trifling ohense to the personal or ma

they are about the least mistakes to
which the editor is liable. The editor

W atering Horse :.

Horses should be watcred in the
morning before they are fed. A full
drink of water immediately after being
fed is sure way OF producing
indigestion, if not inflammation. When
water is drank by horses, the bulk of
it goes directly to the large intestines,
and little of it is retained in the stom-
ach. Some old and worthless horses,
by way of experiment, were fed with
split peas, and then supplied with wa

and it was found that the water had
carried the peas from fifty to sixty
feet into the intestins, where no diges-

The excessive indulgence in any ap-
petite is injurious, but it has long
been a question whether the moderate
use OF tobacco in any Of the customary
forms IS attended with deieterous eff
fects. Here is an item on this head
that con be taken for what it is worth:
At Yale College each class is graded
ia divisions according to scholarship,
the best scholar being in the first, and
50 on down to the foui III, where they
are rated mot to good yet good
enough" to keep in the ranks. In
the Junior class it was found that only
10 out Of 40 in the fist division Were
addicted to smoking, Is out Of 81 i'll
The second, 20 out OF p i'll the third
and % out of 26 in the fourth. The
proportion of smokers, it will be Oh
served, increased in regular ratio witt
the falling Oft in scholarship. The in
ference is against the smokers, but i
is not certain that there are othel
causes to account for the falling off il
mental ability. 1t is not usual fol
people to reform the vices as tha,
grow Older, and this might to some ex
tent account for the advance in sch0l
arship of the first division Of the Yal
Junior class. En-.

must not he discouraged if our horn
of plenty should be diluded with some
of the common drug. First came the
high water, but its damage is slight
when compared with the resources we
have of remunerating ourselves
for our losses. Next come the
grasshoppers, but their ravishes have
been only over small area, when com
pared with the extens We fields under
cultivation in our rneiehborhood. Now
we ure on the eve of a big Indian

One of the Philadelphia papers raises the
question as to whether a saleswoinan has
a right to draw the patronage of customers
from shop that she leaves to another. 1t
makes no difference whether she has right
to do it or not. Customers will follow an
agreeable saleswoman, even if the shop

H1 Early in the present century Mr..
Sampson Levy was prominent member
of the Philadelphia bar. A client called
on him one day and stated his case with
considerable prolixity, concluding with
the question: "Now, Mr.. Levy what do
you think had better do?"
"If I were you," he replied" would
go home and put ten-dollar note in my
pocket-book and go to some lawyer of
my acquaintance and ask his advice
about the matter"
The clients pocket-book Immediately
appeared.
When one of his clients died Mr.. Levy
was accustomed to say /" There goes a
