Hints for HOrsemeB.

If your horse is in the habit Of kick.
ing, use low dashboard and he will
soon get over it.
Keep your horse fat; don't allow any
one to get lien on him.
When your horse refuses to take up
an oat, consider him as having failed.
To make your horse very fast, tie him
with two halters.
Never feed horse chestnuts to chest
nut horses, nor horse sorreI to sorrel
horses; you can give cream to a cream
horse, if you like and the horse likes it.
1t is not necessary to employ cream
pitcher to pitch hay to a cream horse,
however.
1t may answer to stirrup your saddle,
but don't stir up your horse-at least a
stirring horse-in a crowd, II might
cause stir.
Look carefully after the bits of your
horse, or you may soon be looking after
the bits Of your wagon.
If you have the proper address, you
may receive a couple of lines from a
horse, but on no account drop line.
However well you may be attached
to your horse, you must be certain your
horse is well attached to your carriage.
If horse is recommended to you as
being horse of good carriage, don't
infer that he is a good carriage horse.
When you tell horse to get up,
look well to his get up" Some horses
get up within the buggy, and some horses
get up without the buggy, but like deep
sorrow, leave their traces there"
A horse is something like public
officer when he is installed, in this that
he begins to "feel his oats directly, if
there are any oats in the stall. What
ever stall you use for your horse in the
stable, you should always use a head
stall when you drive him. An un-
bridled horse is very much like an un-
bridled tongue.
Rearing colts is often very profitable,
but rearing horses are not prohtable
especially those who rear up in the rear
and execute flank movements on the
dashboard with shooAy accompani-
ments. They foot up" a bill for re-
pairing too rapidly.
Harvesting horse resembles getting
married, in this, that the bride comes
first but you don't feel the bridle4l
reign till you get into the harness"
and feel the check. Blind brides are
most common in boths cases, and poor
things in either.
You may make horse laugh by tick
ling your horse under the ribs, but it
will always be in a crowd Of donkeys.
When you 60 to church you ought to
shed tears of repentance for yourself, if
you don't have any shed for your horses.

lected by Rachel to write the tragedy of
Medea," but which, when finished, she
would not accept, and, moreover, re-
fused to pay for. Ristori purchased it
shortly afterward, and it became one Of
her finest performances. Legouve,
hearing of Mile. Felix's grave condi-
ton, hastened from Paris to Cannes, in
order to see her once more. He arrived,
however, too late to be admitted, for the
doctor had issued an order prohibiting
any one from entering her room, as her
demise was hourly expected. Rachel
heard that Legonve had paid her this
attention, and wrote few lines TO be
given to him in her name, the conclud-
ing one Of which was, "The hand that
traces these words in a day or SO will be
food for worms" Prince Napoleon also
Travelled to Cannes to pay his respects,
and was admitted. Rachel was greatly
pleased at this proof of goodwill, and,
oddly enough, wishing to appear to ad-
vantage, though too i'll to rise, got her
self dressed up in white silk robe, put
on a pretty cap, and added a little rouge
to both her cheeks. Her suferings
during her last sickness were fearful,
to such a degree that she once
asked the doctor to tell her for
charitys sake how soon her death
would come, for she longed to be out of
pain. One afternoon NJ. Sardou, her
kind host, thought to amuse her, as she
seemed better, by giving the peasants a
ball in the garden, to which she was
invited. At first she was delighted at
the scene of mirth, but after time was
seized with convulsive spasm, and the
dancing ended abruptly. This, be-
lieve, was the last time she was ever out
Of doors DIR. Maure said he never in
his life met with more docile or patient
invalid, but whenever she was out of pain
her desire to live was something truly
pathetic. Poor soul, from all have
heard say of her, had she received a
good education and early training, the
world would have been quite as much
filled with the admiration of her virtues
as it was with wonder at her supreme
genius. She was creature of impulse,
but many of her impulses were noble
and generous. When we reflect upon
her wonderful but short career, from a
beggar girl singing ballads in the streets
to the days when she became the object
of adulation on the part of the greatest
and cleverest men of two worlds, charity
bids us forget her faults, and justice to
place her among the most illustrious
women.
