early and prepared breakfast By the light OF a
tailow candle. The aoglers Rare seated at the
table in q dark corner Of the kitchen, while the
old lady was engaged over sizzling frying pan
on the stove. "How's this steak, T., tough,

stuff - continued he. Wiping the sweat from
his forehead, he made another effort to masti-
cate the mouthful, then shouted: my good
woman, will you be kind enough to see why
this steak is SO very tough?' The pleasant
faced old lady appeared with her candle, wiped
the moisture from her spectacles, and looking
at the plate, dropped the tallow candle into the
LAWYERS lap, and shouted, with horror .'Great

How to Treat a Horse.
Correspondence of New York Commercial Advertis,

Correspondence of New York Commercial Advertiser
August &c. lT5r y
Some English grooms at Saratoga are
teaching the yankees" how to take care
of horse. .--
To-day I asked one of these grooms, who
has spent twenty years in the stables of
royalty, what he had to say about our
American way of taking care of horse.
"Why, sir" said he,. "you don't take
good care of your horses you think you
do, but you don't"
"Why ?" asked.
Because, when horse comes in all wet
with perspiration, you let him stand in the
stable and dry with all the dirt on. In
England we take the horse as he comes in
from the drive and sprinkle blood-warm
water all over him, from his head to his
feet. Then we scrape him down and blan-
ket him, rubbing his legs and face dry.
Thus, in an hour he is clean and dry, and
ready to take good feed, while with your
way he will stand and swelter for hours,
and finally dry, sticky and dirty. Our
horses never founder and never take cold.
We never use currycomb. You scratch
your horses too hard. The only care nee
essary is to have the water not very cold,
then battle them quick and blanket them
instantly, while you are rubbing their legs.

To KEEP WORMS FROM DRIED FRUIT.
Place your fruit in steamer over a pot
of boiling water, covered tightly. When
thoroughly heated, tie them Immediately
in a clean linen or cotton bag, and hang
them up. This method is preferable to
heating in an oven, as that is apt to render
them hard, even if you are SO fortunate as
not to burn them
