
hangs loose, and is moved by the cur
rents of air passing in and out of the
lungs, as window-curtain is tapped
by a breeze. If the air passes through
the nose alone, the end Of the palate is
pressed gently down upon the tongue
so as to lessen the movement or vibra-
ton, and no sound is heard. But, if
the mouth as well as the nose be open,
SO that two currents of air pass in and
out together during the acts of breath
ing, the soft palate is thrown into rapid
and sonorous vibration, and what we
call snoring is the result.
1t follows that the remedy for snor-
ing is to keep the mouth shut, and adj
NIT air to the lungs only through the
channel of the nose. This can be eff
fectcd by means of a simple cap fitting
the head snugly, and united by an elias
tic band, near the ear on each side, to
cap of soft material fitting the chin.

If as much pains were taken IN de-
veloping and breeding for increased
speed at the walking gait as Is now
taken in breeding for trotting, we:
should soon have very many horses that
could walk five miles per hour; and
horses that could walk mile on the
road in ten minutes, or six miles per
hour, would be as often met with as
trotters that can go ten miles per hour
for any considerable length of time.
We are anxious that this matter
should receive the attention of our ag-
ricultural societies, and that liberal
purses should be given at our annual
fairs for contests Of speed at this most
useful gait. These walking races would
be almost, if not quite, as attractive q
feature, and would g draw" nearly as
well, as trotting or running races, if the
purses were equally as large. 1t is the
close contest for large prize that gives
to races their chief attraction, and there
may be quite as close and exciting .
contest in walking race for 81 ZOO
prize as in trotting or running; while
the effect which the awarding of large
prizes for such races would have upon
the common stock Of our country would
most certainly be highly beneficial

Wood Fires.

We grant, as has recently been said.
that an open fire is incompetent to
heat our houses;'' but we believe it can
be made such an important factor in
the culture of children, that we have no
hesitation in urging others to try it. In
houses that are wholly warmed by fur
mace, the family circle is likely to be-
come impaired. The children take
their friends to their own rooms, and
the mother rarely becomes intimately
acquainted with their associates.
Around wood fire, all naturally come
together; what interests one comes in a
little while to interest all, and the chill
dren learn to be open and free. The
fire warns the heart as well as the
body. A wood fire lit early in the
evening when the children are home
from school is all that is necessary.
When the boys get used to coming in
from the cold and snow to find cheer
full hickory fire blazing on the parlor
hearth, with the room not too nicely
furnished for them to use, they will not
want to leave it for any outside attrac-
tions. The moment the familiar whistle
is heard in the evening, let some kind
ling wood be thrust under the logs.
The pleasant sensation. produced by a
blazing fire, if repeated every day,
winter after winter, amounts to a great
deal of happiness in a boys lifetime,
and will never be forgotten. 1t is diff
cult to overestimate the value of this
central gathering place for the whole
family. Wood fires are not dusty, and
when used not for heat, but for cheer.
and only in the evening, are not costly.
The moderate heat of furnace or stove
is sufficient for the parlor by day, and
but little wood in the fireplace is nee
essary to make it comfortable at night.
Indeed, the register often has to be
turned off and the doors have to be
closed to keep the heat of the house
from rushing into the parlor. The
wood fire ventilates, and thus, not only
are the feet kept warm, but the head
remains cool. Half cord of hickory
wood lasts us about month. and we use
it on Sundays after church, and on
other days if we have friends to dinner,
or the children are to be at home. In
spring and fall an open fireplace is par
ticularly useful. Everyone knows how
the furnace is disliked in moderate
weather, but by using at such times the
wood alone, the desired heat is OBJ
tanned and far more than the cost saved
in the coal that would be burned to
waste. If the fireplace is painted black,
there will be a good background for the
red flame, and the brickwork will not
be made to look shabby by the smoke
Let it be good hearty blazing fire or
none at all. Better to save in fine fur
niture, or in rich desserts, than put on
logs sparingly. Brass andirons are the
best, for they never wear out, and the
labor in keeping them bright is much
exaggerated The wood should be
sawed in but two pieces, SO as to reach
clear over both andirons. A lot of
corn-cobs will make a hot, quick blaze,
just before the children go up to bed,
and will make their slumber all the

Read the Bible.

MANY IL young Christian convert has
been discouraged by the fact that they are
obliged to read the Book of all books as a
duty, rather than as a pleasure. The
young soldier of the Cross often finds diff
ficulties in the way when comparing his
experience with those longer in the ser
vice. Young Christians may often receive
strength and encouragement from compar-
ing their experiences one with another.
Blu. all cannot see or feel alike on relig-
ious, more than upon secular, subjects.
We shall do well to remember that duties
of the present hour may, in the future, be-
come pleasures. Many who in early life
have studied the Bibls as a duty, when
they would rather engage in other pursuits,
have in later life derived far greater salts.
factien from reading the Scriptures than
from almost any other source.
Young friend, never neglect your Bible
because you do not enjoy reading it as you
desire, but search the Scriptures diligent-
ly, if it need be as a duty, and the time
will come that you will long for the COM
fort and Joy that nothing else can afford,
like reading over AMI over the same prom
Uses and Scripture comforts that no other
book or human agency can produce.

discourse, Sunday evening, Sept Q, that
he had read the Bible through, by course,
over one hundred times. He recommend
ed young Christians to read the Old and
New Testaments by course, constantly al
ternating the one with the other, that is,
to read a portion of the Old, and then of
the New, giving his reasons for this meth
cd. His experience and advice is certain
~ valuable to the young who desire to at
tain much in the Christian life. Mr..

