The Best Color In Horses.

We extract the following from DIR. Horne's
address at the Outagamie County (Wis)
Agricultural fair:
are the colors l prefer Horses of these
colors find to be freer from disease than
those OF other shades, and most certainly
do hold them up in the front rank for their
general qualifcations-speed, stamina, do
cility, size, and beauty conformation.
Don't misunderstood mel know color
does not make the difference, but the Pc
culiar organization which makes the col
or docs
No doubt many of you have heard the
Arab legend of how, when q father and
son were holly pursued by mounted foe,
the father was anxious to learn the color
ofthe leading horses, and said unto the
| son:
"Selim I"
He answered, "Here am ], o my father
Said the father: "Get thee behind and
take note of the color of the horses i'm adj
vance 2"
He did so, and reported eight gray
"Then," said the father, ''may we take to
the sandy desert, for thither they cannot
follow u.s."
A second time the observation was re-
peated, when the son reported "black
horses"
"Then," said the sire, 'let us turn to the
stony country, for surely they may not
there overtake u.s."
A third and last time was Seim sent be-
hind, and upon reporting chestnut" as
the color of the leaders, was asked by his
father:
Are they dark or light 2"
Upon receiving the answer, "They are
dark chestnut, o, my iatherr" the father
cried aloud:
"Then Allah preserve u.s. for we are lost
as there is no country where they cannot
surely follow u.s."
This anecdote relate, simply to show
what the tradition of q nation of people
noted for their breeding and management
OF horses, goes to prove as regards color.
Among the light chestnuts, enormously
called sorrels, are to be found nine tenths
OF skittish, balky, and otherwise unpleas
ant qualities much to be feared and reject
cd. Black horses have more faulty eyes
and feet than other colors, according TO
my observation. The varions dapple grays
are much more subject to warts and other
tumors than other colors. Yet, of all other
colors, have seen qualities both to be re-
jected and admired. Among the buck
skin and the various shades Of cream and
spotted, we often have powers ofendurance
which are quite astonishing, and some.
times speed also {; but these colors are OBJ
jectionablc, not being at any time fashion
able, and therefore not so marketable.
Still the old saying is yet good "a
good horse is seldom bad color" But |
must leave this part ofmy subject, still ad-
herring to my previous observation, that
the dark chestnut, true bay, and dark
brown are the colors TO perpetuate, as in
them we have all the requisites, both OF
endurance, speed, size, docility, and these,
| believe, fill the whole bill us to all re-
quirements or needs

How Freddy Saw The Sun Rise

BY ETA NJ. BURT.
Awake, my darling brother,
IT'S time that you should rise;
The little birds are singing,
The sun is in the skies.
You promised me last night
When kneeling by my side,
In the calm moons silyery light,
That to day you'd take ride,
Before the sun would rise,
Just when the dawn was breaking,
Before the wild bird flies,
Before the lambs are waking.
With your tiny white hands claspcd,
Upon your sisters knee,
You said "God bless us one and all,
And keep this little me-"
Then took you dearest one
And sang till you asleep,
And begged Gods saints and angels all
My darling one to keep.
Then watched you as you slept,
There pillowed on my breast,
Your bright black eyes half closed in sleep,
Your busy brain at rest;
And thought what life would be
Without my dearest Fred;
What wild the earth would be
If my treasured one were dead.
And my heart like dew drops fell
On your clustering golden hair.
Oh my darling little one!
My brother, bright and fair!
But wake my little Freddy,
Your hands are very cold,
Your face is white rs marble,
Your clustering curls of gold
Seem clnging to your brow,
With innocent delight,
But wake, awaken now,
You've slept so sound all night,
lie does not seem TO hear;
lie does not move or start
Oh lIeayens q terrible fear
Is stealing DER my heart.
His hands are cold and stiff;
OH speak oh speak, my Fred.
His heart has ceased to beat,
Great God my brothers. dead
Yes is sweet baby Fred
Beyond the sun rise now,
He's numbered with the dead,
Deaths sweat is ON his brow.
Thus he breathed away his soul,
Aud SCARED on angels wings
Up to the land of gold.
Now Gods own praise he sings.
Oh God, protect us all,
And when our death grows nigh,
Then our freed spirits call
70 our home beyond the sky.

