The wide stall is a luxury, aud ought
to be six or even twi fed "wide, if room
ean be spare,!. le*>ae boxes are iui
}vrt int for horses of great value; iu such
stalls they can get perfect repose by
changing their position, recover from
the fatigue of a hard lay's drive, and lie
ready for their task the "next day. The
food best adapted to the horse is oats
and hay of the 1-eet quality, occasional li
mned with a bran mush, with turnips
ir carrots as an alternative. The growth
and development of bone and muscle
depend greatly npon tlie food they cat.
It is inqvirtant to select such as contains
all tht element* uesh\l to form the loue
and muscle of the hone. It is self-evi
dent that the nutritive matter supplied
by tlie food mttat be equal to the exhaus
tion, or natural waste of the body, to
keep up condition.
The horse that is aliont to lie driven
on a journey needs hardeniug by exer
cise—preparing by sweating out the
body to pnnfy and increase the circnla
lion of the blood, and also by hand-rub
bing the legs to make theni firm and
clastic—a preparation in some degree
corresponding with that attained by a
horse that is daily driven on the road for
ordinary work. For one week previous
to the start they nee,! daily exercise,
commencing with eight or ten miles,
and gradually increasing to twenty per
day. This exercise, with appropriate
food, will harden their muscles,
strengthen their limbs and prepare them
to perform their task without giving ont
on the road, materially declining in desh
or serioualy exhausting their physical
powers.
If we perform long drives with horses
aeusteiucJ to short work only, the sud
den transition from indolence to great
exertion will relax their muscles, weaken
their joint*, depress their spirits and
break down their constitution. The
leading cause of so many valuable horso
being spoiled by long drives is from be
ing short of work. They ate not prepared
for such severe exertions. Condition
will prepare them to perform their work
cheerfully, last out with sound limbs,
and pre.-ervc their constitutional vigor
for future usefulness.— Xational Liv

Farm Note.
Eighteen cubic feet of gravel or earth
before diggmg.make twenty-seven cubic
feet when dug.
Salt, soot and lime, mixed with the
mnmire, make a good tertilizer for
celery.
Some milkmen nse strainer pails and
also a cloth stretched over the can, thus
■trailing the milk twice. This doable
straining of milk is to be recommended.
Cleanliness cost* but little trouble, and
will add greatly to the value of yonr
dairy products, whether you sell yonr
milk by the can or manufacture it* into
butter or cheexe.
Do not allow ashes of any kind to be
wasted. It will pay to hanl leached
ashes several mile*, when one has his
own team and a laborer at fair wages.
Coal ashes, when spread around berry
bushes of any sort,or around grape-vines,
will aid materially tn producing large
and fair fruit.
Feed your land before it gets poor.
Give it all the manure you can make
and haul, and it will enrich yon. Starve
it by taking off crops continually and re
turning nothing ami it will bankrupt
you. Feed the land liberally and it will
feed and clothe you.
A New York correspondent of the El
nrra Farmers' Clnb says he raises one
hundred bushels of turnips per acre, in
the hill with corn. He does it by man
uring the corn in the hill. When half
the load of manure is on the wagon he
scatters two tableepoonfnls of turnip
seed over it, and about the same quanti
ty when the load is full.
The best preventive for worms in cel
ery is to mix plenty of salt, soot and
lime with the manure that is to be em
ployed in trenches. This shonld be
added to the manure some weeks before
it is nsed, during which time it should
be turned now and then. The mixture
above named also benefits the growth
of the oelery, which will lift clean and
spgtless compared with that grown in
the ordinary way.

David l.androth k Sons, of Philadel
phia, give detailed accounts of ivmedio*
for some of the in*ot* which prove
troublesome or destructive iu gardens,
and more particularly to cabbages, the j
substance of which we coudeuse: "(1)
The grecnish-black jumping beetle, a
tenth of an inch long, feeding on Isith
cabbages ami turnips while young, is
kent 111 check by dusting with sulphur
and plaster, or by applying slightly a
solution of whale oil soap or tobacco
water. Sowing thickly ami ropeabdlv
may soenre a crop, or by selecting dif
ferent localities. pi) The insect which
causes the club fixit iu cabliage may be
repelled by lime ami wood a>be*. but to
change to "fresh lain! is better. lß)\Yiro !
worms, cut worms ami grub worms may
lie killed by the slow process of digging
around the injured plant for them; but
the heat way is to give cleau land, well
cultivated ami enriched, with frequeu
waterings to stimulate growth, which
will tend to ensure against these under
ground enemies, (i) The green worms
are I wet cleared from cabliage* by hand
picking. (5) Plant hoc are driven off
by whale-oil *>*p, sulphur, plaster, to
baooo water, etc., if applied early, so as
not to injure the taste of the cabbages.
