FROM statement of the imports and exports
of the Port of st. John, N. B., for the month of
July, 1873, we learn that while the value of
goods entered was less than in the month of
July, 1872, the value of the goods exported was
greater. In regard to the exports we notice an
increase in the value of mining products of over
1000 per cent, the amount being 1852 in 1872,
and S5429 in 1878. The products of the fisher
les exported amounted to S45,1 26 in July, 1873,
against S2S, 82i the previous year. There was
decrease In the value of animals and their pros
ducts from S2i,0l2 to S9936, and only a slight
increase in the value of agricultural products.
The value of manufactures exported during the
month was S12S7 in 1872, witch was more than
doubled in 1873, the amount then reaching
S2543 Coin and bullion to the amount of So

July, 1873. The totals are-imports in July,

Training a Heller.

Cows become addicted to kicking
when heifers, from being MIXED by
abusive mixers / have never seen
an old COW become a kicker unless
abused. Instead of giving q large
quantity, have ever found it the
reverse. When pasturage is good,
COWS come home at night with I'D
ders distended with milk, and our
"down east cows" seem grateful to
have it removed. Milking a heifer
for the first time requires patience,
for they will almost invariably kick.
In such a case put broad strap
around her body, just front of the
udder and buckle it up moderately
tight, and as soon as she gets quiet
(for she may dance around a little
at first, sit down your pail, and go
to milking, for she is as helpless as
a kitten. Do not attempt to use a
rope instead of a strap, for it will
not answer. This is a much better
method than tying the legs, as il
does not hurt the animal in the
least. A few applications of the
strap, with plenty of patience and
kindness, will cure the most obsti-
nate case.-RurdLH Home.

Teataof Death.

In every case of death the blood
ceases to flow and we cease to
breath. Sometimes there is so little
breath that q polished mirror is not
tarnished, and yet there is life.
A polished needle stuck into the
flesh is moistened if there is life; if
there is none the needle is as bright
as before.
A burning candle or hot iron to
the skin raises a blister if there is
life, otherwise none.
When life is not entirely extinct
animation has been restored by cut
ting the finger so as to cause it to
bleed, thus setting the circulation
in motion again.
The latest suggestion is to tie {
cord tightly around the finger o.
toe; if there is the very slightest cir
culation remaining, the skin between
the cord and extremity, begins t.
distend, blacken or redden, if ther,
is life, and the whole space shows
a uniform blush red, except tina
there is a ring of white at the liga
ture.
The very last anxiety of the grea
Washington was that he should no
be buried alive, and the very las
words he ever uttered, "It is well,
were in response to the attendan
that he understood Washington
wishes in that respect.

Perfect Horse

In weight, she might have turned
when well conditioned, nine hundred
and fifty pounds. In color she was
a dark chestnut, with velvety depth
and soft look about the hair indies
cribably elegant. Many a time have
heard ladies dispute the color of
her plush like coat as they ran their
white iewelled fingers through her
silken hair. Her body was round
in the barrel, and perfectly symmet-
rical. She was wide in the hauches,
without projection of the hip-bones,
upon which the ribs seemed to lap.
High in the withers as she was, the
line of her back and neck perfectly
curved, while her deep, oblique
shoulders and long thick fore arm,
ridgey with swelling sinews, sugges-
ted the perfection of stride and pow
er. Her knees across the pan were
wide, the cannon bone below them
short and thin; the pastern long
and slooping; her hoOfs round, dark,
and well set on. Her name was a
shade darker than her coat, fine and
thin as a thoroughbred's always is,
whose blood is without tint or cross.
Her ear was thin, sharp pointed, del
icately curved, nearly black around
the borders, and tremulous as the
leaves of an aspen. Her neck rose
from the withers to the head in per-
feet curvature, hard, devoid of fat,
and we'll cut up under the chops.
Her nostrils were full, very full and
thin almost as parchment. The
eyes, from which tears might fall
or fire flash, were well brought out,
soft as gazelle's, almost human in
their intelligence; while over the
small bony head, over neck and
shoulders, yea, over the whole body
and clean down to the hOofs, the
veins stood out as if the skin were
but tissue paper against which the
warm blood pressed, and which it
might at any moment burst assun-
der. "a perfect animal" l said to
myself, as 1 lay looking her over,
"an animal which might have been
born of the wind and the sunshine,
SO cheerful and SO swift she seems;
an animal which a man would pre-
sent as choicest gift to the woman ne
loved, and yet one which that wo-
man, wife or 'lady-love, would give
him to ride when honor and life de-
pended on bottom and speed" w
II. Murray, in Atlantic Monthly.
