The first thing to observe in judging of ether," so far as his back is concern - ea, is tho length of it. A. long back is a, weak back the world over, and in every tane By superior excellence of cture in other respeets, the weakaess af the back may be, in some measure, mese up ; but the hiStse cam never be the horse, he woul& have been had his back been a shorter one. We do not avo how short a horse's back is; for it iSe a sure evidence that he tan awry or drag %heavy weight a great distance, and not tire; neither, if he be speedy, well two or three seasons of turf experi- ewe break him down, asis the case with so -many of our speedy, long -backed horses. OK Morrill and Flora Temple are instances in the past, and the famous grandson of Old Morrill, Fearnaught, And Taggart's Abdallah, are good illus.. trations artiong later horses, This con- formation of the back was, in our opin- ion, a grave objeetion against Young Morrill and Itysdyk's Hambletonian. In spite of all their -excellence both of them wo-cdd have been decidedly better horses b.a,d they been coupled shorter and, more strongly on the back. If Young Morrill had had thelack of his sire- one of the most marvellous speci- mens of perfect bone stritoture manms- calar power ever bred—he would never hex& gotten so many swayed-baoked cons se now stand to his charge. The same was the case in even greater measure with Rysdyles Hambletoniaa. We lmow what he aia in the stud. We know that, crossed on infixes of a certain pattern and Mood, espeeially on the daughters of Arcterican Star,. the Son of the great Henry, he gave us trotters of the highest speed, and second. to none- endaraace. But all this was true in spite of his back, not because of it; and where he sired one colt closely and strongly coupled up in the back and loins (as every con should be he sent forth five or ten without this admirable construction, nay, representatives of the other form. One may attend the fairs of the coun- try, and eight out of every ten of the Hambletoman stellions ex -II -twee win present to the eye this unfortunate peouliarity. In reply it will be urged that these long-haoked horses have an enerreous stride." We grant that -they do stride a great distance, but we also notice that their feet stay under the sulky a. long time. The- power to "twitch their feet out from under the wagon," as anaild driver once expressed o it, does not belong to them. One never finds it in connection with a long back. We wish to breed colts with an " enor- mous stride as earnestly as any One; but we wish that these colts blessed withari elan -mops stride" should have the knack also of gathering quickly. But, in respect to the length of the stride, we have this to say—that it is not in any way the result of the length of back, but the position of the pasterns, the slope ef the shoulders, and. the posi- tion of the great bones of the hind lege: There must be length somewhere, of course, or else the herse cannot stride fir; or, if he attempts it, will be for- ever "over -reaching" , or "forging," as the phrase. go -es. bBut where should. the length be located? That is the question to be answered; and we say, the length should be located below, and. not abave. The length should. be put in betweeu the shoulder joint and the hams of the horse. There is where it was put in Flora Temple, and. which gave her so tremendous a stride for, so mall an animal; and there, too, is where you find it in Dexter, Fearnaught, and Taseart's Abdalleh, whose stride on ai sandy track we have measured and foorid to be twenty feet' If that is not an " enormous stride " enough to satisfy' any one, we should be pleased to know what is; and yet Abdallalt, had a short, muscular, Morgan -like back, as his sire, Farmer's Beauty, and his grandsire, Gifford Morgan, had. before him. There never was a falser theory-, or one calculated to beget more mischief araong breeders, than this—that we must breed long -backed colts, in order to get length of stride: We hate alwaee noticed that the horses long in the back, and loosely coupled at the hips, are the horses that always come to the judges' stand padded and swathed with pads," and ancl" protectars euough to stock a small sized horse -clothing es- tablishment. The reason i. because there. is too little strength in the back and loins to deliver their strokes in a straight lino, or to catch " quickly and. handily when they "break.' It is at mob a time—the supreme hour of the animal's Iife, perhaps—when. fame and money hang evenly in the balance. and -ten thousand eyes are watching him, and the horse is going at the top of his speed, that formatioa and perfectia.0 of organic structure tell.