How TO MAKE A HORSE TROT.-The
question has been asked me, and | will
answer it, "What makes horse trot?"
Well, it is not the whip-that is one
thing settled; ard it is not your driv
ing, friend, either, which makes your
horse trot-that is settled. What is just
the right pull to make on a horses
mouth to save him when he breaksP
When is the proper instant to move that
bit in his mouth? What is the right way
to handle a horse to get him through
the air second faster to the mile? 1t
may as well be owned that the secret is
not open to every body. Only men with
the instinct to see into the horses ma
ture ever learn it, This gift, with long
and patient observation, has enabled
the great drivers to "get the most y out
of the famous trotters. My own prac-
tice is, without pretending to the knowl-
edge of professional trainers, to let the
horse good deal alone. | presume l
do not take the reins in both hands
once in three months, so far as need of
strength goes, when am driving on the
road. OF course there are some horses
that we must make trot if they ever trot
at all; for one do not desire to have
any thing to do with that sort of horses.
But give me q horse that is natural
trotter, and | am sure he will never go
except in a trot, unless by reason
of some pain in his foot or
somewhere else, that may cause him to
break. In that case the best way is to
let him alone. l am driving a 5-year-
old colt that is fast. If he breaks, let
him run. After he has been running
six or eight rods, l hint to him that it is
Just as fashionable for him to strike his
trot, and, if he does not take that hint,
in little while, l give him another.
But l don't yank him, or jerk him,
pull him back" " settle him down, u
"square him." as they say, and all
those other excellent phrases that do
not mean any thing. The colt means
to trot, and l know it, and if for some
unaccountable cause he breaks, know
the habit naturally implanted in him
will get him back to his trot just as
quick as he can. A horse can not run
awhile and catch himself suddenly,
without hurting himself; so he will take
another jump or two. When he has
jumped two or three times, give lit
tie touch to the reins, suggesting to
him that he may as well trot. He gen.
orally knows what l mean, but if he
don't tell him again, and pretty soon
l find him going along with his tail az
straight as a spirit-level. never, on
such a horse, use a check-rein, never
put on martingales, but let him go, head
up and tail streaming. These are the
rudders intended to keep the horse true
in his gait, and you have no right to de-
prive him of his steering apparatus

The American Oyster.

Our American oyster surpasses in
size and fairness all other oysters of the
world. He is found all along our sea
shore, from Maine to Mexico, but in
greatest abundance and most generous
growth from Long Island Sound to
Chesapeake Bay. On the Pacific Coast
the oyster is not nearly so large as on
the Atlantic, although the little oysters
of California are much esteemed for
their flavor. In England oysters are
both small and scarce. 1t is not mere
size that makes the oysters desirable.
Some very large oysters are fiabby and
watery and make poor eating. Until
comparatively recent Improvements in
rapid transportation the luxury of fresh
oysters was rarity to jewellers in the
inland parts of the United States. Even
as far East as Pittsburg " shell oysters"
were so far from common as to be the
subject of special signs in restaurant
windows. The general public who ate
oysters partook of the canned article.
Twenty years ago people advertised as
special attraction at church fairs and
other festivals such canned oysters as
we of the seaboard would consider
hardly fit to offer dogs. Since that time
great improvements have been made in
canning oysters, and they now may be
quoted as really fit to eat when freshly
opened ones can not be procured. An
immense canned business is done in
Philadelphia, as well as in Baltimore
and New York.

The National Scourge.

1t is estimated that the annual damages
caused by the ravages Of insects and worms
exceed $3.50, 000, 900 in the United States alone
Truly an enormous lossl Yet it sinks into III
significance when compared with the ravages
of that more terrible scourge, Consumption,
which annually sweeps hundreds OF thousands
of human souls into eternity. The causes OF
consumption are various, depending in every
instance for the development Of the disease
upon the scrofulous diathesis, or tempera-
ment, of the victim. Thus the same cause
which will produce in one person an attack oil
acute disease OF a slight nervous prostration,
will engender consumption in person OF
scrofulous habit That consumption can be
cured by proper treatment will be readily per-
ceved when the exact nature Of the disease IS
understood, viz, the accumulation and depo-
sition of scrofulous matter (tubercles) in the
lungs. Obviously, the principal remedies re
quired are % powerful Alternative, or blood
purifier, to arrest the Accommodations and also
cleanse the blood of the scrOfulous matter,
and (2) a mild cathartic to expel the diseased

cd of curing this disease. DR.. Pierce's Golden

ton with the most marked efficacy. Dr.

States in Debt and out of Debt.

1t is interesting to observe how the era
of economy is reducing the State debts
and frightening the list of States which
bear no debt at all. Colorado, Della
ware, Kentucky, West Virginia and
Wisconsin do not appear as debtor
States at all. Then there are Califor-
mia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon
and Vermont whose debts are either
very small and on the point of extinc-
ton by sinking funds, or are held in
perpetual trust for school purposes or
State institutions This makes Is out
of IS virtually out of debt. To this list
may be added Minnesota and Mississip-
pi, if both States had not repudiated Just
obligations. OF the indebted States,
Massachusetts, heads with debt at the
beginning of this year of S33, 200, 900,
and sinking fund of about S1I, 900, 900,
making net debt of over S22, 900, 600.
Pennsylvania has total debt of about
S2S, 000, 900, which sinking funds reduce
to SI4, 100000. New York has paid off
all but her canal debt of 100000

Human Eye and Rabbit Eye.

