TEHE STEAM bEt1lI.

We often used to say, writes Mr.
Rarkley in his work on Bulgaria, while
constructing the line, "Won't the loco
motive astonish the Turks when it first
begins to run?" At last tho day arrived,
and. as we went up and down the first
few miles whistling loudly, we cast our
eyes up TO the town above to see the
crowds rush out. Twenty or thirty slip
shod rayahs came loupg ging out, and a few
Turkish children, but not one full grown
Turk, and those we. passed hardly looked
at the train, and showed no astonish-
ment. After the trains had beenrunnlng
a month asked my servant Mustapha
what he thought Of it. He answered:
"Tchsllaby, 1 have not yet seen 1t;
am man and don't go running after
sights like child,
"Man or child, Mustapha, if you don't
go and see it tomorrow, by Allah, Twill
make you eat pork! for 1 won't live with
such an uninteresting fool"
He did go and look next. day, and not
only that, but afterward over cup OF
coffee at the kahn listened to lecture on
steam engines, delivered by Turk who
quite understood. them.
They may be very fine things, Tchell-
ably, and you English may make them
useful; bat God defend a Mussulman
from having anything to do with them.
We don't like devils and their works,
even if we could catch one, and are quite

EDUCA,EING HORSES,

Horses can be educated to the extent OF
their understanding as well as children,
and can be easily damaged or ruined oy
bad management. We believe that the
great difference found in horses as to VI
cious habits or reliability comes more from
the different management Of men than
from variance of natural dispo-ition in the
animals. Horses with high mettle are
more easily educated than those OF less
or dull spirits, and are more susceptible
to i'll training, consequently may be good
or bad according to the education they re-
ceiye. Horses with dull spirits are not by
any means proof against bad management
for in them may often be found the most
provoking obstinacy or vicious habits OF
different characters that render them al
most entirely worthless. Could the COM
ing generation of horses in this country be
kept from their days celthood to the age
of five years in the hands Of good, careful
managers, there would be seen vast diff
|ference in the general characters OF the
mobile animals. If "a colt is never allowed
Ito get an advantage it will never know
that it possesses power that man cannot
control; and if made familiar with strange
Eobiects it will not be skittish and nervous.
IIf horse is made accustomed from his
early days to have objects hit him on his
Eheels, back and hips, he will pay no at
J tention to the giving out Of harness o.
of wagon running against him at an un
: suspected moment. We once saw an agee
Ilady drive high-spirited horse, attaches
to carriage, down steep hill, with NJ
Ihold-baek straps upon her harness, AM
she assured us that there was no danger
| for her son accustomed his horses to al
kinds of usages and sights chat commonl
drive the animal into frenzy or fear an
; excitement. A gun can be fred from tn
back of a horse, an umbrella held over hi
, lhead, buffalo robe thrown over his nech
a railway engine pass close by, his heel
bumped with sticks, and the animal TAX
d it all as a natural condition Of things,
= only taught by careful management th'
r. he will not be injured thereby. There
\ q great need of improvement in the mai
s ageinent of this noble animal; less beatin
! wanted and more education.
