MANAGEMENT OF HORSES.

Horses can be educated to the extent
of their understanding, as children, and
can be easily damaged or ruined by bad
management. We believe that the Diff
ference found in horses as to vicious
habits and reliability comes much more
from the different management of men
than from the variance of natural dispo-
sition in animals. Horses of high metal
are more easily educated than those of
less or dull spirits, and are more sus-
ceptible to ill-training, and consequent
ly may be made good or bad according
to the education they receive. Horses
with dull spirits are not by any means
proof against bad management, for in
them may be found the most provoking
obstinacy; vicious habits of different
characters that render them almost en-
tirely worthless. Could the coming gen.
erations of horses in this country be
kept from their days of colthood to the
age of 5 years in the hands of good,
careful managers, there would be seen
a vast difference in the character of
these noble animals. If colt
is never allowed to get an ad-
vantage it will never know that it
possesses a power that man cannot
control, and if made familiar with
strange objects it will not be skittish
and nervous. If a horse is made ac-
customed from his early days to have
objects hit him on the heels, back or hip,
he will pay no attention to the giving
way of harness or q wagon running
against him at an unexpected moment.
We once saw an aged lady drivinga a high
spirited horse attached to a carriage

OF CLASSIC ORIGIN,

Few ladies who wear polka dots have
any knowledge of their classic origin.
The polka dot, we are told by learned
correspondent, is copy of the ancient
shrysoclavus, or golden nail head.
whiah IN early church times was one
of the smhlamatic ornaments embroid-
cred IN ecclesiastical vestnants and
robes. and later a purple patch like a
broad naA head was worn upon the
outer garmsnts by the old Roman dig
nitaries- At first it was observed as a
mark of dignity, and "clavi" of gold on
rich silken textiles OF Tyrian dye could
be worn only by the mobiles. Imbued by
a spirit Of emulation, the wealthy then
demanded silken stuffs sprinkled all
over with large round spots; and so,
from the sacred chrysoclavus, or golden
nail head, we have come in modern
times to bestrew our cotton dresses with
polka dots.

FAST TRAINS ON ENGLISH AND
AMERICAN RAILWAYS

A critical examination of the speed Of
the English railroad trains, writes cor
respondent, does not sustain the COM
monly-accepted notion of their great
velocity, nor prove that progress in ac-
celebrating speed which was to be looked
1or In the country where the railroad was
born and Graded. The famous " FLYING
Dutchman" on the Great Western rail-
road makes the run from London to Ex-
eter, 194 miles, in four hours and four
teen minutes. With four stops. il at
tains speed of almost forty-six miles
an hour. A train on the Great Northern
road, the " Leeds express" does better.
1t makes the distance from London to
Leeds, 1877 miles, in four hours-almost
forty seven miles an hour, with four
stops. The train carrying the Irish mail
to Holyhead, over theLondon and North
western line, and dubbed years ago
"The Wild Hishman," has now sunk
into comparative obscurity with it's rate
OF little less than forty miles an hour.
The competition over several of the
great lines to the populous Scotch cities
leads to some fast schedules. The morn
ing express on the Great Northern road
makes only four stops along the line
from London to Edinburgh, 395 miles,
and flies over the whole distance in nine
hours, with an average rate of almost
forty-four miles an hour and on the Mid
land line the night Scotch express runs
the 425 miles to Glasgow with speed of
forty and one-haf miles an hour. These
are the four swlftest trains in England,
and, as will be seen, the Leeds express,
with its rate of forty-seven miles an
hour, is the fieetest of them all. Three
out of the four trains probably beat the
running time for the same distance on
any other roads in the world. They are
all, however, far outstripped for shorter
distance by the train on the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad which leaves Jersey City at
4:10 p. m. and makes the run of about
eighty-eight miles to Philadelphia 100
minutes, with one stop, at Trenton.
The ffty-two and eight-tenths miles an
hour made by this American train is
probably without parallel in the sched-
ule time OF any railroad company on
the globe. 1t may be mentioned that
the fast trains of the Pennsylvania and
Vanderbilt roads between New York and
Chicago compare well as to time with
the long runs on the English and Scotch
lines, and more than double them as to
distance. On both the American and
English system of railroads it must also
be remembered that for short stretches
of straight track, with good roadbed
and favoring grades, speed OF sixty
miles or more an hour is not very un-
common. The ordinary time of passen-
ger trains on the British railroads does
not vary much, if any, from the speed
of the corresponding trains on our steel
rallied lnes-about thirty-fve miles an
hour for express, and twenty-five for
accommodation trains.

SMOKER'S CAT4RRH.

The British Medical Journal asserts
that the local effect of tobaccs on the
muccos membrane Of the nose, throat
and ears is as predisposing to catarrhal
diseases as is inefficient and insufficient
clothing in the case of women-the fact
being that such effect on the mucous
membrane of the superior portion of the
respiratory tract causes more perman-
ent relaxation and congestion than any
other known agent. Therefore, as to-
bacco depresses the system while it is
producing its pleasurable sensation, and
as it prepares the mucous membrane to
take on catarrhal inflammation from even
slight exposure to cold, the Jour7,al
thinks it should require no further evi-
dence to show that its use ought to be
discontinued by every catarrhal patient.

Pound for pound, fish is fully as nu-
tritious as butchers meat. It may not
seem SO satisfying, but that is because
the sense of satisfaction which we expe-
rience in eating is the result Of supply
ing the stomach with food, and In no de
rect or immediate way related to the
nourishment of the organism as whole.
Very few of the solid substances we eat
are digested, even so far as the stomach
is concerned, in less than an hour, and
nutrition cannot commence until after
digestion has proceeded for some time.
1t follows that the feelings of satisfac-
tion produced by solid food during s.
meal must be due to the appeasing OF
those cravings which are set up in the
stomach rather than the supply of the
needs of thesystem; inasmuch as butch
ers' meat is easier of digestion than fish,
and it gives the stomach much more to
do, it is easy to say why it seems, at the
moment, more satisfying. Looking to
the ultimate purpose of nutrition, fish is
the better kind of food it is more read
lily and completely reduced in the ston
ach, and nourishes the organism more
thoroughly, and with less physical in
convenience, than the flesh Of warm
blooded animals. A common error in
the use of fish is the failure to recognize
that there are two distinct classes of this
staple, looked at as food. In one clasg,
which may be represented by the mack
erel and the salmon, the oil and fat are
distributed throughout the flesh, while
of the other, of which the cod and the
whiting may be taken as examples, the
oil and fat are found almost exclusively
in the internal organs, notably the liver.
Now, the oil and fat are necessary, and
If the fish is not cooked and eaten whole,
or nearly so, these most important parts
are wasted. In cleansing fish, as little
as possibleEshould be removed. This is
point of the highest practical moment.
Fishmongers and cooks need to be in
structed afresh on the subject. To
omit any portion of the liver of cod in
preparing the dish for the table is to
throw away great delicacy. A Gods
liver properly dressed is dish for a
gourmet. It is inexplcable how any
thing so nauseous as the " "cod-liver oil !"
of the chemist and druggist can be pre-
pared from anything SO nice as the liver
of cod. Housekeepers and those who pur-
vey for the table should take care that
nothing edible in a fish is sacrificed.
For cooking purposes it may be as
sumed that the fish is not only good
food, but food of the best description,
well able to supply the needs of the sys-
TEN, and particularly easy of digestion.
1t is equally serviceable for the weakly
as for the robust, the young as the old.
