Lakoe Horse. 1 or e-eral yean
pant there bat been a good demand for
quick-stepping horses of rather more
iban the average work, such aa are
u i ted for an expreH wagon. There la
probably no style of draft horses harder
to supply than this, and If our breeders
will turn their attention to it we reel
cure It will prove profitable. Heavy
horses we have In sufficient numbers,
but most or them are too slow and ei
hibit too little spirit and endurance for
the business. A good mare crossed
with a good Perclieron or Clydesdale
stallion, should produce the desired
animal if (he slow trait and sleepy char
acter of the latter do not predominate
too much. The Mark Lane Ezpres de.
scribes such a horse: "i he head should
be comely, but not so small as that of
the running horse, as it enables the
animal to ihiow more weight into the
collar. He should be broad and flat
the forehead, have ueat, well set-on
ears, prominent-placed eyes, tlilu eve
lids, Urge nostrils, neat neck, and be
deep toward the chest; not very high In
the wither, with upright shoulders,
bioad forearm, broad, flat bone below
the knee, rather short pasterns, good
round leet, not too flat or too upright,
plenty of hoof, clean leg, straight hair
with plenty of loins and ribs well
arched. He should be long on the back
rib and long in the quarter; the
haunch should be strong, the hip well
down, the hock joint broad ; and for
breeder, no animal should be used that
is not Iree from curb, bog or spine spa
vin, splint or side bones. Horses with
well-developed muscles and good con
stitutions are easily kept and can en'
dure great fatigue."
Underdrainino. The Jiural Xec
Yorker says: "W here land is favorable
lor underdraining, the cost need not be
more than from J2 to $4 per acre, accor
ding to the prices paid for labor and
materials. The drain can be made of
pine boards; a strip 6. inches wide
nailed upon the edge of a strip
Irenes wide, and In lieu of bottom, nail
short strips across obout 4 feet apart to
keep the sides in their p'.aces. This
kind of drain will la-t many years, and
do good service. Therefore 1 would
recommend underdraiuing as being the
greatest benefit to the soil. But persons
who cannot conveniently underdrain
their land, should at least dig few
open ditches, of good size and proper
depth, for mains, and then when plow
ing make deep dead furrows, leading
into the ditches, which will be louud
highly beneficial."
i-'M all Things. Every farmer should
have a small room, tight and warm,
wl.ich he can lock, and where he can
keep his small tools. Then be wants a
good, solid work-bench, with an iron
rise on one Fide, and a wooden one on
ihe other. For iron working he wants
a solid piece of iron for an anvil, a seven
pound, Utel-faee hammer, a riveting
hammer, one large and one small cold
chisel, two or three punches, from one-
tourth to three eighths inch, a rimmer
and countersink, to be used with bit
stock, a screw plate that will cut a
screw from one-fourth to three eighths
inch; then, with round iron of the vari
ous sizes, and ready made nuts, he can
make any bolt he withes. For carpen
ter work, he wants a square, a shaving
horse, a drawing knile, a set of planes.

Mes and horses are the only animals
that sweat. In violent motion, their
respiration is increased, but not sul
cientiy to carry off the surplus heat,
hence tney perspire through the skin,
the pores of which become enlarged or
opened, and while In this condition both
are exceedingly liable to injury. No
horse thould be allowed to remain quiet
in a cold draft when heated and wet
with perspiration, withouta good warm
blanket covering. The ox cools off by
rapid breathing, the dog does the same,
and in the hottest July sun, he dailies
into the cold brook, coming out re-irei-hed,
having co perspiration to
check. Let men or horses make the
same plunge, in a heated state, and per
spiration would be suddenly checked,
endangering life or producing acute iu-
namiuaiion.
To Get Rid of Fleas. Mr. Ely said
at the last meeting of the Xew York
Farmers' Club that there are two or
three subnances that are obnoxious to
the flea he does not like the smell of
them, or they remind him of something
he does not like to think about these
are carbolic acid and sulphur. If you
want a barn thoroughly purged of wee
vil, or lice, or fleas, the best way is to
lumigate it wiih sulphur. But if you
whitewash all around the stables and
posts of the yard with a whitewash
made by adding carbolic acid to the
lime, will drive most of these peeta
away. Washing an animal thus in
fested with carbolic soapsuds will give
relief.
Ccctmber Bros. A correspondent of
the Geruiantown Telegraph writes:
''Melon and cucumber bugs like radish
leaves better than any other kind. 1
sow a few radish seeds in each hill, and
never lore a plant. Earth worms, cut
worms, white grubs, and, in fact, all
soft bodied worms are easily driven out
by salt sown broadcast. You can do no
harm with ten bushels to the acre, but
a half bushel is ample. JJry-slacked

