Tho Latest idea In Pets.

One of the oldest pets that ever ex-
listed, says lady, writing to the Area
dian, belongs to little girl in Seventy
First Street. A visitor met her at the
gate last Summer with what she sup
posed was lunch-box under her arm
To the lady's surprise, a snake-ike
head ran out little way from the lunch
box, and the pet turned out to be q COM
mon mud turtle. Some one had brought
the creature home a year or so before,
and let it loose in the garden. When
the children began to play there, out
from its hole came the turtle, and sing
ling out this child, gave evidence Of in
telligence beyond belief.
The turtle was called Pedro, and the
little girl had bat to call that name two
or three times at the back door, to see
the old box waddling up from the bot
tom of the garden-directly. Any one
else approaching or attempting famil-
iarities, the clumsy feet were drawn
promptly in, and the wise old head re-
tired within its shell, and no sign of life
would Pedro give. But let the child
take it, and the claws close round one Of
her fingers, and the head run out TO its
fullest extent Of neck, would be wag-
gled against her with every token Of
love a turtle could give,
There came time during the Sum
mer when the little mistress was sick.
The mother, sitting in the dusk, thought
she saw dark object moving in the
room, and shortly after, hearing bump
ing on the stairs, went out, and found
it was Pedro returning to his hole in
the yard. Each day for weeks, with the
opening of the outside door, in would
walk Pedro. The girl generally found
him waiting on the steps. he would
go to the stairs, stand upright in cor
ner, and setting his little feet into the
stair above, pull himself up. This op-
Grafton he would repeat until he reached
the landing. If the door into the sick
child's room was closed, he waited pa
tiently to be allowed to enter. When
taken up, and laid beside its mistress,
it made no effort TO move, but lay for
hours with its solemn head Wagging
from side to side. At night it waddled
TO the stairs, and thon the racket COM
menced, as it fell of each step in q
clumsy fashion, sounding like that IA
nous clock in the Ingoldsby legends
that went hopping after Mr.. Ap. Jones.

The simple facts recorded in this
story occurred in city not many miles
from here. It would be impossible for
such . case TO happen in New York.
We are the personifcation of charity.
We are angels and this is paradise |
Therefore, / wish Il distinctly under
stood that write Of g pitiful case" :"
as the papers call it, which came under
my notice, in distant city, years ago.
As q rule physicians are the most
charitable men. They may not give
fortunes away in arms but their time,
which to them is money, is freely given
TO the suffering, in more cases than one
might suppose, without money and
without price" It was upon freezing
cold night that young physician step
ped into the warm, well-hghted Office Of
q merchant prince. The doctor was
poor and needy his coat was worn and
threadbare, and furnished but little pro-
lection against the cold Of the season,
because he labored among the poor, and
gave his time to those who were unable
to pay for it.
The merchant was q pious, "emi-
nently respectable member Of society.
He was the mainstay Of church, the
promoter Of charitable schemes, and q
subscriber to all charities-which were
backed by influence, or conferred dis
tinction upon the giyer. The world at
large honored his name ; but the men
in his employ were wont to smile mys-
a--s.1- -. L.. nl.-stso- -, :. =.
toned In their hearing, and one of them
was heard to remark that he "never
moved man so well named" Now,
strange 10 say, this model mans name
was Cantter. -
So. into Mr.. Cantter's Office the
young physician walked with some tre-
pidation. but, being one of the world
ct large, was confident that he would be
heard, for he was on q begging expedi-
ton not for himself-he would rather
have died than beg-but for q poor boy
who lay in a tenement house in Dead
Mans roW-lay dying Of starvation. It
was to late TO save his hfe-that the doc
tor knew; but he hoped to raise sufi-
Gent money to make the boy comfotta-
BILE for the remnant of his life left him.
As he opened the door of the counting
room be saw Mr.. Cantter standing be-
fore the glowing CRATE FIRE, declaiming
nobly upon the beauties of true charity
10 his -book-keeper, who, being hard
pushed to live upon the pittance paid
him BY his employer, was hardly likely
to profit by the homily. ~. e =
and has not charity, it profteth
him nothing" said Mr.. Cantter, IN q
loud tone Of voice as the. door opened,
and the truth passed through his mind
that perhaps it was the pastor of his
church. The docter entered, and sud
denly the food Of eloquence which Mr..
Oantter was pouring upon the unresist-
ing clerk was huahed, for he knew the
d5ctor. and knew also that he was about

How to Tell a Horses Aeo.

