It is claimed that the longest dream
lets 1... tha three n4inntea. A utan
fell asleep( u the cluck Vtolled tho first
stroke of twelve. He awakened ere the
echo of the twelfth stroke had died
away, baying in the interval dreamed
that he committed a crime, was detected
after five years, tried and condemned
The shock of finding the halter around
his neck aroused him to consciousness,
whoa he discovered that all these events
had happened in an infinitesimal frag-
ment of time. Mohammed, wishiag to
illustrate the wonders of sleep, told how
a certain thin, being a sheik, found him-
self, f"r his pride. made a poor fisher-
man ; that he lived axone for sixty years,
bringing ups family and working ! and ;
and upon wakening up ifrom this lung
dream, so short a time had he been
asleep that the narrow -necked bottle till-
ed with water—whish he knew he over-
turned as he fell asleep— had no time in
which tv empty itself.—[Chliatian Lead-
er.
At a Farmers Institute held at Con-
cord, Masa, Mr. Russell, Secretary of
the Massachusetts State Board of Agri-
cultlire, addressed the meeting upon the
care, management and the shoeiug of
horses. Lt reference to the latter, he
said that in South America, Mexico and
Central America, several years ago, he
was surprised to see the amount of hard
work hones will do without any shoes
whatever ; horse shoes there are not
known, neither are lame and spavined
horses - they have no words in their
languages to describe interfering, sriavin,
corn, quarter crack or founder, diseases
that owe their origin to bad shoeing.
The horse shoe is an invention of the
middle er dark nee) ; it wax not kuowai
in the days of Ancient Route, and they
did very heavy work with horses on pav-
ed roads. In southern Europe, they
shoe "tut little t.. -day. The horse shoe
then, is not a necessity, what is iia use?
It is useful simply to prevent soreness of
the toes upon very hard, toegh and
stony reads, and to prevent slippille on
icy roads in winter ; the shoe should be
as light as possible, and serve these pm -
poses : it ehould not have high calks at
the heels.
Some of the eempaniea in Boston, who
own many hundreds , f omnibus and
railroad horses, are coming to realize
these facts, and are using very light
shoes for the forward feet, withoutcalks,
and paring down the toe so as to give
the frog a bearing upon the ground.
The frog is :t natural sushi, n1 intended
by a wise Creator to break the iicus-
sion of the horse's foot upon the road;
to raise it from the ground by un) eilding
iron calks is unnatural and dan_ioroua
in our icy weather, horses need
calks oft their hind feet, but out upon
their front ones, except a small toe calk,
and even this is not very important.

A very interesting account of the won
derful feats of calculation I erformed by
Jacques Inaudi in Belgium was printed
in a letter in the `Jun. Another corres
pondont sends us the following :
The account of the marvelous perforu,-
anus by Jacques Inaudi suggests a few
remarks upou the cultivation of th't
memory— the faculty of all others newt
capable of improvement. The science of
mnemonics is as old as the Egyptians,
but Cicero tells us that it was first reduc-
ed to a system by the poet Simonides .•f
Cos, about 500 B. C. The story is that
he was called from t► banquet just before
the roof fell in and crushed the remain-
ing guests beyond recognition. Simon -
ides identified the bodies by remember-
ing their places at table, and this sug-
gesttd to him the a•socistion of thoughts
and words and things with plaoes,images
and signs.
Petrus Revenues in 1491, John Rom-
borch do Krypse in 1533, Guliemu Grat-
aroli in 1582, Marafortua in 1609, and
John Wallis in 1618, all published plans
more ur lesa cemllicated, and more or
leas useless, for assisting the memory.
The :eletnoria Technics of Richard
Grey, first published in 1730, appears to
be the first, system of much practical
value.
Consonance represent figure+, and are
formed into words by c„uutct-

A teacher in a school district in Mer-

pupils were wanted at home or detaiaed
from school for any cause. In compli-

copied from the original :
