Seasoning and Digestion.

An interesting report was read at the
astmeeting of the Academic des Sciences
describing some experiments with salt
and other seasonings in regard to their
effect upon the process of digestion,
which may be summed up as follows:
Seasonings are absolutely necessary to
digestion, and the exact amount neces-
sary is announced by what pleases the
taste. Salt in particular stimulates the
appetite, excites the secretion of the
gastric juice and aids in it's formation, as
the chlorhydric acid into which it
changes in the stomach is one of the
principal ingredients of the gastric juice.
These results only follow when the salt
is in minute quantities, not to exceed
five or ten grains to one-half kilogram of
meat; above this amount it is injurious,
not only hardening the fbres of the
meat. but arresting digestion and irrita-
ting the walls of the stomach. Some
pieces of meat were placed in vial of
artifcially prepared gastric juice after
they had been soaked few hours in
zine, brine, ETC.; the piece soaked in
white wine dissolved, or was digested,
at once, followed:by the piece soaked
in vinegar, while apiece soaked in brine
and one left untouched, required long
time before an imperfect digestion took
place.

Goals of Fire.

Ex-Gov. Horatio Seymour, Of New
York, who lives on farm near Utica, is
popular with the farmers about him.
He is always ready to lend a hand, as
the following anecdote of his heaping
Goals of fire upon an offender illustrates:
A story is told that man coming into
the city with load of wood broke down
on the Deerield road, whom no one
stopped to help or paid any attention to.
) Gov. Seymour came along, and got out
of his conveyance and helped him fix
up his wagon, gave him strap from his
own harness and sent him on his way.
The man afterward said, IL felt mighty
mean, because stole the wood from
the governor"
But the joke of the affair is that Gov.
Seymour knew all along that the wood
had been stolen from him, but he con-
cluded that the man wanted it more
than he did.

A Cnre Of Pneumonia.

Mr.. D. a. Barnaby, OF Osheg0, N. T.,

case up and said she could not live but q
few hours at most. She was in this oondi-

Horses With rheumatism

Horses are afflicted with rheumatism
brought on by exposure to cold storms
or from being left out in cold wind af-
ter being driven and heated. The usual
treatment is to give laxative medicines
for horse, aloes three to four drachms
at a time, then follow up with alkalies,
such as bicarbonate of potash. Small
doses of colchfcum are often beneficial
in one-halt drachm doses. Give warm
clothing and keep in warm stable at
first, or, in other words, treat horse
that has taken bad cold and has an at
tack of rheumatism just as you would
treat yourself in like case. The only
difference would be to give the larger
animal larger doses of medicine when
ever any are required.-N. Y. Sun.

Hannibal Halnlin's New Story of
Daniel Webster.


From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
"Wha, public man, Mr.. Hamlin was
the ablest that you ever found?"
daniel Webster lowered head and
shoulders above any of them. He was
one of those few men who became great
er as you approach him. That can he
said offew men in this world. The near
or you came to Webster the more you
saw and acknowledged his greatness. I
can remember little speech he made
which has never been referred to in
print, and as both the parties to it are
now dead I do not object to telling you
about it. You remember James M. Ma
son of Virginia, what a patronizing, su-
percilious man he was. He had no love
for Webster, and on one occasion he
rose in his place with little pamphlet
which ascribed to Mr.. Webster certain
language, and on that Mason proceeded
to make speech. Webster listened to-
what Mason was saying, and then he got
up as he proceeded he raised first one
hand and after a while he raised both
hands. and be made such peech as I
think I never heard to peel an opponent
all to pieces. He called for the pamph.
let after while, and Mason sent it over
to him. He held it up with
look of contempt on his great
rugged countenance, and turned
it over-!nd said: NO title page, anony-
nous. No author, the poor thing isia
therless, motherless. This you call a
document Mason watched him with
apprehension. Then Webster addressed
himself to the language ascrlbed to him
in the pamphlet, and it had seemed to
all of us Senators who heard Mason that
the language gas capable Of tie inter-
probation he had given it. Indeed,
there seemed no other Interpretation.
But Webster, with that logical, legal
mind he had, in = very few minutes
convinced everybody present,
Mason included that the
language not only did not mean what
Mason read, but that it meant the very
opposite. Az soon as he brought this
out Mason wanted to apologize, but
Webster. towering up, told him to take
d seat. We saw by Maeon's face that he
felt he had got himself into place that
would do him no credit. Then Webster
continued, and the excoriation wal
something indescribable, yet ell the
while severely contemptuous; just In the
| manner to cut Mason to pieces and make
| him feel it, for you know he was nothing
| If not . lord over somebody.
cat the end Of the speech one OF the
senators said to Webster: "You haEt
used him mp; let it not be printed in thu

Webster, Let the dog 50.

HOUSE AND FARM,
Farming BreviLies.

Over $4,000 head of cattle and many
thousand sheep are now feeding on the
plains of Wyoming territory, and many
more of both species on those of the
state of Texas, and yet there are many
who hesitate, to admit that the grass
crop is the most important natural pro-
duction of this country.
Any plant bearing blossom which re-
sembles that of the potato is to be avoid
ed. Strange to say, the same family in
cludes the valuable potato, tomato and
eggplant, and the noxious nightshade
and belladonna. It is we'll known that
potato seeds, tomato stems and egg
plant juice are poisonous to some. The
blossoms of all these plants are very
much alike, so that few but botanists
can tell which are innocent and which
are not. Nightshade is frequently
found growing where it is least ex-
pected.
Charles Gibbs states, in his report on
the examinations made last season in
Russia Of the fruits of that country, that
watermelons are raised in large GUAM
titles in the regions of the lower Volga,
and that nearly every barge lowed up
the river had a small dock-load of
watermelons. AS that country is as far
north as Quebec, these melons must be
4 harder or an earlier sort than most of
those cultivated in this country. They
were found in great quantities in all
the markets, and were staple article of
food. There was but one sort, all alike,
round but ten inches in diameter, of a
creamy white color outside, with red
flesh and fine flavor.
1. M. Sthal in the Prairie Farmer,
says: II would not undertake now to
summer hogs without clover. During
this season clover takes the place of
corn. Hogs like it much better than
any other grass and do better on it. A
clover field is as near heaven as hog
can ever get. A clover patch in blossom
is a hogs paradise. There he finds
that perfect peace and fullness of Joy
which man finds not outside of bowers
elysian. Nor is the clover a more ex-
pensive food ti.an corn; on the contrary
l believe it is the cheapest food that can
be provided for hogs"
