hut her eyes, she whispered to her

shut her eyes, she whispered to her
mamma: ~
II guess Jenny won't wake up nor
cry, nor trouble Aunt Mary, and if she
wants anything l guess she can find it,
cause everything Is there!'
This visit of Patty's and all her grand
preparations seemed great Joke to her
brothers; they laughed much over it,
but they said nothing to her. because
they wished to see what she would do
next.
In the morning Patty was rather
sober, and confided to her Youngest
brother that she did not like Journeys
at all. In the afternoon she asked per-
mission to 90 to her Aunt Mary's to re-
pack her bag. Maggie went with her,
and it took a long time for the little
lady to arrange everything to be taken
home, and when she got there at last,
she declared herself too tired to put her
things in order that day. But she be-
gan to feel that her labor had not been
in vain; for when she took Jenny out
of the bed, her hair was all fast to her
head, and the dear doll looked as good
as new. Patty was so impressed by
SA.o oiieso :" low unyO nAUCA SuC lOlU u
bald-headed old gentleman, who called
on her papa, that if he would "go on a
journey and sleep one night, his head
would have blonde curls with q blue
ribbon on them!'
On the day after her bag was brought
home Patty was buster than ever, for
we all know that it is more trouble to
put our things in order when we return
from journey than it is to pack them
to 60 away.
So Patty was occupied three days in
going away to pass the night, and did
not do it after all. It is very droll to
hear Patty say. as she often does,
something about "that night when l
stayed at Aunt Mary's."
Then her brothers say, "But, Patty,
you didn't stay"
"Well, that is no matter" she an
swers. II packed my bag, and l took
all my things, and I left them there
and I allowed Jenny to stay, an that is
a pretty good journey, 1 guess."-

Watering Horses In Hot Weather.

There is always something said on
this subject when hot weather comes
round and we see horses perspiring and
covered with foam; and especially
when we see them being watered, their
mouths sponged, and their partaking
freely of cold water. Many think that
it is the one thing needful the giving a
horse all he can drink, when the Their
mometer ranges at from one hundred
and twenty to one hundred and thirty
degrees in the sun, and by it he will
stand anything. Now, as to ourselves.
we have never been the advocate of
frequent or plentiful watering of severe
ly-driven horses in hot weather. All
animals will suffer from thirst if de-
prived of water for an unnatural period.
Horses, especially in hot weather, when
they perspire freely; but it is not to be
inferred from this that they need very
frequent and liberal supplies of water.
On the contrary, they should be watered
Just enough, and if frequently in very
moderate quantity at time. This will
not only meet all the necessities of the
animal, but will keep him in more
vigorous condition and better health,
and will not render him liable to some
of the diseases which frequent and large
doses of water and fast driving will
often produce. Feeding and watering
three times in the twenty -four hours, in
proper quantities, will preserve horse
in better health and enable him to per-
form all the labor reasonably expected
of him, than oftener. Besides. it Is
well known, whether applied to man or
beast, that liberal or excessive water.
ing causes profuse perspiration, and
this in time requires continuous drink
ing to keep up the routine.
The fact is that both man and beast
take into their stomachs, az q rule,
about twice the quantity of liquids that
the system requires; and this is fol-
lowed by the other fact that the system
can be Infatuated to .eduction to the
extent referred to. 1t may at the out
set be some degree of trial; but it will
only be for q little while, when it will
be discovered, not o..ly how easy it is
to adapt ourselves to the change, but
how greatly it adds to our comfort, as
well as proves to be convenience, very
much to our surprise and vastly to our
satisfaction.
There is not the slightest doubt in
our mind that it operates on the horse
in the same way.-Gernsa,stos0n Tsle-

A Game for q Rainy Day.

