Advantages or Crying.

A French physician is out with long
dissertation on the advantages of groan.
ing and crying in general, and especially
during operations. He contends that
grooming and crying are the two grand
operations by which nature allays
anguish; that those patients who give
way to their natural feelings more speed
lily recover from accidents and operations
than those who suppose II unworthy for q
man to betray such symptoms of COW.

is nearly always useful, and nothing can
be more natural than the crying OF chill

gutta-percha needles two sizes larger than
ordinary steel needles the latter may be
used if it Is desired to have the work
very close and fine before washing. Set
up one eighty-one stitches and knit one
plain row. The next row begin by mar.
rowing one stitch; knit three stitches,
then throw in the thread and knit one
this Is TO widen--throw in the thread
again and knit one, then knit two and
take, on the right.hand needle, one stitch
from the left Now narrow one and bind !;
that is, drop over the stitch you have just
narrowed the one you took from the left
hand needle. Repeat all of the above to
the end Of this row, then knit across with
one plain row and back with another,
preserving the right and wrong sides of
these two rows, which complete the seal
lop. Repeat the three aforementioned
rows until piece of sufficient length is
knit. Knit another of the same size, and
join the two at the side edges TO within a
few inches of the top, which leave open
for inserting sleeves. The sleeves are
knit with row of scallops at the lower
edge, and are ribbed for the top part.
Finish the neck, after sewing in the
sleeves, with crotched scallop, and in

Training and Driving Colts.

The warm days OF spring usually put
the youngsters Of the family in mind OF
breaking or training colts. The animal
passions are aroused in those who have
seen them subdued by literally breaking
their spirit. but not In those who have
been taught that gentleness and patience
are the most potent powers in subdning
any of the domesticated animals. If the
animal has been handled from the time it
was q colt, il will usually submit TO the
biting harness quietly 1t may then be
turned into some safe yard, and allowed
10 wander about at viii for an hour, care
being taken at first not TO check the head
too high, but slightly above the natural
position in which 1t is carried, or it may
be exercised for time at the end Of fl
teen. foot cord or strap, until it be some
what tired. 1t may be checked up more
and more each day, being gradually COM
PEELED to carry its head higher and
higher.
When it will walk or trot at command,
or even before, the colt may be hitched
alongside steady old mare and driven.
If frightened, it will, if the driver keeps
calm, soon recover, and usually proceed
quietly enough; and, whenever 1t does so,
it should soon thereafter be taken from
the harness. AS soon as ii overcomes the
sense of fear at being harnessed, it may
be put to light blowing by the side of
strong, steady horse, giving the colt, of
course, the long end of the drawbar.
Whatever the provocation to anger, the
driver should keep cool. At least, do not
get angry until the colt has forgotten the
cause of the anger, if it consumes the
whole day; for when both horse and
driver get angry at the same time the
two-legged brute is almost sure TO give
the quadruped partial lesson by teach
ing It its own strength, and the lesson
will never be forgotten. Patience and
firmness are the powers that can make
horse or mule subservient to man.
If the horse is fine one, or likely to
become valuable as driving horse, 1t
should never be put to drawing heavy
loads at all, but must receive very diff
ferent course of training from that prac-
ticed on the ordinary farm horse. It's
education, however, like that Of any colt,
should be commenced during the first
winter of its life and should proceed thus
up to the time it is two years past. Its
real training should be commenced by
exercising in the biting harness, driving
to a light vehicle beside steady horse,
never, however on long journeys, but
only sufficient to harden its flesh and in
duce muscular development.
At three years old and until it is four
IL should be driven with exceeding care,
only enough for exercise, since it is
critical age for the colt for the reason that
it is the period when the second dentition
takes place, and as consequence the
young animal cannot eat hard food so
well as at more advanced age. Indeed,
all young horses should be used carefully
until they are six years old, and no horse
should be put to fast and exhaustive work
until after that period. Ii properly used
until this time they will increase In stout
ness, ability and speed until they are ten
OF even Twelve years Of age.-W Western

THE efforts being made by Democratic
politicians in this State to divert the minds
of the people from the issues nearest con-
corning them, by raising others that
may never become issues, will prove a
miserable failure. While the people are
toiling and struggling under the burdens
of taxation, they can not avoid looking to
the source of their burdens. A great hue
and cry may be raised and they may tenn
porarily forget their load, but this will be
of short duration, for the weight will re-
mind them soon of their failing energies.

THE Nashville Banner, the great INDIE
pendent" polar star to this benighted
State, has failed to speak out on Andrew
Johnson's Nashville speech. Its "msny
readers" up this way have looked anxious
ly for an expression.
THE editor of the Courier-Journ dis
cusses the effect of the Presidents veto on
Presidential aspirants with this result,
aside from Grant, he says:
There are in the Republican party but
two considerable men remaining on the
scene as Presidential possibilities, Blaine
and Washburne. The veto killed Morton
as dead as door-nail. 1t set Dogan back
thousand years. Conkling is not in
Grants way. He and Grant have league,
offensive and defensive. If Washburne
comes home and goes into the Cabinet,
| that will be the end of him. Blaine is 9
man of extraordinary energy and spring
| by odds the brightest man in Congress
| but, with divided party, what show will
| he have? Cross over to the Democratic
party. 1t Is not only divided, but 1t has
not ole single leader Of genius and nerve
| Thurman is a solemn responsibility, colo
and virtuous. Hendricks is an amiablt
commonplace. The Changers come in be
| tween the two. They are merely slate
smashers. They embrace only a class, ar
sectional and local. The out-and-ou
Liberals are scattered. The South is
cipher. 1t is in condition to sell out or b
crushed out. Thus behold the opportunit,
and the man; dismal prospect indeed
but areal and dangerous prospect.
