The HORSE.
Tho Feed Hard Working Animal should
Have,

Tho Fced Hard Working Animal should
Have
When extraordinary exertions are
required of horses, the animal heat
expended, and the muscular tissue
wasted by the extra exercise make it
necessary that they be much more lib
orally fed, preparatory to hard driving
or heavy work, than when mainly idle.
Trial has sometimes been made upon
post horses and others kept for rapid
travelling, by giving grains alone, and
the result uniformly Is that fermenta-
ton takes the place of digestion, evil
denced by the intolerable odor of the
droppings. The glass of the windows
where horses so fed are stabbed, will be
found, after a year or two, to be de-
composed to such degree as to lose
the lively appearance and become brit
tie. This comes from the action of
sulphuretted hydrogen upon the lead
contained in the glass. Nature in
tended the horse to eat a variety Of
food, and while his stomach is smaller
than that of the OK, he nevertheless
needs provender, and variety of this,
Will MS gram.
The horse can only be put in an i'm
proved condition for extraordinary ex-
ertion, by feeding in advance of the
work. Under rapid work, digestion
is suspended, hence, the horse, under
severe daily work, should be fed his
largest feed at night, that the principal
food of the day may be both digested
and assimilated during the nights rest.
In a state of nature horse is built up
in advance OF his usual requirements,
but under the artificial conditions in
which we have placed him, good deal
of attention is required that the neces-
sary aids to enable the horse to meet
these conditions, be extended to him.
No portion of this aid can be given him
through the agency of heavy feed,
with the idea that this will shield him
from cold and give vigor to his muscle.
On the other hand. full feed soon be-
fore going out, Expresses, dulls the
horse for work, and through digestion
being retarded, renders the animal
more susceptible to cold than he other
wise would be. A full ration at night
is fully digested, and mainly assimi-
lated by morning, and whatever appe-
tite the horse may have in the morning,
after full nights feed lis readily salts
fled by small feed, as when digestion
sets in, the nervous energies are ex-
pended in the process and desire for
more food disappears. National Lire

ABSENCE OF MIND.
Some. Remarkable Instances of the In,
f7rmlfy.

Some Remarkable Instances of the In
trinity.
A Massachusetts gentleman who
came to this city recently to transact
business, forgot the name of the man
he was to call upon. He telegraphed
for the name, received an answer, and
was able to make his visit at the ap.
pointed hour.
One of the most remarkable cases Of
absence of mind within our knowledge
is that of Harvard College student
who went in from Cambridge to Bos-
ton to call upon young lady. In the
course of his visit she noticed that. one
OF his gloves was torn. IF you will
let me have your glove" she said, II
will run up stairs and mend it in min.
ute" Away she went with the glove,
and returning shortly, she was sur
prised to find him, with his other glove
in his hand, peering about the room
and looking under the chairs, piano
and other furniture.
What are you looking forP" she in,
quired. Have you lost anythingP"
do you knoWPn he answered. sIt
is very queer but have missed one Of
my gloves since you went up stairs, and
| haven t the least idea what can have

He had actually forgotten that she
took it away to mend it only five min.
utes before.-M Y Ledger.

Painful Impressions.

A remarkable characteristic of the
average newspaper reader of the day is
the eagerness and avidity one seeks for
painful impressions caused by peruSing
accounts of human suffering. Is there
a railroad accident, steamboat disas-
ter, a hanging, lynching, a murder or
anything of this nature wildly written
up and glowingly pictured in reporto-
rial descriptive style, it at once becomes
the most interesting item of the paper.
Managers of our large and most success
full metropolitan dailieS pander to this
corrupt and morbid taste of their pa
irons. A reporter will be dispatched a
hundred miles to gather the]ateSt and
most minute details of some Iicentious
rape or revolving murder, while the
deeds of the good and the virtuous are
never known outside narrow limit.
Full many a rose is born to blush unseen

out little way from shore. Presently
the alligator came up with his mouth

just at that juncture went off and blew
him tail first about three miles up the

a motion was made to erect two-story
brick. After much discussion, pro and

ratio of one TO five for the new building.
The minority, strange to say. were in favor
of building thousand dollar addition to
the old one.
This would make an unsightly, inconyeni-
ent structure, only large enough to accommo-
date our rapidly increasing population for
two years at the longest. Since we must
build let US erect good, substantial brick.
