The true way Is to let the horse
drive himself, the driver doing little
but directing him and giving him
that confidence which horse alone
gets in himself when he feels that a
guide aud friend is back of him. The
most vicious and inexcusable style of
driving is that which so many drivers
adopt, viz: Wrapping the lines around
either hand and pulling the horse
backward with all their might and
main, so that the horse in point of
fact, pulls the weight back of him
breast and shoulders. This they do
under the impression that sucn dead
pull Is needed to STEADY" the horse.
The fact is, with rare exception, there
should never be any pull on the horse
at all. A steady pressure is allOwa-
BILE, probably advisable; but anything
beyond this bas no jus ification in na-
II e or reason for nature suggests
the utmost possible freedom of action
of head, body and limbs in order that
the animal may attain the highest rate
of speed and reason certainly for
bids the supposition that by the bits
and not the breast collar, the horse
is to draw the weight attached to it.
In speeding my horses | seldom grasp
the lines with both hands when the
road is straight and free from Obstruc-
tiOns. The lines are rarely steadily
taut. but held In easy plIancy and
used chiefly to shift the bit in the
horses mouth, and by this method
my horses break less and go much

origin Of Curious Phrases.

The origin of phrases and some of our
common words presents an interesting
study. The term sub rosa is said to have
originated as follows: Cupid gave a
rose to Hippocrates, and from this
a rose over the table when eating when
it was intended that the conversation
should be kept secret. The eXplana-
ton of the origin of ''by hook OF crook -
is that in the Olden time persons enti-
tied to get firewOod in the Kings forest
were limited to such dead branches as
they could tear down with shook or a
crook without hurt to his Majesty's
tree" ''In spite of his teeth origina-
ted thus: King John of England once
demanded of jew the sum of ten thou
sand marks, and on being refused, or
dered that the Israeiite should have one
after another of his teeth drawn until
he gave his consent. The jew submit
ted to the loss of seven, and then paid
the quired sum; hehce the expression
sin spite of his teeth" Mr.. +. Crossley
suggests that as the origin of the word
"humbug" the Irish 'uim bog" pro-
nOunced ''um-bug," literally ''soft cop
per" or worthless money" James III.
issued from the Dublin Mint mixture
of lead, copper, and brass so worthless
that sovereign was intrinsically worth
only two pence, and might have been
bought after the revolution for half
penny. Sterling and um-bug were
therefore expressions of real fictitious
worth-merit and humbug.

Nowhere is well-bred courtesy, or the
lack of it, more observable than in
travelling. On the steamboat or in the
ears, the quiet observer easily detects
those who have been educated under re-
fined influences. or those who, without
special cultivation, are possessed of ma
tive politeness. IL is not education
alone, nor wealth, nor high social posi-
ton, nor costly trappings, that makes
one pleasant travelling companion
There must exist a kindness of feeling
toward strangers, a general recognition
of equal rights in the comforts aud con-
veniences provided for the public, and a
quickened discernment of the needs of
others. summer journeying in crowded
boats and cars is test of both patience
and pOliteness. Thrice happy they who
pas nobly through it, for the comfort
of companions, and for the reputation
of poor human nature in general
1t Is safer TO be humble with one
talent, than proud with ten; yea, better
to be humble worm than proud angel

Can Birds Converse !.

DIR. Charles c. Abbott cites the fol-
lowing occurrence to show that birds
possess some mode of conveying ideas
TO one another. In the spring of 1872 a
pair of cat-birds were noticed carrying
materials for a nest 10 a patch of black
berry-briers hard bv. no test their in-
genuity, DIR. Abbott took long ma. row
strip of muslin, TOO long for one BIRD
conveniently TO carry, and placed it Oh
the ground in such a position As to be
seen by the birds when searching for
material. In a few moments one of the
cat-birds spied the strip and endeavored
to carry it off, but its length and weight
however he took hold of ii and he
tried many rimes-impeded his flight,
and, after long worrying over it, the
bird flew off for assistance. In "A few
moments he returned with his mate,
and then, standing near the strip, they
to hold consultation. The
chirping, twittering, murmuring, and
occasional CALCULATIONS, We're all unmis-
In a few moments these all
and the work commenced. Each
took hold of the muslin strip, at about
the same distance in each case from the
ends, and, taking flight simultaneously,
bore it away. Soon there was much
jabbering at the nest; the birds could
not agree how to use the strip, and it
was finally abandoned; but so, too, was
the nest, and the birds left the neigh
borhood.-Popaldr Science Monthly for

Scientific Men.

