WORKING FOR A PENNY A DAY.
When in our boyhood we read in the
Bible about the men working in the
vineyard for penny day, we remem-
Der that it seemed like very small wages
indeed. But let US see about this. In
those days penny was about as large
as fifteen Of our cents, and as none,
was some ten times as valuable as now,
the penny day vas as good as $50 Of
our cents, so that those men got as
much as the best men now generally have
in harvest time, that is, dollar and
half day. So also when that good
Samaritan gavs two pence to the land
lord to take care Of tho man who fell
among thieves, it was equivalent to
about So, which would probably pay
his board two weeks in some country
tavern, where board was very chcsp.

Mr.. Rarey'S Equine Philosophy.

y
is both aphilosopher and philanthro-
pist in his views and his system. His
aim in his efforts to subduc vicious
horses has nobler purpose than the
mere exhibition Of his powers for the
wonderful admiration Of the crowd
He desires to show the efficacy of kind
ness as we'll as frmness in the treatment
of this noble animal, and thereby to
enforce practical humanity to the brute
creation in tae place Of brutal punish
ments and physical torture.
The venerable DR.. Mott, who has
had great experience as teacher in
the training of refractory boys, was so
pleased with Rarey's exhibition that he
requested ar interview. On comparing
notes, the Doctor came to the conclu-
sion that Rarey's treatment Of refrac-
tory horses was in principle identically
the same as he had pursued for many
years with ref. actory boys. The Rarey
horse philosophy applied to human colts
is graphically set forth in the following
conversation between the celebrated
trainers
II have been twice to see you per-
form, Mr.. Rarey," said the Doctor,
"and this has bcgotton in me desire
to see you and compare notes. l have
been a trainer of boys for more than
half century, and boys that have
proven ungovelnable in other hands
have readily yielded to mile. Now,
do you know that your bearing to-
wards refractory boys 2"
II am much pleased to think, sir, y
was the rejoinder, ''thst such is the
; case. In training the horse use nc
other punishment taan restraint. As
soon as you know the horses mind
and the hcrse comprehends you, the
instinct Of obedience leads him to de-
? your bidding"
"That is just my view of boys
said the Doctor.
"And," resumed Mr.. Rarey, 81 an
z, satisfied that in even the worst hers
the instinct Of obedience is stronge
than that of the reverse. The noble
the disposition of the horse the fierce
aud the briefer is his resistance. Tn
worst subjects arc those in whom re
sistance is logged and Stubborn

eyes, sir. With such dispositions

70 "That is cardinal point in my sys
