He will not drink of water objectionable to bis ; questionirg sniffs, or from a bucket which some odor makes offensive, how ever thirsty. His intelligent nostril will widen, quiver and query over tbe daintiest bit offered by tbe fairest of bands, with coaxings that would make a mortal shut bis eves and swallow a nauseous mouthful at a gulp. A mare ij never satisfied b either sight or whinny tbat her colt is really her own until she has a certified nasal certificate to the fact. A blind horse no living, will not allow the srprosch of any stranger withont 'showing signs of anger not safely to be disregarded. The distinc tion is evidently made by his sense of smell, and at a considerable distance. Jilind horses, as a rule. wi.'I gallop wildly about a pasture without striking the surrounding. The sense of smell Informs theai of its proximity. Others will, when loosened from the stable go directly to tho gate or bars opened to their accustomed feeding grounds, and when desiring to return, after bonn of carelesr wandering, will distinguish the one outlet and patiently await its open ing. The odor of that particular part of the fence is their pilot to it. The horse in browsing, or while r at ti ering herbage with his lips is guided in its choice of proper food by its nostrils. Blind horses do not make mistakes in their diet. In the temple of Olympus a bronze horse was exhibited, at the sight of which six real horses experi enced the most violent emotions. Aelf an judiciously observed that the most perfect art could not Imitate nature sufficiently well to produce so strong i n Illusion. Like Pliny and Pausanlus, be consequently affirms that in "casting the statue a magician had thrown Hip pomanes upon it," which by the odor of tbe plant deceived the horses, and therein we have the secret of the mira cle. The scent alone of a buffalo robe will cause manny horses to evince lively terror, and tbe Moating scent of a rail road train will frighten some long after the locomotive is out of sight and hear ing. A Mincing Story. Many readers are familllar with "Wall's extraordinary feat. In 1849, in driving, according to his statement, a swarm of tees across the p'ain. A day or two since, as one of our businetsoaen was coming down town, he happened to discover a hugh bee quietly resting on Wall's shoulder, as preparations Were being made to sprinkle tbe Court House lawn. "Say, Wall, what are you doing with that bee on your shoulder ?" Wall was startled for a moment, but recovering his usual composure, spoke with gravity, carrying conviction of un- tarnishable truth. "I'll tell you, and It's the solemn truth, if ever I spoke it in my life. That bee is the queen of the swarm that I drove across the plains. She has been hunting me for years, and knew me the moment I called her name. You see, she is getting a little gray. tmt I knew her on sight. She piloted the swarm, and I used to feed her from my own molasses can. That bee is the last of her race, and I shall take care of her In her old age. I tell you John. that bee brings up many reminiscences of that memorable trip. Several times that swarm s'.ood by me in an hour of peril. They could scent an Indian sev eral miles away, and they got to really enjoy an Indian attack. The faci is, they understood tactics as well as the best trained soldiers. When the queen aonnded an an alarm every bee was un der arm ready for fight. First a ekr- mish line was thrown out, and yon could see more or less uneasiness among tbe redskins as one and another would claw at his ears, eyes or nose, but when the order to 'charge' was sounded, and the bee battalions began to move in 'double quick,' a "route and Btampede always followed. It is a fact, John, if ever I told the truth in my life. What I am sayl ig is true. . Those bees fought all my battles across the plains, and this Is my old queen' sure enough. A Dog's Devotion. A touching example of a dog's devo tion to Its master was seen la Salem, Mass., one day last wt-tk. John Gjnan, a bacbeloi, committed suicide by hang ing. Tbe police wert notiQcd and came to remove tbe body. An im mense Newfoundland do, tbe only companion of (be suicide, waaon guard. lying beneath tbe bedy and trying to revive bis master by licking bis shoes. While tbe policemen were cutting tbe dead man down tbe dog stood by with bis eyes riveted on bis master's face. but tbe moment they tried to remove the body be became ferocious. He bit tbe men until they were glad to best a retreat. Then be caressed tbe dead man's face, whinirg pileously the while. Tbe police tried to coax him away, but be showed bia teetb every time they approached and his savage growl warned tbera to keep their dis tance. Tbe blockade continued for over an bour. Then one policeman fired two shots at tbe faithful brute. The dog plunged down the stairs to the door and again blockaded tbe way. snapping at all who approached. He became so rapid that it became abso lutely necessary to kill him. Fourteen bullets were fired at a close range be fore be fell dead. Then tbe dead body cf the master was carried over the in animate form of the pet dog. Go over tbe orchard at least once a month and search for tbe borers, or they will bore in too far to be reached. Remove the earth from each tree, acd examine the trunk carefully. Tbe borer may be known by tbe exudations of the tree where it eaters, and also by the chips it throws out. TnE average age of a hog Is only fif. teen years. This always consoles us when we see a man spreading himseif out over four seats in a railway car. Kissixa is somewhat like aeqen-nrj If he begs and she thinks she can ma'r point in the game she will give him one.

