A Russian Mob Oatgeaeralcd.
Referring to the French theaters at
Constantinople anil St Petersburg, and
discussing the probability of tlioir re
maining open or of their being cloeed
while war is in progress, a writer in a
French paper relates what took plaoe in
the latter city when the French army
was marching upon Mosoow.
Mile. Georges, of the Oomedie Fran
oaise, was just then the idol of the St.
Petersburg plaj goers, and, though the
news of French victories arrived in the
oity, she continued to play, by order of the
emperor, but not without some apprehen
sion as to the result in ooneequenoe of the
growing hatred of the populaoe against
tha ,French. After having appeared
eveiy evening |gfc two or tibftjw weeks,
she was informed, when about to start
for the theater fa the court carriage,
whkh was alwajd plaoed at her disposal,
that a band of moujtka, armed with thick
Jtieka, had oplleoted outside the theater
?iui intent upon procuring ad
waa with great diAeulty
who played with
?sassaEdHBffil
carringo.
' ^Jount Narisobkine, the superintendent
of the imperial theaters, endeavored do
?llay her fears, brjt she felt more emo
tton as the curtain rose than upon that
memorable night when she played before
a partorro of kings, and on looking round
the theater, whiA was filled from top to
bottom with the sovAge moujiks, she fell
fainting into the arms of tho actor who
was standing- beside her. As she was
being carried off the atage, the moujiks,
* Branching their sticks, attempted to
#rco their way in pursuit of her ; but
NanHchkine, who hod been watching the
scone from behind the wings, oame for
ward, and by a motion of his hand kept
thom back. Several offioers of the army
were with him, and upon a sign from one
of them the doom of the stalls, gnllories
and boxes were thrown open, disoloeing
tho Preobrajenski grenadiers with load
ed muskets and fixed bayonets.
At the same time a detachment of
soldiers came forward on to the stage,
and one of the servants of the theater
brought a table with pons and ink, and
laid down a plank to enable the moujiks
to step on the stogefrom the body of the
house. But beforo they woro al owed
to do so Oount Nnrisohkino addressed
them as follows: "My good fellows,
I*,,7 l>0 tlie nHe of yonr insulting
or lulling inoffensive actors, who aro, in
addition, onr guests ? I can give yon
better advice than that. Come up to
this table, and enroll yourselves to serve
in the outposts, where you will be able
to prove your devotion to holy Russia
end yen* love for her master, our re
spected and glorious emperor." Not a
Bingle moujik uttered a murmur, and*
they oame up one after auother, de
posited their sticks, signed their named
or made their marks, and started for
Mosoow.?Aim Mall (latctte.

"true heir," William T. Lawrenoe, and
that favorable opinions hare been gton

Lawrences and declared tliat the right

W4tn*? adds:??
There are a good many New Yorkors
interested in this case, whatever there
may or may not bo in it. The "true
heir," William T. Lawrence, is a resi
dent of Lantingburg. The managing
heir on the Canadian side has been W.
D. Hammond, of Wardsville, Ont. The
heirs wer<v?*dvertised for by the English
relatives in the Jferald of February 18,
1859, and November 5, 1874, and somo
forty of them met at Toronto, represent
ing families in Cauudti, New York, Penn
sylvania, Wisconsin and Ohio, claiming
descent from Jolin and Mary Townley
Lawrence, direct or collateral. Accord
ing to tho report presented at this meot
ing, the Lawreuoes have obtained a
oomplete historical record from tho mid
dle of tho twolth to the middle of tho
eighteenth century. Tho founder of the
honao, Sir Robert Lawrence, was born in
Rome, in 1160, but removed to Lauca
shiie, aorv d with distinction in the Crn
.todos, ac . -n 1191 was knighted and re
ceived a grant of Ash ton Hall. Tho
Lawrenoe* mud ToWnleys intermarried,
and imbaeqtiently two other large estates
"fswere adjoined by the marriage of a fe
male Townley with Bir Francis Howard
(afterward Lord Effingham), of Corby
Castle, and of a male Townley with the
daughter of William, Lord Widrington.
