SCFEXCE. Many-toed Horses.— Professor O. C. Marsh has a brief but interesting article on " Polydaetyle Horses, recent ami ex tinct," "in the June number of The American Jonmal of Science and Arts, in which he cite* several curious instances of extra digits in the foot of the modern Jtoree, and shows that these reversions loan older type are far more numerous than is commonly supposed. As to the ancestors of these animals, says the Professor, there can be 110 doubt. Amer ica is the original home of the horse, and during the whole of Tertiary lime this continent was occupied with equine mammals of many and various forms. Although all these became extinct be fore the discovery of this country, their abundant remains mark oat the geneal ogy of the horse in an almost unbroken succession of forms. It we examine the remains ot the oldest representatives of the horse in this country we shall find thai these animals were polydactyle, and of small size. As the line was con tinued toward the present era, there was a gradual metope in size, and a dini nution in the number of toes, until the present typf of horse was produced. Itie original ancestor of the horse, not a yet discovered, undoubtedly had tive toes on each foot. The oldest member of the group now known is the Eohip pus, which had four well developed toes and the rudiment of another on each fore-foot, and three toes behind. This animal was about as large as a fox, and its remains are from the Coryphodon beds near the base of the Eocene. 111 the next higher division 01 the Eocene anotherequine genus, Orohippus, makes its appearance. It resembled its prede- cessor in size, but had only four toes in front and three behind. At the top of the Eocene a third allied genus has been found (Epihippus), that closely resem bled Orohippus in its digits, but differed in its teeth. Near the base of the next formation, the Miocene, another equine mammal, Mesohippus, occurs. This animal was about as large as a sheep, and had three usable toes and the splint of auotlier on each fore-foot, with but three toes behind. At a somewhat high er horizon a nearly allied genus, Mio hippus. has been found, which has the splint bone of the outer or fifth digit re duced to a short remnant. In the Plio cene above a tliree-tosd horse (Protohip pus about as large as a donkey was abundant, aud still higher up a near al ly of the modern horse, with only a single toe on each foot (Pliohippus), makes his appearance. A true Equus, as large as the existing horse, appears just above this horizon, and the series is complete. 7ro in the Atmosphere. —Observations of snow collected on mountain tops and within the Arctic circles and far beyond the influence of factories and smoke, confirm the supposition that minute particles ot iron float iu the atmosphere, and in time fall to the earth.

WATER AND FOOD FOR HORSES.— Horses and cattle normally require, in round numliers, tour pounds of water for each pound of dry substance In the food, while sheep require about two pounds, or about half as much. This estimate, the result of many careful ex periments, includes the water contain ed iu the food as well as that in the drink. The amount of water needed by pigs has not, 1 think, been accurate ly determined. \\ ith horses we find a different digestive arrangement—one that changes the conditions which were suitable for ruminants to a very impor tant extent. Horses have but one stomach, and that relatively small; it contains, when fully distended, but fif teen to sixteen quarts, and in tills con dition is too full for the performance of its functions. Usually when digest ing the food the horse's stomach does not contain more than ten quarts, and as more food is eaten some of the con tents pass onward into the intestines to make room lor it. lueatinga full feed of hay the stomach is tilled two or three times, so the part first eaten can remain but a short time for digestion. Now, here is a point of great impor tance. The albuminoids of the food are digested in the stomach and a stom achful of grain contains four to six times as much ot these as a stouiachful of hay, consequently for a sufficient quantity of gastric juiee to be mixed with the grain, and produce its full ef fect requires a much longer time than with hay. If, then, we feed oats or corn, and immediately afterward hay, we may be very certain that the grain will be forced from the stomach before it is perfectly digested, but if wo feed the hay first and then the grain, It is not difficult to understand that tiie lat ter can remain in the stomach a suffi cient time. There is one advantage in mixing oats or ground feed of any kind with cut hay or straw, and that Is the more perfect mastication which the ani mal gives in ttiis case, but it is doubt ful if this advantage holds good with cattle, as they do not chew their food perfectly when eating, but rely on the rumination which follows. 111 mixing feed for horses we should not put a great amount of coarse food with the grain, or we will give more than the stomach will hold, and the last portions eaten will force the first ones into the intestines before they are thoroughly impregnated with the gastric juice. Thus, two pounds of hay and four pounds ef oats are about as much as should be fed at once, when mixed,and if more oats are given the hay should be decreased ; for instance, five pounds of bay may bo given. Now these facts will give us a better understanding of the effect of water 011 digestion, if, af ter feeding hay and then oats, we al low a horse to take a large drink of wa ter, a considerable portion of the oats will be carried by the water into the in testines, and we get little of the advan tage of feeding the oats after the hay If such a drink is taken soon after eat ing hay alone, the effect will not be so injurious, because liay does not need so long a time for digestion as grain, if only one or two quarts of water are al lowed it will pass the food in the stom ach without