DO HORSES REASON.

o. W. Fiske in Our Dumb Animals,
says: For many years have made the
horse subject of thought and study.
at times have been led to believe that
horses have reasoning powers, and can
understand and apply them in various
ways.
For the last two years have driven
my mare nearly every day over the same
road. About one mile from my home
are two roads, one Leading to the church,
the other leading to the depot. Now
six days in the week drive to the cars,
and on Sunday to the church. At the
point where these roads separate, give
my mare her head, leaving her free to
make her choice, and on week days she
will go straight to the depot, and on Sun
days she goes of her own free will, to the
church ; | never knew her to fail me vet.
It puzzled me for long time to learn
how she should know any difference in
days ; and have come to the conclusion
that she reasons from facts-facts con-
nected with everyday life.
On week days start from nv stable
in two-wheel carrlags on Sundays in
I start from my home in
a carryall, thus making an entire change
both in time, place and carriage ard
from these facts she must be guided in
her choice of roads.
Many say this is instinct ifso, where
does reason begin :?

FORTY BUSHELS OF WHEAT PER
ACRE.

A writer in the Practical Farmer tells
how he gets big crops of wheat :-"For
the past five years I have averaged forty
bushels per acre of wheat of the finest
quality, and always over weight. I
think am still gaining every year, and
attribute this to the sy stem pursued and
especially to keeping sheep. My rota-
ton is corn, barley, with clover and
third year clover, and fourth
year, clover ploWed down for
wheat. 1 have never missed a crop of
clover by seeding it with barley. I,

do not. | raise full crops ofbarlay which
do not interfere with the grass. but think
barley rather helps by the slight shading.
After the barley is cut the clover makes
astonishing growth, giving ne superior
late pasture. Owing to danger from
mice, I pasture it down pretty close.
My soil is clay m. l pillow down the
rank clover about nine inches deep, give
it one narrowing, then haul out my man

in one busAel and one peck to the acre.

freezing or tbawlng, which I see you
sometimes suffer in Eastern PENNSYLVANIA.
One season, and one only, when we had
very fine fall of gro wing weather, the
wheat grew 50 rank that I pastursd it
some during the winter. | have never
had any attacks of insect enemies on the
wheat crop, and feel as certain of crop
of about forty bushels per acre under my
system as that spring will succeed winter.
It is ten years since moved on this farm,
and believe nothing more recuperates a
WORKOUT farm than keeping sheep. They
spread their manure, evenly over the
field, and have found the truth OF what
some one said, that "The tread of the
sheep is golden"

BE HELPFUL.

It seems strange thing, but it is new
ertheless true, that sharing another's bur-
den will tighten our own. If you begin
doing little things for your neighbor, it
will very soon be easy for you to do great
deeds in his behalf. We all need help
from each other. No man is sufficient
unto himself. Trust in Providence is
but higher belief in humanity. You
may feel very much depressed some day,
discouraged and wellnigh despairing'
when some kind friend happens ip-God
sent-and you are soothed, cheered and
encouraged, the vail is lifted, and you are
happy once more.
Many are able to give substantial help
to those who are in need money, to tide
over some financial trouble food, to keep
a family from starving gifts that nour-
ish the heart with assurances of love
something that may be trihe in itself,
but helps make up the sum of human
happiness. But perhaps you cannot do
this ; you have a large family and linn
tied income, or are otherwise prevented
from making the hand the almoner of
the heart. Well, then, draw OH the spin
itual trearury. Give kind words to those
who need them ; comfort those who are
bowed down speak lovingly to little
children, and encouragingly to those who
faint for this support. Stand ready to
help everybody.

A DEFINITION OF RELIGION.

Religion means the moving of the hu-
man soul rightly toward God, toward man,
and toward duty. He who is using his
whole self according to the laws of God,
is religious. Some men think that de-
votion is religion. Yes, devotion is rellg>
ion but it is not all of religion. Here is
a tune written in SIX parts ; and men are
wrangling and quarreling aboutit. One
says that the harmony is in the bass,
another that it is in the soprano, another
that it is in the tenor, another that it is
In the alto; but say that it is in all the
six parts. Each may, in and of itself, be
better than nothing but it requires the
whole six parts to make what was meant
by the musical composer. Some men
say that love is religion. Well, love is,
certainly, the highest element of it, but it
is not that alone. Justice is religion /;
fidelity is religion hope is religion !;
faith is religion obedience is religion.
These are all part and parcel of re
ligion. Religion is as much rs the total
of manhood j; end it takes in every ele-
ment Of it. All the elements of man
hood, in their right place and action, are
constituent parts of religion but no one
of them alone is religion. II takes the
whole manhood, imbued and inspired of
God, moving right both heavenward and
earthward, to constitute religion.

INSIDE TIE WHITE HOUSE IN WIN
TER.


Washington Correspondent of the Louisville
Courier-J Journal.
The White House, which is whittier than
ever by two fresh coats of paint, is all
ready for the reception of the bride and
groom. Mrs. President Grant has given
up her own room for the use Of the young
couple, and has taken one across the hall
which faces the river, and which was
Nellie's room during her girlhood. A
handsome new carpet has been put down,
and the frescoing and paint touched up
in the room which is to be Mrs. Fred
Old Mr.. DenG's room, which is the ad-
joining room, has been newly fitted up
for Nellie, who will not be here before
the end Of January. Colonel and Mrs.
Grant will make visit to New York be-
fore they arrive here. Of course, they
will be much entertained when they ar
rive, as Mrs. Fish, Mrs. Williams, Mrs.
Belknap and others will give dinners,
lunches and evening receptions in their
honor. In this way all of Washington
will be enabled to see those marvellous
dresses of which so much has been writ
ten. Mrs. Fred.'s opportunity for using
her elegant toilets are superior 10 those
of Mrs. Sartoris, for, if we can rely upon
the information that gossips bring, Mrs
Sartoris has led quiet, retired life, and
has had no occasion for attiring herself
in any out the simplest costume. Mrs.
Sartoris' contemplated visit has caused
Colonel Grant to change his plans about
trip to Europe. He will divide his time
between the White House and Chicago.

THE LOVE OF GOD.

Like cradle. rocking, rocking,
Silent, peaceful, to and fro
Like mothers sweet looks dropping
On the little face below
Hangs the green earth, swinging, turning,
Jarrlng, noisless, safe and slow;
Falls the light of Gods face bending
Down and watching us below.
And as feeble babes that suffer,
Toss and cry, and will not rest,
Are the ones the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best.
So when we are weak and wretched,
BY our sins weighed down, distressed,
Then it is that Gods great patience
Holds US closest, loves US best.
o, great Heart of God Whose loving
Cannot hindered be, nor crossed;
Will not weary, will not even
In our death itself be lost
Love divine! of such great loving.
Only mothers know the cost
Cost of love, which all love passing,
Gave Son to save the lost. [Scri6nef's
