Bathing Horses.

A correspondent says he washes sweated
horses in cold water with beneficial results,
both in summer and winter After wash
ing, the animal should be rubbed dry, as far
as practicable, and the legs especially.
Should the hair on them be too long to admit
of this being sufficiently done. flannel band
ages should be put on, and woolen rug
thrown loosely over, but without the roller
In the course of an hour the horse VIII De
tolerably dry, and should then have another
rub down, and be clothed in the ordinary
manner. IF horses were treated in more
rational manner than is often the case, with
pure air and scrupulous cleanliness, disease
would be far less common.
What more refreshing to man after
hard day shooting, or other laborious exer-
else, than warm or cold bath? And be
leve it to be so to the horse. To the tired
hunter a warm foot bath and fermentation,
if the animal is sufficiently quiet, is most re-
freshing Some years ago visited the roy
al stables at Buckingham Palace. There,
as | was lnformed-and at the time witnessed
the operation, every horse, summer and win
ter, was washed from head to foot with cold
water, after returning from work, no matter
whether it had been out one hour or six.
After the ablution, scraping, ,scrubbing, etc,
a kind of web cloth was thrown over to ad-
init of evaporation, and the horse was after
ward rubbed down and clothed as usual, in
the course Of an hour or two. | consider
the plan rational and conducive to the health
of the horse, if only ordinary care is taken.

The CurcnliO-An Important Dis.
cOyery.

WE learn from an extra of the st. Jo-
seph (AIich.) Herald, of the 10th inst, that
Hon. John Whittlesey, Mr.. Ransom, and
other leading fruIt-growers of that fruit
region, have just discovered way by
which curcullo may be destroyed IN al
most unlimited numbers. The Herald
states that on the morning of the 10th
INST. MIR. Whittlesey called at that office,
and stated that on the 14th inst he killed
2,715 curculiO about the roots of 200 trees,
and on the 18th, in four hours, on the
same trees, he killed $50. Mr.. Whittle-
sey also stated that Mr.. Ransom, Mr..
Bonelle and himself, in five hours, had
killed upward of 5000, in "a portion of
three small orchards. The manner of
doing the work is as follows: Put the
orchard in the best order; level down the
soil about the root OF every peach tree,
and smooth a circle for diameter of two
and da-half feet from the tree as "a centre.
Have the ground very clean around the
base of the tree. Do not leave single
hole close to the tree. Leave no place
where the curculio can hide, except under
the shelter you provide for them. Then
put close to the tree, and close to the
grOund-abOet four pieces to the tree
either chip, a piece of bark, or board, or
lath, or rag, or corn cob, or old leather, or
anything else, for a covert. The curculio
will conceal themselves under this shelter,
and may be destroyed by thousands. Go
around every day, turn over each chip.
and kill every curculiO They will gen
orally adhere to the chip; but may often
be found on the ground under the chip.
Mr.. William B. Ransom has made the
curculio and its habits study for many
years. Last year, when hunting for the
little turks, he discovered that they all
dropped within two or three feet OF the
trunk of the peach tree, and sheltered
themselves on the trunk, i'll the holes
near the base, and the underside Of the
principal limbs
Some idea of the quantity of CurculiO
which will gather on single tree may be
understood from the following facts: Mr.
Ransom says that on the Nth he took p,
on the 18th, 60, and on the 10th, go. OF
this number, Al were taken in cluster un
der chip. two by three inches. He gives
the following facts in regard to the habits
of the curculiO In the fall they seek a
warm and safe shelter to hibernate. This
is either the ground, or leaves, stumps,
logs, old fences, woods, and other con-
genial places of concealment. The first
warm day in spring that starts vegetable
life calls the curculiO forth, and it pro-
ceeds to its feeding and breeding ground.
They walk very fast, and then fly and feed
generally at night, eating the young and
tender leaves. They crawl on cold days
and nights, and hide under the shelter of
the trunk of the tree, waiting to feed when
the nights become sufficiently warm. The
curculio uses the green peach only to hold
its egg. 1t sometimes eats the ripe peach,
also blackberries, ounces and other fruits.

