Position of the Horses Neck.

THE shape and position Of the horses
neck should be particularly observed by
the person who trains, rides or drives the
horse. 1t is rare to see two horses formed
so exactly alike, that they can bear to have
their heads elevated to the same height,
without painfully interfering with the ac-
ton and power of all parts of the body.
How unseemly and how barbarous is it,
then, for some ignorant trainers, riders and
drivers, to screw up all the horses, no
matter how diversified their shapes, that
unfortunately fall into their hands, to the
same point, for the purpose of giving them
what they are pleased to call graceful
carriage! Do such people ever imagine that
gaceiulness results from a peculiar and
appropriate adaptation of the different
parts of the animal to each other, and
not from partial distortion, such as we
often see exhibited under the influence of
the heavy bit, or that most brutal inven-
ton, the bearing rein? Were it not for its
cruelty, it would be very amusing to OBJ
serve the manner in which some men in
riding or driving prop themselves up, for
the purpose of pulling with might and
main, at the poor animals mouths, in
the foolish hope of being thus able to
keep them from falling, at the same time
that they render them so much more
attractive TO the paSSerS by. Their
| task is certainly very anxious and labori-
Gus one, and, if persevered in, it is sure to
end with broken knees, and perhaps a
broken nose. The horse is placed in such
ali unnatural position, that his entire ac-
ton is interfered with, and he gets such a
habit of leaning on his bit, instead OF
watching for himself, that he is nearly GER
tain of dropping the first moment his gov
ernor forgets the pulling process. A slack
rein, with quick hand, will have far the
best chance for keeping stumbling horse
ON his feet. He will then depend on his
own vigilance and exertion, in the same
way as he would if he were running al
| freedom.
The head and neck of every horse should
be raised just into that position which will
compOrt with the exact balancing of all
the other parts of the same animal. The
poor creature will then be permitted to dc
his work with gracefulness and ease, and
the feelings of the on-looker will not be
harrassed by the compassion which he
must feel for a noble animal that is con,
strained to assume an unnatural and in
tensely painful attitude-Prdirie Farmer;

Weeds as n Green Crop.

WE shall always have weeds. It is i'm
possible to conceive of an agriculture so
perfect that they will no longer exist.
They may be killed in their earliest infan-
cy, but still they will come agin. Nature
abhors naked surface and is fast to clothe
our fields with verdure, even though we
may neglect to plant If it ever becomes
possible for farmers to do everything that
is necessary at the exact moment that it
ought to be done, they may find in this
spontaneous growth a really valuable
source of manure. 1t is proverbial that
nothing grows so luxuriantly as weeds !;
and as no vegetation growing upon the
land can be plowed into it without increas-
ing its fertility, weeds might be tu ned to
good account if we could make sure to
plow them well under before they form
their seeds. Of course such weeds as
propagate themselves by their roots must
be vigorously excluded but all other sorts,
and especially the well-known Ragweed
| (Am0rOSi } which grows luxuriantly and
does not ripen its seeds early, might be de-
pended on for material help.
1t is not unlikely that an important par
of the benefit of summer following is that
at each plowing vegetable matter is mixed
with soil, and it may even be well if there
are no early seeding weeds on the field, to
allow the crop to attain considerable height
before turning it under. We are not, OF
course, advocating the careless neglect OF
weeds, which are the source of more
agricultural woe than almost all else be
sides, but merely limiting at a means by
which judicious and fore-handed mar
may avail himself of the wonderful bene
fits of green manuring without the cost o.
time and money that the raising of buck
wheat and clover demand; and we desire
above all things not to have our suggestion
distorted into an excuse for slovenly farm
ing by men who are too lazy or too incom
petent to keep their land in proper order
IL may be well to remark that we have no
been able to think of any way in which
the tangle of weeds and briers, that orna
ment so many farmers head lands anC
fence-rows, can be turned to use.-Ameri

IT is known that in early life Sam Hous-
ton abandoned just-wedded wife and the
Governorship of Tennessee, and for many
years lived in voluntary exile among the
Indians. The reason of the freak has just
been discovered. He learned within few
hours after his marriage that his wife did
not love him, but had been urged into the
match by an ambitious family while low
ing another man. He at once left the
place, and by his subsequent exile gave the
lady right to the divorce which she OBJ

Left-HandedneSs.