Farm LabOrers.

Looking back to the farm laborers
in days of yore, when changing about
was equally avoided by master and
man, it puzzles the mind to think what
motive any employer can have in these
days for preferring transient to perma-
nent labor. Yet this preference gener-
ally exists in the United States, and not
only do some of the would-be leaders
in agricultural matters boast of keep
ing their men ignorant of their next
job and their movements for the NOR
row, but they are foolish enough to be-
lieve that general feeling of uncer-
tainty as to continuance of employ
ment is good policy. The writer, how
ever, thinks such course extremely
unwise, for it necessitates the eye of
the master on every motion of his men,
as this insecurity makes them careless;
and not only do they feel Indifferent
about the well-being of the employers
property, but some dispositions will al
low the dislike of such treatment to
draw them on to utterly hate such a
master.
Again, many conceited agricultural
manager, priding himself on his talent
in this respect, will suffer the loss of
valuable animals and injury to other
property which, if all things were
known, would be found to be the result
of his employees detestation for the low
estimation in which they are held. He
thinks or knows he is right in his con-
viction that all these pretended fine
managers of men had best be upright

Walking Horses.

Everybody comedies that there is no
gait which SO greatly adds to the actual
value of the horse as fast walk, and
yet it is notorious that there is no gait
SO little cultivated. Even our agricult-
ural societies, that are supposed to es-
pecially foster the improvement of our
domestic animals in all useful qualities,
Professionally ignore this, the most valua-
BILE of all gaits in the horse. A prem
ium for the fastest walking horse is
very rarely offered, and when there is
any such thing, the amount is SO in
significant as to attract no attention;
while hundreds, and in many cases
thousands, of dollars are offered for
trials of speed at the faster but much
less useful gaits.
This is not as it should be. We have
racing associations all over the country,
which offer enormous purses for trot-
ting and running, thus furnishing
abundant stimulus for improvement in
that direction, and it is the especial
provision of our agricultural societies
to stimulate improvement in the horse
that is really the most valuable for
agricultural purposes, and in that gait
which is best adapted to the use to
which he is put. The walk is the gait
which the horse must assume when
drawing the plow, the harrow, the
reaping machine, or when per-
forming . long journey on the
road; and here the. superiority of
q pair of fast walkers over those
Of : moping, ox-like gait, is apparent.
A horse that can walk of on the road at
the rate Of five miles an hour, and at a
correspondingly rapid gait when har-
messed to the pillow or harrow, is .
treasure to the farmer; and yet such
horses are more rare than 2:30 trotters.
There is no reason why this should be
be the case. The trouble is not so much
from lack Of capscity for fast walking,
in most Of our horses, - it is from 4
failure to cultivate that gait. The rage

is SO brittle that on my admiring
basket, and wishing in my ignorance
to buy one, the Superintendent, with a
smile Of superiority, put it into my
hands, where it crnmbled to bits inn
mediately. The only part Of the mani
ufacture they would not explain thor
oughly was the glazing tub. into which
everything is dipped and our German
friend said that some improvement in
this glaze or enamel is thought to be
secret.
When the glaze is hard, the china is
taken to the various painting-rooms;
and, as most people in these days know,
the colors then are but dingy and often
false to their after-appearance, the
gold, which is q dull dark-brown on
going into the oven, comes out looking
much the same, and the china is then
taken to the furnishing room, where a
great many women and girls sit with
agate tools Of various shapes, and quick
friction turns this dark and dusky
brown to gold that glitters. In the
room devoted to the finest painting, we
were introduced to an old Frenchman
with two pairs of spectacles on. He
was celebrated for his child figures,
and was painting groups in the centers
of set Of dessert-plates, ordered by
one of the imperial family, of Prussia.
Children guiltless of clothes were swim
ming, bathing, making flower wreaths,
riding goats, catching butterflies, etc.
Each group was different. and the
grace and beauty of the figures were
perfectly wonderful. He had painted
there for years, but had never learned
German; he had never tried, he said,
with little shrug. He also told us he
seldom painted flowers. ANYONE can
do that he said, with q fine sense of
his own unrivaled talent; but, looking
at the flowers, we could not agree with
him. 1t is not given to anyone to
paint such flowers. The blue and
white china, called, par excellence,
g Nielsen china is Of course made
here. The difference between it and
Dresden china consists in its being
painted in cobalt before it is glazed,
and it is not baked SO often. Beside
the reproduction of beautiful old shapes
in the finest clay. this Nielsen china is
made more coarsely and strongly in
commoner shapes, when it is much
cheaper and very strong. 1t is also
hand-painted, but is very quickly done
by means of perforated paper laid
over plate or cup, when powdered CO.
bait is shaken over it out of thing ex-
actly like small pepper-box. This
leaves the pattern marked, and lads,
with a fine brush and little water
stipple in the color. 1t is then baked
and glazed. Some of the old shapes
with perforated edges were very beau
tiful. When the china is examined by
the Superintendent, and he considers it
perfect, he aflixes on every piece the
well-known cross-words before the last
baking. Every bit with the slightest
imperfection in pattern, shape, OF
transparency, is marked imperfect and
sold for less than half-price, either Ut
the mandatory, or, more frequently
at small shop in Dresden, near the
Frauen Kirche, which goes by the name
of the rejected shop" This mari. oi
imperfection is simply small white
line drawn through the crossed swords.
