Balky Horses.

The society for the prevention of
cruelty TO animals puts forth the follow
ing rules for the Treatment of balky
horses, which will bear reproduction =
l. Pat the horse upon the neck ex-
anime the harness carefully, first Oh one
side then on the other; speaking en-
couragingly while doing so, then jump
into the wagon and give the word go
generally he will obey.
=. A teamster in Maine says he can
stalt the worst balky horse by taking
him out of the shafts and making him
go around in il circle till he is giddy. II
the first dance of this sort doesn't cure
him, the second will.
3. To cure IA baIky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and
shut off his wind till he wants to go and
then let him go.
4. The brain of the horse seems to
entertain but one idea at time there
fore continued whipping only confirms
his stubborn resolve. If you can by any
means give him IL new subject to think
of, you will generally nave no trouble
in starting him. A simple remedy is to
take couple of turns of stout Irvine
around the foreleg, just below the knee,
tight enough for the horse to feel, and
tie in bow-knot. At the first check he
will go dancing off, and after going II
short distance you can get out and re-
move the string to prevent injury to the
tendon in your further drive.
5. Take the tail of the horse between
the hind legs and tie it by Il cord to the
saddle-girth.
6. Tie string around the horses ear
close to the head.

Temptation.

What we are taught to seek or shuu
in prayer, we should equally pursue on
avoid in action. Very earnestly, there
fore, should we avoid temptation, seek
ing to walk so guardediy in the path OF
obedience that we may never tempt the
Devil to tempt us. We are not to en-

Dearly might we pay for such presump-
ton. This lion may cross our path, OF
leap upon us from the thicket, but we
have nothing to do with hunting him.
He that meeteth with him, even though
he winneth the day, will find it II stern
struggle. Let the Christian pray that
he may be spared the encounter. Our
Savior, who had experience of what
temptation meant, thus earnestly add
monished his disciples, that ye
enter not into Temptations" But let us
do It's we will, we shall he tempted /;
hence the prayer "Deliver us from evil.

The Sulphur Cure for Diphtheria.

In IA letter published on the 18th inst.
in The Journal reference was made to
the sulphur cure for diphtheria. Some
time since well known stationer OF
this city had Il daughter very sick, with
little hopes of her recovery, when a
friend handed him RECEIPT, apparent
lv the same referred to above, urging
him to try it as last resort, which he
did. The cure effected was remark
able, and the parent was so thankful
that he Immediately caused large
number of the recipes to be printed,
and has since distributed them when
ever an opportunity offered, and many
are the cures reported to him through
its trial. For the benefit of all inter-
ested we copy the receipt:
"A few years ago, when diphtherla
was raging in England, q gentleman
accompanied the celebrated DIR. Field
on his rounds, to witness the sO-called
wonderful cures which he performed,
while the patients of others were drop
ping OH ali sides. The remedy to be SO
rapid must be simple. All he took
with him was powder of sulphur and
quill, and with these he cured every
patient, without exception. He put a
teaspoonful of -four of birthstone into a
wine glass of water, and stirred it with
his finger instead of spoon, as sulphur
does not readily amalgamate with wa
ter. When the sulphur was well mixed,
he gave it as gargle, and in ten mill
utes the patient was out of danger.
Birthstone kills every species of fungus
in man, beast and plant in few Mill
utes. Instead of splitting out the gar
Gle. he recommended the swallowing
of it. In extreme cases, i'll which he
had been called just in the nick OF
time, when the fungus was too nearly
closing to allow the gargling, he blew
the sulphur through IA quill into the
throat, and after the fungus had shrunk
to allow of it, then the gargling. He
never lost il patient from diphtheria.
If the patient cannot gargle, take a
live coal, put it on shovel and sprinkle
a spoonful or two of -four birthstone at
IL lime upon it, let the sufferer inhale
it, holding the head over it, and the
fungus will die. If plentifully used,
the whole room may be filled almost to
suffocatiOn the patient can walk about
in it, inhaling the fumes, with doors
and windows shut. The mode of tumi-
eating Il room with sulphur has often
cured most violent attacks of cold in
the head, chest, etc, at any time, and
is recommended in cases of cOnsump-
ton and asthma"

The Children's Sunday.

