Treatment of Shying Horses.

Shying generally arises from timid
ity, but sometimes it is united with
cunning, and induces the animal to as
sumo fear of some object for the sole
purpose of finding an excuse for turn
ing aside. The usual cause of shying
is, doubtless, the presence of some
object to which the horse has not been
accustomed, and if he has defective
eyes, which render him shortsighted,
it will be difficult to convince him of
the innocent nature of the novel OBJ
ject. There are endless peculiarities
III shying horses, some being dreadful
ly alarmed by one kind of object,
which to others is not at all formida-
bic. The best plan of treatment, which
can be adopted, is to take us little no
tice as possible of the shying, and to be
especially careful not to show any fear
of its recurrence when the alarming"
object appears in the distance. When
the horse begins to show alarm, but
not till then, the driver should speak
encouragingly to him, and, if neces-
sary, with severe tone, which may
even be supported 10y the use of the
whip, if his outward progress cannot
be otherwise maintained.
The principle, which should be car
ried out, is to adopt such measures as
will get the horse to pass the object at
which he SHES, somehow or other, and
this should be effected with as little
violence as possible, always commend
ing in an encouraging tone as soon as
the purpose is gained. Nothing has
so great tendency to keep up the
habit as the plan so common among
ignorant grooms of chastsing the shy
er after he has passed the object of his
alarm. If he can be persuaded to 60
quietly up to it, and examine it with
his muzzle, as well as with his eyes,
great good will be effected, but this
can seldom be done with moving vehi-
cles, and heaps of stones or piles of
sand are generally only alarming from
defective vision, so that each time they
assume new phase to the active mag
ination of the timid animal. Punish
nights only make high-couraged
animal worse, and the use of ''over-
checks rarely, if ever, prove bene-
fetal. Wilkes' Spirit.

What Daniel Webster Predicted,

In one of his speeches, in 1S49,
Daniel Webster said:
Twenty-seven years more and a
century shall witness a grand anniver-
sary. Many here this day will partici-
pate in the demonstration to be born
on the 4th day of July, 1876. 1t will
be proud day. The consultations,
robed in the azure light of sixty CEN
turtles, will attend the mornings first
rays. The great luminary of day will
rise in the east saluted by the roar of
ten thousand times ten thousand can
non. Our flag, combining ethereal
blue with the red and white, will wave
a greeting to the morning stars as they
retire to the chambers of the Almighty,
and veil their forms from mortal Wis
ion. The people will gather together
to rejoice and to celebrate with their
whole hearts. The Declaration of In
dependence will be read with the fer
vor and with the patriotism with
which it was read in 1776. Orators
will burn with the eloquence of John
Adams; the fife and drum will play
our National Anthem with martial
ardor; bands of music will swell the
chorus of the Star Spangled Banner,
and Hail Columbia will vibrate upon
the swell of each passing breeze. With
national salute to the sun as he sinks
from view behind the golden waves Of
the Pacific, bonfires will illuminate the
heavens, rockets will scream through
the air, and general joy will witness
the close of the pageant. Heaven
will look down approvingly, for this
people will never forget that in the
hollow of His hand is the destiny of
nations

The Rebellion Of the stomach.

The stomach obstinately rebels against all
efforts to make 1t digest superintendent or
indigestible food. When fit of dyspepsia
has been brought on by over-indulgeuce in
the pleasures OF the table, or any other
cause, the invalid can obtain from Hostel
tcr's Stomach Bitters prompter aud more
complete relief than from any other source.
This admirable specific net only renders d.
gestion active, but regulates the secretion
and distribution OF the bile, re-establshes \
regular habit of body when costivencss cx-
lists, restores the appetite, soothes and invig-
crates the nerves, and, il taken before retir-
ing, facilitates sleep. Under these happy
conditions, the dyspeptic or bilious subject
regains lost flesh, his spirits recover their
elasticity, and all the various and harassing
bodily and mental symptoms Of chronic in.
digestion disappear.

the front of the cottage, the hands and
figures being of ivory. Still another
clock was set in cottage OF the hum
bier sort-the making of which, how
ever, required greater art. Little
strokes of nature cleaned out here and
there most admirably. Thus, one end
of the cottage showed out of repair
and rather dismantled, as the very old
parts of dwellings frequently become.
The thatch had fallen through, and
some of the boards had become loos-
ened or had been broken off. Con-
trasted with this was the other end of
the cottage, which wore the brisk air
of newness throughout; everything
was trim and in good order. On the
railing of the porch was perched the
family-cat, with back raised up threat
eningly on account of the dog frisking
about on the grass-plat in front.
There were a hundred other pretty
devices in this work, all of which de-
serve mention. Among them were
dressing-cases, cigar-stands, vases,
iewel-boXes, all very deliberately
carved; while minor articles-such as
dessert-spoons, salad-forks, match
boxes--abounded in limitless quanti-
ties. Cuckoo-clocks, and clocks from
whose front. at the stroke of the Eour,
a huntsman emerged and blew shrill
blast on his horn, were also to be seen.
The American eagle was also to be
seen perched upon crag whose face
denoted the time of day. One of the
most intricate pieces represented the
Cathedral at Berne, with all its afllu-
encesof ornamentation.

land.

