"Stonehenge," in his work on the
horse, in relation to the care of riding
and driving horses, says:
Without regular exercise, no horse
can long be kept in health and l be.
lieve that, as far as this point is con.
cerned, even those which are hard.
worked would be the better for half an
hours airing every morning after they
have been fed, and before they are
dressed. But those masters who are
particular about the mouths Of the an.
imals they ride or drive find that the
hands of their grooms are generally so
heavy that they spoil the delicate ''feel"
on which the comfort Of riding and
driving so much depends. Hence, in
such cases, the poor horse is condemn.
ed to confinement in his stable, not only
on the day when he is to be ridden or
driven, but on those also when he is to
be idle.
The health OF the body is sacrificed
to the maint enance of the delicate con.
dition of the mouth, which is so highly
priced by good horsemen and accom-
plished whips; and confess that
plead guilty to having, 70 r n long series
of years, acted upon this principle.

Often persons receive an accidental
blow er fall, from whence dscolora.
tion Of the skin is apt to ensue. To
prevent this, take little dry starch OF
arrowroot F.; merely moisten it with cold
water, and lay it on the injured part.
This must be done Immediately, SO as
to prevent the action of the air upon
the skin. However, it may be effect.
ually applied some hours after. Raw
neat is not always at hand, and some
children have an insurmountable re.
pugnance to having it applied. These
applications are not always Of certain
effect. There is no remedy for black
eye but bathing in hot water, which is
often very tedious, but if Immediately
applied it is sure remedy or proven
tive.

The plan of allowing figs to run in a
large open manure yard, and tread straw
i.to manure, answers better for young
or growing pigs than for those that are
fattening. Neither is it inconsistent
with the best modern methods of max.
ing and preserving manure for while
there is not better understood fact in
physiology than that animals must be
kept still and quiet during the process of
fattening, and must have heir milling
instincts restrained, yet with animals
which are young and growing, a very
different course must be adopted. If
much confined they will get misshapen
and ricketty, will lose the bloom of
health and vigor, and remain small in
size and tender in constitution. Exer.
else is as necessary for them as it is for
horses, and the manure heap in the
yard will be benefited by their roofing.
The odd corn will be picked up, and the
fern enting mass will form warm and
healthy bed, highly suited to the som.
nolent habits Of tho pig in winter

How to Bore Holes in Glass.

Any hard steel tool will cut glass with
great facility when kept freeley wet with
camphor dissolved in turpentine. A
drill may be used or even the hand
alone. A hole may be readily enlarged
by round file. The ragged edges of
glass may also be thus smoothed with a
fiat file. Flat window glass can be read.

aid of this solution. In'short, the most

Make Home Attractive.

There is one thing would be glad to
see more parents understand, namely,
that when they spend money judicious.
ly, to improve and adorn the house, and
the grounds around it, they are in effect
paying their children premium to stay
at home, as much as possible, to enjoy
it; but that when they spend money
unnecessary in fine clothing and jewel.
ry for tn ee children, they are paying
them a premium to spend their time
away from home, that is, in those places
where they can attract the most atten.
tioh and make the most display.

Freaks of Fortune and Old Age.

Years ago Noah Thorp Pike, poor
Fairfield, Conn.,, tailor, went to New
York to seek his fortune. A short time
after his arrival in the city he entered
lottery office in Broadway with his little
two.year old daughter in his arms
While he stood talking with the lottery
proprietor, the little girl picked up a
ticket which was lying on the counter,
and putting it in her mouth began TO
chew it. The lottery man took the
ticket from the child and told Mr.. Pike
that he must buy the ticket now, as it
was unstable. Mr.. P. reluctantly pur.
chased the ticket for dollar and half,
and in a few days he received check
for 1850, as the result Of his lottery
venture. In time he became rich, and
at the time of his death, last June, at
y years ofage, he was worth half mil.
lion.
He had several children besides the
lucky daughter, who had married a
Presbyterian clergyman. Old age
brought querulous disposition, and he
got into strange habits after the death
of his wife. He was particularly abusive
to one of his sons, in whose family he
lived, so much so that the son left
home, and the old man, it is said, tried
to ALLEVIATE his wife from him. In this
he did not succeed, and after some
months the son returned, convinced
that his father was not responsible for
his acts.
The lucky daughters reverend hus.
band persuaded the old man that he
was morally bound to leave his lucky
wife, the innocent cause of the lottery
venture and the fortune that flowed
from it, an amount equal to $4,000, at
compound interest for thirty years.
