Horses on which blinders are used are
shy and likely to be skittish. Remove
these, and they overcome both immedi-
ately. There is a reason for this.
When blinders are worn, horses can
not see anything behind them or at their
sides; or near so well in front as without
them. In consequence of this things are
brought so suddenly to their notice that
il frightens them, whereas if they came
In sight gradually and fully, they would
not be frightened at all.
To prevent horse being scared, if dis
posed to when first put into harness with
out blinders, take him behind the car
riage, and at the sides, and let him touch
these with his nose and smell them well.
If curtains enclose the carriage, as is US
ual in a rockaway, loosen and shake them
in the face of the horse; then stand him
fronting the carriage, between the shafts,
and if buggy, raise and lower the top,
to accustom him to this. If these fright
en- him little, repeat until he gets ac-
cistomed to it, and then attach him TO
the vehicle.

Beautiful Answers.

"What is gratitude ?"
Gratitude is the memory of the

What is hope?"
Hope is the blossom of happiness"
What is the difference between hope
and desire?"
Desire is tree in leaf; hope is tree
in flower; and enjoyment is tree in

"What is eternity ?"
A day without yesterday or to-mor-
row line that has no end"
What is time ?"
"a line that has two ends a path
which begins in the cradle and ends in

"What is God ?"

As soon as the Sultan Of Zanzibar was
informed that several Christian and Mo-
hammedan fugitives, who had escaped
with their families fiom Egypt, had Ian
ded at Zanzibar, he gave immediate or
defs to his men to treat them with Arab
hospitality, making no distinction of
creed or race. They were accordingly
provided with dwellings, good clothing
and all other necessities. The Sultan
constantly visited them, to see for him.
self whether his directions were being
attended to. The poor fugitives were ex-
tremely grateful for what had been done
for them, and constantly invoked heav-
ems blessing upon their benefactor. The
Sultan's kindness did not stop here, for
when the fugitives wished to return to
their homes he gave orders to his treas
urer to provide them with money and
other necessities. The Sultan rcpudiates
having given any help to the Egyptian
national party, and affirms that his rea-
sons for assisting the fugitives were purely
philanthropic.

Prince jesse Grant.
'ndon Cor. San Francisco Argonau

London Cor. San Francisco Argonaut
was told the other day by friend
who happened to be at Windsor when
Gen. Grant and his son, Jesse, dined
there with the queen, and stayed all
night at the castle, the following, which
may be of interest to those who know
young Grant and his ways There were
a good many stories told at the time at
the young mans expense, l remember,
most of which got into the papers, but
don't think this was ever made public:
Mr.. Jesse, it seems, was sitting in the
smoking room of the castle with half a
dozen Others ('he general not yet having
joined the party, smoking away and
holding forth at the same time with a
tumbler of brandy and soda on the arm
of his chair.
There is one thing about this country
Of yours, gentlemen" he said, when the
frA lull in the general conversation gave
him good opening, (which strikes me
as peculiar. 1t il this: Take your prince
of Wales here. Let him 90 out shooting
tomorrow morning and not come home
at night. Why, the whole country would
be up in arms looking for him. Aint
that so?" There was a general acqui-
escence. swell, suppose now should 60
out for hunt at home and be gone six
months, do you think any one In the
whole of America, except my own folks,
would care q cent? Not much"

THE THREE IUGGIEs.

Divining ones future by means of the
three dishes or ''luggies" was a common
game both in Ireland and Scotland. The
plates were filed respectively with, pure
water, earth and ashes, and the player,
advancing blindfolded, plunged his hand
at random into whichever ho could reach.
The water foretold speedy marriage,
the ashes life Of single blessedness, and
the mould an early grave.
Without being altogether cheerful, this
was at least easier than trying to catch
with ones teeth an apple tied to a hang
ing stick, whose other end held fast a
lighted candle threatening destruction to
face and hair. Even ducking for apples
on a cold night requires fair amount of
courage, and is far more amusing for the
lookers-on than for the participants in
the sport, who are apt to get soaking
for their pains.
Finally, it was believed that babies
born on this mystic night were endowed
with special powers regarding the super
natural world that the elves watched
over them with particular care, and that
they were permitted-(a doubtful privi-
lege)-to hold converse with the fairies
and spirits, who manifested themselves
on All Hallows' Eve.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.
.prrcrrs AND ITEMS OF INTEREST
TO rILLERs OF THE SOIL.

