WHAT THE WIND ELVES HEARD AND
SAW

THE WEST WIND:
The saddest sound 1 ever heard
Was the wailing plant of q mOther-bird
For the wee nesting that eheered her nest,
Dead, with thorn in its pretty breast.
THE SOUTH WIND:
I have known a sight that was sadder still;
There's grave up yonder, upon the hill,
And a mother weeps at her poor boys name,
For his ruined soul, and his guilt and shame.
THE WEST WIND:
The sweetest sight that ever knew
Was the kiss of two lovers whose love was true,
As they pledged themselves, come veal or woe,
One path in life they should henceforth know.
THE SOUTH WIND:
Once, when a weary old man died,
1 saw heavens gates swung open wide,
And his wife, who an angel long had been,
Stretching welcoming hands and cried, Dear,
come in y
And the look on her face II was dumb with awe
A sight that was grander never saw.
THE WEST WIND:
Last niebt when the stars out in the blue,
Like a dead white lily kissed by dew,
saw baby of two short years
Wet with its mourning mothers tears.
THE SOUTH WIND:
I saw a mother go in one day
Through the gates OF heaven, and heard her say,
q Is my baby here ?" And they put in her arms
A wee child, sweet with baby's charms;
And she cried as she kissed it, her face aglow,
g I have found my babe! This is heaven, know ~

Care of Team Horses.

The following good advice to team
sters has been published in the form of
a snowy poster, and sent out by the
Massachusetts society for the proven
ton of cruelty to animals. It is signed
by Daniel 81. Blanchard, and endorsed
by several veterinary surgeons, agents
of railway and express companies, and
by Chas. A. Currier, special agent of
the society
1. A driver should see that care is
taken of his horse in the stable, by be-
ing we'll fed with wholesome food, of
cracked corn and oats, with plerty of
good hay. Potatoes or carrots may be
given once or twice a week to good adj
vantage. See that he is kept clean,
warm and comfortable, with plenty of
bedding. A piece of rock salt should
always be left in the manger.
2. He should see that his harness is
kept soft and clean, particularly the in
side of the collar, which ought always
to be smooth, as the perspiration, when
dry, causes irritation, and is liable to
produce gals on the shoulder. The
collar should fit closely, with space
enough at the bottom to admit mans
hand. If too large, it has the bad effect
of drawing the shoulders together. On
no consideration should teau, or any
work horse be compelled to wear mar
tingale, as it draws the head down, and
prevents him from getting into an easy
and natural position. The check-rein
may be used, but only tight enough to
keep the head in a natural position, and
it should never be wound around the
names. See that the names are buckled
tight enough at the top to bring the
draught iron near the centre of the
collar. If too low, it not only inter
feres with the action of the shoulders,
but gives the collar an uneven bearing.
Caution should be taken that the girt is
not buckled too tight, particularly on
string teams, for when the traces are
Strengthened, it has tendency to draw
the grit against the belly, and distress
the horse.
3. See that the horse is kept we'll
shod with a good stiff shoe, always
calked at toe and heel on the hind feet,
as it is there where all the propelling
power comes from when heavily loaded.
Keep the feet good and strong, but not
allowing them to be cut away too much
by the blacksmith.
4. The best of Judgment should be
used in loading, taking into considera-
ton the condition of the streets, and
the dis ance to be travelled. Never
overload, for by so doing you only dis
tress, strain and discourage your horse,
and do him more injury than you can
possibly gain by carrying the extra load.
When your load is hard to pull, stop
often and give your horse a chance to
breathe. No good driver will ever re-
sort to the cruel practice of whipping
or beating his horse. A light whip may
be carried, but there is seldom use for
it. Much more can be accomplished by
kind treatment and good Judgment.
Remember the horse is a very intelii-
gent, proud, sensitive, noble animal,
the most useful known to rsn, and is
deserving of the greatest kindness.

The shillooks of the White Nile.

The Shillook tribe inhabits the entire
left bank of the White Nile, occupying
territory about two hundred miles
long and about ten miles wide, and
which extends to the mouth of the Ora
zelle river. This territory is densely
populated. After the subsection of the
Shillooks to the Egyptian government
census was taken, which resulted in an
estimate of about 100000 souls.
These Shillooks are the first tribe of
wild savages which Dr. Schweinfurth
encounters. As his boat neared the
landing of the first village a great
crowd of naked creatures swarmed to-
gether to receive him. The first sight
of throng of savages suddenly pre-
senbing themselves in their complete
nudity must make a very strange i'm
preston upon the traveller fresh from
the civilization of Europe. But the
Shillooks seemed to be equally i'm
pressed with the fair skin and, more es-
pecially, the fine straight hair of the
traveller. Indeed, all through Africa,
when Schweinfurth wished to confer a
great favor on the natives in return for
some courtesy, he allowed them, greatly
to his own disgust, let it be said, to feel
of his hair. The ShilIooks are accus-
toned to arrange their own hair in all
manner of fantastic forms, which are
fastened with gum-arabic and ashes,
some heads bearing resemblance to
the comb of a guinea-fowl, others to a
helmet, or, it may be, to a huge fan.
Even while they are infants at the
breast the work of fastening the hair
into some particular shape is begun,
and in time it becomes effectually clot-
ted together, SO as to permanently re-
tain the desired form.
These savages are accustomed to
plaster their bodies with ashes as pro.
lection against insects, which give them
a thoroughly diabolical aspect. The
movements of their lean, bony limbs
are so languid, and their repose so per-
feet, that whoever comes as a novice
among them can hardly resist the i'm
preston that in gazing at these ash
gray forms he is looking upon moul-
dering corpses rather than upon living
beings.
The only conception the Shillooks en-
terrain of higher existence is limited
to their reverence for a certain hero,
who is called the father of their race,
and who is supposed to have conducted
them to the land which they at present
occupy. In case of famine, or in order
that they may have rain, or that they
may reap good harvest, they call up
on him by name. They imagine of the
dead that they are lingering among the
living, and still attend them; they
cherish old traditions, and venerate the
memory of their ancestors with all the
fervor that more civilized nations be-
stow upon their religious belief.-Har-
oer's Magazine.

In some parts of Russia strong tenn
perance movement is nov on foot. In
the month of January last forty-eight
village communities in the district of
MohIlew adopted stringent regulations
By these enactments, it was made an
ofense to buy or sell liquor on credit
or in exchange for other articles, or to
lOiter in a drinking saloon. In the
district of Pensa, some two hundred
villages have resolved that no inns or
drinking saloons shall be erected on
any soil belonging TO the peasants. In
consequence of these regulations many
saloon keepers have been prosecuted
and sentenced to undergo punishment.
