The wide stall is a luxury, aud ought to be six or even twi fed "wide, if room ean be spare,!. le*>ae boxes are iui }vrt int for horses of great value; iu such stalls they can get perfect repose by changing their position, recover from the fatigue of a hard lay's drive, and lie ready for their task the "next day. The food best adapted to the horse is oats and hay of the 1-eet quality, occasional li mned with a bran mush, with turnips ir carrots as an alternative. The growth and development of bone and muscle depend greatly npon tlie food they cat. It is inqvirtant to select such as contains all tht element* uesh\l to form the loue and muscle of the hone. It is self-evi dent that the nutritive matter supplied by tlie food mttat be equal to the exhaus tion, or natural waste of the body, to keep up condition. The horse that is aliont to lie driven on a journey needs hardeniug by exer cise—preparing by sweating out the body to pnnfy and increase the circnla lion of the blood, and also by hand-rub bing the legs to make theni firm and clastic—a preparation in some degree corresponding with that attained by a horse that is daily driven on the road for ordinary work. For one week previous to the start they nee,! daily exercise, commencing with eight or ten miles, and gradually increasing to twenty per day. This exercise, with appropriate food, will harden their muscles, strengthen their limbs and prepare them to perform their task without giving ont on the road, materially declining in desh or serioualy exhausting their physical powers. If we perform long drives with horses aeusteiucJ to short work only, the sud den transition from indolence to great exertion will relax their muscles, weaken their joint*, depress their spirits and break down their constitution. The leading cause of so many valuable horso being spoiled by long drives is from be ing short of work. They ate not prepared for such severe exertions. Condition will prepare them to perform their work cheerfully, last out with sound limbs, and pre.-ervc their constitutional vigor for future usefulness.— Xational Liv Stock Journal. Farm Note. Eighteen cubic feet of gravel or earth before diggmg.make twenty-seven cubic feet when dug. Salt, soot and lime, mixed with the mnmire, make a good tertilizer for celery. Some milkmen nse strainer pails and also a cloth stretched over the can, thus ■trailing the milk twice. This doable straining of milk is to be recommended. Cleanliness cost* but little trouble, and will add greatly to the value of yonr dairy products, whether you sell yonr milk by the can or manufacture it* into butter or cheexe. Do not allow ashes of any kind to be wasted. It will pay to hanl leached ashes several mile*, when one has his own team and a laborer at fair wages. Coal ashes, when spread around berry bushes of any sort,or around grape-vines, will aid materially tn producing large and fair fruit. Feed your land before it gets poor. Give it all the manure you can make and haul, and it will enrich yon. Starve it by taking off crops continually and re turning nothing ami it will bankrupt you. Feed the land liberally and it will feed and clothe you. A New York correspondent of the El nrra Farmers' Clnb says he raises one hundred bushels of turnips per acre, in the hill with corn. He does it by man uring the corn in the hill. When half the load of manure is on the wagon he scatters two tableepoonfnls of turnip seed over it, and about the same quanti ty when the load is full. The best preventive for worms in cel ery is to mix plenty of salt, soot and lime with the manure that is to be em ployed in trenches. This shonld be added to the manure some weeks before it is nsed, during which time it should be turned now and then. The mixture above named also benefits the growth of the oelery, which will lift clean and spgtless compared with that grown in the ordinary way. Kfclpfi.

