Broad Chested Horses.

Wind" says an old horseman, "is
the grand secret of fast horse. Good
lungs will cover multitude of faults !;
while. on the other hand, perfection of
shape and form are useless when the
wind is out. The chest, therefore, in
all cases, should be large and capacious.
In shape it may vary somewhat, accord
ing to the service to which the horse is
to be put. If he is to be kept for slow
work and heavy drawing, the chest may
be nearly circular in form, because this
shape is one for 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 expan-
sion of the lungs caused by slow, regular
work. But if the chest is circular, 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 pur-
pose. The rule, then, is this For a
draught house, circular but deep chest;
but, as you pass through the different
degrees of speed, up to the racer and
trotter, the chest will increase in depth,
compared to its roundness, until, for the
highest rate of speed, You must take a
chest as deep as greyhound, and at the
same tune not lacking 10 strength"

Fashion Notes.

Large hoop earrings are again worn.
Alsatian bows are seen on the newest
imported bonnets.
Pale blue brocaded silks are used for
full-dress bonnets.
Cuckoo feathers, tipped with jet, are
handsome for round hats.
Shaggy beaver hats are most liked in
the Gainsborough shape.
Marble paper and envelopes are the
latest novelty in stationery.
Evening bonnets are all white with Il
border of white ostrich plumes.
Among new piece trimmings are stamp
ell velvet and tinsel galoons.
Embossed velvets are greatly used in
combination with silk OF satin.
Exquisite card.holders are in the shape
of a shell held by pretty little finger.
Point lace vests, with Louis XIII.

dress.
New collars and cuffs have colored
embroidery in pale tints, with scalloped
edge.
New handkerchiefs have the border in
large scallops, finished with small seal
lops in colors.
Favorite scarf-pins are made of two

Habit basques, shapedlike gentlemens,
frOck coats, are among the fresh impor
tations for ladies' wear.
Standing collars and narrow cuffs are

The fashionable petticoat OF the season
is perfectly fiat in front and ON the sides,
and with fulness behind not beginning
higher up than below the lower edge Of
the corset. 1t should only reach to the
knee, and the hounces are buttoned on
to it, more or less long according to the
dress to be worn. The fan shape at the
back must be maintained.

Some Busy Workers Underground.

tits not generally known to what extent
we are indebted to worms for the
productiveness of our gardens and
fields. 1t has been found, by series of
experiments carried out by German
naturalist, that the tunnels made by
worms into the earth are frequently of
much service to plants whose roots
occupy the channels that have thus been
made. The mold of our gardens, and
fields, too, is improved to an almost
inconceivable extent by the borrowings
of this humble insect. Each worm in
less than week passes through its
body its own weight in mold. and the soil
thus produced is fine and light, and ex-
tremely helpful to the growth OF plants.
When it is remembered that there are
in every acre some "a. 900 worms, aud
that in addition to forming every day
about thirty seven pounds of fine mold,
they open up the subsoil and render it
fertile, We shall gain some slight con-
ception of our Indebtedness to these
apparently insignificant and generally
uptAougbt-of little WORKERS,

A Cheap Smoke House.

Dig a narrow pit from twelve to
eighteen inches deep, throwing the
earth all out on one side. From near
the bottom of this pit dig trench sufficient
length to hold one or two joints of stove.
pipe, at such an angle as will bring
the end away from the pit to the sur
face of the ground. Over the end of this
pipe set common -four barrel or large
cask, as may be needed, and, having
removed both heads, bank up around it
with little earth SO that no smoke can
escape at the bottom. Hang the hams,
ect., it using some round sticks to run
through the strings. Putting cover on
the sticks will leave space enough for
draught to let the smoke pass freely.
Build smoke fire of corn cobs, damp
hard wood or saw dust, in the pit, and
you will have cheap, safe and efficient
smoke house, with very little trouble.

Curious Habits OF Grasshoppers.

