BY a recent postal decision mel

By recent postal decision men
can actually make money by getting
their bills and statements of accounts
printed. Statements of accounts and
bills of sale when made out on paper
having printed headings, can be sent
by mail for one cent, if the envelope
is left unsealed; whereas, if 1t is made
out ON imprinted paper, it will cost
three cents. Thus by patronizing THE
AsTOkIAN two cents can be saved ON
every bill or statement that is sent out

Educating Horses.

Horses can be educated to the extent
of their understanding as well as chill
dren, and can be easily damaged or ru-
ined by bad management. 1t is be-
lieved that the great difference found in
horses as to habits of reliability comes
more from the different management OF
men than from variance OF natural dispo-
sition in the animals. Horses with met
tie are more easily educated than those
of less or dull spirits, and are more sus-
ceptible to ill-training, and consequently
may be good or bad, according to the
education they receive. Horses with
dull spirits are not by any means proof
against bad management, for In them
may often be found the most provoking
obstinacy, vicious habits of different
character that render them almost en-
tirely worthless. Could the coming gen
Grafton of horses in this country be kept
from their days of colthood to the age of
years in the hands of good, careful
managers there would be seen vast
difference in the general character of the
noble animals.
If colt is never allowed to get an adj
vantage, it will never know that it pos
sesses power that Man cannot control,
and is made familiar with strange objects
it will not be skittish and nervous. If a
horse If made accustomed from his early
days to have objects hit on his heels,
back and hips, he will pay no attention
to the giving out of harness or of n
wagon running against him at an unex-
pected moment. A gun can be fired
from the back of a. horse, an umbrella
held over his head, q buffalo robe thrown
over his neck, railroad engine pass
close by, his heels bumped with sticks,
and the animal take it all as a natural

injured thereby. There is a great need
of improvement in the management of
this noble animal less beating and more
of education.
