Condition" in Horses.

Condition" has much to do with the
question of ability to undergo severe la
Dor in inclement weather without undue
hazard Condition is state Of the
body not acquired in day, as all ex-
perienced horsemen know. Without
this, the trotting or the running horse is
we'll understood to possess no hardness;
in other words, no power of endurance
under hard pushing, and at the same
time vital stamina that will enable the
possessor to ward off disease, though
hard pressed and over-heated. An at
tempt, often made by the novice to put
a horse in condition for hard labor by
suddenly increasing his feed, is ineyita-
bly, followed by failure. Only system
of prudent, steady feeding, daily, vigor-
Gus exercise of the muscles being prac-
ticed at the same time, will insure sue
cess. If this be omitted, the animal
will perspre freely with even moderate
exercise. His heart viii be found to
run up in the frequency of its motions,
humping against the ribs more or less
violently. This can easily be detected
by placing the ear over the region of
the heart, or in fact, over any part of
the chest in proximity to the heart
Suddenly feeding the horse up fixes a
tendency to this. Steady, muscular ex-
ertiQn builds against this tendency, and
virtually removes it, if the practice be
thoroughly carried out. DO not mistake
by supposing that these results will only
follow fast work. a severe pull-even
single effort, if severe--will cause as
vigorous spasmodic efforts of the heart
as though the animal had been brought
to his best speed under the lash. Nd

The First Mormon Sermon.

The first Mormon preacher was q nah
named Aldrich. heard bis first sermon,
says correspondent of the Salt Lake
Tribune. When hegot up in the school
house he said that he would not preach
the new gospel unless Gabriel bowed
his horn as sign that he endorsed his
views. just then loud blast Of horn
was heard, and then he began bis preach
ing. The horn business had peculiar
effect upon some of the congregation,
and as it sounded night after night, just
before he preached, many of the ignor-
ant were converted | was only aschool-
boy then, but myself and other school
boys determined TO watch the place
where the sound came from, and in a
grove of trees, not far from the school
house, we found the Gabriel up tree,
with ilsh-horn under his coat We
made him come down, and found him TO
be a worthless fellow whom Smith had
hired to toot for him,
One day when Aldrich was preaching,
he blew his horn, and q lot Of old women
came out, thinking the fish and clam

horn trick, and twas the aughing-stock
OF the town. We used to tell the man
to get u horn that was not iish-horn, SO
that the people need not rush out, ex-
peetlng clans.
The most astonishing thing about the
matter was that, although the fraud was
fully exposed, and the man who played
the part Of Gabriel was caught dozens
of times behind hedges and out-build-
ings, blowing his old horn for Aldrich
TO preach from, there were lots of peo-
pie who believed that the religion was
the only true religion, and plenty of peo-
pie joined the church, and even gave up

Scandinavian Honesty.

The traveller in Sweden and Norway
sees many customs which indicate that
the people are unusually courteous
and honest. At the railway dining sta
tons, large table is set in the centre
of q spacious room. Upon it are dis
played variety of tempting dishes, and
piles of warm plates with knives, forks,
and napkins
The passengers enter without confu-
sion, walk around the central table, Sc
lect what dishes they like best, and then
seat themselves at little marble tables
scattered in the room. Every person,
remembering that his neighbor may like
the dish of which he partakes, helps
himself with moderation For the din
ner fixed sum is charged, about thirty
nine cents; but wine, beer, and coffee
being ertraS, the guest tells how much
of each he has drank. His word is taken
without question, rs no one watches
him.
On board the steamboats, three meals
day are served, which, however, are
not included in the price of the passage.
After each meal, the passenger who has
partaken writes his name in large
book, and records under it what he has
eaten or drank.
When he is ready to 60 ashore, he
calls one of the waiters-a girl-who
puts the price against every item, adds
up the amount and puts the sum she
receives in her pocket. When the
money becomes too heavy, she gives it,
without counting, to the stewardess
All is left to the honesty of the peo-
pie. Instead of this confidence beget-
ting laxity, it makes everyone careful to
pay to the uttermost penny His honor
is at stake; therefore he feels obliged TO
be very particular.
Mr.. Du Chailu tells of servant girl
who brought him a gold locket which
he had dropped on the floor the previous
evening, while displaying his curiosi-
ties.
"Why did you not keep itP" he said,
playfully.
"How, then," she answered, "could
| ever walk erect and look people in the
face?n
He once had hardwork to make man
accept small sum Of money which he
had earned The honest fellow had
travelled on snow-shoes in the soft snow
for an hour TO restore to Mr., Du Chaillu
his gold watch and chain, which he had
left under his pillow at the house where
he had slept the evening before. Only
by showing him that he was paid for his
loss of time, and not for returning what
did not belong to him, could he be per-
suaded to accept the money.

