The Stomach of the Horse.

The horses stomach has a capacity of
only sixteen quarts, while that of an OK has
two hundred and fifty. In the intestnes
this proportion is reversed, the horse having
{. capacity of one hundred and ninty quarts,
against one hundred Of the OK. The OK and
most other animals have a gall bladder for
the retention of a part of the bile secrcted
during digestion. The horse has none, and
the bile flows directly into the intestincs
as fast as secreted. This construction of
the digestive organs indicates that the
horse was formed to eat slowly and digest
continually bulky and nutritious food
When fed OF hay, it passes very rapidly
through the stomach into the intestine
The horse can eat but five pounds of hay in
an hour which is changed during mastica
tion, with four times its weight of saliva
Now, the stomach, to digest it well, will
contain but about ten quarts, and when the
animal eats one third of his daily ration, or
he has swallowed at least two stomachfuls
of hay and saliva, one ofthese having passed
to the intestine. Observation has shown
that the food is passed to the intestine by
the stomach in the order in which it is re.
ceived. If we feed horse six quarts of
oats, it will just fill his stomach, and if as
soon as he finishes this we feed him the
above ration of seven pounds of hay he will
cat sufficient in three.quarters Of an hour to
have forced the oats entirely out Of the
stomach into the intestines. AS it is, the
Office of the stomach to digest the nitroge.
nous parts of the feed, and as the stomach
full of oats contains four or FIVE times as
much of these as the same amount of hay,
it is certain that either the stomach must
secrete the gastric juice five times as fast,
which is hardly possible, or it must retain
this food five times as long. By feeding the
oats first, it can only be retained long
enough for the proper digestion of hay
consequently, is seems logical, when
feeding concentrated food like oats with
a bulky one like hay, to feed the latter first
giving the grain the whole time between
the repasts to be gested.-Colvn.

VALUE OF SUNDAY TO ANERICA.-If the
working men and women Of this country
understand their own interests they will
cling to the Sabbath as day of "rest," and
resist, to the uttermost, these who would
take it from them. 1t has vanished from
Germany, and a traveller gives the results
" In going to church Sunday morning we
have passed fields where women were
patiently hoeing endless rows of potatoes,
often with children two or three years old
clinging TO their skirts, swaying about in
the loose soil, and crying to be taken up.
So much for Sabbath morning in Ger.

thirty women in one grain.feld binding

calm, so bright had called them to their

The End of the Oneida Community.

Lie huu OF IH6 Ul6lua community
1t is said that the introduction of women's
fashions in Utah Territory has done more
to make polygamy unpopular there than
any other one thing. The head of a popu-
lar Mormon household very soon found out
that it was more than he could do to clothe
half dozen wives and their children in
the prevailing style, while if he did not so
clothe them he was perpetually in kettle
Of domestic hot water Thus fashion for
once was Of some social utility; it served to
deter long g-headed Mormons from taking
more than one wife.
| The new rule enumerated in the Oneida
| Community will have a similar effect, and
very possibly it will break up the entire
organization. Formerly the whole commu-
nifty formed one family. There were no
| husbands aud wives, and the childrt We're
held in common. Now, Mr.. Noyes substi
tutes for the pure communal system the
celibate system. These two are to he
maintained together in this sense, that the
married folk and single folk are to live in n
common household, to eat at common
table and to keep the children ina common
nursery. But the two systems are inconsis-
tent in their nature, and their forced union
will lead to an Interference with what the
married folk will instinctvely feel to be
their rights in n manner which at first will
seem to be meddling, than offensive, and
finally intolerable. The fathers and moth
ers will soon grow to know that they are
the rightful judges of what is best for thrir
children, and they will not yield in these
matters under the family system as they
have done under the pure communal
system. The communal system choked
these natural parental feelings at The
outset, so that they never gained strength
enough to assert themselves, the concession
of the right to live in part in the family
relation will give these feelings rooT
enough to exist and to exert their usual in
fluence.
The truth of the old saying thatno hous
is big enough for two families will be illus
trated again, and in the end we are conf
dent that in this instance, as has happened
before, there will be a struggle between tn
system of celibacy and the system of FAM
lies in which the family system will win til
day. 1t will not be at all surprising if tn
Oneida Community begins to decay fror
this time forward, although the process wi
doubtless be IL very slow one at first

Extraordinary Drive of Logs.