Prof. Alfred Gray, secretary OF the
Kansas State board Of agriculture,
makes tile following interesting state
ment in reference to the habits Of grass
hoppers In mapping out the country
in Kansas and Missouri in which eggs
had been laid most thickly in 1876,
was struck with the fact that the very
counties in which the young insects had
been most numerous and disastrous IN
1876, were passed by or avoided, and
had no eggs of any consequence laid in
them in 1876. The fact was all the more
obvious, because the insects did much
damage to fall wheat, and laid eggs all
around those counties, to the north,
south, and west. From the exhaustive
report on the insect made By Prof. Allen
Whitman, it was also very obvious that
those portions of that State which had
been most thickly supplied with eggs in
1875, and most injured by the young
insects in 1876, were the freest from
eggs laid by the late swarms of the lat
ter year, nothwithstandih counties all
around them were thickly supplied.
/ was at first inclined to look upon
these facts assingular condolences only,
but instances have multiplied. A re-
Governor A Morris, of the Northwest
territory. You are we'll aware that in
1875 the locusts Matched out in immense
numbers, and utterly destroyed the
crops in the province of Manitoba.
Now, in 1876 they we're very numerous
over all the third prairie steppe of Brit.
sh America, and largely went to make
up the autumn swarms that came into
our country year ago. Governor Nor
ris started late in July of 1876 from Win
nepeg northwest to make treaty with
certain Indians, and during the first five
or six days of August he encountered
innumerable locust swarms all the way
from the forks of the two main trails to
Fort Ellice. The wind was blowing
strong from the west all the time-just
the very direction to carry the insects
straight over into Manitoba. The gov
ernor watched their movements with the
greatest anxiety, fearing that the pro-
vince would again be devastated as it
had been the previous year. Yet dur
ing all the time he was passing through
the immense swarms, they bore dog
gedly to the south and south east, either
tacking against the wind, or keeping to
the ground when unable to do 30.
Nothing was more remarkable than the
manner in which they persisted in refus-
ing to be carried into Manitoba. A few
were blown over, but did not alight, and
the province seemed miraculously de-
livered. Prof. Whitman tells me, again,
that in settling the present year the in
sects avoided those counties in Minneso-
ia in which they had Matched most num-
erously and done greatest injury, but
selected such as had not suffered for
some years past

The Man That Saved a City,

The inhabitants OF Neopolis, hearing
OF the approach of Timour, the Tartar,
prepared to defend themselves with
vigor, but Nasur counseled them to do
nothing of the sort, but to trust to him
alone, and his mediation with Timour.
The people were doubtful Of his success,
but they yielded. Before proceeding
to the camp of the besieger, Nasur. who
knew it was useless to approach the
great chief without a present, consid-
cred what gift was likely to be most ac-
ceptable. He resolved it should be
fruit, but he hesitated between figs and
ounces.
81 will consult with my wife," said
Nasur-ed-Deen, and he accordingly did
so.
The lady advised him to take ounces,
as the larger fruit.
every good" said Nasur "that be.
ing your opinion, will take figs"
When he reached the foot of the throne
of Tamerlane, he announced himself as
tn. ambassador from the beleaguered
citizens, and presented, as an offering
of their homage, his trumpery basket of
figs. The chief burst into rage, and
ordered them to be flung at the head of
the representative of the people of Jengi-
Scheher. The courtiers pelted him with
right good will and each time he was
struck. Nasur, who stood patient and
immovable, gently exclaimed
"Now, Allah be praised !" or, "Oh,
the Prophet be thanked /" or, "Oh,
admirable! how can I be sufficiently
grateful?" .s.I
"What dost thou mean, fellow?"
asked Timour "we pelt you with figs,
and you seem to enjoy it," sa-
"Ay, truly, great sir, " replied Nasur;
Il gratefully enjoy the consequence of
my OVID wit. My wife. counseled me to
bring ounces, but l chose to bring
figs and well that 1 did, for with figs
you have only bruised me, but had
brought ounces you would have beaten
my brains out.
The stern conqueror laughed aloud,
and declared that, for the sake of one
fool he would spare all the fools in the
city, male and female, them and their
property.
"Then," cried Nasur, I" the entire
population is safe r. and he ran home.
