lT known that the Russian aud
PruSsian Governments have adopted a
kind of biscuit for horses containing
much nutritiye matter in small volume.
According TO La Nature, the biscuhs
are formed of the meal OF oats, peas,
and linseed. The various combinations
have been studied with care, ana Il mix
ture has been obtained OF such de-
scrlption that one kilogramme Of IL Is
equal to five kilogrammes of oats. IL
has been found that horses bear fatigue
better and are more vigorous when fed
with these biscuits than when fed with
oats. The biscuits can be threaded to-
gether by means of an iron wire; and
IN this way a horse may carry his own
food for four or five days. Durlug the
late war with Turkey, Russia used
twenty millions of these biscuits, and
the results were so good that the au-
thorities have continued their use in
time of peace.

The committee of twenty-one met at the
council chamber last evening, John De Lait-
tre in the chair, and ten members present.
Mr.. McNair, one of the committee, called
the attention of the members to an article
in the Euening Tribune, entitled 'sRevolu-
tionizing our School System," which was
thought by several of the members to be q
slur on the committee, and the article was
severely criticised.
On motion of Mr.. De Laittre, the follow.
ing was adopted:
That a board of tax levy be created, whose
duty it shall be to levy all city, school and
county taxes, said board to be composed of the
president of the school board president of the
common council, and chairman of the commit
tee of way and means, chairman of the board
of county commissioners and the county audi
tor.
On motion the reports of the sub-com-
mittees not acted upon were taken up, and
the following recommendations were
adopted:
That no streets be opened or graded for
the next two years, and that only half mill
levy be made for street improvements
That the street lighting bills be restricted to
$4,000 ana that all intermediate lamps be
discontinued.

1t is because ''the moral character Of a
large number Of newspaper men have been as
sailed by Bostons Young Mems Christian
associations that the local fourth estate has
flown to arms, The incident that led to the
unpleasantness, as related by the Boston Id
| uertiser, was this: "a gentleman prominently
connected with one of the daily papers, having
moved from the neighborhood Of the church to
| which he belonged, took letter to church of
| the same denomination and asked to be ad-
mltted. The standing committee refused his
application on the ground of notwithstanding
his business requiring him to spend a portion
of each Sunday in preparing matter for his
Mondays paper. This action of the standing
committee come up for discussion at meet
ing of the association, and was indorsed one
brother who raised the question, being advised
to vote no every time on such applications for
church fellowship" Having thus stated the
issue we will leave the matter to be settled by
parties involved. 1t is fight which primarily
interests on the side of the defense, the morn

the good moral character of morning news

uniformly lovely, and of good report. Our
morning journalists may perhaps devote a
| slight section of Sunday to secular concerns
But we suspect that they adhere to the old
fashion of beginning the Sabbath at sundown
Saturday night, and ending it at sundown Sun
day night, and thus keep their consciences
void of the offense in question. We commend
their example to the morning journals of Bos-
ton and elsewhere, and suggest to all of them
that If they would avoid the appearance of evil
and at the same time show that they know the
httest time to go to press, they will transform
themselves into afternoon newspapers.
There is no charge for this advice, and we re-
solutely decline to accept a testimonial from
the morning papers whose gratitude we have
thus signally earned, both by our explanation
of the boundaries of their Sabbath and our sug-
gestions as to their future
