I the horse will net as if he wan sound. 'Another method iu a case like thin in to sever the nerros of the foot, there being two nerves, one on each side of tho foot. Thin deprives the lower part of the limb of all sensation, and the horse will go sound for perhaps a year, when tho nerves will form together again. "Tho leopard may not bo able to change his soots, but a good trainer can take an^tiimal and make him a home or an A tier color. He will uee nitrate of ^Hver (peroxide of hydrogen) to blc^ki different parts of tho body HOMff make tliein match. Suppose you hail a team of sorrels; one had a silver oiane and tail and tho other had not. Tho trainer would bleach the mane and tail of tho latter. If a star was wanted in tho forehead lie could put it there or produce for you a white nose, one or more white logs, bleaching them so as to make them match. If a horse's tail is not big enough or symmetrical he can switch in some false tail, just as the ladies do with their hair. "A horse will show his age by tho hollownesH over his eyes. In such a case the trainer will introduce a.little tube, and, by blowing in air, will eatiHO tho hollows to puft'up, and if tho chest or shoulder of a horse is astrophied?what is known as sweeney of the shoulder ?he will introduce a little tube and blow up the skin. This condition in a horse can always be detected by pulling tho Hkin, which will crackle under the touch ; it will not have t^WolTd tcclrttg of desh.

Tlio trainer, to mislead those who aro interested in the horse, will art ificially excavate or cut out the surplus of the teeth aud blacken thcin with nitrate of silver. This can alwnys be detected in a 'bishoped mouth,'as it is called, by the absence of the ring of enamel around this black cup, it being always present in young horses. "The shape of a horse's teeth from yontli to age is oval, then triangular, thou flattened on the sides, the latter beiug tho shape of the tooth itself. The root is very narrow, and as tho tooth wears off it assumes that shape. "Bui there are tricks especially connected with tho races. In a running race supposo a trainer wants his liorso to lose. To inialead tho publio ho will hire a good jpekey and just before tho animal goes to tho post he will give him a pailful of wator. This, of course, causes tho horse, before he goes very far, to feel troubled about his wind, and, in jockey parlance, he is called 'a dead horse.' The jockov is not supposed to know anything about this proceeding. A pail of wator or somo anodyne like opium will be sutlicieut to make a horse 'logoy' and lazy and cause him to lose a race which lie would otherwise win. "Sometimes a pebble or a nail will bo put under a horse's shoe to cause him to go laiue, so that tho owner can scratch him. Of course, the stewards of a racing club do not allow a horse In lin nnlfiNN fliere is n vr>rv good excuse, but if nn owner does not waut his horse to run he can put some foreign body under the shoe or tie a string around tho ankle pretty tight, which causes tho leg to swell and tho horse to be lanurtho next morning. "An injection of hydro-chlorate ol cocaine is often put into horses to make them run faster, and undoubtedly it does have that effect. This is ino samo modicino the leaves of which Weston, the pedestrian, used to chew when he mndo his long journeys. To show the efficiency of the trick I will say that tho preparation was once introduced into a liorso callodSpartucus. Ho was a very well-bred horse, but wind broken. A half drachm of this solution was introduced hvperdorinically. A strong man was put on the horse's hack with orders to jog him until the half-mile post and then let him go for a mile. The horse went along easily for the first half-mile, then took the bit and ran steadily for tive miles, the jockey being obliged, from sheer exhaustion, to fall off. Tho horse was tinallv stormed bv a row of ineu standing, across tho truck. The effect of thie-'*'action generally lusts for about hV"l ^ hour. It is used a great deal. VJ "I onco <\l perimented with this medicine. A "number of old horses were brought in, and two of them dropped from sheer exhaustion half a mile from the establishment. They could not make the animals move. Wo gave each of them an injection of cocaine, and in tivo minutes they got on their feet, and not only appeared strong, but actually ran and appeared very lively. This illustrates the stimulating effect of tho drug. "Kloctricity is also used to increase a horse's speed. A jockey will carry a battery attached to a belt around his body, the conductors passing to the spurs on each foot. The application of the spurs to the side of tho an m il completes the circuit and transmits to the horse's body the electrical impulse, and induces the animal to greater speed. Several jockeys have been dtsvj^vreil using this appliance. " iluuntngxioraes are nerved for lameness in the f(\t.

Baking Powder J -ELY PURE The Oldest Trees. * The Soma cypress of Lombardy is, I believe, the oldest tree of which there is any authentic reeor*!. it is knows ^ to have been in existence in 42 B. C. There are, however, many trees for which a vastly greater antiquity is claimed. Tho Scucgal baobabs?some of them?are said to bo 5900 years old. The 1h> tree of Auuradhapura, in Ceylon, is perhaps the oldest specimen of another very long-lived species; it iB held sacred iqion tho gronnd that it sprang from a branch of the identical tree tinder which Buddha reclined for seven years wtiJi- *mdcrgciug Liu apotheosis. This oak is well known to bo a long liver, and thero are specimens still standing in Palestine, of which the tradition goes that .they grew out of (Iain's staff. Tho hawthorn, again, sometimes lives to be ? very old ; there is said to bo one inside Cawdor Castle of an "immemorial age." Tho cedars of Lebanon may also be mentioned, and there uru, according to Dean Stanley, still eight of the olives of Gethsemauo standing, "whoso gnarled trunks and scanty foliage will always be regarded as the most affecting of the sacred memorials in or about Jerusalem."?Notes and Queries.
