The trustworthiness and careful statistics of

these figures may be regarded as nearly
correct. The statement of the cotton crop

Treatment of a Balky Horse.

The society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals has put forth the fol
lowing rules for the treatment of ball1y
horses
l. Pat the horse upon the neck ex
anime the harness carefully, first on one
side, then on the other, speaking en-
couragingly while doing SO; then jump
into the wagon and give the word go !;
generally he will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can
start the worst balky horse by taking him
out of the shafts and making him go
round in a circle till he is giddy. II. the
first dance of this sort does not cure
him, a second will.
3. To cure balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose, and shut
off his wind until he wants to go.
4. The brain of horse seems to en-
tertain but one idea at time; therefore
whipping only confirms his stubborn re-
solve. If you can, by any means, give
him a new subject to think of, you will
generally have no trouble in starting
him. A simple remedy is to take a
couple Of turns of stout twine around the
foreleg, just below the knee, tight
enough for the horse to feel, and tie in q
bow knot. At the first check he will
probably go dancing off, and, after going
a short distance, you can get out and re.
move t|'e string to prevent injury to the
tendon in your further drive.
5. Take the tail of the horse between
the hind legs, and tie it by cord to the
saddle girth.
6. Tie string around the horses ear
close to his head.

just then; so I had nothing else to do
but to take Lizzie's advice; and in just
half an hour I had the old instrument
nearly dissected, much to Mr.. Baby's
edification, as he sat grayely on the floor
in the midst of the interior develop
ments of the ancient piano.
AMI now comes the most marvellous
part of my story.
All piano tuners know that when you
take away the front piece above the key
board there is hollow place of consid-
erable extent, in any instrument of ordi-
nary size. And as stopped to blow
the dust away from this place I saw a
bundle or roll of bank notes fastened
round with a yellow slip of paper,
on which was written: "For my niece
Lizzie"
Lizzie /" 1 cried, breathlessly,
"Lizzie !" and she was at my side in an
instant.
And, if you will believe me, there
were $4,000, the accumulated savings OF
Aunt Georges frugal life; and this was
what she had meant by giving her piano
to us. ...
That $1,000 was the starting point Of
the snug little fortune we have since
scraped together; and if Aunt George
could know how much her bequest has
done for u.s. think it would do hel
kindly heart good.

Alas f! Poor Iceland.

By letter from Iceland, it appears
that, much as the Icelanders love their
land, many will Fave to immigrate or
perish, because of the great eruption
Olafsson says several districts of the best
part of Iceland are destroyed, ashes
lying SO thick that it is estimated that
1880, 900, 000bushels of ashes have fallen
on an area of 81, 900 square miles. There
are lava heaps at the spots of eruption
as much as fourteen miles long and from
five hundred to one thousand fathoms
broad. From another source-a news
paper published at Akureyri, in the
north of Iceland, during the explosion -
we find that the noise of the boiling of
the craters could be clearly heard twenty
miles away, and an intense red glare
filed the sky at night. The writer de-
scribes the lava as thrown in compact
column some three hundred feet high be-
fore breaking, accompanied by blush
stream, which expanded and whitened,
and rose straight into the air many hun.
dreds of fathoms, in spite of q strong
wind blowing.

A Singular Thing.

A writer in the Phrenological Journal
says, i'll referring to conversation held
with student, he spoke of the astonish-
ing effect the study of the Chinese Ian
guage had had on the shape of his fore
head. Over the eyes and all along the
region of the perceptive faculties there
seemed to be built on layer of bone a
quarter of an inch in thickness, and
about half or three-quarters of an inch
in width. "You see," said he, {" the
study of the Chinese language calls into
exercise only the perception and mem
ory. Instead of one or two nasal sounds,
as we have in our language, they have
thirteen, and it is the most difficult mat
ter at first for an American to distinguish
between them" Then he gave examples
of these different nasal sounds, but to
my uneducated ear they seemed quite
alike. "For eighteen months, he said,
"we did little but study the language,
and during that time my forehead
changed wonderfully in shape. 1t used
to be smooth like yours, and uniformly