MANY parents try to cure their children
of left-handedness by using severe meas
ures, such as whipping, or obliging the
child to 90 for weeks with the left hand
tied to the body. Some even go so far as
TO make it matter of special shaming and
modification. These should never be tried
until patient trial of pleasanter measures
has failed. Left-handedness certainly pro-
duces an awkward effect, but it is not one
of the cardinal sins. If child can be
taught to write with her right hand, to use
her knife, fork and spoon properly, raise
her glass, and offer the right hand in salu-
tation, it is by no means necessary to cure
her of using the left hand occasionally. In
many cases, to be ambidextrous is invalua-
BILE to women. All needle-work should be
carefully taught with the right hand as
needle holder, but left-handedness should
not be treated as crime to be punished.
The child should be kindly told its disad,
vantages, and shown how awkward it
looks. A pretty coral bracelet of beads
strung on elastic, worn on the right hand
has a marvellous effect on left-handed girls
and is always worth trying.-Hearth ana

the gates of the Lord"
''I am" answered Alexander, proudly,
the conqueror of the earth; why do you
hesitate to open the gates for me?"
"Here," said the voice, mo conqueror is
acknowledged except he who can conquer
his own desires. Art thou fit, 0 Alexan-
der, to enter?'
The great conaueror felt that if admit
tance to Paradise depended upon this law,
he had no chance to effect an entrance.
"Give me-" said Alexander to the voice
which spoke to him, " some token, at least,
so that I may show the world that | have
been to the very gates of Paradise, where,
until now, no mortal was"
A small port-hole was opened, and from
it Alexander received portion of a hui
man skull. "Take this" said the voice
within; a single look upon it may teach
thee more wisdom than thou hast received
from all thy masters and philosophers"
Alexander contemptuously took the gift,
and wended his way to his tent. Throw
ing it down in disgust, he said, 'and this is
the present that is given to the conqueroI
of the world; truly, paltry present from
such a source as Paradise"
'Great King" said sage who was pres
ent, "to me this gift possesses secret
meaning. Pray, put it into one scales and
fill the other up with the finest gold."r
The king ordered it to be done, and 10
the piece of human bone outweighed the
flled-up scale of gold.
"This is a wonder" said the King.
Larger scales were brought, heaps O.
gold were placed in one, and the human
fragment of the skull in the other, yet the
bone outweighed them all.
The sage then ordered the skull to b.
covered with earth, and behold it only
weighed its own specific gravity.
"How remarkable is this" said Alexan
der, can you give me solution'"

Tin Wedding.

Editor Ratland Rerald:-About fifty Of
the neighbors, friends and relatives Of
Mr.. and Mrs. John D. Stanley, assembled
at their residence on Cottage street,
Thursday evening, Dec. Goth, to celebrate
the tenth anniversary Of their marriage.
As the company increased the articles OF
tin ware increased until one table was
completely loaded down. Except from
the popularity of some articles one would
have supposed that neighbor Dunn bad
moved his shop, or ordered his tin peddlers
to unload at Stanleys.
Early in the evening our friend John,
with his usually genial face now all
aglow, was armed and equipped with
conductors badge Of tin, which nearly
covered tall stove pipe hat, real b0e
aoatch with tin case about the size of q
tin pan, and tin chain and key to CORES.
pond, which nearly covered his small per-
son, bosom pin about the size of gents
slipper, masonic emblem, with tin cane
in hand, and his fair intended, made
doubly happy by ten years engagement,
with tin Jewels, etc, were busy receiving
their guests and preparing for the we'd
ding feast. After the company had all as
sembled, and instructions and congratula-
tions completed, the marriage ceremony
was performed by Rev. E. Mills, after
which Tin certificate was read and pre-
sented to the Happy Pair. Twas evident
they were married again. But did the Par
son get the tin. Among the many articles
showing great skill in manufacturing men
Tobacco Box and Pipe. The Box had q
very peculiar spring fastening which was
quite sharp puzzle, but John having
trGge1ed, san tie point and concluded moi
to take any. At 1890 p. m. the conductor
cried all aboard for the Dining Room, and
the old folks took the first carver, while
the young folks waited for the next Train
Several of the passengers were hungry
and rather boisterous to get to their destin'
alton, but most of the cutting and cdTUfn9
was done by DR.. Fox and friend Smith
Conductor John and his assistants were
busy distributing the Fares and getting
ready for the next train, but some of the
passengers came to the conclusion that as
they had strong Holt on that car they
wouldn't leave till the Fox stopped cut
ting up, and the Turkey was Dunn for
if it used up two Weeks.
Such Thanksgiving dinner seldom have seen
Set for banquet by a KING or Queen;
To eat late at night may have been quite sin
But who could have helped it, when paid for IL
Tin?
May John and his bride have pleasures untold,
And weddings of Silver and weddings of Gold.
MAY their skies, bright, ne clouds eyel
dim,
Nor time ever efface their wedding of Tin.

LUDLow.-Agood joke is going around
town at the expense of the Masons and
the Episcopalians. which is to good to
keep in Ludlow. On the programme of
the festival given by the ladies of the St.
Johns Episcopal Church last week, were
the names of some of the ladies of the

of the ladies named, who is also one of the
leading ladies of Ludlow, and said in
Mortified tone: "Be you 'Piscopals ?" 81
knew your husband was Freemason,
but l didn't think you was 'Piscopals I"