brush.
"There, that'll do; my shoes don't
look very bright No matter; who
cares?"
"Wha'ever is worth doing, is worth
loing WELL" replied a serious but pleasant
voice.
Harry started and turned around to see
who spoke 1t was his father. Harry
blushed. His father said L." Harry. my
boy. your boots look wretched Pick up
your brush and make them shine. When
how look as they should, come into the
library.
y s., pa" replied Harry, pouting; and
taking up the brush in no very good hu-
nor. he brushed the duh boots until they
shone nicely. When the boots were poi
shed, he went to his father, who said to
him:
MY son, want to tell you short
story. I once knew a poor hoy whose
mother taught him the proverb, What
ever is worth doing, is worth doing we'll
That boy went to he servant in gen
lemans family. He took pains to do
everything well no matter how trivial 1t
seemed. His employer was pleased, and
took him into his shop. He did his work
well there. When he swept out the snOp,
ne did that well. When he was sent on
an errand he went quickly, and did his
work faithfully. When he was told TO
make ont bill or enter an account, he
did that well.
This pleased his employer, so that he
advanced him step by step, until he be-
came clerk, than a partner, and now
rich man, and anxious that his son Harry
should learn to practice the rule which
made him prosper"
"Whv, pa, were you poor boy once'"
asked Harry.

Harry never forgot the conversation.
Whenever he felt like sighting bit OF
work, he thought oft, and felt spurred to

A Suggestion for Schools.

THEY have delightful custom in the
Swiss schools for boys, which might be
adopted with great advantage to all con-
cerned in this country. During the weeks
of the summer vacation. it is the habit OF
the teachers to make with their pupils,
what are called COydges en- ziqzng /. e.,
pedestrian tours among the sublime noun
tains and charming valleys of that land
of beauty and grandeur" Squads of little
fellows in their blouses, with their tough
boots drawn on, and knapsacks on their
back, may be met, during the season, on
all the highways, and sometimes in the re-
motest passes of the Alps, as chirrupy as
the birds on the bougbs, and as light and
bounding as the chamOis who leap from
crag to crag. They are perfect
pictures of health and happiness, and the
treasures of fine sights that they lay up in
their memories, during these perambula-
tons, it would be difficult to describe.
We know of more than one urchin that
has scaled the SUBMITS of the FaulhOrn,
looked down from the precipices OF the
Bevent, walked over the frozen ocean OF
the glaciers, and gazed in rapture upon the
sunsets on the Jungfrau or Mont Blanc
Their tramps are made without danger
and without much expense, and the life is
one of incessant enjoyment and rapture

UARrER's Bdzar, treating of the effect
of simplicity, in the midst of elaborate
and expensive artifices, says:
Let young women with no hair but her
own, and that simply dressed, enter a
room with those whose heads are elabor-
ately built up with profusion of pur-
chased locks, and see who will be most
admired. Ii is great advantage for "a
woman, in these days of artitice, to re-
main herself, and thus be unlike every
one else A simple dress, white or black,

for the former, and women are often

expense, for no other purpose than to

SOME twelve years ago a well.knOwn
member of the Milwaukee bar, upon open
ing his mail one day, found ten dollar
bill in letter. The letter was not sign
ed, and said simply that the money right
fully belonged to the lawyer, and he must
use it as his own and ask no questions
The lawyer did so. Next year about the
same time, another letter, with another
ten dollar bill and the same request, came;
and every year since that time similar
letter, with a similar bill, has reached the
lawyer Naturally he has felt some
anxiety to know who the donor is. but all
his attempts failed, and until few days
ago, he was in ignorance. At that time
letter came with ten dollars and an ex
plonatlon 1t seems that over twelve
years ago the sender was in the city; got
into trouble, and could get nobody to de-
fend him because he had no money. The
lawyer in question learned of the case,
felt interested in it, defended the man, and
got him clear. His bill would have been
$40, and the client was so grateful that
every year he has sent as present the
amount of the fee