changing its position to any great extent. When the stomach lias got rid of a considerable part of Its con tents it seems a difficult matter for it to force out the remainder, and fermenta tion and colic sometimes result; a drink of water at such a time, by carrying 011 the substance which has remained long enough, relieves the condition. This probably explains why some horse-ear companies have found it advisable to have their horses watered at midnight. BUCKWHEAT may be made profitable upon a piece of rough or newly-cleared grouud. No other crop Is so effective in mellowing rough cloddy land. The seed in northern localities should be sown before July 12th; otherwise ear ly fall frosts may catch the erops. Grass and clover mar sometimes be sown successfully with this month. TUB best way to raise good fodder corn s to put it in drills thirty-two in ches apart, and give it two cultivatlngs. This will give sun and air, and produce a vigorous growth with deep green foliage, growing-some ears, which will make the feed all the better. Corn and millet may be cut at the same time, and will make better food for cows if mixed in the manger. PCRE drinking water is ot the first importance. More dangerous poisons are taken into the system with the wa ter used, than in any other way. That lrom brooks is dangerous, as wash from matured fields aud soakage from the soil flows into them. Water from clear wells and springs only should be given to cattle, and if such precaution is needed for them, it is equally so for the owners. Much avoidable disease Is due to impure water. Clams. The small, round, hard-shell clam is by no means driven out of the market, or away from the table, by that big, bloated member of the family, the oy_ ster. Clams which are good in summer, are even better through the fall and winter. There is a common prejudice against clams that they are indigestible. If they are so, it is because they are im properly cooked; they are stewed whole into tough leather; the cook fan cying she must serve soles, or other monstrosities, instead of clams. Or they are baked to cinders, as at some of the popular clam bakes, where they are only digested by such mechanical means as by pouring into theetomach whole pints of strictly prime Bourbon benzine, as the ostrich swallows rail road spikes and bites of junk bottles to assist in cutting up its tough food. Clams should never be stewed, but cut up finely and gently simmered. But the royal way of serving the clam is to roast it on bars of a gridiron over a bright grate fire— the quicker the bet ter —and the minute It "sizzles," open it, pan it, and let it simmer a little in its own saved juice and a bit of butter. The clam thus cooked is a grateful creature that will repay all the atten tion shown it. And so served, far from being digestible, it is tender as the swan song in "Lohengrin."

DOMESTIC. KEEP THE BODY ERECT.—AN erect bodily altitude is of vastly more impor tance to health than people generally imagine. Crooked bodily positions, maintained for any length of time, are always injurious, whether in the sit ting, standing, or lying posture, wheth er sleeping or waking. To-sit with the body leaning forward on the stom ach or to one side, with tho heels ele vated on a level with the bead, is not only in bad taste, hut exceedingly det rimental to health, it cramps the stomach, presses the vital organs, in terrupts the tree motions of tho chest, and enfeebles the functions of the ab dominal and thoracic organs, and, in fact, unbalances the whole muscular system. Many children become slight ly hump-backed, or severely round shouldered, by sleeping with their head raised on a high pillow. When any person finds it easier to sit, or stand, or walk,or sleep, in a crooked position than.a straight one, such person may be sure that his muscular system Is badly deranged, and the more careful lie is to preserve a straight or upright position, and get back to nature aguin, the better. MOCK OYSTERS. —Take half a dozen good-sized ears of coru; put them iu cold water, and when it begins to boil set it 011 the back 01 the range, and let it simmer for half an hour; then put the corn in cold water; when cool, wipe the ears with a dry towel, and grate them; then put them through a hair seive to rid them of the shells of the corn! have two eggs well beaten, two tablespoonfuls of cream, two ot grated crackers, one teaspoon fill of salt, one-fourth teaspoouful pepper; beat thisall well together; have a lump of good butter about the size of half an egg; put in a frying-pan; when hot put the corn mixture in, in tablespoou fuls, allowing space that they do not run together; when they are a nice brown turn them over and fry the other side; it requires about five min utes to cook them ; this will make about two dozen oysters; serve them hot. ORANGE JELLY. —Grate tho peel of five tine oranges and two lemons into a bowl; squeeze tlie juice of them into it; boil one pound ot sugar iu a quart of water, and when quite boiling, pour if over two ounces of of isinglass; stir until it is dissolved; add the juice to it, strain through coar-e muslin, and let it stand until half Jeold, th*n pour gently into molds which have been wet with cold water. Before turning out put the molds into warm wuter; loosen the edges with a spoon. Xo one who has tried Dobbins' Eleo tric Soap, (made by Cragln & Co., Phil adelphia, Pa..) fails to see its wonder ful economy. Ask your grocer to get it, and give it a trial. DRYING APPLES.