.M. Editor Of The AgiS G MteNigcnccr:
AS there is great deal of rivalry everywhere
in the political field, in the social circle, and
even in the church, therefore you might expect
it in the business profession. This rivalry in
business has reached the climax in the stove
trade.
Ever since the TIMES COOK took the Gold
Medal for quick baking it has been attacked by
jealous rivals, but since it has taken the lead
of all tirst.class Cook Stoves in Baltimore and
bids fair to finally superccde them. 1t has in
Cured the spite and envy of those who could
not secure the sale Off so much so that they
take our double fire shield cross piece and I'M
crew them and show buyers onG.half and say
also say it will not bake well, draw WELL Is not
No. iron, &C., &c.
So the only security for buyers is to come di-
rect TO No 96 n, Gag Street, near Front Street,
and see for themselves if the TIMES COOK
isn't the largest, heaviest, most economical and
best BAKING STOVE ever made. Every one
of the TIMES COOK is guaranteed To bake per.
fecty.
The reason can sell them so cheap is that |
am connected with the "QuakertoWn Stove
Works." and we make them ourselves, so yon
buy from first hands No two profits at Young
Gluck's.
We do say it is the heaviest, largest and the
best working stove ever offered for sale.
Nearly eight thousand sold.

Story OF n Ten.DOllar Bill.

A very amusing story of the romance
of ten-dollar bill is told in the Albany
Argus. A Cohoes, n. Y, man was
recently sent to the penitentiary in de-
fault of ten dollars to pay his fine. A
highly esteemed Trojan, feeling an inter
est III the impecunious citizen, proceed
ed to Albany and paid the fine with ten
dollar bill to a Deputy Superintendent
of the penitentiary. The Deputy SUI
perintendent handed the ten-dollar bill
over to convict whose term had expired,
and who was only waiting for the GUS
tomary donation to long-term prisoners
before leaving. The liberated convict
proceeded to the business part of Alba
ny and attempted to purchase goods with
the money. The merchant, CHANGING
doubtfully at the convict garb, concluded
that he must be willful passer Ct coun-
terfeit money, and straightway the free
man of an hour found himself again un-
der lock and key. The for once unjustly
accused ex-convict communicated by
messenger with the Deputy Superintend-
ent, who soon appeared and freed him.
The Deputy shortly afterward startled
the estimable Trojan by appearing at his
Office and demanding eleven dollars to
make good the suspected bill and his
expenses. The demand was suitably
honored and the Trojan received back
the supposed counterfeit. A number of
Troy experts then pronounced the bill
perfectly good, and the Trojan tele-
graphed to the Deputy Superintendent
to return the surplus dollar paid for trav-
cling expenses. Here was an unfortunate
ex-convict prosecuted, an estimable Tro-
jan suspected and jealous prison Off
cial put to great deal of unnecessary
trouble and some unnecessary expense,
all for the reason that an Albany mer-
chant dumped at conclusions and de-
cided that ten-dollar bill in the hands
of penitentiary guest must necessarily
be q counterfeit.

Hints as to Beauty.

There is nothing more unfortunate to
female beauty than late hours. Women
who, either from necessity or choice,
spend most of the day in bed, and the
night in work or dissipation, have always
q pale, faded complexion and dark
trimmed, wearied eyes. Too much sleep
is almost as hurtful as too little. and is
sure to give the person unwholesome
fat. Diet, also, has marked influence
upon personal beauty. A gross and ex-
cessive indulgence in eating and drink
ing is fatal to the female charms, espe-
cially when there is great tendency to
making flesh" Regularity of time in
the daily repast and good cooking are
the best means of securing not only good
health, but good looks. The appetite
should never be wasted during the in
tervals between meals on pastry, con-
fectionery, or any other ticker of the
appetite, which gratifes the taste but
does not support the system. Exercise
is, of course, essential to female beauty,
1t animates the whole physical life
quickens the circulation of the blood
heishteps the color, develops the growth
and perfects the form of each limb anC
the entire body. 1t also gives beaut,
and grace to each movement.

