Trusted His Horse.

Much has been said and written relative
10 the sagacity of animals, including, for
instance, the ability of a horse, after his
rider shall have lost his way, 10 find the
proper course if allowed a free rein. A
case in point occurred a few nights since,
when DR.. Fisher was driving in from the
County Hospital. . Ii was an exceedingly
dark night, and the doctor when in the
vicinity of Twenty eight street, being I'M
able to tell whether he was driving in the
there was a culvert and deep ditch at the
roadside, to trust to his horse. The noble
animal, finding herself free, accepted the
responsibility, and the doctor discovered
that she was changing their course. A
few minutes later horse, buggy and driver
were rolling over and over in the ditch,
the brute of a horse having deliberately
moved from the center of the road, where
the travelling was good, to its outer edges,
and tumbled the whole turnout off the end
of the ~culvert, a fall of about eight feet al
most perpendicular, The doctor, finding
himself uninjured, endeavored to make
out where he was, but the darkness was
too great. Presently, however, two citi-
zens came along in a buggy and, being
called to, lit matches and paper, and
lighted up the scene sufficiently to give
the key to the "situaiion.n Singularly
enough neither horse nor buggy had SUI,
fercd much, and they were soon got back
upon the highway. The DOCTORS belief
in the sagacity of animals has been shaken.

The Decay Of Glaciers.

FROM a comprehensive article in Hdr
pe7's by John Muir, upon the above sub
ject, we extract the following:
A glacier is a current of ice derived
from snow. Complete glaciers of the
first order take their rise on the mount
aims, and descend into the sea, just as al
complete rivers of the first order do. Ii
North Greenland the snow supply and
general climatic conditions are such thai
its glaciers pour directly into the ocean,
and so undoubtedly did those of the Pa,
ciic slope during the flush times of the
glacial epoch; but now the world is SC
warm and the o crop so scanty nearly
all the glaciers left alive have melted to
mere hints of their former selves. The
Lyell Glacier is now less than a mile
long; yet, setting out from its frontal
moraine, we may trace its former course
on grooved and polished surfaces, and by
immense canon and moraines, a distance
of more than forty miles.
The glaciers of Switzerland are in a
like decaying condition as compared with
their former grandeur; so also are those
Of Norway, Asia and South America.
They have come to resemble the short
rivers of the eastern slope of the Sierra
that flow out into the hot plains and are
dried up. According to the Schlagintweit
brothers the glaciers of Switzerland nell
at an average elevation above the level OF
the sea of 7,414 feet. The glacier Of
Grindewald melts at less than 1900 feet
that of the Aar at about 5000. The Him.
alaya Glacier, in which the Ganges takes
its rise, does not, according to Capt.
Hodgeson, descend below 12,914 feet. The
average elevation at which the glaciers of
the Sierra melt is not far from 1900 feet
above sea-level. p

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

To Cook TURNIPs.-Wash quite clean,
do not peel or cut or soak. Boil them
whole in their Jackets" When, by try
ing them with a fork, they are found quite
tender, take them up, peel them, press
moderately and mash with butter.
CREAM TAPIocA.-Soak two-thirds of a
cup of tapioca in warm water till soft; boil
a quart of milk with the yelk of three
eggs, well beaten, and two-thirds of a cup
of sugar. Boil till thick, stirring care
fully; beat the whites of the eggs with
two-thirds of a cup of white sugar, flavor
and pour on top of the pudding. Set in
the oven to brown.
To CLEAN GLAss.-This mode OF clean
ing fine glass gives it a great b%rilliancy:
Take fine powdered indigo, dip into it a
moistened linen rag, smear over the glass
with it and then wipe it off with a per-
| fectly dry cloth. AS a substitute for this,
fine sifted ashes applied by a rag dipped
in spirits will answer just as we'll. Span
ish white is apt to make the glass rough
and injure it.-American Agriculturist.
PATHS AND RoADs.-Icy paths and
roads are dangerous to man and beast.
After every fall of snow the roads should
be broken down by a snow-plow or q
stone boat, and the paths shoveled out or
packed down in a similar manner. A
heavy plank drawn along the paths will
clear off or pack down the o Coal
ashes or sand are the best material to
scatter upon roads and paths when they
become smooth and slippery.
To MAKE Doors DURABLE.-The dura-
bility of soles of boots and shoes may be
greatly increased by coating them with
gum copal varnish, which also has the eff
feet of making them waterproof. -Four
or five coats should be given, allowing
each coat of varnish to dry before the sue
ceeding one is applied. Soles thus treat
ed possess twice the usual durability, and
generally outlast the best uppers. The
leather uppers of boots or shoes may be
rendered soft and waterproof by rubbing
into them while warm, before the fire, a
mixture composed of four ounces of hogs
fat and Il of rosiE.-OHi0 Farmer.

Keeping Apples.