Toward the end of the seventeenth oeu
tury a Miss Townley sloped with one of
the Lawrences, and was disinherited by
her angry fathoV; her mother, however,
held in her own namo aud bequeathed
her property to her daughter. Tho girl
and her lover ca.ao over to the ooloniee,
their dosoeudantu settling in New Eng
land and ZJova Sooti*. The last de
lay American claimant must bo
demonstrated. The Canadian claimants
seem confident of being able to prove
their title, one of them exhibiting a cof
fer of the said Triplienia Lawrenoe, and
another a deod in which her name oo
curs. Tho procise value of tho English
estate, it inay here bo said, is $500,000,

How to Get Hieli.
Tlie folio-wing Btory is told of n
German farmer living in the town of
Calumet, Win.: He came to this oonn
try from Germany twenty-flvo years ngo
and pre-empted a piece of land in tlic
town where he now lives. He was then
very poor, probably not having 825 all
told, but he poasossed a wrnderful
energy and on unparalleled tact for get
ting along without any outside aid.
When he wanted anything he wont to
work to make it, paying out nothing for
wagons, sleighs, harness or clothing.
In cutting the timber (or his log house,
he found A bee tree, and followed up
this disoovery by othors of a like sort,
socuriug both b?es oud honey.; The
bees ho kept, ond for years ho had honey
to eat and to soil. He had no money to
pay for getting his land broken up, so
he bought five or six hogs, and, tying a
rope round tho hind legs of each, fast
ened the other end of theropo to a stump,
and all the grain ho sowed tho first year
was where these "sharks" had rooted
up the ground. F</r wagon wheels
he sawed off the ends of a good sized
log, and the rest of tho primitive vehicle
he had no trouble in making. Ho mado
a rude sleigh, bringing tho runuers high
up in front, and joining them together.
He mode harnesses of robes or hides,
which answered every purpose, and
the man is to-day rinh, nearly all the
clothing for hia family being homo made.
He has now on hand a farm for ono son, J
and desires to buy ono for another aon,
saying he will pay $10,000 in onsh for a I
pieoegf laud that will suit him. He |
puts no money in the bank, owns no
bonds, but keeps the cash carefully hid
den fsny. * "*? ? T 1
Impure Atmosphere.
In about two and a half minutes all
the blood contained in tho human sys
tem, amounting in the adnlt to uesrly
three gallons, traverses the respiratory
surface. Every one, then, who breathes
an impure atmosphere two and a half
miattee has every particle of his blood
aetcd on by tho vitiating air. Every
particle has become less vital ?less eapa- ;
ble of repairing structures, or of carry* f
ing on functions ; snd tho longer such
air is respired, the more impure it be
oomes and the more oorrnpted grows the
blood. Permit me to repeat that after
breathing for two and * half minutes an
atmosphere incapable of properly atj- j
genet ing the fluids whioh are traversing
the lnngs, every drop of blood in the
human being is more or leas poisoned ;
and in two and * half minutes more,
even the minutest part of all man's ftne
wrooght organs has been visited and
acted upon by this poisoned fluid??he
tender delicate eye, the wakeful ear, the
sensitive nerves, the heart, the brain, j
together with the skin, tho muscles, the
bones throughout thetr structure?in |
short, the entire being. There is not a |
point in the human frame but has been
traversed by vitiated blciiy not a point '
bnt must have suffered injury. ' %

being at Kara. Their right wing was
sent against the seoond line of Turkish

GRACE WYNNE.
It was by no means singular that (trace
Wynne received by acclamation the tohriqutt
of "thevillage hello." Bhe wan Jtist one of
those bright-faced, merry maidens who take
men's heart* by storm?one moment bringing
tliem to her feet by a Mingle smile from her
bine ?yen, the next torturing them by cokl ro
serve. Tl>e way she queened it Ovor the Tillage
bean* wan scandalous in th'e eyes of all sensi
ble women.
