Halter Pulling.

A correspondent inquiries how to cure
a colt or horse of the bad practice of
halter pulling. 1t is usually habit cor
tracted by the bad management of those
having care and control OF young ami
mails. There are various devices rec
commended, which by patience can be
effectually used to break up such habits.
One is to have the halter strap not fas-
tened to the head stall, but through the
ring of the halter and fasten to back
strap at the top of the shoulders. The
back strap to have crupper to it. The
back strap to be held firmly in place
by a strap around the body, the
back strap passing loosely through g
loop in it. In this way the horse, in
pulling back, pulls on his own tail and
will only make few efforts of the kind.
There is no inconvenience or danger in
keeping such an apparatus on until the
horse is thoroughly cured. And it is
well to give an excuse of pulling occa-
sionally by careful devices.
Another way is to have the halter
pass through ring in post or manger,
and back between the fore legs and
through a loop in strap or surcingle and
then back and fasten to one of the hind
feet. Then when the horse pulls the
draft is on his hind foot, which he is
soon tired of. This is perfectly safe
when one is present. but many horses
or colts throw themselves, and in alb
sence of attendance may injure them
selves.
A third way recommended is to pass
the strap through the ring of the head
stall and the sureingle as above, but in
stead of fastening to the foot, fasten to
the end of his tail by tieing knot in
the end of the hair and thus when he
pulls at the halter he pulls his tail be-
tween his hind legs. This is less dam
gerous and equally as effectual as either
of the other ways. But all these de-
vices must be carefully done, and al
ways with straps, rings, ETC, which the
horse cannot break. In fact, he never
would have contracted the bad habit of
halter pulling unless he had broken the
halter at his first efforts. To Subdue
horse thoroughly he must be convinced
that man and his appliances are strong
er than he is, then he pays him homage
and is obedient 10 a superior MASTER

The BOZley Mail.

"Now / wonder who this can be
FROM said Mr.. Bozley, of Prospect
street, as he came back to the breakfast
table with letter which the postman
had Just delivered.
Whats the postmsrkP'' queried
Mrs. Bozley.
"I-I can't quite make out whether
it's Chicago or Chautauqua," slowly re-
piled the head of the family as he held
the missive alternately close to his eyes
and afar off and wrinkled his brow in
his efforts to make out the hieroglyph-
les.
"Lemme see it," said Mrs. B., snatch
ing it out of his hands. "Why, it no
more like Chicago than you're like
Adonis. its"
"Weu? It's
"Why, it looks like Kalamazoo when
you hold it this way" she went on,
with perceptible diminution of conf
dence, however; " but when you turnit
round it-um-m-m-nOt exactly like
MiIwaUkee-but, anyhow, faint Chlca-
gO-nOr-that other place."
Here Master George, aged ten,
deemed it incumbent on himself to say,
"Mebbe it's from Uncle Dan, and he
comm to see us and bring that goat he
promised me-"
Il do wish, child, you'd stop calling
him Uncle Dan. Whatever possessed
ma to give my brother that name l
can't imagine. But faint from your
Uncle Webster, child"
"No, faint from Dan, cause Cleve-
lands spelled with c, and he always
spells it with a K,n remarks Mr.. B. in
confirmation, and is rewarded by a
whitening glance from his partner.
"Lemme look at it, says Miss Stella,
aged sixteen.
And the mysterious envelope is passed
over to her.
"Lawr' she says, after critically ex-
aiming it; "Fll bet it's from cousin
Philip. 0, dear, hope it is and he's
coming to see US this summarizes so
funny"
"My nephew never wrote such a
scrawI as that" said Mrs. B. somewhat
warmly; cts more like some of your
fathers side"
Your fathers side, as you call en-"
retorted Mr.. B., flushing up, "know
how to spell any way; and what's more
we never had red hair in the family till
l got married, and"
And Mrs. B. with a scream dropped
into a chair and Mysteries and cut off
further debate.
When she finally consented to allow
them to bring her to, after all the APP
proved remedies had been brought into
requisition, Mr.. B. proceeded to set at
rest all surmises regarding the epistle
by the novel method of opening and
reading it; and when it proved to be
dunning letter from that odious Miss
Trivett, who does the family sewing, he
iercely crumpled it up in his hand and
muttered something that sounded like
"Idiots!' and though Mrs. B. and the
children didn't know to certainty who
were meant they had their suspicious.

Literally Led into Captivity.


