/ The Icelanders have curious custom
and most efIectual one. of preventing
horses from straying. Two gentlemen,
| for instance, are riding together without
| attendants. Wishing to alight for the
purpose of visiting some objects at dis
lance from the road they tie the tail OF
one horse to the head of the other, and
the head of this to the tail of the former.
In this state it is utterly impossible that
they can move either backward or for
ward, one pulling one way, ana the
other the reverse; and, therefore, If dis
posed to move at all, it will be only in IA
circle, aud even then there must be an
agreement to have their heads in the
same direction.
Ifwilted flowers have about half an
inch of their stems cut off, and the stalk
thus trimmed inserted into boiling
water, they will in Il few moments re

The process is most applicable to colored
flowers, as roses, geraniums, &c, white

flowers show the most marked improve-
ment. Another excellent method of
restoring freshness to old flowers is to
place them in water, and cover with a
glass shade. Finely powdered charcoal
placed in the bottom of the water in the
vases, and the stems of flowers inserted
into it, has marked effect in maintain
ing them fresh long time and keeping
the water sweet.
A youngster who had been detected