Five years ago this summer both kinds ap{eured on ray late potables, and I watered with tar water. The next day all Colorado* that hail not been well protected from the sprinkling were dead, and the others, though their name was legion, were all gone, and I have never seen one on the farm since. I am aware that many will look upon this'with indifference because it is so cheap and simple a remedy. Such should always suffer both by their own and neighbor's bugs, as they fre quently do.— Chicago Tribuiu. Warm aud Cold Bath*. An article of a very interesting aud . instructive uature, on the physiological action of baths, was publishtd in a late number of the London Lancet. Summing np, the writer notes that warm baths produce an effect upon the 9kin directly contrary to that which is bronght about by cold water. The cutaneous vessels dilate immediately under the influence of the heat, and although the dilation is followed bv a contraction, this contrac tion is seldom excessive, aud the ulti mate result of a warm bath is to increase the cutaneous circulation. The pulse and respiration are both quickened in the cold bath. The warm bath increases the temperature of the body, and by lessening the necessity for the interna! production of heat, it decreases the call which is made upon certain of the vital processes, and enables life to be sus tained with less expenditure of force. While a cold bath causes a certain stiff ness of the muscles if continued too long, a warm bath relieves stiffness and fatigue. The final effect of both hot and cold baths, if this temperature be moderate, is the same, the difference being, to nse the words of Brann, that, "cold refreshes by stimulating the func tions, heat by physically facilitating them, and in tins lies the important difference between the cold water sys tem and the thermal mode of treatment." To bet Hid of House-I'ests. Hot allum water is a recent sugges tion as an insecticide. It will destroy mi and black ants, cockroaches, spiders, chineh bngs, and all the crawling pesta which infest our houses. Take two pounds of alum and dissolve it in three or four quarts of boiling water; let it stand on the fire till the alum disappears; then apply it with a hiusb, while nearly boiling hot, to every joint and crevice in your closets, bedsteads, pantry shelves, "and the like. Brnsh the crevices in the floor of the skirting or mop boards, if you suspect that they harbor vermin. If, in whitewashing a ceiling, plenty of alum is added to the lime, it will also serve to keep insects at a distance. Cockroaches will flee the paint which has been washed in cool alnm water. Sngar barrels and boxes can be freed from ants by drawing a chalk mark just around the edge of the top of them. The mark must be unbroken, or they will creep over it; but a contiunons chalk mark half an inch in width will set their depredations at naught. Pow dered alum or borax will keep the chinch bag at a respectable distance, and travelers should always carry a pack age in their hand bags, to scatter over and under their pillows, in places where they have reason to suspect the pres ence of such bed-fellows. The Last Chinese Porcelain. Eilward King writes in the Boston Journa': Three centuries sufficed to com plete the ruin of Chinese porcelain mak ing. The workmen were apparently paralyzed. Their arms lost their cun ning; secrets of color disappeared. There in a god of porcelains in China; he mnst feel sad at times. This god was a poor workman in dim ages past, but a work man of signal talent, and every year lie brought forth some beautiful work which won him renown. But just as was at the height of his glory he becaiuo so enrage. 1 or was so filbxl with despair, because an experiment which he was making in the burning of two vases seemed "certain to fail, that be threw himself headlong into his own furnace, and he and his talant were speedily lost to the world. His friend, however, brought the story to the ears of the em peror. That jKitentate expressed his profound grief, but at the same time, having an eye to business, told the friends to rake out the furnace and see if the unhappy artist's experiment had really been unsuccessful.