Last week there was started from the
headwaters of the Connecticut river,
New Hampshire, by far the largest drive
of spruce logs belonging to one party
ever set ahoat upon the Connecticut
river or even any river in the United
States. Four-hfths of the drive is the
property and under the sole management
Of the Connecticut River Lumber Com
pany of this city: 1t contains about So
100000 of feet. Ten millions out of the
50,0O0,O00 a-e sold to and will be de-
livered to various paper mills along, the
river line, to be made into pulp. Three
millions Of feet will be RATED from this
city to the New Haven steam sawmill.
The balance will be distributed between
the three mills owned and operated by
the above company at Mount Tom, Hol-
yoke and Hartford. This company was
organized in February, 1873. They are
the owners of 100000 acres of lumber
land in New Hamphire, including the
lands that were formerly in dispute be-
tween the English and American govern
ments, and were finally accorded to the
United States by the Ashburton treaty.
During the fall and winter months the
company cut and haul their. logs to vari-
Gus landings, employing 1000 hands.
On the break up of spring, the logs arc
driven down to the Connecticut river,
and so or down, an operation which re-
quires two or three months. This COM
pany supplies to a large extent the en-
tire New England lumber market, and
also furnishes large quantities of lumber
to New 7 ork.-Hdrtford Tunes.

Air Currents as Affecting Hearing

Jacques has studied the effect produced
by the motion of the air in an auditor
i,im upon its acoustic qualities, using
for this purpose the Baltimore Academy
of Music. Having proved by direct ex-
pertinent that variations in density in
the air transmitting sound not. only de-
crease materially the intensity of the
sound, as Tyndall has experimentally
shown, but also actually modify its form,
and thus give rise to confusion and in
distinctness, it naturally followed that
in public halls where such currents of
air really exist in abundance there must
be much difficulty from this cause. In
the building above referred to the whole
supply of fresh air is admitted Mt the
back of the stage, is there warmed,
then crosses horizontally, passes through
the proscenium, diagonally upward to-
ward.the roof, across the auditorium, in
one large current, and goes out partly
through the roof, and partly through
registers in the gallery ceilings, into a
ventilation tower over the chandelier,
whose heat is the motive power. About
$4,000 cubic feet Of air per minute are
thus drawn through the house. The
acoustic qualities of the house, being e1-
ceptionalfy perfect, are ascribed largely
to the condition of the air within it. To
test the question, experiments were
made by stationing persons in various
parts of it during a performance, and
asking them simply to note the compara-
tive ease with which the performers
could be heard. At various intervals
the valves controlling the circulation of
air were reversed, so rs to produce cur
rents. Almost invariably the testimony
was that at times, which proved on COM
parison to agree with those ut which the
rreversals had taken place, the sound was
confused and indistinct, and people all
over the house were seen to make an effort
as if to listen.-Harper's Magazine.

A Curious Remedy for Throat and Lung
... Diseases.

