patton for all his vacant hours, insisting
upon "taking him round to see the

on him when he is longing for rest, and
telling him every half-hour that "you

occasion to see that you are in any way
putting yourself out" for his benefit,
or that You are worried about his meat
or drink, or "afraid that his bed does
not quite suit him." or by apologizing
for anything about the household.

Lerada, the Famous Bandit of Mexico,

There are many interesting incidents
related of Lerada, the remarkable In
dian who for eighteen years ruled the
Topic part of the Mexican Republic.
When boy he was engaged in herding
sheep and cattle on ranch near the
town of JaliscO. Every day there passed
on her way to and from school a very
pretty girl, of good family, and an ac-
quaintance began between them. She
always had her books, and on her re-
turn from school the two would retire to
some quiet place, where she would teach
him 10 read and give him his first ideas
of arithmetic and geography. He was ex-
ceedingly apt in learning and anxious to
acquire knowledge, and he improved it
in such a manner that he soon became
recognized among other Indians as SUI
perior to them. His master often ILL.,
treated him, and Lerada was often
heard to say he would revenge himself
The acquaintance with the girl ripened
into love, which was reciprOcated. He
had asked of her parents that he might
marry her, a proposition that was
scorned, the family calling him beg
gar. But he one day killed his master
and then fled to the mountains, taking
a number of Indians with him. After
increasing the number to eighty men,
he one night entered Jalisco, went to
me house OF the girl, took her out, and
,llled those of the family whom he
deemed had insulted him. He forced
he cure of Jalisco to go with him to
he camp on the mountains, and when
there made him marry him to the girl.

Improved Ideas OF Quality in the Draft
Horse.

In one thing there has been a very
marked change in the popular idea of
the draft horse for use in this country.
A few years ago great size was cOnsid-
cred the one thing needful in draft
horse. They were not exactly bought
and sold by the pound, like cattle or
swine, but the weight of the horse was
one of the first questions asked; quality
was lost sight of. This rage for size led
to the importation of many miserable
brutes, and to the perpetuatiOn of many
glaring defects in conformation, and to
the transmission of much hereditary I'M
soundness. But, thanks to the judy
ment of discriminating buyers, the pub
lie have come to understand that it
takes something beside. flesh and bone
to make good horse. Quality, action,
endurance, and temperament are now
closely scrutinized by all breeders of in
telligence, as well as by the buyers Of
horses for the great markets; and the
importer or breeder who now neglects
these essentials in his selections must go
into some other business.
What will be the ultimate effect of
this enormous influx of foreign draft
blood upon the horse stock of our West
ern Sta'es, where these importations
mainly fad Judgment, remains to be
seen. As before remarked. il is at pres
ent prof able business, both to the inn
porter and to the breeder; and we are
satisfied that the general increase in
size, which must inevitably result from
the extensive use of these draft stations,
can not fail to furnish us with the basis
for substantial Improvement if our
subsequent breeding shall be wisely con.

The Contents of q Snakes Stomach

A correspondent writing from Gene
va, Ca, says: "The largest rattlesnake
of the season was killed near here this
week by Alph Brown, an old freedman.
1t measured four feet and seven inches
in length, and had eleven rattles. Alph
says he has known the snake to be on
his premises for five years, but for two
years he has been missing until last
week. He was discovered under his
dwelling by his wife. He says she was
preparing dinner and had noticed her
pet cat about half way through burned
hole in the floor, which was his way of
entering the room, and in few mo-
ments bis mewing caused her to think
he was in distress. She called tom
mie,' but still he did not make his en-
trance, and the second time she took
him by the neck to pull him through,
and behold! the monster had swallowed
Toms tail, and she came near pulling
both through.
"She Immediately left for the field to
find Alph to help her conquer the enc
my. Alph came with his spade, but his
house being well planked around the
pillars he decided to try his luck with
hot water. He scalded at him for two
hours without success. He then went
two and q half miles and borrowed q
gun, raised plank in his floor, and gave
him charge Of fifteen buckshot, which
put an end to his rafting music. After
examining him for some time he decid-
ed to see what he had been feasting up
on, and, to his surprise, he found with
in him a pipe, a small pair of scissors,
two knife-handles, fourteen rats and q
portion of his wife's soap gourd. Alph
says he is satisfied he planked him up
fully two years ago. He has smelled
him often but could not find him. This
is the seventeenth one he has killed on
his place in three years.-Colun'bus

Kindness to Animals.

