He Didn't Want to Talk.

He was nice young man, with a fine
little cane, polished boots anu stand up
collar. and he wore button hole bouquet,
composed of rose and two or three VIC
lets. Button-hole bouquets are all right.
They don't cost anything to speak of,
and the wearer is generally certain to be
taken tor the sou of q millionaire, or the
head clerk in a wholesale tea store. The
nice young man sat down beside moth
erly old lady in street-car. She had a
market basket ON her lap, a nlckle be-
tween her fingers, and did not even scowl
when boy stepped on her corns. She
gave the young man a motherly smile as
ne sat down, and pretty soon she asked

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN
The Care of Harness.

The first point to observe is to keen
the leather soft and pliable; this can be
done only by keeping it well charged
with grease; water is destroyer of these,
but mud and saline moisture, are even
more Obstructive. Mud in drying, alb
serbs the grease and opens the pores of
the leather, masing it a ready prey to the
water, while the salty character of the
perspiration from the animal Injuries the
leather, stitching and mountings. It
therefore follows that to preserve a har
ness, the straps should be washed and OIL. :
ed whenever they have been moistened
by sweat or soiled by mud. To do this
efectually, the straps should be unbuck-
led and detached then wash with a little
water md brown soap, then coat with
mixture of neatsfoot oil and allow it to
remain undisturbed until the water is
dried out; the rubbing IS important, as it,
in addition to removing the surplus oil
and grease, tends to close the pores and
gives finish to the leather. In hanging
harness care should be taken to allow all
straps to hang their full length; brides
gig saddles and collars should be hung
upon forms of the shape of each. Light
is essential to the care of leather, and
when the harness closet is dark the door
should be left open, at least half the time
during the day. All closets should be
ventilated, and when possible they should
be we'll lighted. To clean plated mould
ings use chamois with little trip oil
or rotten stone, but they should be scour
ed as little as possible. Rubber covered
goods are cleansed in the same way.
Leather covered needs to be brushed
and rubbed with wooden rag. If a
harness is thoroughly cleaned twice
year, and when duly treated as we have
recommended, the leather will retain it's
softness and strength for many years.

publican de Constantine. A shofs time
ago the criminal court at Constantine
condemned two natives, brothers, one to
the pain of death, the other to the galleys.
No sooner was the judgement pronounced
than the third brother, the only one re-
naming in freedom, went and found the
counsel for defense, weeping bitterly
and hardly able to explain himself from
emotion. Endeavoring to calm him the
lawyer said: IT,
Gail IS not yet lost, the only object OF
crime was vengeance, and it is to be hoped
that the head of the state will grant a
pardon to your brother who is condenn ned
to DEATH ...'' .
The poor fellow, somewhat reassured,
then declared that as soon as all was de-
cided he had made up his mind to accom-
pany his two brothers to Cayenne, pre-

This anecdote recalls to me similar
episode IN antiquity. Alexander the Great
having taken prisoners the chief family 0
tribe of Syria, decided to put away all
but the woman. Cedlng, ho~ ever, to thr
prayers of one Of these, he granted her
the life of one Of her family. When the
princess asked for the life of her brother,
Alexander could not suppress move
ment of surprise. y sss5
'Whatp cried he, "you lsve your brother
better than your husband, or even than
your own s0n9
~ cannot deny that love my husband,
and I would lay down my life for my
son, but since one only can be saved,
remember that I am still young and may
love another husband and other children,
but no one can give me back my brother,
since my mother and father are dead
Neither is the occurrence special to AL
geria. Machirvelli narrates that in the
middle ages an italian woman, WI ose
brother was defending besieged city,
was summoned to give him up. They
had taken her children from her, and
told her that they would be murdered
unless she persuaded her brother to cap
itulate. Nothing daunted. the italian
lady replied, placing her hand on her bo-
som: "Do as you will my bosom will bear
other children to me, but I will not be-
tray my brother"
+ These different narratives are identical
in character, and serve to prove how his
tory repeats itself after intervals of centu-

poitlcal controversy would be less AFRO
CANT and aggressive. w ,ile the report
IS studionsly circulated in Republican
newspapers that the President will GER.
talnly veto the army bill if passed in the
shape III which it has been reported, the
wish is father to the thought, and no one
has yet been able to get, even by in.irec.
non, the views of the President on the
pending bill. 1t is known here that
| Charley Foster, before leaving Washing
| ton for his home, intimated rather point
| edly t" his Republican friends that the
president would sign the army bill in the
shape III which it is now offered. It is
the apprehension that this statement
made by Foster is true which caused the
Republican leaders to make fiery speeches
aud raise false Issue in tho hone that
the President can be Influenced to veto
it. and help his party out of the position
in which it now finds itself. The record
TT Mr.. Hayes while in Congress shows
that he is recorded affirmatively in more

exceedingly annoyed 10y frequent publ
cations purportng to give his views, nd

1t is, his party is afraid of him, and while