Wall, there were half a score who paid atten
tions, bat we cannot stop to give the history of
their wooing. It ia enough to say [that among
them all, Grace had not found one for whom
she would give up her gay, girlish freedom. Be
sides, she was quite too young to think of mar- I
riage. Aunt Patty and her mother called her I
"child" and "baby," and wondered that any |
mnn in his senses should think of such a thing
as marrying a girl who could neither make a
shirt nor l>ake a loaf of bread.
"Now there's Jane," Aunt Patty would say,
whenever the subject was broached, "there's
Jane?a real smart, capable'girl, thirty yonrs
old, and a good wholesome looking girl, too,
if she aint so vejy handsome. Why don't the
foolish critters ask her V"
Not one was able to answer that question, al
though Grace once ventured to say :
" Blwi'a too stiff and dignified and proper? ]
ahe is waiting for some good old minister. Ho
must be a widower, with seven or eight mother
less infants to be trained up in the way they
ahould go."
But Grace was out short in the midst of her
description of Jane's future prospects by the in
dignant Aunt Patty.
" Yon vain, silly and wicked girl I You'd
oughter to be ashamed of youraelf for making
stioh an nnohristian speech as that! Jane's
Just as likoly to get married as you be?and a
good deal more, If men wasn't such foola as to
think more of pretty looks than they do of
smartness and capableness."
Gi *oe Wynne was Just entering her eighteenth
rear, when I he following advertisement ap
poered 011 the first page of the flherrytown j
I tanner :
" Hslk-tHcuool ton Yovxa Lawks.--Henry |
Bnrnard, A. A, will open a select school for I
young ladies in the hall over Jal>cz Grant's |
warehouse, on Tuesday, the twentieth day of (
August. Knglish branches, $4 per term of
twelve weeks. Languages, fa extra.''
Then followed a list of references for the
benefit of those who might wish to inquire
'<> the moral oharacter and abilities of Mr.
nard.
Punctually at nine, o'clock, on Tuesday morn
ing, the new teacher called hia pupils to order.
He was quite a young man, not over one and
twenty, with a Tery pleasing face, a profusion
of dark waving hair, bright brown eyes and a
merry smile. In short, ha would have been
Jnst light for a hero of romance, had it not
teen for an unfortunate lameness whloh some
what marred the effect of his fine faco and
compelled bim to walk with a cane. Rome of
the young ladies declared that this only made
Mr. Barnard moro Interesting, and added to,
rather than detracted from, hia Vauty. But
Grace Wynne stonily Insisted he was horrid
and lookod as cross as a hear. The discussion
took place after schorl, and was finished by
Grace, who, swinging her hat over her head,
"Just as she turned down the lane that led to
Iter home, cried with a lfght laugh :
" I will rrrign all claim to Mr. Barnard. I
don't like him at all-'and shan't think of such
a thing aa flirting with him I"
Unfortunate Gra^e 1 The words were no
sooner uttered than her eyes fell npon the
figure of the gentleman himself.
" I was Just on my way to your house, Miss
Wynne," he Raid gravely, as he Joined her and
walkod along by her tddo. "I wbh recommend
ed to apply to your mother for board this
Bummer."
Qrace wbh too much confnscd to reply. For
once sho was really disconcerted. But Mr.
Barnard wont on talking ho eatfily and freely,
that Grace soon recovered heraelf, and before ,
they reached the house door, was able to an- I
Hwer his questions.
In less than a week from that <lay, the new (
teacher was quito domiciliated in the family of
Mrs. Wynne.
The first snow of winter (ell early in Novem- .
bor. and by Thanksgiving day tbcro was fine j
sleighing. Ho the Cherrytown beaux met one I
evening at Jabez Grant's house to plan a ride
for the evening beforo Thanksgiving. There j
was a good hotel in tlio town of Chester, about j
ten miles distant, a famous roBort on all rtieh
ooensions, and thither it was determined to go. ]
They were to Bet out in single sleighs at six ;
olo ek, have a little dance in tho ball of the j
inn, and a supper at ten, after which they were '
to return home.
