Waterspout Off the English Coast.

witnessed with the greatest interest the
formation and decline of the huge
waterspout off the coast. The water
spout was not the only curious phe-
nomenon of the day, for the eccentric
behavior of both clouds and wind had
engaged our attention for mt least an
hour before the waterspout formed. In

moved slowly seward were several

traordinary rapidity. All this time the
wind on shore was no more settled than
the sky. The general current of the
clouds, however, was seward. The
black masses gradually passed from
over the land and became united.
showing a clearly -defned edge some
distance above the horizon. From this
edge thin streak of cloud like black
rocket suddenly de :cended obliquely
and struck the sea four or five miles
from the shora. For the first few min
utes the line thus formed swayed from
side to side with the currents of wind.
1t then became too massive to be thus
affected, and appeared gigantic pillar
of water standing perpendcularly be-
tween sea and sky. The force with
which the volume of water fell into the
sea must have been terrific. since the
foam and spray around the base OF the
pillar extended to considerable heiEht.

The Folly OF Todleben.

A very curious account is given by
the Russian Norosti of the cause of
General Todlebel's death. According
to this, the defender of Sebastopol died
of too good an appetite. 1t says: las
soon as Prince Bismarck heard of the
indisposition Of the late Count he sent
mis- medical man to Soden. DR..
Schwenninger examined the patient
and pronounced his condition serious,
but in no way hOpeless-in fact, he be-
lieved that the patient might live for
several years, if he were strict in his
di and ate only with the greatest
regularity, in order not to impair his
weak digestion. For this purpose the
daily meals of the Count were divided
into six portions, and the hour was
fixed when to take each meal. But
Todleben, who never in his life had
listened to the advise of doctors,
laughed at Dr. Schwenningcr' instruc-
tons. The do tor is mistaken he
said; my organism is weakened and
needs strengthening: my good appe-
tite is clear proof of this. The six
meals were taken, but at each of them

grunts of satisfaction. as if he expected
to be scratched. The Java monkeys
stared at the picture; with the skin of
their foreheads drawn back, their lips
pushed out and constantly moving,
they regarded it from distance and
close up, to find out what it was. The
other species likewise re ognized the

hibiting as strong excitement as the
two species mentioned. The least in
telligent OF the number was the sajou,

head down and moaning, stretched its

An OK, . pig. or any other animal in-
tended for meat, to give the most profit
able results, must not be allowed to
cease growing rapidly-ths steer, say
until two years Of age, and the pig un-
til nine moths old. The old and er-
roneous impression that an animal
must be developed before being fattenef
has given way, and it has been the eff
fort of breeders for several years past
to breed stock that Wi carry fat, and
hence be suitable TO kill at any period
of their growth. 1t is a law of physio-
logical growth that the time lost by in
sufficient feeding, or the absence of
sanitary care in the development of an
finals, can never be re covered. In the
first two years growth of steer the
assimilation of the food and the forma-
ton of the tissues proceed the most ac-
lively. No food is thus lost in the sys-
tenn: all is applied to build up; nothing
is demanded for repairs. After two
years of age, when the period of devel-
opment has terminated, the animal has
not only to feed to keep up life, but to
repair the daily waste of tissues. Then,
of course. after development, more food
is required to produce a pound of flesh
than before and up to that period, when
all vitality is used in developing growth.
Messrs. Gayot and Bowley are admit
ted authorities on all that relates to
horse breeding. The former has re-
championed the plan of giving foals
about one dessertspoonful per day
of bone powder, mixed in the
oats or bran. He testifies
to having received from three DEPART
ments in France the most satisfactory
accounts of the efficacy of this ad unct
to the rapid and strong development Of
the bony system in young horses. The
elect has been very marked in the case
of farmers rearing colts on granite or
schistose soils. Other breeders give
The phosphate in its precipitate, or

Professor Pyro advocates the perma-
rent supply of water in cattle-sheds,
so that the animals can drink at will.
Ordinarily, when stock do not have ac-
cess to water, they are watered only
twice day; the animal takes too much
at time, and perhaps at the improper
moment. If left free with its trough.
the animal may often patronize it
dozen times during the twenty-four
hours. and in suitable draughts. All
breeders of young stock should con-
stantly bear in mind that it is good
policy and economy to keep all young
animals in a good thrifty growing con-
dtion, and for such as are intended
for meat no fear need be entertained of
their taking on too much fat. Ami
mails that are intended tor stock need
not be kept fat, but be sure to keep
them rapidly growing until fully ma
tured.-San Francisco Chronicle.
