TOPICS FOR THE FARM.
Balky Men Make BoIky Horses

balky Wen Make Balky HOrSes.-Few
things are more provoking or more dis
graceful 70 a driver than a balky horse.
or more amusing 20 the spectators.
Baking is so manifestly the fault of the
handling that the horse has had. that
the driver is outside OF sympathy for
the awkward situation in which he is
seen in holding the reins at the horse
end. A horse delights in using his
strength, and il should be the aim of the
driver TO control him without exciting
his opposition.
Some men will get more work out of
horse than others, because, under their
management, he is allowed TO put his
whole strength into his work, and he is
not irritated and harassed, and perhaps
exasperated, by jerking and twitching
of the lines, loud shouting, and frequent
swapping of and perhaps cuts from the
whip; instead of this mode of treat
ment, he is encouraged TO do his work
with cheerfulness, and freedom of mo-
ton is encouraged; whip, binders and
checks are dispensed with. No more
appropriate names could be applied TO
the last two articles of horse-gear than
the ones they have; one is check TO
ambition, and the other is binding TO
the eyes
A whip is a source Of needless irrita-
tion to horse; he seldom needs it un-
less he is lazy, and if he * lazy, he had
better be seen TO, for laziness and health
seldom go together. 1t is quite possible
Tor horse to be so free from restraint
that his work will be pleasant exercise
"A restful state Of mind put the body in
good working condition in beast as well
as in man.
There is a kind Of knack in conduct
ing the strength and energy of a horse
along the channel which YOU would have
1T flow, and that, too, so smoothly that
there will he no friction; it is usually
the stream which flows quietly which
goes with the most force.
Care should be taken to not give q
horse a load too great for his strength,
for fear he will be discouraged, or being
baked by his load, will balk against his
master.
One manner of starting for teamsters
is first cut with the whip, and the
whip is sure to be pretty severe one :;
then yank on the lines; next comes
course of shouting. This style of
treatment is kept up all day long on an
animal of flesh and blood, and of nerves
often more sensitive than his driver
This is the way that the temper of
many good horse is spoiled; his an
tagonism is aroused, and, instead of be-
ing docile and submissive, he becomes
irritable and resentful.
Occasionally we see on our streets
actual fights between teamsters and
their horses; sometimes there is enough
strength wasted to do half days work.
Verify it would seem TO be for the in
terest of horse-owners to employ only
such men for teamsters as understand
their business.

and-rail fences or board, are much

AdrianOple.

Adrianople is situated at the confu-
ence of the Tundja, the Martha and the
Arda, and is about 1876 miles from Con-
stantinople. Its population has been
variously estimated at from $4,000 to
10000 inhabitants. According to the
most trustworthy accounts, about half
OF these are Turks, thirty thousand Bull
garians and Greeks, and the remainder
Jews and Armenians. Adrianople was
taken by the Turks from the Greek EN-
perors in 1862, and was made the Capt.
tai of the Turkish Empire, remaining so
until COnstantinople was seized in 1853.
1t is at present virtually an open town.
The old part is surrounded by wall
and contains citadel, but these are
now useless as defenses. Recently more
modern works have been constructed by
the Turks, but these are only of field or
at most of a provisional type. In the
opinion of Won Moltke, the hollow
roads, bitches and garden walls
without the town afford great fa-
cilities for its defense, and the approaches
may be covered with troops drawn
up SO as to rest upon the river, but only
in corps of not less than 10000 or 49,
600 men. The town is, however, over
looked by heights on every side, and,
consequently, it would be hardly posi-
BILE to hold it against an army provided
with modern artillery. The first view
of Adrianople is described by Won
Moltke as being wonderfully beautiful,
the white minarets and the lead-roofed
cupolas of the mosques, baths and cara
vanseries rising in countless numbers
above the endless mass of flat roofs and
the broad tops of the plane trees. The
country around it is also exceedingly
lovely. From the valleys of the rivers
hills rise up gently, but to considera-
height, covered with vineyards and or
chards; and as far as the eye can reach
it sees nothing but fertile fields, groves
of fruit trees and tlourishing villages.
Within, however, the streets are narrow
and irregular, the shelving roofs of
many of the houses projecting so as to
meet those on the opposite side of the
way.-NeW York Herald. -- r --

A Touching Letter.

