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- ing them with vowels. I remember at school forming the initials of certain his- torical persona and event. into words, and have never forgotten history thus learned. Fur example, four of Marl- borough's battles, in the order in which d B A teacher in a school district in Mer- athon, Mich., requested excuses to be sent hint by parents or guardians when pupils were wanted at home or detaiaed from school for any cause. In compli- ance thetewith, a person whose name we omit sent in the following, which is copied from the original : "I the step daddy of—do hereby order you, les teacher, if he has no les- sons to learn after the afternoon recess, to send him home at that time, eoul, body, and breeches, and all the appurte- nances thereunto belonging or otherwise appertaining.
