He soon learned to throw the band up whenever he would like to stop and be petted a. little. I might have pre- vented this at once by making the bridle fit better, but it ocourred to me that, with this beginning, I might soon teach him to stop when anythinp; else got wrong. And this I did, so that the least disarrangement of the harness would cause him to stop and wait to have it fixed. Sometimes, however, he would step, when the trouble was not in my opinion, sufficient to warrant so cautious a procedure. KNEW HIS BUSINESS. Instances of it as it Has come under the Notice or au Observing Country Doctor —Trims or monies. The country doctor is expected to go whenever called—rain or shine, heat or eold, night or day n sometimes, per- haps, leisurely, but often as quickly as possible. Through all this his horse and himself are constant companions, and share together the joys and the sorrows of the road. It is not strange, therefore, that an attachment of more than ordinary intensity often sprinns up between them, during which the man notes the almost human qualities of the horse, "While quite a boy I knew a horse of such humour and intelligence that he gave me a high opinion of horses in general. Somehow the tricks of old, Ball led me to consider horses as al- most of kin to human beings, and I have always talked to them, and treated them accordingly. Bell, a fine ani- mal belonging to my uncle, who lived on a farm adjoining ours, was a sor- rel horse of good size, and especially fine head, with heavy neck and shoul- ders. He had done a great deal of farm work in his time, but was now too old for anything but occasional light service; so be usually had the range of a pasture in front of the house that reached up to the yard fence, There were cattle and sheep in the same pasture, Ball was noted for his cunning and clever tricks, such as opening gates and doors, pulling down bars and the like; but no one suspected him of play- ing practical jokes on sheep, when one after another was found on the wrong side of the fence. It was by his antics and evident delight whenever a sheep was so found that he attracted atten- tion. A watch was instituted, and soon, when Ball thought no one saw him, he slyly picked up a sheep by the wool with his teeth and dropped it over the fence! Then, going away some distance, he anxiously waited, evidently watch- ing for some one to come out of the house. As soon as he saw that the sheep was discovered he gave a snort and began to run and kick up his heels with delight. KLEPTOMANIACAL. Sometimes he would steal articles and hide them, evidently just for the fun of the thing. One day a heavy maul, such as is used for splitting rails and wood, was left so near the fence that he could reach it. When he sup- posed that no one saw him he took the maul up with his teeth, carried it to the further side of the field, carefully hid it behind the stump of a tree, and then watched the result. This time he had been seen carrying the maul away, so the men made great ado, pretending to be hunting for it, looking in the fence corners and behind stumps, while Ball was running, snorting and kicking up his heels with unbounded delight. Whenever they approached the maul he tried to attract their attention to some other point. While I have been engaged in the practice of medicine my horses have had no opportunity to perform tricks like these, but many times I have seen exhibitions of intelligence and, humour no less marked. One cold, boisterous day my horse John was driven up to a post in front of a desolate looking farm house about fourteen miles from home. There was not a tree or object of any kind to break the cold, raw wind, so I covered John with Ins blanket, and on top of this threw a buffalo robe, tuck- ing it well under the harness, lest the wind should blow it off. But in my care with the blanket and the robe, I forgot to fasten John to the post. After I had been inside a few minutes the ldy of the house looking through the window, cried out: " Doctor, there goes your horse!" STARTED FOR HOME. I hastened to the door, only to see John and the buggy making good time homeward, already beyond reach of my voice. Pretty soon, however, John turn- ed from the road, made a large circuit, something more than a hundred yards in diameter, over the smooth prairie, and came back to the post again, where he shook his head often and pranced about to show how intensely he enjoyed the joke. To me he said, as plainly as horse could say: "Now, didn't I fool you nicely? You thought I was going back without you. Why, I was only playing a practical joke to show how careless you were not to tie my halter. Of course I would not have left you out here alone." I have known many horses that showed a great degree of humour as well as intelligence, but for good sense I think Frank- was a little superior to any other. He was 7 years old when I traded for him, and he had a bad repu- tation for running away; but he was a proud horse, held his head well up, and was a high stepper. Moreover, he had an intelligent look, and I liked him. Upon enquiry I found that his first runaway was not much to his discredit. A drunken driver had forced him to cross a rickety culvert and allowed him to run the wheels off the planks at one end and upset the buggy, at which he became frightened and ran away. After this he was easily frightened by any unusual noise and confusion behind him. FRIEND AND PROTECTOR. I at once began the training of my new horse by trying to convince him of two things. First, that I was his friend and would not forsake him on any account; second, that I was fully competent to care for and protect