Pels ov all kinds are a noosance. Pet
a mule with a klub and he Iz pasliunt,

full ov fleas, and pet munkeys are full
ov the devil. All pet children are ty
rants, and a pet deakon wants as mutch
watching as a pet coon coon duz. Pet
ideas are quite risky, and petopinyuns,
like second-hand clothing, are worth
just what you kan git fur them. A pet
wife soon gets to be captain, and a pet
baby rules the whole household. A pet
horse learns to be frisky, and a pet ser

his honesty. Pet friends are the bard

they turn from bunny to gaul, and pets
of all kinds are fastidious. A pet crow
can't tell what his next mischief will
be, and ov all pets none are more nasty
and cross than a pet parrot. Nothing
in this world was made to be petted,
for nothing was made to require it. Pet
hubbys are plenty and eazy to mount,
but are hard to stick to, and the ditch
es, all along life's turnpike, are filled
with the riders. A pet lam alwuss
makes a kross ram, and what has been
once petted can never be happy agin
without it. Live pete ov all kinds are

Method of Detecting Potash, Ad.
Carnot publishes a new and delicate test
for potash. Dissolve one part (10 grains)
of subnltrate of bismnth In a few drops
of hydrochloric acid; then dissolve
separately two parts (20 grains) crystal
lized hyposulphite of soda in small
quantity of water; pour the second so
lution into the first and add an excess
of strong alcohol. If a portion of this
reagent be brought into contact with a
few drops of a soluble potash salt, a
yellow precipitate Is immediately
formed ; if the potash salt is not In solu
tion a light yellow, but very distinct
coloration is produced. AH potash salts
of the mineral acids give this reaction.
Barium and strontium are the only
metals that might bemistaken for potash
as they form white double salts with
this reagent. As these bases seldom
occur along with potash, it is easy to
recognize and remove them. If a solu
tion contains but a few grains of potash
it should be evaporated to small volume
or to dryness in order to obtain the re
action more distinctly. Another way is
to saturate a strip of filter paper with
this solution and dry It- The vellow
color will be seen on the edges of the
paper.
Owing to the remarkable solubility of
all the simple and most of the donble
salts of potash, it. detection has been
quite difficult. Ihe usual reagents
hitherto in use were a solution of tar
taric acid, which must be freshly pre
pared, and chloride of platinum, which
is expensive and not very satisfactory.

slight yellow precipitate in a deep jel

A Silk-Sninnina Fish. There Is a mol-
hisk the pinna of the Mediteranean
hich has the curious power of spin
ning a viscid silk which is made in
Sicily into a textile fabric. The opera
tion of the mollusk is rather like the
work of a wire-drawer, the substance
being first cast in a mould formed by a
sort of si t in the tongue, and then
drawn out as may be reuuired. The
mechanism is exceedingly curious. A
considerable number of the bivalves
possess what is called a hyssu, that is, a
bundle of more or less delicate n laments
issuing from the base of the foot, and
by means of which the animal fixes it
self to foreign bodies, it employs the
foot to guide the filaments to the proper
place and to gl'je them there; and it
can reproduce them when cut away.
The extremity of the thread is attached
by means of its adhesive quality to some
stone; and this done, the pinna, reced
ing, draws out the thread through the
perforation of the extensile member.

Electric Light Invention. We noticed
a short time ago, the important inven
tion of M. M. Jabloschkoff and Devay
rouze for obtaining a steady electric
light without use of a regulator, the
arrangement being somewhat In the
form of a candle, with two carbons as
wicks. The same physicists have an
nounced a further invention, which, in
some sort, completes the first. A plate
of kaolin is placed between the two ex
tremities of the exterior wire of an in
duction coil, and that portion between
the points is coated with a conducting
substance. The current illuminates the
latter, and gradually volatilizes it; but
after its disappearance, the porcelain
paste, heated to a red-white, is found to
be conductive itself, and to give a good
ight. Aluminous centre can thus be
had quite as intense as with carbon
points, but having the immense advan
tage of being absolutely steady. Further
with the same cunent a number of these
uminous centres can be formed. The
authors have distributed the force of
one coil among fifty burners on this
new system, and tliey can vary the lu
minous intensity from the maximum of
electric lamps to the brightness of a
candle. The invention appears to be
one of great promise. The Telegraphic

This requires some watering toward

up. Immediately when set off stir the
surface with a spoon. This can be done
two or three times in as many minutes.
Then let it rest. In about ten minutes

a few cups are wanted, more water

U removed from the stove, or hot water
may be used to dilute the coffee when
it is poured out, as is sometimes done
with tea. In this way your coffee is

