The WORLDS IngratItude.

A BIe serpent fell into a.cave and cried
piteously. A farmer came to the entrance
TO know what was the matter, when the
snake begged him to help her out. 40,
nop said the man, mo good can come
from serving bad creatures. ] might
nourish q snake in my bosom" But The
snake entreats, and she promises the
farmer the best reward the world is In the
habit of giving. Malice, cunning and
rich promises befool even the wise; the
farmer helps the bad, treacherous serpent
out of the hole, and then, as his reward,
she prepares to drown him. "Have de-
served that of theeq Does that agree
with thy promissY" asked the farmer.
"I am double-tongued," replied the snake.
That's the way the world rewards He
whom you rave from the gailows general
ly brings you to it." The farmer is con-
founded, and the snake further says, !" AS
thou wilt not believe me, let US appeal to
the next two we meet, and abide by their
decision, no matter whom of US it may
benefit or hurt"
Soon an old horse comes along they
submit the case to him. He says: eff
teen years have l served carman to-
morrow he will turn me over to the
knacker. That's the worlds reward"
Likewise, speaks the old dog, to whom
they next appeal: "I have for ten years
assisted my master in hunting and catch
ing foxes and hares; now he has directed
the gamekeeper to hang me to willow
tree. That's the worlds reward" The
farmer is losing hope, when fox comes
trotting along. To him the farmer ap.

Care Of Horses Legs.

FEW men who handle horses, says the
RUrdJ World, give proper attention TO
the feet and legs. Especially Is this the
case on the farms. Much time is spent OF
a morning rubbing, brushing, and smooth
ing the hair of the sides and hips, but at
no time are the feet examined and prop
erly cared for. Now, be it known that in
this 6 600 year-old world of ours the feet
need more care than the body. They need
ten times as much-for in one respect they
are almost the entire horse. all the
grooming that can be done won't avail
anything if the borse is forced to stand
where his feet will be filthy. In this case
the feet will become disordered, and then
the legs will get badly out of fix, and with
bad feet and bad legs there is not much
else of the horse fit for anything. Stable
prisons generally are terribly severe on
the feet and legs of horses, and unless
these buildings can afford dry room
where horse can walk around, lie down
or roll over, they arc not half 80 healthy
and comfortable to the horse as the pas
ture, and should be avoided by all goot
hostlers in the country.

What a Kitchen Should Be.

l WOULD have kitchen well lighted I;
some, yes, great deal of the broad, ex
psnsive sunlight coming in boldly, as if
1t had perfect right to be there. That
would, OF course, necessitate large win
dows. And, then, would give as much
attention To the ventilation of kitchen
as would TO sleeping room. I would
have a large, circular device suspended
over the cooking stove, with hole in the
center, and tubo leading TO the top OF
the house, TO carry off the savory smells
which the process of cooking generates,
and prevent them from permeating the
house.
Then, l would have large sink, with
a permanent soapstone or marble wash
bowl for washing the dishes, and another
for draining. l wonli also have an ad-
Unstable tank leading from the hot water
tank to either of these basins. Besides
Thu, sundry cupboards and closets ar
ranged on the wall, 80 as to be tasteful and
decorative, Us well as convenient.
Then space devoted to tiny drawers,
such as one sees in drug store, and
labeled in this manner: Soda, allspice,
nutmegs, cream of tartar, etc, 80 that at
a single glance could discover Just what
WANTED, without rummagingto find these
things in some out.of The way corner,
placed there by some untidy person. Cook
ing is becoming so complicated nowadays
that one needs all the arrangements, and
as many utensils as chemical laboratory.

Paying Interest.

ABOUT paying interest on money,
Henry Ward Beeeher discourses as fol.
lows:
"No blister draws sharper than the in
terest does OF all industries, none is
comparable to that Of interest. II works

foul, 1t makes no Loise, but travels fast.
1t gnaws at a mans substance with invisi-

as fly is bound in spiders web. Debts

and foot and letting him hang upon the
fatal mesh until the long legged interest
deyours him. There iG but one thing ON

thistle, which swafms new plants every
time you break its roots, whose blossoms
are prolific, and every flower the father of

Fall Flowing.

WE cannot urge to strongly the impor.
tance Of fall ploWing of land that is to be
planted or sown with grain next spring.
In hard, strong soils, there Is little danger
of breaking it up too finely for grain, and
if hoed crops are to be put upon il next
spring, the afser cultivation will be very
much lessened by deep and thorough
blowing this fall. We know of more
than one boy who formed his first resolu-.
ton to leave the farm when of age, while
he was hoeing rough, once-plowed field,
that might have been greatly improved
by being turned over tho previous au-
tumn and again in the spring. Newly
cleared land cannot be worked over too
often before IL is occupied with crop.
Working among stumps, stones, and roots
isnpt easy or agreeable labor, but it is far
better and cheaper to employ oxen or
horses in killing grass, weeds, and roots,
than to do it with q hoe, and especially
among growing corn or potatoes Where
there are none of the incumbrancea we
have named, and the land has been under
cultivation, then it should be plowed Ia
the fell for the purpose of killing weeds
and insects, and giving the air and frosts
of winter an opportunity Of acting upon
the soil which Is turned up from the bot
tom of the turrow.-He1TM and Home.