A short time ago man named Rey-
nolds, employed in the Geddes Rolling
mill, says the Syracuse On. " Journal,
while pouring molten iron, received q
dash of the fiery liquid in the left eye,
causing intense pain and serious injury
Mr.. Reynolds applied to DR.. Van Duyn,
under whose care the wounded MEM
Der soon healed, but with the upper and
lower lids fastened to the sight of the
eye. To remedy this difficulty, DR.. Van
Duyn separated the unduly joined MEM
branes with knife, thereby necessarily
removing part of the conjunctiva of
the eye. In the anticipation of this loss,
the Doctor had a rabbit in readiness,
under the influence of ether, and at this
stage of the operation took a piece of
the conjunctiva from one of the insensi-
bic animals eyes, and Immediately
placed it upon that of the injured man,
where it speedily adhered and now has
become part of the human eye. We
may add that the life of the rabbit which
thus contributed to human happiness
was humanely taken before it recovered
consciousness.

Pioneer Days.

An ancient dame who settled in Indi-
ana 60 years ago-she is now "a years
old-recently gave a correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer few reminis-
cences of her early life on the frontier.
She said. y
"We had no window to our house,
and the door was made of a
blanket which was hung over the door
way. We had q large fireplace made
of sticks, in which a fire was always
kept burning. My babe was then three
months old. All we had to keep house
with was small provision chest, a bell
metal tea-kettle, sugar-bowl, pewter
plates, and, some cups and saucers.
When we fbved into our cabin we had
no beds, and as my son, then four years
old, had the whooping-cough, / felt that
it would be dangerous to place him on
the puncheon floor, so | had my hus-
band make a hammock by suspending
a quilt from the rafters by BEDFORD.
We made table out of walnut slab,
and then three stools, and our house
keeping outfit was completed. Well, as
I told you, my husband started to mill
and expected to be absent a week. l
had brother living at Vineennes who
had sent lls word that he would pay us
visit, and l was expecting him. The
second night after my husband left 1
heard some one hallooing down in the
bottoms, and felt certain that it was
my brother who had lost his way in
the darkness. / Immediately answered
the cry, and it was promptly responded
to, and continued to approach. set a
candle on a stump in the
yard, and leaving my little boy

person to come to the light. You can
not imagine my fright at hearing the
yell between me and the house, and on
looking around discovered large pam

brand in my hand. Many time I've
seen the flashing eyes of panther but
they never dared attack me on account
of the fire. When the neighbors went
visiting in those days, they took their
teams and guns and stayed week, the
men hunting, and women quilting and
helping each other at their domestic
duties. How did make butter? Oh,
easy enough. l put the milk in gal
Ion jug and shook it until it was churn-
ed. The trouble sometimes was in get

frequently gone to mill alone when 1

walk five miles on a visit and carry a
babe. They would set the child strad-
die of one of their hips, and putting the
arm around it, could carry large child
with ease. The men in those days wore
buckskin trousers and went barefooted
in summer, while the children seldom
had shoes at all"

the break, and they managed to send
me down a little more air IS I was
coming mp. The air inside of the helmet
grew hot and thick, and BY the time
got to the top was gasping like fish
out of water.,'
Next to the air-pipe, the diver looks
most carefully after the little pane OF
glass which covers his face. The iron
rods, two vertical and two horizontal,
which protect it, are made and fitted
with special care, so as to afford the
greatest amount of protection consistent
with clear view. The breaking of this
glass is generally equivalent to immedi-
ate death, the rush of water within be-
ing apt to choke the victim instantly.
Peterson tells of a case on the Atlantic
coast in which driver was drowned by
the breaking of this glass. The man
was exceedingly nervous, and apt to
lose his head when he got into difficulty.
Especially he dreaded the breaking of
his face-glass, and for this reason had it
made unusually stout. One day, while
working in the hold of ship loaded
with railroad-iron, he janmed his he'll
met against. the thin bottom edge of a
rail. The glass was shattered. The
green water rushed in with tremendous
force, and strangled him before he could
make an effort to get out. Peterson,
cropping his way through the dark hold,
stumbled upon the body of his unfor-
tunate mate, doubled up around a
stancheon.
In diving for the Submarine Compa-
ny of st. Louis in 1871, Peterson himself
met with an accident that welI-nigh
proved fatal. He was employed at Fort
Leayenworth in the Missouri River in
over fifty feet of water. While at the
bottom of the river the bell in which he
was at work was overturned, the bell
boots which he wore being torn COM
pletely off him bv the violence of the
shock. The current was running at the
rate of seven miles an hour. He re-
tanned presence of mind enough to grasp
a lifeline which happened to be within
reach, whereupon the current bore him
to the surface.
Coolan was one of the divers who
fshed the six hundred bodies out of the
wreck of the White Star steamer At
lantic in 1873. The corpses of the dead
we're found jammed against the furni-
ture, crammed through glass sky-lights,
hidden away behind stateroom doors,
and always in the most frightfully con-
torted attitudes. To grope into cab
in in the dark and come suddenly upon
the bodies of an entire family-father,
mother, and children-intertwin in
one last embrace, was not uncommon.
The most hideous cases and most trying
to the nerves we're the single corpses,
hid behind doors, which tumbled into
the Divers embrace on his opening
them.

cousin of Prince Bismarck, committed
suicide lately in Venice. He seemed
determined that his work should be
thorough, as 10 razor-cuts were found
upon his limbs, two upon his arms, and
two upon his throat. Covered with
blood, and leaving q trail of it upon the
floor, he dragged himself to his bed,
and, after lying down, shot himself in
the head. His age was 46. A disease
with which be was afflicted caused him
great suffering, and it is thought that he
killed himself in 8 frenzy Of pain.

entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to eureif
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases ssingle dose has
been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration Of the general health. 1t IS,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, if its use ia continued in smaller
doses for a week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing CASES. Usually this medicins
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, single dose Of
