Horseslloes or No Horsesnoes.

A correspondent of the London Times
writes: "Some months ago there APP
peared in the Time a series OF letters tor
and against horseshoes. The argument
against them seemed to me SO strong,
and convenience of doing without them
SO great, that / resolved to try the ex-
pertinent. Accordingly, when my pony's
shoes were worn out had them removed
and gave him months rest at grass,
with an occasional drive of a mile or two
on the highroad while his hoofs were
hardening. The result at first seemed
doubtful. The hoof was thin shell,
and chipping away until it had worked
down beyond the holes of the nails by
which the shoes had been fastened.
After this the hoof grew thick and hard,
quito unlike what it had been before. /
now put the pony to full work, and he
stands it well. He is more surefooted !;
his tread is almost noiseless; his hoofs
are in no danger from the rough hand
of the farrier, and the change altogether
has been clear gain without anything
to set off against it. My pony, may
add, was between four and five years
old; he had been regularly shod up to
the present year. He now goes better
without shoes than he ever did with
them, and without shoes he will con-
tinue to go as long as he remains ir mr.

Canaries as Concert Singers.

An entire novelty in the concert sing
ing department of musical art is prom
ised to the lovers Of sweet sounds by an
ingenious citizen of Phenixville, South
Australia. This gentleman has for some
years past devoted himself exclusively
to the training of canary birds in every
known method of vocalization, and, as
we gather from antipOdean journals,
with extraordinary success. But he
has recently crowned his triumphs as a
very Lamperti of feathered songsters by
inventing n mechanical apparatus by
which his yellow pupils will be taught
to perform music of more reconcile
and complicated character than mere
ballads and opera airs. He proposes,
with the aid of this continuance, not
only to produce canary soloists, capable
of executing popular airs, but to teach
his pupils part-singing and the render
ing of the most difficult modern oper-
attic choruses. These astonishing re-
suits are to be attained by the following
process: The cages in which the pro-
fessor's pupils reside are hung up in
front OF a mirror, behind which is fixed
a musical box, which plays the solo,
part-song, or chorus they are desired to
perform. The birds listen eagerly to
the music, turning their attention to the
quarter whence it proceeds. Their gaze
is naturally directed to the mirror in
which they. see the reflection of their
own graceful persons. At once they hop
to the conclusion that their counterfeit
preseItments are real live canaries, me-
lodiously engaged in singing the unfa-
miliar strains that delight their ears
From observation to imitation, it 'ap-
pears, is but a step with the intelligent
and tuneful canary bird. He is apt, in
concerted music, to double a part, and
betrays prediction for the leading
business" but, being gifted with q
quick ear, he soon recognizes the desira-
bility Of filling up the notes wanting to
complete the chords, and adapts himself
to harmonic requirements with artistic
promptitrde. Wagner's Trilogy," per-
formed by company of canaries, may
thus be an attractive item in the oper-
attic performances of the future.-Lo1adon

If you want realization of that
ch-talked-of quality, style, says
Paris letter, just go to Worth's and ask
for "Miss Mary" An English brunette
will respond to your summons bru-
nette with large blue eyes and slender
figure and a mien of blended reserve and
dignity. She will take your orders with
the air of a queen, and will move to exc
cute them with the step of duchess.
She is the very incarnation of style; that
mysterious quality is diffused through
out her being, from the summit of her
dark-tressed head down to the tip of her
shapely slipper. Were she clad in a
tow bag, fastened around her waist
with hempen cord, she would impart
to that garb subtle air OF elegance.
She is always arrayed in some one of the
latest creations Of the presiding divinity,
and whatever it may be she looks well
in it. Her smooth, pale complexion de-
fies the effects Of color, and she can wear
pale green or golden yellow with equal
impunity. Rufus cannot deform her
throat, and pulled sleeves are powerless
to impart an ungraceful carriage to he
arms. She moves in tie-back like a
swan, and carries train with the I'M
conscious ease of mermaid. She is
never fustered or put out, or imperti-
nent or familiar. Stout matrons and
skinny maidens, beholding the charm
and grace of her appearance, ascribe it
all to her gown, whereof they straight
themselves in the process. She is the
worthy prime minister to the ac-
knowledged king of fashion.

An American Street in London.

There is one short street in London
which has this peculiarly: At any
season, perhaps at any hour, you choose
to go there, you will always find at least
one American, oftener group, loung-
ing at the busiest corner AS usual
with loungers, the most of these men
look as if lounging were their profess
sion, and very poorly paying one at
that; but often one catches sight of a
face which carries in every anxious line
tale of disappointment, frustrated
hope, baffied energy, heart-sick effort. I
scarcely know why Craven street of all
the thoroughfares running off the busy
Strand should have been selected for a
rendezvous of Americans. Perhaps, be-
cause it was the locality chosen as
London residence by one OF the greatest
Americans who ever lived. Half way
down the street, on the right-hand side
going Thames-ward, you see a pretty
house, which, on level with the first
story windows, shows a blue plaque
bearing the following inscription: I'm

A Cheerful Wife.