Oriental Gambling.
The "gentle Hindoo" and "mild
Mohammedan" have, it seems, invented
between them a perfectly novel sort of
gambling. In one quarter of the In
teresting City of Ajmer there is a house
occupied by some soothsayers who are
credited by the public with the faculty
of foreseeing changes of weather. They
are represented to be remarkably ac
curate in their predictions, owing to
long practice in their profession. Out
side the residence of these worthy seers
a crowd of natives assemble every day
for the purpose of betting on the chance
of a downpour. After the "straight
tip" has been purchased from one of
the prophets, the buyer commences bel
lowing, after the manner of "list men''
on English race courses, that he will
take or lay certain odds about the fall
of rain within given time. The or
dinary quotations are sixteen to one
against heavy rain coming down within
twenty-four hours, eight to one against
a light shower happening, and longer
odds in both cases as the time is reduced.
When the weather happens to be ex
ceptionally variable, the h ole street
becomes blocked by an excited throng
of gamblers, and the prophets do a
smart business in "straight tips." It
appears that the seers themselves very
often join in the amusement and back
their respective opinions with the great
est pluck. As the hour approaches for
the majority of the bets to be decided,
the more nervous gamblers are beard
offering their chances of winning at a
heavy discount. This allows the weath-
erprophetsan opportunity of "hedging"
at considerable advantage, and it fre
quently happens that the book of an
old seer will show a certainty of gain,
whether the rain falls or not. London

arising from the use of alcohol during
hot weather. "Itsavs: "The first im

you how he conquered. It Is a true
story.
A shipping merchant in Xew York
had purchased a cargo of wheat at the
West. He intended to bring it on, and
shin it to Charleston. S. C. His agent
had sent him word that the price of
wheat was likely to fall, and that, the
sooner be got it to the South, the better :
so the merchant was very anxious. He
had all bis men ready to take the wheat
as soon as it should arrive, and to place
It on his vessel.
At last it came: but this happened
on a holiday. Tne night before, the
merchant went to the superintendent,
and said, "You must have the laborers
work to-morrow, it win oe worth nun
dreds of dollars to me If I get my wheat
off within a dav or two. 1 will pay you
all extra." The superintendent said he
would try. He spoke to the men, and
thev all promised to give up tneir noil
dav. But what do you think? The next
day the wheat arrived, and not a man
on the ground to receive Ir. They bad
broken their premises. Mr. Robinson
was in great trouble. What to do he
knew not. He was a Christian man, and
just bowed bis head on his desk, and
asked God to direct and help him.
Almost as soon as he had finished,
there came a knock at his door. "Come
in." sa'.d he: and a young lad presented
himself. H.s clothes were poor, but
clean and nicely patched. In his eye
there was a firm, determined look,
which said, "I do whatever 1 under
take." "I understand, sir," said the boy,
"that vou wish a carg of wheat
loaded."
I do." replied the merchant.
"Well, sir, 1 shall be pleased to do it
ror you."
The merchant looked at him in as
tonishment. "You! you!" he exclaimed
"And how long do you wish In order to
begin workr"
"Just one minute, sir."
"My lad," said the merchant, "if you
load that wheat to-day, I will give you
two hundred dollars."
In an instant the boy stepped out,
and in another minute ten men marched
up, and, under the directions of the boy,
began. That, children, was the begin
niug of the career of one of our greatest
business men. Always le prompt If
vou wish to succeed. Be energetic.
Keep vour word to the very letter,
Though others yield to idleness, yet do
you go right ahead : thus will you prove
yourselves worthy of the confidence of
those about you. Sunday School t isitor.
"Blue Ski Somewhere." Children are
eloquent teachers. Many a lesson
which does our heart good have we
learned from their lisping lips. It was
but the other day another took root in
memory. We were going to a picnic,
and, of course, the little ones had been
in ecstacies for several days, But the
ppointed morning; broke with no glad
sunshine, no songs of birds, no peals of
mirth.
There was every prospect of rain
even Hope hid her face and wept.
"Sha n t we go mother! exclaimed
a child of five, with passionate empha
sis.
"If it clears off."
Hut when will it clear off?"
O, look out for blue sky !"
And so he did poor little fellow
but never a bit of blue sky gladdened
his eyes.
"Well, I don't care, mother aid he,
when the tedious day had at length
numbered all its hours; "if I haven't
seen it, I know there is blue sky some
where. '
The next morning there was blue sky
a whole heaven full of it; clear, glori
ous blue sky, such as only greets us
after a weary storm.
1 here, mother, didn 1 1 tell you so? "
cried a joyous voice; "there is blue sky !
Then the little head dropped for a mo
ment in silent thought.
"Mother!" exclaimed the child when
he again looked up, "there must have
been blue sky all day yesterday, though
1 never saw a bit of It. 'cause, vou see.
there aint no plae where it could have
gone to. God oi ly covered it up with
clouds, didn't he?"
A Botel that Pretcheil A Sermon. A
City boy by (lie name of Ferdinand
whose parei-ts were very rich, took a
loud walk into tiie country. Becom
ing a little weary, he stopped at a farm
house, and bought a large bowl of bread
and milk, lie took it under a shady
tree, and sat down to enjov the luxury.
it wa o good. Bui a .hue way off stood
a poor boy, w ho had also wandered out
of the city. lie was thin and pale, and
looked hungry; but he had no money,
rerdiuand knew right well. At one
nmment he thought of dividing the
bread and milk with the poor boy, as
the thought came that it would taste
even better to him; but he smothered
his generous impulse, and ate the whole.
On ita being emptied he saw at the
bottom of the bowl a picture in blue,
Inch he began studying a little.
Around the picture were some printed
words, lie read, he blunhed ; and then,
as If suddenly s.ruck with a thought,
he hastened again to the house, got the
bjwl tilled, and went back to the poor
boy, to whom he gave it, and told him
to eat it while reeling bj the roadside.

