Hanging Back.

HOUSES will be very commonly found
to what Is termed chang back In their
stalls" the moment the stable door Is shut
and they find themselves alone some will
even do this when persons are present
This Is habit that always excites the
greatest Ire on the part Of the groom the
broom handle OF fork usually corrects
this attempt, accompanied by swearing at
the horse, and sundry condemnations of
Gl1odys his eyes, and frequently his limbs
also. We have seen men insane enough
to listen at the door, or watch at a window
till they found the horse had committed
this heinous ain, then rush into the stable,
and chastise him as numerically as unde-
servedly. We might with 40 much justice
punish man because he moved his per-
son to get ease, when we had placed him
In situation that rendered his position
painful but II any man has found that he
can teach the generality of grooms to
think before they act, he has been more
fortunate than we have In this partic'
ular
The whole secret of horse hanging
back Is, that where the stall Is much on
the decline from the manger to the stall
hind post, standing on an inclined plane
causes his loins and hind parts to ache in
tolerably; he hangs back in order, If pos
sible, to get his hind legs beyond the gut
ter, thus diminishing, by many degrees
his standing up hill. In good and wei
laid stables, horses are not found to acquire
this habit 30 the cause of 1t speaks fol
itself, and ought to be Immediately rem
edled. The stall floor should be perfectly
flat from the manger till it comes within I
foot of the grating; 1t should then have
fall to IL of half an inch. BY this, the fou
feet of the horse stand on quito leve
ground. 1t should slope In the same de
gree foot each side of the CRATE, and alsC
foot behind it. This is sure to make tn
wet made by the horse run into the drain
and his hind, as well as his fore legs stant
level. .-Prdirie Farmer.

On Halls and DoOrways.


THE hall Of dwelling gives you the
fret impressions. Sometimes on entering
you fear that by some mistake you have
got into a clothes closet at others you
enter upon a space so small that is only
by q dextrous interchange of civilities be-
tween yourself ard the door that you can
get In or the door be shut. In some halls,
30 called, man sees pair of corkscrew
stairs coming right down upon him, and
fears lest by some jugglery he be seized
and extracted like cork into some upper
space Often the doors are so arranged
that with the shutting of the outside door
and the opening of the inside ones, the
timid stranger stands q chance of being
impaled on the latch, or tapped front and
rear for vigorous springs, attached 10 the
door, work with such nimbleness that one
needs to be expert, or, having opened the
door, before he can dash through, IL will
spring back on him with "now-Tve- got
you" air quite alarming Such houses sci
dow remit their torments here. There Il
an exquisite symmetry in all the interior
adaptations. You finish your visit ant
rise to depart, taking the door most likely
to let you out, and find yourself walking

having acquitted himself well of the las
critical sentences, and executed q half
backward and wholly awkward march to

Ante-MOrtcm Obituaries.

A WRITER. describing the internal econ.
omy of the New York Tribune, has this
about the Biographical Bureau of that
newspaper;
In the bottom drawers of this cabinet
we find a series of carefully written obitu-
aries Of distinguished live men, all ar
ranged alphabetically, and in charge of DIR.
Wood. They are curiosities in their way.
Here is bulky one, as thick and long as
your arm. 1t is marked "Peter Cooper"
Here is a seoond-a Lilliputian roll, small
enough to go into a needle case. We find
this labeled The Life of Walt Whitman"
These obituaries are found valuable when
news Of celebrated persons death is re-
ceived at an early hour in the morning
Thaddeus Stevens died at Washington, at
midnight, yet four column sketch Of his
life appeared in the Tribune of that morn
ing. II had been put in type and was
standing when the news of his death
was received. This was the case with
Buchanan and Martin Van Buren, though
the latter cheated the Office so long that
the type was distributed, and the old man,
with singular perverseness, died within
two days thereafter. This Biographical
Bureau is, indeed, a rare feature.

How to Keep Cider.

