How to Handle Frightened Horses.

THERE are some good suggestions as
to the management of frightened horses
in the following, from the Ohio Farmer,
especially about curing them by degrees
of all fear of any object, and being calm
and quiet YOURSELF but we should ques-
tion the policy Of giving loose rein when
they shy at objects:
Almost invariably the damage done by
frightened horses is directly traceable to
injudicious management In the first
place, the idea of forcing horse to i" get
used" to something he is frightened at
is wrong If horse is afraid of the cars
or any other object, the only way to cure
him of II is by degrees. Drive or hitch
him at safe distance from them, where
he can see them, and then pay as little
attention to him as possible. Don't make
anything of the matter yourself, and he
will gain confidence very rapidly. When
your horse is frightened never display
any fear or nervousness yourself, and
make the matter appear as light as posi-
BILE. If you make great demonstration
about holding him, 1t is certain TO mag
nifty the cause in the mind of the horse.
Never let your horse see you are afraid
of him, nor Try to cure his fear by force
or rough treatment, for either course will
be certain to increase his fear.
BE firm, calm and kind, and you
will be astonished at your own success
Many horses are disagreeable drivers
from the habit of shying at objects on the
roadside or in passing another vehicle
this is in most cases 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, do not pay the leas
attention to it, do pot pull him severely

ceum Is the man who successfully mimics
the foibles and follies of the times, with q
spice of fun dashing the satire of his de-
scriptions. The ballad that sings Its way
into everybody's heart has touch Of
drollery mingled with its pathos, and the
preacher whose sermons are touched here
and there with an honest good humor or
streak of genuine mirth Is sure to be
sought by the many. We all crave the
rest and recreation that lie In amusement,
and better than hundred prescriptions

The other day, tired and dispirited, we
took our journey homeward, In car
about half full of people, who like our
selves were spiritless and weary. An old
apple-woman sat in one corner, an elderly
gentleman, with immense whiskers and a
gold.headed cane, read the paper in an
other. In the middle, frigid as breath
from Greenland's icy mountains, erect
and stiff, sat fashionable lady, and dot
ted here and there were young and mid
dle.aged men and women, with business
written over all their faces and forms.
Into this assembly, all as unsympathetic
as SO many sphinxcs, suddenly entered,
with chatter and hustle, and sparkle and
ripple of voices, and little crescendo and
diminuendo peals of laughter, a half
dozen schoolgirls. They were glowing
with health and overflowing with fun,
and by the very sunshine of their pres
ence, in half moment or so, they wrought
metamorphosis in that car. The apple
woman forgot that she was going home
TO dry bread and cold potatoes; the gold.
headed cane man put his paper down and
looked benevolent; the lady of the ice
melted perceptibly, and we asked men
tally to be forgiven for having felt irrita.

Wanderings OF an Insane Man Through
the Snow.

Among the boarders in the family of
Mrs. McCabe, on West Newark avenue,
Jersey City, is Thomas Brannon. He has
recently suffered from typhoid fever to
such degree that his mind became af-
fected, and he has been frequently delir-
ious. About eight O'Clock on Sunday
night he arose from his bed and quietly
passed out of the house, unobserved by
any of the inmates. The only clothing
that covered his body was an undershirt,
pair of drawers and stocking on one
foot. In this condition he set out across
u bleak section of the meadow flats for the
County Workhouse at Snake Hill, and
more dreary, cherries journey, in even
the mildest weather, it would be difficult
to trace within twenty miles of Jersey
City. Through the wild waste of track
less snow for distance of four miles
wandered the raving man. He must have
been insensible TO suffering or he would
have succumbed to the attacks of the
keen, biting frost. Yesterday morning at
six o'clock one of the keepers of the
PenitentiGry in Snake Hill saw man
clinging to the bars of one ofthe windows,
and, observing that he was in almost
nude condition, he hastened to his relief.
This man was Brannon. His hands were
frozen to the bars, and were so stiff that it
was with difficulty he could be exiricatedi
The eXtremities-ins short his whole body
were frozen, and there were no indications
of life. The keeper remarked when he
called for assistance, "Come out; there is
a corpse hanging out of the window n
The resident physician, however, applied
restoratives, and with such success that
the wretched man returned to conscious.

Should Horses Wear Blfnders!

WE never could see what vice or de-
formity lay in horses eye, that should
make Ii necessary 10 cover il up and shut
out its owner from at least two.thirds of
his rightful field of vision. The poets
say that old age looks backward; but we
never heard such an idiosyncrasy charged
upon the horse. The theory that horse
is less apt TO be frightened when shut out
from everything behind him we sus-
pect to be a fallacy, else saddle horses
and war horses would be duly blinded
Every horse is as familiar with his own
carriage as with his own TAIL and, as far as
his personal" fortitude is concerned, is
no more disturbed at being pursued by
one than the other. AS for the other
scarecrows that come up behind, they
are mostly so familiar TO the animal that
the more fully the horse can perceive them
the more quietly does he submit to their
approach. Then 1t is such pity to cover
up one of the most brilliant features OF
this most brilliant creature. The horse
has borne such hand in the civilization
of this rough-and.tumble world that il
seems not so much cruelty as a dis
courtesy, as well as disgrace, to hide his
form with embarrassing toggery. Nc
wonder we estimate the force in the world
as horse. power; no wonder the Romans
and the Germans, each in their own
language, designated their aristocracy as
riders; no wonder their descendants made
chivalry synonym for their highest vir
tues. Let the horse be given his due, and
unblinded. The check rein is another
nuisance in harness wear which has al
most entirely disappeared from England

order of the Commander-in-C Chief, Sil

The Light End Of a Stove.

