Floors for Horse Stables.
As long as we can remember, the
question as to the best floors for horse
stables has been discussed. We have
tried clay and ordinary dirt, but they
did not prove satistactory, Holes w ould
be dug almost daily by the forefeet’ the
urine would gather there, and uniess
great care was taken to fill then up and
to smooth over the soil daily and wash
the horses’ feet, seratehes would follow,
and probably what is commonly called
quarter-crack result, which is likely
permanently to injure the
Sand and even sawdust have heen
recommended, but as they were clearly
not desirable, we never tried either.
We began with plank flooring, were
dissuaded from using it, but have re
urned to it, and found it preferable to
the others. We prefer hemlock, a
double two-inch plank, with the front
part kept well covered with straw at all
times for the fore-feet, and au nights to
be weli-bedded with straight rye straw.
We have found no disadvantages from
the flooring: the teet have not suffered,
£0 far as we can discover. Some object
to the planks, first, because they
are hard, and others that they be-
come slippery, and the horse is
liable to fall and stmin himsell
in getting up; but, if we re
member rightly, the plank roads were
pot objected to on account of their hard.
ness or slipperyness; and as to slipping,
if the flooring is a little inclined the
water is oarrted back, whence a slicht
gutter, also inclining somewhat, either
removes it from the stable on the outside,
or itis allowed to pass under the floor
through small holes in the gutter. But
where these arrangements have not
been made, a oovering of sifted
coal over the floor will pre.
vent the slipping. We have known
floors in stalls to be made of boards or
planks turned up on an edge, which is
about as hard as anything can be; also,
of flagstones, mortar, and even of as-
phaltum, all which we should suppose
might prove injurious to the animal,
but we have never heard that they
were. Hemlock planks, laid as we have
mentioned, will prove, take all the cir
cumstances into consideration, about as
satisfactory as anything that can be
substitu‘ed, and far neater and not more
expensive. —Germaniown Telegraph.

Bells and Their History.
Bells are of very ancient origin. They |
are mentioned as worn on the high |
priest's robes ( Exodus xxviii. 33). The |
prophet Zachariah (xvi.20) speaks of
* helis of the horses,” which were prob- |
ably hung on the bridles of war horses |
to accustom them to noise,
Bells were used by the Greeks and |
Romans in private houses and iu camps |
and garrisons. The hour of bathing at |
Rome was announced by the sound
of a bell, The priest of Proserpine, at
Athens, rung a bell to call the people to
sacrifice. According to Pliny, the mon-
ument of Porsenna was decorated with
i Sheep-bells of bronze were used |
in ancient Italy, and are yet preserved
in the museum of Naples,
ells were brought into use for
churches by Paulinus, bishop of Nola,
in Campania, about the year 1400, They
are first mentioned in England by Bede,
toward the end of the seventh century.
Chimes, or peals of bells, are of an-
cient date, the first chimes introduced
into England having been put up at
Croyland Abbey, in 860,
In the cathedral of Limerick, Ireland,
is a chime of bells about which an af-
fecting story is told. They were made
MWS,
A revolution swept the land ; he became |
a refugee and an exile; the monastery
was destroved; the bells were carried
off. After many years of wandering, he
came to Ireland. As the vessel which
carried him sailed along the placid
Shannon the sunset chimes rang out
from the cathedral, and he recognized
the sweet sounds: Thev came trom the
bells which he had made. He leaned
against the railing of the deck and lis.
tened in silent rapture to the well
known, Jong-unheard music. The boat
reached the wharf; the sailors spoke to
him, then touched him--he was dead
His spirit bad departed while listening |
to the ravishing sounds
Some writers say that 1he custom of
christening bells was introduced by
Pope John XIII, whe occupied the
pontifical chair from 965 to 972, and who
first consecrated a bell in the Lateran
oburch and gave it the name of John the
Raptist. But it is evidently of an older
standing. for there is an express prohibi
tion of the practice in a capitular of
Charlemagne, in 759,
Pope John IX. ordered bells to be
rung as a defense against thunder and
lightning. in the year 900. All the bells
in Europe were rung in 1456, by order
of Pope Calixtus Il1L, to scare away
Halley's comet, which was supposed to |
be in some manner identified with Mo.
hammed 1I., who had just taken Con.
stantinople. The comet left, but Mo-
hammed stayed.
[t was an ancrent custom to ring bells
for persons about to expire, to notify the
people to pray for them, from which
arose the name of “ passing bells.” It
was supposed that the sound of the
bells drove away evil spirits. The
wealthy were induced to bequeath prop-
erty for the support of favorite bells,
which were t) be rung at their funerais.
During the thirteenth century, lsrge
bells began to be cast. The “Jacque.
line” of Paris, cast in 1300, weighed 15,-
000 pounds: one cast in Paris in 1472,
weighed 15,000 pounds; the bell of
Rouen, cast in 1501, weighed over 36,-
000 pounds.
The great bell of Moscow, cast by or-
der of Empress Anne, in 1734, weighed
193 tons, It remained suspended only
until 1737, when it fell, in consequence
of a fire, and remained partially buried
in the earth until 1837, when it was |
raised, and now forms the dome of a
chapel formed by excavating the earth
underneath. Some deny that the bell
was ever suspended, while others in-
sist that it was, and that, when in mo-
tion. it azilated the air of the surround-
ing country for forty miles.
The great bell of Burmah, at a temple
in the environs of Amarapoora, weighs
260,000 pounds. Klaprath statesthat in
an edifice before the great temple of
Buddah, at Jeddo, is the largest bell in
the world. It weighs 1,700,000 povnds,
four times greater than the great bell of
Moscow, and fifty-six times larger than |
the great bell of Westminster, England.
The finest bell in England was the
great Tom of Lincoln, considerably
older than St. Paul's. Its elevation gave |
it an horizon of fifty miles in every di-
rection. Its note was like the chord of
A upon a full organ. It fell from its
support and was destroyed.
On the largest of three bells placed by
Edward IIL. in the Little Sanctuary,
Westminster, are these lines:
“ King Edward made me thirty-thousand |
weight and three;
Take me down and weigh me, and more you
shall find me.”
On the famous alarm bell called Ro-
land, in a belfry tower in the once pow-
erful eity of Ghent, is engraved the sub-
joined inscription, inthe old Walloonor
Flemish dialect:
“My name is Roland; when I toll there is
fire,
And when I ring there is victory in the
and!"
The bell known as the Liberty bell, |
which, ‘on the fourth of July, 1776, an-
nounced the signing of the Declaration
of Independence, in Philadelphia, has
upon it the following inscription, taken
from Leviticus, xxv. 10;
* Proclaim liberty throughout the |
land, unto all the inhabitants thereof."

