This, however, is not the result of nature's handiwork alone, for science and art have leat their aid, The plant. ing, as well as the maintenance of the trees in French cities, is an item of no little importance in the sanual budget prepared by the municipal council, which does not look upon their preserva. tion as of less consequence than the re. pairing of the roadways or the lighting of the streets.

The future value and usefulness of your colt depends greatly on his train. ing. Human life is often saved and sacrificed, according as the colt has beeu trained. Convince him you are his superior and his friend, and. the foundation for his future education is well laid. This is most easily accomplished the first few days of his life, as he can then offer but little resistance to your wishes, and is, consequently, most impressed with your power over him.