AREADER who is recently married writes
us asking which end of stove is the
lightest. We really wish we knew, but
we don't. A stove is very deceiving, and
one has TO become we'll acquainted with
a new one to find its points of advantage
Our friend should not be too hasty in TAX
ing hold of stove. A stove that is to be
moved should be visited in the still
watches of the night before, and carefully
examined by the light of good lamp
The very end we thoHght the lightest may
prove the heaviest lin fact, is extremely
likely TOY or it may be that the lightest
end is the most difficult to gethold of and
hang on to. 1t is very distressing un-
dertaking to carry half ton of stove by
your finger.nails, with cold. .blooded
man easily holding the other end, and a

hand and broom In the other bringing
up the rear and getting the broom between
your legs. In going up stairs 1t is best TO
be at the lower end Of The stove.
Going backward up stairway with a
stove in your hands requires a delicacy
of perception which very few people
possess, and which can only come after
years of conscientious practice. If you
are below you have the advantage Of miss
ing much that must be painful to sensi.
tive nature. The position you are in
brings your face pretty close to the top
of the stove, and as no one can be expect
ed to see what is going on when thus
situated you are relieved from all respon-
sibility and thought in the matter, with
nothing to do but to push valiantly ahead
and think of Heaven. Then above you is
the carman whom you do not see, with
his lips two inches apart, his eyes pro.
truding, and his tongue lolling on his
chin. And it is we'll you don't see him,
for IL is an awful sight. But the chief ad-
vantage of being below is that, in case of
the stove falling, you will be caught be-
meath II and instantly killed. Nothing
short of your death will ever compensate
for the scratched paint, soiled carpet and
torn oil.cloth. And no man in his senses
and with his hearing unimpaired would
want to survive the catastrophe-Ddnbury

The blessing of Fun.

AS A people we are given to sobriety OF
demeanor. Mirthfulness and jollity are
hardly to be reckoned as among our prom
inent national characteristics; albeit we
are not without certain dry humor and
wit of our own, and know the droll thing
when we happen TO see it. But we do not
laugh very much. The stamp that the
grim and decorous Puritan and the stately
and gracious Cavalier set upon our coun,
try when they landed upon its shores has
never been removed. Not all the influx
of streams from many nations-jovial
German, prodigal Irish, passionate Span
ish, mercurial French or tranquil Swede
has taken from us as people the sober,
grave, steady and selfrepressed exterior
which is second nature with all English
speaking folk yet we are glad when we
arc made to laugh in spite of ourselves.

MODERN MEDICAL DIsCovERY.-It is
claimed that disease, with a few excep-
tions, has been conquered by the research
and intellect of enlightened men; and yet
noted professor of New York admits
that "of all sciences, medicine is the most
uncertain" and that thousands are an.
nually slaughtered in the sick ROOM"
Certain "schools" of medicine are in eX-
istence, one of which "makes the patient
ill.," in order to claim cure; and another
administers "sugar. coated bread pills."

cures. DR.. j. WALKER, of California, an
old and respected physician, tried both
modes of treatment and both failed. He
then appealed to natures curative-herbs
and now enjoys rugged health. He has
given the benefit of his discovery to the
world, in the shape of VINEGAR BITTERs,

quantity almost large enough to make a

by grateful thousands. 81

flow Nutmegs Grow.

AN old whaler tells, in the american
Grocer, all about nutmegs. This spice, so
much used in every family, is indigenous
to the Moluccas, reaching its greatest per
fection in Amboyna. This island belongs
to the Dutch, who do not permit the cul-
tivation of the nutmeg in the other islands
under their control. The nutmeg tree is
twenty-five or thirty feet high when fully
grown, with foliage of rich dark green,
and very plentiful. 1t reaches maturity,
or full productiveness, at the fifteenth year
from planting. From the blossom to the
ripening of the fruit takes about seven
months, but as the tree is a perennial
bearer there are always blossoms, green
fruit and ripe on the tree.
The yield is most plentiful in the last
four months of the year. The average
yield per annum of healthy tree is five
pounds of nutmegs and one and fourth
pounds of mace. A plantation of 1000
trees requires the labor of seven coolies,
fifty oxen and two plows for cultivation
and harvesting The fruit is gathered by
means of hook attached to a long pole.
1t is shaped like pear, about the size OF
q peach, and has delicate bloom" The
nut has three coverings; the outside one
is thick, fleshy husk, having strong
flavor of nutmeg. This husk, preserved
in syrup when young, is favorite sweet
meat in the East Indies. Under this husk
is the bright red mace, which is carefully
flattened by hand and dried on mats in
the sun. 1t loses its rich scarlet and be-
comes dull orange color, aud requires
to be kept perfectly dry to preserve its
flavor.
After the mace is removed from the
fruit, the nuts, in their brown shells, are
placed on hurdles over slow fire, which
is kept constantly burning under them for
two months. The nuts then rattle in the
shells, which are cracked with wooden
mallet, the sound nuts selected and packed
in wooden cases, and sprinkled over with
dry, sifted lime, and are then ready for
market. The best nutmegs are dense,
emit oil when pricked with pin, and
can always be known by their heavy
weight. Poor ones are light and easily
known
