Many-toed Horses.-Professor 0. C.
Marsh has a brief but interesting article
on " Polydactyle Horses, recent and ex
tinct," in the Juno number of The
American Journal of Science and Arts, In
which he cites several curious lustances
of extra digits in tie foot of the modern
horse, anid shows that these revorsions
to an older type are far more numerous
than is commonly supposed. As to the
ancestors of Lhese animals, says the
Professor, there can be no doubt. Amer
ica is the original home of the horse,
and during the wlhote of Tertiary time
this continent was ocoupied withicqulne
mammials of many and( various forms.
Although all thiese became oxtmect be..
- fore thle discovery of tIs country, thecir
abundant remains mark out the geneal
ogy of the horse In all almost unbroken
successi oil of' forms. If we examine the
remains of the oldest revresentatives of
the norse in his country we shall ind
that these ailmals 'vere polydactyle,
and of small size. As the line was eon
timued toward the present era, there
was agradual inclreae in size, and a dim
nution in the number of' toes, until the
present type of 'orso was produced.
The original ancestor of the horse, not
its yet discovered, un iadoubtedly had live
toes oil each foot. The oldest meniber
of the group now known Is the Eoilp
pus, which ihad four well developed toes
and te rudiment of another ioneach
for(-foot, anld Lthree toes behind. This
animal was about as large as a fox, an(]

found (Epthippus), M,hat closely rescm

WATER AND FOOD FOR IOllsiC.
IIorses and cattle normally reqitIre, iII
round numbers, four potimds of water
for each pound of dry substance in the
food, while sheep require about two
pounds, or about half as much. This
estimate, the result of mally careful ex
perlimients, includes the water contain
ed in the food as well as that in the
drink. Tho amount ,of water needed
by pigs has not, I think, been accurate
ly determined. 1 ith horses we find a
different digestive arrangement-one
that changes the conditions which were
suitable for ruminants to a very Inpor
tant extent. Horses have but one
stomach, and that relatively small; It
contains, wien fully distended, but fif
teen to sixteen quarts, and in tis con
dit,ion Is too full for tho performance of
its functions. U1sually when digest
ing the food tihe horse's stoinach does
not contain more thanl tol quarts, and

Now, here Is a polin of great impor

it IS perfectly digested, but ifA we feed

KEEP TrHE BODY EREc'r.-Ailorecet
bodily attitudo Is of vastly more Impor
tance to health than People generally
Imagine. Cro%ked bodily positions,
minItaLine1d for any lenIgth of Lim0, are
always Injurious, whether ill the sit
ting, standing, or lying posture, whieth
er sleeping or waking. To sit with
the body leaning forward on the atom
aeli or to one SWte, with the heels ele
vated on a level wIth tih head, Is not
only in bad taste, but exceedingly det
rimental to lea1l. It cramps t,he
stomach, presses the vital organs, in
terrupts the free Iotiols of the chest,
and onfeebles the functions of the ab
doininal and thoraclo organs, aId, in
fact, unbaltiances tlhe whole muscular
system. Many children becom Slight

began pounding a dog which was
tied to a wagon-wheol. Tho animal's

attention of a man who called out:
"liold on there ! What's that (log

"Snatched a lig piece of' bologny

replied the boy as lie gave the dog
another whack.
"See here",' contined the Iniani as he
caeto nearer, "don't you know that
that dog feels those blows?"

A Toothpiek Agiation.
'The toothpick market is agitated.
Th'iose chiefly In use are of white wood
and pointed at both ends, A patent
for fourteen years was obtained for
them in 1860, and the fa~etory of the
Bos ton owniers at, Bucksfild, Me., used
fronm 3,000 to 5,000 cords of wood year
ly and turned out inealculable quanti
ties. A box of 2,500 sold for twenty
five cents, and the profit wvas large. A
log six feet long and about eighteen in
ches in diameter was placed in a ma
chine where bevel knives cut it in each
direction and turned out the toothpIeks
ready for market. About eighteen
months ago another Boston firm started
a factor.y in the woods of Ohio and used
similar machinery. T1he price then be..
gani tumbling, and fell to 20 cents at re
tail, then to 18, 14, and 12. Of late the
originmal manu facturer's have reduced
the figure to 10 cents, or 8 cents at
wholesale, and report their antagonists
to be on the verge of stoppage,
