ARABIAN HORSES.

No Arab dreams of tying up a horse by the
neck tether replaces the halter, and one OF
the animals hind legs is encircled about the
pastern with light iron ring, furnished with
a paddock and connected with an iron chain
two feet or thereabouts in length, ending in
rope which is fastened in the ground at some
distance by an iron peg such is the customa-
ry method. But should the animal be rest
less and troublesome, a foreleg is put under
similar treatment. 1t is we'll known that
horses in Arabia are much less frequently vi
cious or refractory than in Europe, and this
is the reason why geldings are here so rare,
though not unknown. No particular preju-
dice that could discover exists against the
operation itself, only it is seldom performed
because not otherwise necessary, and tending
of course, to diminish the value of the animal
But to return to the horses now before u.s.
Never had l seen or imagined such colec-
ton. Their stature was indeed somewhat low

teen hands-fourteen appeared to be about

in the letter or spirit of the unifcahon reso-
lutions, which contemplate any interference
or dictation in the private social relations OF
the people. These lie entirely outside the do
main Of legislation and politics. 1t would
not be denied that, in travelling and at places
of public resort, we often share these privi.

gamblers and others who have worse sins to
answer for than the accident of color; but no
one ever supposed that we thereby assenteI to
the social equality of those people. l, there
fore, say, that participation in these public
privileges involves no question of social equal

privileges, neither whites nor blacks assert or
assent to, social equality, either with each
other, or even between individuals Of the same

adopting them. But it is very clear TO my
mind that the strength of State consists in
the harmonious, cordial, contented union Of
ali the good men in the community in honest
efforts for the improvement and progress Of
the whole. 1t is equally clear that strife, dis
cord, disunion and distracted efforts and pur-
suits will produce nothing but weakness and
disappointment. The base, selfish, unscrupu-
lous and mercenary, always profit from confu-
sion, disorder and the disintegration of socie-

For THE LAST TEME.-There is touch of
pathos about doing even the simplest thing
"for the last time" 1t is not alone kissing
the lips of the dead that gives you this strange
pain. You feel it when you look your last
upon some scene which you have loved-when
you stand in some quiet city street, where you
know that you will never stand again. The
actor plays his part for the last time, the
singer whose voice is cracked hopelessly, and
who after this once will never stand again be-
fore the sea of upturned faces, disputing the
plaudits with fresher voices and fairer forms,
the minister who has preached his last SER
mon-these all know the hidden bitterness of
the two words "never again" How they
come to us on birthdays as we grow older.
Never again young always nearer to the
very last-the end which is universal, the
"last thing" which shall follow all things and
turn them, let us hope, from pain to joy.
We put away our boyish toys with an old
heartache. We were too old to walk any
longer on stilts-too tall to play marbles on
the sidewalk. Yet there was pang when
we thought we had played with our merry
group for the last time, and lfes serious,
grown up work was waiting for us. Now we
do not want the lost toys back. Life has
other and larger play things for us. May it
not be that these, too, shall seem in the light
of some far-of' day as the boyish games seems
to our manhood, and we shall learn that death
is but the opening of agate into the new land
of promise?

THE WORKERS OF THE UNITED STATES.

The Scientific american has been investiga-
ting the census returns, with a view of ascer-
tanning the number of working people in the
United States and their specific pursuits.
The results of This investigation show that we
have 12,5O5,S23 workers out Of total popu-
lation of 3S,558,371, of which 1860 ,436
are males, and 1883, ,4S7 females. The num-
ber of females industriously employed is prob
ably much greater than those figures indicate,
many women and girls being put down in the
census tables as having no occupation who
are constantly engaged in domestic or house
hold duties. If these returns were correct
they would indicate that only about one-third
of our people have regular industrial pur-
suit. Making reasonable addition for fe-
male workers, the industrial classes may, per-
hapa, number one.half the entire population.
Attention is called to the fact that the accu-
racy Of the census returns, however, has been
seriously questioned by the Massachusetts
Bureau of Labor Statistics" which finds gross
discrepancies in the census returns for that
State the number of workers in the table Of
occupations being four times as great as the
number of the table of manufacturers, where
as in a manufacturing community that differ
ence should be comparatively small. We
must, therefore, have more reliable returns
than those at present furnished before we can
correctly judge of that division of labor by
which the material wants of the American
people are supplied. The great army of
people devoted to agricultural pursuits is re-
turned by the census, and in this respect it
undoubtedly makes reasonable approach to
correctness. The number given is 5,992,471;
the number engaged in manufacturing, min
ing and mechanical pursuits is set down at
3,707 ,421, while those who are not rendering
personal and professional services are stated
at 2,7S4,793, leaving 1,119,22S engaged in
trade, traffic and transportation. Among the
trades, carpenters take the lead, next come in
regular order, tailors, miners and blacksmiths; /;
then milliners, masons, painters, machinists,
saw mill tenders, butchers, cabinet makers,
millers, printers, harness makers, timers,
cigar makers, bakers and fishermen. Of sail
ors there are 56,064 of canamen, 1888; of
steamboatmen, 1915. There arc 62,3S2 ply
sicians, 43,S47 clergymen, 40,736 lawyers,
and 136,O66 teachers. Hotels and rcstau-
rants require J4,170 attendants, and livery
stables $4,000. The office holders number
67,912; BARRIERS, 23,953; professional musi-
clans, 9,519; journalists, 5,2S6; army and
navy officers, 1926. OF the entire working
force, 9,S02,03S were born in this country,