The Journal Of h' Farm tells bow :.
know the age of a horse as follovs,
The colt is born with twelve grinda,a
When four front teeth have made fba;-
appearance, the colt is twelve davs olj
and when the next four come forth !,
is four weeks old. When the cornss
teeth appear, the colt is eight montS.
old; when the latter have attained toths
hight of the front teeth, it is one vsao ao
old. The two-year old colt has the To-
nerl 1.-THE substance in the middle of ~.
tooth's CROWN ground out in ali ~
front teeth. In the third year the mia
die front teeth are being shifted ana
when three years old these are snbSt;
tuted by the horse teeth. The next fo,--
teeth are shifted in the fourth wear enJ
the corner teeth in the fifth. Al az
years the kernel is worn out of the Lowe
middle front teeth, and the bride tasth
have now attained their full growth
At seven years hook has been formed
in the corner teeth of the upper law
the kernel of the next teeth at the mid
die is worn out, and the bride teeth ba.
gin to wear off. At eight wears fba
kernel is worn out of the lower front
teeth, and begins to decrease in The
middle upper front. In the ninth wear
the kernel has wholly disappeared from
the upper middle front teeth, the hook
on the corner has increased in size. and
the bride teeth lose their points In
the tenth year the kernel is worn ont n
the teeth next to the middle front of tbs
upper jaw, and in the eleventh wear tbe
kernel has entirely vanished from tbs
corner teeth of the same jaw. At twelve
years old the crown Of all the front teetb
in the lower jaw has become triangular
and the bride teeth are much worn
down. As the horse advances in age The
gums shrink away from the teeth, which
consequently, receive a long, marrow
appearance, and their kernels have be-
come metamorphosed into a darkisb
point, grey hairs increase in the fore
head and over the eyes, and the chin
assumes the form of an angle.

"Thank the Lord for that ~ she an
swered, fervently. 1.-THE poor boy can
die in peace, at any rate"
81 ordered the things sent up. Is he
asleep?"
" Unconscious-like, answered the
woman. His brain wanders little at
times"
A little morsel of boy lay upon a
bed-the unmistakable mark oEfamlne
in his face.
The doctor bent over him, and look
ing into his face moment, said to the
woman, standing silent at his side.
" His pain is over, He will prob
ably live until morning, but he will
never again be conscious"
The long night passed, day dawned,
and the boy still lived. The morning
wore on and church time came. Car
riages ratified up to the door of the
church and discharged their loads of
silks, satins and broadcloths. The
bowing ushers opened the doors of the
crimson-lined, luxurious pews, and the
congregation slowl Y assembled.
"What do you know of charity ? "
thought the doctor. Here, not more
than twenty feet from the pulpit of
your church, poverty re gns supreme;
yet not one of you all ever took the
trouble to look here for field of use
fulness. You give little from your
and plume yourselves upon
your charitable hearts; and from that
poor woman by the bed you might learn
much. She cheerfully gives what she
can-her time-in behalf of boy she
never saw before, and"
The organist of the church commenc-
ed the voluntary, and an exclamation
from the woman brought the doctor to
the bed. The little sufferer moved un-
easily, then a smile came upon his wan
face. a ar-away look in his eyes.
81 hear music" he murmured. Was
it the song of the angels, or the strain
of the grand organ that he heard ? Who
can tellP
"He is going FAST" whispered the
doctor. The woman was silently weep
ing, and covered her face with her
hands. And the first notes of Come,
We disconsolate, came to them from the
church. Again the far-sway look came
into his lips; his thin, white hand stir
red upon the bed. and while the last
strains still fingered upon the air, he
turned his face to the wall and SO died.
And as the man in the threadbare
coat and the woman in rags knelt by his
side and prayed silently, in the church
the preacher, clothed in broadcloth,
arose and gave ont his text; "Charity
covereth q multitude of SINS"
Silks and satins rustled as their
wearers seated themselves to listen, and
the sermon went on, and in glowing
language depicted the want and wretch
edness of the poor. and the vast congre-
cation listened with rapt attention.
Upon the speaker. too, the subject took
hold, and by degrees his GESTURES be-
came more natural and less studied, his
phrases more earnest and less glitter
ing.
So the sermon went on, and at last,
after thrilling appeal, the preacher
raised his jeweled hands, cast up his
eyes, and cried as though in agony,
"God help the poor r. and the vast con-.
gregation bowed, and softly murmured,
"God help the poor I"
And then-well, then the service was
ended, and preacher and congregation
went home to their dinners and the Al
mighty.