The girls wore delighted, especially those who ,
were quite sure of being invited. Some of the
older ones thought it would bo much more j
social and pleasant to go in lflrge 'parties ; but
tho majority were in favor of single sleighs. 1
(trace received two 'invitation*, one from
Jonathan Jenks, who, potwitlietanding her re
fusal of bis hand, was still quite a? much as
over in love with her pretty face?the other
from Jabez Grant, which she accepted, but not
until the very morning of the party. 81i? pre
tended to bo very iudifforent "whether *he went
or not, and said to Jane, Just beforo Mr. Grant
camo for hia final answer :
"I almost wish I was as old as you, Jane.
Then I shouldn't be troubled to know who to
go with. But if I go with Jal>cz, I want you to
go too ; as for riding ten?twenty miles in oom
pany with thnt dnnce, I sha'n't do it!" I
And Jane made answer :
"I would gratify you if I could, Gracey,
dear, but Mr Barnard invited mo to ride with
him throe or four days ago."
The oolor rushed np over Grace's face bright
and warm, hut she did not speak. She was
very busy running a lace rufilo iuto the neck
of hor crimson merino gown ; but her littlo
fingers trembled, and Jane, who was much
morn observant than sho aeen?ed, saw two Or
three tears fall upon her hand, which, instead
of exciting her sympathy, only made her quiet
ly smile.
It was a glorious evening of cloar moonlight.
The horses sped across the fro?ty ground, aa if
winged, while shout* of laughter and snatches
of gay songs rang out on the clear air, and
mingled with the mnsioal sleigh bells. In all
the party, there was no one ao bright and fair
as Grace Wynne. Her llpa were wreathed with
smiles, her long <Hrk curl* fell to her waist,
mid kept timo with her feet, an ahe moved
lightly in the dance; her eyes had nover
seemed so bright and clear, her voiee had
never sounded so musical beforo. Mr. Bar
nard was the only person in the hall who ap
peared entirely unmoved by her charming
lieaaty and grace. He devoted himself to Jane,
who did not dance, and who waa looking very
much pleased with hia. effort* j4ea*o her.
Once as Gtaoo wa? near them, #ho Overboard
her own name, and caught these words of Mr.
Barnard :
" Yea, she is fascinating and beautiful, but
she ha* no heart - and a woman without a heart i
is a pitiful object."
How Grace laughed and danced after that)
Her feet seemed winged, and her oye* were so
bright it was almost painful to look at them j
while overy time she drew near the quiet ootiple
who aat at the np)>er and of the hall, ahe would
make alow, mocking bow, bo provoklngtyaaney
and audacious, that even Jane's good temper
came near failing.
Well, the merry-making wa* OTcr. Tho light* .
were extinguished In tne hall, the remnants of |
their fea*t strewed the long tables in the din*
lug-room, and the Cherrytown party were on
on their homeward way. JabeJ! Grant drov#
fast, for Oraee s high spirtta were *11 gone, and
ahe only spoke In monosyllable*. Ho loft hor
at her door, and she wa* qnletly in bod long he
fore Jane reached home. Bn t not asleep! For
onee In her life, Grace waa unhappy ; and al
though ahe was too proud to own to herself
the eause, yet her pillow wa* wot with tenia,
and her pretty face was so fluahed and hot that
her carefnl sister, a* she l?ent over her, bwfore
extinguishing the candle, was really afraid a
*ve? would result from tho evening's pleasure.
"What iro you looking at mo for?" cried
race, petulantly, suddenly opening her eye*.
' I cant bear a light shining in my face."
" Mr. Barnard thought yon were not well to
night, and ho made me promise to see before I
went to sleep," Maid Jane, qnietly.
Grace oovared her face with her hands.
