How TO Judge Il Horse.

The stereotyped methods of deciding
the health, age, staying properties, and
net value of horse. are familiar to all
intending purchasers and since, in
this connection, the old adage: "Fa-
miliarity breeds contempt" is true
one, we think, says the Spirit of the
Turf, there may be many Of our read
ers who will welcome few practical
rules, and save money by employing
them:
Never take the sellers word if dis
honest he will be certain to cheat YOU;
if disposed to be fair, he may have
been the dupe of another, and will de-
ceive you through representations
which cannot be relied upon.
Never trust to Il horses mouth as Il
sure index to his age
Never buy horce while in motion;
watch him while he stands at rest, and
YOU will discover his weak points. If
sound he will stand firmly and square
ly on his limbs, without moving any
of them, the feet planted fiat upon the
ground, with legs plumb and naturally
poised.
If one foot is thrown forward with
the toe POINTING to the ground
and the heel raised, or if the foot is
lifted from the ground and the weight
tuken from it, disease of the navicular
bone may be suspected, or at least ten
derness, which is Il precursor Of disease
If the foot is thrown out, the toe raised
and the heel brought down, the horse
has suffered from amnits-founder-
the back sinews have been sprained,
and he is of little future value. When
the feet are all drawn together beneath
the horse, if there has been no disease,
there is displacement of the limbs nj
least, and weak disposition of the
muscles.
If the horse stands with his feet
spread apart, or straddles with the
hind legs, there is weakness ofthc loins,
and the kidneys are disordered. When
the knees are bent and the Ices totter
and tremble, the beast has been ruin
ed by heavy pulling, and will never be
right again, whatever rest and treat
Alent he may have.
Contracted or Informed hoofs speak
for themselves.
Never buy horse with n BLUSH or
milky cast in his eyes. They indicate
a constitutional tendency to opthalmia,
Inoon-blindness, etc. Never have any
thing to do with horse who keeps his
ears thrown backward. This is an in
dication of bad temper.
If the horses hind legs are Scared
the fact denotes that he is kicker.
If the knees are blemished, the horse
is apt to stumble.
When the skin is rough and harsh,
does not move easily and smoothly to
the touch, the horse is heavy eater,
and his digestion Is bad.
Avoid Il horse whose respiratory or
cans arc mt all impaired.
If the ear is placed at the side of the
heart. and a wheeling sound is heard,
Il Is an indicate ~ Of trouble. Let him

Treating Rancid Butter.

A correspondent says a simple way,
and one she has never known to fail, is
to cut the butter into pieces of about a
pound each, wrap each piece separate
ly in II clean white cloth, then enclose
all in nice white bag or large cloth,
and bury the whole foot or more in
the ground, the deeper the better
After week or two, according to the
rancidness of the butter, uncarth, wash
carefully, resalt and it will be found
to be sweet and wholesome. l have
so treated butter which was too rancid
for cooking, and when put upon the
table after such treatment, it could not
be told from fresh butter.

For Chicken Cholera.

A lady correspondent in Gonzales
County, Texas. sends the following,
which is strongly endorsed by her: If
the fowl is sick, take Il half teaspoon
full of rhubarb and the same quantity
ofsoda and black pepper; make into
pills with bread crumbs and water,
and put down the throat. Repeat the
dose if the first does not cure. Ifused
as preventative, this dose will make
the fowl healthy. 1t may be given by
putting teaspoonful Of the powdered
rhubharb in bucket of water and
forcing the fowls to drink it by exclud-
ing any other water from their run.
Do this every other week, and it will
Dreyent the cholera.

Soda for Burns.

All kinds of burns, including scaldy,
and sunburns, are almost Immediately
relieved by the application Of a solution
of soda to the burnt surface. 1t must
be remembered that dry soda will not
de unless it is surrounded with cloth
moist enough to dissolve it. This
method of sprinkling it on and cover
ing it with n wet cloth is often the
very best. But it is sufficient to wash
the wound repeatedly with a strong
solution.

Treating Scarlet Fever with sulphur.

The foreign medical Journals quite
generally notice the successful treat
ment Of scarlet fever by DR.. Ii. Pigeon
by the use of sulphur. 1t appears that
all the cases IN which he employed this
remedy were well marked, and the
epidormis on the arms in each case
came away like the skin of snake.
The patient was thoroughly anointed
twice daily with sulphur ointment, and
five or ten grains of sulphur given in
Il little jam three times day. Stuff
cient sulphur was burned twice daily,
on Goals on Il shovel, to fill the rooms
with the fumes, and, of course, was
thoroughly inhaled by the patient. DIR
Pigeon asserts that, under this mode of
treatment, each case improved imme-
diately, and none were over eight days
i'll making a complete recovery.

What a Wife Can DO,

The Westfield correspondent of the
Springfield, { Mass.) Republican, tells this
story: In Illustration of what man
can accomplish in spite of adverse cir
cumstances and bodily aff1iction, with
a loving, willing, wife to aid him, is
found in DR.. G. n. Gerimaine, for years
one of our most respected and success
full physicians. Three years since his
eyes began to fail, and gradually his
sight weakened, until about a year ago
it was entirely lost. He had no means
Of livelihood aside from his profession,
SO as his sight grew dim his wife, who
is Il woman of broad culture and refine
ment, accompanied him on his visits
to patients to guide him. Gradually
accustoming herself to note the various
symptoms of the sick, and by earnest
study, she became fully competent,
when her husbands sight was wholly
gone, to describe all the outward symp-
toms of patients to him, so that he has
not been obliged to give up practice,
but can be found every day going his
regular rounds with his wife by his side.
Ills former patrons, with but few excep-
tons, continue him as their family
physician, and his blindness has not af-
fected his skill and success in treating
various forms of disease, although, of
course, it prevents HIM from practicing
surgery. Every one sympathizes with
DR.. Germaine in his atfiiction, and ad,
mires his coorage and his noble wife's
devotion and energy.