Political Fact and Fiction.

ANY one would suppose, from reading
Democratic platforms and journals, and
listening to Democratic harAngues, that
the American Republic and people were
fastening to speedy and hopeless ruin, on
account of Republican control of public
affairs. Their platforms, their editorials,
and their haraDgues ought all to be
headed with the common ejaculation;
"LRT Us WERPp
Every one who will but reflect q mo
ment knows that herein we do not ex.
aggerate at all. Croak, croak, croak, is
the hOsrse and eternal song OF the Democ-
racy. So that q stranger who by reason
OF some isolation had not heard of the
affairs OF our country for the past ten
years, would conclude, on becoming &C.
qualnted with Democratic assertions upon
the subject, that no people ever were so
bad of in respect to their material inter
eats, as the people Of these United States.
Now all this ls imagination. 1t is polit.
cal fiction Of the poorest quality. Yellow
back stupidity is classical in comparison.
For any one has only to open his eyes and
look about, to see that it is all humbug
and falsehood. When the Republican
party, by the voice Of the people, was So
lected to carry on our national affairs, the
country had not yet recovered from the
most disastrous financial crisis that ever
buried the business Of whole nation in
ruins. The collapse of inuumerable wild
Cat banks-the fruits of Democratic poll.
cy--had brought all business to a stop in
1857. More Of these banks continued TO
collapse up to 1860, and prostration was
the rule. Everybody was in debt. Every
body was embarrassed. The grass grew
in the principal streets Of many previous.
lY thriving cities. Thousands Of families
in the Northwest lived on nothing but
boiled corn for months at time. Men
who owned large farms hardly had money
enough to buy their salt and pay their
taxes.
Such was the general situation at the
time the Republican party came into
power. What is the situation now9 Let
the grand facts Of the census tell. Though
for nearly half the decade the country
was in the midst of devastating war,
yet we find now that our cities, and towns,
and villages have nearly all grown with
notable rapidity. We ind that the coun-
try has, in proportion, outgroWn the
cities. We find the farmers almost uni
Versally prosperous, and out OF debt We
hnd our national wealth increased by
hundreds of millions. We find trade and
commerce prospering as rarely ever be-
iore, and We have assurances of renewed
prosperity herein through the operation
OF tinauclal reforms inaugurated and car
ried out by the Republicans. The plain
truth OF history is that, whereas the Re
publican party came into power, finding
the people PROSTATE under nnancial EN-,
it now finds the Republic
in every section, aud moving
on TO a still greater prosperity, by means
OF which, there can be no doubt, the

Boys and Smoking.

THE French people carry the practice
OF smoking to a degree of perfection
which constitutes it almost q fine art. The
men smoke, the women smoke, and the
boys smoke. Whether the girls and babies
smoke, We do not know, but they have 80
few OF them that il does not perhaps make
much difference whether they DO or not.
The effect OF smoking on boys is said by
an old medical writer, who has been in.
vestigating the subject, 10 be most favor
able to the development, not of a manly,
noble, healthy Character, but of pallor,
anemis, palpitation Of the heart, dimin-
mutton of the normal ground of red
globules, dyspepsia, want of intelliger ce,
and liking, more or less decided, for
strong drink.
This information must be decidedly
gratifying TO the savaus of science who
have SO often proved tobacco to be SO
wholesome narcotic. Added to former
evidence, it will make an argument so
strong that even that enthusiastic Iaborer
against its use, George Trask, will per-
haps see the folly of doing any more, and
give up his work of distributing tracts
broadcast to induce boys to let tobacco
alone. or course they will not let it
alone. It's effect on French boys is in
contestible. What better evidence do
they want that they can use it? And
then, again, this same authority has no.
ticed very strong objection to breaking
off He says: Those who abandon the
pactice before any organic LESSONS are pro.
ducsd perfectly recover their health"
This is unfortunate. Why should boys
wish TO be so unlike other people as to
be hesithyY If they are sickly they can
be petted and pampered, escape work, and
die and go out Of this naughty world
early. But seriously, why do boys ever
smoke? Because the example is set them
by their elders. They are the most per-
feet imitators in the world. They like to
try their hand at what they see others
doing. Set them q good example and
they will follow it Set them bad one
and they will follow that, too.-Herald d