{ containing 148 diamonds. In the front
{ of the crown, and in the center of a din-

| suid to have been given to Edward 111,
called the black prince, by Don Pedro,
king of Castile, after the battle of Va-
ra. near Vittorio, A. D., 1367. This
ruby was worn in the helmet of Henry
V. at the battle of Agincourt, A. D.,
1415. It is pierced quite through, after
the Eastern custom, the upper part of the
piercing being filled by a small ruby.
Around the ruby, in order to form the
cros8, are seventy-five brilliant
monds. Three other Maltese crosses,
forming the two sides and back of the
crown, have emerald centers, and con-

form of the French fleur-de-lis, with four
rubies in the centers, and surrounded by

rose diamonds, From the Maltese cross

arches are suspended four large pendant
pear shaped pearls with rose diamond
caps, containing twenty-four very small
rose diamonds. Above the arch stands
the mound, containing in the lower

The Effect of Coffee.
Dr. Richardson, the eminent English
geientist, refers to a statement that cof.

keeps up constant irritation of the
spirits, ete,
ns coffee cannot be taken in excess with-
but moderately used it is an invigorat-

The quantity taken, however, must not
be large, and should he good.
Dr. Bock, of Leipsic, another cele-
brated scientist, says:
chiefly attributable th tea and coffee:
the digestive organs of confirmed coffee
drinkers are in a state of chronic de-
rangement, which reacts on tlie brain,
producing fretful and

which I might describe as a mania for
acting the persecuted saint. Cocoa and

Jocts, and is really the most harmless of
our fashionable drinks.”

pane of lass will cut a clean hole
through the pane the size of the bullet,
cracking the pane but breaking out no
pieces except the one before it. This
curious principle is made use of in
marine and other gunnery ships when
near together, using very small charges
of powder which causes the ball to
crash in a ship's timber, while with a
heavy charge it would cut a hole only
the size of itself. This attribute of
jectiles hins received a very curious illus-
tration at a house in the suburbs of
Waco, Texas, The lady was startled
by a crash, and entering the room where
it occurred saw lying on the floor asmall
bird hawk fluttering in death, while
near it lay a little bird dead, and
which it kad evidently just dropped
from its talons. The hawk in
making the dive after its prey
had misoaloulated and struck the
window. And now comes the curiosity.
| In the center of the pane of ginss was a
hole through which the hawk had
come in, and seemingly smaller than
the bird itself, while the pane though
erscked was unbroken in any other
place, The rapidity with which birds
fly can be estimated from this fact,
since its projective foroe was sufficient
to produce the effect of a slowly moving
pistol ball.
