German Sewing Machines.

A German newspaper estimates the
number of sewing machines annually
produced at 100000, one-third of
which are of German manufacture.
Estimating the number of people in
need of sewing machines at 500, 600, 900,
the annual production allows one for
every 800 civilized people. The news
paper in question adds: America, it
is true, is the home of the modern sew
ing machine, but in respect of variety.
efficiency and finish German skill has
triumphed over the American article. !"
We may add that it was a German his.
torian, Bottiger, who. in referring
thirty years ago to the invention of the
sewing machine, thought that sit did
not seem to be success. M J. Post

A VISIT TO PAsTEUR.

The French Savant Energcticafly Defends
HIS incubation Theory.
DIR. G. FL. Brandt writes concercing q
visit he paid to Pasteur: Nothing can
exceed the politeness and kindness Of
M. Pasteur in explaining and answering
our numerous questions. He is COM
pletely wrapped up in his subject, and,
contrary to what has been limited BY
some authors, keeps nothing hidden
from any one. He generally finishes by
saying: Gentlemen, I have told YOU
everything I know, you have seen all I
do, and now you know as much as lido, ,
As we were questioning him, a paper
was shown him in which there was a
paragraph which said: we can place
no reliance on M. Pasteur's work, as so
many cases of rabies appear many
months-eighteen, twenty and even
twenty-four- after the bite of a mad
dog To this M. Pasteur answers:
This is not good reasoning, for statis-
tics show that the great majority of
cases have an incubation period of from
twenty to sixty days. Cases of rabies
happening before the twentieth day
are very rare, and those after the
sixtieth day are still more rare,
so that our treatment includes
the majority of cases. Six months have
elapsed since young Meister was bitten
by mad dog and treated by my system;
he is alive and well. So that it is not
fair to condemn treatment because
time has not allowed the extremely
rare cases of long incubation to show
the result of our treatment. Statistics
also show that there are about fifteen
cases annually of hydrophobia admitted
into the Paris hospitals, followed by
fifteen deaths. Since we have begun
our treatment there has been only one
case admitted; this case was not iriocul-
ated, and death was the result To the
unbelievers M. Pasteur says; Wait;
time will reveal many facts connected
with this question; and it is only by con-
tinued experiments and constant
observations, carried on for consider
able time on hundreds of cases, that we
shall be able to arrive at positive and
definite results. 1t is satisfactory to
know. that no evil results have followed
the numerous NEGOTIATIONS already
made. Several of M. Pasteur's students
have inoculated themselves with attenr-
ated virus, and, barring a slight red
areola formed over the seat Of pune
ture. no unpleasant symptom has ever
shown itself. IN r EUesino Post.

FEEDING THE HORSE.
A Little Variety Relished by Animals %
Wei as by Men.

Well as by Men.
It is about as difficult, as we under.
stand it, for man to find out just how
to feed a horse to the best advantage,
all things considered, as it is to findous
howto feed himself. How many men
know just what to eat, and how muchl
How many are as careful about their
food as they know how to beP Their
own feelings may be a warning, some.
times, or the appetite may indicate
need. In feeding the horse we haveno
such reminders. II is all judgment,
and half of that is guess-work.
Oats are the natural grain food Of
the horse. This is the popular verdict.
But does the horse not want or need
something elsep Yes, he wants a res
sonable allowance of good hay, clover
or timothy, or the two combined. Dat
straw is good, when the oats are cut
before the stalk has lost all of its green
hue. Wheat would be found a nour.
ishing food for the horse, and not so
dear as some would at first think. But
it in very concentrated food, and all
such must be fed with great care and
in connection with coarser food OF
some kind. ~
II oats are crushed, or just coarsely
ground, they will prove more nourish-
ing. In England, they are passed be-
tween rollers. But if horses teeth
are good, it will generally grind its
oats pretty well. There is a greas
difference in horses, however, In this
respect, just as there is in men. Some
bolt their food much more rapidly ana
less masticated than others. But what
ever grain you feed, do not let the
horse drink Immediately after. Ii yoa
do, much of the grain will be washed
out of the stomach without being
digested. !. See that the horse is properly
watered little while before eating ~
grain.
Corn is not the best food for the
horse. Is is too carbonaceous, or heat
ing and fattening. Not every one
wants fat horse. Fat is not a sign OF
the best of health in either man or
horse. 1t is better to sell the corn ana
buy oats with the money received ioI
it. Corn is apt to make horse sun
and logy. 1t lis very concentrated food'
as well as fattening.
AL dry feed is not the best for Ino
horses health. 1t needs few ROOFS