1t is fact beyond dispute. as any
observing naturalist will affirm, that
the closer the relation between animals
and man, the more intelligent and do
Gle will the animal become. Upon the
farm there is every reason WHY ami
mails. and especially horses, should be
treated, not as dumb beasts" but as
intelligent creations of the same Being
who made their master. The Arabs,
who are the most successful horse
trainers in the world, appreciate the
value of kindness, and by making their
horses equals in one sense-dwelling
with them in the same tent, bestoving
upon them almost the same love and
caresses as are bestowed upon their
children, who are allowed the colts for
playmates, the Arabian horse has be-
come the most intelligent and easily
controlled of is race. 1t is not enough
to feed an animal and give it COM
Portable bed: it has feelings as we'll as
Its master and can appreciate kindness.
It must be uniform kindness, however;
pet to-day and q kick tomorrow
amounting very nearly to continued
abuse at least, so far as the horses
temper is concerned. Many a horse
has been injured, if not spoiled. by be-
ing placed in the care of a half-grown
boy, whose only indea Of driving, and
showing his authority, seemed to be
jerking at the reins and yelling. On
feeling or impatient hired help. also. do
much toward ma ing ugly or tricky"
horses. An animal treated with un-
varying kindness will soon learn to have
confidence in its master. and is there
fore more readily trained. In Belgium,
horses are so well trained that thew are
guided almost wholly bv word of mouth,
the driver relying upon the intelligence
of his horse rather than upon the bit.
A Belgian plow-horse in an awkward
situation will obey readily as many as
five separate and distinct orders. the
single check-rein meanwhile remaining
attached to the plow-handle. leaving
the drivers hands free for the harder
task of guiding the pillow. This certain
~ illustrates the economy OF having
trained animals for farm work. There
is much in finding out the peculiarities
of horses disposition; he NAV have
some whims that it will pay to COCA
sionallv indulge: Make him feel your
friendship. treating him firmly but with
uniform kindness, showing that you are
not only his master but friend, and he
will return the kindness with interest.

Our Young Folks.
SAINT EMILY.

When grass grows green in spring-timA
And trees are b ldding gay.
When the breath Of bursting lilacs
Makes sweet the air OF May.
When cowslips fringe the brooksides,
And viOlets ReIl the deils,
And tremtle mid the MOSES
The wind-iiOwers' slender bells,
When the fragrant lily rises
From its ing sheath of green.
In the city's narrow alleys
Saint Emily is seen.
A modest little maiden,
She walks secure from harm;
A basket, tiower-laden,
Swings lightly On her arm,
And right and lief: she scatters.
Alike to bad and good.
The be luties of the garden.
The treasures o! the wood.
When summer days drag slowly,
In languor, hea' and pain,
To those who lie IN hospital,
Never to rise AGAIN,
Dreaming, with favefed longing,
OF shady country homes,
Where roses hang in clusters,
And hOneysuckIe blooms,
From cot to cot, so softly,
Moves dear saint Emily,
And here a rose she prOfferS,
And there buG lays she.
The close abode of sickness
she fills with fragrant bloom;
Her gentle pre- sepce passes
Like music through the room;
And many Il moaning sufferer
HusheS his sad cOmplainC,
And follows with his weary eyes
The movements of this saint.
When autumn paints the woodlands
With scarlet and with gold,
When the blua-gentlan's lids unclO0e
In frosty meadows cold.
From the little tr,Op of children
That crowd some orphan Home,
The joyous shout arises,
''Saint pily has come ~
And round her close they gather,
An eager little Dand.
While from the well-stored basket
She ills each Ou'srretched hand
With p Irple hillside aSters,
And wondrOus golden-rOd,
And all the lingering flowers that love
To dress he autumn sod:
And palli cheeGS tuSh rOsv,
And he IVY eyes grow bright.
And little hearts, fOrlOrn and lone,
Stir vita II deep delight.
And when the woods are naked,
And lowers no longer blow.
When the green hooks they love 80 well
Are buried IN the snow,
Not quite unknown that presence
To children sick in bed,
Bearing bright wreaths of autumn leaves
And strings Of berries red.
A Heaven-sent mission, surely,
To cheer the sick and poor
With bOuntieS that the bOunteOuS God
Has strewn beside our door
To gladden. little children,
TO comfort dying hours,
To bear to wretched hearts and homes
The gospel of the flowers.
What marvel if glad blessings
Surf Ound Saint Emily
What marvel if some loving eyes
In her an angel see.-
Yet MANY a thoughtful boy or girl
As sweet q saint might be.

The Chicago Times says congress never
demonetized the silver dollar, and, there
fore, could never have remonetized it. The
act of 1873 omitted to provide for the coin
ing of silver dollars, but it did not deprive
those existing at that time Of their legal
tender capacity. Very few existed then, as
only about $4,000, 900, all told, had been
struck at the mint, and most of them had
gone into cabinets or the melting-pot, but
the few that did exist were as much legal
tender after as they were before the
passage Of the act of 1873. Those since
coined are full legal tender, rs stated, the
only difference between them and the old
ones being that they are coined wholly on
government account, whereas the old ones
were coined mostly on private account.
The subsidiary coins were legal tender to
the amount of SIS only in any one payment
until the summer of 1870, when an act was
passed making them legal tender to the
amount of so in any single payment.
