that the bost way cure disease not to render the
patient too weak to contend with it, Within the last
twenty years. however, the whole system OF medical

A Trick Horse.

A correspondent who interviewed the
proprietor of trick horse, says:
"There," said Mr.. Harrison, pointing
to him with pride. 81 raised him my
self from the time he was foaled; he's
rising nine, now, and just as good an
animal as he ever was He cost me 5000
at first, but l wouldn't take $4,000 for
him no, nor three times that. Come
here, Charley" The horse came up
to him, and stood looking at me with his
head over his masters shoulder.
els he a trick horse ?"
eyes; but l don't often use him for
that He can walk on his hind legs, and
dance, and drink out of bottle; but
that's always empty. usually do only
the Arab and his dying steed.'"
How did you train him ?"
by kindness-thats the only way
to be sure. OF course you can make
any animal obey by Gathering him
enough but then some time when you
amt looking out he'll play you an ugly
trick-baulk when you're jumping to
let you tumble ON the ground, or rear
and fall backwards on you. They're
cunning about that sort of thing. I've
seen splendidly educated horse come
into the ring and just stand still, not do
a single trick, and seem to enjoy seeing
his master hooted at.
edo you never punish him ?"
Certainly; but l always do it so
that he understands what I'm whipping
him for When he's done wrong, he
knows just as well as [ do, and knows he
must take the consequences. But L
havn't lifted the whip against him for
more than two years"
"What is the method of educating
animals ?"
"Well, with different animals there's
different ways. With horses and dogs
you show 'cm first what you want done,
and show 'em often enough for them to
understand it. Then / lift them around
and put them through the motions. At
ter several times they find out what you
want done and do it themselves. Then
l reward them on the spot It's all easy );
you've only to keep your temper and be
kind. Very often it is necessary in the
beginning to fog an animal soundly,
but that's to let him know who is mas
ter, Some horses learn very quickly,
but that kind forget just as soon. l like
best a slow horse, because he'll re-
member longer"
"Have they good memories ?"
"You can teach horse for q year,
and then if you turn him out to grass
for few months he'll forget all he's
learned except the simplest things and
two or three words of command. These
they will never forget | think their
minds are not bic enough to hold much.

A CHINESE MILITARY EXAMINATION
I remember seeing in Canton military
examination. A deep trench was dug
in a circle, and two targets were placed
at equal distances from the centre. The
competitor mounted very slow pony,
who trotted around the trench the rider
then approached the target, and, when
close, put the arrow against it, pulled
the bow, and of course each time placed
the arrow successfully in the target,
Three times did he perform this won.
drous feat and then, kneeling at the
Governors feet, was dubbed an officer.
1t was so ridiculous | could hardly be.
Level to be true. A number of English
schoolboys transported to the spot would
have died of laughter.

RAINING FIsH.-It seems recently to
have rained fish in Scotland. A Scotch
paper says that an unusually large num-
Der of behring's were lately observed
swimming near the shore in Granton
harbor. Their presence was attributed
to heavy sea driven shoreward by a
strong easterly wind. Next, however,
great quantities were found washed on
the beach and the harbor bulwark, where
they attracted hocks Of sea birds and
crows Finally, hundreds of these small
herrings were found lying on the roads
near the coast. One gentleman found
several in his garden, The phenomenon
is attributed to q waterspout which &C.
CURED just previously, and is supposed
to have lifted the fish from the sea high
into the air, whence they were conveyed
to the land by the easterly wind which
prevailed at the time.
