The (haek.RAfn

1t is disputed point whether the use of the
check-rein is useless or of so much inconveni-
ence to the horse as to amount TO cruel inflic-
ton. In considering this question we should
remember that the check-rein is not the same
thing under all circumstances. A high-bred
highly fed and pampered carriage-hOrse under
the control of a check-rein cannot be consider
ed in the same light as a hard-worked and
broken-spirited cart-horse. The one needs the
restraint of the check-rein to bring him under
the complete command without which il would
be unsafe to drive him. The position of the
head is not in this case any source of pain or
inconvenience, for the exertiOns of the horse
are only very slightly taxed to draw the light
carriage and its occupants. On the other hand
a horse taxed to its utmost TO draw heavy loads
over roads where the footing is far from secure
las on the slippery streets OF a citv) is never
found to be tightly refined up as the snowy
horse attached TO the elegant carriage, where
appearance is the great desideratum; and he
has, therefore, a greater command over the
position of his head Horses used for heavy
work, as drawing wagons carts in cities and
pows and harrows on farms, very rarely. ifever
are found hampeEed with check-rein. And il
is in the case of these horses that the greatest
complaints are made. Consequently these COM
plants are TO some extent ill-founded The fact
is, the check-rein, under some circumstances, is
as necessary 20 the control of the horse as the
bit and bride, and the rest of the harness. Ii is
only when hard-worked, heavy-ladcd brute is
too tightly refined up that il becomes hindrance
TO his power OF working; and the owner of such
an animal. If he knows anything at all, would
not permit hin, TO be 80 inconvenienced by il as
TO impair his usefulness.-Hedrth and Home.

A Good Way TO Can Peaches.

The following mode is recommended: Take
large, ripe peaches-not over ripe-haive and
pare neatly and lay on a large meat-dish. To
three-peck basket of fruit allow four pounds of
sifted sugar; sprinkle it over the fruit as YOU
lay ii in the dish; when done set il I'm good cool
place over night the next morning fit each piece,
one by one, nicely in the Jar, draining them
from the juice. When the Jars are all filed put
them close together in q kettle of cold water
putting double towel or something of the kind
under them, in the bottom OF the kettle, to pre-
vent them from cracking, and set over the fire.
Let the water heat gradually till it boils while
you prepare the strip from the juice that has
been formed from the peaches and sugar over
night, then fill up the jars with IL, being careful
to let the bubbles of air escape; they will, by
rising TO the top; If any are in the lower part of
the jar they viii rush up on the insertion OF a
fork.
When all are full begin to seal up, and have
large pan of hot water standing near TO put the
jars in as fast as sealed where they can cool off
gradually. When one has glass jars or bottles,
without tight fitting covers, prepare a cement OF
one pound OF resin TO two pounds Of mutton suet,
melted together and well mixed; have pieces of
strong mpslil cut large enough to tie over the
mouths of the jars or bottles; lay the muslin on
a board and with a spoon spread over a thick
coating OF cement; take up the muslin quickly
before it has time to cool, and put il on the lar
with the cement side downward, pressing il
closely over the sides. Ii the muslin is not very
thick, it is we'll to spread more cement on top OF
the first cover and lay over that second piece OF
muslin, then tie down with Irvine, and finish
with coat of cement over all. That Is a good
way TO use up old jars whose covers have been
broken or lost.

A RACE FOR LIFE.-Though a swamp fire is
not so bad as prairie fire, it is yet formidable
enough, as some Canada gentlemen, who were
laying out the line of a railroad, recently found.
In the prosecution OF their labors they had PEN
etrated the Long swamp, in the first and second
concessions, about half mile, when suddenly
the attention of Mr.. Tate, one OF the party, was
attracted by loud roaring, as of the approach
from whence the sound proceeded, to his horror
he observed fire rushing toward them at a rapid
rate, licking up everything in its way, and fell
ing large trees in every direction. Mr.. Tate
race. AT the start, the fire was fully 300 yards
Off; away rushed the whole party, white men
and Indians, scrambling over logs, through
brush-heaps, tumbling headlong into holes,
hands and tearing clothes, but not word was
spoken, no stopping TO look back, or asking
fer companions in the rear, but each one
struggling to reach the clearing. Owing to
the denseness of the swamp, though every mus
Gle was strained, progress was but as that of a
walk 10 the rapid march of the fire, which every
minute leaped at least two yards nearer its in
tended victims Each roar and crack but urged
them to greater efforts, as each succeeding
sound falling on the ear with greater distinctness
but told them how fast il was gaining upon
them. Blows and bruises were as nothing, could
they but reach the clearing, which, fortunately
they did in safety, but not a moment too soon
for the fire was but ten feet behind them when
they emerged from the woods. Had they de-
layed but a few minutes longer before starting
the probability Is that the sad duty might have
been ours to pen their obituary. The whole
party, about seven in number, were so com
pletely exhausted that they could not have gone
twenty yards further. Mr.. Tate says he can
only account for the rapid march of the fire by
the high wind that was then blowing, and the
food for fire which the swamp contained, it
being very thick with cedars and dead frs, and
the heritage being very dry.-Lindsay (Canqda)

A FAR WESTERN INCIDENT.-As bold a rob-
berry as ever VIC have heard of was perpetrated
on Thursday of last week, near Soap lake. and
about eight miles from GilrOy, by three men two
OF whom were, without doubt, the men who rob
bed MacM ahOn on the San Juan mountain, the
Saturday evening before. At Soap lake they
stopped the Visalia stage about O'Clock i'm the
afternoon, made the driver drive through a gap
they had torn in the fence, and into grove at
the mouth of a canyon, where they blindfoded
him and all his passengers, except young lady
and one gentleman, whom she claimed as her
husband, and who, in Difference to her entrea-
ties, they permitted to keep his place. The others
they tied, blindfoded and striped of all money
and valuables From the supposed husband they
required his money, and he handed them S53, S3
of which they returned, on the representation
of the wife that herself and husband ought to
have enough left them to pay for meals between
there and Nisalia. Her GOODNESS and ingenuity
saved the express box also, for when the stage
was stopped it lay at her feet in sight partially,
but with her foot she drew it back until il was
hidden by her clothes. Besides the stage, a
teamster with load of pickets, single traveller
in a buggy, and boy on horseback were cap
tured and corraled at the same place by them
but the boy having only half a dollar was al
lowed to retain it. The plumber they obtained
tives bound and blindfolded, with the exceptions
named, they rode of, and, turning from the vi
salia road, started up the valley for HOLSTER
a public road. They had not gone far when
they encountered a Mr.. GrOwell within about
200 yards of his house, and relieved him Of $780,
leaving him in frame of mind that led to pur-
suit by him of them nearly to Hollister, and
then into the mountains east of that town.

bands, saddles or cruppers. We prefer short