FLAX SEED FOR FEEDING CArrLR.-
The Flax Society of Ireland gives the
following advice on the manner Of using
fax seed for feeding cattle: The seed.
given by itself, is too strong and oily 70
be very wholesome food; and, besides
this, the miscellaneous matter prevents
the seed being bruised by the animals
teeth, or dissolved by the gastric Juice.
1t is much better to take the bolls to a
mill, where there are edge-stones, with
out threshing out the seed, and to have
them ground under the stones, set yery
close, or have the seed cracked in an
oat-bruiser; or the small farmer, when
no other means are within reach, may
use large metal pot, bedded in clay,
and pound the bolls in it with q hard
wood pestle, made to fit the bottom Of
the pot. About dozen strokes are suf-
ficient to make the bolls into fine meal.
The chat and seed, mixed together, ai-
ford most nourishing food. It may be
given to cattle steamed or boiled, but II
is best to steep the mixture from twelve
to twenty-four hours in cold water, and
then mix 1t up with luke-warm water to
the consistence of Cruel. It will have
formed q rich, fnely-dissolved Jelly,
easily digested, and Of the most whole
some and nutritious quality, excellent
to be given to cows, and producing
plenty Of milk and butter. It is also
good for horses, sheep or swine. A pint
of seed and half bushel of chat may
be given to COW at a feed. A farmer
who has experienced the advantages Of
saving the seed bolls Of his fax crop,
will never neglect it again, as they can
be turned to much advantage in one way
or another.

CHEAP AND CONVENIENT GATEs.-A
writer in the RuraI Home says: "I
have made gates to replace some old
fashioned bars that am heartily tired
of continually opening and shutting.
They are durable. and very easily made.
Each gate is twelve feet In length by
four in hight. Five boards, four inches
wide, are used, besides battens and
braces. Battens should be placed on
both sides. making three thicknesses to
nail through. It does not take more
than thirty-three feet Of boards, worth,
perhaps, sixty cents, to make each gate.
Add to that ten cents for nails, and the
value of one hour of your time, and you
have the whole expense. A gate Of this
kind will outlast framed one costing
four dollars; and, as no hinges are used,
that expense is saved also. It is held IN
position by means Of a stake driven ID
the ground, four or five inches from the
post; not in straight line, but Little
more than the thickness OF the gaze
toward the driveway, 80 that when
opened the gate can be turned. half way
around, and be parallel with the drive
way. It is kept few inches from the
ground by q strip nailed to both stake
and post, on which one end rests when
shut, and on which it slides half Its
length, and then swings around as on Q
pivot when opened. The strip is usu-
ally placed under the second board, IN
q space arranged for it, cutting away
two Of its hinges. A gate Of this kino
can be made in much less time and ates
little expense as a pair of bars, and Is
certainly much more convenient"
