The Irish-American sharply criticises the
latest utterance of Michael Dayitt as fol-
lows: " Mr. Davitt has recently declared
that but for the English army the Irish PEG.
pie would not tolerate the landlord garri-
som for twenty-four hours; and yet in order
to get rid of this oppression of the army,
Mr.. Davitt is said to be ready to give the
British government the title in fee simple to
the soil of Ireland, which island has always
protested it never yet had, either in law or
in equity. That is, the Irish people have
asserted that the land held by the landlords
was wrested from them, the people, wrong
fully by force Of arms, and that it was their
right to reclaim it when and how they
could. Now Mr. Dayitt says, o. is said to
have said, that certain money payment by
the British government should give it all
the rights of proprietofship, az of contract
This of course, would carry with it politi-
cal sovereignty, and it would be an ac-
acknowledgement that payment to the land
lords was payment to the Irish people,"

Dutch Skates.

Two kinds of skates are used, of dis
tinctive character, but both intended
for runniug-straight ahead travelling
no nonsense or fancy figuring. No;
first and foremost rapid locomotion on
the principle inculcated by Euclid, that
the nearest way from one place to an
other is straight line drawn between
those two points. The Friesland skate
is very light indeed, and its iron very
thin and narrow-not much thicker than
the back of the blade of a carvipg-knife;
the wood Is low on the blade and close
to the ice, and carried up high on the
prov of the blade, which terminates in
little brass acorn; the blade touches
the ice all along the length of the foot.
The way In which Dutch skares are
fixed on to the boots is likely totake the
! English skater by surprise, particularly
when it is impressed upon him that to
tie them on as loosely as possible is the
greatest desideratum in the country.
Small line or rope or stout string is
generally used, and not straps; these
would be too firm, and think our
friends in Boverland might be inclined
to look upon them as "foppish." This,
then, Is the Friesland skate. Now let
us take the South Holland form. This
Is not so much q running form, but is
more especially adapted for what is
called the Dutch roll. In this South
Holland form the iron Is slightly curved,
like an English skate, Immediately un-
der the foot; its principal characteristic
il the very long sweep OF the iron for
ward in front The fastening is rather
hrmer, but the same In action as the
other-Good Words.

Forcing Rhubarb.

Outside of places where there are pro-
fessional gardeners, the forcing of veg
etsbles is very little known in this coun-
try. People in general are content with
" things in their season." aud do not
trouble themselves to force or retard.
Perhaps the easiest vegetable to force Is
rhubarb, and by taking a little trouble,
material for pies and sauce may be had
some weeks in advance of the supply
from the open ground. The things
needed are clumps of rhubarb ro,ts,
soil, and a dark, warm place. The
roots should be dug before the ground
freezes. As fine rhuharb as we ever
saw was forced in barrel or cask; the
roots, packed in on layer of soil and
surrounded by it, the cask covered
tight. and set near the furnace in the
cellar A box to hold the roots, and set
in q cupboard or closet in the kitchen
viii answer !, or box or barrel may be
placed in the kitchen. Keep moderate
ly warm, and see that the roots are suf-
6ciently moist. A few roots will give an
astonishingly abundant supply, much
more tender and crisp and less violently
sour than the outdoor crop.-A1nerican

Hindoo Prodigality.