As a rule for guarding against insect*
generally, make the ground rich, keep
it clean and mellow, cultivate often,
and water freely."
Hs K\lrrmlmnr.
For the last five years I have not lost
a encumber or melon vine or cabbage
plant. Get a barrel with a few gallons
of gas tar in it; pour water on the tar;
always have it ready when ueeded, and
wheu tlie bug* appear give them a
liberal drink of the tor water from a
garden sprinkler, or otherwise, and if
the raiti washes it off and they return,
repeat the dose. It will also destroy
the Colorado potato beetle, aud frighteu
the old long potato bug worse than a
threshing with a brush. Five years ago
this summer both kinds ap{eured on ray
late potables, and I watered with tar
water. The next day all Colorado* that
hail not been well protected from the
sprinkling were dead, and the others,
though their name was legion, were all
gone, and I have never seen one on the
farm since. I am aware that many will
look upon this'with indifference because
it is so cheap and simple a remedy.
Such should always suffer both by their
own and neighbor's bugs, as they fre
quently do.— Chicago Tribuiu.
Warm aud Cold Bath*.
An article of a very interesting aud
. instructive uature, on the physiological
action of baths, was publishtd in a late
number of the London Lancet. Summing
np, the writer notes that warm baths
produce an effect upon the 9kin directly
contrary to that which is bronght about
by cold water. The cutaneous vessels
dilate immediately under the influence
of the heat, and although the dilation is
followed bv a contraction, this contrac
tion is seldom excessive, aud the ulti
mate result of a warm bath is to increase
the cutaneous circulation. The pulse
and respiration are both quickened in
the cold bath. The warm bath increases
the temperature of the body, and by
lessening the necessity for the interna!
production of heat, it decreases the call
which is made upon certain of the vital
processes, and enables life to be sus
tained with less expenditure of force.
While a cold bath causes a certain stiff
ness of the muscles if continued too
long, a warm bath relieves stiffness and
fatigue. The final effect of both hot
and cold baths, if this temperature be
moderate, is the same, the difference
being, to nse the words of Brann, that,
"cold refreshes by stimulating the func
tions, heat by physically facilitating
them, and in tins lies the important
difference between the cold water sys
tem and the thermal mode of treatment."
To bet Hid of House-I'ests.
Hot allum water is a recent sugges
tion as an insecticide. It will destroy
mi and black ants, cockroaches, spiders,
chineh bngs, and all the crawling pesta
which infest our houses. Take two
pounds of alum and dissolve it in three
or four quarts of boiling water; let it
stand on the fire till the alum disappears;
then apply it with a hiusb, while nearly
boiling hot, to every joint and crevice in
your closets, bedsteads, pantry shelves,
"and the like. Brnsh the crevices in the
floor of the skirting or mop boards, if
you suspect that they harbor vermin.
If, in whitewashing a ceiling, plenty of
alum is added to the lime, it will also
serve to keep insects at a distance.
Cockroaches will flee the paint which
has been washed in cool alnm water.
Sngar barrels and boxes can be freed
from ants by drawing a chalk mark
just around the edge of the top of them.
The mark must be unbroken, or they
will creep over it; but a contiunons
chalk mark half an inch in width will
set their depredations at naught. Pow
dered alum or borax will keep the chinch
bag at a respectable distance, and
travelers should always carry a pack
age in their hand bags, to scatter over
and under their pillows, in places where
they have reason to suspect the pres
ence of such bed-fellows.
The Last Chinese Porcelain.