| think you should encourage IL great
deal of song on the sabbath day. Be
gin with hymn. If you have IL piano,
or cabinet organ, or Il violin in the
house, use it for sacred music only, OH
the holy day. Let the daughter who is
just beginning to play, learn the tunes
of these sacred songs. and the rest will
delight in uniting with her, and your
praise meeting III the morning will give
you inspiration and tranquility tor ali
day. Go to church and take the chill
dren with you. You say, perhaps, that
the children attend Sunday school, and
that you think that enough that they
do not understand the words of the
preacher, and that they grow weary
and fret aud disturb YOU; and You
think on the whole they are better off
at home.
In the old stern day of the Puritans,
this plea of fatigue and restlessness
might have been urged, but never was.
Then, though sermons were two hours
long, the boys and girls sat by their
elders, and at last learned to discipline
their feet and hands, and to keep them
selves quiet. lti quite otherwise now.
Most ministers remember that they have
young people among their auditors, and
drop them now and then crumb.
By going in whole households to
church, the habit is established. The
child will grow up and find it easy and
not difficult to attend church when be
reaches manhood. Let your pew, after
this, look from the standpoint of the
pulpit, like bed of flowers in bloom,
with all the children but the baby
there.
Have good dinner, not necessarily
hot one, but Il good one on Sunday.
The Sunday meals should be more feasts
than fasts. Have the incest cake and
the favoIite preserves on the Sunday
tea-table.
On Sunday afternoon, see that there
is supply of bright. interesting read
ing for the older members of the fami-
ly. Tell stories, or read them to the
younger ones. Be never cross, mOrose,
severe or stern on Sunday. 1t is the
day which should be clothed in white,
and on which every one should smile
and be full of cheer.
End the day with praise, bible read
ing and family prayer meeting. Let
the prayer of the father be very direct,
very simply worded, very earnest, ask
ing God for the things the family want
Let everybody join in the sweetest OF
all prayers, ''Our Father in Heaven
And then, when sleep folds its soft
wings over the household and the
angels watch you, they will bear tC
heaven good account, and Gods bene-
dlctlon will rest upon you, to make you
happy and strong. Whatever the week
may hold in store for you, you will bt
better able to meet it, if you and your.

Lifelong discomfort and sudden
death often come to children through
the inattcntiOn or carelessness Of par
ents. A child should never be allowed
to go to sleep with cold feet; the thing
to be last attended to is to see that the
feet are dry and warm. Neglect of
this has often resulted in dangerous at
tackS of Group, diphtheria, or Il fatal
sore throat. Always on coming from
school, on entering the house from Il
visit or erramd in Iainy, muddy, or
thawy weather, the child should re-
move its shoes, and the mother should
herself Ascertain whether the stockings
are the least damp. If they are, they
should be taken off, the feet held be-
fore the fire, and rubbed with the
hands until perfectly dry, and another
pair of stockings and another pair of
shoes put on. The reserve shoes and
stockings should be kept where they
are dry, SO as to he ready for use on II
minutes notice.

The Price of Newspapers.
FACTS LITTLE UNDERSTOOD BY THE
PUBLIC.


PUBLIC.
From the Hartford Courant)
A friend asks why it is that the price
of the newspaper does not drop with
the prices of clothing and provisions.
1t is reasonable question, and shall
have frank answer. The newspapers
of the tirst-class are better now than
they were a few years ago, and the cost
of producing them is more, while their
receipts for advertising are much less
than formerly. The newspapers have
shared to the full the hardness of the
times. Few of them have made much
money since 1873; many of the most
important newspapers have been pub
lished without profit, some at Il loss.
Every daily paper in the country, so
far as we know, is sold at much below
its cost,-it depends wholly upon the
advertising for making up the deficit.
When business is poor the newspaper
is the first to feel it.
But for the fact that the price OF
white paper has fallen since the war,
many newspapers would be compelled
to suspend or greatly increase theil
subscription price. There has been a
fall III paper, and the rates of cOmpO-
sition have decreased-but for these
reductions the newspaper would hardly
have survived. For in most other re-
spects the cost of producing the news
papers has Increased. More is demand
ed of it. The cost of collecting news
increases every day; the telegraph
bills are higher than ever, and would
have seemed enormous a few year.
ago; correspondence i'll journals of the
first class is better and better paid the
expense of the editorial department ii
greater, and the labor on it is bette
: and more varied. If we were to o,
r through all the items from TELEGRAPH
down to gas bills, the reader would Sc,
why the newspapers cannot affort
much If any reduction below presen
rates; especially when it is considere,
, that 1t takes its full share of bad debt
and loss of business.