him. How well I succeeded may be guessed when I tell you that I drove him al- most every day for seven .years, and never had a runaway. Sometimes he would be startled, but a gentle word and a firm, steady rein, would always reassure him so that no trouble occur - ed. His experience had taught him to be very careful about culverts. If one of these ,seemed to be the least out of repair he would stop, and no amount of &axing or pushing could induce him to ,pass over until I had got out and carefully examine it. Then after I had told him that all as right, no matter One day, as I was driving along at a slow trot, over a smooth, lonesome road, I had dropped the reins over the buggy apron, and was becoming quite interested in the reading of a news- paper when Frank suddenly stopped. I looked all around and over him, but could see nothingwrong, so I said, with some emphasis, "'Get up, Frank 1" But he still stood and kept throwing his head up and down. As I sat there with the paper in my hand, I looked again, and especially to the bridle, but saw nothing. wrong. I now, without taking up the reins, took the whip from its socket, and giving him a sharp cut, repeated my command to go along. This undeserved punishment, nettled him very much, but still he would not move forward. Afterstanding for a Dried peas and Lima beans are much cheaper than the canned, and can be cooked so as to be almost as good. Both are very palatable when properly cook- ed. When buying, especially peas, choose these' that are greenest looking, as they will be moan tender, Reject, in looking the mover, any that are white, as they were too nearly ripe to be good. They need to be soaked a long time in tepid water. Put them to soak at noon the day before they are want- ed and keep the water warm. The next day put them on to cook in cold water, simmer gently for three hours; season with salt, pepper, butter, cream, and a very little sugar—a scant teaspoon- ful. Lima beans do not need to soak so long. Gingerbread, to be really nice and do credit to its maker, should not be over an inch thick when it is baked, It should have the "crackly," somewhat sticky top and the dark, rich-lonking interior that constitutes the ideal and should be made on New Orleans molas- ses. Always bake gingerbread in broad, shallow tins.. Always put a roast of beef inte a quick, hot over, then cool it to a good roosting heat. This is to sear the pores so the juices of the meat will net ex- ude into the gravy, making the meat dry and tasteless. Glycerine thickened with litharge— few moments, as if in deep thought, he P suddenly turned to the right until the his 'ihenwheel on that side touched. the buggy. 13 thing, and resists the action of beth agate, he stood stone still, only throwing his head as before. I now took up the reins and pulled with the left hand to bring him back into the road, when, to my astonishment, I found that the rein on that side, which had been fastened with a snap, was unsnapped, When I got out to' fasten it Frank squealed. I believe a horse never squeals unless he is excited, I never heard Frank squeal before; but tnow he not only squealed but shook his head, pawed the ground, and mani- fested his delight by every means that he could command. As we afterward, moved along homeward, several times, as the thought would come to his mind afresh, he shook his head and squealed for joy. 'When such evidences of thought and purpose, such humour and intelligence, are seen in horses, the line of demar- cation between animal instinct and human reason becomes almost obliter- ated, Frank had decided that by turn- ing to the right the left rein would have to be pulled to get him back into the road, and that then I should dis- cover the rein to be unfastened. He certainly had reasoned, and reasoned intricately, too. AT THE GERMAN COURT. waltzing Prohibited for Years, Will Be Revived. Waltzes are prohibited at the court of Berlin, as well as at the courts of most of the minor rulers of Germany, and consequently a great sensation has been created among the younger gen- erations of the Teutonic Empire by tha announcement that the ban against the waltz is removed, so far as the court of 'Wurttemberg is concerned, This is due to the influence of the young Queen, 'a woman of rare beauty', who is passionately fond of dancing, and who has been backed up in the matter by young Princess Pauline,. daughter of the King by his first wife, and who, barred from the succession to her father's throne by the Salic law, is destined one of these days to ascend that of Denmark, in consequence of her marriage to the eldest son of ithe Crown Prince of that kingdom. The Queen and the Princess joined, in the waltzes at the last court ball at Stuttgart trith manifest enjoyment0 and hopes are entertained at Berlin that the example thus set will be tole lowed at the court of Emperor William. For the present the polka and a slate sort of gadop are the only round dances tolerated there, the 'waltz having been forbidden ever since one of the young royal Prinsesses was tripped up str by her partner and fell at the very wi feet of the late Empress Augusta while an in, the act of waltzing The Empress, i who was a terrible despot on the score of etiquette, could not bear the ideal ofi a dance which could have the effect of placing a Princess of the blood in such an undignified position, and, turn- ing deaf ear to all arguments to the effectj that the mishap was due rather, to the awkwardness of the dancers than to the dance itself, vetoed the appear- ance of the latter henceforth on all pro- grammes of court balls. tun white lead—to the cansisteecy of utty makes a valuable cement.