Eilward King writes in the Boston
Journa': Three centuries sufficed to com
plete the ruin of Chinese porcelain mak
ing. The workmen were apparently
paralyzed. Their arms lost their cun
ning; secrets of color disappeared. There
in a god of porcelains in China; he mnst
feel sad at times. This god was a poor
workman in dim ages past, but a work
man of signal talent, and every year lie
brought forth some beautiful work which
won him renown. But just as was at
the height of his glory he becaiuo so
enrage. 1 or was so filbxl with despair,
because an experiment which he was
making in the burning of two vases
seemed "certain to fail, that be threw
himself headlong into his own furnace,
and he and his talant were speedily lost
to the world. His friend, however,
brought the story to the ears of the em
peror. That jKitentate expressed his
profound grief, but at the same time,
having an eye to business, told the
friends to rake out the furnace and see
if the unhappy artist's experiment had
really been unsuccessful. L<> and be
hold ! when this was done there appear
ed two vases of such lustrous beauty
that all conclndod that success hail
crowned the workman's efforts, and the
sorrowing emperor canonize.] the dead
man, und built him a noble temple.
Birthdays and Wedding Days.
We suppose any day is lucky on which
a happy marriage is consummated, but
the following ia the old saw on this sub
ject:
Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday the test of all,
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses.
Saturday no luck at all.
The parties to a marriage can select
the day of its celebration, but it ia not so
easy to choose the day of one's birth,
and yet these, too, hail their meaning:
Born of a Monday,
Fair in face;
Born of a Tuesday,
Full of God's graoe;
Born of a Wednesday,
Merry and glad;
Born of a Tnursday,
Sour and sad;
Born of a Friday,
Godly given; .
Born of a Saturday.
Work for your living;
Born of a Sunday,
Never shall want;
So there's the week.
And the end on't.
FOR THE YOINH PEOPLE.
Tss Hswlshed Wsrtw
The Ring -if Macaroons wan dressing
himself, with the help of his chamber
lain, one morning, wlicu to his dismay
he found tluit there was a hole in his
a tucking.
•• lVar me 1" said the king, " look
here ! 1 really mnat get a wife."
"Just what I should have said," re- !
turned tlie chamberlain, "only 1 knew
your majesty was going to make the
same remark."
"Good," said the king: "tint do you
think I could easily find a wife to suit
me ? You know 1 am very difficult to
nlease. My oueen must be clever and
beautiful, and besides which she must
lie able to make gingerbread nuts, for
yon know how foud 1 am of tlieni; ami
there is not a perwou in my kingdom
who knows how to make them jnvja'rly
neither too hard nor ti>o soft.'
The chamberlain was astonished to
hear this, aud felt rather iucliued to
laugh, but he answered very properly,
" A great king like your majesty must
surely lw< able to And a princess wh<>
knows how to make gingerbread-uuta."
That very day tlie king and Ins minis
ter set off to look tor a wife for the king,
paving visits to all the neighbors who
had priuoeasea to dispute of.
They could only hear of three at all
hkelv to suit, and of these three not oue
could make gingerbread-nut*.
The tirst princes* said she could make
delicious almond-cakes, if they would
do.
Hut the king said, "No no—noth
ing but gingerbread uuts will do."
The second princess turned away very
angrily when she was asked the que*-
tion.
Hut the thirvl, quite tlie cleverest and
prettiest of the three, la-fore the king
Lad tune to apeak, put a question of her
owu. "Could the king," she asked,
"play on the harp? If not, she was
sorry, really sorry, as she liked the look
of linn—but she could not la? his wife.
She hail resolved never to marry any
man who could not play the harp.
So the king had to come lioui<- without
a queen; but as the holes in his stock
ing* grew larger, he felt that he reallv
must make another effort to tiud a wife.
"Go to the first princess and ask
her," said he to his clmtulierlaiu. V 1
must give up the gingerbread-nuts, I
suppose, aud be oouteuted with almond
cakes."
The chamberlain went, ami came back
with the uews that tin* princess had just
married somebody else. Then the kiug
sent him to the second princess; but she
had unfortunately just died. And no
there was only the harp princess left.
In despair, he sent to her; and, to his
great joy, she consented to do without
the harp, ami to be his wife.
80 they were married with very great
rejoicings, aud lived in the great*t hap
piness for a whole year. The king had
Forgotten all about the gmgerbread
mits, and the queen alt about the harp.
One morning, however, the king got
out of bed with his left foot tirst, which
made everything go wrong all through
the day; aiid so the king ami queen hail
a quarrel. What it was aland thev
retdly did not kuow; but they were both
snappish and (tow, and determined to
have the last word.