Birthdays and Wedding Days. We suppose any day is lucky on which a happy marriage is consummated, but the following ia the old saw on this sub ject: Monday for wealth, Tuesday for health, Wednesday the test of all, Thursday for crosses, Friday for losses. Saturday no luck at all. The parties to a marriage can select the day of its celebration, but it ia not so easy to choose the day of one's birth, and yet these, too, hail their meaning: Born of a Monday, Fair in face; Born of a Tuesday, Full of God's graoe; Born of a Wednesday, Merry and glad; Born of a Tnursday, Sour and sad; Born of a Friday, Godly given; . Born of a Saturday. Work for your living; Born of a Sunday, Never shall want; So there's the week. And the end on't. FOR THE YOINH PEOPLE. Tss Hswlshed Wsrtw The Ring -if Macaroons wan dressing himself, with the help of his chamber lain, one morning, wlicu to his dismay he found tluit there was a hole in his a tucking. •• lVar me 1" said the king, " look here ! 1 really mnat get a wife." "Just what I should have said," re- ! turned tlie chamberlain, "only 1 knew your majesty was going to make the same remark." "Good," said the king: "tint do you think I could easily find a wife to suit me ? You know 1 am very difficult to nlease. My oueen must be clever and beautiful, and besides which she must lie able to make gingerbread nuts, for yon know how foud 1 am of tlieni; ami there is not a perwou in my kingdom who knows how to make them jnvja'rly neither too hard nor ti>o soft.' The chamberlain was astonished to hear this, aud felt rather iucliued to laugh, but he answered very properly, " A great king like your majesty must surely lw< able to And a princess wh<> knows how to make gingerbread-uuta." That very day tlie king and Ins minis ter set off to look tor a wife for the king, paving visits to all the neighbors who had priuoeasea to dispute of. They could only hear of three at all hkelv to suit, and of these three not oue could make gingerbread-nut*. The tirst princes* said she could make delicious almond-cakes, if they would do. Hut the king said, "No no—noth ing but gingerbread uuts will do." The second princess turned away very angrily when she was asked the que*- tion. Hut the thirvl, quite tlie cleverest and prettiest of the three, la-fore the king Lad tune to apeak, put a question of her owu. "Could the king," she asked, "play on the harp? If not, she was sorry, really sorry, as she liked the look of linn—but she could not la? his wife. She hail resolved never to marry any man who could not play the harp. So the king had to come lioui<- without a queen; but as the holes in his stock ing* grew larger, he felt that he reallv must make another effort to tiud a wife. "Go to the first princess and ask her," said he to his clmtulierlaiu. V 1 must give up the gingerbread-nuts, I suppose, aud be oouteuted with almond cakes." The chamberlain went, ami came back with the uews that tin* princess had just married somebody else. Then the kiug sent him to the second princess; but she had unfortunately just died. And no there was only the harp princess left. In despair, he sent to her; and, to his great joy, she consented to do without the harp, ami to be his wife. 80 they were married with very great rejoicings, aud lived in the great*t hap piness for a whole year. The king had Forgotten all about the gmgerbread mits, and the queen alt about the harp. One morning, however, the king got out of bed with his left foot tirst, which made everything go wrong all through the day; aiid so the king ami queen hail a quarrel. What it was aland thev retdly did not kuow; but they were both snappish and (tow, and determined to have the last word. "You'd better hold your tongne, and not keep on tindiug fault with every thing and everv body," said the queen at last. " Why, yon can't even play the harp." "At any rate," returned tlie king, " vou can't make gingerbread-unta." For the first time the queen had nothing to say. Aud, indeed, tlie nil ineut the word harp had passed her hps she was sorry she had said it, ami she ran away at once into her own apart ments, and, throwing herself on the cushions of her sofa, had a good cry. The king, on the other hand, paced up and down the room, rubhiiig his hands in great glee. " What a good thing for me my wife can't muke gingcrbread-unta, otherwise I should not have had a word to answer about the harp," he said. Presently, however, he looked at the portrait of the queen, which was haug iug on the wall. "My poor little wife! I dare say, after all, she is sorrv to have teased me," he said; " I think I'll go and sec what she is sbont. Perhaps she may be crying her pretty eyes oak" As it happened, the king and queen each thinking of the other, ran into each other's arms in the great corridor, on which their rooms opened; and there they kissed, and made up tneir quarrel, and vowed never to have another. " I tell you what we will do," said the king; "we will banish two words from