In speaking of the present business
outlook, Hon. Frederick Billings says !:
81 have been a close observer of
financial matters for the last 80 years,
but at no time within that period has
business depression been so perplex-
ing as it is now, or so general, indeed,
for England, and France, and Ger
many are struggling with the same
problem. The present time is par
ticularly unfortunate for young men
just starting out in life. Every de-
partment is overcrowded; supply
seems greater than demand. There
are shoals of young doctors and law
yers, and it is about as hard to get
started in business as in a profession.
/ do not consider myself capable now
of advising any young man. l feel
that the state of affairs that existed
when we older heads were young has
all changed. The boundless resour-
ces of our country and the energy of
our people are evidence enough that
prosperity must return, but at present
the outlook is very foggy, and if /
were young man just starting out in
life, though | were granted at the
start all the experience which rather
eventful life has brought me, l should
be in absolute doubt where to turn
or what to do.

Few things are more fascinating in
their way than study of the subterrane-
an history of man. whether in caves or in
mounds, whether it be to corroborate
written history, or to take testimony that
antedates all writing. President Bart
lett, of Dartmouth, contributes an inter
esting article on this topic to the July
number of the North american Reuie,o
From the men of unknown ages and
their works underground, to men gram
ping with the latest question of our own
day and discussing the parceling out of
the earth's surface, is long step; but in
the same number of the Review appears
conversation between David Dudley
Field and Henry George, on land and
taxation. Another urgent question,
which may soon make a very serious is
sue, the eXtradition of dynamite crimi-
nails, is debated by President Angel, of
Michigan University, George Tucker
Curtis, and Justice L. M. Cooley. Dor
man B. Eaton, chief of the Civil Service
Commission, gives his views of the re-
suits of that reform. William Clarke
shows the futile character of any
scheme for British imperial federation.
and Thomas w. Knox gives a brief but
interesting sketch of the progress of
European influence in Asia. The other
articles are one by Gail Hamilton on
Prohibition in practice, and one by Rev.
DIR. G. Ill. Parkhurst on the Decline of
Christianity. These, with the batch of
free hand comments, make up a number
OF unusual interest.

Grooming Horses.

The skin of the horse, like that OF
other animals, not only affords protec-
ton to the parts within, but, by the
pores, affords an outlet to a large
part of the waste of the body in the
form of sweat. In outdoor life-the
natural state of the horse-hiS men,
brane becomes thickened and tough,
capable of resisting changes of tenn
perature ; and by continual exercise
the pores are kept open, giving free
exit to all of the exhalabions. But
this alone will not give the smooth,
glossy coat which adds so much to the
animals beauty. Combining the horse
to the stable, as is usually done a
large part of the year, renders his skin
tender. especially when he is warmly
blanketed. Expose him now to a
great change of temperature take
him out and drive him until heated
return him to the stable and let him
remain uncared for over night, or
even for an hour the skin is rapidly
chilled by the evaporation of the
sweat; the pores are suddenly closed
and often a cold, rheumatic stiffness
or some other disorder results. Prop
er grooming prevents this by tough
ening the skin, keeping it in healthy
action, equalizing the circulation, re-
moving distinctions from the pores,
and, what is of more Importance, by
rousing the action of the muscles at
the surface, which compensates for
the want of exercises consequent up
on stable life. Currying and brush
ing should not be done in the stable.
The dust and scurf will be scattered
in the manger to mix with the food,
besides keeping the stable uncleanly.
The animal should be taken out into
the lot, securely tied and handled so
carefully that he will enjoy, rather
than fear the application of the cur
ry-comb. A sharp toothed comb
roughly scraped over the tender skin
is anything but pleasant, as the shrink
ing, resisting animal will soon show.
This instrument should be lightly ap-
piled and dependence placed mainly
upon the brush. Currying should be
begun at the head and the comb
passed lightly up and down until all
the dandruff is loosened, when it
should be removed with the brush.
Much particularly should be observed
around the edges of the foretop and
the maze. 1t is always a good plan
to sponge off the head and ears, using
but little water, and smoothing the
hair down TO its natural position. In
going over the back, quarters, loins,
etc., the comb should be used in one
hand and the brush in the other, and
the work done quickly. Great care
should always be observed where the
skin lies in folds, as at . the union of
the legs with the body but every
part should be thoroughly freed from
dust and dandruff. 1t must never be
overlooked that grooming is to horse
what bathing is to a person; and in
order to clean his skin must be care
fully and Thoroughly done. A well
groomed horse will keep fat on less
food than one that is neglected, be-
cause he will be in better health and
his food will be more thoroughly as
simulated. AS a rule horses suffer
from lack of grooming more than from
lack of food.

Hours FOR LABoR.-There has
been considerable controversy as to
what are the legitimate hours for farm
labor, some claiming that a day
work for a farm hand is from sun-up
to shutdown that is, they must be in
the field ready to start by sun-up, amp
work until shutdown, with one hour at
noon. Requiring laborer to be in
the field with his team by sunrise, and
continue working with the team till
sunset, with one hours cessation at
noon, is extraordinary, and hard on
the team. But if the employers are
willing to pay such wages as would
make the arrangement satisfactory to
the laborers to work fifteen hours dali
ly, the agreement should be mutual.
If laborers feel that unreasonable
hours are required without full COM
pensation, they will be constantly
tempted to relax their efforts and be-
come dilatory. They will be really
unable to be so active as with shorter
hours.

Farm N oteS.

The country has seldom been clean
er swept of wool than now, save a
few clips held in large interior cities
and on the markets of the Atlantic
seaboard. These latter markets vir-
tually hold all the wool to be supplied
until next clip, and there is little to
arrive from foreign ports.
The manure harvest lasts through
the year. Even while farmer is
blowing and planting, he may be
gathering materials for manure. No
wagon should ever be brought home
empty. The farmer should ever be
on the lookout for fertilizing matter.
He should not be above gathering the
waste matters about the towns and
villages, which he should find ways
and means of collecting, so that he
may never return empty banded.
These small economies pay largely.

One of the important acts passed by

against vicious literature. 1t forbids
the selling, lending, or giving away OF
any kind of publication devoted to
criminal news, or to pictures and
stories of blood-shed, or lust. The
law covers papers like the Police Ca
zette, Police News, and dime novel
publications of all Sorts All eyes will
be turned toward the Nutmeg State to
see how well such law will be carried
out. If carried out it certainly would
have a good effect on the morals of