A Scene in a SchOOl.ROOM.

Boy-nature was neither stupid nor I'M
derstood in the former days. If the
modern school, taking its cue from the
modern family, leans unduly to the
side Of moral suasion, the old-fashioned
schoolmaster was a partisan Of fogging
He also took his cue from the parents
whese motto was. Spare the rod
spoil the child"
"Ive brought you out Jock" said q
Scotch mother to the schoolmaster
Dragging forward a struggling youns
savage; "mind We lick him weel.''
No wonder that Jock, thus con
signed to the rule of the strap, should
grow up a worse savage. OF course he
would become a bully and beat hi:
weaker mates.
A Scotch editor, commenting on the
rough school of his boyhood, where
nothing kept the boys in any sort of Or
der but the strap,-taatse is its Scotch
name,-describes a scene which he wit
messed during a school session:
Jock had maltreated a son of hers or
the green, and she had come tt
int1ict vengeance upon him before
the whole school. Jocks conscious sou
trembled at the sight, and she had lit
tie difficulty in detecting him.
Ere the master had recovered from,
the establishment which her intrusion
had created the fell virago had pounceo
upon the culprit, had dragged him into
the middle Of the floor, and there be
gan to belabor him with the domestic
tause, which she had brought for the
purpose.
The screams OF the boy, the anxious
entreaties of the master, with his con
slant, "Witie, wife, be quiet, be quiet,
and the agitated feeling which began tc
pervade the school, formed scene
which defy words topaint it.

ties. In addition to..these great dlscov-
cries, Profs. Watson and Swift saw
three intra-mercurial planets during
the total eclipse of 1873, while over a
thousand double and triple stars, more
than fifty asteroids and fifteen new COM
cts have been located in the heavens,
through the researches of the astrono-
mers of the United States. This is a
record of which all may be proud.
The new Observatory at Rochester, is
specially designed to further this very
work. 1t is intended as d point of dis
covery rather than as an institution of
record, and there can be little doubt
that it will bring cut much that is new.
The original idea was to build tower
and residence of moderate proportions,
but the financial success of Mr.. II. H..
Warner, who made the original endow-
ment, and is the proprietor Of the Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure, and other rem
edies, induced that gentlemen to ex-
pend much more upon the building,
grounds and instruments, and thus en-
large the plans to their present dimen-
sions. Prof. Swift, who has found so
many comets, and also two intra-mer-
curial planets in 1878, will have charge
of the Warner Observatory, and devote
his entire time to the work of the in
stitution The new telescope IS to be
twenty-five feet in length, while the
lens is sixteen inches in diameter, being
the third largest in size of the telescopes
now in use in this country.
While America is SO greatly distin-
guished by its inventions and enter
prises, there is much to indicate that it
will take an equally high rank in the
realm of discoveries, and it may also be
predicted with a reasonable degree Of
certainty, that astronomy will eventual
ly find its highest advancement at the
hands of American Investigators.

A New Scientific Ente prise.

The cause of astronomy in the
United States is comparatively in its in
fancy; butcstill it has made very great
strides which will unquestiopably be
surpassed in the future. Space, will not
permit a lengthy account Of all that has
been done; but the following are a few
of the leading discoveries by American
astronomers. Prof. Hall, Of the Wash
ington observatory, was the fortunate
discoverer of the two moons which ac-
company Mars, aud no event of the
present century, in this special field,
has been of greater Importance. Amer
lean astronomers discovered the sepa-
ration of Biella's comet into two parts,
and in 1S4S Prof. Bond found the eighth
satellite of Saturn. This discovery by
Prof. Bond was followed in the year
1850 by the discovery of the transpar-
ent ring of Saturn, both of which
events reflected the greatest credit up
on this country, comparatively desti-
tute as it then was in telescope facili-

Interesting British Statistics.


Ireland has decreased in population
since 1865 more than a quarter of Il
million, and the marriages have de-
creased by 5000. In the same time
the population of the United Kingdom
has increased from 29.S61 sos to a.
5O5,O43. While pauperism has de-
creased in England and Wales from
81 900 to S47 900, and in Scotland from
$4,000 to $1,000, the returns from
Ireland show an increase from $4,000
to 100000. In criminal returns, Scot
land, with little more than three mil
lions of population in 1865, furnished
1896 convictions for serious offenses,
and in 1880, with half a million more
possible offenders, 1880. In Ireland,
with diminishing population, the con
victions were respectively 1861 and
2,2O7. Ireland is thus proportionately
far less criminally disposed-at least as
far as serious crime is concerned
than Scotland, if we are to judge by
the number of convictions. But, on
the other hand, out Of 2,269 persons
committed for trial in Scotland, 1000
were convicted; while in Ireland the
proportion is 1858 to 2,2O7. This con-
trast, we can scarcely doubt, points to
a great evil in the political state of
Ireland AS to the other indications of
progress in civilization it may be noted
that whereas, taking an average, each
inhabitant of England and Wales re-
ceived % letters IN 1865, 81 in 1879. in
Ireland the increase is from 10 to IA;
while the average receipt Of newspa-
pers is 10 per head for England and
Wales, and only 5 for Ireland. The
money in savings banks averages about
$1,000 per head in the United Kingdom
and about 81 in Ireland; while there
can be little doubt that comparison
of the accounts of friendly societies
and other forms of providence would
be equally unfavorable to Ireland.