"You'd better hold your tongne, and
not keep on tindiug fault with every
thing and everv body," said the queen
at last. " Why, yon can't even play the
harp."
"At any rate," returned tlie king,
" vou can't make gingerbread-unta."
For the first time the queen had
nothing to say. Aud, indeed, tlie nil
ineut the word harp had passed her hps
she was sorry she had said it, ami she
ran away at once into her own apart
ments, and, throwing herself on the
cushions of her sofa, had a good cry.
The king, on the other hand, paced up
and down the room, rubhiiig his hands
in great glee.
" What a good thing for me my wife
can't muke gingcrbread-unta, otherwise
I should not have had a word to answer
about the harp," he said.
Presently, however, he looked at the
portrait of the queen, which was haug
iug on the wall. "My poor little wife!
I dare say, after all, she is sorrv to have
teased me," he said; " I think I'll go
and sec what she is sbont. Perhaps she
may be crying her pretty eyes oak"
As it happened, the king and queen
each thinking of the other, ran into each
other's arms in the great corridor, on
which their rooms opened; and there
they kissed, and made up tneir quarrel,
and vowed never to have another.
" I tell you what we will do," said the
king; "we will banish two words from
our kingdom, under pain of death, and
those are harp and— "
" Gingerbread-nuta," interrupt*'l the
qneen, laughing low, while she wiped a
tear from her cheek.
A bisantlc Japanese Statue.
The Philadelphia says: If there
were nothing else to msrk the skill, gen
ius and artistic workmanship of the
Japanese, the great bronze statue of I>ia
Bootsz would be sufficient to make their
name imperishable. Dia Bootsz would
be worthy of a place among the wonders
of the world, equally so with the Colos
sus of Rhodes, Cleopatra's N< edles or
the Sphinx o? Egypt. This sacred im
age was not only built of bronze, but the
joints were so exact in their tit that they
were barely perceptible to the closest
observer. Its base rested on a dais of ,
masonry about live feet in height. The
elevation of the body was five jios, or
fifty feet; betweeu the edge of the hair
of the head ami the legs crossed, forty
two feet; from knee to knee, seated
cross-legged, thirty-six feet, and the
circumference of the body was ninety
eight feet. The following were the
minor dimensions: Face, eight ami a
half feet long; circular spot on forehead,
one and a half feet in circumference;
eyes four feet long; eyebrows, four feet
two and a half inches; ear, six feet
seven inches; nose three feet nine
inches vertical and two feet fonr inches
horizontal measurement; month, four :
feet three and a half inches wide; sliAved
portion of head on top, called kikkokre,
two feet four inches in diameter. The
spirally curled locks of hair on the head
were nine and s half inches wide and 830
in number. Each thumb measured
throe feet in circumference. These fig
ures will convey some idea of the dimen
sions, if not the magnificence, of this
almost superhuman exhibition of Japan
ese art. The interior of the statne
formed a beautiful temple, iu which
gill images of Ruddiest saints, with
croziers and glories and other appropri
ate objects of worship or reverence. In
front and at the foot of the statue was
an altar, on which were incense ]H>tsand
urns, to receive the votive nfleriugs of
visitors attracted thither bv sentiments
of religious fervor or curiosity. Near lv
was the residence of the priestly custodl- i
ans of the sacred place. Here also were
pictures of the prophet, and refreshing
potations of tea were purchasable at
low rates. The scenic effect of the im
mediate surroundings of the place were
in keeping with the statue. The back
ground consisted of a mass of gre n and
towering trees, the brood way leading
np was raised at regular intervals by
small steps, and on either side, growing
in all the luxuriance of the country,
were azaleas and flowering plants. The |
magnificent statue itself out of this
scene of beauty rose in all its magnitude
and symmetry of proportions. Before
it at a short distance could be seen the
rolling indigo-blue waves of the ocean.
