A GooD HoRsE.--"Wind," says an old
horseman,' is the grand secret Of fast
horse, Good lungs will cover a multi
tude of faults; while on the other hand,
perfection of shape and form are useless
when the wind is out. The chest, there
fore, in all cases, should be large and cap.
acioUs. In shape it may vary some what,
according to the service to which the
horse is to be put If he is apt to be
kept for slow work and heavy drawing,
the chest may be nearly circular in form,
because this shape is one of strength and
bulk, to receive and bear up against the
pressure Of the collar, while, at the same
time, sufficient room is secured for that
expansion of the lungs caused by slow,
regular work. But if the chest is circu-
lar, let it be at the same time deep, or
else the lungs may be cramped. A horse
with a shallow chest is worthless for any
purpose. The rule then is this: For a
draught horse, a circular but deep chest
but, as you pass through the different de-
grees Of speed up to the racer and trottcr,
the chest will increase in depth, compar-
ed to its roundness, until, for the highest
race of speed, you must take chest as
deep As a greyhound, and at the same
time not lacking in strength ~ Prairie

Sure st Tranquilizer of the Nerves

The surest tranquilizer of the nerves is a
medicine which remedies their supersensi.
tiveness by yinvigorating them. Over-tension
OF the nerves always weakcns them. What
they need, then, is a tonic, not sedatiye,
The latter is only useful when there is in
tense mental excitement and an immediate
necessity exists for producing quietude OF
the brain. Hostetters Stomach Bitters re.
stores tranquility of the nerves by endOwing
them with the vigor requisite to bear, with.
out being Jared or disturbed unhealthrully,
the ordinary impressions produced through
the media of sight, hearing and reflection
Nay, it does more than this,-it enables them
to sustain a degree Of tension from mental
application which they would be totally un-
able to endure without its assistance. Such
at least is the irresistible conclusion to be
drawn from the testimony of business and
professional men, litterateurs, clcrsymen
and Others who have tested the fortifying and
rcparative influence Of this celebrated tonic
and nervine.

HOUSES TWELVE STORIES H1GH,-In the
West End OF LOndon, in nei. ..hborhood
known rs Queen Auncs gate, banker
named iIankey has built some enormous
"manSions" overlooking st. James park,
and not far from the Metropolitan rail
way station by that name. The houses
are the highest in England twelve sto-
ries-perhaps the highest in the world.
They are let in flats, upon new associ-
ated principle; And Mr., Hankey has
chOscu for his own apartments the high
est story, where he commands the purest
air, with views of the parks, Surry hills,
and northern heights. The suits of
apartments are so eagerly sought after by
those who wish to avoid the cares of
housekeeping that Mr.. Hankey is build
ing a second block Of buildings twelve
stories high. The tenants are chiefly
bachelors, whose suites contain a bed
room and Sitting-room but there arc
also family suites of ten rooms. Eleva-
tors, of course, travel to each story, and
electric bells and speaking-tubes are in
each room. There is "wine-celar" for
each tenant; the male-servants are in liy-
cries; the females wear neat and uni
form dress; aud one quarterly payment
covers the expense Of SERVANTS, taxes, gas,
water, and indeed every item Of house
keeping, even down to the insurance of
furniture.

United States Treasury.

The end of the fiscal year for the L.
s, Treasury makes n comparison with
a wear ago interesting. The public
debt was reduced during the year S24,-
Al l3Ql, against $50, PSI ,l2l during the
fiscal wear ending July /, 1877. The
coin balance of the Treasury Sl97 ,4l5,-
13l against $115, l22,743 then, or, less
coin certificates issued to the owners of
coin lett for safe keeping with the
Treasury, S151, $50, ,532, against S73,.
5l0.s73 on July l, 1871 The legal
tender note circulation was S346, 6Sl ,OlG
(which. in view Of recent legislation
must he excepted as the minimum for
The future) against $3.50, 7G4 1892, year
before. The fractional currency was
reduced during the year from $50 4O3,-
1877 to SIC, ,547 ,7G0, and the silver coin
outstanding was increased from $685.
0SS. .Sl3 to 500 ,057 ,0S3. The special
legal-tender note fund for the redemp-
ton of fractional currency, was filed
ND from $7,963,213 to $4,000, 900.
While the changes are for the most part
satisfactory, they are not nearly so
favorable as they might have been, or
would have been except for the PERM
cious effect of the silver agitation on
our credit, as shown by the return of
bonds from Europe-a movement which
was ct hood-tide early in April. The
foreign trade of the country for the first
eleven months OF the fiscal year was
favorable in marvellous degree for the
Improvement Of the Treasury finances.
The exports of domestic merchandise
amounted to S647, ,94S, 900, while the i'm.
ports OF foreign goods were valued at
S4O1, 40, 900, leaving an excess of S245,-
52S 900; the excess for the correspond
ing time in the preceding fiscal year fur
nished the Treasury with an opportu-
nifty for putting the currency on gold
basis such as seldom comes even in the
lifetime Of a nation. AS it was, it pre-
vented the country from being we'll
nigh ruined by the laundering course
OF legislation on silver, and permitted
the improvements noted.

correspondent in the first mention OF Arch
bishop Purcells financial troubles. tho congre-
cations Of tho diocese have beon called upon TO
aid him with contributions. To-day, in the
cathedral and other Catholic churches. tho
tho officiating clergy announced To their con-
grcgations that the Archbishop Was in financial
trouble. and unable to meet the demands made
upon him by depositors and that subscriptions

urged all commandments TO contribute accord
ing TO their ability. This was in accordance
with a plan agreed upon yesterday be-
tween the Archbishop and committec Of
the laity. who called upon MIN for that purpose.

the less wenlthy members. the officiating priest
stated tho condition of Affairs. and urged all to
subscribe according to thotr means even IL il
be but single dollar. At the 10 O'Clock mass a
similar announcement WAS made and inrcer
subscriptions asked. as the congregation gath
cred at that hour was Of the wealtnier class Of
communicants. The prospects are that graded
subscription lists will be presented-popular
