Profit of Shelter for Animals.

A consideration for the physical coni- fort of animals should be a suiiicient iii- ducemcnt for us to provide for them a good protection against the inclcmcncies ofthc weather; but as this argument alone will have no effect with some men, we will endeavor to demonstrate that money may be saved to a great extent by keep. ing them in warm stables.

The best physiologists tell its that the stomach of a man or animal is a sort of furnace or stove, the food eaten is fuel. and its digestion, decomposition, and as- similation a species of combustion. It has also been demonstrated by carefully conducted experiments, that the amount of heat generated in the combustion of wood or coal is exactly in proportion to the quantity offuci consumed.

“'a know that ifa pig is shut up for fattening in September. and fed five pounds of corn meal chI cooked, it will gain in weight one pound per day for the five pounds meal ; but ii'kcpt until De- cember in a cold pen. although it will eat as much, it will not iiicreuselialfas much in weight—thc balance being required to keep up the temperature ofthc pig. Let a man of sedentary habits ride two or three hours in a cool, dry atmosphere and bracing wind; he returns invigorated, with a sharpened appetite, and will out twice as much dinner as usual. llis ex- ercise and exposure to a cooling atmos- phere have burnt out and exhausted his breakfast, and that ever—present monitor, the stomach, with uncrringinstinct, calls for more food, or fuel, as the proper re- medy to supply the wants ofthc system, and keep up the heat.

To maintain the body in a state of health, it must. be kept at a temperature of 100 degrees, which is done by an am- ple supply of food and good digestion. If the latter be good and the former in ex- cess, the animal will fatten, while iffood is deficient the fat already stored up in the animal tissues will be transmitted to the stomach first, and then consumed for the existing necessities of keeping up the temperature; thus the animal grows poor in flesh. .

Adeprcssion of only a few degrees for a short time is speedily followed by death. Thus, in the victim of some forms of cholera, when attacked by the poisonous miasmu, nutrition ceases, tho copious evacuations rapidly depress the temper- ature, and although it may be in mid- summer, the patient actually dics from cold. Hence the value of a prompt ad- ministration of stimulants and tonics, and the success ofan empiric who in a wool- len manufactory cured his patients by sur- rounding them with hot fleeces of wool .nnd giving them nourishment and slim- -ulants in hot drinks.

A horse weighing 1000 pounds pcr. forming nolabor, or a cow ofcqual weight giving no milk, in a mean temperature of 50 degrees, will maintain a normal tem- perature of 100 degrees, by being fed 25 pounds good hay every 2'! hours, and Will neither fatten nor become thin. This is about one pound per hour required to ;raise 1000 pounds of animal heat 50 de- -grces.-—-Now, supposing tho out-door temperature to be as low as 20 degrees, and we have to raise the same weight of animal 80 degrees, instead of 50degrees, which in the same proportion as in a wood fire (and there is no doubt of the analogy of the cases) would require 40 paunds of hay every day to keep the animal from growing poor.

But there is another reason why ani- mals should be alicltered— that of evap- .oration from the surface. Moistcn the bulb of a thermometer and expose it to the wind, and it will fall from 8 to 10 de- grecs. Moisten your finger and expose :it in the same way, and you will instantly feel a sensation ofcold, due to evaporation from the surface. The skin of cveryani- ms] in good health is always moist, and zthe evaporation consequent upon expos- nrc to bleak winds must of necessity greatly express the animal beat, and re- quire a corresponding increase offood to restore it. Of this much we may be sure, that food is fuel, and the colder the an- imnl is kept, the more food he will re- quirc. It is much to be desired that some one having proper conveniences should try careful experiments, and deter- mine positively the proportion and rela- tions of food to temperature and growth. Every observing man admits the truth of the principle, but can only partially esti- mate its cxtcnt.—11curfli mul llama.

