THE EFFECT ON DELINaUENTs.

The question of what effect the en-
largement of the paperand the increase
in the subscription price will have on
those who are in arrears will naturally
occur to many. Much thought has been
given to this point, and the publisher
has finally come to this conclusion
All those who are delinquent and will
pay up before the first day of October
will be given the benefit of the $l.5C
rate, and will be credited for one veal
| from the time.of their last credit upon
receipt of that amount.
The paper has been continued to some
who are several months delinquent, and
while such is not the usual manner OF
conducting subscription list, it hardly
seems right that they should be asked to
pay more than the advertised price dur
ing the time of their delinquency.
Those wishing to have the paper con-
tinued can do so by taking advantage OF

Labor and Food.


The human body never ceases to work
Even in the most profound slumber
some of the functions of life are going
ON, as, for instance, breathing, the cir
culation of the blood, disgestion, when
there is food in the stomach; and it fol-
lows that some part of the nervous system
is therefore awake and attending to bust
ness all the day and night long. In the
act of living, some of the substance of
the body is being constantly consumed.
The amount of work done by the heart
in one day in prOpelling the blood is
now estimated as equal to the work of a
steam engine in raising 125 tons one foot
high. or one ton 125 feet high. We
lose in weight by working. Weigh a
man after several hours hard labor,
and he will be found two or three, and
in extreme cases, several pounds lighter.
If we do not wish to become bankrupt,
we must replace by food the amount we
have lost by labor Hunger and thirst
are the instincts which prompt us to do
this. They are like automatic alarm
clocks, which stop the engine at various
points to take on fuel and water. In a
healthy man as much is takenin as is
required to maintain the weight of the
body against loss. Nature keeps the ac-
count. On one side is so much food
spent in work; on the other, so much
received into the stomach for digestion.
They should balance like the accounts
of an honest bOok-keeper. In an un-
healthy person the instinct of hunger
becomes diSordered and does not sOund
the alarm, and so the person goes on
working without eating until he becomes
pauperized; or the instinct works too
frequently. A calculation of the bust
ness done in the body reveals the fact
that for hard working person about
eight and a-halfpounds of food and drink
are used up daily; some bodies use
more and some less, but this is the
average. The profit which the body
gets on this transaction has been cali
culated, and may interest our readers.
The energy stored up in the eight and a.
half pounds of food ought to raise 3, 400
tons one foot high. Most of this energy,
however, is expended in keeping the
body warm and its functions active.
About one-tenth can be spent in our
bodily movements or in work The
profit, then, on the process is about ten
per cent. This is enough to raise $40
tons one foot high each day. A profit
which is quite enough for earning a
good living if rightly expended, and it
is proably more than most make but
all ought to strive to reach this point if
possible. -Scle ntifc american.

Giving Young Colts a Start.


Crossing to secure size has done much
towards creating certain kinds of horse
stock that are greatly larger than the
stock from which they originated. But
this could never have been accomplished
had not this breeding for size been prac-
ticed by men who fed well from the Start;
acting upon the truism that light feed
ing gives scant growth. While it is not
expected that any man will attempt to
secure a growth of twelve hundred
pounds on an animal bred to have only
ten hundred and fifty, when matured,
still, as stated, the symmetry of such q
horse depends largely upon his muscu-
lar growth having boon pushed to a
reasonable limit during the whole Of
his developing years, including his colt
hood, from the beginning. Full muscu-
lar vigor, ambition, and agility in his
movements, cannot be secured unless
he has been freely nourished and exer-
cised. The exercise is undeniably an
important factor; but bear in mind al
ways, that the colt will have neither
muscular tone nor courage to stand up
to his exercise, in the absence of full
rations 4f su.s- -.1an
1t is common saying, that a starvel-
ing colt, so called, grows one end one
year, and the other end the next year.
Certain it is that the insufficiently fed
colt becomes weak in his digestion,
hence does no make the most out of the
food given Not a little passes off
through the bowels, thus robbing the
tissues of their due. Exposure of the
colt to inclement weather while yet of
tender age enfeebles digestion, and in
terrupts the growth. No amount of
pushing, so far as the feed is concerned,
will avail anything while the disturbance
from this exposure continues, but will,
on the other hand, aggravate the diff
Guilty. The old Scotch saying, that
''the breed goes in at the mouth, while
very far from true, still shows quite
clearly that the Scotch discovered the
potent influence exerted by food in per-
fecting the forms of domestic animals.
