NEED OF GROOMING.
The Only Way In Which a Horse Can BE
Kept In Good Condition.


Kept In Good Condition.
No man can groom horse intelli-
gently unless he has correct idea of
the purposes of grooming and the
characteristics of the skin. We have
seen people dig into the skin of horse
with sharp curry-comb as If they
were smoothing down a stone, and the
pitiable cringing of the animal has no
effect in getting the fact into the mind
that the horse was being hurt. The
skin is to be reached, for one of the
chief purposes of the operation is to
cleanse the skin-remove the dirt and
collections that have gathered on it.
In one sense. when the skin is covered
with dirt and the dried excretions that
have come through the pores, it is like
head covered with dandruff, and
those who have had an experience of
that kind know how much discomfort
there is in it. The pores of the skin
become clogged, and they can not,
while in this condition. fully perform
their functions. Their Importance is
so we'll understood that some have even
gone so far as to recommend the
Turkish bath for the horse, and we
honestly believe that it would often
prove valuable.
The skin is, therefore, to be distinctly
and effectively reached by the curry
comb, that it may do all it can do in
removing from the surface whatever
may irritate the skin or clog the pores.
The pores can not be fully cleaned by
the curry-comb, but they can be par
TALLY cleansed by it. But while it is
necessary to scratch" the skin, it
must be gently done. The horse should
never be made to cringe under the pro-
cess of grooming. OF late years combs
have been manufactured that do not
harm the skin, and some of them are
valuable. 1t need not be said that farm
horses are often neglected in this re-
spect. Frequently it is the result of
the hurry in our work But suppose
the trotting horse should be thus neg
lected. II it could be with impunity,
certainly the owner would not go to
the expense that he incurs for having
the animal thoroughly groomed. 1t is
the only way that the trotting horse
can be kept in good condition. But the
work horse has the same sort of organ
ism that the trotting horse has, and
what is good for one is good for the
other. The truth is that il we paid
more attention to grooming we could
feed less, and our horses would be much
less liable to disease. Time spent in
performing these "little things on the
farm is usually well spent Western

ture of the cells of the grain. The
same cause also renders the meal from
such corn bitter. 1t is also well known
that corn readily absorbs moisture,
and that unless kiln dried before grind
ing, and placed in alright packages,
it is apt to heat In the saving of seed
corn, therefore, it is especially neces-
sary that the corn be ripe. dried
thoroughly before it is frozen, and
then kept in a dry place, and prefera-
bly, one where it will not freeze. So.
also, corn intended for grinding into
meal for human use should be kept
in cribs so narrow that it may dry
equally and thoroughly. and also iar-
ing enough SO that no rain can drive
in to dampep the corn. -IsasFls FalIsey

How He Manages to Pass Away His limo
IN the French Capital.
Brilliant novelists and dramatists
would undoubtedly find subject
worthy OF study and description in the
person OF the Duke OF Mondelf, an
opulent member Of the important Rus
sian colony in Paris. The Duke leads
life which resembles TO certain ex-
tent that OF one OF those Roman En-
perors or oriental potentates described
by picturesque historians. He lives in
splendid hotel in the Avenue du Bots
de Boulogne with his mother, Princess
Woronzotf, who was sister of Prince
Nicolas Troubetzkoi, and a member OF
the household Of the Car before her
lawsuit with hernephew, Count Woron-
zoff, one of the Emperor Alexander's
court marshals. The Duke OF Mondelf
is reputed to have $500, COCOA year, most
OF which he manages to spend in a
magnificent manner. He nevergoes to
bed until daylight does appear, and he
generally getsup at three o clock in the
afternoon. After a meal, and extended
at full-length on sumptuous divan, he
receives his friends and visitors, his
mother, the Pyincess, being present at
the levee. On these occasions the
Duke wears either superb dressing
gown in ivory-colored plush, lined
with satin of the hue OF the peach,
garnished with silver braiding and or
namented with jewels, or an ample
jacket Of heliotrope velvet, with gold,
and clasped together with ducal coro-
nets studded with brilliants. While
conversing with his visitor the host, it
is said. toys with precious stones OF
rare value, polished and uncut. In
the intervals OF conversation a band OF
Neapolitan singers MARBLE the melodi-
GUS airs of sunny Italy, and these are
succeeded by Tzigane musicians, who
make the ducal hall rings with their
native wild and diabolical strains.
After each musical performance the
leader Of the band approaches the divan,
kisses the hand OF the most noble master
OF the house, and receives his orders for
the next moroccan OF demoniac bliss.
Later in the evening the Duke repairs
to a splendid cafe on the boulevards,
where he dimes with his friends and
listens once more to the musicians, to
whom he distributes bountiful largesse
in the shade Of fistfuls of louis, while
his guests quaff liberal bumpers Of
sparkling champagne in his honor

