THE digestion of a horse is governed
by the same laws as that Of man, and
as we know that it i not best for man
TO 90 at hard work the moment a hearty
that horse should have a little rest
after his meal, while the stomach is
most active in the process of digestion.
Many a good horse has been ruined by
injudicious haste in working him with
a iull stomach.

A Sea Slug that Restores Youth.

London Telegraph, Dec. Is
Rachel Leyison, otherwise Nine
Rachel, is, it may be assumed, too
much absorbed in the interesting oc-
cupation of pickig oakum, making
coirmats, or wringing out clothes in
the prison laundry, to devote her at
tention to her once favorite pursuit of
making ladies beautiful forever. -
Indeed, were she so inclined to revert
to her favorite study, the governor of
the establishment in which the ven
cradle matron is spending her period
of seclusion from 'the m~addening
crowd might perhaps object to her
experimentalizing on the comtenances
of her fellow-detenues, or on those of
the female warders. Still, there are
plenty of lady Cagliostros at large. and
these occult dealers in elixirs and
cosmetics will learn with much inte-
rest that there exists a simple and
etlcacl0us nostrum possessing the
specific property of making aged peo-
pie not only look young, but of posi-
lively endowing them with renewed
youth, as the tabled Fontaine de
Jouvence was said to do. The mar
velous specific is the large sea slug
known as beche dc mer, a mollusc
about the size of a cucumber, which
is fished for in very deep water among
the rocks off some islands in the Pa
ci6c. The extraordinary virtues of
this slug were mentioned a few days
since in a trial at law, by Mr.. Wills.
Q. C., who incidentally and humOr-
ously observed that beche de mer was
highly priced in China, not only
as a delicacy for the table, but
for its rejuvenescent properties. lie
had seen it personally. said Mr.. Wills.
but his friend, Mr.. Hill, had
tasted it, and that might account for
the fact that, although Mr.. Hill was
his senior at the bar, he looked so
much younger a man than he (Mr.
Wills did. This, as bar humor goes.
may be held as a very good joke; but
the question before us is how to sup
ply the London markets with sea Tugs
capable of making old people young.
If a cargo of beche de mer could only
be landed at the London docks, bas-
kets of the youth-giving edible should
at once be forwarded to all the aged
celebrities of the day, and all the old
ladies who were once famous beauties.
We should have all our dear old act
ors, dancers, painters, authors, back
in their prime. 1t would be, perhaps.
inexpedient to send any beche de mer
to the judges Of England-judges like
port wine, improve with age-but a
few sea slugs might be advantageously
presented to the Episcopal bench. Ii
may. in conclusion, just be limited that
snail soup is a very old-fashioned
English remedy for consumption. and
that the supernatural qualities as
cribed to sea slugs in China may be
only an imaginative exaggeration of
the supposed efficacy Of beche de mer
In pulmonary complaints.

Burned 10 Death.

An old colored woman named Sarah
Grant, between ninety and a hundred
years of age, perhaps the oldest person
in this community, met with a horri-
bic death about sunrise, at a house in
Chelsea, on the corner Of Sixth and
Keel streets. She was supposed to
have been in the act of kindling a FIRE,
when her clothes accidentally ignited.
She screamed loudly, and tue neigh
bors rushed into the house, too late to
be of service, tho fire having euyel-
oped her body, literally roasting her
alive and causing death in a few min
utes. The old woman's husband died
during the late fever, at the age Of
102 years. Esquire Agnew held an
inquest upon Mrs. Grants remains, a
verdict being rendered in accordance
with tho foregoing.

ffalfle f0rner.I
How few farmers keep correct ac-
counts, by which at the end Of the
year the debt and credit condition of
the farm may be accurately shown.
Yet this il fully as necessary to the
farm as it is in any other class of bust
ness. Why should not the husband
man know at the beginning of the
year just how much money value is
contained in his land, buildings,
fences, stock, implements and crops ?
One day work will easily accomplish
this, and, at the same time, impress
upon the farmers mind Just what is
to be done toward keeping all intact.
Then by carefully noting in a memo
randum book each item that has cost
money, and each article sold for
money, they may be quickly trans
ferred at stated times to a book where
the record will be aggregated, and
where it will remain intact. Soon,
under a system like this, the farmer
will want to know what each crop,
and perhaps what separate items of
each crop costs. This again may be
easily found. 1t will lead to a more
intelligent system of farming in every
way.
1t has been often and most truly
stated hat the business man who docs
not keep correct accounts will be
swampcd in a year. 1t is true that
our most successful farmers arc those
who keep a strict and intelligent ac-
count of their daily and yearly work.
The only reason why those farmers
who do not keep accounts do not
more quickly succumb and become
utterly bankrupt, is that nature has
given them a neye~r-failing bank-the
soil-to draw on and that bank never
fails to respond somehow. If the
farmer takes more from the soil. year
by year, than is put back. or than ma.
ture can put back for him, the end
must be bankruptcy. If am intelli.
gent system of accounts were kept the
farmer would know Just how the debit
and credit stood even in this direction.
