Colts.

You can not beat and swear colt
into good horse. This course has been
pursued ever since the first few colts
were foalcd, and the universal verdict
is that ii is lamentable failure. Even
they who whip the hardest and swear
the loudest will agree to that verdict.
The Arab, rs is well known, brings the
horse to such marvellous perfection rs
characterizes Arabian horses. through
the exercise of unvarying kindness from
the time the colt is foaled until the
horse dies. The family and the colt
occupy the same apartment frequently,
and the animal is at all times perfectly
familiar with the voice and touch of
those about him. He fears nothing,
for there is nothing to fear. He learns
from the very beginning that man is his
friend and protector. The idea of mas
ter which obtains among us, is never
entertained in Arabia, while in truth the
Arabian is more truly and perfectly the
master of the animal than we are. We
are apparently satisfied with the name,
and with what satisfaction comes from
acting the role of the tyrant, while the
Arab seeks the reality and does not as.
pire to be tyrannical.
As soon as we learn the important
lesson which Arabian horsemanshiI
teaches we shall have more good horses
and shall be better satisfied with our
selves We shall then find the col
broken at the time we now usually be
gin to break 1t, for from the very com
mencement of its existence, we shall
begin TO accustom it to being handled
and gradually accustom 1t to trapping
which win resemble the harness, unit
when the time comes for turning tn
play into reality, the work will have al
been done. This should be the aim o
every horse breeder. The confdenc
of the colt should be early won, and
can be won much easier in colthoo'
than 1t can be when the time has al
rived that we now call the breakin
time.
The age at which colt should be pr

The most OF our colts are put TO wor

rapidly. 1t may be said that our col

White Lace Dresses, Etc.

For dress occasions, for fetes and din
ners at the watcring-places, white lace
dresses are the first choice, and these
are made short, and are considered ap-
propriate both for day entertainments,
when hat of the lace may be worn
with it, or for the most elaborate dinner
party, where trained skirt was former
" de riguctr. White French laces,
woven precisely like the well-known
black French laces that initiate Chan
tilly, are the novelties for these dresses,
and are used in piece lace for the basque
and over-skirt, and with scalloped
edges as trimming lace. These
are made up over inexpensive and
soft white satin Surah rs q foundation
skirt and basque lining, and are
simply fashioned us position, or else
very short basque that is even around
the hips, and trimmed all around the
edge with full frills of the lace, or a lace
ruche with rosettes, or else with soft
putis, or it may be q panier drapery
that forms the old-fashioned panier
basque. The Surah lining is high in the
neck, and follows the outlines of the
basque, but all lining may be omitted
in the lace sleeves. The Surah skirt has
box-plaitings of Surah at the foot, on
which the garniture lace is arranged in
thick plaits at intervals, forming a
ruche, and the spaces between the plait-
ings are filled in with oblong
rosettest of very narrow white satin rib
bon so thickly clustered in loops
that five or six yards are required for
each rosette; sometimes several hun
drcd yards of ribbon are on single
dress, rs there are similar rosettes on
the sides of the skirt, down the front
of the waist to the point, and on the
Oriental net in the piece, with lace tc

and is trimmed with wide strips o.

Very Old Tracks.

A vessel which arrived at a Hartford
Conn dock with load of heavy stone
blocks had among the cargo some re-
markable specimens of the tracks of
fossil beasts and birds that once lived in
this valley. These slabs were taken
from a stratum about six or seven inches
thick, lying at n depth of about eighty
feet from the top of the quarry. Here
are tracks in relief. One, which meas
ures fifteen inches by eleven, and is
larger than the track of any living ele-
phant, shows the impression of the toes
very distinctly and Enthusiastically. and
also the reverse representation of the
impressions of the inner muscular pro-
jections of the bottom of tho huge foot.
OF these tracks there are three, on q
single slab five or six feet long and per-
haps yard or more wide and seven
inches thick. There is no mistaking
these tracks. They are evidently the
tracks of some huge beast, and one of
the elephant kind, too-and not any
mere accidental formation by other
causes.
One slab bears the unmistakable
tracks of some big three-toed bird
seemingly Of the ostrich family. These
tracks are remarkable for being almost
perfectly in a straight line-as II the

They Paid No Duty.


There Is celebrated restaurant down
town, the proprietor OF which sits, like
Zaccheus, at the receipt Of custom. He
is a persuasive foreigner, with most
engaging air and that effusion Of man

he is the latter's closest and dearest per-

Equally nattered by being taken into
his confidence and by the receipt of a
good imported cigar in exchange for
such nominal amount rs ten cents, the
customer felt himself bound over and
over again by strong personal tie to
the shrewd and insinuating gentleman
of the counter.
But alas! one bright Monday the Gus
tom-house authorities, always on the

actions of Imported cigars that had
paid no duty" and an official raid was
the natural result. A chief detective
grabbed the celebrated inexhaustible
cigar-box under the counter, and his
subordinate took possession of some
twenty or thirty Others of the same
brand.
"What's the matterp" inquired the
astonished restaurateur.
"I seize these cigars as smuggled
goods" replied the custom-house de-
tcctive.
The honest restaurateur burst out into
loud laughter.
"Donnerwetter! Dose is domestic

it would not be long before the murder

thing 10 do, and that was to pay the

Secret Of Raising Turkeys.

One of our most successful breeders
remarks on this point: One great
secret of raising turkeys is to take
care, and take care all summer; and
even then YOU can not raise them, for
sometimes they will not lay, or they
will not hatch, or something will befall
them. Sometimes we raise turkeys
without much care, when the season is
specially favorable, but generally the
measure of care Is the measure of sue
cess. A boy ten or twelve years old,
with little direction from his father,
can easily take care of two hundred
turkeys, and he can not earn so much
money on the farm in any other way.
1t is an old maxim that if a thing is
worth doing it is worth doing well.
Some may think this constant care is
too much trouble to raise turkeys.
This is free country, and you can
omit any part, or the whole, of these
suggestions. If you know better
course, by all means pursue it. This
painstaking has made turkey-r raising

by the increased attention and skill o
