The Original Penny.

The old, old penny in England, as in
other countries, was of silver, and its
appearance throughout the earliest time
of its history would rather astonish
those who know nothing of numismatic
lore. From the Saxon times, when 1T
was the only silver piece extant, till
those Of Edward l., it was stamped with
a square cross. This enabled the coin
to be readily broken into halves or
quarters, which then served the
purpose of halfpence or farthings. But
the latter coin was not much inferior to
the value of the present English penny,
inasmuch as the unbroken piece was
valued at one-thirtieth of mark, or
three pence sterling. At this time five
of them seem to have made shilling,
or shilling, so that the relations be-
tween what are now chief English sill
yer and bronze coins have entirely al
tered in the course of six centuries.
King Edward, who reformed the COIN
age, like everything else, was the first
to issue pennies without the indented
cross, and to make up for the loss of
the queer-shaped halfpennies and
farthings heretofore in use, sup
plemented the silver coinage with cir
cular pieces, bearing the same value
and denomination. He fixed the stand
ard of the penny, moreover, by order
ing that it should weigh thirty-two
grains of well-grown wheat, or, what
was probably a more accurate test, that
twenty pennies should weigh one ounce.

Improving Permanent Meadows.

1t is a law of vegetable economy
that no field that is continually cropped
can maintain q continued state of suit
able fertility, and so, this being the
case, some provision must be made foI
the restoration of such elements as are
withdrawn from the soil by a hay crop;
and. if plowing and the usual modes OF
application of fertilizers are to be aban-
doned, some other course must be pur-
sued. With great many, and especi-
ally upon some soils, it is believed that
a surface application of manures is the
most desirable; here, then, is a solu-
ton of the question regarding per-
manent meadows. Under ordinary
circumstances any Of the chemical fer
tilizers that are of value to the farmer
can be spread upon the surface, and by
means of the falling dews and rains
they are carried to the roots of the
grass-the very point where fertility is
useful. Such fertilizers being largely
soluble their effects are active but not
permanent For permanence there is
nothing better than ordinary farm
manure applied as q top-dressing. But
in order that it may be no obstruction
to the use of the mower or rake, it
should be thoroughly decomposed by
means of composing or else by being
worked over sufficiently to induce
such fermentation as is necessary to
break it down and make it fine so as to
spread more evenly. Farmers who
have not tried this mode of maintain
ing meadows will be surprised at the
result. Fields in which the crop of
grass is light, by small annual top
dressing of wen-pulverized manure
will produce a great increase from year
to year. 1t is question if this is not
the best mode of enrichment the farmer
can employ in case of such fields as
have been described.-Cor. Rural Net0
Yorker.

When to Water Horses.

Horses are provided with an unusually
large development of the salivary glands,
and an enormous quantity of saliva is
secreted during the eating of feed of
grain or hay. This copious supply of
saliva is amply sufficient to moisten and
dilute the food, so that it can be digest
ed perfectly without the help of water.
Water is absorbed by the coats of the
stomach and enters the blood with such
rapidity that thirsty horse will drink
in two minutes considerably more water
than the stomach will contain at one
time, and the water begins to pass off
through the kidneys in such a case after
the lapse of few minutes. So that,
knowing these facts one may reasona-
bly, infer that horse may be watered a
few minutes before feeding with more adj
vantage than soon afterwards, because
in the former case the water has been
absorbed before the food is swallowed,
and digestion cannot be interfered
with by the presence of too much water
in the stomach, as might happen in the
latter case. The best practice is that
usually followed, viz, to give the horse
q very little water on starting out to
work after feeding in the morning; to
water on coming in at noon and in the
evening, before Embarrassing and feed
ing. This gives time for the absorption
of the water before the food enters the
stomach.-RtrGl Nes0 Yorker.

Wholesome Cellars.

DR.. Dempsey, of Indiana, referring
to an inquiry in the Tribune in regard
to the ventilation of cellars. shows that
there should be such ventilation, not
only to clear out the carbonic acid and
other products of the decay of vegeta-
BILE matters too often allowed there,
but also to render the air drier. Damp
air in the cellar may occasion damp and
cold floors above, and cold feet, espe-
cially in the house, may be the begin
ming of congestion, catarrh, earache.
diphtheria, etc. He suggests running
a separate fiue of the chimney into the
cellar, and tapping it there by large
opening. This will serve its purpose,
provided that the fiue is large, and is
warmed by continuous smoke fiues so
as to create q draft, but otherwise it
will be of little use. 1t is easy enough
by carelessness to cause the cellar to
become source of troublesome disease
in the house; and, conversely, it re-
quires only little forethought and
care, especially if the start is made
with the beginning of the foundation
walls, to render the cellar entirely
wholesome. These walls should be la d
on a bed of stone without cement. SO
as to torm O drain all around the cellar,
from the lowest part of which the wa
ter that may collect should be carried
off in any suitable manner. Windows
of good size should be set on all sides
of the cellar, with stout netting cover
ing the frames, so that they can be left
open at any time without danger of the
entrance of vermin. If there is to be
only sweetness and wholesomeness in
the cellar, window ventilation must be
resorted to more or less, even If at the
sacrifice of some GOODNESS in summer.
But the drier the cellar and the more
carefully any and every form of decay
ing vegetable matter is excluded, the
less will it be necessary to keep open
windows. y Tribune.

TWO Enrlishmen reeentlr returned

Two Englishmen recently returned
to st. Petersburg from successful bear
hunting expedition in Russia, after an
absence Of three weeks, during which
they travelled one thousand five hun
dred versts in sledges and one hundred
and fifty in snow shoes, through dense
tangled forests, over frozen marsh and
lake, the thermometer often standing
below zero. In the course of twelve
days actually devoted to hunting they
killed with spear and gun nofewer than
twenty-three bears of all sizes, to the
great satisfaction of the peasants, whose
crops and live stock suffer heavily every
year from the ravages of these animals.
