Homemade HOrse.POwers.

The cheapest and best way to make q
horsepower for dairy and other light
use, is to put light drum on center
post, high enough to have the belt clear
the horses head. Attach a sweep ten
or twelve feet long to the center post,
80 that the track in which the horse
walks will be from twenty to twenty
four feet in diameter, if possible. Let
the track be soft ground. The whole
arrangementmay be made of white pine,
except the sweep, which should be hard
wood. Let the drum be about ten feet
in diameter, and six inches face. Use q
two-inch rubber belt. Make a small
pulley from four inches to foot in dl-
ameter, according as you want fast OF
slow motion. If you want the motion
still faster, gear up with second belt
and set of pulleys. The direction OF
motion may be changed by q quarter
twist in the same belt, or by passing the
first belt over idler pulleys.
This arrangement will be almost
noiseless, while the clatter and jar OF q
circular platform would be enough to
drive q nervous or sensitive person al,
most crazy. Besides, it is much easier
and safer to teach horse to follow q
circular path than to keep his balance
on revolving platform.-Cor. Country

A Summer Slide Down Hill.

ANY one desirous of sliding down
hill in the summer time, says Mime
apolis paper, may crafty that desire
at the falls by scoot down the apron.
How nicely it can be done was illustrat-
ed by a couple Of tourists, without any
"guide," and also by their driver;
These gentlemen were much Interested
in all they saw about the falls, and es-
pecially in the torrent of water shooting
over st. Anthony's best apron. 10 OBJ
tain better view they yentured out up
on the dam extending from the plat
form. About an inch of water runs
over this dam, shoots down the
apron with great velocity for the dis
tance of $50 feet, until it strikes the
timber-bed running out level for twenty
or thirty feet, and then dashes into a
regular whirlpool that froths and foams
among the rocks. Unfortunately for
the tourists the coffer-dam was thickly
coated with a green, Shiny substance,
making one of the most slippery foun-
dations imaginable and in less time
than it takes to tell it, their feet were
gone," and a couple of dark streaks
were Visible as they went down the
shiny apron like special telegram:
Spectators feared they would be dashed
upon the rocks and instantly killed,
but, luckily, they managed to stop
themselves on the timber-bed before
spoken of, and were promptly rescued.
They were looking subjects, how
ever, covered as they were by the de.
posit wiped up from the dam and
apron, and were wearing Of the green"
in the fullest sense of the word. Their
driver subsequently attempted to re;
cover an estry hat. from the dam, and
lacking apron-strings, he, too, indullged
in an unexpected trip down the inclined
plane, was ished up, sponged, and the
parties started for st. Paul, feeling that
it was not good for them to be here.

Do Not Sc0ld.

Parents are apt to forgetthat children
dread reproof, and frequently scold
them unnecessarily. What matter if all
their daily behavior is not quite pleas
ant or perfect, if they show improve
ment and progress? Sow good seed,
anxious parent, cultivate with care, but
wait patiently for harvest, il you wish
good fruit. Suppose child does not
sit as straight as a ramrod at table; sup
pose a cup or tumbler does slip through
it's little finger, the food below deluged,
the goblet smashed, and the table:cloth
ruined-do not look cross, and break
out with reproof of what was unintend,
ed as if it were a willful wrong. Did
YOU never let glass slip through your
fingers? Instead of sending the child
away in anger, or with threatening
words, why not be as generous as to a
guest, to whom you would kindly say,
"It is of no consequence" 1t is gener-
ally wise to take little notice OF mishaps
or bad behavior at the time, and even
to divert attention ON them at the IN
slant. Afterward, at some appropriate
time, draw the child's attention to the
impropriety, fault, or lack OF suitable
care, and point out kindly the remedy

A Curious Story.

Says the Sandy Hill Herald: Lent
F. Harris died at Patterns Mills, in this
town, on the 18th inst, at the advanced
age of seventy-six years. He was born
and lived here-all his life, and for the
last fifteen years had been an invalid,
and during all that time was nursed by
his wife. Mr.. Harris was the second
husband to this lady. Her first was
Rev. William Rider, who was well known
to many of our older citizens, and he,
too, for fifteen years preceding his de-
mise, was an invalid, and in like man
ner was cared for night and day by his
wife--the present Mrs. Harris; 30 that
for thirty years Of her life she has
nursed the sick night and day, winter
and summer. Rider, in his early days,
was "hard case," but very trifing
incident changed the whole course OF his
life. One day witnessing baptism IN
the Halfway Brook, when he was q
Young man, he scoffed at the ceremony,
and said it was call humbug." A
friend corrected him, and told him it
was practiced as long as christianity ex-
listed, and had the best scriptural au-
thority besides. He was incredulous,
but cutting off o willow twig with his
pocket-knife, remarked
"Iu plant this sapling in the sand,
on the island yonder, and if it grows,
then will I believe in baptismj ifitdont,
then it's all a humbug."
The branch was anxiously watched by
the scoffer, day by day, and to his as
tonishment it did grow, and finally be-
came q vigorous tree. Rider was as
good as his word. He was converted,
and to show his sincerity was baptized
in the same stream, and at the identical
spot where the above incident occurred.
A few years later he entered the minis
try, and was an effective worker in the
good cause.

Charming.

Mr.. John B. Lewis, one of the most
reliable citizens Of Allensville, and pro.
prietor of o hotel at that place, wit
messed few days ago the following
case of snake charming: He heard q
squirrel chattering in an unusual man
ner, and crept stealthily to the place,
where he saw a squirrel running up and
down tree. A large black snake was
lying at the root of the tree with its
mouth open, but perfectly motionless;
The squirrel would run to the top OF
the tree each time, and each time in
coming down would come nearer the
snake, ,untilit deliberately put its head
into the snakes mouth, and the snake
commenced swallowing it. At this
juncture Mr.. Lewis killed the snake
and set the squirrel at iberty.-Boso'

Twilight.

When through the paling sunset tints
Tho evening-star swings clear and white,
listen DER the hills for her
Who brings to me my one delight.
Down the far western slope she comes,
All slow and nun-like, draped in gray;
Her thoughtful brow, her steadfast eyes,
Press bac! ::o crowding cares Of day.
More calm than hopeless winters clouds
More sad than autumns gray cold haze
But full Of strength as angels eyes,
She rolls the stone from buried days.
She lays her fingers on mine eyes,
And breathes her magic in mine ear,
And then see, or seem to sec
And know not if dream or hear.
But all tho dear lost shadows pass;
Their eyes reproach me that stay;
Like dying winds at fall of night,
Their voices win my soul away.
The sunshine of the fair dead days
Cleans family through their misty hair,
And the pale. awful smile Of death
Replaces that they loved to wear.
The scents. the hues, Of vanished springs,
The sun-bright blooms of summertime,
And autumns fullness live again,
And sparkles hoar Decembers rime.
The fields wave greenly Gown the slope,
And children chase the lambs at play,
And, shouting, count the daisy cups
Among the shining ricks Of hay.
And eyes of love light all the earth,
Like some intensest glance Of God,
And youth and faith, and hope and truth,
And all the pleasant ways we trod.
They live they live One little hour
Renews the joys of perished years:
The wordless, slow professions pass,
And leave me to my silent tears.
