rndnstrioua Habits.

Teach your children to be industrious.
Il is the best preventative of crime-the
hest guardian to virtue. Read the history
of hundreds who Eli our prisons, and learn
that idleness was the cause of their ruin
Young men of industrious habits are seldom
found in the sinks of poliution-disgracine
themselves and TIER parents. The increase
of crime among US is chiefly caused by the
distaste of honest labor; too many would
rather steal than work. live could pre-
serve the coming generation from those
sins and vices which degrade the present
times, teach them good trades, and bring
them up to industrious habits. Idleness,
late hours, and disregard of the Sabbath.

Are Thin People Most Liable to Ap-
oplexY.

Persons below the middle height, ro-
bust, with large hands, and short thick
necks, says the Scientific Anpertcan, are
generally recognized as apoplectic subjects
but foreign medical author asserts that it is
confined to no particular conformation of
the body, all persons being alike liable to be
attacked by it. The predisposing causes
are the habitual indulgence of the appetite
in rich and gross food, or stimulating drinks,
coupled with luxurious and indolent habits3
sedentary employment carried an undue
length; the habit of sleeping, especially in q
recumbent posture, after a full meal; and
lying too long in bed. Persons, however,
who are predisposed to this disease, should
not fail to profit by the warning of its ap-
proach, such as giddiness, drowsiness, loss
of memory, twitching of the muscles, falter-
ing of the speech, &c. Their diet should
be light and nutritious, all luxurious habits
should be abandoned, and moderate exercise
should be taken. Above all, they should
avoid giving way to their passions, as it is
well known that many persons have been
struck with death in the midst of q fit Of
fan0er.

The Federal Administration in 1872

The Federal Administration in 1920.
The first chapter of Col. Benton's ''Thir-
ty Years. opens with this view of the
personal aspect of the then Admins
tration:
All the Departments Of the Government
appeared to great advantage in the person
al character of their administrators, at the
time of my arrival as Senator at Washing
ton. Mr.. Monroe was President, Govern
or Tompkins was Vice President; Mr.. John
Quincy Adams Seeretery of State; Mr..
VIM. II. Crawford Secretary of the Treas
ury; Mr.. John c. Calhoun Secretary of
War; Mr.. Smith Thompson, of New York,
Secretary of the Navy; Mr.. John Mclean
Postmaster General. Those constituted
the Executive Department; and it would be
difficult to find in any Government, in any
country, at any time, more dignity and de-
corum, more purity of private life, larger
mass of information, and more addiction to
business, than was comprised in this list of
celebrated names.
OF all this splendid galaxy only Mr.. Nc
Lean, Justice of the Supreme Court, re-
mains TO the country.

A good yarn is told of DIR. Thompson,
of Atlanta, generous, good man, tiptop
landlord and wit; but he certainly caught it
once: traveller called very late for breakfast
the meal was hurriedly prepared. Thomp-
son, feeling that the ''feed" was not quite up
to the mark, made all sorts of apologies all
around the eater, who worked on in silence,
never raising his head beyond the afinitive
influence of his fork, or by an act acknowl-
edging even the presence of mine host. This
sulky demeanor rather "hea'd' the Doctor
who changing the range of his battery, stuck
his thumbs in his vest armholes, expanded
his chest by robbing the room of half its air,
and said: ''Now, Mister, dod durn me if
haint made all the apology necessary, and
more too, considering the breakfast and who
gets it, and now l tell you, have seen dirt
Ter. worse cooked, worse tasted, worse look
ing, and smaller breakfasts than this is sew
eral times" The weary, hungry one, meek
ly laid down his tools, swallowed the bite
in transitu, placed the palms of his hands
together, and modestly looking UP at the
vexed and fuming landlord, shot him dead
with the words following, viz: '.Is-what
Yes, sir, came with
a vindictive promptness. Well then, I'm
blest, hoss, if you han't out travelled me-"
There was posted in the front door small
nigger, especially to tell the wayfaring man
''dat he didn't owe muffin dar sartin sure"
After he was fairly under way. Thompson
was observed peering from an attic window,
taking a prolonged rear view of the steed
and his rider with four foot telescope. It
has been intimated that the Doctor hesitated
many seconds between the choice of the
glass and double barreIed shot gun.

HOW TO TEACH HORSE TO STAND WITHOUT
HIFCHING.
81 After you have taught your horse to
follow you, stand him in the center of the
stable, begin at his head to gentle him,
gradually working backward. If he moves
give him gentle cut with the whip, and
put him back in the same place from which
he started. If he stands caress him as be-
fore, and continue gentling him In this way
until you can get around him without ma
king him move. Keep walking around him.
increasing your pace, and only touching
him. occasionally. Every time he moves
put him back into the same place; GO still
farther from him; if he moves give him a
cut with your whip and place him back in
the same place. If he stands go to him
frequently and caress him. Do not let him
stand too long, but make him follow you
around the stable. Then stand him in an
other place and proceed as before. After
you have him so that he viii stand in the
stable take him out in the lot and place him
there, and in short time you can place
him anywhere without hitchin9. You
should not practice him longer than half an
hour at time.

If you have balky horses, it is YOUR fault.
and not the horses; for if they do not pull
true, there is some cause for it, and if YOU
will remove the cause the effect will cease.
When your horse balks, he is excited,
and does not know what you want him to
do. When he gets little excited, stop him
FIVE or ten minutes: let him become calm:
go to the balky horse, pat him, and speak
gently to him, and as soon as he is over
his excitement he will, nine cases out
of ten, pull at the word; whipping and
slashing and swearing only makes the mat
ter worse. After you have soothed him
awhile, and his excitement has cooled down,
take him by the bits; turn him each way as
far as you can; pull out the tongue; soothe
him little; unrein him; then step before
the balky horse, and let the other start frsti
then you can take him anywhere you wish
A balky horse is always high spirited, and
starts quick; has his pull out before the 9th

starts too. By close application of this
If a horse has been badly spoiled you
should hitch him to the empty wagon, and
pull it around awhile on level ground; then
pnt on little load, and increase it gTadu-
ally, caressing as before, and in short time
you will have good horse that will work
without troubling you.