The families are usually large to
which scientific men belong. But the
number of their own children Is COM
paratively small confirming the common
belief in tendency TO the extinction of
the families of men who work hard with
the brain. The results derived from the
study of heredity are apt to be dis
appointing, on account of the difficulty
of obtaining good historical portraits.
Even the value of these is diminished
by the passion of distinguished perscn>
for uniforms, wigs. robes, and other
draperies, which indicate their office,
but conceal the man. But there can be
no doubt that certain families exhibit
remarkable intellectual abilities through
a course of several generations. OF this
the Darwin family afford striking
illustration. DIR. Erasmus Darwin, the
grandfather of the celebrated living
naturalist, was physician, ,physiologist,
anG poet. His "Botanic Garden had a
prodigious reputation in its day. The
ingenuity of his numerous writings is
remarkable. He was held i'm high e.
TEEN by his scientific friends, including
such celebreties as Priestley and Watt,
and was a man of great vigor, humOr
and geniality. In the second generation
his son, Charles Darwin, who died AZ
the age .Of twenty-one, had already
achieved an honorable distinction in
medical science. Robert Waring Dar-
win, (the father of the present Charles)
was physician of great provincial cele-
Drity, and a shrewd observer. Another
brother, Sir Francis Darwin. was Origi-
naily physician, but for many years
lived i'm secluded part of Derbyshire,
surrounded by animal oddities: half
wild pigs ran about the woods, tanned
snakes frequented the house, with other
curious appliances for the study of natu-
raj history. The third generation is
illustrated by the name of Charles Dar-
win. ''whom all scientific men reverence
and love, the simple grandeur of whose
conclusions is as remarkable as the mag
nitude and multifariousness of their
foundation" Another example of here
diuary intellectual aptitude is presented
by the Taylors of Ongar. Numerous
members of this family have shown a
singular combination of literary talent,
artistic tastes, mechanical faculty, and
religious disposition.
Its founder, Isaac Taylor, went to
London with an ambition Of an artist,
and became reputable engraver. One
ofhis sons, Charles Taylor, was learned
recluse, and edited Calmet's 'Dietionary
of the Bible" Another, the Rev. Isaac
Taylor, was the author of several edu-
cational works, and in the third genera
ton, his son, Isaac Taylor, author of the
Natural History of Enthusiasm, and
other works, has been distinguished a
a writer of peculiar subtlety of thought,
and variety OF learning. His sisters,
Ann Taylor and Jane Taylor, are well
known for their contributions to juve-
nile literature. The character of the
family is amply sustained in the fourth
generation by the Rev. Isaac Taylor,
author of "Words and Places and
.'Etruscan Researches" and by other
descendants, both in the male and fe-
mall. line

On account of their supposed destruc-
ton Of fish, there is at present great
raid against the swans on the Thames.
1t is alleged that they have increased to
an extent which deducts considerably
from the picturesque Wordsworthian
ideal of the swan that "nOats double
swan and shadow" that they should be
seen in ones or twos, but certainly not
in swarms. Mr.. S. C. Hall, in the Book
Of the Thames, says, with pardOnable en-
thusiasm, "we would almost as soon
part with the trees which border, as
with the swans that grace the surface
Of our noble river" They certainly
tend to keep down the too great exub-
erance of aquatic weeds which, with the
coarse grass which grows luxuriantly
at the waterside, form their salad. But
they are accused of rendering their
vegetable diet the more palatable by an
admixture of fish-spawn, particularly
that of perch, which, being suspended
on the branches of submerged willows
in convenient festOOns, is looked upon
by the bird of Leda as being purposely
placed there for its especial enjoyment.
1t has been pleaded by some that this
lubricating luxury is necessary for the
proper assimilation of its food; but the
opponents of this doctrine have ex-
amined the internal economy of the
bird to prove that it possesses a gizzard
of such wondrously grinding power
as to admit of no such excuse. This
fOndness for the ribbOn-like Ova of the
Percd family is no false Indictment, as
we have been of those who, in the in
terests of the fisheries, have vainly at
tempted to drive away swans from the
spawning-grounds. In these encounters
the birds did not always get the worst
of it; the blow of swan communicated
from the bend of its wing, even upon
the end of an oar grasped by the hand,
giving shock to the muscles of the arm
that has been felt for an hour after
ward. And then in these sallies we
were not allowed to resort to violence
or injury, as there are penalties attached
to even disturbing swlns while on their
nest. Taking eggs from the nests of
swans and of certain other birds was an
offense severely dealt with i'm Olden
times. Even the keeping of a swan not
marked, without license, was a mis-
aud stealing marked and
pinioned swans is still felony. By the
old law, when a marked swan was
stolen in an open and common river, the
purloiEed bird, if it could be obtained,
and if not, another swan, was hung up
by the bill, and the thief was compelled
to give the party robbed as much meal
as would cover all the swan, the opera
ton being performed by pouring the
grain on its head till it was entirely
hidden. A similar fine was imposed for
stealing cat from the Princes grana-
Journal.

restore it! Oh, shall restore it," he
cried, gaily, smiling ON them one and
all. 1T will he mine; you will not
think of keeping it: you can none of
you play on it," he began to implore.
.'It's q Guarnerius, the Giuseppe del
Jesus. 1t is worth mOney-it is worth
more; you shall have thousand, you
shall have fifteen hundred, you shall
have two thousand dollars for it,"
"Oh, hush, indeed" cried Jessie.
"Of course you shall have it, Sir. 1t is
valueless to us; it is yours
''Stay, stay moment, JESSIE" said
her father.
''The little black fiddle is mine. That
poor old vagabond, fallen from his high
estate, gave it to me. 1t is way bread
has of coming back upon the waters
after many days. If the signor wants
to pay me a thousand dollars for it, we
will compass the other five hundred by
ourselves, and you shall go to Italy"
The next morning Signor Pazzani
went off with the little black fiddle
tucked under his arm, and Mr.. Brooks
went to the city with him to secure
essie's passage in the next steamer
mat sailed for foreign shores. And the
little fiddle had some share in it, after
all
