Points About a Horse.

The weak points of horse can be better discovered while standing than while moving. If he is sound he will stand firmly and squarely on his limbs without moving any of them, the feet planted firmly upon the ground, with legs plumb and naturally poised. If one foot is thrown forward with the toe pointing to the ground and the heel raised, or if the foot is lifted from the ground and the weight taken from it, disease may be suspected, or at least tenderness, which is precursor of dis ease. If the horse stands with his feet spread apart, or straddles with the hind legs, there is a weakness in the Joins and the kidneys are aptto be disordered. Heavy pulling bends the knees. Bluish or milky cast eyes in horses indicate moon blindness, or something else. A bad tempered horse keeps his ears thrown back. A kicking horse is apt to have scared legs. A stumbling horse has blemished knees. When the skin is rough and harsh, and does not move easily and smoothly to the touch, the horse is 8 heavy eater and his digestion is bad. Never buy horse whose res
 piratory organs are at all impaired,
 Place your ear at the side of the heart.
 and if wheezing sound is heard it is
 an indication of trouble-let him go.

An Old New Hampshire Homestead.

The Portsmouth Chronicle says :- One of the cld homes leads of the town of Hampton has recently passed from the family name-a name which had been held from the first settlement of the town in 1889. The first house built on the place was burned in 1877. By the help of the inhabitants of the town another house was immediately put up, and stood for 105 years. This house was taken down in 1782, and another one built on the same site, the third house being still standing and in good state of preservation. During the PAP years there have been forty-four births and nineteen deaths on the place of persons bearing the family name. Four of the deaths were of infants, two of persons of adult age, and thirteen of persons of mature years the average age of the thirteen was 79 years, and the average age of eleven of the thirteen was 84 years. Mrs. Susan Page, the last to hold the place in it's old name, died last April at an advanced age. Her two daughters, Mrs. Cole and Mrs. Get chell, now hold it.

His Reward.

The glittering rewards of the law, says the Boston Journal, are well known, and yearly tempt into 8 practice of the legal profession hosts of ambitious and zealous young men. One of these, who has been engaged in this liberalizing and lucrative pursuit for a year or two, was met trudging home to Charlestown at o'clock the other day in the blind ing midst of heavy snow storm. On being asked what important interest had drawn him away from his office during the busiest hour of the day, he said: "Well, I thought I could save more money by going home and shovel ing off my sidewalk than I could earn by spending the afternoon in my prac. tice," and, thus saying, he disappeared amid the whirling clouds of snow. When it is taken into consideration that the cost of hiring an athletic laborer to clear a sidewalk of snow varies from ten to twenty-ive cents, the vast dimensions of that young mans income from tho law may be partly appreciate d.

' Density Of the Earth.

Herr von Jolly, of Munich, has been applying the balance to ascertain the density of the earth. The balance used yas, placed in the upper part of 8 tow CT, and from each of the scales depend edS wire, through zinc tube; having aeecond scale at the lower end, 21 ,005 metres below. These lower scales were 102 m. from the ground, so that lead ball one metre in diameter might be brought under one of them. A body brought from an upper. scale into a lower one has an increase of weight corresponding to its degree of approach to the earth's center and to the increase of cacc Iteration. When the lead ball is brought under the same lower scale it's pull is added. The difference of the fncrements of weight, with and without the lead ball, indicates the amount of pull ef the latter, and the quotient of this pull and that of the earth alone furnishes a means with the law of kravitation) of comparing the density of the earth with that of the lead, and theGlattef being known, of determining the mean density of the earth. The author finds the mean density to be 5.692, with 8 probable error of not more than 0O68 either way. This agrees more or less with other deter. minations; but from the mean of those with the torsion balance it diverget about 2iper cent.

Disappearing Seats.

