abou1 Feeding rsor.ox.

A writer in the New York Times says:
Horses have small stonlachs and al
though they can subs1st we'll upon grass,
yet it is difficult for them to eat enough
hay to keep them in the best condition,
because it is not SO easily digestible nor as
nutritious as fresh young grass. They
may look plump, and may even be fat, but
fat gives no strength, and is whol]y dc
ceptive as to condition of health and
strength. Hay is not complete food, as it
does not furnish the requisite proteine for
the production of flesh and the restoration
of the waste of heterogeneous matter from
the system by every muscular movement.
The majority of farmers and especially
of lumbermen, freighters, and Others
whose horses work hard, favor the use
of corn and OATS or corn and rye
finely ground, and fed with out hay in
only sufficient quantity to fill the stom-
ach. The usual ration OF the street car
horses, whose work is the hardest and
most tireso1ne of any, is 5 pounds
Of cut hay and pounds of mixed corn
and oats ground given three times day.
The writer's practice has been to give the
same ration of hay with 4 pounds of the
mixed ground feed during the Winter,
and in the Summer the same twice a day,
with pounds Of oats at noon.

A PARADISE FOR TRAMPs.
a Little Place In New York Where a
4 Square Meal Can BE Had for
Few Cents.


After a very pleasant lunch in Park
Row, Detective Gilbert Carr said to re-
porter, g We know how all decent people
live; suppose we see how the beggars and
tramps eat their food. Let US go to
Tramps' Hail. Tramps' Hall is small
restaurant, if it can be so styled, III Pearl
street near Chatham. The sign over the
door bears the inscription, '.sSnlau Del
monico." There are {. half dozen tables
and twenty-four stools in the place. The
tables are made of rude material and are
covered with white oilcloth. There are
few cheap pictures and theatrical show
bills hung up on the walls. The Kitchen
is in the rear and communicates with
the eating place by means Of g. door in
which an aperture has been cut. Through
this door the dishes ordered by customers
are handed ont. The cook and the kitchen
are rigidly kepti in seclusiol No outsider
is allowed to enter the mysterious labor
atory in which the repasts of the Laza-
ruses of New York are prepared There
are no walters, for the proprietor, MIR. r.
Barnabo, is too wise TO trust strangers i'll
so economical business. He acts es
waiter and cashier and his deep trousers
pocket is the till from which he makes
change. MT. ,Barnabo is an adiposa
italian of an oleaginous nature,
something in the way OF cross between
Mr.. Wardle's fat boy and Uriah Heep.
He fairly bubbles over with good nature
and impresses casual visitor with the
idea that he is ready at any moment
to throw his arms around the strangers
neck and kiss him On both cheeks, after
the traditional and repugnant Italian
fashion. A curious crowd YVES partaking
of Mr.. Barnabo's cheer. There were two
1nendicants and two blear-eyed women
who share, their spoils, a cripple who
hobbies about on the stamps OF his legs,
an organ grinder who had deposited his
instrument under the table where he sat,
and vagabond dressed in soldiers uni
form, who is doubtless familiar to the
general public as brOken-down veteran
who ost his arm at fredericksburg. The
plates were of the coarsest crockery, the
knives and forks of the co1n1nonest kind
and the spoons of pewter. s:Itdoes not pay
to have expensive articles bere,'' said De-
tectiye Carr, with an explanatory smile;
ssthe customers might be tempted to leave
the house and take chem with thern."
On leaving Tramps' Hall Detective Carr
said to the reporter: sHIhere is no mystery
about the matter. In the hotels the un-
used food left on their plates by guests at
meal-time is sorted out when brought
back to the kitchen. Every evening Mr..
Barnabo calls with his wagon, secures it
and recompenses the cook with whom he
is doing business That is the cooks per-
quisite. So it is that the precise article
which surfeited millionaire refused to
h stomach yesterday is consumed COM
placently to-day by stOne-eyed jimmy or

George w. Dyson, a farmer living north

and when an animal is observed to te sick

Postal Savings Banks.

