TN L I.lIas

The rich man who robs the poor that his
heirs may quarrel over his millions Is known
far and wide; but no one takes the trouble to
publish the names OF the hundreds OF rich
men who are not grasping, who are benevo-
lent, who help people who help themselves,
and by whose aid deserving charities are
made powerful.
The ungrsteiul poor people who deceive
their benefsctors, the beggsrs who amass for
tunes, the idlers in wretched households are
all noted; but who knows OF those who are too
proud 10 beg, and starve rather than steal:-
Of laborers, anu sewing women, and washer
women, each day of whose lives is a scene OF

crusts and share tLeiF ragged garments, and
keep vigil, and die OF hard work and pTiva-
ton endured for mother or father, wife or
child or husband?

Fitting Colts.

lCOr. American StOcknan,
The true way to bit a colt is not TO bit him
at all: that is let him bit himself. When my
colts are one year old, begin to teach them
to hold a bit in their mouth. Tee bit is of
pine, some half inch in diameter and five
inch IS IN length. This piece of soft wood is
held In the mouth by a cord tied to either
end and passing over the head back of the
ears. The colt loves to have this in his
mouth, and enjoy it hugely. He will wei