The ancient magnificence of Kumnkuru
was attested by the numerous ruins
which strew the plains. Here are hun
dreds of temple* ami shrines; the
Hachiman giu (temple of Huchiman)u <
deified hero of thebushi (military) clans;
several tori (stone |ortuls), supposed to
havo been the remains of mime scored
vestibule; the Aka bash (lied Bridge); j
Niwoomon (gate of the two kings); a
belfry (shinroo), in which was a large
bronze bell, made to resonud on relig
ious occasions by striking with a piece
of timber swung on ropes. In this
temple, said to have been the oldest in
the empire, was the famous stone
resorted to by the feminine part of the
mikado's subjects for the property of
curing barrenness. In the rear, reached
by a long flight of steps, was a small
temple, in which the renowned Taiko
samo, the first of the Bhiogoons, wor
shipped the divinities of his country.

that tore up the voting corn and such
thing*, HO that I could be of some use
around the farm, because I wasn't big
enough to tlo much. My guii ae a MU
gle-barrel shot-gun, and the old man
oarri<vl an old Queen Auae musket that
weighed a tou, made a report like a
thunder-clap and kicked like a mule.
The old man wanted mo to shoot the
old musket some time but I waa afraid.
One day, thoagh, 1 got her down and
took her to the land man and asked him
to loud her up, because it wan out in the
Held. Hiram said:
'■ Do yon see those marks ontlie stek
—an X aiiil V, on each side of the ciuecn's
crown? Well, that mean* ten balls and
five slug*—that's her load."
" Itnt how much powder t"
"Oh," he says, " it don't matter; put
in three or four handful*."
So 1 loaded her up that wav, and it
waa an awful charge—l hail seuv enough
to see that and started out. I leveled
her on a g sd many blackbirds, but every
time 1 went to pull the trigger I shut
my eyes and winked. I was afmid of
her kick. Toward sundown I fetched up
to the house, and there was the old mau
waiting ou the porch.
" Heen out huutiug have ye ?"
" Y*s, sir," says I.
" What dnl yon kill ?"
" Didn't kill anything, air; didn't
shoot her off—was afraid she'd kick." 1
know blame well she would.
" tiimme that gnu !" the old man Raid,
as mini as *iu.
And he took aim at a sapling on the
other aide of the road, and I l>egan to
drop back out of danger, and the next
moment I heard the earthquake and saw
the Queen Anne whirling end over end
iu the air, aud the old man apinnttig
around ou one heel, with one leg up and
IMI tli hands on his jaw, and the bark fly
ing from that old sapling like there was
a hail storm. The old mau's shoulder
was set hack three inches, his jaws turn
ed black and blue, and he had to lay up
for a week. Cholera or nothing else can
scare me the way I was scares 1 that time.
Sardine*.
The sardine fisheries have supported
many families for generations. The
chief supply originally came from off
Sardinia, whence they take their name,
bnt for a long time they were mainly
caught on the coaat of Brittany. Knr
ilinea are nan ally abundant in French
waters in this season, and the catch will
be larger than in any previous year, A
sardine fleet consists of vessels from
eight to ten tons each, with a crew of
from six to twelve persons, and goes six
to nine miles from land. The bait con
sisting of eggs snd fish, cat np, is scat
tered on the water. The sardines are
taken with gill nets. A few are salted
on lioard, hut the balk are carried on
shore. Their heads are cut off, and
they are well weshed and sprinkled with
salt. After drying, they are arranged in '
rnmes, in almost perpendicular rows,
&ud immersed again and again in the
best boiling olive oil. When sufficient
ly cured they are packedin the small tin
boxes by w men and childreu, after
which men fill the boxes UP with fresh
oil and solder them tight. The work is
not complete, however, for before tit for
the table the fish require cooking. To
this end they are placed in a covered
kettle and boiled from half an hour tonn
hour, according to their size. After dry
ing, labelling, and placing in wooden
cases they are ready for shipment. The
American sardine, or menhaden, is taken
in large quantities on the coast of New
Jersey and put up in oil.
A (.iit's Foster Children.