" It's nothing to him whether I am Hick or
well," ?ho muttered ; "he needn't trouble him
self.'*
Nevertheless the young lady bccame Hiiddenly
oomposcd after this, vid in a very short time
wan asleep, witli a smile on her lips and tears
oil her cheeks.
Mr. Barnard went away to spoud 1 hanksgiv
ing day. In vain Aunt l'atty painted glowing
pictures of the dinner Jano was preparing ; in
vain Mrs. Wynne urged his remaining at homo
until afternoon. Mr. linrnard had made up
his mind, and as Aunt Patty said : "You
couldn't turn him, oud 'twaru't no more use to
try than 'twas to throw stones against the
wind."
Tho morning following Thanksgiving day
school commenced again. It was pleasant to
bo at her studios again, Grace thought, as she
ran up stairs to the school-room, with her
satchel on her arm. Hho oponod the door with
glowing cheeks, and her eyes fell first on her
teacher, who stood at his desk, looking so pale
and nonrowful that she thought ho must have
met with some great grief. Ttien sho beard a
smothered whisper :
"There she is?there's Grace Wynne! "She
ought to be ashamed to show her face here J"
The girl passed by them all to her desk, at the
upper end of tho room, and sat down, and Mr,
Barnard spoke :
" It Is not that my o#n misfortune has been
turned into a subject of ridiqule," ho said,
somewhat unsteadily. " I am very well nwaro
that it lias ofte n excited your mirth ; but it is
the thought that there is among your nnml>er
one who^vill so openly insult het teacher, and
who givofl~*V'ideiioo, not only of tlionghtless
ness and levity, but of a heartless disregard of
the feelings of one who most earnestly wishos
her improvement and happiness. I am pained
for hor more than I can express, but she has
my fre<* forgiveness. Young Mies, you may
take your books."
Mr. llnritftrd sat dowu, and Graoa glanced at
the blackboard, upon which aU 09M bad been
fastened. It ?M covered with A roughly
sketched picture Of tho dancing party of Ches
ter Hall, and awtag the most conspicuous fig
ures was a ridiculous earioatnraof Mr. Bernard,
cane In hand, dancing with Tan* Wynne. Tlf>
indignant btooA ruahad to Grace's face, and
tears sprang tabor ayes 1 but she brushed Uiem
almost angrily away, and bant over her book,
tier class was eallod to rooita* but she sat still
in her seat; recess was given, and yet her
drooping lioad was not raised ; the hours wore
on, school was dismiaaod, and one by one the
scholars passed out, until Grace alone was left
?3raco in her seat, and Mr. Barnard, appa
rently unconscious of her presenoe, at his desk,
witlj his head bent upon his hands. For many
minutes the ticking of tha clpek was the Only
sound in the room. At last Grace arose, push
ed l>ack her long curls, and went noiselessly
doyn the aisle. Her pride was all gone ; that
was evident from her tear stained cheeks and
quivering month. . She drew near the plat'
form and stood beside her teacher, who appear
ed quite unconselons of bar presence. Sho
could endure the silenee do longer, and laying
her little white hand upon his, she knelt down
beside hiro, sobbing out tha first words that
sprang to her lips:
"It wasn't 1 who drew that horrid picture.
Dear teacher, I couldn't have been so wloked.
Won't jqn believe me T*
There was no stub thing aa resisting that tear
Jtained, humble face- that clasping hand and
neating figure. Mr. Barnard fofgot his diy
ity as a teacher - he only remembered that In
pita of her chlkllshnaaa and folly he loved
trace Wynne hotter than any one else In tha
Ida world. So ha drew her into his arms and
ejd her there, while she wept an(9 *oht>cd like

stood at the window as they came up the yard,

MISS MILLY DE GBAM ILLE.
The Htmry ?f U? Fkmm* Lady with tbr Iron
J?w m T.U by llrnrlr.
