HANDLING Colts.

1t is now the season for putting
colts at their first work, and as
many farmers are supposed to have
sold surplus horses since last sea-
sons active work, depending upon
putting young stock to work, it is
of the highest Importance that this
work he very carefully commenced,
and the muscular and joint powers
very gradually brought out, other
wise the colt will become discour
aged and learn to dislike the ap-
proach of the driver and harness.
IL is well to put the harness upon
the colt few days before calling
upon him to do any work, letting
him stand in the stable with the
harness on, the chains, if there be
such to the harness, hanging loose,
that he may become accustomed to
the rattle about his heels. Take
him out with his harness on, driving
him around the lot or along the
road, either single Or with the beast
he is to work with. When he is
taken to the field, it is well, in
place of taking whip with you, to
take little oats in a sack. When
he gets worried or discouraged with
the draught yOd put upon him,
speak gently, give him little oats,
letting him stand for few min
utes, and you will be surprised at
his renewed courage and willing
ness to pull. Say but little, make
your motions in very quiet and
matter-of-fact way, as though you
took it for granted ne con sidered
himself full-grown horse, and yet
DO not yourself forget that he is
young and green and as soft as a
half-ripe squash. Ifyou expect the
work of six year old horse ont of
him, then you are an ass, and if
you attempt to whip work out of
him, then your next door neighbor
should have you arrested for lu-
macy.

whom l told you in my last letter
Is not one o: the "good] cd
children. but a perfect bunch of
mischief who needs constant watch
ing. She had taken fancy 10 play
with the key of her fathers desk,
often taking it out for the purpose.
One day he told her never to take
it out again, fearing it might be
lost. Some few days after be was
laying half asleep on the sofa, the
little daughter playing beside him
the sudden stiffness OF the room
reused him to the fact that she had
disappeared, and seeing the door
to the next room where the desk
was opened, he stole softly toward
it to see what the child was doing.
There she stood just in front of the
coveted key, both tiny handed
clasped behind her neck, and lean
ing forward on her tiptoes she
kissed it gently. The father crept
unseen to his sofa, and in mo
ment she came and stood beside him
both hands still folded behind her,
and said, my didn't touch the
key cause papa told her not to-"
Surely if a tiny creature like this
could put temptation behind her
we grown up folks ought to have
strength enough to set a better eX-
ample than we do.

To.Morrow.

81 will pillow my field to. morrow
lose any time, as the season is ad
vancing; ami if l neglect to cul-
tivste my field shall have no
wheat, and as II consequence no
bread"
Tomorrow arrived. Jeannot was
up by daylight, and was about 60
ing out to get his pillow, when one
of his friends came TO invite him to
a family festival. Jeannot hesitat-
ed at first; but on rejecting little
he said, ga day sooner or later
makes no difference for my business,
while day of pleasure once lost is
always lost" He went to the fes-
tival of his friend.
The next day he was obliged to
rest himself, because he had eaten
a little too much, and drank little
too much, and had a headache.
Tomorrow l will make up for
this" said he to himself.
Tomorrow came; it rained, and
Jeannot, to his great grief, was una
BILE to get out all day.
The following day was fine, and
Jeannot felt himself full of courage !;
but unfortunately his horse was
sick in his turn. Jeannot cursed
the poor beast.
The following day was a holiday,
and he could not, of course, work.
A new week had commenced, and
in a new week great deal of work
may he done.
He began by going to fair ia
the neighborhood; he had never
failed to attend it; it was the finest
fair held within ten miles. He
went afterward to a christening of
a child of one OF his nearest rela-
tions; and afterward to burial; in
short, he had so many things to Oc-
cupy him that when he began to
plow his field, the season of sowing
was past; thus he had nothing to
reap.
When you have anything to do,
do it at once; for, if you are master
of the present, you are much more
so of the future, and he who always
puts off his business till tomorrow,
runs a great risk of never being
able to finish anything.

What Changed Her Mind.

Springfield, (Or) Republican
There is q good deal OF human
nature in Z year old girl. The
Browns were discussing at the
breakfast table how many confer
ence delegates they would try TO
entertain. Two, four and six were
the numbers before the house, and
the general sentiment seemed to be
in favor of the smallest number.
Little 7-year-old, however, stoutly
advocated the maximum number.
I've have three spare beds, and
might as we'll take six. Take six,
mamma. Please dow "Well,"
responded the matron. "If you will
wipe the dishes each time, we will s"
Seven-yesrs-old Immediately began
TO sink down in her chair until her
head almost disappeared under the
table. How many shall we takeW
asks mamma. "One," was the whis-
pered answer.

For the Ladies.

japanese sunshades will be useC
this summer.
Imitation broDzes with nicllo ira
ceries are the popular toys in Paris
just now.
To have a finely painted fan anC
parasol is to be just now aesthetic
and fashionable.
Flowers in large clusters are tax
ing the place of feathers for trim
ming both hats and bonnets
Lace mantles are fichus or elst
Spanish shapes, with a point tina
may be thrown over the head.
Maltese gloves in cream, pearl
white and old gold, are made will
lace bands in the wrist this year
Matching the plumage of doves
is one of the aims which a Partisan
has in view when buying a sober
tinted costume.
I he hooded nantes OF coarse
cashmere edged with plaitiugs Of
contrasting colors have become
very fashionable in Paris.
The shades are so numerous and
exquisite, the threads so smooth
and strong that the ladies are de
lighted with Corticelli silk.
White zephyr wool embroidery
on white cashmere is effective il
the ribs of the leaves and the sta
mems of the flowers be traced in
silk.
Mitts are to be worn over gloves
this year, which is better than wear
ing them on the bare hands, but
they are not very pretty under any
circumstances.

"And she wants to know how

dash for his hair.
The worthy man has sworn the
most solemn oaths to his innocence;
offered to employ a detective to
shadow him; accounted for every
hour of his absence during the last

coldly remarks that she is staying

Cow Peas.

The yield this way (Tennessee)
is from fifteen to thirty bushels per
acre, according to land" says a
writer in the Country Gentleman.
The yield in hay is from two to
tour tons, also according to lard
A neighbor has raised five wheat
crops one year after another on sew
en- acres of what was poor land
when he began with it, and the last
two crops made sixteen to twenty
bushels per acre. The 1rst crop
on this land was five bushels TO an
acre. When he cuts his wheat he
places all his shocks in line, tnen
Immediately ploughs the land and
plants the peas. He cuts them in
August or turns them under, and in
October reploughs and plants
wheat. The work stock needs corn
while being fed the hay, but idle
horses or mules need no other food
during the winter.

Alligators Hatched by a Hen.

New Orleans Times. A lady re-
siding at Cow Island, in Louisiana,
wishing to set a hen, went into
the field adjoining her residence
where some of her chickens had
been laying, and procured some
seventeen eggs and placed them
under the hen. When in the
course of human events the chick
els were Matched, 10 and behold,
there came forth four small sized
alIigators. 1t is supposed that al
ligators from al adjoining marsh
had deposited their eggs in the
field, and she, not knowing the diff
ference, placed them under the hen.
And, what is more strange, the
young alligators follow the moth
er around the premises as happy
as a Colorado beetle in a potato
patch.

very interesting.
