A Remarkable Ponv.

A Northumberland and extraorlin-
airy case of the sagaciiy of the Shet-
land pony has just come under our
notice. A year or two ago, Mr.. Wan.
Sinclair pupil teacher, Holm, imported
one of these little animals from Shct-
land, on which to ride to and from
school, his residents being ut cvlsid-
cradle distance from the school-build-
ings. Up to that time. the animal had
been unshOd; but some time afierward
MIR. Sinclair had it shOd by Mr.. Pratt.
the parish blacksmith. The other day.
Mr.. Pratt, whose smithy is long dis
lance from Mr.. Sinclair's house, saw
tho pony, without halter or any thing
upon it. walking up to where he was
working. Thinking the animal had
strayed from home, he drove it off,
throwing stones after the beast to make
it run h0meward. This had the desired
effect for q short time; but Mr.. Pratt
had only got fairly to work once more
In the smithy when the pony's head
again made its appearance at the door.
On proceeding second time outside
to drive the pony away, Mr.. Pratt, with
a blacksmith's instinct, took look at
the pony's feet, when he observed that
one of its shoes had been lost. Having
made a shoe, he put it on, and then
waited to see what the animal would
do. For o moment it looked at the
blacksmith rs If asking whether he was
done, then paved once or twice to see
If tho newly-shod foot was comfortable.
and finally gave pleased neigh. erect
cd his head. and started home at II
brisk trot. The owner was also exceed
ingly surprised to find the animal at
home, completely shod. the same even
ing; and it was only on calling at the
sniithy some days afterward that he
learned the full extent of his pony's
sagacity. Orkney Herald

Let Your Cattle lsipcn.

Ii any one will watch the reports
of the cattle market. they will learn
Il valuable lesson. Nearly half of all
the heevcS that 20 10 market are not
ready. They are not ripe. There is
ALWAYS Il good market ami high prices
for good ripe beevcs. The last few
weeks feed is what puts the price OH
the animal, aS the owner gets good
prices for the additional per pound
for the entire weight. a farmer
never gets his pay for his work and
outlay when he sells his steers before
they are fully ripe for market. We
are not writing this FOR the inform
alton of intelligent cattle feeders.
They all know and practice what we
are trying 10 impress upon the poor
feeders. and who are pursuing IA course
always 10 make them poor IL. purse.
Frequently "A shrewd cattle feeder
buys steers and feeds them few
weeks. and gets more for those weeks
than the former owner did for two
years feeding. The markets are
always crowded with poor beeves,
and there i, always a reinunerative
demand for good ones. IL is Il rare
case that beef can not be made fat.
II there he such an animal there
must be something wrong about him,
and he is not iii for beef at any price.
And when corn and grass are 80
plenty and 50 cheap, for man to
present lean cattle in the beef market
j. evidence there is Il radical weak
ness somewhere in the system OF the
owner. and the sooner he has a guard
ian the better it will lie for his fam.
lily. The times demand better class
of beef than former years. And al
though all of the interior western
towns are fed OH poor and tough
beeves, such as shippers dare not
send To market, yet Il large majority
OF the beeves offered in larger
market are unsuited to the demand,
and never pay the owner for raising
and feeding. This subject needs
many lessons Des Moincs Register.

A Wedding in Lapland.

A wedding is announced at the

The groom is thick-set, stout man.

woman he holds, we hope gently, by

black. A long white veil depends from

Stories About q Famous HYMN.

"A curious mistake" says q CORES.
pOndent, ''was made on the hand-b bill
distributed among the wOrshipers at
Westminster Abbey yesterday evening.
1t has been found convenient to print

day appeared the well-knOwn hymn be-
ginning:

thorship: Hon. Walter Shirley, 1874.
The compiler of the handful seems to
have trusted To the editorial accuracy of
John Wesley. in whose collection of
hymns the composition in question was
first attributed to Shirley. In two
other collections 1t is assigned to some
poet named MADAM, who is otherwise

Glance at an English City.

DIR. G. W. Ballard, Of Albert Lea,
Is well known To many OF the readers
of the FREE PRESS. who have visited
the Doctors beautiful residence and
highly ornmncnted grounds overlook
ing beautiful lakes and the most
charming scenery. The Doctor has
been travelling on the continent of
Europe and has found time to notice
points of interest and happenings in

~ embodied in series of letters to

beautiful and substantial bridge,
comes to an abrupt end i'm front of an
inspiring archway of stone, This is
the main entrance TO Eaton Hall, one
of the immense estates belonging to
the Duke. (The park is almost twelve
miles in length by about eight in
breadth. IL is Il four mile ride from
the entrance TO the Hall. The lawn,
gardens and Conservatives cover
about sixty acres, and require the
services of about fifty men TO keep
them in order. The remainder of
the park is occupied by the forests
and game preserves, the breeding
establishment for race horses, and
numerous farms occupied by tenant
farmers. There are within the park
walls numerous buildings occupied
by the laborers employed upon the
estate. and quite Il number Of resi-

American Silks.

An English periodical estimates that
fully third of the plain silks and a
large proportion of the brocadc silks
worn there are manufactured in the
United States. Our manufacturers, ac-
cording To this authority, have set their
faces against "loading," which prevails
in Europe. Nearly all European broad
black silks are doubled. sometimes even
trebled. in weight in the dycing of tic
yarn. The yarn is repeatedly dipped
in nitrate of iron until sufficiently
weighted. after which it is passed
Through BATH of prussiate of potash,
and then treated with gambler and
acetate Of iron. To brighten it. it is
next passed through logwood bath
and well soaked; if it is to be soft and
saiin-like, it is oiled and treated with
soda; if it is TO be stiff and rustling. il
is dipped in acid. No wonder after
this that the black silk cracks in the
folds or wears 'shiny." The way to
ascertain whether the silk has been put
through such u course is simply TO
burn u pattern of it. Pure silks crisp
instantly, leaving a small quantity OF
charcoal; loaded silk shoulders TO u
yellow ash.