The learned author of the descent
of Man" in noticing that the animals
often suffer from the diseases that afflict
ourselves, might have added that, in
some cases, they are not free from our
vices also. According to a recent letter
from Darfur, in Africa, the monkeys of
that region are inordinately fond of a
kind of beer made by the natives, who
use the beverage to capture their simial
poor rela 'ons. Having placed quanti-
ties of the beer where the monkeys can
get at IL, the natives wait until their
victims are in various degrees of inebri-
alton, and when they mingle with
them the poor creatures are too much
fuddled to recognize the differences be-
tween negro and ape. When the negro
takes the hand of one of them to lead
him off some other fond creature clings
to the hand of the latter one, another
to his hand and thus a single negra
may sometimes be seen carrying off
string of staggering monkeys. When
secured, the beer is administered in de-
creaSing quantities, so that they may
only gradually awaken to the sad re-
suits of their spree.-B0StOn Herald.

A Chinese Interior.

The dwelling-house is generally con
structed OF mud and brick, with tile
for roof, and the whole surrounded b,
wall. Entering the gateway one find
his passage barred by a screen, some
times built of brick and. sometimes ct
wood, bearing upon a white, diamond
shaped field the character which mean
happiness. This screen is believed to
ward off the influence of bad spirits from
the dwelling. Passing to the right or
left, the entrance to the house is gained.
We now perceived the family ancestral
tablets-a huge picture of Buddha, be-
fore which several incense sticks were
burning, and some few plates containing
food, such as boiled rice, dried beans
and grOund-nuts, two cups of wine and
several packets of unburnt incense.
Around the walls were arranged chairs,
at intervals, and small tables for tea
drinking. We caught sight of the wom-
en- watching US from small holes made
in the cotton hanging before the door of
their apartments. Passing into the
kitchen, the process of cooking was
shown to us. A huge iron bowl was
used for boiling rice and cabbage, the
smaller utensils being made of tire-clay.
The fuel is the stalks of the millet, and
reeds cut on the marshy river bank. As
usual in Chinese kitchens, a picture of
the god of the kitchen, a divinity who
makes an annual report of the doings of
the household, had a prominent place.
To Europeans these dwellings seem de-
cidedly uncomfortable. The floors are
of beaten earth; the windows, with rare
exceptions, are made of oiled paper in
small squares, admitting a dim light.
Notwithstanding the fact that petroleum
is now to be purchased at cheap rates
in China, these country people still have
the same old-fashioned lamp as used by
their fathers years ago-a bowl to con-
tain little bean or castor oil, with a
wick made of the pith of the willow.
The country people were very courteous
and polite, requesting us repeatedly to
partake of their humble fare.-COr. San

HancOsk's Letter to Sherman.
Kansas CITY Times.

The Republican managers have been "hoist
by their own petard." For month past
they have been clsmerous for the publication
Of General Hancock's alleged Unreasonable
letter" to General Sherman pending the ex-
citing presidential controversy in congress in
1875. Some army officer, it was said, had
disclosed the fact that Hancock really medi-
tated q coup d'etat, and had gone SO far as to
pledge himself to obey any orders which he
might receive from Samuel j. Tilden after
midnight Of March 8, on the ground that
Mr. Tilden was president Of the United
States. We were told that General Hancock
was distrusted by the administration, and
that General Sherman took pains to find out
General Hanco cks exact position in the mat
tor, and to that end formally addressed a note
to Hancock and requested an answer in wri-
ting. 1t was further asserted that General
Hancock repli to General Sherman, and
that in this reply he said in substance that he
believed that Tilden had been lawfully
elected, and that if the house of representa-
tives should, by resolution, declare that he
has been legally elected president, and if Mr..
Tilden should take the oath of office on
March ith, at any place whatever, he would
thereafter look TO him for orders and not
elsewhere. The Republican press rung the
changes on this accusation, and the ominous
silence of General Sherman only increased
their clamor. General Hancock's equanimity
was undisturbed He admitted that he had
written General Sherman private letter
bearing upon the critical issue, but had said
nothing that he would object to seeing in
print, and General Sherman was free to pub.
fish any such letter in his possession. Acting
upon this permission, or invitation rather,
General Sherman, on returning from his
western trip to Washington, forwarded to
General Hancock copy of the letter in
question, and General Hancock promptly
delivered it to the New York World. The
letter appeared in the Times Of Sunday, and
clearly shows that its author was as patriotic
and loyal in 1876 as between 1861 and 1865.
