accomplshes the same purpose in the
manner in which it takes its drink. The
mandibles of the fowls are in constant
exercise when drinking, and drop by

pared not only to moisten the food, but
to mix with it a most important agent of

Electrical Phenomena.

Remarkable electrical phenomena arc
witnessed at the new observatory on the
steep and isolated Saints in northern
Switzerland. Thunder storms are ex-
tremely frequent; thus in June and JULY
last year only three days were without
them. As a rule, thunder peals from
midday till evening. The noise is short,
partly owing to shortness OF flashes andI
partly to the small amount of echo. The
thunder storms come on quite suddenly
in a clear sky. One of the surest indica-i
tions of their approach is the bristling of
the observers hair. During hail, the
iron rods of the house give kissing
sound, associated with luminous ,effccts.'

Lord Napier's Steady Nerve.

The death of Lord Napier, of Magdala,
recalls a story of the old soldiers nerve as
exhibited once, in time of profound peace
in India. The Sikh warriors were famous
swordsmen, and, if any one was hardy
enough to test their skill, they could cut
an apple, resting on the palm of mans
hand, cleanly in two equal pieces, so that
each piece dropped separately to the
ground, without fraying the skin of the
outstretched hand. Perfect steadiness
was required in the person holding the
apple, for if the hand shrank the
consequences were likely to be serious.
1t is perhaps needless to say that the offer
to perform this feat was more often made
than accepted.
For y long time Lord Napier refused
to believe that the wild soldiers could do
this thing, and when one Of them invited
him to hold the apple and witness the eX-
plot he promptly consented, supposing
/ that the swordsman would finch from the
undertaking, but the Sikh had entire con-
! fidence in his own skill. His eye, how
ever, detected a little irregularity on the
Generals right palm as it was held out,
and he asked him to present the apple in
his left hand. Lord Napier afterward
said that, for the first time in his life, he
was conscious Of the sensation of fear, as
the conviction flashed upon him that the
man was not going to "back out, "
However firm as a rock, the hand with
the apple upon it was extended, the
sword flashed down, and the fruit fell in
two segments to the earth. The skin
was not scratched, but its owner said he
felt the keen blade touch it, as though {
hair had been broken across it. lie added
that though he was at last convinced o
the Sikh swordsmans skill he woulC
never again allow one of them to test i
in that way, and he advised his officer
to make the same resolution. - B0st0Y

FEEDING HORSES.

An English veterinary surgeon recon-
mends that those who have charge of
horses, especially farm horses, should be
taught that the stomach of horse is not
like the rumen of a COW, mere receptacle
for food, but an essential organ of diges-
tion of limited capacity, which does not
need to be crammed in order to perform
its proper functions, and that it cannot
be so treated without danger to the ami
NAL; that the teeth of the horse are pro-
vided for the purpose of masticating the
food, and that the food which does not
require mastication should be sparingly,
if ever, used He further recommends
that no horse be put to work immediate
ly after full meal, and where horse
has done heavy days work it should be
stand in the stable until it is cool and
comfortable before being fed. A little
water may be given, and ii little good
hay be put into the rack it will occupy
his attention, and beside requiring proper
mastication will further have the effect
to slightly stimulate the stomach to Sc
cretion, and to prepare it for the recep-
tion of the feed which is to follow.
Should a horse require more food than
usual to supply the extra waste of it's
sues caused by hard work, give it by all
means, but let it be in excess in its albu-
minoids, and let the horse be fed oftenei
and not in increased quantities at time

In disposing of the manure, the orchard
should not he forgotten. The prevailing
failures in growing fruit are due to ne
glect in this way more than to anything
else. Fine Iruit can only be grown from
well-nourished, vigorous trees, and fair
allowance of manure spread around the
trees, not close TO the stems, but under
the branches as far as they reach, will be
returned in abundant yield, and the quail
ity will be much improved. The con-
stant growth of root and branch of a tree
will exhaust the soil very quickly, and
the first evidence of it will be given in
the failure of the fruit. After this will
come general weakness of the tree, stop
page of growth of wood, a crowd of suck
ers from the roots, and decay of the stem.
\ tree must be considered in the same
light as crop, and, as no crop is ex-
pected without manure, so the thrift of
an orchard cannot reasonably be looked
for unless it is manured at least as often
as a cropped field is. Experience has
proved abundantly that manure is indls.
pensable for the production of fruit, and
the best kind of it is insured by adequate
feeding of the trees.--Neio York Times

Probably the worst of the many in

so distend it as to preclude possibility of

The strain on the crop impairs circula-
tion, and its secretions, unable to perform
their proper function upon the sur

their force upon the now feverish and
morbid coatings of the crop itself in
much the same way that any other acrid
foreign substance would. 1t is probable
that the already fermenting contents of
the crop have more or less binding in

active agents. In the second place, the

In our experience the late crop of

among potatoes than among corn. So
soon as potato crops die the turnips have
all the soil from which to draw, and they
arc rather benefited by the stirring of the

Artificial Teeth an Old Idea.

False teeth are popularity supposed to
be a somewhat modern invention, but
this belief has received rude shock
from certain discoveries made in the an
cient Etruscan city OF Jalisca. In one
of the tombs recently opened there a
skull was found in which was a full set
of natural teeth fastened into the alyeoli
with golden ligatures. The tomb dates
to the fifth century before Christ, and
the Workmanship displayed in the fast
eniugs Of the teeth is Of a high order.

rLucKrNG LIVE GEESE AND DUCKS.

Almost every year some one starts the
theory that plucklng geese and ducks
while alive is necessarily a cruel business.
II may be if done at the wrong time,
which no experienced poulterer would
do. If left unplucked in spring, the
feathers on geese and ducks naturally
come out, or become so loose that they
are pulled out by the birds themselves in
making nests. At this season they can
be pulled without any injury to the skin,
and the birds feel all the better for their
relief from superfuous clothing. New
feathers come and are ready to pick
easily in about six weeks. When cold
weather comes on the feathers do not
become loose until winter is past, and
warm weather prepares for change of
clothing.
