About the Watering of Horses.
New Yors Evangelist

When horse is thirsty his system
needs water. A part of pailful of
water, when horse is suffering from
thirst, will be quite as grateful and re-
freshing to the palate of the dumb brute
as a cooling draught of crystal water
right from the mountain spring refresh
es and invigorates the weary traveller.
A horse needs much more water DUR
ing day and night than most per-
sons are wont to suppose. When a
horse reeds water, if he does not receive
the needed supply, we have no idea of
the intense suffering which the poor
creature must endure. After a horse
has been driven until he perspires
freely there will be an imperative de-
mand for water to supply the place of
the liquid that has passed off through
the pores Of the skin; and after horse
has filed his stomach with dry feed a
little water is needed to promote diges-
ton, especially when the animal did
not receive generous supply before he
was fed. When the stomach and bow
els need more water they will have it.
if the supply must be taken out of the
skin. But when the digestive organs
must draw extensively on water that is
secreted in the tissues of the flesh and
muscles, we cannot compute the great
injury that must follow such an unnat-
ural way of obtaining a supply of water
which Is absolutely needed to promote
healthfu. and complete digestion. The
digestive organs cannot perform their
functions without water any more than
a fire can be made without wood or
coal. AS the stomach of the horse is
exceedingly small when compared with
the first stomach, or rumen, of meat
cattle, We perceive the vast importance
of supplying little water, and often,
rather than to permit the thirsty brute
to swallow several gallons at one draft
only once, or twice during twenty-four
hours. During period of more than
fifty years past have taken personal
care of horses, have owned and reared
horses, and have never had a sick horse
or one injured or disabled. My rule is
now, and ever has been, to water, feed,
and take good care of my horses before
| seek refreshments and comfort for
myself. When horses are watered
frequently they will drink only few
quarts at each draught. This is infinitely
better than TO allow them to gulp down
at one draught two or three pailfuls. 1t is
better to let horse drink at leas. a
pailful before eating than to drink CO.
piously after mis- meal. A large guam
/ tity of water after feeding will often
drive much of the feed from the stom-
ach before it is half digested.

Indian Tea,

Since 1860, when the imports of Indi-
an tea to England first reached 1000,
600 pounds, the growth of the trade
has been rapid and continuous. At
the end Of the first decade, in 1870, the
quantity imported was 100000
pounds, while last year, at the close of
the second decade, the imports were
100000 pounds, of the estimated
value of f3,000000. The area of land
now under plant is over 100000 acres,
representing an investment of British
capital to the extent of f15, 000,0 900, and
giving employment to a population of
over 100000 souls. The crop Of tea
this year is not likely to be less than
100000 pounds.
India can grow far better tea than
China can, and as the public learn this
fact, they will not be content with infe-
rior sorts, even when blended with In
dian, but will insist on having pure
Indian tea. The tea plant, as you are
aware, is acknowledged to be of Indian
origin, and is indigenous to Upper As
sam, from whence in bygone ages II
must have been introduced into China.

the available cash balance in the treas.
ury has not been near up to that point
anticipated, and, in spite of the various
inducements offered by the secretary
of the treasury, holders of bonds have
been SO slow IN transmitting them to
the department that the available cash
balance has kept about where it ought
to be, without any apparent prospect
OF Its speedy diminution. The result.
then, was clearly the accumulation in
the treasury vaults of larger amount
of money than was desired, and dan
ger of doing the very thing which the
secretary, above all, wished to avoid.
namely, to cause perceptiable influ-
ence upon the course of money trans
actions on account of his operations.
On August l, the debt statement
showed an available cash balance of
nearly $4,000, 600, and the receipts
have continued so large, in connection
with the slow presentation of bonds
that, at the close of business last night,
IN spite of all the payments thus far
made, the balance was found to be
still upward of Sl54,000,000. 1t is to
neutrallze this tendency and to pre-
serve the even tenor of the policy be-
lleved to be the best in treasury trans
actions, that the secretary has decided
to offer as an inducement for the
speedy presentation of the bonds under
the lO4th call, to pay them with inter-
est up to Oct. l, as soon as received.
1t is not believed at the Departments
that the stringency of the money mar
ket is nearly so urgent as is pretended
by Wall street capitalists, because if it
had been the case, that money was
scarce and the rate of interest was real
ly going up, then there was no rea-
son why they should not have readily
found relief in the presentation of
bonds for the payment of interest to
date, which was the previous offer,
since the difference between the
amount that would have been received
in interest under this plan and under
the present offer of waiver of rebate
would not have been so great as to
make it Improbable for holders of Sc
curities TO realize and turn their bonds
into money, had they expected an ur-
gent need for the use of the capital in
actual business transactions.
Now, however, there will be no
ground for further criticism, because if
money is really in urgent demand,
there will be nothing to hinder the
holders of bonds from sending their
securieties to the department, and re-
ceive not only the principal but the
interest in advance of oct. /.

Secretary WINDOWS Circular Concern
ing Payment of Bonds.

l WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.--It is expected
1T the treasury department that there
may be some criticism OF Secretary
WINDOWS course in offering to antici-
nate the interest In the payment Of the
bOnds under the one hundred-and-
purth call. in view of the fact that it
vas understood to be against the policy
Of the department to do anything that
might be construed as an interference
With the natural course of business. 1t
~ happened that the secretary found
Modvisable to adopt the course which,
u said, was desired by the Gould in
te4Dst, and opposed by the Keene par
t$T 1t is needless to say that the circu-
~ was issued without consideration
tx the desires of either, but for rea-
0cns that will be apparent upon re-
Mew of the progress of bond payment
thus far since July /. 1t is, and has
Always been, the policy of the depart
ment to prevent the accumulation of a
sSJarge cash balance in the treasury vaults,
B 20 that the business of the country
haight continue independent of the
Operations of the department. About
10 per cent of the amount of outstand-
ing legal tenders has been considered
rs the status of the available cash bal
1nce, which would amount to between
k130, 100000 and $140,000,000
k% During the closing months of the
saast fiscal year the available balance
twas allowed to increase materially, in
view of the anticipated payments of
bonds which fell due July 1, and which
Nmight or might not be present
& ed for payment speedily at
the discretion of the hold
ers. The debt statement for July /,
therefore, shows the available cash on
| hand to be nearly $171 100000 Had
l the holders of the 6's, which were not
continued, presented their bonds inn
kmediately for payment, this would have
caused the sudden reduction of this
amount to the extent of $4,000, 900.
But so slowly have the bonds been
coming in that up to-day only some
i Sl4 100000 of this amount have
q been paid. The coupon SIS
n payable August II amounted to
Y SO, 000,0 900, in addition TO those which

4 ance, and which are reissued in the

addition of the Oregon war debt, which

possible disbursements in bond pay
ment between July l and October /,
amounting to some S57 100000.