— Dry in the oven of the cooking-stove as quickly as is possible to do without cooking tiieni: when sufficiently dry put them into thick paper bags, tie them up so that 110 insects can gain access to them, and hang them away in a store-room. Fruit dried in this way is never wormy, as the insect inoths never get a chance to deposit their eggs. CLEANING SILVER SPOONS. —The dis agreeable discoloration of egg can be readily taken from silver spoons by washing them in potato water —watei in which potatoes have been boiled. It is much better than salt, as it does not scratch the inetal. The taste of flsh may be removed very effectively from steel knives and forks by rubbing them with fresh orange or lemon peel. AITLE SXOW. —Pare, slice and quar tea ten good sized tart apples; steam them until tender, and rub them through a colander, and get them where they will get ice cold. When cold, add the grated rind, the juice of two lem ons, oue cup of sugar and the whites of six eggs. Beat'all to a froth, and serve immediately in a deep glass dish. PARENTS cannot be too earetui in guarding the health ot their Babies. Only a good and reliable medicine should be given to them. Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup is known not to contain anything injurious. EXAMELF.D BELTS. —To pol'sh enam elled leather, take half a pint of the best cream, a quarter of a pint of lin seed oil, make them each lukewarm, and then mix well together. Having previously cleaned the leather rub it over with a sponge dipped in the mix ture; then rub it with a soft dry cloth until a brilliant polish is produced. PUFF PUDDIXO. —Take six eggs and drop them into as many spoonfuls of milk, and six spoonfuls of sifted flour; beat well up into a batter; butter some cups and put the batter in them; bake in a fairly hot oven; turn them out and eat them with a sweet sauce. RICK CAKES. —BoiI a cup of rice very soft; niasli fine; add a pint of milk and *eggs; stir i a little flour, butter the griddle, and turn on the batter in small cakes. Serve with a littlo nutmeg and fine sugar. A TABLESPOOXFUL of salt will weigh about one ounce. Changlng the Color of Woods. A German technical journal states that oak may be rendered a beautiful orange yellow, by melting together, with continued stirring, one pint oil of turpentine, about 1,200 grains of tallow, and 300 of wax. With this mix ture the wood is rubbed in a wa r m room, until a dead lustre is produced and coated an hour afterward with a French polish—an additional coat of the latter giving greater brilliancy and a deeper tone. To produce a very per feet as well as inexpensive brown sur face, or coating—one which is very acH. herent even when exposed to the weather—the wood is brushed with a solution of persulphate of iron of about two degrees Baume, or a solution of protosulate of iron will answer as well as that of the persulphate; the bluish gray tint the wood acquires, on drying, changes to an agreeable light brown shade, with the application of linseed oil varnish; a dark brown shade may also be imparted to the material, by subsequently coating it with a half per cent solution of permangenate of pot ash, and then with linseed oil. A COLLKQK PROFESSOR onje said that " he who expects to rate high in his class, must not expectorate 011 the floor." Much of the hawking and spitting was, no doubt, caused by catarrh, which the Erofessor knew could be readily cured y the use of a few bottles of Dr. 3age'g Catarrh Remedy. HUMOROUS. Ok Course hx Knew. —At the cast end of the City Hall Market recently, a hoy suddenly seized a barrel stave and began pounding a dog which was Med to a wagon-wheel. The animal's yelps and yells at once attracted the attention of a man who called out: "Hold on there! What's that dog done!" ''Snatched a big piece of bologny outer tuy hand and swallowed it!" replied the boy as ho gave the dog another whack. "►See here," continued tlio mail as ho came nearer, "don't you know that that dog feels those blows?" "Don't I ol course I know it! Do you think I'm doing all this hard work and raisin' all this row just for the sake of workln' the rheuiuatlz outer my elbows?" "Banob." —a man in his shirt sleeves was sitting before the door of a rook ery on At water street the other eve ning when an acquaintance came along and asked: "Bill, was that your wife I met on the corner ?" "I guess it was—she just started out." "I see she hangs her hair," continued the other. "Yes, she does, dtirn her!" growled Bill; but I've got the advantage over her though. While she can only bang her hair I can hang her whole hotly." Miss Coil no goes for the first time to view the sea at Dieppe. At her de parture lor home her sister recom mends her to carry hack some seawater in a bottle. She goes down to tlio shore and fills her vial with water.

A small hoy was hoeing corn in a sterile field by the roadside, when a passer by stopped and said, "Pears to me j'our corn is rather small?" "Cer tainly, sir," said the hoy, "it is dwarf eorn." "But it looks yellow," "Cer tainly," replied the boy, "we plauted the yellow kind." "But it looks as if you wouldn't get more than half a crop." "Of course not," said the boy, "we planted her on the shares." AT a recent wedding the bridegroom, being nit officer, wore his sidearms at the nuptials. A little wideawake brother of the bride was attracted by the display of weapons, and as he had another sister, whose true love is a car penter, he boldly inquired: "May, when Jenkins comes to niarrv Milly. will he wear his saw by his siJe?" An Indianapolis barber, who aban doned his business and went u.to the ministry, was suddenly called up on one Sunday to baptize three candi dates. He got along very well, but after baptizing the first, he astonished his congregation by lustilv shouting "Next!" IT is said that u Boston man broke off his marriage with a young lady be cause she spelt hugging wit.i one "g." The provocation was great, to be sure, but as long as she practiced hugging with two arms, we—that is, some young men—would not care if she spelled the word without any g's at all.

A box of 2,500 sold for twenty ttve cents, and the profit was large. A log six feet long and about eighteen in ches In diameter was placed in a ma chine where bevel knives cut it in each direction and turned out the toothpicks ready for market. About eighteen months ago another Boston firm started a factory in the woods of Ohio and used similar machinery.
