work performed by the more vigorous diges-
tive power Of the lower animals.
Cooking however, is not the offspring of
science, but it has come to us from the &c.
cumulated experience of the race. Hence
fruits are not generally cooked, for experience
has shown them to be equally digestible
whether cooked or uncooked; and science

The only animal food we eat raw is the
oyster; and science now tells us that 1t con-
tains within itself n bag of fluid (diastase)
which digests it as soon as the teeth break

boiled it must be digested by our own
stomachs, like all animal food.
The popular practice had been to boil eggs,
but notion for time prevailed that they
were much easier Of digestion raw. Science
now justities the old-time practice, finding
that raw albumen, of which the egg largely
consists, is very slowly acted on by the diges.

digested when cooked.
We cook meats, and science shows that
they are not simply softened and disintegrat.

disgestible substances.
In cooking wheat and other farinaceous
foods, the gluten is similarly changed into a
substance much more easily digested, while
the starch is also thereby freed from the en-

The Color of Horses.

This is Il subject to which we may perhaps
attach more importance than is generally ac-
corded.it. 1t has passed into proverb that
"a good horse cannot be Of bad color" We
shall, however, merely give what, in our ex
perience, are good colors and what bad-not
looking TO the color as influencing the
strength or good qualities of the animal, but
as an index to its constitution. Now, Il
light chestnut sorrel, with white legs and
feet, naturally suggests the idea that he is
week, washy brute; while, on the other hand
a dark chestnut, with darker points, gives
Immediately the impression of good consti-
ton. We believe these opinions, however
conveyed, are proved to be perfectly right
There are, Of course, exceptions, but
we take the rule, Again, a bay horse,
with black points, or even with white
leg or two, is q very good color; 30 Is
a dark and notified brown, in fact, there
is none better bat no color is certain
guarantee of quality although as we before
said, we look upon it as q not unreliable in
dex. For many purposes q gray color is
looked upon as q drawback, and so is that
Of "yaller" We never heard of any objec-
tions to the black color, nor do we know Of
any. Some horses are said to show "charac-
ter" in their coloring, as, for instance, a bull
terrier does with patch over his eye. Thus
brown or black horse, with three white legs
and blaze, although not the perfection of
marking, gives such quaint appearance that
the animal is instinctively, and rightly, put
down as having character" about him, and
is often very good horse. As rule, it will
be seen that we look upon dark brown, dark
chestnut, and light bay as the best colors, i'm
plying blood and good constitutions, and the
less white they have about them the better
White feet are particularly Objectionable, as
they are generally inclined to be fiat and
weak; and horse which shows much white
about his eyes is often tricky, sometimes'a
bad feeder and sometimes vicious.

On one of the railroads running out of
Detroit the passenger train made sudden
halt between stations the other day, and an
old woman, who was travelling with the usual
complement ofparcels, whirled herself around
and inquired of the passenger behind;
"Have we colided with anything?"
81 guess not"
"Then what did we stop for?"
"There was a calf on the track, | believe"
That satisfied her for a time, but in half an
hour there was another stop to pack hot
journal.
"What on airth is the matter now ?" she
inquired as she tried to push up the window.
Nothing-nothing- COW on the
track" he replied, as he continued his read
ing.
The third halt was made just outside of
station for wood, and as she heard the whis-
tie and felt the train slowing down, she got
brace for her feet and called out:
First calf and then a COW, and now they
are going to bump right into yoke of oxen

The sweet-voiced bird that sang in spring-time

Came not to waken echoes silvery flow;
And all the Earthland's sprlnging flower treas

A REMEDY FOR Potato BUGs.-Iroy's
Press tells of farmer who has tried a new
remedy for potato bugs with success. He
procured number of boards and placed them
here and there among his potatoes and on
these boards were placed raw potatoes sliced.
AT noon on the first day of the experiment he
and his hired man found every piece of potato
covered with bugs. The man killed this crop
and at night another crop was killed, though
not so large, and in a weeks time not bug
could be seen and his trouble with bugs after
this was comparatively small. In the spring,
he says, is the best time to attend to bugs, as
spring bug he understands, breeds from 800
to 500 during the potato season. He thinks
it would be a good plan to dip the piece of
potato in Paris green as it would save the
work of killing them.

The canes which are to grow and bear fruit
the second year, come from buds that start
below ground, and commence their growth
very early in spring. When the shoots first
start they are exceedingly tender, and are
liable to be broken in handling and in trans
portation. For this reason we have advised
planting in autumn. But it is better to plant
the coming spring than to wait for next fall
and the earlier in the season it can be done,
the better. The only use Of the piece of old
cane given by nurscrymen with the root is
as handle in planting. The useful growth
comes from the underground shoots-Amer1-

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.


Somerville- was the scene ola fear
full tragedy Monday night. Mr..
james ". Burton was shot and kill
ed Ivy Prof. w. II. 1harp, President
Of the Somerville Female College.
The circumstances, so far as we feel
justified in publishing them prior to
"a legal investigation, arc az follows:
Burton AMI Tharp were brothers in
law. For some time past there had
been a coldness between them, the
cause Of which is not known to the
public. Monday MIR. Burton de-
nounced Prof. Tharp on the streets
in bitter terms and threatened to kill
him Fhe denphciations, threats aud
charges we're Of such charaC ter that
he public were inn 20 ed with the
fact that they would produce, serious
results. Though the influence OF
their respective friends they were
kept apart until late hour Monday
evening, Prof. Tharp went to his
home atthe Female college; and It
was supposed the affair was at an
end for the day. About nine o'clock
Monday night Mr.. Burton was in
Watkins Billiard saloon, engaged in
q game of billiards. Prof Tharp
stepped inside the saloon door. armed
with double-barrelled shot gun
which he lcvelCd and fired. and MFR
Burton fell, the shot taking effect in
his nose, face, neck and shoulder. He
never spoke and expired i'm about
thirty minutes, Only one shot was
fred.
Mr.. Burton was carried TO his resi-
dence in South SOmeIville from which
place his burial took place to-day
and was largely attended by our best
citizens. Religious services were con
ducted at tho residence by Rev. n
nj. Long and concluded at the grave
by Rev. II, VI. Faris. pastor of the
Presbyterian church.
Mr.. Burton was a man Of an ex-
eeedingly sensitive nature, was bold
and fearless and, when angry, des-
perate and regardless of consequent
ces. AS Il friend, he was true, ardent
and generous, 'Gnd as foe bitter and
unrelenting. On his faults We have
n0ught to say. Like all men lie had
them; but let them be buried with
him. Ofwhat might lie said 10 his
credit, it would lie Of no sv:il t.
speak now that he is no more. He
was member Of the Knights OF Hon.
or and Knights of Pvthias, holding
his membership in both CT .ors IN

four children,

but resolute man. Up to this unfor-
tunate affair, so fai as we know, h,
hns never been engag ed in a Difficult
~ Of any kind.
The terrible affair is greatly deplor
ed aud has cast Il gloom over tn,
