In the apparatus of two Germans, the growing plant is connected with a disc having in irs centre an indicator which moves visibly and regularly, and this movement, magnified fifty times over a scale, shows the progress in growth. A chain cable just completed at Pontypridd, South AYales, for a Cunard steamship, is the largest ever made. The iron is 3 3-4 inches in diameter at the smallest part of the link, and each link is about 22 1-4 inches in length, weighing, with the steel stud, about ICO pounds. In a test of three links, a strain of 198.S tons elongated each link about one-quarter of an inch. > Red noses are due to enlarged blood vessels, which result from varies causes, such as very slight freezing and are much less often produced by drinking than is generally supposed. In the improved process of Professor Lassar of Berlin, the blood-vessels are reduced by prickings with a little hammer of about forty platinum needles. The instrument is driven by an elec:ro-motor.

In the ability to obtain restful sleep here is much variableness in the same >erson at different times and under lifferent influences. Profound sleep is generally more refreshing than light lumber, but the fact that one can be ousea witnoui aimcuuy uucs tlways signify that his rest is defiient. Quiet slumber is always more estful than sleep that is broken by [reams, even though, the dreams be so ight as not to be impressed upon he memory. The character of sleep is affected by nany influences, both mental and phyiical. The person who, upon retiring or the night, fails to put away the :ares of the daynhat is past or bor ows the thoughts of the morrow, is ;low to reach the depths of sleep and vakes but little refreshed. An over-filled stomach prevents ound sleep, but hunger should be reieved before retiring, and for this purpose there is nothing better than a ;lass of warm milk. The bed should be smootn, dui neitnir too hard nor too soft; the position >f the body preferably lying on the ight side, with the head not too high, md the disposition of the limbs such is to impede circulation of the blood, [t is generally better not to interfere ivith the fantastic attitudes of little children until they have slept a while; Dut the head must never be permitted ;o remain covered. For a wakeful child a warm bath at bedtime is better than drugs, and usually more effective; and it is a safe rule for older persons also to refrain from taking medicines to induce sleep until after they have tested the efficacy of the warm bath.?Youth's Companion. Housework at College. At one of the oldest colleges in the United States, Mount Holyoke, a certain amount of domestic service has been from the beginning exacted of all the students.

When Wellesley College was established some years ago in a suburb of Boston a modification of this system was adopted. Since it lias grown to such vast proportions, however, and has been so heavily endowed, the housework requirement has been relegated to the limbo of things superseded. * It is still possible for girls to do housework in one or two of the college buildings, but it is not a requirement of the curriculum. The student now does it to obtain a definite reduc tion in her expenses, amounting tc from ?20 to ?30 a year.

It is often advantageous to moisten the roughage I given the stock and we have had them 1 eat corn stover which they would not 1 touch dry, by steaming it for a few 1 hours and feeding .it while quite 3 warm.

There ace many choice viands that are practically unknown here, though they might easily ha ormrn Thd hewhs for flavoring. * which gave a relish to the cookery of a past generation, are now rarely found, except in the. garden of some foreigner. Has anything been gained by the manufactured substitute now resorted to? How many people know anything about cardoon, even the name? In Europe it is a common vegetable, especially in France. It belongs to the same class as the globe artichoke, and the leaf stalks of the two are similar. These stalks are blanched by tying up in matting or straw, then earthing up like celery. In four or five weeks it will be ready for use. The seed is sown early in spring on rich, moist ground. Turnip-rooted chervil resembles a short carrot or parsnip. The flesh is mealy and somewhat like the sweet potato in flavor. It is distinct from' the kind grown for its top and used for garnishing. If fresh seed Is sown in the fall or early spring, chervil Is not difficult to grow. It succeeds everywhere. Frosts improve it. When the tops die it is ready for digging. Scoizonera is occasionally found. It is a black-rooted salsify, and is grown in similar manner, but differs in being a perennial. If left alone it will continue to grow and remain fit for use. Skirret produces roots which grow in clusters. The roots are sweet and . dry when well grown, but have a t woody core, which must be removed 1 before cooking. The seeds are sown 1 in autumn or early spring. Roots < may be left out all winter. j There is a long list of other veg-. 1 etables which might well be grown in < American gardens, ine expenmem stations would do well to give more ( attention to making them better < known.?D.

