Breaking colts.

By all means the colt should be broken
to halter while yet a sucking, and the
earlier in life this process is commenced,
the more easily will it be accomplished.
He may soon be led by the side of the
dam without difficulty; and when once
accustomed to being guided by the
halter, it will be an easy matter to lead
him anywhere. He may also be tied by
the side of the dam. as the preliminary
step in teaching him to stand quietly
when hitched alone. The first step in
"gentling'' a colt is to overcome his
natural timidity by gradual approaches;
and when he finds that he has no rea-
son to fear. the work is half done. All
the subsequent lessons given him
through all the various steps of break
ing and training should be based upon
this plan of gradual approaches
species of sapping and mining that will
subdue the most vicious, and tame the
widest colt. if perseveringly followed.
He should be accustomed to the bride
by means of the "bitting rig" before
any attempt is made to ride him; and
the mounting should always be first at
tempted in the stall or the lot where
the colt is perfectly familiar with all the
surroundings. When it is desired to
break him to harness, the same princi-
pie of gentleness and care to avoid Civ
ing fright should be practiced. Place
portions of the harness on him at a
time, and let it remain on him in his
stall until he finds that it will not hurt
him; then lead him out with the harness
on, alone, and again by the side of
another horse also in harness. Accus-
tom him perfectly to the use of the
lines, and then let him make the ac-
quaintance of the sulky. Push it along
after him: and when he has found that
it also is harmless, get him between the
"thills,:' and finally hitch him to it and
drive HIM. 1t is the most convenient
of all vehicles for use in breaking colts
for driving, as the weight is but little,
and there is no danger to be appre-
hended from sudden turning around.
Many trainers provide themselves with
a stout, two-wheeled vehicle, con-
structed like a sulky, but with very
heavy "thills." so strong that the colt
cannot possibly break them, let what
may happen. Such an arrangement is
especially desirable for wild or vicious
colts that have not been "gentled !"
when young, or for such as from i'm
proper handling have formed bad habits
that must be cured.-National Live.

Through that cellar, typhoid fever
sneaked into the house. A writer in
the New York Times says, "Miasm is
the most subtle foe of the farmers
home. It is generated in his barn
yard, cess-pool, cellar; soaks into his
well. and appears on his table in the
form of limpid water; enters his bed
room by night, and poisons the very
air he breathes.''
And all this from the want of a little
intelligence and little painstaking.

AT eleven o'clock the other night q

upon a man pounding vigorously on the
door of dwelling house, and he asked
what he wanted there. The FOUNDER

the steps, went close up to the officer,
and softly whispered in his ear:

"Well, 60 ahead; but don't arouse
the neighbors.
The officer sauntered on, but in about
ten minutes he encountered the tipsy
citizen on the other side of the block.
The man was thoroughly drenched with
cold water, and had lost his hat.
Hello! didn't you get in?''

A Marvellous Escape.

WHEN within two miles of Goodell's,
on the Skagit, Mr.. Moore's partner
stopped to have a talk with another
miner. giving him about one hundred
yards advance. just at that time Mr..
Moore heard and saw ice and snow
moving on the mountain side above
him, and almost simultaneously he was
caught by a whirlwind that deprived
him of consciousness. Strange to say,
when he came to himself he found he
was struggling in the water, six hundred
yards from where he stood with his
back on the trail. This miraculous es-
cape from the coming avalance was be-
cause he was carried by the rush of
wind in advance, which landed him in
the river, the rapid current taking him
down past the thousand tons of ice that
shot across the stream like ball from
the mouth of cannon. Mr.. Moore
drifted down the river with his pack
lashed to his back, occasionally hitting
bottom, until he caught in the lee of
large bowlder rock and there hung, the
drifting ice rushing past. Ropes were
soon procured, and by strenuous efforts
Mr.. Moore was rescued.-SeGttls

with clear, unmistakable broadside
presented to the hunters gaze. There
is many slip 'twixt cup and lip, and
the difference between a live and dead

hunting does not lie wholly in the

peculiar application to this kind of
sport; for the turkeys must be found
before they can be shot, and to me the
chief sport lies in the finding. 1 will

understand it at all one must know the
surroundings and be in full harmony
therewith-must have some aptitude in
the art of ''roughing it," and have
sufficient practice in horseback riding
to render jaunt of fifteen or twenty

Leave Them Alone.

There are certain questions in theology
which it is a great deal safer to leave alone.
If you settle down to thefact that your brain
is not big enough to satisfactorily solve them
you can take some comfort. Indeed, il is
curious to note how much solid happiness
men can get out of things they know nothing
about. The bee has not probably the slight

He just says, when he wants EN-, Let there

1t is not necessary to be always actively
kind. There is one little piece of kindness
which almost all people, old and young, nave
opportunities to perform, and by whose prac-
tice they can very materially add to the
comfort and happiness of less fortunate per-
sons. 1t is to avoid looking at deformities
or marks of disease when they are met in the
street or the home. If a person has a mis-
shapen foot, or lacks an arm or u leg, or bears
upon the face some Disagreement, or is evil

deformIty may well be supposed to be sensi-

course it Is the most natural thing for the eye
to fall upon that which is marked or unusual;
but that is a poor excuse for unkindness.

where, but it requires to be sought, and the
seeker after it is sure TO find it; It may be in
some out-of-the-wsy place, where no one else

sometimes she hides herself in a fower-cup,
or under a leaf, or creaps into the old ivy,
and plays hide and seek with the sunbeams,
or haunts some ruined spot, or laughs out of
a bright young face. Sometimes she takes the
form of a bright cloud. and goes dancing
over the green fields, or deep, blue sea, where
her misty form, marked out in momentary
