CARE OFHORSES.

All horses must not feed in the same
proportions, without regard to their
ages, their constitutions, and their
work; the improperly Of such prac-
tice is se!f-evident; yet is constantly
done, and is the basis of disease of every
kind.
Never use bad hay on account of It's
cheapness, because there is no proper
nOurishment in it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly iniuri-
Gus, because it brings on inflammation
of the bowels and skin diseases.
Chaff is better for old horses than hay,
because they can chew and digest it bet
ter.
Nix chaff with corn or beans, and do
not give the latter alone, because ii
makes the horse chew his food more
and digest it better.
Hay or grass alone will not support a
horse under hard work, because there
is not sufficient nutritive body in either.
When a horse is worked hard its food
should be chiefly oats-if not worked
hard its food should be chiefly hay-be-
cause oats supply more nourishment
and fesh-mazing material than any
other kind of food hay not so much.

FRUIT RAISING.

Cultivation Of the ground, after the
setting of the trees, is of great impor-
lance An orchard well cultivated and
MANFRED viii do as much better than
one neglected, as field of corn well
cultivated viii surpass another which Is
entirely neglected g Whatever. is
worth doing at all is worth doing well. -
Therefore, if it is worth while to plant
an orchard, it viii be found most profit
able to carefully cultivate it afterwards.
Many young trees have been trans
planted and not the least after-attentiOn
given to them. The grass and weeds
are permitted to grow about them and
rob them of sunlight, air and nourish-
ment. If any have survived such treat
ment land many have,) it is a very en-
cOuruging circumstance and proves how
well adapted our soil and climate are
for the successful production of the
apple.
For the first few years after planting
of the trees such crops as require the
frequent and deep stirring of the soil
Autty De cultivated. AFTER UnG trees get
large, so as to shade the ground and
commence bearing, the soil should be
stirred but a few inches in depth near
the trunk Of the tree and as far as the
limbs extend mulching should be suffi-
eient TO prevent growth of grass and
weeds. The stirring Of the soil and
top dressing may be continued with
profit as long as the orchard continues
fruitful. Or, the space between the
trees, not occupied by the muIching.
after 1t becomes difficult to work a
team among the trees, may be laid down
to grass and sheep pastured in the or
chard, as some very good orchardists
recommend; or which we think pre-
ferable, the mulehing may be extended
so as to cover the whole surface Of the
ground.
The best manure to be used in the
orchard IS a compost of muck and
ashes, and which should be freely used.

bow and cloud come over us with a
beauty that is not of earth, and then

faded loneliness Why Is it that stars,
which hold their festivals around the
midnight throne, are set above the grasp
of our limited faculties-forever mock

And why is it that the bright forms of
human beauty are presented to our view

thousand currents of our affection to

NOW.

If 1 were to give you a motto to go
through life with one that would stand
you for warming and counsel in any
strait in which you might find your
selves, would give it in this one word,
Now"
Don't waste your time and your
strength, and your opportunities, by al
ways meaning to do something-dO 1t!
Only weakness comes of indecision.
Why, some people have so accustomed
themselves to this way of dwadIing
along from one thing to another, that it
really seems impossible for them to
sqnarely make up their minds to any
thing. They never quite know what
they mean to do next, their only plea
sure seems to consist in putting things
off as long as possible, and then drag
cling slowly through them, rather than
begin anything else.
Don't live single hour of your life
without doing exactly what is to be
done in it, and going straight through
it from beginning to end. Work, play,
Il
and finish it up squarely and clearly,
and then to the next thing without let
ting any moments drop out between. 1t
is wonderful to see how many hours
these prompt people contrive to make
of day; its as if they picked up the
moments that the dawdlers lost. And
if you ever find yourself where you
have so many things pressing that you
hardly know how to begin, let me tel
you a secret; take hold of the very first
one that comes to hand, and you will
find the rest all fall into file and follow
after like company of well-driIled sol
diers; and though work may be hard to
meet when it charges in a squad, it is
easily vanquished when brought into
line. You may have often seen the an
ecdote of the man who was asked how
he accomplished so much in his life.
''My father taught me, - was the reply,
"when / had anything to do, to go and
40 ftl' There is the secret-the magic
word "Now."

