The application of water to a horse's skin increases the heat con- ducting power of his coat and lowers the temperature of the surface by evaporation and also by conduction, in the event of the temperature of» the water being cooler than that of the skin. Even in the tropics, washing a horse always takes the gloss off his coat, no matter how vigorously the subsequent grooming may be per- formed. This fact is certainly a strong argument against the practice in question. _If it is imperative to wash, and there is not sufficient help to have the horse rubbed dry. without' loss of time, we run. . aftor scraping; and going over him with two or three 1 :dry rubbers. take him out and excl-J else him at a brisk pace until he get‘sE dry. We should then walk him about until his circulation regains its‘norv mnl condition before taking him in. If we can not give this exercise, we may, ‘ after scraping and driving him, put on him a good supply of warm cloth- ing, bandage his legs, and leave him thus to dry under his rugs, which he will do in an hour or less. He should after that be exercised and well rub- bed down. so as to prevent his gettin chilled. A good plan for getting horses to dry quickly and safely under clothing is to cover the animal's back and loins with straw before putting on a rug, so as to utilize the low heat conducting power of air and to give as little impediment as possible‘for the escape of moisture. i {piracy was‘especially dangerous. as ‘ t Rayner, had toured through England, : tight-rope with acrabatic displays on . church steeples. 3;; t which she climbed was that of Lichâ€" I field Cathedral, in the ascent of which I 3' 'Many Sleep Standingâ€"Others )at the top she'daringly walked round .the » narrow, unprotected staging. .whence she took some fine views. . The steeple of All Saints', Hereford, which rises to the heightpof 260 feet. |\was two years back the scene of a daring exploit on the part of the par tot the daughter of one of the ,churchwardens. Accompanied by' the professional steeplejack, who was en- gaged upon some repairs, she ascend- 'ed to the summit, the feat being watch- ; ‘ed by an immense crowd of townsfolk 'and_farmers from the neighboring vil' {ilages and'farms. who had come into .the town to attend the Wednesday market: " ‘ _ . , a : Equally daring was a stoke, Newing= ton lady, who, in February, 1870, ,scaled the spire of St. Mary‘s Church, t e summit of which is 246 feet above t e pavement. The last part :of the I ad to be accom lished by means of a coupletof unpro eetcd ladders, lead- ing directly to the weathercock, which jibe lady, to signalize the’a‘chievement of her task, sent spinning round. In 1781, shortly before it was re- built, the spire of St. Mary’s Church. Leicester, was ascended by a steeple jack named Wright, accompanied by his wife, as expert a climber as him- undertook, in the absence of her husâ€" band through illness, to ascend the spire of Trinity Church, Coventry, which stood in need of slight repair. She accomplished her task to the enI tire satisfaction of her employersl Iii more recent years the Wife of a_Brad=v ford steeplejack has not only frequent: ly accompanied her husband on his 'asdents, but at; times ‘has. unaided, completed work which he had in hand. She owed her ability to her father, who, himself a steeplejack. had taught her to climb from early'glrlhood. During the rebuilding of the spire | of Wakefield Cathedral, in the-early years of the eighteenth century, 'a wo- man disguised ln male attire. was among the most zealous of the work- ers, ascending to perilous heights and positions‘with the, utmost intrepidity. Having met with an accident, her sex, until then unsuspected, was disclosad, and she was claimed by her relations; weil-to-do people, whom, in the pure spirit of adventure. she had left in utter ignorance as to her whereabouts. Mme. Saqui, the funambulist, whose performance at Vauxhall drew all the town, made, in 1812, an ascent of the church spire at Harfleur. Her feat would seem to have partaken of the nature of “steeple-flying." for having successfully made her way to the sum- mit. where she beat a drum and blew a trumpet which she had taken up with her, she descended by gliding ; down a rope to the street below. Previous to Mme. Saqui's appear- ance, another woman athlete, named alternating her performances on, the Among other spires she was accompanied by a younger sister. On arriving at the summit the couple played on various instruments, drank a glass Of wine to the health of the spectators below, and fired off a gun. They then made a safe descent amid considerable applause. HOW HORSES SLEEP -â€"â€" w.»â€" Downâ€"H‘ow They Get Up ii PETERBQBD giltused by life being three parts trou- e.