To ALL lovers of this excellent and
really healthy beverage, have piece of
useful information to give. Cider, II
taken when first made, brought to boiling
heat and canned, precisely as fruit is can
ned, will keep from year to year without
any change Of taste. Canned up in this
way in the fall, 1t may be kept half
dozen years or longer, as good as when
first made. 1t Ia better that the cider be
settled and poured of from the dregs, and
when brought to boiling heat the scum
that gathers on the surface taken Off; but
the only precaution necessary to the pres
ervation of the cider Is the sealing of 1t
up air tight when boiling hot
Last fall my wife canned several gallons
of sweet clear cider in this way, and it
kept perfectly pure and sweet until open
ed in the spring, so in making the above
statement, az speak what know"
The juices of other fruits can, no doubt,
be preserved in the same way. To all
tastes, not already corrupted by strong
drink, these unfermented juices are very
delicious. The juice of grapes is better
than wine century old, and more healthy,
Churches believing In literal eating and
drinking at the Lords supper, could In
this way avoid the poisonous fermented
spirits, and drink the pure unfermented
juice of the grape, as was doubtless done
by the primitive Christians.-N0rthrostey1

Cure for Hog Cholera.

A WRITER In the Monthly Report of the
Department of Agriculture gives very
simple remedy for hog cholera, which he
says has never failed as a preventive, and
In every Instance wherein from neglect
the disease made its appearance, he suc-
ceeded in curing 1t in few days
Two or more large barrels are procured
and placed conveniently to the kitchen.
Into these deposit all the pot liquor, dish
water, and greasy water of any kind, re-
fuse pieces Of bacon and few buckets full
of soap-suds. Let II stand a few days or
until fermentation begins, then add 10
each barrel one bushel of fine charcoal, a
half bushel of corn meal, one handful of
salt, and halfpound of copperas. Let 1t
stand a short time so that the coal may
become thoroughly saturated with the
liquid, then pour Into troughs made for
the purpose.
One barrel thus prepared, he says, II
given once or twice q week, will be sutfl.

The Great Medical Mistake

OF former days was an utter neglect Of sanitary
precautions. Noeficient means were adopted for
the prevention of sickness. Sewerage was un-
known in cities; drainage was rarely attempted
In the country. Heaps of ofal were left to rot In
the public streets, and domestic cleanliness, the
great antidote to febrile diseases, was sadly neg
lected. 1t is not now. Wise laws, philanthropic
institutions, and vigilant sanitary police, have,
to great extent, remedied the evil. Nor Is this
all. PREVENTIVE MEDICATION has helped mate

Kissing.
BY JosH BuLINas.


HAv written essays on kissing before
this one, and they didn't satisfy me, nor
dew think this one will, for the more a
man undertakes tew tell about kiss the
more he will reduce his ignorance to a
science
Yu kant analize kiss emmy more than
yu kan the breath of -four Yu kant
tell what makes kiss taste so good emmy
more than yu kan peach.
Emmy man who kan set down, WHARF it
is cool, and tell how kiss tastes haint
got emmy moro real flavor tew his meuth
than knot hole haz. Such a phello
wouldn't hesitate tew describe Paradise as
flst rate place for gardin sass.
The only way to describe kiss is tew
take one, and then set down, awl alone,
out ov the draft, and smack yure lips.
If you kant satisfy yuTeself how kiss
tastes without taking another one, how on
arth kan yu define II tew the next man!
hAv heard writers talk about the egs-
tatick bliss thare was in kiss, and shey
really seemed tew think they knew al
about It, but these are the same kind ov
folks who perspire and kry when they
read poetry, and then fall tew writing
some ov their own, and think they have
found out how.

The Great Household Remedy.

In the whole history of medicine there is no
remedy SO universally popular as MISnLER'S
HERB BITTERS. 1t is a mild, generous and eff
cacious preparation, containing no deleterious
ingredients: it is never-failing purifier of the
blood-always stimulating It into healthy action;
and IT removes or obviates all arrangements which
are the first origin of disease in the physical
system. Thus, it is far more reliable medicine
than any other Those who have used 1t know 1t
cured them; those who have not, know 1t cured
their friends and neighbors and what Il does
twill do again, for 1t is adapted to all ages
and conditions, in all climates 1t is constant
safeguard against disease and perfect regulator
of the digestive organs. Sold by all druggists and