J A noted horseman of the West con- 5 tributes an excellent article to the * Rider and Driver from which we take the following: J The natural instincts of the Ameri- ? can people naturally incline them to J the admiration of a great horse of any 1 class, but they should not be swept ' into the whirlpool of horse breeding 1 on sentiment alone. It takes more ' than the love of the horse to be a sue- 1 cessful breeder. Many will ask what is the shape * and what are the requirements that 1 constitute a carriage horse? He 3 should be harmonious in all propor- ' tions, such as high withers; deep ( brisket; prominent breast; well sprung ribs; good flank; head of medium size, clean and bony; jowl not too 1 prominent; frontal broad; large clear ; eye; ear small at base; of medium 1 length and sharp at point; throttle small; neck long with slight crest; i sloping shoulders; prominent muscles; back short and powerfully muscled < over the loins; curve to the tail; strong hocks; legs, and feet, with flat ( bone and large cords; trotting action ] quick; high and round, free and clean, 1 with not too long a stride. Such a 1 horse, crossed on mares of a few '< handsome branches of the trotting 1 families might and probably would give us what is wanted?the horse of the future. Years ago the Morgans were the 1 horses par excellence. They were ' handsome to look at and tough as wire nails. They had good strong leg3 and : strong hearts and stomachs. In color they were blacks, browns, bays or 1 chestnuts. Their hair showed the luster of health and the gleam of sun' light, and they were spiced with the 1 temper of nerve force, but never stub born. Physically, they were not large horses, but they were all horse. Many RDEN" wore about 900 pounds in weight and under 13 hands, but in harness they looked larger. You breeders that remember the form and type of the Morgan horse should realize that horses of that type, weighing from 900 to 1300 pounds, is what the world is looking for. This high type of the carriage horse has been produced and can be again by Intermingling the best branches of the Wambletonian, Morgan, Bashaw, Sadi Hamet, Robert McGregor, American Slay, German Coach, French Coach, tfackncy, Black Hawk, Indian Chief, Edwin Forrest, Pals Highlander, Blackwood, Stump the Dealer, Mamjrino Patchen, Drummonds Hunt, and ;ne Percheron.

P., Silver Lane, Conn.: I would ike to get Dr. Smead's advice about a torse eight years old that is thin iD lesh, coughs a little occasionally, gets :ired easily for a young horse and nakes water frequently, but has a morfv o nn/otif a onrl nolo onrl hhnl'q ,ita? tj uuu vuvw uuu v*? tieartily. I have been giving him powders for quite a long time for improper digestion, as that is what a ocal veterinary tells me is the matter .vith him. His case is chronic and >f long standing, following distemper, tfe gets six quarts of ground oats, barey and corn daily, a proprietary feed, :imothy hay and oat straw hay. I also !eed him once a day, usually, carrots. Se is now used very little and gets jood care. There are several possible reasons vhy this horse is not in a thriving conlition. First, I notice your ration is rot conducive to life and lasting spirit; not an element in it which is a >rotein food. The oats come the nearest to it, but their ratio is 1 to 6. If roil were feeding him- about twelve piarts of ground oats daily with your Jmothy hay he would do fairly well, I hink, and if you were to add to that a arge handful of linseed oilmeal I am rery certain he would, providirf; he is lot infested with intestinal worms. 3ut it would not be policy to feed that juantity of oats to a half idle horse; lence it would not be good judgment ;hus to feed him. I will call your atention to some points on feeding: The moderately worked horse retires a food of a nutritive ratio of 1 o 7. Now, let us look at the one you ire feeding. Oats have a ratio of 1 ;o a little over b; Dane}-, 1 10 wm, L to 10; timothy hay, 1 to 15; oat straw, 1 to 30. Now, allowing that roar grains were equally mixed, you .vould have a grain ratio of about 1 to >, and the hay and straw about 1 to 12; altogether, the ratio would be rery nearly 1 to 15. Your horse could lot endure much labor on that. He vould lack spirit and muscular vigor, vhile he might look quite well. He simply would tire out quickly; hair vould look rough; skin would be dry,, ind the bowels either very loose from ;he inability to digest so much carjonaceous food, or else be constipated, [n either case his digestion would be leranged, as the veterinary told you. \!1 the digestive stimulants or condi:ion powders kept in a drug store ;ould not change the ration. Now, if you will drop the barley and lorn and substitute some wheat midllings, with a ratio of 1 to 4, and add :he handful of linseed oilmeal so rich ii protein, with a ratio of 1 to 2, and ;hcn use the oat straw for bedding instead of food, you will be getting down somewhere near what this horse's physical needs require. I spoke cf the possibility of worms. \s he has been out of condition for some months, he very likely has some. :t is the calf thin in flesh that has lice^ ivhen the fat one has not; it is the lorse with a poor or weak digestion :hat furnishes the best home for worms. With a good, strong diges:ion the worm has to fight to live; .vith a poor one, he can laugh and grow :at. Hence I will advise that you fast iiim for about sixteen hours; then mix a tablespoonful of creolin with a ;uart of warm water and use as a Irench. Follow in two hours with a six-drach mdose of Barbados alloes, with a spoonful of ginger added. Give this also in water as a drench. If he has worms you will see some of them in his voidings in about twenty-four hours. In that case repeat the dose in a week. As his digestion is weak I will suggest that fer a month you give him a. tablespoonful of the following: Ground flaxseed, one pound, in which mix three ounces of ground charcoal, three ounces of bicarbonate of soda, four ounces of ground gentian root and two ounces of ground aniseseed.