Love is the crown of a happy wed- ded life, and it is studded with many jewels, but what queen is there who would think of always wearing her crown? It should always be held, as so precious an object in life that its keeping should ever be in the inmost recess of the heart. It should, never be exhibited in public, it should never be the theme of gossip. Depend upon it, neighbors, friends, and all within your little world will know- in their own way now great is the happiness and. love of your home, but it will ap- pear greater to them the more care- fully it is guarded from the sacrilege of prying eyes, It should only be brought from its abiding place at in- tervals, and these times should come in married life. Just as they did in the days of courtship. There should be an afternoon or evening at least once in moll week in which each is ready. to devote themselves to the renewal of their love pledges, and to freely un- bosom themselves n the appreciation of all those qualities which they first ad- mired in each other before they were made one and indivisible. At all other times, "good feeling, tact, and common sense" should be the ministers of grace in the household to conduct the affairs harmoniously,equably, and. happily. DOMESTIC RECIPES. Lemon Sauce.—One cup sugar and three heaping teaspoonfuls oft corn starch, mix well, add two cups of boil- ing water and cook eight or ten min- utes, stirring frequently. Add the grated rind and juice of one large large lemon, and a tablespoonful of buttes, and serve at once. If the water bolls away and the sauce becomes too thick add a little more hot water. The above recites are from the Am- erican Kitchen Magazine, a fact which is sufficient guarantee of their excellence. Foamy Sauce.—Cream half a cup of butter; add one cup of powdered sug- ar, one teaspoonful of vanilla, and two tablespoonfuls iof any. kind of fruit syrup. Just before serving stir in one quarter of a cup of boiling water; stir well then beat in the white of oaae egg previously beaten to a froth, and con- ftoinamuey. the beating till the sauce is Fruit Syrup Sauce.—Put over the fire one cup of fruit syrup -cherry, peach or awberry—juice from canned fruit 11 answer.

A Ger1111111.'S Trouble After Eating That Cereal—Yarn ECOM nausea A despatch. from Hutchinson, Kan., says: —Physicians of McPherson county report a strange case. Living in the nierth-ea.st part of Reno county is a German farmer, Abram Kroeger. He sold his wheat some time ago to the Buhler mill, and it became necessary to have it delivered, even though the roads were heavy and muddy. In taking it to mill Kroeger was in the habit of eating the wheat, continually pick- ing up a mouthaul. A short time ago be was taken sick and his case baffled the doctors. Kroeger grew worse. The doctors being unable to diagnose the case, and fearing death if no relief was given, an operation was deter- mined upon. On Thursday last it was performed and over a quart of sprout- ed wheat taken from the stomach of the old German. The wheat had not been cracked, and not passing through the stomach it began to grow. Some of the sprouts were two inches long. Kroeger is in e bad shape, and it in doubtful if be will recover from the operation. , HOT LAKES OF NEW ZEALA.NDS The hot lakes district on New Zea- land, covering an area Of 1,000 square miles, is very actively and peculiarly volcanic. The particular attraction of the district lies in the changes that are constantly taking place in it. Almost from day to day extraordinary trans- farmations are worked by heat, fire and steam. The greatest of the volcanic mountains Rua.pentu, rises to a height of 90 feet, and one of the geysers is esturnated to throw water and steam to a height of 180 feet, While the lakes, ponds and pools contain water of every degree of temperature..