4 Talk About Tonics.

The object Of a tonic is 10 increase the elasticity

these ends, it is expected 10 improve the appetite

certainly important considerations; but TO cure

LISTEN.

Do you wish to do something towards
making your home happy? Do you de-
sire that your brothers and sisters
should be glad to have you with them,
and that you should always be vel
come companion to your parents or your
children? Do you want to have your
society coveted everywhere, and to feel
the while, that yon are doing good as
well as giving pleasure? Would you
like to help people to think well, and to
have them save their best thoughts for
you? World it please you to get all
the good you can out of the people you
know?
If so, learn to listen.
But first learn what listening is-for
it is not merely the exercise of hearing.
The stupidest of us all can keep ears
open and mouth shut. To listen prop
erly means to make other people talk
properly. That is a social definition, if
it is not a Websterian one. The good
listener is a cause of talking in others,
and by proper exercise of this valu-
able and too scarce gift, makes the diff
dent say what they think, and the yer
bose think what they say. For the
greatest takers are careful when they
find they have good a listener. They
know that they may not often be so for
tunate, and they talk their best. The
adept in listening may sometimes hear
more pressing than he likes, but if he be
! sEilIful this viii not often happen.
| When it is impossible to get anything
/ interesting or useful out of a man, he
need be listened to no longer. Every
one of sense viii agree to that. But it
is astonishing how many good things
some very unpromising persons viii say
if they be properly and conscientiously
listened to.
To be sure it is very hard for some
persons to listen. They have a gift for
talking, and they like to exercise it.
But these are the very persons who
should do a great deal of listening.
They know what a luxury it is to talk,
and they should give their families and
friends a chance to learn the art. Sc
sides, like farmers, they viii often find
much advantage in a rotation of crops.
A season of listening is often a most ex-
cellent preparative for a season of talk.
It is often supposed that if man has
a good thing to say, he Will say it, but
this is not necessarily the case. Very
often he never says it, because no one
viii give him chance He don't want
to waste his speech on fools, and the
smart folks want him to content himself
with hearing what they have to say
This happens-not in connection with
very good things perhaps, but with
things that might lead to very good
things-every day and every hour, IL
thousands of families, all over the land
to say nothing of society.
There are those who so seldom have
a chance to speak to interested ears
that they gradually withdraw them
selves into themselves, where, not gen
orally finding much, they intellectually
pine away.
To be sure, We should not fail to be
come good takers, if we can; but, dt
what we may, we can only make on,
tall1er of ourselves, whereas, by prope
listening, we may make a dozen taIker
of other people.-Scribner's.

MIRIAM CLAIRE.
BY FLoY H. SEWARD.

The winds, sweeping on in their morning flow,

And forms that were lost in the long ago
Come to me now through the scented air;
But oh, the dearest that wapders to me
From the dim aisles of the years agone-
The CLEAN Of her beautiful hair you zee.
As shadows creep to me, one by one
You would say it was the sunshine's dying glow
know, full well, tits her amber hair,
And perhaps you think her whisperings low
Are but sighings of the perfumed air.
know she will come with the twilight gray
They say she IL in her messy tomb,
But her form is never from me away,
When shadows it softly through my room.
All, Miriam Claire with thy golden hair,
And thy lovelit eyes with their azure CLEAN!
hear the low sweep Of thy garments rare,
And know tits no shade fevered dream;
For music is thrilling upon the air,
Swept from the harps of that Unseen Land,
And soon shall meet thee, Miriam Claire,

Ladies have horror of those black
enemies on the face called moles.
Even homely men dislike them. but
there they ordinarily remain as guides
in giving a description of an applicant
for passport.
A mole is a thickening of the epider-
mis-, or outer skin, probably induced by
an obstruction in the outward ends of
acluster ofsudorifc ducts or sweet-tubes
To be clear of them readily, run fine
needle through one of them from one
side to the other.
Let an. assistant take hold of both
ends of the needle and pull so as to
make neck of clear skin at the base
It Is neither painful nor difficult and at
tended with hardly a tinge of blood.
Next igate that neck behind the out
dragged mole with delicate, strong, wax
ed silk thread that cuts Offthe circulation;
clip away the unused thread and await
the result A slight local inflammation
ensues which is the gluing together the
new surfaces of the stitched skin.
In a few days the old offence drops
off, deprived of nutrition, leaving no
scar If little reddish by the remains
of a subsiding inflammation, wash the spot
occasionally with cold water Proceed
to the next, and the next, seriatim. Be-
fore aware of it, any mole disfigured
face may become as good as new.

