4 ToUng Statesman.

The other day, when Vicksburg boy
had trouble with his neighber's boy and
came out first best, he realized that some
thing must be done at home, and he slid
nto the house and said:
Mother, you know how good and kind
you have been to Mrs. B., next door,"
'Yes, I've tried to be good neighbor
TO her.
"Wel, do you know that she says you
c.ean your teeth with whitewash brush,
and that father ought to have pension
for living with your
lie slid out, and when Mrs. B. reached
the gate, on her way to the house to ask
why her boy must be pounded up in that
way, she heard a shril voice call out:
"Vile wretch, don't you enter that gate
Or you'll get scalded"
She returned home, and the young
statesman dropped down under shade
tree, kicked up his heels, and softly chuck
led:
"That settles her, and now ] want to
catch her Tom again for just fourteen

Oil, hardly to be distinguished from
olive oil by any one but an expert, may
be extracted from the seeds, in the pro-
portion of one gallon to one bushel.

fifty bushels Of seeds The seeds too,

Beecher as a SchOolb0y.

Mrs. Stowe gives characteristic account
of Il grammatical exercise at which her broth
er, Henry Ward Beecher, assisted in his
school days. The teacher was drilling her
pupil in the rudiments:
'Now, Henry" said she, "a is the de
finite article, you see, and must be used
only with the singular number. You can
say {. man. but you can't say "a men,, can
your"
eyes, I can say "a men, too was the
rcjoinder. Father Gays it always at the
end of his prayers"
Come, Henry, don't be joking: decline
'ne. :"
"Nominative he, posaessive his, objective
him"
"You see, his is possessive. Now you
can say 'his book, but you can't say him
book
Yes, l do say hymn book, too;" sail
the impracticable pupil, with qnizzical
twinkle
Each one of these sallies made his young
teacher laugh, which was the victory be
wanted.
"But now, Henry seriously, just attend
to the active and passive verb. Now 4
strike is active, you see, because if you
strike, you do something But, 4 am
struck is passive, because if you are struck
you don't do anything, do your"
''Yes, do; strike back again
After about ak months, Henry was re
turned to his parents hands, with the rep
utarius of being an inyeterate joker auGI n
Indifferent scholar.

TRAINING A HORSE TO TRoT. =

TRAINING A HORSE TO TRoT. A
correspondent of the Turf, Field and
Farm tells how he trained an old cavalry
horse to trot. He was accustomed to
slope. and could not be made to under
stand what was required of him, until
a space of som e400 yards was measured
off in 4 field. anu he was ridden across
this. Whenever he broke he was scold-
ed at once turned about and again
started from the starting rolnt. If he
trotted across without breaking he was
petted, fed Jumps of sugar, apples or
some other pleasant food. In this way
he soon learned what was wanted, and
made every effort TO trot this distance in
the shortest time, becoming a horse OF
unusual speed. A somewhat similar
plan was some years since set forth IN
n circular and sold at one dollar.
We refer to this now, not so much
because of desirability Of knowing how
to teach horse to trot, as because the
lesson taught can be applied in very
many ways. Teaching any domestic
animals what is expected of them is of
the greatest Importance. If an animal
knows that specified duty is required,
so be followed by rest or reward, it will
much more readily do what is expected
than if it has no definite conception of
what is before it.

Common washerwomen spoil every
thing with soda; and nothing is more
frequent than to see the delicate tints of
lawns and percales turned into dark
blotches and muddy streaks by the igno-
rance of laundress. 1t Is worth while
for ladies to pay attention to this, and
insist upon having their summer dresses
washed according to the directions which
they should be prepared to give their
laundresses themselves. In the first
place the water should be tepid, the
soap should not be allowed to touch the
fabric, it should be washed and rinsed