Better than gold to man is cheer
ward making her cheerful. It is easy
enough for a man to marry a happy
woman. But the bride cxpectant, when
she thought how happy she would be,
never contemplated the picture of a
husband coming home cross as bear,
and going to bed without speaking to
her; she;had never thought OF the long
evening when he wouldn't come at all {;
or his bringing some one home to din
ner without warning or preparation; or
his awful profanity over so trifling a
matter as her little bill Of expenses.
She had no idea, in fact, there could be
anything but happiness in married life,
and she had determined to be happy,
and to distribute her happiness to those
around her. It is not often her fault if
she doesn't succeed.
Men, as rule. do not exert themselves
to secure their wives happiness. They
know that it requires a constant and a
great effort to possess property, and be
secure in its value in the midst of con-
oGhiiU SlleehACos 1IO SACCi-
fitness, the happy, hopeful character
which every woman displays at the be-
ginning of marriage is not so easily lost
as fortune; it requires but small
share. A word to the girls in this con-
nection is in order: Beware of the man
who doesn't know enough about cheer
fulness to understand its value in daily
life. Such a man would improve the
first opportunity to grind the cheerful
ness out of his homo, to brighten a sun
beam into shadow, and then wonder
what is the matter. Such is no better
thar no husband at all; and when you
want husband go find somebody else
somebody who will give you at leas
some chance to be happy far into the
life beyond the honeymoon.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD
Currant Cuttings.

Currant Cuttings.
The currant pays for generous cultiva-
ton by an increase of pulp and decrease
In number and size of seed, The berries
are large and abundant and the Juice of
better flavor when suitable soil, culture
and fertilizers are bestowed. This fruit
thrives best in rich sandy loan, but
will give good returns on most soils if
the earth is kept well pulverized, free
from weeds and is furnished with the
requisiteplant foods. As the currant is
rich in soda, the phosphates and potash,
wood ashes and leaf mold are excellent
fertilizers,
When the new growth has matured
and the leaves fallen, currant cuttings
can be made and planted either where
they are desired TO grow permanently or
in any good soil for transplanting in the
spring. The best mode of propagating
is by cuttings, which, prepared and set
at this season, will make good healthy
plants for another spring. They should
be made from eight inches to foot
long and set in thoroughly pulverized
bed about half or two-thirds their
length in the ground, care being taken
to press the soil firmly about the lower
end of the cuttings. 1t is well to par
TALLY shade with brush or other ma
terial for time when the slips are set
out in rows and away from the protec-
ton of afence orwali.- H..
Some cultivators advise that the cur
rant be grown tree-shape, I. e., with a
single stem from the root. When trees
are desired cut out every eye going I'M
der ground. Bushes are, however, more
lasting and productive than currant
trees, and consequently are more gen.
orally cultivated. In this case one or
two buds are left just at the surface of
the ground. Cuttings set in the fall
should be mulchcd with coarse straw or
leaves when the severe weather comes.
Currant cuttings may be set in the
spring with success, though nurserymen
are adopting more and more fall plant
ing. When this is done n yearling
shoot from six inches to Il foot long is
taken off close to-tbe old wood and
planted the same as fall cuttings. These
will make a strong, well-rooted plant
by the autumn.
The largest currant in cultivation is
the Cherry, or, rs it is often termed, the
Red Dutch. The size of this variety
recommends it for market purposes, and
it is also an excellent sort for jellies.
The best kind for table use is the YER
sailles, n French variety, with berries
resembling the Cherry currant, but the
branches are larger and more tapering.
This is vigorous grower and produc-
tive. The Black Naples is large, black,
sweet, of n musky flavor, and valuable
for jams and iellies. The best white
currant is the White Grape-large,
transparent, juicy, sweet and rich

boiled hominy-small kind-allow two
cups of milk, a heaping teaspoonful of
butter, teaspoonful of white sugar, a
little salt and three eggs. Beat the eggs
very light, yolks and whites separately;
work the yolks into the hominy alter
nately with the butter. When thoroughly
mixed put in the sugar and salt and go
on beating, while you soften the batter
gradually with milk. Be careful to
leave no Jumps in the batter. Lastly,

Facts for Farmers.
Many farmer, by too sparingly seed
ing his new meadows, has had to cede
his whole farm.
To cure scab in sheep, rub it with
plain petroleum with sponge three
times week. Dogs can be cured of
mango in the same way.
In cultivating sweet potatoes do not
let the vines root at the JOINTS, as nu-
merous small potatoes will form there
at the expense of large ones.
Land laid down with clover is better
terest than any bank can pay, and COM
pounding the interest oftener.
Blackberry and raspberry bushes
should be planted in the fall, as they
make such an early start in the spring
that the shoots may get broken.
Potatoes should be dug when the
ground is dry. They are never salable
at the price they are worth when there
is dirt adhering to them. They cannot
be thrown out on the surface of the
ground between the rows to dry with
out greatly injuring their eating quail
ties.
A cave dug in the side of hill or pit
in a sandbank affords an excellent place
for storing potatoes. If piled on top of
the ground and covered with straw and
earth, care should be taken not to leave
them exposed to the light. A dark eel
lar is to be preferred to light one for
keeping potatoes.
Manure applied broadcast to meadows
been done sooner, increases the luxuri-
ance of the growth before Swinter, and
gives the grass an early and luxuriant
start in spring. Manure which was
too coarse or tibrous early in the season
has rotted enough, if piled in heaps, to
spread well.
Poultry Notes.
Keep accounts.
Gull your fowl focks.
Raise your own feather beds.
Keep the best pullets for layers next
season.
Whitewash the poultry houses before
cold weather comes.
Look out for a supply of gravel before
cold weather sets in.
The English agricultural Gazette is re-
sponsible tor the statement that game
cock was recently sold for 1902.
The Langshan fowls are raising quite
a commotion in English poultry circles.
Being new breed, of course they pos
sess few more good qualities than any
! other breed in chickendom.
There is more in the feed than in the
breed-the fowl that has been we'll fed
and we'll cared for from the shell to
| slaughtering time, will make the best
table meat; if you want chickens that
will be good eating after they are dead,
see that they eat well during their lives
