Horse Points.

All agree, says a writer in the Agri-
cultural Gazette, it is action in the horse
that sells. This is obtained when we
have the complemental power in the
muscles, the greatest leverage from the
bones and quality in the tendons; health
in the ligaments and truth in the dispo-
sition of the limbs. We adjudicate on
the horses headquarters as a whole.
All horses with any pretensions to quail
ity or family possess length and
straightness from the hips to the tail.
This is especially graceful and horizon
tai in the thoroughbred.
/. Length from hip to hook is the cri-
teriOn both of speed and power; all
horses of value are ssweli let down. in
their quarters, affordlng increase of
length and volume in the muscles,
power and speed accruing. The haunch-
bone and the thighbone-the first strong
and long, the second strong, of average
length; this naturally varies with breed,
but in all classes it is most important that
the thigh '.be well let down into the
hock;" muscular development here
cannot be too ssimmense." Good gas
kins afford material help for getting
through the dirt.
2. At the articulation of the haunch
and thighbone we find the stifie tn situ
A good one, without exception, is high
up, abutting the flank. This is the con-
centration of power in all classes; it is
certain sign that the haunchbone is
well sloped forward, and that the
thighbone is well carried back.
5. The hook we have previously de-
termined on. but as in the forelegs. l
counsel young beginners to avoid weak,
ll-defned knees; so here, have as little
to do with horses whose os calcis, or
point of the hook is ill-defined. Re-
member puff and gum is weakness Sc
cure hooks that are well defined. The
os calcis contributes leverage; it is evil

Lemonade.

We are assured that it is becoming
the polite thing to set forth lemonade
for the refreshment of callers at many
of our fine residences. A very tasteful
arrangement in the form of miniature
sideboard, or something of that nature.
contains the glasses, the sugar and the
supply of fragrant lemons; also hand
some appliances for cutting and squeez-
ing the lemon, etc. Each guest is ten
dered a glass freshly made, and the
quality Of the beverage equals the
beauty of the arrangements for its COM
pounding. We are glad this is bccom-
ing the proper thing to do, for it is the
most sensible thing which has of late
been reported as fashionable. The juice
of the lemon is far more healthful than
many drinks. and if the custom becomes
prevalent, it will result in general bodily
well being. More than this, it will
largely increase the local demand for
good lemons, and thus make profitable
the plantations of the improved lemons
which are now being made. Ventura

Fear Of Disease.

1t is said that while the plague was
raging in Buenos Ayres, the gravedig-
gers bore charmed lives. OF the 800
men so employed moi one died of the
disease.
1t has often been noticed that during
the prevalence of presidential diseases,
physicians. undertakers, nurses and
grave-diggers. whose business CON-
PEELED constant liability to infection,
have usually escaped in far greater
ratio than their numbers would war
rant. The charm of this immunity
from the prevailing scourge is very
simple. They are not scared They
are positire to the disease. and repel its
attacks. Fear is great ally of death.
Whoever is afraid of disease is in neg
aticc condition, and really invites its APP
proach.
And thus it is the world over. The
brave die but once, while towards die
many times.
Much unnecessary alarm exists in
every community in regard to many dis
eases. We are, it is true, all liable to
sickness and death. But If we are all
sober. clearly and brave of heart, we
need have no fear of disease of body or
mind. Golden Rssle.

Colors Of the different Races.

The color of the skin, that important

by looking at the darkest variety. The

TINT ever extend over the negro's whole
body, but his sOles and palms are brown.
The coloring of the dark races appears
to be similar in nature to the TEN porarv
freckling and sunburning of the fair
white race. On the whole. it seems
that the distinction of color. from the
fairest Englishman to the darkest Afri.
can. has no hard and fast lines. but
varies gradually from one tint to an
other.
The natural hue of skin farthest fror,
that OF the negro is the complexion of
the fair race OF Northern Europe. Of

fair-whites Of Northern Europe and the
dark-whites of Southern Europe, passes
10 the brownish-yellow of the Malavs,
and the full-brown of American tribes,
the deep-brown of Australians and the
black-brown of negroes. Until mod
ern times these race -tints have
generally been described with too
little care. Now. however, the trav-
eler, by using Broca's set of pattern
colors, records the color of any tribe he
is observing, with the accuracy of a
mercer matching piece of silk. The
evaporation from the human skin is ac-
companied by n smell which differs in
different races. This popularity, which
not only indicates difference in the Sc.
