Breeds and Families.

In the breeding of live stock, every.
body realizes the subdivision of races
into breeds. Among cattle we have
Shorthorns, Devons, Ayrshires, Jerseys,
Dutch, etc., and it is impossible tc
establish definite limits to their multi
plication. Among dogs we have pointers,
settlers, mastiffs, etc., in great numbers,
and so among all the races of quad
rupeds, birds, and even fishes, which
come from under the influence of intelli
gent breeders, breeds are multiplied
These breeds occasionally break up into
sub-bree1s, as setter dogs into English,
Irish, Gordon, etc., and when carefully
bred, they always break up into families
These are essentially short-lived from
the nature of things. A family may
possess stron : peculiarieties, great pre-,
potency, an the individuals may beal
to each other strong re- emblences, but
In the course of years, continued close
breeding within the fl mily, weaken the
constitution, or lessen the profit to tho
keeper in one way or another, so that 1t
Is actually forced to take outside crosses
to maintain the character CT the family

Duchess Shorthorls, was first maintain

finally became so blended with the
Duchesses, that other crosses were

share to dilute the blood and destroy
the identity of the family. The highes
value of families is for cross ,ng an(
grading, Among the Jerseys as nov
bred, we see this strikingly shown, TIL,
great producers are all recent crosses o
great butter families. These crosse
between families serve in this way t,

families are said not to ''nick' wit

The remarkable sunsets which startled
so many parts of the world about veal
ago have attracted the attention of scien-
tific men, and committee of the Royal
Society of London has been appointed
to investigate their cause. The COM
mittee has not yet made its report, but
it is believed that it has arrived at the
conclusion that the phenomena are not,
as was at first supposed, traceable to
the volcanic eruptions in Java in August,
1888. In speaking of the epidemic OF
pneumonia in Philadelphia and New
York last winter, an eminent physician
of the latter city suggested that it was
due to some strange atmospheric con-
ditions, of which the red sunsets were
probably the result. As preventative
of throat and lung troubles he strongly
adviced the use of the new medical
discovery-Red Star Cough Cure, which
scientists and chemists have found TO be
absolutely free from morphia or opium,
harmless and of remarkable efficacy.
Such remedy, must therefore, prove
an undoubted blessing to all.

The Chic shoe Fly.

When Rev. DIR. Y. 'Peyton Morgan,
rector of Trinity church, Cleveland, O.,
was married last week, some thought
less friends threw an old shoe after the
parting carriage. When the terrified
horses saw that Cleveland shoe sailing
darkly through the affrighted air, they
thought it was barn waited upon the
wings Of a Kansas cyclone, and they
made for the timber, broke the double
tree, went smashing into another car
riage and raised Cain generally. When
a Cleveland girl heaves Eer shoe out in
to space, the abashed earthquake that
happens to be prowling around in that
quarter of the universe crawls under the
bed and stays there until the shoe has
settled.

COLUMN.
Horse Stables.

The condition and health of a horse
depends very much upon the kind of
stable it is kept in. There are horses
which suffer from diseases of the eyes,
from coughs, from scratches and other
skin diseases. all of which are produced
by the pungent foul air in the stables.
Farmers and others who have horses,
will take pains to keep their carriages
and harness protected from the strong
ammoniacal air Of the stables lest the
leather may be rotted or the varnish
dulled and spotted, and at the same
time they will wonder why their horses
cough, or have weak eyes or NOON
blindness, or suffer from other diseases,
which, if they would only think for a
few minutes, they would readily perceive
are due to the foul air the animals are
compelled to breathe every night in the
year while confined in close, badly venti-
lated stables. The remedy is very easy.
The stable should be kept clean; this
will prevent the greater part of the
mischief; and 1t should be well venti-
lated. The foor should be properly
drained, so that the liquid will not re-
main on it, to be absorbed, and decom-
pose, and produce the pungent vapors
of ammonia, which are so injurious to
the eyes, nostrils, throat, and lungs,
and this liquid waste should be carried
away to some place where it can be
absorbed and utilized. The floor should
be washed off at least twice week
with plenty of water and then literally
sprinkled with Underground gypsum
(plaster) which will combine with the
ammonia, and fix 1t. A solution of
copperas (sulphate of iron) will have
the same result. Lastly, the floor should
be supplied with absorbent litter, which
should be removed when it is soiled.
Ventilation should be provided in such
way as to avoid cold drafts. Small
openings, which may be easily closed
with slide, may be made in the outer
wall near the floor, and similar ones
near the ceiling, or in the roof, through
which the foul air can escape. Pure
air is of the utmost imports nee to the
well-being of horses. AS an instance
of it may be mentioned the fact that in
the English cavalry stables complete
system of ventilation reduced the
average loss of horses from the deadly
disease, glanders, from one hundred
and thirty-two per thousand yearly, to
nine in the thousand; and when a
similar improvement was made in the
French army stables the percentage of
death was reduced in similar ratio,
with still larger decrease of milder
ailments. Am. Ag1icul,ur,st.

In A Tunnel.
THE AWFUL MISTAKE OF NEW MADE
BRIDEGROOM.

A newly married couple were en- route
to Washington by the Baltimore &
Ohio. There are many tunnels on this
road the other side of the Ohio river.
All through Ohio the face of the young
man wore occasional looks Of pain, de
spite his great joy. He seemed to want
something. Apparently he yearned.
Over in West Virginia the train entered
tunnel. Upon emerging into the light
the young mans face was seen to wear
studious expression. He was think
ing. At first he seemed perlexed, then
interested, then triumphant. He had
had a revelation. Then he smiled with
firm, manly, continuous smile, and
his eyes peered ahead for the first sign
of yawning cavern in the mountain
side. The bride was happy and demure.
Whish- hadows-rumbles- darkness.
The veil is drawn. 1t is another tun-
mel. Light again, and the young man
looks happier than ever. The brides
cheek disports a gentle blush--a mo-
dest, inexperienced blush, discovered
only by the initiated and envious. No
perplexity, no anxiety now. The reve-
lation has been tested and found sue
cess. There are many tunnels, but not
enough. If the whole line were tun-
mel the bride and groom would not care
how slow the train proceeded. The man
who has not lived to bless the builder Of
tunnels does not know what happiness
is. He is but little above the brute
which never troubled the Creator for
passing clouds over the moon on prayer
meeting night. But our bridegroom
was not one of these parties. He ap-
preciated all the blessings which man
and nature had bestowed upon him. He
did not miss tunnel.
But all things must have an end.
Daylight always comes to the newly
married. Strawberries and cream must
be paid for at the cashiers desk. With
in the blissful cucumber hides n mi
crobe. Our young husband goes for q
drink of water. While on his errand
his eager eye catches the signs of an.
o.her tunnel. OF course he fears his
birdie will be sore afraid if left alone in
the darkness, and he ha ,ters to her side.
Quick are his feet, but faster moves the
train. Darkness gathers while he is
yet half dozen seats away. But the
brave man does not falter. He gropes
along, he reaches the seat Tor thinks he
doesl and slides into it. Deep are the
shadows, and huns the train.
A scream, long and vigorous-a sound
of sculfiing-a thump or two-and the
bright light of May day breaks upor
the scene. The young husband frantic
ally endavors to disengage himself from
the grasp of an angly colored woman
sitting in the seat just behind the bride
He at length succeeds and retires sullen
ly to his seat, wiping his mouth ant
occasionally splitting upon the floor al
if he had bitten through worm in {
fig.
The tunnels come and go, but thei
shadows are scarcely deeper than thos'
upon the face Of the young honeymoon