" My name is Milly De Granville ; I'm
twenty-three year* old, and I can hft 460
pounds de*U weight with my teeth,"
?aid the yohng lady with the iron jaw, aa
she came forth smiling, after the per
formance at Barnum's, to meet a reporter
of the New York World.
Fifteen minntea before the latter had
sat in mute astonishment while this
young woman, waved a kitchen chair in
her teeth, <jr by the tip end of its back
hold it at right angles to her oomely
figure, while all the multitude applaud
ed. Now he stood alone in the presence
of a fashionable young lady, with pretty
dimpled cheeks and large gray eyes,
that twinkled good naturedly beneath a
perfect garden of flowers in the ahape of
a spring hat, and which looked honestly
at the reporter as the above startling
announcement was made. The transition
from Greek statuary to Parisian vitality
waa . too. sudden; the reporter stood
speeohleea.
" What! you don't believe mo ? See!"
And the spring bonnet bent down grace
fully, while with an inoiaive click a set
of beautifully white and even teeth came
together on the back of a mahogany
^oliair, which straightway was tossed high
up over the young lady's head, held
there a moment, triumphantly returned
to ita legs, and then complacently sat
down upon by Miss De Granville.
"Well, will you," said the reporter,
ourioaity overcoming finer instincts,
'' allow me to inspect those remarka&le
teeth r 1 ' v
"Of course," aaid Misa De Granvillf,
a beaming amile at the same time sup**
plying the opportunity. "I never"?
with difficulty drtioulating through a
widely-opened mouth?^culled upon a
dentist vijt all my life and never had a
moment's tootliacho."
^iftifcinrately described, and without any
poetioal reference to pearls, Miss De
Granville'a teetli are perfect, which, con
sidering the fact that for the last six
years she has put them to such uncom
mon uses m the lifting of water oaaks
and Shetland ponies, ia somewhat re
markable. ? r f"
. "Yes," mused the young lady, as the
reporter expressed this opinion. " My
teeth are pretty good, but it'a uot in
them that my strength mainly lies; it's
here- (touching the back of her neck),
and here (dropping her hand lower on
toaapinM column) that I gef the muscle.

Miss De Granville paused, blushed, aud
nervously pattod the carpet with a little
foot and swung a fragile parasol in her
jeweled Augers. Sho didn't look like
Samson.
" Do tell me how you ever came to
start in this remarkable line of business,"
said the roporter.
"Oh, res. Well, you see, my mother
had?has still?a wonderful set of teeth.
Why, to thisdny she can bite a hickory
nut same as you would a peanut. My
father never had the toothache, neither,
to tho day he died. Whon I was a little
girl I used to go round the house lifting
tliipgs. That was m Canada; I was bom
in Toronto. After a while we moved to
Pennsylvania. Then ma got married
again, and I preut to Chicago to earn my
own living. I ain't a bit ashamed of it,
sir. I lined to bo a dining-room girl in
Barnum's Hotel in Chicago. Well, you
see, the other girls used to know how
strong I was, aud I used to lift the chairs
in my teetli just to amuse them. One
day tho manager of tho Alhambra oome
to dino at tho hotel, and oaught me lift
ing ono of tho dining-room chairs.
?Why, little girl,' says he, 1 you ought to
go into tho theater.' So I asked him
to tako mo, and he took me, and I went,
and I've hlonned him over since."
"Thon yon*ve bden very suooessful?"
" Suooessful ? Why, I should say so.
You Bee D'Atalie, tho man with the iron
jaw, used to havo it all to himself ; but,
of course, when a woman could do the
same things it was a bigger card, and I
can lift more than D'Atalie could. He
was only a little fellow, yon know. But
D'Atalie is dead now, bo we won't say
anything about him, and, besidos, hia
wife?the woman who used to firo off a
cannon on her shoulders, you know?ia
a friend of mine, though sho will never
come to see ine act. It makoa her think
too niuoh of poor D'Atalie, sho say*.
