the poisonous matters given off from
the horses, and are wholly prevented
when, by sufficient air space and thor

MILK from cows that are kept in i'm
pure air, and are forced to breath all
the unwholesome emanations from
their own bodies, can not fail to be
loaded with these injurious impuri-
ties. 1t is know that the milk secre-
ton affords an outlet for various
abnormal products from the system.
The odor of decaying turnips breathed
by the cows even affects the milk as
much as if the turnips had been eaten,
and it has been known that the putrid
emanations from dead horse. blown
by the winds into a stable, has made
the milk unfit for use. All these facts
give a much more reasonable elew to
the mysterious poison than the i'll

the milk and unskillful manufactures.

these sculptures this mark of distinction
is reserved exclusively for the monarch,
and it never overshadows any other
person. however eminent. The same
thing is observed in the sculptures of
and Nineveh. in which the
King alone is thus distinguished. OF
the ancient Mexican Emperors it is
likewise recorded that not only were
they borne by relays of great mobiles,
but also that four more mobiles of high
estate were appointed to uphold the
sacred umbrella which added dignity /
to the imperial procession. Even in
the beginning of the present century

claimed a monopoly of the use of the