The flesh of the sheep is the best meat
in the world; it is also the poorest A
lean, thin sheep that has outlived its use
fulness as a wool bearer, and been cut
down by the ruthless knife as cumber-
er of the pasture ground, and consigned
to the pot in the vain hope of macerating
its toughened fibers, affords an unsayory
and unpalatablc meal, which has taught
many to loathe the very name Of mutton
and abominate its very smell.
On the contrary, not the aromatic flaw
ors of venison, the gamey richness of the
wild fowl, or the juiciness of a shorthorn
sirloin can surpass the virtues of South
down marrow and fatness. 1t is sweeter
to the palate, more digestible, and more
nutricious than any othervariety of meat
food.

Corn Fodder.

The blade is the best portion of the
fodder, being better for horses than hay,
owing to its cleanliness. Instead of cut
ting the stalk close TO the ground we ad-
wise our readers to try field by gather.
ing all the leaves below the ears when
Just about TO change color, and tie them
in little bundles of about six inches in
diameter Blades will do to tie with, and
each bundle can be hung to the stalk by
slipping the end of the tie in behind the
ear. This allows the fodder to cure with
out touching the ground, and being the
best portion of the corn nothing can COM
pare with it.
The labor is very little, as one man can
go over large space in day. After do
ing this, pass over the field and cut the
tops above the corn, bundle, stack loosely
and, after curing, haul all directly to the
barn.
But keep them separate, for the tops
are best for cattle.
The stalk is now left, with the ears
hanging to it, When ready pass over the
field, jerk the corn of, toss into wagon,
and haul TO the barn. 1t can then be
husked at leisure in winter or on wet
days on the floor of the barn.
This method is styled bladipg and top
ping, and if farmers will give it trial
they will have fodder of better quality,
can cut away the stalks at any time from
the field, will avoid the hard work of out
door husking, and will find that instead
of creating additional labor they have
lessened it. II can easily be tried on a
small space by way of experiment.
The Osceola times., 1882-12-09

Cows, when at liberty TO select their
sleeping places, out of doors, will be OBJ
served always to lie down upon the side
of a dry knoll, if there is one in the yard
or pasture, never lying with the back
down hill, but always with this toward
the higher ground. This affords more
than one lesson pointing towards thrift;
and bear in mind that there can be no
full measure of thrift without comfort.
These lessons are Q) no farm animal will
select resting or sleeping place that is
not entirely dry, unless forced into wet
one; (2) that the comfort of the COW,
while confined in the stall, can be added
to by giving her an abundance of bed
ding, and this may afford an ample cush-
ion in whichever direction she turns her
back.

Washing Blankets.

A Philadelphia subscriber asks for a
good way to wash blankets. The follow
ing method has been used with great sue
cess for years:
For half dozen blankets take one
pound of borax dissolved in gallon of
boiling water, with pound of pure
white soap, shaved up finely. Stir until
all is melted. Then put the blankets
to be washed in tub, as many as
will go in, and turn water upon them
Just warm to the hand, and mix with it
the solution of borax and soap.
If three double blankets are to be
washed, take half the mixture at one
time.
Never rub soap upon any kind of wool
en-, or rub the blankets, but souse them
up and down in the suds, squeeze them
in the hands, and pull them from one
hand in the other until all of the dirt is
removed. If there are spots of grease on
the blankets little borax can be gently
rubbed upon them until they are extract
ed, but much rubbing will full up the
texture. When white and clean rinse in
lukewarm water, and use two waters if
one does not leave them white. Wiring
through wringer, hang on the line, and
pull straight and smooth.
Blankets should be washed on a sunny
day, when they can dry quickly, and be
folded up before the dew commences to
fall They do not need to be ironed, but
can be passed through a mangle if one is
at hand. They can be put between two
mattresses and pressed, or put on shelves
in the linen closet, and heavy material
placed on them.

NOVELTIES IN HEAD-GEAR,
Hats with High Crowns and Broad Brims
and In Grotesque shapes.
n. Y. Post.

\. I, Post.
Winter hats, in new shapes and novel
garnitures, are rapidly appearing, and
most wild and grotesque are many of the
'latest" Indeed, at first glance at the
show cases which are now exhibiting the
representative styles of both Paris and
London, it would appear that the bizarre
and outre will be the marked features of
all our winter chapeaux.
They are larger than ever, the crowns
are higher, the brims broader, and the
dents and smashes in the latter are some
thing amazing to behold.
Among these grotesque shapes is an
old-fashioned model revived, once known
as the spoon" bonnet, so amusingly car
featured by Leech. In one of the most
fashionable uptown establishments are
a number of these curious shapes. To
understand how this model looks take 2
poke bonnet, put it on ysur friends
head, and then compress the sides of its
ilaring brim between your hands until it
