THE HER AID
Some Facts About Horses.

IT seems to be the fashion just now
70 record the good qualities of partic.
ular horses. We are told OF one anil
NAL which, abandoned in Callfor-
MIA snow storm, was kept alive with
food furnished by the railroad men at
a desolate station near, and tnally
brought out of the snow safe ana
sound after a three weeks imprlson-
ment So much for endurance. AS
for gratitude here is an animal in Ken
lucky which recently became painfully
and dangerously entangled with cart,
and which, after being rescued, con-
gidered the matter moment, and then
quietly rubbed his nose against the
shoulders of the one who was most
active in helping him. A horse with
memory is described as having been
in the habit of going to a river about
one-third of mile from his stable and
there bathing, afterward rushing Oh
to a common to roll on the grass, and
then with the freedom of air starting
home. Ifhe met his master he wouid
show some coltish pranks, bound tor
the stable, pull out the wooden PIN
that fastened the door with his teeth,
and rush to the manger where he ex-
pected to find his food. One night
the horse was stolen from the stable,
and after sixteen years his owner saw
driven up to an inn door one which
looked exactly like him. The driver
agreed to give him up if he would go
through the performance detailed
above. Accordingly he was taken to
his old yard, looked over the premises
a little while, then started for his old
bath-tub, then for his green towel on
the common, then to his old stable,
pulled the wooden pin, won for him
self good meal, and his old master
his favorite horse. If longevity be a
good quality, then here are several
animals deserving recognition. One
living at Bradford, n. H., is forty-nine
years old, and 6osen't look like de-
parture yet. Another, exhibited last
tall at the Pennsylvania State Fair, is
. white headed veteran of forty-one,
which has never been sick single
day. another in Kentucky is thirty
three years old, and might live to be
a great deal older were it not for en-
tire loss Of teeth. An excellent old
pony in New Haven has come to thlr.
ty five summers, aud is still active and
useful, though somewhat gray.-Neu

Controlling Sex In Breeding.

To fulfil the wish of Mr.. E. 2.
Lamb | will give my experience in
respect to that matter. Seven years
ago | had 26 calves, of which all but
tour were bulls. The cows were
with very few exceptions, served at
the last of their season, because [
thought to get them safer in calf by
doing so. About two years ago [
bought a blooded bull, and seeing in
the v estern Farmer that there would
be more probability of getting heifer
calves by allowing tho parents to
copulato at first of the heat, | DETER
mined to try 1T. L have now got
ten seven calves, FIVE heifers and
two bulls, and of the two cows Civ
ing bull-calves, one was served at
last of the heat and the other rath-
er over the height. From my neigh
bors 9 cows were served by my bull
aud all the calves, except one, were
bulls. My bull was at that time II
to IL months old, but the cows most
ly at full maturity.
la connection with this | wish to
call the attention OF stock growers
to cheap and, as | think, harmless
mode of getting COWS to become in
season, which l have tried several
times, and mostly with success.
When l have COW in season | milk
her before she is served and give
about one quart to the cow l want
to become in season. Put the milk
warm and fresh, in bottle and put
it down the throat of the COW. Us
ually she is in season the third day
after. once tried this remedy on q

SAL have little dog story to add
to those which you publish from time
to time. Some years ago Nine. Cav
aignac, widow of the general found a
small dog in the street dying of hun
ger. 1t had grown too weak to stand,
and turned its pleading eyes into her
face as she paused to regard it lying
in a corner. Nine. Cavaignac had
the dog taken home and nursed, and
ever since it has had very strong
affection for her. Mira was never
happy when out of her sight. The
other day Nine. Cavaignac died. For
a time Mira watched constantly be
fore the door, but week ago she
seemed to give up in despair. When
called to dinner she gave long howl,
turned again to the door, then rushed
away to her bed, and never left il
again. She refused all food, and moth,
ing was dainty enough to tempt her
to eat. For eight days Mira lived
without food, mourning constantly,
and at last died.