Not a Minister.


An Arkansas paper tells story on
John A. Meeks, a travelling man for
We'll & Brother, of St. Louis. He had
just stepped off a train at small town
in the southern part Of the State, when
he was accosted by a countryman, who
asked, deferentially, "What isyour name,
pleaseP"
"Meeks."
"Well, Brother Meeks, am here with
spring-wagon, and am at your service.
Are you ready to 90 nowP Where is
your baggageP'
Meeks did not question the man who
had addressed him, supposing him to be
a merchant of the village not far distant.
He had been wondering if any means of
transportation would be within reach,
and considered himself fortunate in Sc
curing spring-wagon. The trip to the
village was mainly characterized by sill
ence. The driver made one or two al
lusions to religious matters, which
Meeks answered laconically. When the
spring-wagon arrived at the village,
Meeks was driven to the residence of
prominent citizen, Mr., George Young,
where an excellent supper was waiting.
Mr. Young and his family were de-
lighted to see the young man. Young
laughingly alluded to the large trunks
of his guest, remarking that the old sad
de-bag days were over. Meeks smiled
over a chicken bone, and aflably agreed
with his host.
After supper the party repaired to the
parlor, where miscellaneous CONVERSE
ton, tempered by religious tone, was
engaged in. Finally Mr. Young, hand
ing Meeks Bible, requested him toread
certain chapter which the young man
did. Then Young, clearing his throat
at one of his children, and nodding to
another, remarked:
Brother Meggs, lead us in prayer"
"Meggs, the deusew exclaimed Meeks.
'My name is not Meggs. What in
thunder does all this mean, any wayP l
am st. Louis drummer"
'What!n exclaimed Young. "Are you
not the man who was sent here to preach
Tor us tomorrow"
II am sent here to sell you goods, but
hanged if I'll preach for any body"
A rap at the door intcrruptedthe con-
versation. A young man, fatigued and
muddy, entered and introduced himself
rs Preacher Meggs, The mistake was
then explained The driver of the
spring-wagon had taken the wrong man.
Poor Meggs ''hoofed'' it seven miles.

Tommy's Reward for Returning S4,64O
to the Owner.

Tommy's Reward for Returning S4,640
to the Owner,
Tommy Burns, the freckled-faced
newsboy of the Union Depot, is a dis
gusted boy. Besides selling papers,
Tommy keeps an eye on things general
ly about the depot and particularly on
elongated cigar stumps. A dusty trav-
eler from Arkansas walked into the
ticket Office this morning, and swinging
faded evercoat between his legs he be-
gan negotiations for the purchase of
ticket to Louisville, Ky. Securing his
ticket, he was referred to the baggage
room to check a box which he dignitied
with the appellation Of trunk. AS he
turned to leave, the benjamin dropped
on the floor, and little Tommy picked it
up and handed it over to the ticket
agent Shortly after this Sergeant
Burke was standing in the ticket office,
when the Arkansas emigrantrushed fran
tically in and proclaimed the loss of his
coat. "Well, it's not worth much, is it?"
asked Sergeant Burke, whose quick eye
sized up the rest of the strangers habli-
ments.
''No; the coat amt worth much, but
it's got S4,640 sewed in the inside"
At this point in the discussion Tom
my's red Uranium popped up in the
group, and he shouted, II found your
coat, mister" The stranger was given
back his coat and 81, GAO, and turningto
Tommy Burns, said, I'm make you
