A Cemetery without . Monument.

The sea is the largest of cemeteries,
and all its slumberers sleep without .
monument. All other graveyards, in
all lands, show some symbols of dis
tincsion between the great and small,
the rich and poor; but in that ocean
cemetery the King and clown, tho
Prince and the peasant are alike undis-
tinguished. The same wave rolls over
all; the requiem by the minstrels of the
ocean is sung in their honor. Over
their remains the storms beat and the
same sun shines; and there, unmarked,
the weak and the powerful, the plumed
and the unhonored will sleep on until,
awakened by the trump, the sea will
give up its dead. No marble rises to
point out where their ashes are gath
cred. Yet the cemetery hath orna-
ments of which no other can boast. On
no other are the heavenly orbs reflected
in such splendor. Over no other |.
heard such noble melody.

Care Of Horses Feet.

William Horne. a veterinary surgeon,
of Wisconsin, says: perhaps there is
no more prolific source of lameness in
the horse than contraction, which sim
ply means a gradual loosening of the
entire hoof, chiefly in the heel, and for
some reason or other, generally of the
fore feet. It is commonly called by
horsemen widening in of the hoof, and
pressing unduly upon the sensible
lamina of the hoof produces that pecu-
liar lameness which so much puzzles
the uninitiated; being to them an in
visible cause. Even the so-cal.ed horse
doctors are generally completely puz-
zled by this disease when looking for
the cause of lameness. There is no pos
sible criterion for fixing the appearance
accurately OF any popularity Of lame
ness consequent upon contraction,
sometimes the lamennss being very
slight, while at other times it is very
acute, so much so as to render the horse
for time quite useless, being generally
pronounced foundered by those who
think they know whereof they speak.
Its causes are numerous and various;
but in my opinion, which is founded
upon practical observation, the chief
cause is in faulty shoeing. Sufficient
attention is not paid to the nature of
the hoof to be shod; thin shell hoof
requires q light shoe; the nails should
be small and not too tightly clinched.
The last point is very important, indeed,
in all shoeirg, yet horse with strong,
thick hoof may take much heavier
shoe and larger nails, and they may be
little more tightly c .inched. Another
very important point for which the
blacksmith is not answerable is that
some persons, farmers especially,
allow the shoes to be worn Just as
long as they will stay on; often letting
q poor horse do hard work with three,
two or even one shoe on. BY this means
horses are quite apt to have one hoof
larger than the other, from the fact
that the bare foot, or feet, wore down,
while the ones shod retain all the hoof,
hence the cause for the remark so
common, ''your horse has odd feet"
1t is q good plan to allow horses to 90
barefoot few days occasionally; by 50
doing the hoof expands, and so far is
a preventive of contraction. Foul,
dirty stables, or other manure heaps,
OCCoSiOA euO uAo0oS0 Wy tuc dcIiOu Vi
ammonia upon the horny portions of
the feet. Standing constantly upon a
hard, dry floor is another source Of this
evil, also. Such horses should have
wooden pads or cloths several thick
nesses tied loosely round, just above
and overhanging the hoof, which are to
be constantly kept wet with water.
finally, if the feet are very bad take
off all the shoes, open the heels on
each side of the cleft of the frog, pare
until you can see the quick, and if
grass time, turn him out in q damp
pasture; if not grass time. turn him in
the next similar and best place you can
for few weeks, and you will be more
likely to effect cure. When he is
taken up care must be taken not to
subject them to the same causes. If
the horse should be still lame after the
pairing, as he will be, do not be afraid,
he win soon get over it and be all the
more sound for the pairing as recon-
uended."

Purity OF Water.

SOME very instructive remarks were
made recently by Prof. Huxley, during
the criticism of paper by DR.. Tidy, on
water tor dietetic purposes. DR.. Tdy's
paper, Prot. Huxley thought, contained
good deal of what might be called
biological turbidity," and he would,
therefore, endeavor to act as filter,
and state only what were demonstrable
facts. Diseases caused by what people,
not wisely, call germs. such as splenic
fever, Pig-typhoid, etc., are caused in
variably by bodies of the nature of BAG
terra, and these bodies could be cultiva-
TED through twenty or thirty genera
lions, and then, when given to the OK
the s %9ss dysase
reason even to imagine that anybody
capable OF causing disease by such
means could be anything bu a body
having the nature of bacterium. Now,
bacteria are just as much plants as
mushrooms or cabbages or the Yelling
tonia glgantea, so that we know under
what conditions bacteria can live and
what they will do. Bacteria can be
sown, and will thrive in Pasteur's solu-
ton just as cress or mustard in the
soil; and Prof. Roscoe, an eminent chem
list, thinks it doubtful whether there was
any known method to ascertain whether
it drop of this solution were placed in
q gallon of water its constituents could
be estimated. Every cubic inch of such
water would contain fifty thousand to
one hundred thousand bacteria, and one
drop of it would be capable of exciting
putrefactive fermentation in any sub
stance capable of undergoing that fer
mentation. The human body may be
considered as such substance, and we
may conceive of water containing
such organisms which may be as pure
as can be as regards chemical analysis,
and yet be as regards the human body
Is deadly as prussic acid. 1 am aware,
continued Prof. Huxley, that this is a
terrible conclusion, but l. is true, and il
the public are guided by percentages
they may often be led astray. The real
value of a determination of the quantity
of organic impurity in water is that
by it shrewd notion can be obtained
as to what has had access to that water.
If it be proved that sewage has been
mixed with it, there is a very great
chance that the excreta of some dis
eased persons may be there also. On
the other hand, water may be chemically
gross, yet do harm to no one. the great
danger being in the diseased germs.
