From the facility which it removes
grease-spots from fabrics, this sub

as a household indispensable. Bat
few persons, however, realize the1ex-
plOsive character of benzine, or the
dangers attending careless handling Of
the liquid. Being one of the most
volatile and infammable products re-
sulting from the distillation of pstrO-
leum, it vaporizes with great rapidity,
so that the contents Of four four-ounce
vials, if overturned. would render the
air Of moderate size room explosive.
The greatest care should be exercise in
handling this substance in proximity
to fire, and it is important to Iemem-

How Pat Dug the Wen.


Not great while ago an Irishman
was employed in a village where he
was well known to dig well pro bono
pubhco, The contract was made that
he was to be paid certain sum per
foot, and warrant a free supply of
water. At it he went with a good
will, and his daily progress was watch
ed intently by interested parties.
Early and late he delysd down in the
earth, full Of confidence in the speedy
completion of his labors. He had
reached the depth Of about twenty
five feet and soon expected to "strike
water" Early in the morning Pat re-
turned to the scene of his labors, and
horrible to tell, It had cavsd in ana
was nearly full. He gazed with rue
ful visage upon the wreck, ,Iand thought
of the additional labor the accident
would cost him. H CIT
After a moments reflection he gazed
earnestly around and saw no one STIR
ring, then quickly diyesting himself Of
his hat and coat he hung them on the
windlass, and speedily made tracks for
a neighboring emineuce that over
looked the village Here, hid amongst
the underground, he quietly awaited
the progress of events. As the morn
ing wore on, the inhabitants began to
arouse and stir out. Several were at
tracted to the well, thinking that Is
Pats coat and hat were there, he was
below Of course, at work Soon the
alarm was raised that the well had
caved in and Pat was in it. A crowd
was collected and soon stood Mortified
at the fate Of poor Pat. A brief con-
sultation was held, and soon spades
and other implements we're brought to
dig out the remains of the. Snfortunate
man. To work they went with 2 will,
when one set became weary with tlhu-
sual labor, a dozen ready hands grasped
the implements and dug Justify. ,e5
Pat quietly looked on them from his
retreat on the eminense while the
whole village stood around the wen,
and silently watched with breathlesS
suspense the work 60 bravely on. As
the diggers approached the bottom the
excitement Of the ISLANDERS grew IN
tense and they collected as near as
safety would admit, gazing fearfnIly in
to the well. With great care and pre-
caution the dirt was dug away, and
when the bottom was at length reach
ed, no Pat was to be found. The
crowd, before SO anxious, relaxed in
to broad grin, which broke forth in
uproarious merriment when the veneF-
able Pat walked up with smiling
countenance and addressed the crest
fallen diggsrs, who now stood weary
and soiled with their labors Through
the kindly aid of his fellow citizens,
Pat soon finished bis we'll, and it re-
mains among the monuments Of his
genius to this day its8j o1a 29a'

and at the same time, be most costly. he
would reward him acoordingly Several
weeks afterward the cook entered Mark

The Management Of Colts.

Probably American farmers are as sue
cessful as any other farmers IN the raisiree,
Of young horses-that is to say consider
ing the character of the sires and dams,
they bring about as good final results as
attend horse breeding 10 any other country
where breeding is only incidental to farm
work. But there is one item of manage
ment which is either disregarded or i'm
perfectly understood, and that is the early
education Of the colt. Mr.. Rarey has done
much to upset the old-fashioned notion of
breaking horses, and has shown that, by
judicious bending, the necessity for break
ing may be entirely obviated but even
Mr.. Rarey's system confined itself chiefly
to horses which had arrived at an age when
their services could be made Immediately
useful The reason why it is necessary to
apply any strenuous system of training in
bringing colts to their first work is, that
they have to be taught to do that for which
their previous life has in no manner pre-
pared their minds. The first three or four
years of colts life are passed at pasture
or in the stable, and the most that he learns
is to obey the restraints of the halter, and
occasionally, though unfortunately too sell
dom, to ALLOW himself to be cleaned. When
the day of bis usefulness arrives. he is to
be taught his trade in few days or few
weeks; and the bit, the bride, the girth,
the saddle, the hard-pressed collar, all per-
fectly new revelations to him, are to be
crammed down his young throat in the most
remorseless manner; and he is fortunate
colt1f the examining be done with gentle
hand. Too often his simple wonder excites
his masters temper, aid contest ensues,
from the effect of which he never recovers
If every colt could be treated as are, for
example, those of Mr.. Charles Sharpless,
OF Pennsylvania, the result upon the aver
age temper of our harness and saddle
horses would be remarkable, and at least
one-half Of the dangers of horsemanship
would be obviated 1t is Mr. Sharpless
universal custom, while the colt is still run
ming with its dam, even at the age of six
weeks or two months, to follow the handling
and earessing to which it has been accus-
toned almost from the hour of its birth,
by gradual harnessing and playing with
straps, and generally on the third or fourth
day of trial. by hitching to pair of light
wheels, with which the little shaver follows
its dam about the field. The colt learns
these things at this early day as easily as
it would learn anything else, and the e1esson
is never forgotten; so that when the time
of actual Harvesting comes it creates no
surprise, makes no trouble, and gives rise
to no contest.-An,. Agricultwist