Theatre seats which disappear into the floor on occasion when it is desired to leave the auditorium free, or in case of fire or psnic, are the invention of 8 New York genius. The idea, however, is not new. At least one such seat has recently been noticed in theatre in Boston. A fat man weighing about two hundred and sixty five pounds discov- cred it. He sat down composedly just after the first act had begun, and five minutes thereafter there was an omi- nous breaking, a crash and the smothered maledictions of corpulent auditor as he struggled upon the floor amid the wreck of the concern. Provi- dentially as it would seem to some, he had placed his silk hat under the seat, and this somewhat broke his fall cor relatively, also, the fall very consider ably broke his hat. The fat man, how ever, took the matter good humoredly, and, grimly remarking that he didn't wear crush hat for the sake of style, he jammed the dents out of his beaver as best he could, and sought tho services of hatter's smoothing iron.

A Bad Case of GlOhuS,

Dr. Myers, of Paterson, N. J., was recently summoned in great haste, at midnight, to see woman who was suf- fering the most excruciating agonies from having swallowed set of false up per teeth, sixteen in number. Several women were about her, who had been called in to help her. Anodynes were administered to relieve her temporarily. Dr. Myers then closely scrutinized her mouth and throat, but could find no evidence of laceration. Moreover, she could swallow readily. He suggested that the teeth might have been mislaid, but this was indignantly secuted by the attendantsJ who declared that they had searched the house from top to bottom. A further search under the pillow failed to disclose the missing property, and the case began to look serious, as the poor woman declared that she could not stand it any longer, as she felt the edge of the teeth cutting into the sides of her stomach. Finally, at the suggestion o1 the doctor, the inside of one of the pil. low-cases was examined, and there the teeth were found, perfectly safe and harmless. f. q. a..,..
 The patient, who had, Q moment be- fore, been suffering from the laceratlor of the teeth ''against the edges of hel stomach" recovered instantly, and the doctor was promptly dismissed.-Medi

aHs Valentines Turkeys.

Senator Anthony is credited with presenting each of his colleagues in the Senate with g splendid Thanksgiving turkey, the product of his farm, causing annually much surprise that so many magnificent gobblers could be raised in such small State as Rhode Island. It appears, however, that the Senator is not the only Congressman who makes turkey presentations. Representative Valentine, of Nebraska, has engaged in 8 similar practlce for some years. Christmas is his day for the distribu- tion of gifts, and the recipients are the preachers and editors of West Point, the contemplating Nebraska City which he calls his home when not in Wash ington. Even as the butternut candy made by the Vermont lady tickled the palate and inspired the quill of Senator Edmunds, and was voted as dish to set before the President, the mastica- tion of the juicy turkey-the cooking was probably perfection-of the Nebraska Representative sent thrill of delight through the frame of the editor of the West Point Republican. He can not contain his words, and therefore with grateful heart and full stomach he acknowledges the generous and appetizing gift and talks turkey" after the fashion:
 Congressman Valentine, in accord ance with his old-time custom, pre- scented the preachers and editors of West Point with turkeys on Christmas, for which he has the thanks of the ministerial and editorial profession here abouts. Turkeys are always very ac- ceptable presents to, editors and preach CTS, and the donor will be held in grate- full remembrance. There is nothing small about ,"Val"r but his feet, and newspaper men and expounders of the Gospel are not the only ones who will testify to his large-hearted iberality. We mean it as no ";taffy" when we say that our Stalwart Congressman has one of the, biggest and warmest hearts that ever beat in manly bosom, and it is this which has endeared him to his friends, as it will any man. ..-.... .-..,.,..
 MT. Valentine, after reading this glowing tribute to him and his turkey, will most assuredly open his heart and send two turkeys to the Republican office next Christmas.

Good Living Easily Got.