Never before at this pe riod of the season wa3 there a more far orable prospect of bountiful returns in every department of husbandry. We bear from all sections tbat tbe wheat crop has been remarkably good. The barns are fairly bursting with tbe abun dance of tbe yield. And what Is unusu al lit good wheat year.the corn prom ises a good crop. Grass bas also done Its full duty, and tbe other products of the laughiug fields vie with each other ic making this year one of unprecedented abundance to the farmers. Ia the midst of this prospective plenty there Is a skeleto'n in the barn. Tbe advantage of such prolific crops is diminished by tbe effect of vicious tax laws that discriminate against the far- mar. His profits are curtailed by trade regulations that compel him to sell bis products in tbe cheapest markets of tbe world while be must buy bis necessar ies in a market In which tbe prices are kept op to tbe highest figure by a war tariff. What be shall get for bis wheat and other cereals is fixed by tbe pre vailing price in Liverpool. Tbe borne market, to much vaunted by the tnp poiters of restrictive tariff regulations, is of do conaeqnence whatever in deter- mining tbe prices he receives for those commodities, lie must take bia chance in competition with the farmers of all the world In tbe Erg isb free-trade market. But the price of what he Ouys. whether it be lumber for bis bouse and fen chs, clothing for himself and family, tinware for bis kitchen, plows and narrows for bia fields, salt for bia pork and butter, and almost every oth er necessary article nsed in bis house hold, is fixed by tariff laws made in tbe interest 3f tbe trusts, syndicates and other monopolistic combiniations tbat subject him to a regular system of rol -beiy. Tbe farmer this year will be favored with unsual returns for the labor be bas expanded upon bis well-tilled fields, 5et tbe skeleton will mar bis content ment. But be can remove it by assist ing with hi" vote in reforming tbe uos just laws that have discriminated against him. Dressing Fonltry. To dress a fowl with tbe least troub'e. bang it up by the feet so tbat it will drop a convenient height and attach a wire hook to the under beak of the fowl, to which bacg half abrick. Sever tbe jugular vein with a sharp knife. and proceed to pick, holding the wings with one band while yon pick with the other. Work quickly. Get most of tbe feathers off tbe breast side with three or four band palls, and change the wings to the other band held across tin breast of tbe fowl, and with a few pulls get most of tbe feathers off the back. Grasp one wing at a time, and pull out the long feathers at one stroke. Then finish np tbe picking entirely before the fowl is taken down. When doue, chop oft the bead, take a sharp knife and cut through tbe skin around the vent, being careful not to sever the intestine. Toll gently, and as tbe intestine comes out insert tbe forefinger and bring out tbe intestines rapidly, but do not break them. Get tbem out of tbe gizzard, and break off there by tbe thumb and forefinger. and your fowl is ready tot the market. If yon wish to make ready to cook, the bole most be slightly enlarged and the gizzard . pulled out, cut open the inner lining removed, with all gravel, food, etc. A slit must be made in tbe breast and the crop removed, which should be empty when the fowl is killed. Some people remove the lungs. It is not necessary. The heart should be remov ed and washed, as some clottled blood is usually around it. Tbe operation of preparing a fowl for market can be done by an expert sometimes in three min utes. Airing Beds. It is a false idea of neatness which demands that beds should be made tip soon in the morning after being vaca ted. lt it be remembered that three- fifths of tbe solids and liquids taken Into tbe stomach should pass off through the pores or tbe skin tome seven mil lions in number and tbat this escape of poisonous superfluous matter is very rapid at night while one is warm in bed. Nature never provides anything in vain, aud the great number of pores in tbe Bkln are provided because tbey have a great amount of work to perform ; for it is estimated that at least one half ot the waste and putrid matter, amounting to some twenty or thirty ounces in twenty-four hours, passes tbe skin ; and as we have said, much of it during the night. Therefore, tbe body clothing and the bed clothing should be eft off in tbe morning, and the bed clothing either changed, or well aired by turning tbe cover back for some time before Laving tbe bed "made up.'' Tbe secret of health consists much more In attention to such apparently little things than in swallowing drugs on all occasions. English Receipt Tor Keeping Milk. An English journal is authority for the following : In Lot weather, when it la difficult to preserve milk from be coming sour and spoiling tbe cream, it may be kept perfectly sweet by scald ing the new milk very gently, without boiling. Cream already skimmed may be kept twenty-four hours if scalded without sugar, and, by adding to it as much powdered lump sugar as wil make it pretty sweet, will be good for two days, if kept in a cool place. Syr up of cream may be preserved as above in tbe proportion of one and a quarter pounds of sugar to a pint of perfectly fresh cream ; keep it in a cool place for two or three hours, then put it into one ounce or two ounce bottles, and cork it close. It will keep for several weeks, and will be found very useful in travel ing, etc. A jian who possesses every other title to our respect except tbat of courtesy la in danger of forfeiting tbem aK. A lade manner renders its owner always liable to affron. He is never without dignity who avcidi wounding the dignity of others. THE ONLY Brilliant. Durable xyy Economical Are Diamond Dyes.

