The magnificent national capitol at Wadi- ington has cost, since the laying of its cor- ner stone in 1793, very nearly $15,000,000, but the State cap:tal of New York et Al- bany, although not yet completed according ta the architect's designs, has already cost aimost$03,000,000, and is the most expen- sive building of modern times. The largett and most expensive City Hall in the United States is that of Philadelphia, and int principal tower is to contain the largest clock in the world. The greatest price ever paid for a horse, $150,000,wo.s given by Mr, Malcolm Forbes, ef Beaton, for Arlon, which he bought from Senator Sanford of California. Axtell, the trotter, brought $105,000 when three years rild,othile, in 1891, St Blaise was sold for 8109,000. Qne hundred and three thousand dollars haadreen offered for a Hebrew bible now in thegibrary of the VittiCa.11 at Rome. This make it the moat valuable book in the world, se far as dollars and cents go. In 1635, when the entire Dutch nation was crazy nom the subject of tulips, a single bulb was soid far $2,200. At such prices it would pa,y better to raise tulips than to own the mint value's/a gold mine in the world. Speaking of gold mines, where do you suppose the most valuable bit of ore ever smelted in the world, so far as is known,was found ? In California. or Australia or India ? No indeed. It was a lot containing 200 pounds of quartz, holding gold at the rate cf 850,000 per ton, and was found in a mine at Ishpeming, Id The costliest cigars ever exported from Havana were a quantitY made expressly for the Prince of Wales, and valued at 81.87 epieee in the factory. The Isrgeat sum eveihaskei or offered for a single diamond was 8%150,000, which the Prince of Hynderbade in India, agreed to give the jeweller who then owned the finest atone in the world. The Shah of Persia and the Sultan of Turkey each possess a prayer tnat, or rug, made of diamonds and pearls, and valued at something over $2,500,000 apiece. The largest and most experieive rug in the world, made . of the ordinate,- materials ofterhich such things are manufactured, is owned by the Citrlton Club of London.

There is a big distinction between master- ing a horse and ettintag the animal by cruel brutality. Many horses heve more sense than their riders, the equine knows when he is at the metei of some inexperienced rider, and it only renders the animal restive and apprehensive. 4 A horse should never be deceived by 'Ord or action. When a driver or rideit Pulls the reins and says "Whoa !" he shoield mean it and stick to it. But to cry "Whoa !" jerk the reins and lash the horse at the seine time is confusing and means nothingt ' Always make use of a whip whether rid- ing or driving and let it be a good one. When it is mpuised, of course, it is an in- strument of torture, but when properly used it is commendable. A gentleman driving his horse through the streets often has the equine frighteried at some street band, and she jerks the reins tightly past the band. Theo he beginei o whip the horse and say that he will teach the animal how to shy. Well, the hate does not understand the reason for such treatment and naturally sup. poses the'obje h which had frightened him is giving the i punishment. 3:he whip is necessa i at a rule, but should be used _ with dis retitle tempered with mercy. The word ,If Whoa " is often misused or --rather, used Teti, that it does not mean any- thing. New' the word " whoa" ‘ is the greatest cortimand that we have in horse- manship. Neer utter it unless you desire your horse t or horses to b Op. It is quite common to fkly4" whoa" when it is only in- tended to isci glower, or when the horse has not stirred it foot, to let him know of your presence. Pah day when your life may de- pend uponiett" whom" you will find that your horse rs tot stopped by it because you have entirely played it out of him. Never lie to your horse, never deceive him or make flee motioue, tor if you do you will never thatte a success as a trainer of the horse.

Be modirate, be temperate. No man can becomeathorseman without first =having complete hantrol of himself. Be firm, be perseverink, be honest Speak always in a natural than of voice under all circum- stances. Always let your horse face the object of his fear; and when frightened remember; the slower you move your horse the more tidWer you have over him. There are timee hriden letting a horse trot is almost as bad as letting him run away.