In @ recent communication to the San Francisco Bulletin. MT. J. B. Rum ford, of Bakersfield, Kern County, Cal, asserts that man can earn enough there by fifteen days of "o ordinary labor" to keep him in the best of food for a year. He says: "I find that three of us, a growing boy of seventeen years, my wife and self, do not alto gether use on an average more than one and one-half pounds of wheat or other grain per day, and though supplied with Seckel, Winter Nellis, and other pears, peaches. apples, Muscat grapes, and other fruit-not more than eight pounds of fruit per day-thus making total expense of 24 cents for grain and 16 cents for fruit per day. So we have total of 1s4 cents per day, or $66.6O per year, or $22.20 for each person; and as wages here for ordinary work are $1. 50 per day (if you board yourself), it would take less than fifteen days labor to provision each one 8 year on full supply of the best grain and choicest fruits, giving the best health and gusta- tory pleasure; and as in the experiment we used them all uncooked, the only work of preparation necessary to be | performed was a few minutes time each day preparing the grain in steel hand, mill, not equal to more than five min utes' for each person"
 Living in this way all the family gained in health. MT. Rumford adds
 1T was, in two weeks, completely curee of dyspepsia, that has troubled m' from boyhood until nearly fifty years O age, and my spectaoles, which had be come constant companions, were nearl. put aside, and with them all an increas
 of mental if not of physical ability Any one, from one acre we'll cultivate' in fruits and grain, with one hour
 work each day, can be supplied with
 most wholesome and delightful diet
 the finest fruits and continue in goo
 health; and one hour more, we'll az
 piled, will furnish good comfortabl
 clothing. Why need it longer be sai man is subject to the curse of earnin
 his bread by the sweat of his brow ?"

The New Navy.

The New York Herald tells us what it wants the new United States navy to be: The new navy must not be of wood, but of iron or steel. The new ships should be cruisers hense they must be fast-faster than anything now aaoat. They must have large coal car rying capacity. They need no masts or spars, except enough to lie to under, in a heavy gale of wind. One heavy rifed gun, of the most powerful kind for long range and penetration of shot, is all that such ship needs, for she is not going to fight except when she wants to and at her own distance. And for crew she consequently needs only one guns crew. .a.,-
 This is sufficient description of the new navy this country requires. The Naval Advisory Board has reported in favor of such navy in part and so far it's report is excellent. But, as we have often urged, we need no ten or twelve knot ships in the new navy. The test of one of our new naval vessels ought to be that she should beat a Ounard or White Star liner on a voyage across the Atlantic. If she cannot do that she is not fit for the only uses which will be required of our new navy.
 We do not entirely agree with the Advisory Boards report, either in its determination of the size of the new ships. Some, they think, should be of five thousand tons, some of thirty-hve hundred, and so on. But why The vessels of the new navy should be fast the fastest on the ocean. If to achieve this greatest speed and combine with it great and sufficient coal carry ing capacity they must be of five thou sand tons, then let them all be of that size. But if ship of a thousand tons can combine these two qualities and carry the, required heavy gun, then there is no reason why one ship in the new navy should exceed 8 thousand tons. We repeat, what is required is a floating gun, carriage, fast and with room for plenty of fuel.
 Such 8 ship needs but small crew forty men and ten officers can manage the gun, and she should have no more. The new navy is not intended for fleet fighting; it is not intended for hand to hand conflicts. It is intended to at tack the enemy where he IS weakest in his commerce and to attack this not on the broad ocean, but by hover ing about his ports and destroying hh ships as they near their home with sup plies. Twenty or thirty of such ship as our new navy ought to have would SCOUT the British Channel or the moutl of the Mediterranean, and burn, sinl and destroy in a week fleets worth man. millions That is the naval war of tn future, for the United States at least which are protected by the breadth o the Atlantic from any attacks on ou ports that torpedoes and heavy hoatinI
 batteries cannot repel, and which hay no ocean commerce and are not likely t.
 have any while the present policy con
 tinues.

MATCHES. Some idea of the size of match trade may be gained by glance at the figures paid for stamps. The Government exacts a revenue of one cent per 100 on matches manufactured. During the year ending May, 1881, one company paid for stamps $4,5OO, 900. This year the amount paid will be in- creased $50,O0O. There are two hun dred matches in box. The tax is two cents; they are sold to the grocer for three cents, and retailed at five. Four million five hundred thousand dollars represent 455, ,O0O, 900 one-cent stamps. As stamp represents 100 matches, the grand total manufactured is 45, GOO, ,000,- 900 matches, or 277,500,O00 fve.cent boxes.
