Many farmers do not appear to think or
care about the comfort of their horses; they
will imprisOn them at nights in The stable
on hard floor, and even tie aropc around
their neck, and feed them on dry corn
every meal all summer, with salt once a
week. Reader Just think Of this matter
for a moment. Suppose you we're to work
for me this season, aud | should set before
you currbread, meat and coffee every meal
without change aud without salt; would
you not think kept poor boarding

lIEDoES The selection Of the proper
kind of plants for hedging, is an item
ofgreat importance, aud much money and
valuable time is annually lost for the want
Of proper knowledge Of the habits Of the
various plants used for the purpose.
The plants which are available for com.
mon farm hedges, are 0sage orange, white
thorn, buck thorn and honey locust: As
q universal hedge for all attitudes, it would
seem as if the Osago orange succeeded
best; next in 7alue come the buck thorn
and honey locust. The main objection to
the latter seems that it requires more trim.
ming to make good hedge than with eth
or of the other. Near Elizabeth, New
Jersey, there is honey locust hedge one
mile long, which many consider to be the
finest hedge they have ever seen, II has
been subjected to annual pruning, and is
now forty years old, and is said to be per.
feet in all respects.
We have not had any practicalczporicncc
with any kind but the Usage orange, and
even yet we are doubtful whether It's use
as hedge is any more economical than

NEw REMEDY FoR RHEUMATISM Some
English authority has discovered our
exchanges tell us-that diet of aspara.
gus is sure cure for slight cases of rheu.
matism, and will greatly mitigate the
pain Of even severe cases. We do not
wish for an attack of rheumatism, lat We
can easily stand any reasonable amount of
such medicine.
The same authority states that the boiled
stems0f the Jerusalem mtichokc will an.
swer the same pupose, and that tea made
from the leaves is sure cure, though not
so agreeable as the asparagus or young
stems of the artichoke.
Buttcrmilk is also prescribed for dys.
pcpsia and common indigestion, 1t is
claimed that from their diet Of oat meal and
buttermiIk, tho Welsh peasants, know
nothing Of either dyspepsia or Indigestion.
We wonder if work IN the open air aud a
good appetite has anything to do with their
exemption from these evils?
The taste for bnttcrmilk is an acquired
one, but when once acquired seems never
to be lost again, if we are to judge iron,

tried to catch the girl who was dancing
around, but she evaded himdh the most
skilfnl manner, continually talking to
him, laughing heartily, but in man
ner that would make the flesh creep.
The other girl paid no attention to him,
but kept continually crawling from one
object to another, and biting them all
as she passed. Its a popularity with
these afflicted cheWers that as soon as
one of them says 81 want the spell
is broken. In fact, the doctor finally
caught the little girl, when she said,
.sDon' t touch me; letme alone. WANT
and that breaking the spell, shet
ed color as white as driven snow, and
both burst out crying and retired to

vailed upon to say another word. As
a rule, woman begins to grow excited
as soon as she says 81 want" particu-

times; but here is case in which she
no sooner finds she wants something
than she grows calm.

An Arab Tradition.

A writer in the Overland Moathly
relates the following:
NThis tradition which I tell you"
said Refs Hassan, is many centuries
old. 1t states that there was in Para
disc a temple built up of precious
stones. Man dare not utter its splen-
dors. Deep in the midst Of Eden it
stood, angel bult-a dazzling sanctua-
ry. Our fore-parents sang their Tes-
per songs in the twilight shadows of
its courts; for there were pillared halls
cloisters of emerald and pearl, where
fountains sprang aloft in the silent
noon; and long, luminous vistas, where,
hand in hand, these lovers. walked In
sinless beauty. Then there were sspin-
nacles and domes of sapphire" blazing
in the sunlight by day and glittering
in the starlight by night. From court
and terrace, waters welled out, and the
iriscressed cascades fell down to cool
shady dellsof asphodel below for the
temple was placed far within the pri-
vacies of that valley of Eden whence
the rivers flowed eastward. However
sad to relate, upon the day Adam fell,
this glorious temple was scattered into
a million of fragments, and soWn broad
cast over the earth, these fragments we
now light npon; and gather them up
with cost and care, and call them rtI-

went out on just such fruitless errand
last night, and on his return signifed
his intention of taking bath before
retiring. He refused to comply with
his wife's suggestion to light a lamp,
and went around and filled his bath
tub and fell over two rocking chairs,
an ottoman, aclothes-basket, flower
stand, and some other things not ne
cessary to mention, while he hunted
for his sponge. He found it at last
and began to bathe.