Yes," continued tho youug lady, show
ing her teeth, half sadly. And them
sho unaffectedly narrated her eventful
life since the time sho lifted tho dining
r<>om chair in Chicago to the present
moment, dwelling upon the astoniah*
mcnt of the South Americans at a re
cent visit she has paid that country.
In concluding tho interview, Misa De.
Granville said that she has always enjoy
ed most excellent health, but has been
lately informed by a doctor that a pflio
occasionally f?lt in her eyes is the rt*
suit of continued pressing upon th#
nerves of her eye teeth, and that ahe
fears she will eventually have to abandon
heavy lifting.

FARM, WARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
How to i*Mrutat s IUr??"? Air.
It iB not difficult to tell a home's ago.
It is important to know a few signs
which serve as a criteria, anil then the
age of a horse at almost any stage of lifo
can readily be told. The colt is born
with fonr grinders, and when the fonr
front teeth have made their appoaranoe,
it is twelve day* old. - When the next
four ooine it is four weoks old. When
the corner teeth appear the animal is
eight months old. When the latter
have attained to tho height of the front
teeth it is one year old. The two-year
old oolt has the kernel (the substance in
the middle of the tooth's crown) grown
out in all the front teeth. In the third
year the middle front teeth are shifting,
oud when three year* old these are sub
stituted by the horse teeth. ^ The next
lour teeth ere shifted in the fourth year,
and the oorner teeth in the fifth. At six
years the kernel is worn out of the lower
middle front teeth, and tho bridle teeth
have now attained to their full growth.
?At seven years a hook has been formod
in the oorner teeth of the upper jaw, tho
kernol of the next at the middle is worn
out, and the bridle teeth begin to wear
off. At eight yoars the kernel is worn
out of the lower front teeth, and begins
to decroase in the middle upper front.
In the ninth year the kernel hSs wholly
disappeared frorp the upper middle front ?
teeth, the hook on the oorner has in
creased in size, and the bridle teeth loso
at tho points. In the tenth year the
kernel is worn out of the teeth next to
the middle front of the uppor jaw, and
in tho eleventh year the kernel has etP
tirely vanished from the oorner teeth of
the same jaw. At twelve years old ?fthe
crowns of all the front teeth in the lower
jaw have become triangular, and the
bridle teeth are much worn down. As
the horse advances in age the gums
shrink away from the teeth, which con
sequently. reeeive a long narrow appear
ance, and the kernels beoomo darkish
points. Gray increases in tho forehead
and over the eyes, and the chin assumes
the form of an angle. M

To induoe a hen to lay, let the nest be
pert6| shaded. When she wants to sit,
if you wish to remove her, do it at night
and make he* surroundings as nearly as
poeeible like those of the nest shelaid
in.. On a fstan where then are sasny
nooks and oomece, end where the farmer
fcgp setae one to attend to his fowls,
\ampm mm* he gifc
places, and the fowls will seleot and lsy,
each in her favorite nest, and when the
time for sitting lias come, each will go
to her aocustomod nost without much
ohanging or confusion ; but where the
accommodations are more limited, more
attention must be given to the nests. If
several varieties are kept and it is in- .
tended to maintain pure breeds, each
variety must be kept strictly separate.
Should any hens have begun to lay be
fore such separation, then tho first ten
eggs laid afterward should not be set;
but when the fowls have been separated
threu weeks without laying, it is safe to
save all subsequent eggs for their purity.
If fowls have liberty, they uoed not now
have warm, soft food. When the snow
has*1disappeared they will find gravel,
seed, a little green food, etc.; but should
they be oonftned, the winter's care must,
of oourse, be oontinued. A lot of oyster
shells thrown down on a road or yard
over which horses travel, is very good
for poultry on a farm. Pure water is
essential, and should there be any stag
nant pools of dirty water about the barn
yard, fill them up immediately. Drink
ing impure water is ? source of disease
that should never be tolerated. Animal
food should be givon uutil earthworms
make their appearance. Feed liberally
with grain, and your liens will gener
ously reward your liberality, ?/turuf