A stranger would imagine that hos
pital for consumptives had been estab-
lished at the Belmont Oil Works when
passing there on a fine day. Sickly-look-
ing men, more shadow than substance;
sparsely-built females, and mothers with
delicate little ones may be seen passing
up and down in front of the works. their
mouths continually open, as though they
desired to inhaie ali the by-no.means
fragrant vapors which proceed from the
stills. Such in fact is the. reason for
their presence in the neighhorhood. 1t
is the theory that the vapor gas from the
boiling oil is a sure cure for throat and
lung diseases, and numbers flock to the
spot day after day. The employees OF
the works are among the strongest advo-
Gates of the theory. About fifty men are
engaged at the refinery, and although
they are subjected to all the vicissitudes
Of the weather, and work in the open air
the winter through, pulmonary COM
plants are unknown among them. This
IS true also of the four hundred employed
at the Standard works at Point Breeze.
The people residing in the vicinity OF
both refneries also enjoy remarkably
good health. tits stated on good authority
that some years ago, when the small
pox was raging in the city, the neighbor-
hood adjacent to the refinery, which was
then situated at Hestonville, was exempt
from the contagion, and that no signs OF
it appeared along the streets under which
were the drains through which the re-
fuse of the stills passed. ,
Crude oil is also stated to be good
remedy for pulmonary complaints. For
merly large numbers of consumpti,yes
were in the habit of obtaining supplies
from the refneries, and some wonderful
stories are told of individuals on the
brink of the grave who have been
brought back to the vigor of manhood
by a close application Of the greasy, cof-
fee-colored iquid.-Philadelphia Record.

The Dignity Of Bells.

With what strange and solemn men,
ories have bells yet extant been associ-
ated! The long green bell in the leaning
tower of Pisa, said to date back to. the
thirteenth century, which has rung for
ages as the sad professions of criminals
have passed over the bridge ITO execu-
tion-the very bell which, perchance,
announced to the awe-struck Pisans that
the wretched Ugolino, starved to death
at the bottom of the tower. had at
length ceased to breathe. The great
Carolus at Antwerp, which first rung in
1867, when Charles the Bold entered the
city; the storm-bell in Strasburg cathe-
dral, which still warns the traveller OF
the tempest seen from afar sweeping
over the.Vosges; the small bell Horrida,
the tocsin, 1916, covered with mildew,
which hangs high up in Notre Dame at
Antwerp, and is never rung, by reason
of it's age and infirmities; the. gate bell
in many an old fortified town, that still
sounds ut the shutting and opening of
the city portals; the curfew, which,
from time immemorial, has rung, over
the flats of Cambridge and the fens OF
Ely, and still greets the ears of the
freshmen, reminding him of the time
when the neighborhood was one waste
of perilous and poisonous marshes; the
old Tourney bells, which from their city
belfry greets the silent, colossal five
towers of the grandest church in Bel
gium, and strike the ear Of the traveller
as he hurries along the high road from
Lille, almost before the beacon-light on
the summit Of the belfry salutes his eyes
and these are chance specimens that
arise in my memory at random.-Good

Hats.

How few of US have traced the history
of the hat. The felt hat is as old as Ho-
mer. The Greeks made them in skull
caps, conical. truncated, narrow or broad
brimmed. The Phrygian bonnet has an
elevated cap without brim, the apex
turned over in front. 1t is known rs the
cap of liberty. An ancient figure of Lib
erty in the time of Antonius Livy, A. D.
l45, holds the cap in the right hand.
The Persians wore soft caps; plumed
hats were the head-dress of the Syrian
corps of Xerxes; the broad brim was
worn by the Macedonian kings. Castor
means beaver. The Armenian captive
wore plug hat. The merchants Of the
fourteenth century wore a Flanders
beaver; Charles VII, in 1869, wore a
felt hat lined with red and plumed. The
English men and women in 1910 wore
close woolen or knitted caps; two GEN.
turies ago hats were worn in the house.
Pepys, in his diary in 1864, wrote:
September, 1864, got severe cold be-
cause took off my hat at dinner" and
again, in January, 1865, he got another
cold by sitting too long with his head
bare, to allow his wife's maid to comb
his hair and wash his ears. And Lord
Clarendon, in his essay, speaking, of the
decay of respect due the aged, says,
"that in his younger days he never kept
his hat on before those older than him
self, except at dinner" In the thirteenth
century Pope Innocent ". allowed the
cardinals the use of the scarlet cloth hat.
The hats now in use are the cloth hat,
cork hat, embossed hat, felt hat, fur hat,
leather hat, paper hat, silk hat, opera
hat, spring-brim hat and straw hat.