Exciting Race between Yacht and a
Tug,

The following good enc is from the
Cleveland PLAN Dealer:
There is a good deal of stir among our
local yachtman in view of the approaching
regatta at Detroit. Commodore 5, of the
Plain Dealer news room, is particularly
excited. The Commodore owns the yacht
Betsy Jane Yesterday he was off the
harbor putting her through few maneu-
vers. The Conmodore's yacht Is a beauty
and sits on the water "like thing of life. >

modore's marine eye caught sight of tug
in the distance. The old salt Immediately
oosed his studdlng sails, hauled in his
poop, slushed the decks, sphced the main
jib, hauled her up snug on the larboard
side, fred gun to leeward, beat all hands
to quarters and bore down on the tug.
Here, thought the Commodore, is a good
chance to test the sailing abilities of the
Betsy Jane, and perhaps get pull. All
sail was crowded on, two or three barrels
o. pc troleum were chucked into the furnace
the crew were called aft and had the riot
act read to them, and the race begun. 1t
was moment Of Intense excitement On the
Betsy Jane. The Commodore entaused
his men with the prospect of the greatest
yacht achievement on record. The tug
people did not seem much put out, but the
Commodore imagined their calmness was
but the calmness of pent up emotion and
excitement.
At last, the Commodore and his gallant
crew, seeing shat they were holding their
own with the tug, could not restrain them
selves longer, and broke out in series of
Comanche yells. This walked up The tug
engineer aud he asked what they were
yelling about, Why" said Commodore

Doctors disagree on the subject of
pruning. Lindley, speaking for Eng.
says the best time for pruning is usually
winter or midsummer. kenrick advises
heavy pruning to be done between the
coming out Of the frost in the spring
and the opening of the leaf; moderate
pruning in june or July Downing
thinks that, practically, a fortnight be-
fore midsummer is by far the best season
on the whole, for pruning in the North
ern or Southern states. Cole prefers
june, July, or August for moderate
pruning, and considers the spring as the
worst season. Barry says that in Yves
tern New Y ork apples and other hardy
fruits are pruned as soon as the severe
frosts are over. Thomas, in the Amer
lean Fruit Culturist, takes decided
ground in favor of winter pruning. Ae-
cording to Dr. Warder, pruning Is done
IN summer for fruit, in winter for wood.
Summer pruning promotes fruitfulness,
because it threatens life. Hence, al
though advantageous in one respect, it is
injurious in another. All pruning with
a design to regulate the shape of the tree
should be done in winter, or rather du-
ring the season of rest included between
the fall of the leaf and the starting OF
the sap in spring, The colder the
climate and the more tender the tree,
the later should the pruning be done.
In this climate, and in ordinary years,
the apple, the pear and the ounce may
be pruned during any part Of the season

A party of railway engineers is making
survey of a route across Newfoundland at the
expense of the government of that colony in
order that correct estimate may be formed
as TO the obstacles in the way of building this
important enterprise. This contemplated line,
which will be about $50 miles in length, is a
part of the great scheme for shortening the
ocean travel between Europe and America.
There is another labor trouble in ST. John.
This time it is begun by the Laborer's Associa-
ton who refuse to load vessels unless non-so-
ciety men are discharged. The business men
refuse to comply with such a demand and a
general strike is the result. Friday there were
apprehensions of riot bat none occurred.
Arrangements have been made for a Provin-
cial industrial exhibition at st. John to begin
Sept. Z and continne one week. Arrangements
are being made to secure full exhibition of
the manufactures of New Brunswick.

In the famous Penobscot district there are
or have been two gentlemen whom their

willing to go to Congress. 1t was he of
Penobscot who informed our friend that he
wasn't in for the nomination, and not he who
writes Powers after his "Lew." In fact, so
many people are telling about the fourth dis
trict candidacy that in order not to mix
people the whole names of aspirants should
be given, as in college catalogues. A score
of Mr.. Powers's friends stated to several
gentlemen "outside" that he was not con-
testant. Lest there should be any mistake
about it, we repeat that Llewellyn Powers,
Esq, of Houlton is in the field for nomina-
tion, and that the whole matter was agreed
upon at Mr.. Woodward's excellent hotel in
