An EARTHQUAKE PEEDIcTED. A very gem

tho publication Of the prophecy of a Ger
man astronomer, asserting that on the
10th, nth and 18th of August Of this year
preliminary shocks Of earthquake would be
felt in Peru and Ecudor, to be followed, on
the 2Oth Of September or October by a
movement of the earth in that region, and
along the line of tho Andes mountains
generally, that would be perfectly appalling
in its effects. This prediction, 1t appears,

How Jim Wieker's Head Cot Raid.

Jim Wicker was o comical- looking fell
low, with a very young face, but by reason
of having no hair, he looked very old
from his eyebrows all The way round to the
back of his neck. He was very sensitive
about the defect, and was somewhat cele-
bmted, from a fight he had had with a trav-
cling agriculturist, who, upon being asked
by Jim, "What would cause the hair to
grow upon his shining poll, " was advised
to ''cover the top of his head with guano,
and plant it down in crabgrass." But Jim
wouldn't quarrel with Capt. Wild, for that
gentleman was not only the host of the
Fairy Queen. and also bad the key of all

without hesitation he eulighted his auditor

Training the Horse.

We extract from "Haney's Art OF
Training Animals" the following
sensible and practical instructions in
relation 70 horse tanning and horse
training.
Some few persons imagine that to
possess a proper mastery over their
horses they must maintain their au-
thority by brute force. This is a
great mistake. More work, within
the limit of safety, can be got out of
a horse by Kindness than by cruelty,
and as far as managing a horse is
concerned, the chief point is to teach
him confidence in you. If he belieV es
you to be his friend, he will not only
strive to please you, but will have
less fear of 60 ge objects which
der him refractory.
y horse tanner should be calm, cool
brave and fearless-the horse will
know it; he should be quiet, for then
the horse will be put off his guard
he should be firm and give the brute
no advantage, but crowd him up to
doing something, and that, invaria-
bly,, what the tanner wants HIM to
do. Thus any ordinary horse will
soon give up and own man his mas
ter. The kindeSt treatment, and
even petting, must always follow
Welding; and, if possible to help it,
the horse should never be frightened
by any treatment, and, above all
things, he should never be angered
by petty torture. His own contra-
riness should appear to him 10
be the cause of all his trouble. and
man his best friend. This principle
is at the foundation of Rarey's sue
cessful practice.

How To GROW CHERRY TREES
The American Journal of Horticul-
ture advocates the plan of letting
grass grow around cherry trees after
the second year, and adduces facts 70
prove the superiority of this plan
over that of constsnt cultivation.
They make a more healthy, though
not SO rapid growth, the bark does
not burst open, and the crop OF fruit
is much more certain. This plan
corresponds with the experience OF
many in raising pears. 1t Is hardly
possible to cultivate ANIMALS too
highly, but some perennlals may be
killed with kindness.
4 BOTTLE of arnica should be in
every family. 1t is recommended by
physicians, and is truly useful
medicine; il is one of the few medi-
cines that meet requirements de-
manded of them: you may rely upon
il. 1t is used in cases of bruises,
swellings, and deep sores. Nothing
i its equal in sprained joints and in
broken limbs. Simply wash the
narts affected. Dentists highly re-
it. 1t Is applied for the
outside, on the face, and
ON the gums. 1t will relieve the
main and subdue the swelling. 1t
will not cure toothache; the forceps
slone will do that where the case is

The Sack of Pearls.

A traveller missed his way, and
lost himself in a desert. Nearly
famished with hunger and thirst, he
reached at Length a shady palm tree
and fresh fountain. Near the
fountain he saw a small bag lying on
the ground. "Thanks to God ~ said
the man as he lifted the little bag
'these are perhaps peas, which will
keep me from starving. Eagerly he
opened the bag, and said, "Alas
alas they are only pearls ~
Worth more than gold or pearls. you see,
The little loaf that feedeth thee"
Though he had now a bag of pearls
worth several thousand pounds, he
was still in danger of starvation
But he prayed earnestly to God TO,
help, and presently there came hast
lily on his camel, a Moor, who had
lost the bag of pearls. He had com
passion on the starving man, gave
him bread and refreshing fruit, and
took him along on his camel.
'Behold ~ said the Moor, chow
wonderfully God d;sposes all things
regarded it as misfortune to have
lost the pearls, but God permitted il
that | might return again and save :
