Try Kindness.

Says Our Dumb Animals Here are
few pertinent and truthful words from
a good friend to ANIMALS -
Human nature and brute nature are
much more alike than people generally
imagine, and if we were to apply the
same general rules in the government
of animals which actuate us in the CON
troll OF children and grown persons. our
success would be much more certain.
while the process would be far more
agreeable to all concerned. If we de-
sire a hayward child to do thus and so.
we do not take a raw-hide and lash him.
but we simply indicate our wishes in an
intelligent manner, and point out the
reason why certain procliyities must not
be INDUCED in. As 0 0 as the child
clearly understands, ten to one it is
ready to obey. 1t is precisely the same
with colts and holseS, only, as we IAN
not indicate plainly by words what we
desire, we should resort to ingenious
but always patient management. The
whip is the parent to s~tubborness in a
hlgh-spirited animal, while gentleness
VIII win obedience, and, at the same
time, attach the animal to US.
1T is the easiest thing imaginable to
to win the affection of animals, and es-
pecially of horses. An apple, a potato
or a few Jumps of sugar given from the
hand, now and then, will IL the
horse to prick up his ears at the sound
OF his owners footstep, not with fear
but with a low, whinnying note of pleas
ure. The confidence of the noble beast
thus gained, will lead him to obey the
slightest intelligent tom of voice or in
dication of the bit. There is no such
thing as balkiness to be found in a horse
thus treated he shows a desire to obey.
whereas a few lasheS of the whip. smartIv
applied, if he be Il horse worth having.
viii arouse i'll him a spirit of retaliation
ana StubbornesS that may cost the
owner hours of trouble, and possibly
danger to life and limb. Horses are
made gentle by kindness. They 'be-
lievc in the master they love, and his
voice will calm them in a moment of fear
or induce them to struggle forward
even when oy%erladen, and when a whip
would be sun to bring them to a stub
born standstill.
n man knows the true value of his
horse until he has won his regard and
confidence, as it were. The whip will
never do this. a kind hand and gentle
voice will act like magic thus we have
known women who could handle and
drive horses, that would almost inevita-
bly, show some vicious traits in the
hands of a male driver. These facts
apply especially to the rearing and
training of Young colts, something
which the Arabs understand better than
we do. They do not break their colts.
they adapt them they fondle them
from their birth and pet them always.
An Arab would rs soon strike his wife
or his daughter as his horse, and no an
imals in the world are t%lcetcr. more en-
during or nor docile in the perform
auce of every task winch is given them
than is the Arabian horse. We would
like to see the whip wholly discarded"

A young German girl named Annie
Lauser, aged 10, was left in sole charge
of her employers house on Madison
Square, New York, during the family's
absence in the country. On returning
from an errand the other evening she
saw a man coming up the basement
stairs, his arms laden with plumber.
and by using both hands broke from
her grasp and vaulted over the railing.
He and Annie reached the sidewalk
simultaneously. He struck the girl in
the face and she threw both arms
around his body. He tripped her and
both fell heavily to the pavement. BY
a desperate effort he regained his feet,
dragging the girl up with him. Owing
to her failing powers he freed himself
from her grasp and attempted to run.
but she grapped him by the oat and
tore it from his back. They again fell
and rolled over and over from the rail
ing to the curb. Her clothes were rent
to shredS, but she held on. Finding her
hold relaxing she screamed for the first
time, This brought two policemen,
who arrested the burglar. Then Annie
went into the house, washed her hands
and face, combed her hair, slipped on
another dress. walked to the station
house, made complaint against the
burglar, walked ont cody, returned
home, slept well, and had no need Of
medical attendance. In the police court

Freaks OF Fashion.

Short round basques are becoming
fashionable, instead of the long cuiras-
sesthat turn up at the edges when the
wearer is sitting. These are in square
battlements, or in leaf points or slender
curves, and the edges are heavily corded.
Vatican overdresses are in.great favor
with young ladies'. The large fold al
the back, which is the principal feature
of the dress, is caught up below the
waist to form dEapery.
In the arrangement of the couture,
heavy bangs, "Montagues,n or thick
rings OF hair, are now considered .'bad
form by the most fashionable people,
and only the lightest, babyish fluff OF
hair now shades the forehead.
The color most popular at the mo-
ment in Paris is myrtle green, a shade
which almost yerges on the blue of
marine green. 1t will probably be the
most popular color here this Fall and
Winter. An immense proportion OF
green cloths in all the dark shades have
been imported. Garnet in bright colors
so bright as to be called crdm0ise in
the French list of colors-will be chosen
by ladies whose pale or sallow complex
ION renders green an u~nbecoming color.
Olive, prune, bronze, seal, plum, navy
blue hussar, a daik shade of cadet blue,
and electric, a light shade of the same
color, are all stylish colors. Coppery
red and iron red, which are called gen
orally te%rra-cotta, are as far removed
from the color of terra-cotta clay as the
crevette or shrimp pink from the color
OF the little %crustacean, which gives its
name to the tint. Violet and royal
purple plum color are also stylish
shades. Among evening tints, bronze
dart gold, old gold, shrimp pink, elec.
trio blue, pale blue, rose pink, poppy
red, crimson and heliotrope are shown
Bosphorus is SO called from the color o.
the classic sea, and is a pale tint o,

Stevens for Assemblyman.

The second assembly district has re-
nominated for a%ssemblyman Hon. D. B.
Stevens of C'assville. As the gentleman
fe~licitously said in his speech returning
thanks to the convention he was last
winter a pupil in the school Of legisla-
ture. But despite this disadvantage he
managed to make himself heard and felt
on the floor in a I'M that convinced
his constituents the best thing they
could do was to renominate him. The
denomination of Mr.. Stevens breaks the
precedent which has heretofore obtained
in this district of cone term and out"
The practice was a pernicious one. Bet
rimental TO the best interests of the dis
trict in that it gave the member from
the district barely time to become ac-
~quainted with the seat of government
before he had to give way to another.
1t now rests with the Republicans of
the district to roll up their sleeves and
elect the gentleman by a handsome ma
jority. This can easily be done and the
past record of Mr.. Stevens is evidence
sufficient that the district will have
reason to be proud of its action.

Depended UpOn the Man,

When OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Ogle served
Somersets frosty son of thunder in
the Pennsylvania legislature, it fell to
him to write, in behalf of the Democrat
ic members, a letter to General Jackson
then stepping across the Presidential

a labor of love, and in submitting to the
caucus what he had written the General
said: Gentlemen, and members of the
Democratic party: | hold in my hand a
letter addressed by Mr.. Alexander Ogle
to General Andrew Jackson, and | have
no hesitation in saying it is q damned
able paper" The members, gathering
around, agreed that the letter was Just
the thing to make Old Hickory's heart
thump with satisfaction, and all except
one, a dapper little Philadelphian, spoke
words of praise. This dandy of the
House, fixing his glasses and scanning
the page with the critic smirk, ventured
to remark: Pardon me, General, lido
not assume to make a suggestion to so
distinguished a gentleman as yourself,
but cannot refrain from saying that it
is customary in the East, and | may say
in almost all the civilized countries of
Europe, to write with the capital Il in
stead of the little Il in using the per-
sonal pronoun in epistolary correspon-
dence.' General Ogle drew down his
heavy brows, piercing the dandy's mar
row with the fierce Shaft of scorn that
shot from his eye. Sir" he said, be-
ginning with a hiss and ending with a
roar, "when | write to such a great,