R-A sea- devil is now on exhibi-
ton at the Brighton aquarium. 1t is
a monster of dusky brown color,
tadpole shaped, and about FIVE feet in
length. The mouth stretches across
the monsters face, and measures
nineteen inches. At the edge of each
jaw are two or three rows of teeth,
hard, strong and pointed, like the
prongs of rat-trap. When the mouth
is open four and half gallon bar
rel might be got into it. 1t is circu-
lar shaped, over a foot in diameter,
and little less than two feet deep, On
the top of the head, between the eyes
and mouth, are two tendrils each
about a foot in length, one having at
its end fleshy substance which serves
as bait. When angling for a meal
the devil fish covers itself partly be.
meath the sand and weeds and bides
his time. When the prey arrives, the
fish being able to look in any direc.
ton, reviews the situation, gets its
body into position, and seizes it.

Our Passion for Diamonds.

Are we nation of pawnbrokers
or jewelers. says a writer in the
Boston Gazette. We must be one
or the other,or wherefore the quality
of diamonds that are worn by wo-
men and children ? | have no fault
to find with the middle-aged lady
who adorns herself with the family
jewels on full dress occasions but
good taste is outraged at the sight
of girl of 10 wearing as many dia-
mon3s as would ransom a king.
Not long ago met little child, who
old, out walking with her nurse, and
from he- ears hung immense solitaire
diamonds. 1t is no uncommon thing
to see school, girls, from the age OF
10 to 18, wearing diamonds on their
fingers and in their cars. A young
girl does not think her toilet COM
| plete without diamond earrings and
| at least one diamond ring. Then,
as she gets richer, come hair orna-
ments and crosses and lockets made
of the precious stones. Necklaces
of diamonds are rare in this country,
and are not often seen off the stage.
The Countess of Caithness, who
visited this country some time ago,
was the wonder and admiration of
all New York when she appeared in
the box at the opera flashing in $780,
900 worth of diamonds. But, then,
her diamonds had been handed down
from generation to generation of
very rich ancestors, and were only
second to those of royalty. In
European countries it is not until a
woman has attained to years of ma
turity that she wears diamonds.
| And even then not unless she is very
rich. In this country no one is too
young TO wear them, and | was go
ing to say, no one too poor, for l
have often seen women who live in
small houses, up back streets, ap-
pear at church or the opera glitter
ing in diamonds. A lady of my &C.
quaintance, when she gets up in the
morning, puts on her calico wrapper
but that does not prevent her array
ing herself in diamond earrings
breast pin, and finger rings, with
which adornment she performs her
household tasks.

AS long (says the author of the
"Hair Markets of Europe") as girls
will wear as much false hair as that
naturally belonging to thsm, it will
be puerlle to attempt to read tho
character or disposition in the fash
ion or character of locks displayed (;
but viewed naturally the hair is as
grea an index Of temperament and
disposition as the features. Mr.
Greer, in his volume on hair, for in-
stance, quotes the following indica-
tons of character, founded upon the
color and texture of flowing locks,
from book recently published in
Paris, entitled Secrets of Beauty:
"Coarse black hair and dark skin
signifies great power of character,
with tendency to sensuality. Fine
black hair and dark skin indicate
strength of character along with
purity and goodness. Stiff, straight
black hair and beard indicate a
coarse, strong, rigid, straightforward
character. Fine dark-brown hair
signifies the combination ofexquisite
sensibility with great strength of
character. Flat, clinging, straight
hair, a melancholy, but extremely
constant character. Coarse red hair
indicates powerful animal passions,
together with corresponding
strength of character. Auburn hair,
with fiorid countenance, denotes the
| highest order OF sentiment, intensity
of feeling and purity of character,
with the highest capacity for enjoy
ment or suffering. Straight, even,
smooth and glossy hair denotes
strength, harmony and evenness OF
character, hearty affections, o clear
| head and superior talents. Fine,
silky, supple hair is mark of deli
cate and sensitive temperament and
speaks in favor of the mind and
character. White hair denotes 9
Iymphatlc and INDECENT constitution
And we may add that, besides al
these qualities, there are chemical
properties residing in the coloring

Thus, red-haired people are notori'
ously passionate. Now, red hair is
proved by analysis to contain large
amount of sulphur, while very black
hair is covered with pure carbon
The presence of these matters in the
blood point peculiarities of tempera

universally associated with them

flows is strongly Indicative of th'
ruling passions and inclinations, anc
