Horse Breeding in America

Fifteen Million of horses are now
owned in America and more than a
million year must be bred to keep
up the supply. The largest portion Of
these are used for agricultural and
heavy draft purposes and such horses
bring from $175 to $3.50 each. 1t would
be impossible to breed them if it were
not for the importations OF Perehepan
horses. 500 stations are now annu-
ally imported from France to the
United States. The immense wealth
they are adding to the nation will be
better understood when it is known
that the first cross of Percheron
stallion withsa native mare doubles
the selling value of the colt when
mature. Large numbers of Percheron
stations are exported from the Uni
ted States by Canadian breeders to re-
new the old French blood so highly
priced and also to give quality, style
and action to the large English Draft
and Clydesdale stock which has been
bred there so long. Nearly one hum
dred Percheron stations have been to

Shall We Sleep with open Windows2

Scientific American: This question
introduces subject upon which there
is diversity of opinion, both among
medical practitioners and individuals.
II have had no bad colds since I
learned to sleep with my windows
open, remarked gentleman in the
Office of the Medical and Surgical Re-
porter, the other day. In reply, the edi-
tor says that the only "hard colds' he
ever suffered from were contracted by
sleeping In rooms to which the night
air had free access.
The editor adds that it Ia well known
that the bodily temperature sinks
slightly during the sleep; the physio-
logical functions act with diminished
activity; and hence the resistance of
the economy to morbific influences is
proportionately lessoned.
But 1t is also well known that at
night these influences are more potent
and noxlous. The air is charged with
greater humidity; miasmatic and
malarial poisons rise to higher levels
and extend with greater rapidity; the
chill of the night air is penetrating
and dangerous; the emanations from
organic decay are more perceptible.
Against these the sleeper is less pro-
tected than in the daytime. He has
Invested himself of his wooden exter-
nal clothing to put on cotton or linen,
and lies between sheets of the same
material, between which. at the tops
and sides of the bed, the air gains
ready access to his unprotected sur
face. If he is restless, he renders such
access yet more easy.
A greater risk awaits him. A sud-
den fall in temperature at night is no
unusual occurrence. In summer q
thunder gust, in winter shift of the
wind to the north, often reduces the
temperature ten to twenty degrees.
The sleeper is unaware of this. He
remains exposed to it with no further
protection than he found agreeable
at the higher temperature until he
awakes chilled and stiff, perhaps with
the seeds of serious illness already
sown.
These are such positive and una
vcidable risks that we should counsel
q delicate person to be exceedingly |

The Roller Rink.

A vigorous defender Of the skating
mania, of which so much is now being
said in the newspapers and the pull
pit, has been discovered in the person
of Rev. John L. Scudder, paster of the
First Congregational church of Min
neapolis. He expresses his idea to a
reporter in the following interesting
language:
"As perused my morning paper l
learned the sentiments and read the
denunciations of some of our Ameri-
can clergy, was forced to throw up
my hands in surprise and exclaim :
"What will these men tackle next ?
1t is very evident that the age of fam
aticism and bigotry lie not dead yet.
I should not be startled in the least,
as time wears on, to hear crusade
against lawn tennis, horseback riding
or bicycling.
AS people we are far behind our
English cousins in our love for manly,
physical sports, and our American
stock is 80 degenerating that many Of
our girls cannot skate mile without
contracting various disorders. In
stead of denouncing the roller Kinks,
I take pleasure in stating that I con-
slider them a means of grace. / skate
myself, enjoy it heartily, and only re-
rrrof my / ooh IF laaaura x,,I,iob r,ro
vents my devoting more time to this
exhilerating past time. In my judg-
ment minister can find no better
preparation for his Sunday work than
to take his wife and children to the
rink on Saturday night and skate
about with the young people of his
congregation until half past nine
o'clock. 1t will clarity his mind,
make him elastic, and put him in
good bodily trim for the Sabbath.
Moreover, it will give him good
sweat, which latter is an excellent
thing for the clergy. My .diagnos as
touching the average minister is that
he eats too much and does not take
sufficient exercise. Consequently he
is liable to regard the world from the
standpoint of dyspeptic, and not a
red blooded vigorous Anglo Saxon.
Some ministers complain that the
Kinks have affected their audiences
for the worse. They have not dimin-
ished my audience in the least. Com
trariwise, they were never SO large as
at present. My opinion lis that any
church which condemns so morally
harmless and physically benificent
an amusement as roller skating is do
ing it's best to ALLEVIATE the young
people and beget in them a dislike for
churches In general. flour churches
would secure the sympathies and af-
fections of the young they must put
away all prudery and take a hearty
interest in all forms Of innocent and
healthfu1 diversion. There are some
amusements upon which the devil5
has not as yet placed hie poisonous
and roller skating Is one sof
them. It is far better for church

Captain Willard Glazier, of the U.
S. Navy, in June, 1881, organized and
led an expedition with the object Of
finally determining the true
source of the Mississippi river. The
exposition proceeded in canoes via
Leech Lake to Lake Itasca, and &C
companied by an old Indian guide,
pushed forward to the south; and the
captain was rewarded by the discov-
cry of another lake Of considerable
size, which proved to be, without the
shadow of doubt, the true source of
the Mississippi. 1t is latitude Al de-
grees IL minutes 25 seconds and the
lake is three feet above Lake Itasca,
the hitherto supposed source of the
river. The Mississippi may, there
fore, be said to originate in an altitude
1878 feet above the Atlantic Ocean,
and it's length, taking former data as
the basis may be placed at 8, 1874 miles.
The tract of country In which the
river originates is a remote and UNI
frequented region.

A Capital Story About Apes.

DO you know where Java is, and what 1t
Isl II not, look upon the map and see.
Very well, now we win 60 on with the
story.
On the coast Of Java there Is very large
kind of sand crab. His claws are not very
big, but they are strong as wise. These
crabs dig holes in the sand for their homes.
But they do not stay down there in the
dark. Not they! They come up and skip
and hop in the sunshine about their homes
as merrily as if they were children making
sand pies.
The crabs have very sweet and delicate
flesh, like the soft shell crabs congressman
and other distinguished gentlemen are so
fond of eating in America. They get sick
sometimes after eating too much, and espe-
cially after drinking too much, and then
they blame it all on the innocent crabs
There are many apes in Java. They are
lively, risky creatures, and like the same
things to eat that people do. Apes aud
congressman are fond of soft shell crabs.
The ape cannot invent traps to catch his
dainties as man can, however, and so he
must attack the crabs with only such wea-
pons as nature has given him. He watches
where group Of crabs are playing in the
sand. He steals as near to them as possible
without their seeing him. Then be makes
spring in the air and dives down upon them.
There is a tremendous scattering and clat-
tering o. crabs.
