BREAKING A COLT.
The Uii|h.hi. Indian Wa y toy which
Vouu lloraca ara Nuliiluxl
L. N. Cann relates that a gentleman
who had tricnl tlio Spanish, Harry and
other methods to subdue a wild colt,
finally tried the Indian way. lie made
a complete "dummy" man, whose long
dangling arms, and queer misshapen
body, with its stuffed hat instead of a
head, caused the little children much
amusement, mingled with astonish
ment, when he gravely informed them
that "that was the man that was going
to break our colt for us." In vain they
plied him with questions. lie would
answer none of them, and they await
ed further proceedings with the great
est curiosity.
Next morning the colt was brought
out in good order. It see mini to have
entirely recovered from the excitement
of the day before,and enjoyed the curry
ing and petting the boys gave it, taking
an apple from the hand of one, and a
lump of sugar and a piece of bread
from another. Meanwhile he had his \
"dummy" all ready, and with the as- I
sistaneo of one of the lads, standing
on the other side of the animal, lifted
it lightly on the colt's back; and be
fore letting it feel the weight of the 1
"dummy" they had the girth, extend
ing from each leg of the pants, secure
ly fastened beneath.
All then stood ;iside, whilst the boy
U the colt's head slipped otf the bridle j
and got out of its way. Feeling now, I
for the first time, the burden on its
back, and anticipating a repetition of
the previous performance, the colt
dashed off into the lot, rearing and
plunging, and going through a series
of equine gymnastics wonderful to be
hold, whilst the old "dummy," held
securely in its position by the girth
around the horse, pitched forwards or
backwards as the case might be, with
its long arms Hung wildly in the air;
now coming down ori the horse's head,
now on its haunches, then giving a
frantic lurch to the right or left, with
head downwards ami arms dangling
bet ween the colt's legs, or recovering
itself wildly, as the terrified animal
reared on its haunches to perform a
Mazeppa act, as it threw itself over
the horse's tail ami hung on by its
heels, that would have made tlie fir
tune of any equestrian in the land.
All leaned over the bars, and laughed
'.ill the tears ran down their cheeks, as
they watched the performance of this
"free show" for their benefit, liappv
that they knew the colt could not harm
himself or anybody else, and free from
care concerning the safety of the
dummy, whose ludicrous proceedings
all could enjoy to their hearts' content. !
The maneuvers of the rolt to rid
itself of its utterly reckless rider were
wonderful to behold. Finding that
rearing, prancing, kicking and plung
ing did not accomplish its object, it
ruhlied itself against the fence, and
finally lay down and rolled over several
times, but all to no purpose. I lummy
still held on with the tenacity of Sin
bad's Old Man of the Sea. At last,
however, the loosened girth slipjHsl •
around, and duminv dismounted from
his late proud perch, was left dragging
and dangling along l>etween the colt's
heels, who made one last desperate ef
fort to free himself from it, but, as
before, the attempt was a vain one,
for the dummy still held on with the
stubbornness of fate.
Perceiving, finally, that no harm was
done to him, the colt cooled down, and
at last commenced eating the grass as
contentedly as if the object of his late
terror were not trailing on the ground
lieneath him; for by this time that colt
had been completely broken. That j
night, when he was released from his
burden, he was as quiet as a lamb.
Next morning the boys mounted ami
rode him where they would, without
the slightest resistance on his part;
and never, from that day to this, has
he shown any opposition to the will of
"the powers that lie."
To Clean Lamp Bnrncrs.
Kerosene oil is generally used for
lights in the country, and the cleaning
of lamp chimneys is quite tiresome, but
must he attended to every day. The ,
burners often get out of fix. and it is
very vexatious to keep them in run
ning order. Wlu-n they get clogged
and will not turn up or down, and are
all covered with soot ami gum, do not
throw them away, but take a little
iron kettle and put in a pint of wood
ashes and a quart of water; put in the
burners and set them on the stove, and
let them boil five or ten minutes; take
them out, and, with atlift rag, wash
them clean and dry them well. They
are then as good s new, and will do
another six months. It Is very little
trouble to do it, and saves much vexa
tion. After one has tried it once she
will not lie apt to forget It. Nice
looking, clean lamps are quite orna
ucntal, while a smoky chimney ami j
bail smelling burners are not agree J