proved so effective in its work: "lie

S. M. Pf-ttetiKill A t'o.'a Advertitlna; Agency.
This Agency has a world-wide fame.
It has earned and enjoyed this honor
for nearly the liie-time of a generation.
It lias Secured and long enjoyed the
confidence of the newspaper press of
the land. Mr. S. M. l'eltengill, the
head, has long been eminent for tact.
talent, urbanity, anil high business
honor. In advertising he has expended
to the benefit of advertisers over twelve
millions of dollars, and has largely as
sisted in making tlii fortunes of a large
number of bis customers. He is Agent
for more than 7,000 newspapers, l'et
tengill's Agency, with branches in Bos
ton aud 1'hiladelphia, is the largest
Advertising Agencv In the world, and
the oldest iu this country. It offers
special inducements to business men
who wish to advertise. Advertising
lias become a positive necessity to suc
cess. A man out of busine.- for three
years, and who comes back, could no
more do business in the old style than
last year's chicken could get back
into Its shell. Judicious advertisers
make large fortunes, if thev have a eood
article, and know how to trade. Men
who build up a great business, must do
it through the press. A business man
can go into PettengiU's fine rooms, con
sult with the influential press of the
land, make satisfactory terms with
prominent papers, decide the manner
in w hich advertisements shall be nrint-
ed, close a contract with publishers In
all the cities ol the Union, from Bangor
. . .ULULV, iivui x bui ui.ieir
Orleans, and do It actually cheaper,
without leaving the office, than he could
If he should visit each of the cities in
person. Practical knowledge Is needed
to advertise successfully. This comes
only from long and successful experi
ence. The best and most appropriate
mediums must be selected. The matter
must be displayed properly. Men must
know what amount of mouey to lay out
In advertising, know when to lavish
and when to contract. Just here, the
valve of the Agency comes In. Men
who ofler their services to conduct ad
vertising for a house, to be of any use,
must possess talent, ability, and prob
ity. Mr. Peitengui is a practical
printer. He knows all about news
papers. He has proved himself one of
the most successful advertisers of the
age. By fair, honorable, and liberal
dealings, he has won the confidence of
the press everywhere, tie is prompt
in bis payments, perfectly responsible,
makes large contracts, and can make
better terms with the papers than an
individual can do. Publishers know
that his check is ready for any amount
of space be contracts lor. He can select
for advertisers the papers best suited to
their trade. He can guide in regard to
the setting-up of the matter, and see
that the advertisement has the best lo
cation. All his great facilities are
placed at the disposal of his customers
iibout charge. PettengiU's Agency
is centrally located, being opposite the
new U. S. Post Office. 37 Park Kow,
X. Y-; 10 Slate Street, Boston; and
701 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. The
business is done on a perfect s stem.
On file are all the leadiug periodicals
daily, weekly, monthly, both of the
United States and the British provinces,
ready for inspection. Advertisers can
know at any time whether their con
tracts are being carried out. In forma
lion concerning advertising is cheer
fully git en. Contracts are made for
advertisements in any and all papers in
the land. Estimates and costs ol inser
tions are given without charge. Con
nected wiih the Xew York Agency is a
fine reading-room, tree to alt business
men. Prudent men do their advertising
as they do their other business. They
do not deposit in shaky banks. They
do not take policies in a life insurance
company that cannot pay expenses.
Men want sound banks. They carry
life policies in a company that has re
pute and success. If tbey are In trou
ble, they call in eminent counsel, who
know what to do or bow to do it. It is
on these principles that PettengiU's
Agency has attained its high repute. It
has made the fortunes of many of its
customers, as well as iu own. Its high
me-cantile honor is its capital. It keeps
up with the times. It offers its unsur
passed facilities for advertising to all
business men who wish to make their
trade known in all the land. Boston