KEROSENE AND ITS ABUsE.-1n view of
the many accidents resulting either through
carelessness or ignorance, in the use of kero-
sene, we give the following rules and sugges-
tions as furnished by correspondent of the
Savannah Advertiser
1. Do not buy kerosene below the govern
ment standard, which is ITO degrees
g. Do not use wick that is too narrow for
the burner.
8. Never turn down the burning wick when
you want to extinguish the light, but blow it
out without disturbing the wick, blowing d.
agonally into the top Of the chimney, or use
palm leaf fan at arms length.
4. Do not use your lamp as night-lamp
by turning down the wick to lessen the fame
The reasons for the foregoing rules are:
l. The government has fixed the standard
at which Kerosene may be sold at 10 degrees;
because there is danger of its vaporising in an
ordinary lamp if it is below that standard
The inducement to sell it below that standard
is, that it can be produced for less money.
2. There are four sizes of fiat wick burners
in general use, their numbers are O, A, Band
D, or Mammoth. The wicks measure three
eights, fve-eighths, one, and one and q half
inches, respectively. This measurement may
not be mathematically exact, but it is the size
given to them by the manufacturers, and is
near enough for all practical purposes. If
you use wick that is too small space is left
between the edge Of the wick and the wick
tube, which serves as a passage way for the
flame to communicate with the oil in the
lamp.
3. The nearer lamp is to being empty the
greater the necessity of observing rule 3, be.
cause the nearer lamp is to being empty the
more room there is for vapor, and if the burn
ing wick is turned down, ever 80 slightly, the
danger is increased of communicating the
flame to any gas that ght have been formed
in the lamp, while if the fame is blovn out
without disturbing the 1uick the crust that has
formed on the top of the wick efectually closes
any little opening between the wick and tube,
thus preventing the communication of the
fame to the gas when you blow down the
chimney.
4. All kerosene burners are made to pro.
duce perfect combustion as prerequisite for
good light. If the wick is turned down to
lessen the fame materially, the combustion is
not perfect, and the burner becomes overhead
ed, which communicates heat to the lamp,
causing the air to vaporize more rapidly than
it can be consumed by reason of the imperfect
combustion, and (under certain circumstan.
ces) causing the lamp to explode. ,
Iflamps that are intended for Illuminating
purposes are used as night lamps by turning
down the flame to lessen the size of it, a smo.
ky atmosphere is produced that is positively
injurious.
Ifthese rules are followed, accidents result
ing from exploding kerosene lamps, will be
far less numerous, and the end will have been
attained for which this article was written.

we'll twisted with sinew; a neat, round hoot,
just the requisite for hard ground; the tail set
on, or rather thrown out at a perfect arch !;
coat, smooth, shining and light, the name long,
but not overgrown nor heavy, and air and

especially esteemed for great speed and en-
durance of fatigue indeed, in this latter quail
ity none come up to them.

JEFFERSON,S SECRETARY OF WAR.

