BALKY HoRsEs.-A society for the
prevention of cruelty TO animals recon-
mends the following rules for the treat
ment of balky horses; Pat the horse
upon the neck. examine the harness
carefully, first on one side aud then on
the other, speaking encouragingly
while doing so; then jump into the wa
gon and give the word go. Generally
he will obey, A teamster in Maine
says he can start the worst balky horse
by taking him out of the shafts and
making him 60 round in circle. If
the first dance of this kind doesn't cure
him, the second one will be sure TO do
it. To cure balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and
shut off the wind till he wants to 90.
The brains of horses seem to entertain
but one idea at time; thus, continued
whipping only confirms his stubborn
resolve. If you can by any means give
him new subject to think of. you will
have no trouble in starting him. A
simple remedy is TO take couple of
turns of stout twine around the fore
leg, just below the knee, and tie in a
bow knot. At the first check he will
go dancing off, and. af, er going short
distance, you can get out and remove
the string to prevent injury to the ten
don in your further drive.

One Of the most culous collections in
the great Anthropological Museum in the
Paris exhibition of last year was a collec-
ton Of thirty six skulls of murderers who
have been guillotined in France. This COL
lection has been carefully studied by DIR.
BOurnier, who has published the result of
his studies in the last number of Broca's
Revue d'Anthiopologie. The most strik-
ing result Of hls observations is the very
large cubic capacity Of these crania. In
fact, the average volume Of the thirty-siX
skulls, measured with shot by Broca's
method, is as much rs ], 1,547, 81 cubic CEN
timeters. Eliminating, however, one of
the skulls, which is of unusual size G, ,676
cubic centimeters) and is obviously abnor-
NAL the average is reduced to 1851 cubic
ceutimeters But even this figure is con-
sioeT2bly higher than the average of any
ordinary series OF modern crania. In order
10 find skulls Of equal capacity it is neces-
sary 70 70 back to prehistoric times; thus
the capacity OF Solutre skulls is /, 515, and
that Of the type from the cave Of L'Homme
Mort IL 1, q06.5 8 cubic centimeters. The de-
vel0pment of the murderer's skull is not in
the frontal but in the parieto-occipital
region, and 1t appears to indicate low in
tellectual standard, with a strong tendency
to powerful action Most of the cerebral
characteristics presented by the skulls Of
these criminals are comparable with those
OF prehistoric races A murderer may be
regarded as an anachronism, and his charac-
ter may be explained on the principal of
atavisn, or reversion to an early type. If
q prehistoric savage could be introduced into
modern society he would probably. become
q notorious criminal on the other hand, if
Une of the brutal murderers of modern times
had lived in prehistoric ages he might have
been a chief of his tribe, highly respected.

The WIdower's story.

He walked into the Health Office and
said he wanted n burial permit. Asked
for the physicians certificate, he said he
didn't have any; but il was all right-she
was dead.
The jauntincss and checrfulness Of the
applicant striking the clerk us somewhat
peculiar in connection with the solcmnity
of the crrand, he questioned further and
asked the name of the deceased.
''lIer namel Oh why it's Dorothy
Ann Bugsby-my wife, you know. Yes"
continued Mr.. Bugsby, with unabated
cheerfulncss, 'she's gone at last, and It
makes me feel awful bad when think of
its seems rs If I'd lost n friend. Why,
hain't felt so since lost my dog last sum
mer-shot, you know, by the police-but,
as Mrs. Bugsby always said, / amt easy
knocked over, and consequence after I'd
buried him-the dog, you know-and shed
a tear or two, braced right up again. No
use givin' up, you know, and so when I
get the old woman buried, shall go right
along rs though nothing had happened. It's
kind o sorrowful to think Of, though, and
| wish the job was over But she shall
have n good send-off, if have to go with
out n spring suit TO do it-thats the kind
of hairpin | am; nothing mean about me.
You ought to see the coffin nice black
one, with silver-plated handles and plate
with her full name and address on it--I
mean her age and the nails it's full of
them. Bossed the job myself; told the
carpenter wanted it right, regardless of
eXpense-within limits you know, within
limits. Ali" reflected the widower, with
something like sigh. ''she was a remark
able woman, one in ten thousand. So OBJ

came home late at night. Seems as though
| can hear her now, as / used to when |

anybody. But it never was any use, don't
remember now of ever getting in once
specially late at night-that she didn't hear
me. Some women would a been sulky
like, then, and never said nothing But
that wasn't her. Here you are, drunk
again, you old beast = she'd say. Very
outspoken was Dorothy, and | must say
she,was purity clear headed and generally
got things about right. She'd a remarka-
bic keen sense of humor, too. had Dorothy,
and | remember nearly laughed myself to
death one night at something she said
when | came in. disremember just what
it was, but know she got awful mad at
my laughin', and said was long, gang
ling old fool am little lengthy in the
legs, you know. But l never minded her; !;
knew she meant well, though she was
a little queer sometimes in her way of car
ryin' out her meanin'. Dear dear well
1t can't be helped; but l wouldn't have it
happen for $50.
"No2" said the clerk much affected.
''Fact. Well, if you won't give the per-
NIT without a certificate, guess I'll mosey
around and get one, for she won't keep
much longer. don't see much use in it,
though, for she's dead as a herrin'."
And wiping the perspiration from his
brow and remarking that it was warm to-
day but looked like rain, he departed to
procure the necessary certificate.

FRED YOUNG ANIMALS WELL.-The
man who wears out n calf's teeth in the
effort to make it shrink for itself never
raised a prime steer nor good COW.
Every dollar supposed to be thus saved
in the young animal must be replaced
later by the expenditure Of two. The
man who feeds best while the animal is
young makes the most money. This is
generally recognized as true by onr
best farmers, and hence the improve
ment in stock and consequent chea PEN
ing in the raising of animals within
the last ten years. The same rule will
apply to all farm stock. If stinted
while young they never pay the breed
er and feeder living profit. Hence
the reason why those who do not keep
pace with the times are always COM
planning that there is no money instock.
The big prices paid by the best stock
feeders are for animals that have had
their digestive organs kept intact by
early and properly nutritious food.
The value of food animal lies in Its
aptitude TO lay on flesh, and those who
keep steadily growing from birth will
continue this growth and increase in
profitable weight. To do this in the
most economical manner the digestive
organs must be originally strong and
unimpaired by abuse.

AGRICULTURE.

SYRUP FROM SWEET CoRN.-The conf
mon sweet-corn contains so large an
amount of sweet saccharine matter
that it has often been suggested us q
practicable sugar plant. Idonot know
that Its syrup Is granulated; buta gem
tleman with whom conversed n few
weeks ago, assured me that he had sue
ceeded I'm making syrup In such an
amount. that he Is satisfied that he could
make l00 gallons per acre. This was
from corn growing for selling in It's
green state, and very profitable crop
OF ears was sold to the factories for
canning. The next year the factories
reduced the price paid for green corn
SO low, that my friend concluded not to
grow any, and his project for combin-
ing the growing of the green corn and
the making of syrup had To be given up.
But wherever there Is market for
green corn I'm the ear, he believes that
such an Enterprise rightly managed,
must prove successful. If cheap sy-
rup can be thus made, even If not of the
highest quality. IL will prove very val
liable for many purposes. Farm stock

gar or syrups form an important part
of most condiments. All sweets are

the effects Of too high living. A year