—(tolden Rule. The Chinese Washers. The Chinese process of washing and keeling is so destructive :that it has been estimated & shirt washed twelve times by a Chinaman is no longer fit to be .worn, and the. greatest objection, probably, of all, is themode of bleach- ing the linen, which is net -universally known. It is an acid that is. used., and. tide ingredient issaid to possess the quality of absorbing all the noxiouti gases in the atmosphere, so that the effluvia, thus absorbed is carried mite with the linen into the families, and is sufficient itself toeauso sickness,. par- : ticularly if worn by delicate people. Then, again, the aeid, as you may ob- serve, rote the clotheand entirely takes out all color froni • colored garments especially hose- and ladies- dresses,. Goode braided in black upon white are utterly ruined, the black turning red. in a Short time whereas, if properly washed, black braid will never alter its -Mrs. an Eastern, lady, says : "- I. came to San Francisco four manilla ago. I had a special outfit of under- clothing, which I employed. a Chinese laundryman to wasli for ine. To begin with, he hat something every week, which. though he offered to .pay for, did . not hy any means recompense me for the really valuable articles, but the trouble is I am now compelled to get -everything new. My entire outfit is dropping to pieces. The things • come home looking like snow in color, and bea.utifully ironed. By degrees- long rents appear, and if I attempt to mend the articles the fabric crumbles, in my fingers.. They are -positive!: rotten. My whole wardrobe was so expensive that 1 shall never -be able to replace it under more money than I care to spend." Mrs. ;Tames, another lady from New England, showed her husband's shirts, brought here three months ago. Be- tween every fold in the breast was a long slit, running. the entire "length, most artistically hidden fromview by being ironed over. But," said the lady, "when my husband tris to put thern on they fly apart, and. the diffi- culty for him is to know whip1i hole his head is to go through. I b,avo had the starch washed out in hopes tot be able to mend them, but the cloth is like so much tinder, and the whole are just fit for the ragbag." Another lady said: .‘ I thought I would give IT ray Chinete washman and. try an Irish woman, who said she was very poor, and worked !upon my sympathies. Well, for twp weeks Biddy brought home the cl thes all right. You could not tell the31ifferenoe between white washing and Chinese. The third week,. to my great surprise, my old John brought the c othes. I was too surprised to speak f r a mo- ment. How did you get thes clothes, John?" Allee sa,rnee " said John, grnunng. "Biddy too belly siek ; too milehe belly dam clriusk. She no try to wash. Me allee time do you clothes, sabee?" count- ing his -fingers, "1, 2, 3 week. Allee sa,mee Chinaboybelly good. No getee drunk; waeli you clothes ; you give clothes allee sanest& me." , Another lady spoke of the entire destruotion of beautiful: colored. calico - dresses and hose, every prtio1e of color being removed in a f w times washing. - It seems strange that with he know- ledge every lady must have of the man- ner in which clothes are destrpared in a few months, and also of the nikmber of pieces Chinamen change and lose, they will still persist in employing them. Even the washerworiaen, who murmur with so persistent' an outcry, against the Chinaman, do themselves, against every rule of self-protection, &replay them to wash the clothes given to them by persons who pity their case. It does seem inconsistent, so utterly want- ing in common sense, that even in the face et all disadvantagesethey hold on, as it were, to the skirts of Mongolian labor, denouncing it on the one hand and using it on the other. So long as John is employed he stays among us. Let those who would see the "exodus" help it forward with willing Lands and by consistent measures. The Irish Moss Industry, in America. As we were sailing Out at six in the morning to our fishing -ground on the coast of Massachusetts we came into the midst of a fleet of " mossers," or gatherers of thecarrageen—or Irish moss —which is obtained here in large quan- tities, and affords employment and. sup- port to a large number of the inhabit- ants. The water of the bay in -shore is remarkably clear, as I also found it to be very strong in bathing; so that the " mossers" could drive down their long sea rakes straight on the moss bunches clinging to the rocks, and in a in favorable weather each w a fair boat load.