our kingdom, under pain of death, and those are harp and— " " Gingerbread-nuta," interrupt*'l the qneen, laughing low, while she wiped a tear from her cheek. A bisantlc Japanese Statue. The Philadelphia says: If there were nothing else to msrk the skill, gen ius and artistic workmanship of the Japanese, the great bronze statue of I>ia Bootsz would be sufficient to make their name imperishable. Dia Bootsz would be worthy of a place among the wonders of the world, equally so with the Colos sus of Rhodes, Cleopatra's N< edles or the Sphinx o? Egypt. This sacred im age was not only built of bronze, but the joints were so exact in their tit that they were barely perceptible to the closest observer. Its base rested on a dais of , masonry about live feet in height. The elevation of the body was five jios, or fifty feet; betweeu the edge of the hair of the head ami the legs crossed, forty two feet; from knee to knee, seated cross-legged, thirty-six feet, and the circumference of the body was ninety eight feet. The following were the minor dimensions: Face, eight ami a half feet long; circular spot on forehead, one and a half feet in circumference; eyes four feet long; eyebrows, four feet two and a half inches; ear, six feet seven inches; nose three feet nine inches vertical and two feet fonr inches horizontal measurement; month, four : feet three and a half inches wide; sliAved portion of head on top, called kikkokre, two feet four inches in diameter. The spirally curled locks of hair on the head were nine and s half inches wide and 830 in number. Each thumb measured throe feet in circumference. These fig ures will convey some idea of the dimen sions, if not the magnificence, of this almost superhuman exhibition of Japan ese art. The interior of the statne formed a beautiful temple, iu which gill images of Ruddiest saints, with croziers and glories and other appropri ate objects of worship or reverence. In front and at the foot of the statue was an altar, on which were incense ]H>tsand urns, to receive the votive nfleriugs of visitors attracted thither bv sentiments of religious fervor or curiosity. Near lv was the residence of the priestly custodl- i ans of the sacred place. Here also were pictures of the prophet, and refreshing potations of tea were purchasable at low rates. The scenic effect of the im mediate surroundings of the place were in keeping with the statue. The back ground consisted of a mass of gre n and towering trees, the brood way leading np was raised at regular intervals by small steps, and on either side, growing in all the luxuriance of the country, were azaleas and flowering plants. The | magnificent statue itself out of this scene of beauty rose in all its magnitude and symmetry of proportions. Before it at a short distance could be seen the rolling indigo-blue waves of the ocean. The ancient magnificence of Kumnkuru was attested by the numerous ruins which strew the plains. Here are hun dreds of temple* ami shrines; the Hachiman giu (temple of Huchiman)u < deified hero of thebushi (military) clans; several tori (stone |ortuls), supposed to havo been the remains of mime scored vestibule; the Aka bash (lied Bridge); j Niwoomon (gate of the two kings); a belfry (shinroo), in which was a large bronze bell, made to resonud on relig ious occasions by striking with a piece of timber swung on ropes. In this temple, said to have been the oldest in the empire, was the famous stone resorted to by the feminine part of the mikado's subjects for the property of curing barrenness. In the rear, reached by a long flight of steps, was a small temple, in which the renowned Taiko samo, the first of the Bhiogoons, wor shipped the divinities of his country. Nome KpHnpho.

The sardine fisheries have supported many families for generations. The chief supply originally came from off Sardinia, whence they take their name, bnt for a long time they were mainly caught on the coaat of Brittany. Knr ilinea are nan ally abundant in French waters in this season, and the catch will be larger than in any previous year, A sardine fleet consists of vessels from eight to ten tons each, with a crew of from six to twelve persons, and goes six to nine miles from land. The bait con sisting of eggs snd fish, cat np, is scat tered on the water. The sardines are taken with gill nets. A few are salted on lioard, hut the balk are carried on shore. Their heads are cut off, and they are well weshed and sprinkled with salt. After drying, they are arranged in ' rnmes, in almost perpendicular rows, &ud immersed again and again in the best boiling olive oil. When sufficient ly cured they are packedin the small tin boxes by w men and childreu, after which men fill the boxes UP with fresh oil and solder them tight. The work is not complete, however, for before tit for the table the fish require cooking. To this end they are placed in a covered kettle and boiled from half an hour tonn hour, according to their size. After dry ing, labelling, and