While every hour of pleasant day
by the seaside or in the country pro-
vides its own amusemelts, on a rainy
day young people are apt to find that
time hangs heavily on their hands. So
it happened, one day last month, that
the girls staying at Sandy Beach Hotel
visited Miss Walker in her room, and
begged her to suggest some new game
for them.
After moments hesitation she said
that she had thought of a game that
might be new to them, thoug Oh she had
played it when child.
II shall want one assistant" sho
said, "to whom the secret of the game
will be intrusted; the others will have
to try to guess it. 1 shall remain in
the room with the rest of you, and my
assistant will go out. During her alb
sence l shall place my hand ON the
shoulder of some girl, or upon the
piano, or on my own shoulder, and
when she returns she shall tell you who
has been touched"
Nobody seemed to know anything
about the game, SO Miss Walker chose
Alice Milne as her assistant.
The girl went out of the room. Miss
Walker laid her hand on the girl near
est to her. who happened to be Clara
Lane, and OH Alice return asked, "On
whom did my hand rest?''
Alice at once replied, ION Clara"
Fright" was the answer.
But the girls, thinking they had
found out the game, said, :" You touch
the girl nearest to you, Miss Walker"
II certainly did on this occasion; but
the position of the girl has nothing to
do with the secret" ..
II think know it, but shall sec,"
said Bertha, and several girls expressed
a similar opinion.
Again Alice went out. Miss Walker
touched Nellie, and Alice, as promptly
as before. named the right person on
her return to the room.
The girls were at fault, and again
failed to discover any look or gesture
that could help them.
"You must have heard, Alice" said
one.
"But Miss Walker did not speak,"
"she placed her hand in particular
position"
"Alice may come in blindfolded if
you like" said Miss Walker.
One of the girls went out with Alice,
brought her in backward, 50 that she
might not see Miss Walker. held her
hands, and did everything but find out
the secret.
At last they said: 1--WE give it up,
Miss Walker. DO tell us the secret"
"Well," said Miss Walker, elf you
really can not guess it, will tell you.
As rule, 1 placed my hand on the
shoulder of the girl who spoke last be-
fore Alice quilted the room. But some
times there were two or three speakers,
and in this case touched my own
shoulders. If no one spoke, touched
the piano. Any article that may be
agreed upon will do equally well. With
this simple understanding, and an in
telligent assistant, mistake is almost
impossible. "-Harpsr's foung People.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

The City of New York's consump-
ton OF postage stamps amounts to
about 500, 900 a week.
More people are killed every year
in the streets of London than on all the
railroads of Great Britain.
There are in Philadelphia 1O3 iron
factories employing $4,000 men, not in
Guiding those employed at the Baldwin
Locomotive Works.
Railway enterprises to the number
of 287, and covering q contemplated
mileage of 10000 miles, have been re-
ported during the first six months of
this year as projected or in process of
constr uction.
Massachusetts, with her 1880
square miles of territory, now supports
population of more than 223 to the
square mile, which is nearly equal to
the density of population in Italy, and
inferior only to Belgium, Great Britain
and Italy among the countries of the
world.
Paris is rapidly adopting the electric
light, even in its present crude stage of
development. Twenty large establish
ments in the city are nightly illuminate
ed on the new system, and the boule-
wards are dazzling to an uncomfortable
degree.
Edison talks enthusiastically of the
time when electrical engines will be
employed on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, and says he can readily obtain a
speed of fifty to sixty miles an hour
with less danger of accident than &C.
ours with steam; for the rails transmit
the energy that moves the train, and
the instant the engine leaves the track
this energy ceases to be in communica-
ton with it.
AT Syracuse, N. Y, they have a
Milk Association, composed of farm
ers, for supplying the city with pure
milk. They keep an agent and secre-
tary to attend to the business, keep
their own teams, employ their own
men to distribute the milk, and board
their own help. This association re-
ceives the product of 1000 cows; the
amount of milk received is 3,808, 900
quarts per year, an average OF 1850
quarts for each cow per year. These
animals represent all breeds and
crosses.
