\ CATAMARAN. 4 queer looking craft
came into the harbor Saturday from the
eastward. She was a catamaran, or
double keeled yacht. Take two long
narrow boats boarded over at the top 50
as to be air-tight, tasten them apart by
mailing some pieces Of stuff across firmly,
hoist mast and sail in the centre and
you have catamaran. This one was in
the shape Of paralelogram 40 feet long
by 20 feet wide. Two rudders, one at
the stern of each boat steered her. \
comfortable cabin was constructed in the
middle of the frame work. She was sloop
rugged and carried an immense spread of
sail. These craft can i'll no way capsize,
and are very swift. Portland Advertiser

the former, through age and defective
teeth, cannot chew them properly; the
young horse can do so, and they are
thus properly mixed with saliva and
turned into wholesome nutriment.
There are sundry condition powders
and tonics which are often fed to horses
and produce an increase of flesh, but
they must be kept up or the horse will
run down, and in the end they will do
an injury. Regular feeding, faithful
grooming, change of diet; salt always
accessible, exercise even if it be hard
work, with sufficient rest, pure water,
pure air in the stable, and comfort with
quiet, will cause almost any horse
properly fed to lay on flesh, if not to
become fat. A writer upon this sub
iect, who appears to be well posted,
says: ." Many good horses devour large
quantities Of grain and hay, and still
continue thin and poor The food
eaten is not properly assimilated. If
the usual food has been unground
grain and hay, nothing but change
will effect desirable alteration in the
appearance of the animal. In case oil
meal cannot be obtained readily, min
gle bushel of faxseed with bushel
of barley one of oats and another
bushel of Indian corn, and let it be
ground into fine meal. This will be q
fair proportion for all his feed. Or,
the meal OF barley, oats, and corn, in
equal quantities, may be first procured
and one-fourth part Of the oil cake
mingled with it when the meal is
sprinkled on cut feed. Feed two or
three times daily, mingled with peck
of cut hay and straw. If the horse will
eat that amount greedily, let the guam
tity be gradually increased until he
will eat four to six quarts at every
feeding three times day. So long as
the animal will eat this allowance, the
quantity may be increased little every
day. But avoid the practice of allow
ing horse to stand at a rack well
filled with hay. In order to fatten a
horse that has run down in flesh, the
groom should be very particular to feed
the animal no more than he will eat up
clean and lick the manger for more. -

never travels alone; if he is not accom-
panied by family, he takes so much
company with him that those who ex-
tend hospitable seines to receive him
take sometimes as many as thirty thou
sand fish at a single haul.
The cod is wonderfully prolific, de-
posting from three to sevenmillions Of
eggs at time. 1t not only prefers to
spawn in the winter months, but in the
coolest water it can find, and yet avoid
an icy coverlet; temperature of thir-
ty-two degs. is the favorite, while moth
ing above forty degs. is tolerated. The
largest spawning grounds OF the cod
are in the vicinity of the Loffoden
Islands, though the American members
of the family put up with such accom-
modations as they can find near home.
The domestic arrangements of this fish
are so informal that the eggs have no
special abiding-place, nor any protec-
ton whatever. OF the millions Of eggs
that are deposited by asingle female, not
more than hundred thousand, prOba-
bly, not more than ten thousand, result
in full-grown fish. Like the small boy
who, if he could not whip larger boy,
could at least make faces at his sister,
the smaller fish upon which the cod
preys find delicious revenge in eating
the eggs of the latter, while the mass
of "Iow-down" inhabitants of the
ocean are true to the instinct of low
downers everywhere to prey upon
aristocracy, particularly upon the
younger scions thereof. 1t is proba-
BILE, TOO, that many of the eggs which
escape the keen eyes of searchers after
delicacies do not become fertilized.-

Two notices, framed, glazed and
suspended upon the walls of a dram
shop on the new canal at St, Peters
burg, close to Nine. Sassetzki's 'Ref-
uge for the Homeless" run as follows:
II exhort the gentlemen who honor my
establishment with their patronage to
forego robbery and theft while within
its precincts, not to thrash one another,
and, on the whole, not to make un-
pleasant noises. Those who act in con-
travention to this warning will receive
punishment in my dram-shop, of sort
that they win experience no difficulty in
feeling" The second notice affords
quaint contrast to the first, which en-
wraps a hideous threat in exquisitely
courteous phrase, while the native
benevolence of the eccentric dram.sell-
or shines out genially in the following
kindly advertisement; "As soon as the
cold and rainy weather shall set in, five
copecks will be here advanced to each
needy and weary man, that he may pay
for a bed whereon to rest his body" It
appears that the author of these re-
markable notices faithfully adheres to
the text Of both. If his customers mis-
conduct themselves he lays into them
with cudgel, but any poor wretch pre-
senting himself after eight in the even

Horse Hygiene.

All horses must not be fed in the
same proportion, without regard to
Cheir ages, constitution or their work
the impropriety of such practice is
self-evident. Yet it is constantly done,
and is the basis Of disease of every kind,
Never use bad hay on account Of its
-cheapness, because there is no proper
nourishment in it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly iniuri-
Gus, because it brings on Inflammation
OF the bowels and skin diseases.
Chat is better for old horses than
hay, because they can chew and digest
it better.
Hay or grass alone will not support
a horse under hard work, because there
is not sufficient nutritive bodyin either.
When a horse Is worked hard his food
should be chiefly oats-if not worked
hard his food shoHld be chiefly hay,
because oats supply more nourishment
and fesh-making material than any
other fOod-hay not so much
Mix chat with corn or beans, and do
not give the latter alone, because it
makes the horse chew his food more
and digest it better,
For a saddle or coach horse half a
peck Of sound oats and eighteen pounds
Of good hay are sufficient. II the hay
is not good add a quarter Of a peck
more oats. A horse which works harder
may have rather more Of EACH one that
works less should have less,
Rack feeding is wasteful. The better
plan is to feed with chopped hay from
a manger, because the feed is not then
thrown about. and is more easily
cheWed and digested.
Sprinkle the hay with water that has
salt dissolved in it, because It is pleas
ing to the animals taste, and is more
easily digesied. A tablespoonful Of
salt in q bucket Of water.
Oats should be bruised for an old
horse, but not for q young one, because

He was In some respects remarkable man. Be-
ing reared under the influence Of the Society Of
Friends, he was not satisfied To sit quietly under
the shade Of the denominations tree, but pre-
ferred to wander into new and forbidden fields Of
thought. For this, he was disciplined and hnal-
ly disowned, but, conscious OF the rscttude his
motives, ho continued to interrogate Nature for
an answer to the problems Of life. Being Of stu
dious habits aud An original cast Of mind, hisin- :
vestigations led him to conclusions which, wheth
popular or not, were entirely satisfactory to him
self His opinions were consoientiously formed
honestly entertained, and fearlessly expressed,
and, whether correct or not, were sufficient to So
cure TO the community correct conduct through
life and to him immunity from the fear Of death I.
He was a true friend OF humanity and always
foremost in all reiormatory measures. He was
an obliging neighbor, a steadfast friend, ki nd
husband, an indulgent parent, and an upright
Citizen. Let him rest. II. II.