DIPHTHERIA.
Meti of ln(rda( < onrtrnlni thlfl Kpl
<l r mica I UUMM. lIOW It U Convryetl.
Notwithstanding the alarming pre
valence of diphtheria throughout the
country, few people comparatively
know anything of its history. It is
not a new disease, but has prevailed
epidemically from the earliest times of
which we have any mistical record.
A medical work published in Sanscrit
more than 2.100 years ago mentions
this disease and describes the manner
of its attack. It was very prevalent
in Spain from 1 r81 to 1011, and was
known as garrotillo. In Naples dur
ing 1017 it swept away whole families
and the disease was accurately de
scribed in 1040 by a French physician.
Hailloii. It was first observed in our
country by Dr. Samuel llard, who
called it an "uncommon and danger
ous distemper." It derives its name
diphtheria from the (Ireek word
diphthera (leather). This name was
j given to it early in this century by a
\ French physician, Jlret/onneau, on ac-
I count of the leathery appearance of j
the false membrane which is one of j
! the characteristics of the disease, j
There are numerous theories as t<> the ,
I causes which produce diphtheria, but ,
the question has never been satisfae- j
torilv settled. What it is is quite its I
I much a matter of dispute. All are
! agreed that it is a virus, known by it*
| fruits, but no one has ever traced its
j actual source. Microscopical and
chemical tests have failed to reveal in
what this poison consists. Of its ef
fects, however, wo have abundant
proof.
The greatest number of eases occur
between the lir*t and fifth year of life,
and it has a tendency to affect a num
ber of persons belonging to the same
family. This fact proves, according to
Mackenzie, that age and family sus
ceptibility are important pnsli.*|o*ing
causes. This eminent authority also
| observes that "in its endemic form it
rarely attacks those wltoli vc in healthv
and well-ventilated houses." Again,
the same author remark*: "1 lie wealthy
are sometimes subjected t-> causes of
infection which the poore*t may es
cape," because "when diphtheria l>o
c<>mcs epidemic in a town an elaborate
system of drainage is , al. ul.itixl to
e .nvev the (Miison by means of tl •
sewers." It Is well understood l>v the
profession that it may b>- conveys*! by
a person not actually affected by it.
Several years ago the habit of taking
I children especially into street ears or
other public conveyances was loudly
condemned for tins reason by city
physicians. The custom of public
• funerals has undouhtixlly much to do
with spreading the disease. People do
not yet thoroughly understand that it
]K)**es.ses tie- property of adhering t>
clothing, wall* of houses, furniture,
etc., in as marked degree as do the
gertns of sin.ill-pox, only awaiting
some particular condition of tlie at
mosphere to arouse it to action. Diph
theria is said to be ni >re common, a*
well as more fatal, in the country than
, in the city. This fact would seem to
indicate that with all their advantages
for obtaining pure air and pure water,
country |ie<>ple are generally careless
as to the proper ventilation of their
dwelling-liou*es, the condition of their
cellars, and as to tlio relations their
water wells lear to their stables and
Imuse-drains. However, they are get
ting to understand these things better,
and if the theories of the perpetuation
of diphtheria lie correct, the time mav
come when it will be with them but a
memory of the past.