AS II crop is short and prices have
ruled high, it is all the more important
to preserve apples in the best condition.
The main element of success is a low and
uniform temperature, just above freezing.
The house-ccllar is the farmers fruit
room in winter and if properly managed
answers the purpose perfectly. But there
is a great deal of carelessness in guarding
against extreme zero nights and the apples
and vegetables are frequently frozen be-
fore the owner suspects any danger.
Banking the under-pinning with a thick
mat of leaves, straw, old hay or
boughs will keep out the frost. These
are within reach of every farmer and are
easily kept in place with boards or poles.
But some cellars are very moist and the
temperature is likely to be too high rather
than too low. This can be remedied by
having a window that can be shut or
opened at pleasure. By consulting a
thermometer, which costs but a trifle, it
is quite easy to keep the temperature in
the cellar between thirty-two and forty de-
grecs, which is even enough for all prac-
tical purposes. The apples keep better in
barrels or in small tight packages than
IN open piles or shelves, because they do
not feel the changes so soon. For the
same reason some wrap each apple in
paper or pack them in sawdust or land
plaster. This requires a considerable
labor, but nice fresh apples in May and
June are worth working for. In dry
cork sawdust they keep sufficiently well
without wrappers. If this is not available,
dry hardwood sawdust should be used
in preference to pine or other r%esinous
woods. These affect the odor and some
times the taste of the apples. If no pack
ing is used the barrels should be over
hauled once a month, and if ny decayed
apples are found they should be carefully
removed. Keep the barrels headed. Look
at the thermometer every night and morn
ing. If too warm let in more cold air,
if too cold shut the window entirely. 1t
takes but a moment to regulate the tenn
p%erature. BY this simple process we
have never failed to keep winter apples
in good condition until spring,-Amerlcan

UndOing.

Mr.. JOSEPH BARKER was for some
years a noted English infidel lecturer. He
died a short time since at Omaha, and the
following account of the last scene is made
public by his son, Joseph Barker, Jr.:
A few days before the closing scene he
made a final arrangement of his affairs,
and, feeling that paralysis was approach
ing, he called his eldest n Mr.. Gilbert,
his lawyer, and Mr.. Kellom, one of his
trustees, to his bedside, and said: feel
that l am approaching my end, and de-
sire that you should receive my last words
and be witness to them; | wish you to
witness that l am In my right mind, and
fully understand what l have just been
doing; and, dying, that l die in the firm
and full belief of Jesus Christ, and in the
faith and love of His religion as revealed
in His life and works, as described in the
New Testament; that | have an abiding
faith in and love OF God, as God is re-
vcaled to US by his Son Jesus Christ; and
l die trusting in Gods infinite love and
mercy, and in full faith of a future and
better life. I'M sorry for my past errors
but during the last years of my lite have
striven to undo the harm l did by doing
all l was able to serve God by showing
the beauty and wisdom of the religion of
his Son Jesus Christ. wish you to write
down and witness this my last confession
of faith, that there may be no doubt about
it." We commend this to the attention Of
young men especially.

A Pi0us Daughter.

CHILDREN, says the Rev. W. Jay, have
conveyed religion TO those from whom
they ought to have derived it. "Well,"
said a mother one day, weeping, her
daughter being about to make a public
profession of religion by going to the
Lords table, 81 will resist no longer.
How can 1 bear to see my dear child love
and read the Scriptures while Inever look
into the Bible; to see her retire and seek
God while never pray; to see her going
to the Lords table while His death is moth.
ing to me!!' "Ah," said she to the miu-
lister who called to inform her of her
daughters intention, wiping her eyes,
"Yes, sir, l know she is right, and l am
wrong. Ihave seen her firm under re-
proach, and patient under provocation,
and cheerful in all her sufferings. When
in her late illness she was looking for dis
solution, heaven stood in her face. Oh,
that l was fit TO die! l ought to have
taught her, but l am sure she has taught
me. How can l bear to see her joining
the church of God and leaving me behind
perhaps forever!!" From that hour she
prayed in earnest that the God OF her child
would be her God, and was soon seen
walking with her in the way everlasting.

New Year Thoughts.

At the beginning OF a new year every
farmer ought TO review the past years OPP
e~rations and endeavor to draw from his
successes and failures lessons which will
be Of great value to him in the coming
years labors. We believe one of the
most serious obstacles to success, among
farmers, is a want of close observation
and comparison OF results. Very rarely
are account kept with fields, crops or
stock, and, whether failure or success at
led to them are not sought for. The same
thing is repeated next year, the same err
rors Numbered into, with invariably the
same results. A careful record of sue.
cesses and failures of the year, with OBJ
servation of causes, probable or certain,
would help very much in the plans for the
year to come. The time is most fayora-
bic for this retrospection and the forming
and perfecting plans for the future. 1t is
not only the close Of a year, but it is the
actual close OF a seasons work on the
farm. Every crop has been garnered and
sold, perhaps, even to the hog crop itself,
and no other entries are required. 1t is a
season of comparative leisure, also, CIV
ing plenty of time for this most important
work. No wise man, whatever his occu.
patton, will neglect this cleaning-up proc
ess-this starting anew. Such a system
places guideboards, so to speak, at every
turn OF the road, warning of danger or
pointing to safety and success.
Good resolutions, promising reform,
are also now in order. There are plenty
of men who knou how to do better than
they practice. Hundreds will give the
willing assent of the mind to a plain, prac-
teal exhortation on duty, who never go
any farther. If anyone is conscious of
impertections in method or practice, let
him now resolve 10 amend, and endeavor
to accomplish all that is possible during
this centennial year of 1S76-the Tooth of
American independence. There is no
time TO spare. A year passes very quick
ly. If we would accomplish a good years
work we must not only labor energetical-
ly, but thoughtfully, wisely, judiciously,
taking advantage of every help which our
own experience or that of others will af-
ford us.-OhiO Farmer.