SoNoROuS SANDS.
What the Scientists Know About the Curl
Gus Phenomenon.


Gus Phenomenon.
At recent meeting of the New York
Academy of Sciences, DR.. A. Julian
and Prof. H. G. Bolton gave a report Of
the interesting results Of their long con-
tinued researches on sonorous sands.
The cause Of this remarkable phenome-
non, which was first known to occur in
Arabia, has long been mystery. In
course Of time many other localities in
which sonorous sands occur become
known, and, in fact, it may be found
almost every where on beaches and in
deserts. The authors collected samples
from all parts of the world, and on
close examination, found that all sonor-
GUS sands are clean; that no dust or
silt is found mixed with the sand; that
the diameter of the angular or rounded
grains ranges between 0.3 and 0.5 of a
millimeter; and that the material may
be siliceous, calcareOus, or any other,
provided its specific gravity is not very
great. When these sands are moistened
by rain or by the rising tide, and
the moisture is evaporated, film of con-
densed air is formed on the surface OF
each grain, which acts as an elastic
cushion, and enables the sand to vibrate
when disturbed. In sands mixed with
silt or dust, these small particles pre-
vent the formation of continuous air
cushion. and therefore such sands are
not sonorous. II this theory be correct,
sonorous sand must become mute by
removing the film of air. Experiments
of the authors prove that by heating,
rubbing and shaking the sand is
killed All these operations tend to
destroy the film of air condensed on
the surfaces. On the other hand. sam
pies OF sonorous sand were exhibited
which had been kept undisturbed for
many years. They had retained their
sonorousness but, after having been
rubbed for some time. became almost
mute. The theory advanced by the
authors appears very plausible, and
will be firmly established when they
succeed in making sonorous sand.
Their experiments in this line have
not yet been completed, but prom
fair success. Scicnce.

The Prehistoric American.

The environment read from geology
indicates that the Trenton man was a
hunter or fisherman who used and lost
the primitive tools Of his mysterious
craft within the waters rather than
upon the land. and thus appears to
materially narrow the range of hypo-
thesis as to his activities; but the ex-
travagance in labor indicated by the
vast numbers of unworn implements
suggests that the rapid modification in
environment and occupation accom-
panying the ice invasion outrau the
resulting modification in appliances,
and that the implements were really
invented on land and were but ill
adapted to the new conditions, and
the introduction of new type of i'm
plement during the brief epoch OF
gravel deposition gives support to the
suggestion. So the margin of the
cloud enveloping the beginnings OF
human life in America is slowly lifting.
Already there is definite and cumu-
lative evidence of mans existence dur
ing the latest ice epoch. with strong
presumption against an earlier origin
than the first quarternary ice invasion;
already it is known that the prim-
tive American haunted the ice front
rather than the fertile plain. aud
must have been hunter or fisherman;
already his environment is so we'll
known as to partially elucidate his
activities; but the first traces of the
autochthon yet found tell of an intelli-
gent being who dominated the animal
world rs does his descendant. and thus
the mystery of mans ultimate origin
remains eashrorded as darkly as eyss.