American Restlessness.
Dr. Fdward Kggleston's paper in
one of bis t'entnry series of articles on
colonial history, describes "The migra
tions of American colonists," and
alludes as follows to an American
trait; From the beginning' the Ameri
cans have liecn a migratory people.
New Knglanders. as we have .seen,
planted themselves in Westchester and
on Dong Island, came by throngs into |
Fast Jersey, and migrated to the more
southern colonies. ,s Virginians
helped to people Maryland and North
Carolina, migrated northward to New
York, and. even before the Revolution,
began to look wistfully over the
mountain barrier into the great inte
rior valley. New York Dutch migrat
ed to South Carolina; some of them
settled also in Maine, Pennsylvania,
and Maryland; while Pennsylvania,
excited by fear of Indian maiwacre
during French wars, occupied much of
the mountain and "piedmont" regions
of the colonies to the southward. It
is said that of 8500 militiamen of
Orange county in North Carolina, dur- ,
ing the Revolution, every inan was a
native of Pennsylvania. There was
an incessant movement to and fro of
people seeking to better their condi- 1
tiop. Once the Kuropcan had broken ]
uAvay from his mooring of centuries,
/The YMtness of the new continent '
piqued him, and ho became a rover.
This Instability as to placo remains
yet In the American character. The
mental alertness, which comes of
changing circumstances, new scenes,
and unexpected dilllcultios, was early
remarked by travelers as a character
istic of the native colonies."
TIIK FAMILY DOCTOIt.
Dr. Foot?'* Ilmlth Monthly advises
parents not to punish a child by boxing
or pulling its ears.
Kerosene oil will euro chilblains.
Hub the parts affected thoroughly with
the oil before going to bed. A second
application may be necessary.
To prevent the hair from falling
out, apply once a week with a piece of
llannel or sponge a wash made of one
ounce of powdered borax, half an
ounce of powdered camphor, and one
quart of boiling fater.
Dr. Hartford Thomas, in his capacity
j as coroner, has directed public attention
1 to the mortality which follows the
| neglect of measles. It is a common
I opinion among the poor that a child
j must have the measles, and that when
! it gets the disease it requires no treat
t ment and hut little care. This Is a
| mistake. In the records of vital
' statistics it may be seen that it often
proves more fatal in the large towns
than any other zymotic disease, more
even than scarlatina. With medical
and parental care the disease generally
docs well, but without this it is liable
to serious complications and apt t
leave disagreeable consequences. Lou

Splendid Miser,
Dich.eus Dichieanus was a splendid
miser, who united the opposite charac
ters of great parsinmny and magnifi
cent appearance, which he thought
himself bound to maintain, as he
claimed u descent fr m the lly/untim

a day, as it tor grand entertainments,
and the sen ants sent out with sil
ver dish, s and ro\crs, which, aft. r j as
sing a few streets, they brought back
empty as they went out, while their
master was .lining on .-heap vegeta
Id. s, or. perhaps, a morsel of pork or

When he went out. his servants at

their return they were ordered to as

servants were ordered to wash in the
sun, or if the sky was cloudy, to run

that they might be warm.si without
the expense of a lire. He himself wa
shut up in his liedroom over a tnisera

During his last sickness, when h

Health Hints.
Walking of itself, says Dr. Sa.geant,
of Harvard college, Is of no value as
an exercise, but a spirited walk is one
if the finest of all physical exercises.
If a man enters heartily into ttiia exer
cise he will be benefited by it. Horse
back riding is an excellent exercise
for circulation, as very little of the
nervous energy is expended. For a
person who uses the mind excessively,
however, this form of exercise is not
g.xxl, as it produces nervousness.
Swimming is, without exception, one
of the finest of all physical exercises.
It develops especially the lower portion
of the chest, the legs and arms. Run
ning, at a regular and fixed pace; box
ing, to teach one to keep the temper
under adverse circumstances; rowing
and canoeing, to strengthen the upper
part of the thorax and chest, arc use
ful. The benefit to be derived from
regular practice in a gymnasium, by
which the mind and nerve-centres are
so trained that they have a certain
amount of control over the body, so
that, while the muscles may give out,
this mental power when once obtained
by physical training will never be lost,
Is.if tbe greatest account. Our lti.-s are
full of thoughtless persons who pride
themselves upon being sujierior
creatures because tliey indulge in the
luxury of a full bath daily, with a fre
quent Turkish or Russian ablution as
an extra a kind of bath which the
doctor thinks should only be taken
j under advice for disease. He explains
that tr.-c perspiration and the wearing
| of h. axy flannels promote the functions
i of the skin, so that only an amount of
j bathing essential to cleanliness is
j needed to maintain health. Warm
baths arc the substitutes whi h luxury
, has <le\is.-d to do the work of exercise
j end make up for the deficiencies of
artificial life. Tw ice a week is often
anougli to take them, a. cor.Lng to the
I. • turer, as their too frequent use is de
i bilitating. The tonii <lb * t of a cool
sponge bath in the morning would not
willingly l- gi\.-n up by those who
know the delightful afterglow and the
protection which the habit a Turds
against colds; but here again a dis
tnon sense, step, hi and says: "No
r. Id baths, unless they are agreeable
and you are. in point of health and
vigor, fully up to it." The intelligent
jx-rson who learns to "know his

