ACTION OF LIME on Tue SoIL.-Lime
as il comes from the kiln, is known as
caustic or quick lime-the heat having
expelled the earbolic acid gas of the
carbonate of lime or lime stone. Upon
exposure to the air and moisture this
ciustic lime absorhs water and carbon
ic acid gas, and again returns TO the
cal bonate. During this revision 1t de-
composes vegecable matter and sets
the elements of plant foDd free. IL is
in this power to prepare food ior The
growing crop from the vegetable mat
ter in the soil that the chief value Of
lime resides. The greater the per
cent. OF the lime that is in the caustic
state, the more valuable it is for this
work. The quicker the lime can be
applied after burning tine better.

FIXING SHOES TO HORSES HooFs.-
4 new idea for accomplishing this
without the use of nails is carried out
rs follows; The inventor takes shoe
of ordinary construction, having, say,
four holes therein, and through these
he passes bands or wires of metal, two
extending from or near the hinder eX-
tremites of the shoe, and the other two
at short distances from either side Of
the toe, the position being varied with
the number OF bands employed. To
fix the shoe the hinder wires or bands
are first drawn tightly round the front
and upper part or corona OF the hoof.
the ends passing through a buckle or
ring, or they may be twisted together.
The ends Of the other wires are also
passed through the RUG or under the
the first bands, and, being drawn
tightly downwards, the hinder wires
vi bands. owing 10 the conformation OF
the hooi, are, a it were, xedged tight
ly, thus fixing the shoe firmly to the
hoof. This invention only receives
provisional protection.

TEA AND CoFFEE.-Tea and coffee ex-
cite the activity OF the brain and
nerves. Tea, it is said, increases the
power OF digesting the impressions we
have received, creates thorough med
itation, and, in spite of the movements
of thought. permits the attention to be
fixed upon a certain subject. On the
other hand. if taken in excess, lit causes
an increased irriiabillty OF the n 'rves,
characterized by sleeplessness, with a
general feeling of res lessness, and
trembling of the limbs. Coffee, sJso,i If
taken TO excess, produces sleepless-
ness, and many baneful effects very
similar to those arising from tea drink
ing. Cohee, however, produces greateS
excitement, and a sensation OF restless
ness and heat ensues. For throwing
of this condition fresh air l. the best
antidoie.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

RAW OYsTEBs.-rhep practice OF cook
ing is not equally necessary In regard
to all articles of food. There are i'm
portant differences in this respect and
it is Interesting TO note how correctly
the experience of mankind has guided
them in this matter. The articles OF
food which we still use in the uncOOk-
ed state are comparatively few; and 1t
is not difficult in each case to Indicate
the reason of the exemption. Fruits,
which we consume largely in raw state
owe their dietetic value chiefly to the
sugar which they contain; but sugar
Il not altered by cooking. Milk is
consumed by us both cooked and un-
cooked, indifferently; for l have found
on trial that the digestion of milk by
pancreatic extract was not appreclably y
hastened by previously boiling the
milk. Our practice in regard to the
oyster is quite exceptional, and furn-
ishes a striking example of the general
correctness of the popular judgment
on dIetetic questions. The oysters is
almost the only animal substance
which we eat habitually, and by pref
ference, in the raw or uncooked state,
and it is interesting 10 know that there
is sound physiological reason at the
bottom OF this preference. The fawn-
colored mass which constitutes the
dainty part of the oyster is its liver,
and this is little else than q heap OF
giycOgen. Associated with the gly-
cogen, but Withheld from actual con-
tact with 1t during life. is its appro-
pirate digestive ferment-the hepatic
diastase. The mere crushing oil the
dainty between the teeth brings these
Two bodies together, and the glycogen
is at once digested, without other help,
by Its own dlastase. The oyster IN the
uncooked state, or merely warmed, is,
In tact, self suggestive. But the advan-
tage of this provision is wholly lost by
cooking, for the heat employed immedi-
a,ely destroys the associated ierment,
and a cooked oyster has to be digested,
like any other food, by the eaters own
digestive powers.