The Coal Trade.

According to the sixth annual review
of the coal trade, which has just been
published, England still holds the first
position as the great coal-producing
country, the annual production being
1876, ,O00, 900 tons, while the United States
and Germany together produce about
100000, 900 tons.
In Pennsylvania, the coal industry be-
gan in 1920, when there was shipment
of 1865 tons. Six counties in that State
have, up to this time, produced more
than as many millions of tons.
1t has been prophesied that anthracite
coal would soon be scarce, and that
bituminous coal would have to take It's
place. Thus far the indications do not
warrant the assertion, although the trade
in anthracite is daily increasing in the
West. The statistics given in the annual
review embrace those of the leading
coal companies of the United States for
an average of twenty-five years, the
Philadelphia and Reading companies
heading the list with $500, l40 tons for
the past year. The coal output of the
globe during 1877 was as follows:
Great Britain, l34.6lO.769 tons; Unit
ed States, 49,l3O,5s4 tons; Germany,
4S, ,296, 1867 tons; France, 1855, POI tons;
Belgium, $685., ,523 tons; Austria, A.
252,03S tons; Russia, 100000 tons;
Spain, 699,500 tons; Portugal. 10000
tons; Nova Scotia, 757. .496 tons; Au-
stralia, 1,444,l7l tons; India, 1900, 600
tons; Japan, 100000 tons; Vancouver's
Island, 190,640 tons, and China, Chill
and New Zealand, 1000, 900 tons.

What q Boy Does With His Leisure
Hours.

This interesting bit OF literature has
been having q run through the news
papers, and its legitimate ambition is to
stir up the energy Of idle boys. One
man is said to have become a fine Latin
scholar by working away on Virgil
while his mistress was calling and shop
ping, and he was n coachman. Another
boy acquired q knowledge of Greek
while waiting to open a certain gate.
All these examples prove what may be
done if the right boy is selected to work
upon. Having been somewhat observ-
ing on the boy question, l have noticed
that they spend their leisure hours in a
variety of ways not at all improving to
the mind. Saturdays are red-letter days
in the lines of schoolboys, and the
amount of live experience that can be
crowded into spring Saturday is some
thing startling to think of. I know a
boy whose infant feet have pressed the
bosom ofsome seven summers, or there
abouts. who made four kites and flew
them with his mothers patent threac,
tore his pants zig-zag trying to nail a
pigeon-box to the woodshed, played
trapeze on the clothes-line, and came
down in the slop-barrel. These were
only casual incidents of an hour. He
coaxed strange rooster into the yard
and raised revolt in the hennery, upset
a pail of whitewash on the clean POI Oh,
and caused the hired girl to leave Wi h Ia
big ironing on hand dropped the sh' ars
into the cistern, and broke the small
blade of his knife, besides other and
minor things beyond number. 1t is one
of the impossibilities to regulate the
leisure hours of q boy.-A Mother.

To Prevent Diseases Among Children.

A correspondent says that he has fol-
lowed recommendation from lady to
evaporize a little carbolic acid daily in
the heaters as disinfectant and pre-
ventive against contagious diseases, an!
the results have been most satisfactory.
II have large school, and out of the
whole number only two pupils have been
sick with scarlet fever, and even these
cases were indirect ones. In my own
family, which consists of fourteen chill.
dren-fortunately not all my own.and
five adults, not one has been afflicted
with any malady, not even with n sore
throat, for longer than a day or two.
We certainly keep the house minutely
clean, ventilate it thoroughly every day,
and never heat the rooms above sixty..six
degrees Fahrenheit. During my thirty
years experience I have never seen the
like"
We think it probable that the use of a
small quantity of carbolic acid in the
manner above mentioned may in some
cases be beneficial. But if it were the
golden rule in every family to keep, the
house minutely clean, ventilate it thor
oughly every day, and never heat above
sixty-six degrees Fahrenheit, there
would probably be little need of carbolic
acid or any other drug.-Scsentifc Aner-
