May-Day Customs-

Though May-pole and Morris
dancing were the most common
there were other customs in differ
ent parts Of Great Britain. In one
place, the Mayors went out very
early to the woods, and gathering
green boughs, decorated every door
with one. A house containing a
sweetheart had a branch of birch,
the door of a scold was disgraced
with alder, and slatternly person
had the modification to find branch

people who oversight found their
doors closed by nail over the latch
In the Scottish Highlands, in the
eighteenth century, the boys had a
curious custom They would 60 to
the moors outside of the town, make
a round table in the sod, by cutting
trench around i, deep enough for
them to sit down TO their grassy ta-
Bile. On this table they would gin-
die fire and cook custard
of eggs and milk, and knead
cake Of oatmeal, which
was toasted by the fire. After eat

was against chromate Of lead, which
the manufacturer admitted using 10
the extent of a grain and half to q

that though he knew chromate Of
lead to be poisonous, he did not con.
slider the amount be used to be :piu
rious. He said that the only reason
he used this substance was to secure
harmony of color, but he Was oblig.
ed to admit that chromate of lead
was the cheapest coloring that could
be purchased. Several other candy
makers testified that they only used
vegetable coloring matter, and found
it entirely satisfactory, and it also
comes out in the testimony that there
is statute in France expressly for.
biding the use of chromate of lead
there. But it is not alone with tht
coloring matter that a great deal o.
the candy used is sdulterated. A
large part of the cheap candy sold

Good Natured Horses

1t is the chief glory ofth American
horse that he is the most enduring
and most amiable of his kind on the
face of The earth, the Orient excepted.
Next to the Arabian, in dociIity and
intelligence, IN love for man and gen.
eral hardwood, stands the American.
The English thoroughbred is an
equine devil; the Spanish and Italian
horses are brutes the French racer
is to be admired at a distance: but
the American horse is kind and gen.
tie, and in gloss and bloom of groom.
ing and virtility the American stallion
can be petted by women and fondled
by children.
We confess we are very proud Of
this. 1t argues intelligence and hu.
mainly among the people, and noble
qualities on the part of our horses. 1t
should be the great ambition of the
breeder and grower TO keep this Just
as it is. And therefore the temper Of
the dam should be closely und .rstood:
for the dam has vastly more to do
with the temper OF the foal than the
sire. In all our observations we have
invariably been led to this conclusion.
The young colt, like boy, is pow
erfally affected by exar pie he is the
embodiment of imitation. If the
mare leers and shows ugliuess, the lit
tie colt will catch the habit from her.
and do just as she does; and who
can tolerate kicking, leering, biting
colt in his stall ? Such a creature IS
the very fac simile of Satan in minia-
ture. You never know when to trust
the imp. He will eat corn out Of your
hand, and look the very picture of
gratitude, and when you turn to 90
out, rejoicing in your good deed,
aohock comes his heels into your back.
The man who can keep in remem.
brance the lessons of patience and
morality that he learned at his moth
er's knee. when he picks himself up
out of the corner OF the stall. under
such circumstances, is a saint. The
strain on mans inner righteousness
IN that moment, is immense. We are
positive about it: for we have been
there, and know how it is ourselves.
