| the man our girl likes.
| Nor do we think she takes much to the
lout who fiods type in all classes. He
| is the man who has no conversation,
who pro eases 10 despise worldliness, +"
because the world rejects him who
comes into drawing room covered with
mud, often with b trowsers rolled up
over his ankles il he ha6 been walk ng,
and a general air of here-I.am-snd be
thankful to hsve-me-at'aDy-pri about
him: who sits still while his tes is
handed to bin, and never even offers to
help with the kettle and the bread and
butter.
Nor will the "shoppy" man attract
our girl; the lawyer who always lapses
into cases and courts; the parsons who
can not rise above schools and districts;
the author whe quotes his own words ;
the physician who perpetually airs his
special passion-be 1t Bach, Beethoven,
Brahm or Bizet; nor the painter who
is in a continual state of heart burning
at somebody else's success. Not one OF
these men satisfies her requirements.
OF course we refer to the time in her life
before fate has, it may be, caused her to
love a man the very opposite of what
her reason teaches her to admire. Her
man will be neither an Adonis nor q
Caliban. He will have some slight
power of sympsthizing with her, as
well az of expecting her to sympathize
with her. He will be good-tempered
and obliging, and the less selfish the
better, Being a sensible girl, she will
not look for the impossibility of an en-
tirely unselfish man. He will be edu>
Gated and intelligent, able to talk to
cleverer people than himself without
appearing fool, but he will not, as
rule, be q distinctly learned parsonage.
He will be in the habit o. paying to all
women pretty little helpful attentions,
which, because they are done only outof
kindness OF heart, will not detract from
his msnliness.
And here, we believe, we have made
our best guess st the equality dearest to
our girls heart. Manliness is her re-
quirement !; by which we mean that she
likes a man to be SO thoroughly brave
that he cannot be brutal; 60 true and
strong that she may trust to him, in
stead of having to be the guide, consider,
comforter and friend OF his uncertain
steps. That he should be physically
manly is of less importance to her than
he should have q manly mind, broad
and fair, snd free from littleneas. At
the same time we believe she would pre-
fer that he should ride and shoot, and
be able to enjoy himself honestly in the
country, always provided he will not

things are necessary, but with them we
have NO concern at present. We wish
only to convey to our readers our dis
tinct impression that bright, intelli-
gent, pure, minded girl is by no means
SO anxious to know what are the types
OF girls men like" as to find type of
man she likes herself And, as rule, !
we believe she knows true metal when
she hears it ring.

How Horses Become Blind.

One of the worst eye traps known Is
the sbominable hay-rsck, where a horse
has to reach up and pull the hay down,
filing his name, ioretop and, worst
of all, his eyes with hay seed, chat or
whatever msy be mixed with the prov
ender. These traps are met with every
where throughout the land. These
throw the horse in the most unnatural
position for feeding, as the natural posi-
ton is to reach down and pull up, not
to reach up and pull down. as these hay
racks make him do. Ia reaching up TO
eat it exposes the foretOp, face and eyes
to seed, cisff and dirt which on getting
on the hesd once is liable to get into the
eye at any time. We will speak now of
the abuse that horsemen resort to in
controlling horse. The worst of all is
in striking him over the head with
leather strap, your fist, club or whip.
Shame on q man that would dsre to
club over the head the nObiest of crea.
ton next to mani But l am sorry to
say we find great many so called good
horsemen that take delight in sitting
on their wagc seat and trying to zee
how close they can send the point of
their cracker to the horses ear, or strike
some particular spot on the back of the
head, neck or shoulders But my word
for it, man who will practice tits,
comes to grief sooner or later. Instinct
tells the horse to be careful CT his head,
and especially his eyes, for when they are
gone that ends his seeing, as they can
never be restored or new ones put in, as
we all know. Therefore, never strike
horse about the head, but on the other
hand be always mild in handling the
head. The number of horses eyes hurt
by slipping the collar over the head
would surprise us all, if known. A
horses head, with good eye setting
out boldly on a square face, is hard
thing to slip stiff collar over without
rubbing and bruisiug the eye. Next
we have the stable to contend with, and
it produces more weak eyes than any
other one thing we know of. The gases
arising from the body are ruinous to
the eye. Let man stand over pile of
warm decomposing manure and see how
quickly it affects the eyes. But he
never thinks about the horse in his
closely confined stall, with no ventilation
either above or below to carry awsy this
poison. Set your stables up from the
ground, give ventilation underneath 80
as not to confne this gas and compel it
t. rise through the cracks in the floor.
Also put good ventilation high above
the horses heads to cause current O.
air to carry off this poison as it gener-
ates. Always give the horse plenty of
light, but not through small hole /;
make it large SO as not 10 condense the
rays as they come through small open
ing. Never wbitewash stall, as white
is very bad on the eyes. Take sheet
of white paper and hold it up before
your eyes and see its effects; but you
can turn your head and look away from
1t, while the horse cannot, SIS he is tied
up with white sheet all around him.
Never whitewash stall, but always
use blue, as it will never hurt the eyes.

The Sort of Men Girls Like.

1t is, we believe, commonly understood
to be fact that women are less affected
than men 10y mere personal beauty.
And to some extent we incline to this
Cd MON also. Yet what are called
"beauty men" have their worshipers,
and dispense their little favors with as
charming 8 sense of their own conde,
scension and affability as their rivals OF
the opposite sex. But, after all, man
VINO has beauty, and nothing more, is
apt to fall, and we doubt if he comes
under the category OF the men that
girls like. His serene belief in his own
projections, and his secure conviction
tnst every woman that comes under the
charm OF his colt eyes and elegant fea
lures must fall a victim to destinations,
have an irritating effect And the con-
sequence of widespread search after fas-
cination makes such a man difficult,
almost impossible, to fix. A girl,
as well as man, may feel with touch
stone that ga poor thing, but her
own" is preferable to thing of beauty
shared among her friends. Beauty,
vanity, brutality, obstinacy, effemi~
macy, folly and selfshness are all in
their turn adored by women of all
grades. Therefore let us take typical
girl-one who has seen more than one
man in her life, who does not live in the
country all year round, or in watering

A Famous Imposter.

A famous lmpostor has Just died in the
poor-house at Hawick, Eng gland. He had
MS day, this Robert A1tkin, alias dill
Obby," name belonging to the language
which probably Robert himself invented.
He did several notable things: but his
greatest exploit-that by which he is
still most feelingly remembered in the
south OF Scotland-was when, twenty
years ago, he made the canny people
there believe that he had become heir to
to large estate and great wealth by the
death OF an uncle in America. Robert
soon found himself living in clover, as
the saying is. His story, perhaps to his
own surprise, was believed. 1t was easy
to point out that it would take consid
cradle time to realize an estate beoueath
ed TO him in America, aud several gener
Gus gentlemen in the neighborhood of
Dunse gave him cash account in one of
the banks for 81 900. It was enough.
With such an account it was easy for
an ingenious fellow like Robert Aitkin to
play the gentleman. HIS society was.
courted on all hands, and by the most
respectable families in Dunse. He pur-
chased an estate, but of course forgot to
pay for it; he bought hunters, jeW5iry,
was richly apparreled, he gave great din
ners himself, and dined sumptuouslv
with the most respectable families in the
nelghborhood: 1t was gay life while it
lasted, but Robert chung to it too long.
he was convicted of fraud, and imprison-
ed; and this seems to have broken the
spirit Of the clever impostor, as his for
tunes thereafter sank low, and now he
has died IN a poorhouse.