WOOD MAY be rendered nearly as en-
pable of resisting fire as brick or ston q,
without great labor or expense, by soak
ing the dried lumber a short time in a
solution of soluble glass, a silicate OF
soda or potash, and afterwards miners
ing it in lime water, by which the pores
of the wood are filled with a si1icate of
lime. This substance is fire-proof, and
cannot be dissolved in water, and its
presence and effect in the fibre of the
wood are therefore permanent. Soluble
glass Is readily obtained, being already
largely used in this country. This is
not patented.

A FIXED FACT IN PHARMACY-COn
sidering the multitude of diseases, it is
amazing that we live. In view of the
countless remedies for them, it is won
derful that we die. Unfortunately,
however, all the diseases are realities ;
whereas most of the remedies are
humbugs. One exception to the latter
rule demands the recognition and APP
proval of the press. We refer to DIR.
Joseph Walkers Vinegar Bitters. OF
the doctor himself, we know nothing
but of his medicine we can speak from
observation, for it seems to have found
its way into almost every household.
Probably it is more extensively used in
this country, as a family remedy, than
any other preparation, although it has
not yet been before the world three years.
Wherever we go we hear of it, and
whenever we hear of it the comments
on its efficacy are enthusiastic. We
have questioned sufferers from liver
complaint, remittent fever, fever and
ague, chronic headache, vertigo, irreg-
ularities of the bowels, indigestion,
rheumatism, neuralgia, govt, kidney
diseases, and affections of the lungs, as
to its effects, and the uniform answer
has been, 1T has done me good" Be
ieviBg that ''what everybody says must
be true, we have no hesitation in adj
hitting that Vinegar Bitters is the great
medical success of the present century.

WHAT BURIED HERCULANEUM2

What was the fate of Herculaneum
during the eruption Of A d. 70 ? What
special phenomena were displayed on
the side of VesuviUs? What causes
buried a fourishing city in an instant
out of sight of the inhabited world? 1t
has been proved that POmpeii suffered
an interment so incomplete that, after a
few days, its inhabitants could recOg-
nize their dwellings, could encamp
above and clear them out. Hercula-
neum,, on the contrary, was buried so
deep that the next day it was impossi-
BILE to trace a vestige of it.
The ready answer to all these ques-
tons usually is, Lava worked all
the ruin. Herculaneum was swallowed
up under eighty feet of lava If works
of art, bronzes and pictures have been
miraculously preserved, it was due to
the impenetrable shield of lava, yield
ing only TO a cutting tool, that protect
ed them from the ravage of time. This
explanation is tempting. Fancy pic
lures waves of fire rolling upon the
city rising like the tidal swell, surging
in through doors and windows, sweep
ing around and moulding everything,
then slowly cooling, and preserving for
posterity treasures that labor must I'M
veil, repaid by their recovery in IN
harmed beauty.
This is really the opinion that all Eu-
rope holds, and even at Naples almost
all visitors of Herculaneum declare
that they have touched the lava with
their own hands; and, in books written
on the Vesuvian cities, more than one
traveller affirms as positively that the
difficulty of cutting the lava presents
the chief obstacle to the disbursement
of Herculaneum. How can one ven
ture to meet such convictions by assert
ing that water not fire. overwhelmed
HerculaneUm that it was not torrent
of glowing lava, but a food of mud and
wet ashes that filed the city How up
root a prepossession so deep that the
works of biologists and Swans have
failed to shake? Dufrenov proved that
water alone swept over Herculaneum
heaps of scoria and prumice, crumbled
from La Soma; Dyer, Overlook, Ernst,
Breton and others, have affirmed in
various languages, to no purpose, that
nothing but ashes, wet to paste and
hardened by pressure, covered over
Herculaneum; no one needed them,
and the blame continues to be thrown
on the lava, which make excavations so
costly and labOriOus