As inertia on It Carriage as It Is on a Miry- .. cle. Electric lamps for bicycles have for the most part been dead failures. They were too heavy, or too inefficient, or too troublesome, and the bicyclist, as a rule, felt that he had thrown the pur- chase money away. The latest electric wheel lamp, however, is of an entirely different order, It is a clean, power- ful illuminator, which can not be blown out, jarred out, or extinuished by the ordinary accidents which affect other lights. It consists of two part, the battery, or source of power, which is carried in a compact leather case hung from the top bar of the diamond frame, or from the handle bars of the drop - frame machine. The lamp power is a very small, heavily plated with silver reflector, mounted on a swivel support, and connected, by a slender cord with the battery. 'Within this is the small incandescent lamp which gives the light. The whole outfit is almost as useful in a carriage as it is on a bicy- cle. The most striking thing about it is the power of the light, which the rider can instantly deflect in any de- sired direction. It is more like a miniature search -light than liko an or- dinary light, and it throws a strong beam of light for fifty or seventy-five yards ahead. This increase of the light of a one -candle power lamp to over 100 candle-power simply by a scientifi- cally made reflector will probably sug- gest to some thoughtful people that they may cut down their bills for electric light fully 50 per cent. or more by going the right way about it. The battery will run for eight hours on one charge, and can be recharged at any incandescent lamp socket, or by the special appliances which are pro- vided to save trouble in the process. Many bicycle clubs now keep a charg- ing outfit for the use of their mem- bers. LORD TENNYSON'S MEMORIAL. It is announced in London that in her capacity as Governor of the Isle of Wight Princess Beatrice will next summer publicly unveil the memorial of the late Lord Tennyson, to be erect- ed on the cliffs at Farringford. It gives the inhabitants of the island great delight and satisfaction for the Princess to appear in her official role, and, furthermore, she is, like the Queen a passionate admirer of Tennyson's poe- try, so that her unveiling of thie mem- orial to the late Laureate will be something more than a perfunctory duty. Princess Beatrice herself frequ- ently reads Tennyson aloud to the Queen. DANGER FROM WALL -PAPER. It was formerly supposed that the reason why wall -papers containing arsenic were dangerous to health was because arsenetted hydrogen was form- ed through the action of mold upon the paper, and then given off in the air of the room. Recent experi- ments in Germany, however, seem to ,show that the danger really arises from particles of dust preceding from the paper. It, is said that at present few wall -papers containing arsenic are man- ufactured,, CRESTS AND STATIONERY. The taste for crests is increasing, and not content with blazoning it. on one's stationery, it is now the mode to have It exquisitely hand -painted on paxch- ment, framed and hung in a conspicu- eus place in ball or library. For mourn- ing stationery, dead white linen with a narrow black border is the correct style.. The very, wide blac,k border, which was supposed to gauge the depths of the writer's grief, is quite out of date. liter second mourning, pure white paper, • with a very narrow border of pale gray or violet, is sometimes used, with monogram or address die in color to match.

An Uneducated Negro Who is Astonishing Georgians. Robert Gardhire is a negro, and an uneducated one, but when it comes to figures he can't be stopped by any mathematician in the world. Be is an bumble resident of Augusta, Georgia, and is employed as a laborer at the In- terstate Cotton Oil Company. In mul- tiplication Gardhire is as quick as thought. Before the average person can get the figures down with a pen- cil Gardhire has given the correct answ- er, and yet he cannot say how he does it. He was asked what was the sum total of 99 times 67, and without re- peating the figures to himself Gardhire answered off -hand, ."6,663." "How much," asked someone, "is 501 times S2?" Without stopping a second Gard - hire replied "16,032 And thus for over half an hour numbers were thrown at him and he gave the correct multi- plication like a flash, In the multi- plication of fractions the man is equally proficient, and there seems no limit to his powers, which are almost occult. Gardhire cannot remember when he first became aware of has power, and does not even know be discovered it. He says that, when the figures are giv- en him he sees their answer immedi- ately. Simply by glancing at a long line of figures lie can tell immediately what the additi on is. I WHERE HE GOT THE IDEA. It is stated that the inventor of the whistling buoy, "that godsend to the sailor," got his first, idea of the device from seeing a small boy pushing an ordinary tin horn, mouth downward, into a hogshead of water. The air thus compressed was forced rapidly through the small end with a whistling noise, and that same principle is now embodied in all the apparatus supplied. by the Government, the rising of the tide or action of the waves driving the air into the horn. adaMla coo••••4,1•..0. 0.Relief for • :M • ing eTroubles • • • • • In CONSUMPTION and all LUNG • DISEASES, SPITTING or BLOOD, 0 „„ COEGI1, JOSS OP APPETITE, w DEBILITY, the benefits of thb • article are most manifest. • By the aid of The .0, I L."