The plan OF the Postotfice savings banks
of Great Britain was first suggested in
1860 by Mr.. Sykes, Member of Parliament
for Huddersfeld, England. The sugges-
ton was cordially adopted by Gladstone,
then Chancellor of the Exchequer. who
brought the matter in the form Of a bill
before Parliament and warmly advocated
it's passage. 1t was passed early i'll the
following year and received the royal
assent May II, 1861, and came into prac-
tical operation in the following Septenl-
ber. In 1861 the plan became operative
in Scotland and Ireland also The plan
has been a success from the beginning,
over 367, 900 deposit accounts being OPEN
ed during the first two years, represent
ing an aggregate of "a, 702 900, Oh about
$23, $4,000. According to the postoffice
reports of 1883 there were i'll the United
Kingdom 1859 postofice savings banks,
with 3,1O5, 642 accounts open at the end
of the year, the deposits duriug the year
amounting to Gl3, 575,1G7. or about S67,-
875, ,S35, and the amount standing to credit
of all open accounts at the end of the year,
a4l, ,768,S sos or about $30S,940, 040. A
separate account is kept with every de-
positor: and the receipts Of every deposit
is acknowledged. The rate Of interest
paid to depositors is 2: 1-2 per cent an
nually or one halfpenny per pound
month. Every depositor receives savings
bank book, which he sends yearly for ex
animation to the head office, and the in
terest on his deposit is there calculated
and allowed in his book. Any
part or all of q deposit will be paid at
any time by any Of the officers OIL receipt
of a certified order from the central office.
The management Of these tanks has al
ways been thoroughly efficient, and there
is no doubt that they have been OF great
advantage to the poor people of Great

In BEHALF OF LABOR.
AS We See L.

The eight-hour agitation was practi-
cally over a week ago, although the
peaceful waters have been more OF less
troubled during the week, by an effort
on the part of those who had made con-
cessicns to their employees, trying to
force them back to the order that ex-
listed prior to May /. In many in
stances this has already been done, and
in many more it will be in short time,
although many valuable concessions
have been made that will be Of per-
nlanent benefit to the employe. We
can not now see where the eight-houf
agitation has resulted IN gain tc the
employe, if measured By the standard
of dollars and cents, to be Immediately
paid, and yet we think the future re-
suits to the wage-workers will amply
repay them for any monied loss they
may now sustain. The public atten-
tion OF the whole country has been
drawn to their condition, and to the
necessity of doing something to ameli-
crate that condition, and our congress
aud Legislatures are beginning to iecog-
1ize chat the working classes are a
powerful factor in the body polite,
and must be considered. If the labor
element stands together as unit and
makes Just and reasonable demands,
they will in the end get all that they
now insist upon.
The employees have also been taught
g. valuable lesson by recent events, and
that is that it will not dolto put their
trust in men who have any other cause
at heart than that for which we are
struggling, viz, the elevation OF the
Wage-worker Men With enthusiastic
and utopian ideas, socialistic or other
wise, must not be permitted to use the
labor movement in their effort to foist
chem upon the people, nor must they
permit anarchists or other dangerous
characters to falsely represent them
selves as leaders Of the labor cause
without a protest. Many OF the en-
ployers who have conceded the eight
hour day are claiming that they must
return to the old standard il order to
compete with those who are using it.
In some cases there is justice in this
claim, and wherever it is just the en-
p.oyes ought not to insist upon eight
hours unless they are willing to take
eight hours pay. Employers onghS to
consider that their employees are human.
and hard conditions imposed now by
tho former will meet with retaliation
by the latter when they get the power.
AS one Of the leading manufacturers
brutally remarked in a secret meeting,
'stile throwing of that bomb was
blessing in disguise" for the cause of
the employer, and there is no careful
observer OF the events of the past three
weeks but will agree with him, looking
at it from his selfish standpoint
