A HINT To HoRsEMEN.-The man
who has been exposed to heat and Ia
tigue, and is suffering from thirst, dares
not indulge freely in the usa of cold
water. He calls for tea or coffee, the
hotter the better, and is soon refreshed.
But the poor horse. rocking at every
pore, cannot call for drink. The care
full owner wisely withho!ds the cooling
draught till the animal has had time TO
cool. A livery man., who has had a
long and successful experience. finds it
wise TO treat his horses as he would
himself be treated, not with a cup of
tea, but with copious draughts of warm
water. This allays THIRST with no posi-
be danger, since it is not the water
that harms the horse, but the violent
change, caused by the sud len lowering
of temperature by swallowing cold
water.
A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
World says: 81 have recently learned
what appears to me to be the true
method OF co!oring and stripping a rag
carpet before it goes to the weavers; a
method which insureS against the ne
cessity of adding every few days o
rags to make up the right amount. The
rule for twenty-five yards is, one pound
of cotton rags for one thread on each
side of the stripe. Two pounds will
make two threads on each side, and
four threads require four pounds.
Weigh the rags previous to coloring
them, and then stripe according to the
weight. Observe the same rue for the
plain stripe; il you want thirty threads
you will need fifteen pounds. Wind
your W stripe. 1 advise lady readers
to try this plan, for it will save them
much trouble after the carpet has been
taken to the weavers.'