Each man was placed in a recess, ,with a spray of tepid. water overhead, which completely cleansed him. Sohools at which unwashed children attended were centres of children's epidemics. • Coinpany Farming ill England.. • It may be thought singular that farra- Mg should. ever be reduced-. to a joint stook enterprise like a bank or manu- facturing. company. Yet .the progress of events in England alreadyilaints at such an arrangement as ,the ll best for production and. as a good investment for people with money seeking employ- ment. Signs of the change are seen in the stud comp*ies who have advanced horse breeding from a desultorybusiness among scattered farmers to a reaular method, and in Cheese factories which are beginning in, this country as well as England to prove the 'economy of cora, bination. among milk -raisers, and tht? relative wastefulness of small opera- tions. The great need -of English agri- culture is capital. The farm 'tenants do not have it in sufficient amount to 'carry on farms at the beet advantage, paid it is probable that a new era is corning, in whieh capitalists will buy large tracts of land and. invest as they would in a (mitten factory or iron foun- dry. The present tenants and faint hands wouldnaturally be the managers, overseers, and laborers, jut as we have the different grades of labor in a manu- factory, and, careful records of outlay and receipt, the character of soils culti- vated, and the relative profit of differ- ent methods would tend. to prevent much unprofitable plowing which is now done, and give a larger return to the labor put forth than is now experienced on an average. S''Of course such a sys- tem is little likely to come to this come - try. Here each farmer wants his own land. His independence is something he would net yield as long as there is. a great West., But England it is dif- ferent. The load ie dear, the popula- tion is dense, andi the capital seeking investment is ab ndant.

Extensive Wheat Farms. The "Dalrymple Farne,", -Which is making such a stir in the agricultural world, is a tract of land, of 11,000 acres, near Casselton, 20 miles west of Fargo; Daketa territory, on the line of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Itis jointly owned by George W. Cass and P. B. Cheney,. of New York, and Oliver Dal- ryraple, the wheat king .of Itfinneseta. Twelve hundred acres were brOken in 1875, and eown in wheat Iast year. This year there are 4,000 acres in wheat, and a splendid. crop it is. Three thou- sand acres were broken in addition . for seeding next year. 1 Mr. -Dalrymple also owns o half interest in -what is known as the Grandin farm, a -tract of 40,000 acres, just north of Elm river, in Trail county,- Dakota territory, 35 miles north of Faxgo.I The other owners are the Grandin Brothers, bank- ers, Tibieute, Penn.. On the farm there are 3,500 acres in wheat this year, and. 3,000 acres broken for next year. To harvest the crop of 7,500 acres on the two farms, it req[uired 42 self-biading reapers, 225 horseand mules, and 150 men. Nine sta.njt threshing machines, each with a cap city of .1,000 bushels per day, are now t -work threshing the grain. Mr. Da.hyrnpbe also owns 2,- 000 acres of la d. in Cottage Grove, Minn., near St. Paul, -1;500 acres of which are in what, sO that either as sole or part 'own° , he is interested in 9,000 acres -of wheat this year, and next year of 15,000 acres. The two farms noted above will reduce this year a to- tal of 168,750 busl els of wheat. • .Cost of an 4.cre of Wheat.

I , I have observed that a married man falling into misfoatune is more apt to retrieve his situation in the world than single one; partly beetle -Ise he is more stimulated to exertion by the nedessi- ties of the helpless and beloved beings who depend upon him for subsistence; but chiefly because his spirits are sooth- ed and relieved by domestic endear- ments, and his sslf-respect kept alive by finding that, a though all abroad ie darkness and hu illation, yet there is still a little world of love at home, of which he is the 4ionarch.

