Metz and Strasburg.

A contributor to the London Times,
who has been visiting i!ssc' and Lor-
raine, writes
about twenty-five Thousand Of the
most wealthy French inhabitants and
well-to-do trades people, chiefly, have
left Metz, and about the same number,
chiefly, perhaps, of the poorer sort OF
German trades-people, have taken their
places. French people are, however,
still leaving rs tn Y are able to arrange
their affairs, and not few shops are
now closed from their occupants having
left and no new owners having as yet
arrived to take their place.
"Much about the same sort OF change
has occurred Mt Strasburg, and to a
similar extent, but as far rs | could as
certain the newcomers from other parts
of Germany have eutnumbered those
who have left. The demand for houses
there increases, and many new ones are
now being built, besides those which
are being rebuilt, with increased dimen-
sions, on the sites of those battered
down in the sorely bombarded city.

constructed by Vauban in 1852, thu
year after the town was taken by tn,

faults of the existing telegraph system
Of the country, the scheme proposed
affords no means of remedy for them.
In this connection the fact is established
by abundant evidence from official doc
uments, that the present average rate
for messages in the United States is
lower than in Europe for like dis
patches, and that in this country bust
ness is conducted without any expense
to the government, while in Europe the
several defcicncie, raised by taxation
upon the people amount to several mil
lion dollars. In reply to Mr., Hubbard's s
arguments he referred him to the action
of the Western Union telegraph com
Dany with the associated press, and
showed that there is no combination
betwecn them, that the associated
press depend upon the Western Union
telegraph company in no respect for it's
own monopoly, and that all other press
combinations are offered the same terms
as the associated press obtains. Also,
that the associated press is an indepcnd-
ent agency for the procurementand dis
tribution of news, and the Western
Union telegraph company is an equally
independent common carrier, for its
transmission on call, for all who require
it, and that no establishment of pos.
tai telegraph could affect the associated
press in any way.

How to Handle Frightened Horses.

Almost invariably the damage done
by frightened horses is directly trace
able to iniudicious management. In
the first place, the idea of forcing a
horse to "get used" to something he is
frightened at, is all wrong. If horse
is afraid of the cars or any other object,
the only way to cure him of it is by de-
nrees. Drive or hitch him safe dis.
tance from them, where he can see them,
and pay as little attention to him as
possible. Don't make anvthin" of th"
matter yourself, and he will gain conf
dence very rapidly. When your hoist
ia frightened, never display any'fear or
nervousness yourself, and make the mat
ter as light as possible. If you make a
great demonstration about holding him,
it is certain to magnify the cause in the
mind OF the horse. Never let you horse
see that you nre afraid of him, nor try
to cure his fear by rough treatment,
for either cause will be certain to in
crease his fear. Be firm, calm and kind,
and you will be astonished at your own
success Many horses are disagreeable
Dir vers from the habit of shying at OBJ
iects on the roadside or in passing an
other vehicle; this is in most cases n
mere habit and can be quickly cured,
simply by making the horse ashamed of
his own fear. When horse shies, if
the circumstances will possibly admit
of it, 10 not pay the least attention to
it, do not pull him severely on the rein,
and never hit him with the whip when
past the object, but let the lines remain
loose and let him shy as far as he
pleases without any apparent attention.
No other cause that we have tried will
so quickly and effectually cure a horse
of this disagreeable md sometimes
dangerous habit. In case ola runaway.
dangerous results can often be averted
by quiet calmness, and seeking to re-
store your control by degrees, instead
of by some sudden exertion. Never
halloa, or by any means let the horse
know You are afraid, although ther"
may be ample cause for it. The horse
deserves credit for more knowledge, af-
fection, an memory than is generally
given to him. ohio Farmer.

about two miles off, on elevated sites,
and which will make another such bonn
bardment of the town impossible by
any future enemy. The exterior forts
around Metz, placed on most command
ing situations, are receiving similar at
tent on by being placed in the best pos
sible condition by the Germans, and
the interior forts will most probably be
demolished, as the Strasburg ones GER
tainly will.
cone travelling, as | have done,
through Msace- Lorraine, can not but be
impressed most deeply with the exceed
ing riches and value of the two great
provinces of nearly two million people
which poor unfortunate France has lost.
One of them contains the chief seats of
cotton and other manufactures, and the
other abounds in riches of coal and iron.
It is said, but / cannot vouch for the
statement, that Alsace and Lorraine
brought net annual revenue to France
of E4,000,000 sterling, and all this is
lost, besides having to pay the German
demand of f2O0,000,0O0 as Germany's
money cost of this grievously sad war. J"

PUDDING BY ELECTRIolTY.-The ap-

ton of metals from their ores has been
patented in England. By regulating
the electric current in proper manner
it is claimed that cast iron. wrought
iron or steel can be produced directly
from the furnace without any interme-