The Day YOn were Born.

Here is an infallible method of discov-
sring the day of the week on which a
given day of the month any number of
years previous occurred. To the num-
Der representing your age at your next
birthday add one-fourth for leap-years;
this amount divide by 7, and the re-
mainder counted back from the day Of
the week ON which You were born. For
instance, on your next birthday you will
be "a years old. This divided by 4,
and the quotient, 6, added to 81, gives
30, the amount, which, divided by Z,
the number OF days in week, gives four
weeks ana the remainder of two days.
Now, if your birthday in 1876 comes on
Monday, count back two days, and you
have the day on which you were born,

Queen Elizabeth.

When the unhappy, bloody, fiery,
heart-broken Mary died, everybody was
glad. Was there ever so sad a thing
Instead of weeping, the people rang joy
bells and lit bonfires, to show their de-
light. How glad they were to be rid of
her and not much wonder. The name
of Elizabeth rang joyfully through the
London streets and over all England as
soon as the breath was gone out of her
sisters worn and suffering frame. Eliza
beth was 25; it has been the fashion to
speak of her as old and ugly just as it
has been the fashion to speak of her
cousin Mary, the Queen of Scots, as
beautiful; but in reality these two queens
were like each other. l suppose Mary
Stuart must have had more natural
fascination than Elizabeth possessed
but, though you may be surprised to
hear it, her features, according to her
portraits, were very like those of the
English Queen, who was handsome
and splendid princess, with imperious,
delightful manners, frank and gracious,
though easily angered and passionate,
and the most popular of all English SOW
ereigns. History is not fond of this
great woman, and much IL has been
spoken of her and she did many cruel
and terrible things, and probably shed
much more blood in her long reign than
Bloody Mary did in her short one but
| the people always loved Elizabeth
loved her at the beginning, and loved
her to the end. This might be quite
unreasonable, but still it was the fact
All that Mary did has been judged
hardly, and almost all that Elizabeth die
has been judged favorably. Such injus
tees are not unusual ; they occur still
every day.
Elizabeth was rs fond of pageaptry as
her father, Wherever she went it was
in state, making progresses every
where; slow manner OF travelling, bu
very amusing for the. people, you may
be sure, who thus had so many fnC
shows provided for them, and such al
we have no chance of nowadays. A
Elton (Which. as 1 have already told you
is close to Windsor), the boys and til,
masters all came out and made Latir
speeches to her, and presented her will
books full of verses, all beautiful,
written out in Greek and Latin, TO
which you may suppose all the sixth
form had been cudgeling their brains TO
weeks before, and in which the praise
of the great Elizabeth were sung til
words could go no further. Probabl,
the fine ladies' and the fine gentlemel
we're often tired of those speeches; bu
, Elizabeth, who was herself a grea
| scholar, listened to them all, and woul
, now and then find out false quantit

AS the derivation from the French
dozaine implies, it is generally supposed
that dozen implies twelve things, but
in Staffordshire potteries, and in the
earthenware trade, queensware in Phila-
delphia, and crockery in other places, a
dozen to this day represents that number
of any special article which can be
offered at fixed price. That is, the
price is fixed, and the number to the
dozen varies. For instance, the pitchers
which are called "jugs" in the trade are
sold at 2, 3, A, 6, 9, IL, Is, 20, 30, 30
pieces to each dozen, the price for a
dozen being constant. The ordinary
pitcher. holding quart, is twelve, or
twelve to the dozen, whiie pint
pitcher is a twenty-four to the dozen,