Friendship which flows from the heart cannot be broken by adversity, as the water that flows from the pr:ng does not congaal in winter. A. man should never Le ashamed (o own he has been wrong, which is but saying In other words that he Is wiser loday than h was yerterday. The earth is fringed and carpeted, not with forests, but with grasses. Only see that you have enough of little virtues and common fidelities, and you lieed not mourn because you are neither a renowned hero or saint. Every reader bas bis favorite passages texts to which he will turn in danger or sorrow with special expectation, and promises which will seem to have been expresslv written for his personal use. Our great thoughts, our great affec tions, tbe truths of oar life, never leave us. Surely they cannot seperate from onr consciousness, shall follow It whithersoever tbat shall go, and are of their nature Immortal and divine. It ia the quiet worker tbat succeeds. No one can do bia beat, or even do well. In tbe midst of badinage, ot worry or nagging. Therefore If yoa work, wark aa cheerily as yoa can. If yoa do cot work, do not pat even a straw in the way of others. There are rocks and pebbles and boles and plenty jf obstruc. tions. It is tbe pleasant word, tbe hearty word, that helps, and a man who bas these at Lis command Is acre to be a helper to others in tbe highway of life. Young men, let the nobleness of your mind Impel you to its Improvement. Yoa are to stronir to be defeated, save by yourselves. Refuse to live merely to eat and sleep. Brutes can do these, but you are men. Resolve to rise ; you have but to resolve; nothing can hinder your success if you determine to succeed. Do not waste your time by wishing and dreaming ; bat go earnest ly to work. Let not a cavern heart or a love of ease rob yoa of the Inestimable DeneGtof self-culture, and you shall reap a harvest more valuable than gold or jewels. Qnlckan1 and Tigers. Tbe ship baa anchored inside of the Iloogbly river, one of the many estua ries of tbe Ganges. Tbe moon has just come up from over a low island to tbe east. Tbe air ii balmy and has the sweet odor cf the land. .Light clouds move lazily across the ruddy face of the queen of night. A well-born daug ter of that far-off island which rules nearly a third of the world by her brain and through ber well-filld coffers, is playing with gentle touch the sweet variations of the "Mocking Bird." Re fined gentlemen and gentlewoman loll or walk softly about the deck, listening to tbe music. It is hard to realize that a few miles np the broad river is a beach outwardly as mild as a meadow lakelet, but whose bottom Is a ehifting quicksand, to touch which is almost certain destruction to the bravest steamer. Within a few months two fine ships of this company have been sucked In by the sands. One is almost erect. I am told its masts extend a few feet out of tbe water. The sands suck in ships as leeches take In blood, and are ever ready for more. Vessels are piled one upon the other. swallowed never to be digested. Care ful pilotage and daylight are necessary to avoid tne hunger mocster. It is bard to realize tbat on von low Island, just under the low lying moon. tigers are more abundant than in anv other part of the world. Tbe keepers of the signal station live within high crick wells, and dare not go a hundred yards beyond tbem. Refnee houses are built along tbe coast on high piles close to tbe water. Canned food, 400 gallons of water, a chart with full di rections bow to find a port, and a boat are at each. And great placards are stock np warning tbe shipwrecked man to beware of the tigers, and to attempt to get , off except by day. and at no time to venture Into the jungle. The islands and surrounding mainland are swampy, and the low i uncles ar said absolutely to swarm with Hirers and crocodiles. Nothing less than a tidal wave seems able tn drive tbem away. To Wash Blankets. Fat a pint of household ammonia ia the bottom of your tub. having had tbe blankets well beaten to remove all clinging dast before yoa get the tubs oat. Then lay the blanket lightly on over tbe ammonia, and pour upon it a sufficient quantity of warm water to cover the blanket entirely. Then with a stick or tbe hand, flop the blanket about in the solution, pressing all the water that will come out of it against tbe side of the tab, without wringing as you remove it to the rinse water. Yoa will be amazed to see the dissolved dirt coming out through tbe fibres, as no washing or robbing with soap suds will bring It out. Rinse in the same way, in the same moderately warm wa ter (not boiling water), and by aimply pushing tbe blankets about in the tab. Press through the wringer and hang out to dry in a windy place not in the sun. As tbe blankets hangs there dry ing, a little water will collect in the four corners, which it is rather an amusement to squeeze oat to help tbe drying process. It you do not care to put another blanket in the first ammon inated water, which must be done promptly, as tbe ammonia evapoiates quickly, divide the quantity, taking half a pint for each one of the two tubs, and wash two blankets at once. Tbe evaporating ammonia, released by tbe warmth of tbe water, can only escape through the blanket which ia laid over it in the tub before tbe water is applied, lie ace you get the value or every drop ot it. in ordinary cleaning with am monia, for paintbrasses, silver, etc., mix it with cold water first, and then add a little warm water, to the paiL Thk man who respects himself and is conscious that his ardent home will never satisfied does not proclaim his grief to the world, nor, in all probabili ty, does he tell it to his nearest frieud.