He'him had never seen one. Yet; strange ,ssay, they have a petty traffic with t .outer world, yet notthr- oughtheinediu of speeeh. They livein the woods, a live by the ehase. They hunt tiger not with the gun, but with arrow which they blow out of a tuliewitheue :force, and which are ele keen of poitr and touched with such deadly poieot :that a wound is almost immediate :fatal. These tiger skins or eleph.ae tusks they bring for barter—not for sal - —for they neversellanything,forreone is about the most ueeless thing the -could have. They cannot eat it, 'drink it, or wear it. But as they hue Wants they exchange; yet thes thei selves are never seen. Theybring tebe they have to the edge of the forest, am leave it there, and th.e Malavs -conn and place what they have to dispose 0 and retire. If the offer is satiefaetass -when they return again they find wl4 -they' brought germ, and take what is Id and. depart. If not, they add a fev -Ixifies more to tempt the sn'es Of them wildi men of the woods, and so at Iasi the exchange is effected, yet all th While the sellers keep themselves invis -ible. - But if these elephants are anbornfort .able neighbors,there are others tbatar more so—the reptiles, -which abounii here a.sinIndia. But familiarity breeds: contempt, or indifference. The peo I are not afraid of them, and har notice them, but speak of 'them in an easy sort of way, as ,if -they were the `most harmless thing in nature—poor innocent ereatures, which might ahnos be pets in the family, and allowed to run in the house st their `will. Soberly, there are certain domestic snakes which_ ari indulged with these liberties. Said Mr. X: " I was once 'visiting in Sum- atra, and spending a night in thehouse of a friend. 1 hea,rd a noise overhead and asked, ' What is that r " "Oh, nothing," they said; Ws only :the serpent." "What I do you keep afamilysnake ?"1 Yes," they said; " it was a large]) black snake which frequentedthehouse„ and as it did no mischief and hunted - the rats they let it roam about where- . ever it liked." Thinking this rather a big story, with ' which our friend might practice on the . credulity of a stranger, I turned to the resident of Palembang, who confirined ' it. He said this doinestication of ser- pents was not UllOOMM011. There was , a kind of boa that was very useful as an . exterminator of rats, and for this par - pose the good Dutch housekeepers 'allowed it to crawl about or to lie coiled up in the pantry.

I_Jight-Heartedness of Japanese Children. _ One of the first lessons ptesented to foreign teacher is the reason of the bere& apparent happiness and light-hearted- ness of Japanese children. One may walk 'for hours through the streets of Tokio, and scarcely ever hear a child's ,cry of distress. Four principal CaUSCS of this superiority ef the children of Japan o:ver those of other nations have beeneuggested by an English lady resident there. They are worthy of the „attention of the teachers at home. I. The style of clothing, loose and yet warm, is far more comfortable than the dress of our children. 2. Japanese children are much more out in the open air and snushine. 3. The absenee of furniture, and, therefore; the absence of repeatedly given instructions " net to touch." The thick, soft matting form- ing at once the carpets and beds of all -Japanese houses, and -the raised lintel on to which the child may elamher as it grows strong constitute the very beau ideal of an infant's play ground, 4. Chihli:en are mu& pettedwithout being .capriciously thwarted.. A child -is not cuffed ono moment and indulged the next. To these four most suggestive reasons the writer would add fif61,1 , Whiell is, that Japanese eharac- ter is;so constituted, as to bring their •elders into strong .sympathy with their little blies. It has been well said that " Japan is a paradise of babies," for you May aee old and young playing together at battle -door and shuttle -cock in the streetS ; while on holidays the =fiend amusement of men, women and chil- dren is flying huge paper kites.

Cases of impaired health- resulting from lead -poisoning are not very unfre- quentein medical. practice. In general it is found very difficult to trace the origin of the lead in such •eases. Water - pipes, ,cosmeties and hairevashes usual- ly bear the brunt of ethe investigations honseholds, .Quite recently an Eng- lish physician suceeeded in tracing 'the poieon. to the- sewing:silk used • by his patient; she was in the habit—as most WOMO3 are—of cutting the thread with her teeth. The silk was of a light col- or; hence the discovery of lead poison hi it was a matter for surprise. Tite use of ,iron salts in black .silks is an eld trick of the dyer, but light shades and 1• white were licit supposed to be weighted with metallic icompounds. A Strange Theft by a Mouse. A.- very amusing incident occurred one night recently at the tesidence, ef II. A. Bennett in New Preston. Mr. C. C. their room at au eariyhour., -Mr. Kenney took the staying there for a short time, and on the. night in -question they retired to &ninny ,and Wife of New York were -of bills in the heel his boot. The precaution to place a large roll outside bill happened to be a ten dollar note, Accordingly; _aftee arranging his ,money carefully in the boot, and think- ing that .no burglar could find it, he re- - tired for the night. What was his as- tonishment in the morning to find the ten dollar hill gone 3 Search was inade through the apartment, but no traee af the missing money could be found. It was certainly very mysterious. Only one of the roll of bills -was gone. _After ;Vending many hours in the search,