“Liriziiiso lloiisi:s.-—liorses should .no‘. be kept so long without water that they will drink largely when they get it. Nothing is more common than to hitch 1. team to the plough, and make them work half a day without a drop. Ifthc plough ,is started at seven in the morning, water should be given again before ten ; and again in the afternoon by four o'clock. Even if half ltn hour is thus consumed, more stock will be done in a day. The objection that horses on the road should .not“be loaded with water," is not valid. A horse weighing 1200 will not. be much encumbered additionally by 20 pounds of water, while the distention will give him additional strength. livery farmer knows that when he himself undertakes to lifta .large log or heavy stone, he can do more by first inflating himself with nir,and net nnfrcquenily he loses lI button or two from his pantaluon in the operation. Some degree of inlla.uation by water will add to a horse's strength in a similar manner. In drivinga horse on the road at a natural gait of nine or ten miles an hour, l have frequently had occasion to

.observe that. he was laboring with prespi- Iration untili let him drink freely, when be reused to sweat and evidently traveled

How it Feels to be Hanged.”

(ii‘uou 1‘1le Locisvii.i.n ilmiocni'r.)

\\'c are told that hanging, if success- fui—-t|iat is, ifit breaks a person's neck -is the most sudden death he can die. it ruptures the spine in the immediate neighbourhood of the mnlul/a oblong/ale, and thus breaks up communication of the nerve force, or vital power, to the organs that carry on the human machinery. If the man's neck is not broken, the first. aetiod‘ of the cord is to close the trachea, or wind pipe, and thus stop the supply ofair. It also compresses the large veins in the neck which return blood to the heart—the jiigulars—but does not en- tirely compress the large arteries that carry the blood to the brain, for those lie deeper. The immediate physiologi- cal effects is a congestion of the brain— a congestion not dissimilar in its com- mencement from the congestion of drunk» cness, which is generally regarded as agrccblc. and the consequence of this congestion—a consequence that, perhaps, follows in three minutes after the pres- sure of the cord is felt—is the total abolition of conscious sensation. The man may struggle and writhc in a way terrible to see, but these struggles are like those of convulsions generally— painfully only to the beholder. There- fore, if a man is hanged successfully, he feels only the one sickening sensation of the plunge before he gets to the end ofthc rope; three seconds of horror. lfliu is imaged successfully, by strangulation, he feels the same three seconds, and, in ad— dition, between the pressure of the cord and deep congestion of the brain, three minutes of swimming, drowsy, uncertain uneasiness—at the worst, three minutes and three seconds; and this is all the misery we give to murderers. Compare with this the pain that man suffers before he dies from an ordinary illness—the drawnont wretchedness oi‘liis three weeks of fever, the days of agony with rcbcu— matism, and the bentibrwiird, restless night before this relicumatism finally brings his damaged heart to a standstill, the months of slow death entailed by a cancerous stomach ; in fine, compare the

hanging, and then reflect that our lili- munity now obliterates the murdcrcr’s three minutes and three seconds by the use of chloroform. Really it is a fine age, and ifa man is tired of this world, and wants to get out of it on easy terms, the thing for him to do is to cut his neighbour's throat. and be hanged under chloroform.

The question ofthc legality ofthc mar- riage of Priests has been brought up be- fore the Italian Court of Appeal. It transpired during the trial that forty priests in the city of Genoa are married. The Attorney-General argued that the Civil Code recognized all citizens as equal; and now that the grand principle of the scpcration of Church and State was cs- tablislied, the Judges could only regard the priests in his civil relations. Let Roman Catholics, he said, make their services as splendid as they liked, they should have the full protection ofthc law, as should the members of all other re- ligious communions; but let them not attempt to interfere with the State. Mar- riage was honorable and afpurely civil obligation, but if to this persons wish to add the priestly benediction, they were

private conscience, interesting and much to be rccommcndcd.

The Times correspondent says " the scenes I witnessed during the delivery and at the conclusion of this speech ex- cccd my powers of description. Some there were who kept their eyes fixed on the Attorney-General as if they could linve catcn him, while the acclumations \VU‘O so frequent and fervid that it was difficult tofollow the thread of the speech. At the cm! bats were lifted, virus were shouted, and a universal clapping of hands ensued, such as I have seen only in the enthusiastic audience of a theatre.”