Here is a ease for the naturalist. At
the fair grounds there is s feminine cat
which has brought up snd reared two
young skunka. Hhe stickled them with
the same fondness and maternal affection
as if they were her own progeny. The
skunks were deodorized, and, of course,
did not excite the repugnance of their
foster mother on that score. They were
ss playful as kittens, but, as thev grew
up in discretion and sknnkhooii, they
began to develop into creatures bearing
very little resemblance to the cat species;
bnt this did not excite the disgust of
their mother. Hhe had adopted them,
and overlooked the deficiencies of well
bred cats. They curled their bushy
tails on their back aud manifested no
disposition to slyly lay in wait and
spring on their victims. Their instincts
were entirely different. They had a
penchant, for eggs snd other delicate
food, instead of mice and birds. A few
days ago it was decided to separate the 1
eat from the skunks, aud by weaning
the latter teach them to shift, for them
selves. The separation has grieved the
old cat, and twice u ilay, Mr. Kalb
states, she visits her foster-children,
and, watching them through the Imrs of
their cage, manifests a mother's fond- j
uess, evidently desiring to give them
Rustenaueo. The skunks also appear to
take the privation to heart, and want to
be with old stepmother.— St. l,ouis •,

Ancient (loads.
A recent travelver in Palestine was
astonished by the number and preserva
tion of roads built in the Roman era.
They were laid onf on all main routes,
and were constructed so perfectly that
in ntanv sections they endure to-day as
well as if finished not long ng<>. The
country of Palestine was one of the most
difficult sort to carry a system of road
ways over, aud yet its obstacle* were
surmounted with" the least possible ex
jxenditnre of labor. Every ronte was
cnrled on each side by linos of stones
projecting from one to two feet above
the surface of the soil. Between these
boundaries the avenue was paved.
Streams were crossed by bridges, whose
*tvie remains preserved alone in those of
Italy to the present hour—as, for ex
ample. those of Venice. Valleys were
treverse. 1 b) viaducts; and causeways
carried the lino up or down mountain
si les, either by piers of raasouary or in
channels sufficiently wide cut out of liv
iug rock. Often zig rags and steps
were resorted to in climbing steep as
cents. Whenever the streets passed
over solid rock the wear of the chariot
wheels in course of time made ruts,
which remain to-day, as plain and deep
as when the last car passed over.
How a Town was Tuken.
A very good story is told of the island
of Hark, a small island which lies in the
English Channel. It is said to have
been once taken by the French, who,
however, held it only a short tunc. One
morning, a peaceful-looking merchant
ship, ts'iiring s flag of trnec, appeared
off the island, and, sending off a boat
the officer iu command told the French
men that one of the crew, a native of the
island, had died on board, and had e*
pressed s wish to be buried in his native
soil, snd he asked that the deceaseds
companions might ho allowed to carry
out hia desire. The Frenchmen politely
Consented, and accordingly the shqis'
crew soon appeared, bringing with them
the coffin, which they carried into the
little church. They then requested that
they might bo permitted to perform
their own service over the body; and
this also was granted, BH the English
sailors were uuanncd, and had therefore
Revo rise to no apprehensions. No
sootier, however, had the French left
the church than the coffin, which was
full of arms and nmmnition, was opened,
•mil, as the church commanded the town,
the island was taken almost without
; opposition.
The little bit of a girl wanted more
and more buttered toast, till she was
told that too much would make her sick.
Looking wistfully at the dish for a mo
ment, she thought she saw away out of
her difficulty, and excl'imod, "Well,
j/ive me annzzur piece and scud for the
I doctor."

village of La Croaae. The next apring,
however, the yonng oonple moved down
into lowa and nettled on a farm, and
several yearn aiuee went into Dakota.
He waa an honeat, hard-working man,

While drinking, do not look around.
Instruct the servant to hand the cap at

Use the knife for cutting only; never

A Mystified Bird.
A curious incident is related oi a can
ary bird bv a < toorgia paper. The door
of*the bird's cage was occasionally left
open that be might enjoy the freedom of
the room. One day he happened to
alight upon the mantelshelf where there
was a mirror. Here was a new diaoovrry
of the moat profound interest. He
gaaed long and curiously at himself, and
came to the conclusion that he had
found a mate. Going bark to his cage,
he selected a seed from his box, and
brought it in his bill as an offering to
the stranger. In vain the canary exerted
himself to make his new-found friend
partake, and becoming weary of that,
tried another tack. Stepping back a
few inches from the glass, he {toured
forth his sweetest notes, pausing now
and then for a reply. None came, and
moody and dispirited be flew back to his
perch, hanging his head in shame and
silence for the rest of the day; and al
though the door was repeatedly left
opeL, he refused to come out again.
Those men are worthy to be remem
bered who have left the world better
than they found it.