Every one knows the story of the lit
tie girl who, wishing to ask something
of heaven, wrote letter to God, which
she put into the hands of the Virgins
statue in the parish church. ,
A circumstance nearly analogous has
taken place near Harchiennes, in Belgi-
UNI. A girl named Blanche was in the
service of Monsieur and Madame c.,
who were much attached to her on ac-
count of her fidelity and piety. Some
days ago Madame G. fell i'll and died
very suddenly.
The day after her death, Blanche,
profting by moment when the corpse,
already prepared for the grave, was
alone, made her way into the chamber
of death, lifted the shroud and then re-
tired precipitately.
Those who saw her suspected she
might have been trying to pilfer the
jewelry of the corpse. Search was made
and nothing was found missing, but
there was letter in the dead woman's
hand. This being opened was discov-
cred to be letter from Blanche to her
mother, dead long time before. 1t
was as follows:
MYDEAR AND GOOD MOTHER: This is toilet
ysu know that NJ. II. has asked me to marry
him; asyou areno longer here beg you will
Lot mo know in a dream IL I ought 70 mar
~ him, and to give me your consent. In
order to communicate with you profit by
the occasion Of Nine. C., who is going to
heaven.
This letter, which bore the superscrip-
ton, "To my mother Josephine, who is
in heavenl" is truly poem of ingenu-
Gus piety.

A Fathers Terrible Crime.

A Pittsburg dispatch of the 29tb ult.
is as follows: Frank Lynch, would
be suicide, was arrested on the Fort
Wayne Railroad bridge over the Allie
gheny last night, the officer coming up
on him while he was preparing to jump
While being taken to the station-house
Lynch confessed to having murdered his
little child, a boy two years and half
old, by throwing him into the river on
the night of the 18th of December. Al
that time Mrs. Lynch was living at Glen
field, few miles down the river, hav-
ing separated from her husband and re-
tanning the child. She came to this city,
bringing the child with her, was met at
the station by her husband and on her
way over the river they quarreled.
Lynch knocked the woman down and
Selling the child fled. He secreted HIM
self until dark and then started over the
river. On his way over, he says, the
thought struck him that now was the
time to end the little ones troubles, and
lifting him in his arms dropped him in
to the stream. He got work on a steam
boat the next day and went down the
river, but his conscience troubled him,
and when he went home few days ago
he went to his wife and confessed the
deed, and while she was overcome with
the tidings he again made his escape.
An information for murder was made
against him, and the officer following
him to this city was just in time to pre-
vent self-murder. Lynch has been COM
mitted for trial.

Climate Changed by Cultivation.

Apropos of the general theory that
marked changes in climate are conse-
quent upon the settlement of region,
Mr.. marlborough, an explorer of note,
gives the result of his observations in
Australia. Keeping sheep is no longer
profitable there, as it used TO be, but,
on the other hand, large tracts of land
that were worthless before have latterly
become fit for agriculture. There is a
decided increase of forests and of moist
ure in parts of Australia, giving hopes
that eventually the whole interior des-
ert may be reclaimed. The direct effect
of sheep-raising has been to keep down
the tall grass which formerly afforded
material for destructive fires. The
trees, young and old, had been periodi-
calfy burned by these fires, until, the
country becoming almost treeless, its
climate had been rendered arid and its
soil sterile. II the facts in Australia
can be established, they win afford the
most remarkable instance yet recorded
of climate being modified BY the labors
and surroundings of civilized man.

and flung on to a mass of chairs under
the dome. Had he fallen on the
stone pavement his brains would proba-
bly, have been dashed out, and every
bone in his body might have been
broken. As it was, his death was not
the less horrible. He had fallen from q
height of lOl feet, and a couple of chairs
were snapped in two by the violent con-
cussion of the descending body, while
the leg of one of these chairs had passed
completely through the chest of the I'M
happy suicide. On the removal of the
corpse to st. Bartholomew Hospital, u
considerable sum in gold was found in
the pockets, together with some jewelry
and two letters addressed "T. w.
Stevens" 1t is a coincidence curiously
worth noting that on the same after
noon woman named Agnes Duncan
threw herself from a house-landing,
fifty feet from the ground, at Dundee,
in Scotland, and was instantaneously
killed. This woman had shown signs
of lunacy, but she had contrived to
elude the vigilance of those in charge of
her ..