Henry Dearborn, of Maine, whom Mr..
Jefferson appointed Secretary Of War, had
been veritable hero of romance. In 1775,
he was village doctor. For three years, the
sign of Dr. Dearborn had hung out in ham,
let of New Hampshire, when a horseman on
painting steed brought the news of the bat
tie Of Lexington. Before the sun had set
that day, the young doctor, splendid with the
glow of perfect health and the elastic grace of
twenty.tour, led sixty men toward Cambridge,
sixty-6ve miles distant, which he reached soon
after sunrise on the day following. At Bun
ker Hill, he was captain; but as there was
nothing to do there but to load and fire, he
took musket, and made one of his company,
loading and firing with the rest as long as
they had anything to put into their guns.
He went with Arnolds thousand men on that
march through all untrodden wilderness to
join Montgomery in an attack upon Quebec.
The wonder was, that man of them escaped
starvation. Captain Dearborn had with him
magnificent dog, the favorite of all the COM
pany, and to himself most dear; but he could
not resist the entreaties Of starving comrades,
and gave him up, at length, to some soldiers,
who took the dog to their quarters, and divi-
ded his flesh, with fine Yankee selfcontrol,
among the men who could least help them
selves, who were nearest perishing. "They
ate every part of him." wrote his master, "not
excepting his entrails and, after finishing
their meal, they collected the bones and car
ried them to be pounded up, and to make
broth for another meal" The only other dog
attached to the expedition, small one, had
been privatey killed and eeaten before Men
sacrificed their "old breeches" made of moose
hide; boiled them long, and then cut them
into slices, and broiled them on the Goals. A
BARRIERS powder-bag was made into soup at
last. It excited the wonder of the doctor
captain to see men keep up with their colnpa-
ny until they were so near exhaustion that
they would breathe their last, four or FIVE
minutes after sitting down. Dearborn him
self gave out at length, and lay in a hut for
ten days at the point of death. But he raj
lied, trudged after the army, and went to the
assault at the head of his command.
In this spirit and in this manner, Henry
Dearborn served till the surrender of Corn
wallis, which he witnessed. On Gen. Wash
ington's staff as quartermaster.general,h he ac-
quired that familiarity with military business
which made him at home in the office in which
Mr.. Jefferson placed him. President Wash
ington had appointed him marshal ofthe dis
trict Of Maine, and the people had elected him
twice to the House of Representatives. He
was large, handsome man, of erect, graceful
military bearing; striking figure in the cir.
cles ofthe city that was rising in the primeval
wilderness. He was, perhaps, the only public
man in the country who united all the quail
ties desirable for his post; being soldier,
Republican, a man of science, and man Of
business.-James Parton in July atlantic.

DON'T Box THE CH1LDREN's EARs.-Chil.
dren's ears ought never to be boxed. We have
seen that the passage Of the ear is closed by a
thin membrane, especially adapted to be in
fuenced by every impulse of the air, and with
nothing but the air to support it internally.
What, then, can be more likely to injure this
membrane than sudden and forcible COM
preston of the air in front of it? Ifany one
designed to break or overstretch the men,
brane, he could scarcely devise more effec-
tive means than to bring the hand suddenly
and forcibly down upon the pass sye Of the
ear, thus driving the air violently before it,
with no possibility for it to escape but by the
membrane giving way. And far too often it
does give way, especially if from any previous
disease it has been weakened. Many children
are made deaf by boxes on the ear in this
way. Nor is this the only way if there is one
thing which does the nerve Of hearing more
harm than almost any other, it is sudden jar
or shock. Children and grown persons alike
may be entirely deafened by falls or heavy
blows upon the head land boxing the ears, pro-
duces similar effect, though more slowly and
in less degree. 1t tends to dull the sensibility
of the nerve, if it does not hurt the membrane.
knew pitiful case once Of a poor youth who
died from a terrible disease of the ear. He
had had discharge from it since he was
child. Of course his hearing had been dull;
and what happened was that his father had
often boxed his ear for inattention Most
likely that boxing on the ear, diseased as it
was, had much to do with his dying. And
this brings me to the second point: Children
should never be blamed for being inattentive
until it has been found out whether they are
not little deaf This is easily done by pla-
cling them at a few yards distance, and trying
whether they can understand what is said to
them in q low tone of voice. Each ear should
be tried while the other is stopped by the fn-
ger. do not say that children are never
guilty of inattention, especially to that which
they do not particularly wish to hear; but l
do say that very many children are blamed
and punished for inattention when they really
do not hear. And there is nothing at once
more cruel and more hurtful to the character
of children than to be found fault with for
what is really their misfortune. Three things
should be remembered here: l. That slight
degrees of deafness, often lasting only for
time, are very common among children, espe-
cially during or after colds. 2. That slight
deafness, which does not prevent q person
from hearing when he is expecting to be spo.
ken to, will make him very dull to what he is
not expecting; and, 8. That there is kind
Of deafness in which person can hear pretty
we'll while listening, but is really very hard
of hearing when not listening.-Dr. Hinton in

CANNED FRUITS AND NEGETABLEs.-All
fruits contain more or less of vegetable acids,
and others that are highly corrosive arc often
formed by fermentation, and the metallic YES
sells are considerably acted upon. Tin cans
are held together by solder, an alloy into
which lead enters largely. This metal is ca
silly corrodel by vegetable acids, and poison
Gus salts are formed. Undoubtedly many
persons are greatly injured by eating fruits,
put up in cans, and we advise all who con-
template putting up fruits this season to use
only glass jars for the purpose.

LAYING BY CoEN.-More or less Of this
will be done during the present month. In
case corn has had proper cultivation, and the
land is clean and in good tilth, it may receive
its last plowing when in the "bunch.' 1t is
we'll to throw some dirt to the plants, that the
"spur roots" may be we'll buried in the soil.
These roots play very important part in the
final development Of the plant penetrating
the soil to considerable depths, and sending
immense quantities of fbrous roots to act as
feeders. Late, deep and close plowngs injure
many of these, and do great harm.
