COLTS.

The breaking of colt should commence
before he is twentyfour hours old. Han
die him frequently; make pet of him.
Bride him young, and the winter when he
is two years old, place wagon saddle Oh
his back, and buckle the grit loosely.
Take it off at night, and after doing this
few times, add the breechng, and pursue
this course with all parts of the harness,
until the whole is familiar With him. Then
add the whipPletree, and while a careful
person leads him, hold back so that he
may feel The pressure Of the collar or
breasiplatc gradually. II he is high spir-
tied, SO much the better-if you do not
heat him. Be rcsolute and firm with him,
but not abusive.

Hot Summers.

The excessive heat that prevails at pres
cnt gives some interest to the following ac-
count Of remarkably hot summers In
1892 the earth opened, and the rivers and
springs disappeared in Alsace. The Rhine
was dried up. III 1852 the heat was 50
great that eggs were cooked in the sand.
In 1850, at the battle of Bella, great
number of soldiers died from the heat
In 1916 and 1877, in France, an absolute
failure of the crops Of grass and oats oc-
Cured. In 1903 and 1904, the Seine, the
Loire, the Rhine, and the Danube, were
passed over dry footed. In 1893 and 1894,
great numbers Of animals fell dead, and
the crops were soorched up. In l440
the heat was excessive. In 1888, 1899,
1910, 1911, the rivers were almost entire
ly dried up. In 1856 there was great
drouth over all Europe. In 1915 and
1916, the heat was overwhelming in
France, Italy, and the Netherlands. In
l646 there were SO consecutive days of
excessive heat. In 1878 excessive heat.
The same was the case in the first three
years of the eighteenth century. In l7Is
it did not rain once from the month of
April to the month Of October. The
crops were burnt up, the rivers were dried
up, and the theatres were closed by decree
of the Lieutenant of Police. The Their
mometer marked SO degrees of Reamur
(ll3 of Fahrenheit.) In gardens which
were watered, fruit trees lowered twice.
In 1923 and 1924, the heat was extreme.
In TAG, summer very hot and very dry,
which actually calcined the crops. Dur
ing several months no rain fell. In l749,
1854, 1850, 1867, l778, and 1888, the
heat was excessive. In 1911, the year of
the celebrated comet, the summer was
very warm and The wine delicious, even
at Suscenes. In 1918 the theatres re-
mained closed fer nearly a month, owing
TO the heat. The maxlum heat was 50
degrees 400 rs Fahrenheit.) In 1890,
while fighting was going on on the 9th,

Pruning i'll Autumn.

The late S. w. Cole, who strongly re-
commended autunnal pruning for fruit
trees, says, "Thirty-two years ago, in
September, we cut a very large branch
from an apple tree, on account Of an inju-
ry by gale. The tree was old, and it has
never healed over, but it is now sound,
and almost as hard as horn, and the tree
perfectly hard around il. A few years be-
fore and after, large limbs were cut from
the same tree in the spring and where
they were cut off the tree has rotied, so
that quart measure may be put IN the
cavity. Alb. CultiUator.

That is a Boy that can Trust"

| once visited large public school At
recess, little fellow came up and spoke
10 the master; as he turned TO 90 down
the platform, the master said - That is q

looked at him when he took his seat after
recess. He had fine, open, manly face.

boy canned. He had already got what
would be worth more to him than ? for

into the confidence and respect Of the
whole community,
| wonder if the boys know how soon
they are rated by older people every
boy in the neighborhood is known and
opinions are formed CT him: he has a
character either favorable or unfavorable.
A boy whom the master can sav. :" | can
trust him; he never failed me-" will never
want employment. The fidelity, prompt
ness and industry which he shows at
school are in demand everywhere, and are
priced everywhere. He who will be faith
tul in little, will be faithful also in much.
BE sure, boys, that You can earn a good
reputation at school. Remember, you are
just where God has placed YOU, and your
duties are not so much given YOU by your
teachers or your parents, as by God him
self. You must render an account 10
them, and you will also be called to rem
der an account to Him. BE trusty--be

The tories sprang to their feet, but the
heroic woman presenting the musket
threatened to shoot the first who stirred.
While standing irresolute, Mr. Hart and
the neighbors rushed in and secured them

them they were executed on the spot.
This incident is well authenticated, and
may be relied upon as being literally true.

and exertions were heard IN the rear.
Mrs. Hart's cabin was constructed with a
front and back door, one being directly
opposite the other; these doors she IN
slanrIy threw open, leaving free passage
through into large swamp behind It,
Having done this, she ran quickly and
let down the bars in front OF the cabin,
and waved her hand for the horseman to