Wealthy Hindoos are often lavishly
ostentatious when q death, marriage,
or one of the annual religious festivals
offers them an occasion for parading
their generosity. They illuminate gar
dens that reflect the pleasures of their
paradise; they throw their mansions
open to all corners; they feed troops OF
beggars and priests for days and some
times for weeks. And although the
Bengali, as q rule, is frugal to stingi-
ness, looking closely to the expenditure OF
each rupee, the observance of his faith
must be heavy tax on him. As the
Brahmins live at the expense of the lay
men, It is to their interest to see that
these observances are maintained. The
great Doorga Poojah festival in itself
must be fruitful source of embarrass-
ments and insolvencies. Everybody is
bound, if possible, to live in luxury for
the time, to indulge in merrymaking
that degenerates into orgies, and to
dress in new and sumptuous clothing
from head to foot. "Persons in
straightened circumstances, who actu.
ally live from hand to mouth, deposit
their hard-earned savings for twelve
month to be spent on this grand festi-
val" The beggars have their wants
RELY relieved, and it is the season to
which mendicant Brahmins look for
ward as the occasion for replenishing
their empty purses. According to the
author, it has been roughly estimated
that f10,00O,000 is spent annually in
Bengal alone, directly or Indirectly
And the Doorga Poojah only represent
on an exaggerated scale waste that is
going forward at intervals through all
the rest of the year. Either on religion,
grounds or on the occasion of family
ceremonies there are many days when
circle of acquaintances must be enter
tanned, and when offerings which be-
come the perquisites of the oficiat-
ing priests must be laid before
the shrine of the tutelary idol.
So the Brahmius victimize the supersti-
tious community, and yet the numbers
of the sacred caste are so great that
most of them barely keep body and soul
together. There Is 4 common saying
that Brahmin is q beggar, even If he
possesses lakh of rupees, and eff an
officiating priest can m Ike ten rupees a
month, he considers himself very well
off," Naturally they can not afford to
be scrupulous, and it seems strange that
with their unblushing mendicity and
their open disregard Of morality, they
retain their hold even on their ignorant
ievotees. The author relates facts to
show that the most sacred laws of the
caste are sacrificed to pecuniary tenn pta-
tions. The heads of the order have con-
sented to condone the most dagrant of.
fences when the culprit could afford to
bribe them sufficieutly.-London Times.

About Buying Horses.

Few persons have sufficient expert
ence and Judgment to select q horse
with any reliable certainty of getting
what they want A farmer can buy
pig and not be deceived 1t requires
only small amount of experience to
select flock of sheep. Dairy farmers
naturally acquire considerable expert
ence in regard to the qualities of dairy
stock, as a result of constant care given
to such stock. But when it comes to
dealing in horses, those who can rely
wholly upon their own unaided judg
ment are few. There are so many
things requisite to constitute good
horse, and the absence of many of these
requisites is very hard to detect. The
defects of form, constitution and tenn
permanent are hard to discover and very
easy to conceal temporarily. A rough,
hard skin, indicative of poor digestion,
may be concealed in measure by good
grooming. Many incipient weaknesses
and blemishes of the feet and limbs are
exceedingly difficult to detect while the
animal Is in motion. Horse dealers are
wen aware of this, and almost alway
show OF their animals to intending pur-
chasers by keeping them in motion.
Many men want to see q horse put
through his best PAGES, and very often
insist on it, This is q great mistake, rs
it really tells nothing, and sometimes
conceals great deal Defects of the
feet or limbs can never be ascertained
while an animal is in motion, unless in
case Of positive lameness, and even
then the extent and location of the in
jury can be ascertained with much
greater certainty while the animal is at
rest. It Is hard to ascertain whether q
horse is balky, or q kicker, or has run
away, until he actually does it again.
The inexperienced purchaser can al
ways exact q definite warranty nom q
responsible seller, or in default of such
warranty, can insist upon chance TO
try the horse. In, any case where an
honest dealer wishes to sell q horse for
what the animal is worth, he cannot re-
fuse TO warrant a horse In any required
particular. Any other course savors
strongly of an attempt to deceive one
who has no sufficient means of acquir-
ing 3 knowledge of defects and faults
easy to be concealed. Any honest deal
or can have no objection to any course
that will give the fullest information to
the intending purchaser. 1t is easy to
say that 3 farmer should raise his own
horses; many farmers do not care to do
this. Often q farmer is obliged to pur-
chase; he cannot go without horses,
and it requires more time to breed them
A farmer cannot always buy a horse
which he knows to be q good one, for
quite likely the owner of that good
horse wishes to keep him; hence the
necessity of caution when buying q
horse.-Cor. Country Gentleman as'