A Strange Disease.
Dr. Mallard, a practitioner in one . f
the midland counties of Fngland, has
recently rejmrtd to the llritish in.sh
ea! as -• -ciation th<* facts of a curious
j epidemic that prevailed in his neigh-
Ixirhixxl a few months ago. Neventv
two persons were attacked with the
disease, which res.inbled that pro
duced by tlie ravag.-s of trichina
: spiralis in all its essential features, but
was apparently milder in Its type.
Two of the patients died, however.
The outbreak was traced to the eating
I of ham in a small hotel in the v icinity
( where many persons had din.sl on th
occasion of a public gathering, and
naturally, the first hypothesis adopted
bv Dr. Mallard was that the disease
was true trichinosis, t'n examining
the remnant sof the barn, however, it
was discovered that the dreaded para
sit.* were for once inn.cent of the im
putation preferred against them, but j
I that the meat was fill.si with bacteria
j of decomposition, somewhat smaller
than the trichina spiralis though no j
j b-ss capable of reproducing themselves
' in any healthy organism into which
j they might be inoculated or find
entrance. The facts of this epidemic
led Dr. Mallard to institute an investi
gation as to the presence of bacteria of
decay in cured meats offered for sale in
the markets of different cities and
towns that he visited and ultimately
to the discovery that this form of in
fection is a very common one. Not- |
tingham was among i.e towns cm.
braced within the round of his micro
scopic inquiries. He found that in the
interior of apparently sound hams the
bundles of muscle near the Is me were
crowded with bacteria in active move
ment, and that when sections of such
meat w ere foil raw to dogs, the animal.*
sickened and showed symptoms of arut.
poisoning in tlie course of a few hours.
I)r. Mallard suggests in his report that
many cases of disease hitherto attrib
uted to the operations of the trichina
may be due to the presence of organ
isms of decay. The attack in such
cases, though siil>stantially similar in
its symptoms, is essentially milder and
more tractable than true trichinosis,
and yields more readily to such agents
a. hyposulphate of soda and sulphur
ous acid. The observation recorded
by the doctor have excited attention
in France an.l Oermany us well as
Fngland, and in France the Inspectors
of meat have been instructed to give
special attention to the subject.
LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
T.I. or. Crath 11.1.
The question of the opera hat (gen
erally called crush hat j says a New
York letter, has come up again. The
young gentlemen dancers, especially
those of the genus "dude," rather like
it, for it gives them something to hold
in their hands as a disguise for their
awkwardness; but the young ladies
steadily, if not always loudly, protest
that it would be just as sensible for a
dancer to carry his umbrella into the
ball room, and quite as graceful to
take a porcelain plate from the table
and carry it through the Herman.
Nay, they would prefer a clean plate
for the hat soils their dresses when
pressed against them in the warm
hand. I here was an amusing inci
dent at the Family t'ircle dancing

Lay an auger on top of her head with

hair in a verse taken from the Bible.
Then take a wooden plug, place the

while muttering something akin to 'I

Advice to a Floy.
Get away from the crowd a little
while every day. my dear Imy. Stand
one side and let the world run by
while you get acquainted with your
self; and sec w hat kind of a fellow
you are. Ask yourself hard questions
about yourself; find out all you can
almut yourself. Ascertain from origi
nal sources if you are really the man
ner of man people say you are; fin 1
out if you are always honest; if you
always tell the square perfect truth in
business deals; if your life is as good
and upright at eleven o'clock at night
as it is at noon; if you are as good a
temperance man on a fishing excursion
as you are at a Sunday-school picnic;
if you are as good a liov when you go
to Chicago as you are at home; if, in
short, you really are the sort of young
man your father hopes you are, your
mother says you are, and your /sweet