The Philadelphia correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune describes as fol-
lows some specimens of wood-carving
on exhibition in the Switzerland De-
partment at the Centennial:
The charming little village of Brienz,
Switzerland, has a population of 800
people, of whom all, with the excep-
ton of the very young children, are
engaged in wood-carving. The mate
rails are at their doors. for there grow
the walnut and the maple, while it is
not far up to the range of the pine.
The two former woods are the favor
ties for this kind of work, and their
colors blend happily in inlaying. 1t is
not customary TO paint the wood-the
beauty depending upon the graceful
shapes which it takes at the hand of
the artist-a beauty which would be
impaired rather than aided by artifi-
clal adornments. Many Of the speci-
mems here represent heads of cattle,
dogs or horSes-the size varying from
three to twelve inches in length.
These are all most carefully executed,
giving, even in the smaller pieces, not
only the main features, but the round
lngs of muscle and swelling of vein,
the wrinkles of the skin, all in their APP
propriate order and delicately brought
out. | noticed one piece showing sew
eral of the st. Bernard dogs climbing
rocky steep: and the likeness was
perfect, even to the buckets strapped
around their necks.
Another pretty piece was Swiss
chalet, combining the clock and the
muslc-box. 1t represented a first-class
residence, of the peculiar and agreea-
bic architecture of the country, having
the tall roof and the wide gables. The
dial was urostentatiously placed upon

The sun is Intellectual for evil; so are

Preserving Meadows.

This is done more etfectually by Civ
ing a coat of manure Immediately after
the crop is removed, as the removal of
the crop exposes the roots of the grass
to the scorching rays of the sun; and
as they are not used to this heat, hav-
ing been protected by the grass, they
feel the effect the more readily. Where
there is gravel or sand, and the crop is
cut short, leaving the roots directly
exposed, the hurt will extend not only
to the injury of the crop which is to
follow, but to the entire loss of it.
The sun will scorch the SOD until it be-
comes red and parched. This is so to
greater or less extent in all seasons,
though more in case of drouth and Sc
we're heat. Where there is a coat of
bottom grass, or the soil is light-col-
ored clay, the evil is less. In such a
case, if the season is moist and but
moderately warm, there is no harm at
all. But there are exceptional cases,
take them throughout the country.
We know meadows that are left ex-
posed to the rays of the sun
with the stubble cut close, and yet
no harm results; and these meadows
have lain, and been treated in this
way, with no top-dressing or fertiliz-
ers, from five to eight years, and each
year improves the crop. The secret is,
the grass i. permitted to grow without
being fed off, forming a thick mat Of
protection; and the soil is light-col-
ored drift with large preponderance
of clay. Meadows side by size of
these, with the aftermath fed off, are
failures.
Thus we see what protection grass
itself is. So with the manure, to a
greater or less extent, depending upon
the nature of the manure whether long
or short, whether pure manure or com
post, and how applied. But any ma
nure, finely and evenly applied, will
protect the roots of grass from the sun,
and more or less from the frost. Let
the manure be Immediately applied as
soon as hay is removed, and let it be
evenly spread and pulverized; this is
important, this spreading evenly and
finely. When this is properly done,

The Proper Time to Fell Trees.

On this subject J. II. Moore, of Oak
ley, Ark, writes as follows, in the Ger
mantoaon Telegraph:
Thirty-one years ago | was engaged
in clearing up large plantation, and
building houses, stables, etc, with logs
cut from the woods. / soon disco,
cred that there was difference in the
lasting Of different trees of the same
kind. ! also noticed that, in killing
the trees to clear the land, some trees
would decay much earlier than others !;
and that trees girdled in the early
spring, just before the budding of the
leaf, would rot off at the place where
the tree was girdled; and that trees
girdled in August would soon decay in
the sap wood and bark, but that the
heart would remain sound for years.
The conclusion | came to was that the
presence of sap in wood caused it to
decay, and that the sap left the body
of the tree during the time it was
making leaves, new sap wood and
bark and thus at the fall of the leaf
the sap went into the heart OF body of
the tree.
If any one Will cut green tree aft
er the fall of the leaf, and put one end
in hot fire, he will soon see sap ooze
out of the whole stick, even in the
middle; but cut stick after full leaf
and the sap will run out near the bark
All timber that lasts well has but little
sap at any time; all timber that decays
easily has a great deal of sap, such,
for instance, as the sugar maple, elder
and sycamore. All carpenters have
seen large timbers that were perfectly
rotten in the middle, while the outside
was apparently sound This decay
must have been caused by the presence
of something besides heat and moist
ure. AS the outside was sound while
the inside was decayed, this must have
been sap and nothing else.