placing in wooden cases they are ready for shipment. The American sardine, or menhaden, is taken in large quantities on the coast of New Jersey and put up in oil. A (.iit's Foster Children. Here is a ease for the naturalist. At the fair grounds there is s feminine cat which has brought up snd reared two young skunka. Hhe stickled them with the same fondness and maternal affection as if they were her own progeny. The skunks were deodorized, and, of course, did not excite the repugnance of their foster mother on that score. They were ss playful as kittens, but, as thev grew up in discretion and sknnkhooii, they began to develop into creatures bearing very little resemblance to the cat species; bnt this did not excite the disgust of their mother. Hhe had adopted them, and overlooked the deficiencies of well bred cats. They curled their bushy tails on their back aud manifested no disposition to slyly lay in wait and spring on their victims. Their instincts were entirely different. They had a penchant, for eggs snd other delicate food, instead of mice and birds. A few days ago it was decided to separate the 1 eat from the skunks, aud by weaning the latter teach them to shift, for them selves. The separation has grieved the old cat, and twice u ilay, Mr. Kalb states, she visits her foster-children, and, watching them through the Imrs of their cage, manifests a mother's fond- j uess, evidently desiring to give them Rustenaueo. The skunks also appear to take the privation to heart, and want to be with old stepmother.— St. l,ouis •, Ut publican. p KLKCTKIU EKIJ. Hew The* " Mherh " Maw eu.l Ktsli Pb rainrlwl lie, bier*.

A recent travelver in Palestine was astonished by the number and preserva tion of roads built in the Roman era. They were laid onf on all main routes, and were constructed so perfectly that in ntanv sections they endure to-day as well as if finished not long ng<>. The country of Palestine was one of the most difficult sort to carry a system of road ways over, aud yet its obstacle* were surmounted with" the least possible ex jxenditnre of labor. Every ronte was cnrled on each side by linos of stones projecting from one to two feet above the surface of the soil. Between these boundaries the avenue was paved. Streams were crossed by bridges, whose *tvie remains preserved alone in those of Italy to the present hour—as, for ex ample. those of Venice. Valleys were treverse. 1 b) viaducts; and causeways carried the lino up or down mountain si les, either by piers of raasouary or in channels sufficiently wide cut out of liv iug rock. Often zig rags and steps were resorted to in climbing steep as cents. Whenever the streets passed over solid rock the wear of the chariot wheels in course of time made ruts, which remain to-day, as plain and deep as when the last car passed over. How a Town was Tuken. A very good story is told of the island of Hark, a small island which lies in the English Channel. It is said to have been once taken by the French, who, however, held it only a short tunc. One morning, a peaceful-looking merchant ship, ts'iiring s flag of trnec, appeared off the island, and, sending off a boat the officer iu command told the French men that one of the crew, a native of the island, had died on board, and had e* pressed s wish to be buried in his native soil, snd he asked that the deceaseds companions might ho allowed to carry out hia desire. The Frenchmen politely Consented, and accordingly the shqis' crew soon appeared, bringing with them the coffin, which they carried into the little church. They then requested that they might bo permitted to perform their own service over the body; and this also was granted, BH the English sailors were uuanncd, and had therefore Revo rise to no apprehensions. No sootier, however, had the French left the church than the coffin, which was full of arms and nmmnition, was opened, •mil, as the church commanded the town, the island was taken almost without ; opposition. The little bit of a girl wanted more and more buttered toast, till she was told that too much would make her sick.

The door of*the bird's cage was occasionally left open that be might enjoy the freedom of the room. One day he happened to alight upon the mantelshelf where there was a mirror. Here was a new diaoovrry of the moat profound interest. He gaaed long and curiously at himself, and came to the conclusion that he had found a mate. Going bark to his cage, he selected a seed from his box, and brought it in his bill as an offering to the stranger. In vain the canary exerted himself to make his new-found friend partake, and becoming weary of that, tried another tack. Stepping back a few inches from the glass, he {toured forth his sweetest notes, pausing now and then for a reply. None came, and moody and dispirited be flew back to his perch, hanging his head in shame and silence for the rest of the day; and al though the door was repeatedly left opeL, he refused to come out again.