Professor M. V. Singerland, one of the entomologihts of Cornell University exper- imentel station, has Oublished an excellent summary of the writings of Dr. Riley and Professor Reward, of Washington, and of Professor 3. B. Smith, of New Jersey, on the subject of the Horn fly, which gives a full description of the new peat and its habit, as well as the most useful known remedies, both preveetive and destructive. Reports from New York state mention the existence of these insects in millions, and in some instances the farmers have suffered serious loss from their annoying attacks ripen the cows in the fields. The insect ap- pears to be a native of Southern Europe, where it has not, however, been reported as a. serious pest. It wail probably brought to this country with imported European cattle about 1886. The fly, Which has been known in Europe since 1830i is of a dark greyish black color, and belongs to the same order of insects as our common house fly, which it resembles in general appearance, thoogh only one half the size.

A teuching incident which happened_ not long ago in a Maine village, illustrates once more the fidelity of a good dog. A working- man had a handsome Newfoundland which he had reared from a puppy, and to which he wa.s much attached. ' The dog returned his owner's affection, and wan extremely fond of following him to his day's work. fire master did net encour- age this, but sometimes the Newfoundland would creep along stealthily in the rear un- til was tco far from home to be tent back, and then would come to the front with every sign of delight in hie own cleverness. One morning he had followed in tideway to a house where his master was at work upon a roof. To keep the dog from straying away the man put down 'his coat and his dinner pail, and said: "There, old fellow, you followed me with- out have, and now you may stay and watch my things," . The dog lay down as hm was directed, and the master went to his work. In the course of the forenoon the man fell from a scaffold and was killed. His body was car- ried to his home, where his wife was lying ill, but no one could induce the dog to leave his post beside the coat and dinner pail. For two days he remained, refusing to eat, and showing his teeth whenever any attempt was made to remove the things orwhich he had been left in charge. At the end of that time the wife of the dead man, herself too ill to leave her bed, suggested that the dog would, perhaps, obey her little son, a boy of two years and a half, just old enough to talk plitin. The -boy was taken to the place, and, moved by the loss of hie father and the ex- citement of the moment, ran to the dog, put his arms about his shaggy neck and buret into tears. The dog seemed to underttend that this was no ordinary fit of weeping. He licked the child's bands soothingly, and when the boy took up his father's coat and pail, the faithful creature followed submissively at his heels, is if he recognized the little one now as his master.—Ex. Mistaken Identity. A good story is told at the expense of a recently appointed supervisor of the public schools in one of our large cities. She was an estimable lady who had a ttrong belief hi moral suasion, and, naturally, a distrust of corporal punishment. One day she hap- pened to be visiting a school where a young incorrigible was undergoing punishment for a series of misdemeanort. Even the pres- ence of the school official did not check his bad behavior, and the discouraged te cher cited him as "the worst boy in the schi ol— one that I can't do anything - with. J l've tried everything in the Way of punishm nt." "Have you tried kindness ?" was the gentle inquiry of the other lady. "1 did for a long while at first, but I've got beyond that now," the teacher wearily replied. "Now, my dear little fellow," the new supervisor said, as she seated herself beside him on the settee, where he awaited a well - merited chastisement, "I want you to come and see me at any house on Tuesday after. noon. I like to have little boys come to eee me, and we'll have a real cozy time. Now, won't you come ?" The astonished urchin could only stam- mer out, "1-1 guess so. I'll git there if I cin," and the good lady went to her new duties, well pleased with the emcees of her friendly subterfuge. On -Tuesday afternoon, exactly at the time appointed, an awkward and not over - clean boy was ushered into her pleasant re- ception room. Never was greater courtety shown a guest. The hostiles displayed to his admiring gaze her ohoiceet engravings and brightest books. She played for him the simple and popular melodies which his perverted taste demanded, and then invited him to tea. On her moat delicate china she set before him viands which would have done credit to a New England Thanks= giving. - The boy ate with a half-starved relish, and as he showei every sign of enjoyment and glee, she deemed it time to begin the moral teaching to which all this had been the mere preface. "I was very sorry indeed," she began gravely, and in her sweetest tone, "to see you sitting there in school, the Other after- noon, waiting to be punished, and I thought—" "Oh ! please 'an," her little guest inter- rupted, with his mouth frdl of -cake, "it wasn't me you saw that afternoon'at all.