The following appeared in the New
York Evening Post, June 18th:
We all know that mechanical inven-
tions are the popularity of our age, and
have much to do with producing and
distributing our most important COM
modities, while they promote the edu-
cation of our people by taking the heav-
lest burdens from their hands, and by
securing time and means for instruc-
ton. 1t is proper, therefore, to hold our
inventors in honor and to present them
and their inventions to the public eye
in fitting monuments.
It has occurred to a number of our
citizens that suitable monument
should be erected in the Central Park,
in memory of the late Elias Howe, Jr.,
the inventor of the sewing machine,
and that the money should be raised by
voluntary offerings of not more than
one dollar each from ladies who have
known the benefits of the invention.
Elias Howe, Jr., was not merely sue
cessful inventor, whose needle machine,
more powerful and humane than the
famous "needle gun," has changed
wholly the face of one of the most uni-
versal and fatiguing kind of domestic
toll; he was also a good citizen and
earnest patriot, who freely gave his
money and time, and was ready to risk
health and life for his country.
It is understood that an experienced
sculptor has a satisfactory design for
an impressive monument, with studies
modelled from life, and that gentle
man of well-known integrity and thor
ough acquaintance with the history of
the invention is ready to act as Treas
urer.

A Bad Boy.

They say that the chief astronomer
at the Washington Observatory was
dreadfully sold a few days ago. A
wicked boy, whose Sunday-school ex-
perience seems only to have made him
more depraved, eau ght FREELY, and
stuck it, with the aid of some muci-
lage, in the centre of the largest lens
in the telescope. That night, when
the astronomer went to work, he per-
ceived a blaze of light apparently in the
heavens, and what amazed him more
was that it would give a couple of
spurts and then die out, only to burst
forth again in a second or two. He
examined it carefully for few mo-
ments, and then began to- do sums to
discover where in the heaven that ex-
traordinary star was placed. He
thought he found the locality, and the
next morning he telegraphed all over
the universe that he had discovered a
new and remarkable star Of the third
magnitude of Orion. In day or two
all the astronomers in Europe and
America were studying Orion, and
they gazed at it for hours until they
were mad, and then they began to tel
egraph to the man in Washington to
know what he meant. The discoverer
took another look and found that the
new star had moved about one billion
miles in twenty-four hours, and upon
examining it closely he was alarmed to
perceive that it had legs! When he
went on the dome, the next morning,
to polish up his glass, he found the
lightning-bug. People down at Alex
andria, seven miles distant, heard parts
of the swearing, and they say he infus-
ed into it much whole-souled sincerity
and vigorous energy. The bills for
telegraphic dispatches amounted to
So, 900, and now the astronomer wants
to find that boy. He wishes to consult
with him about something.

PRoD1G1Es.-We have two prodigies
in Kansas in the shape Of two girls, who
are afflicted with a disease to which
medical men find it difficult to apply
a name. They take sudden fits of some
thing or other, nobody knows what,
and 90 around in all forms, biting the
legs of chairs and tables. They han
die red hot Goals and put them into
their mouths, and laugh at it as ifit were
the jolliest kind of sport imaginable.
One day doctor visited them and
found both girls under the spell. He
says he saw one crawling about, biting
the legs of the chairs and tables, while
the other was talking, laughing and
dancing around the floor in a most un-
natural manner. The legs of the chairs
and tables bore evidences of the fire.
