Training Animals.

The most successful way of training
an animal is To begin with it when quite
Young. Two things should supple

Kindness and decision these are es-
sentials. Many that have been raised
to handle animals all their lives have
but Il very poor idea of the extent to
which animals can be trained, render
ing them far more valuable and safe.
Those who have watched the perform
anceS of trick animals in shows should
he led to believe that animals can as
well be trained for greater usefulness
aS they can to perform tricks for shows
The trouble is that the average man
does not see the benefit of training his
dumb animals for usefulness or safety,
and they do not as Il general thing
give the brutcS credit for the powers
of comprehension that they are entitled
to. 1t is just as well to have tract
able, safe animal as to have wild.
vicious one, if You will commence to
train them when young and will eXer-
else the patience requisite to accom-
plish the desired end; and if this is
true in reference to the horse, it is also
true in reference to the COW. Cows
can he trained to come to a certain
place and remain quietly to be MIXED,
as well as not animals are naturally
attached to man, and after once being
handled are only rendered wild and
stubborn by unkindness and rough
usage. Commence with your animals
when quite young and train them to do
just what You wish them to do. Excr-
else kindness and patience and you
will surely succeed. - Texas paper.

"What remarkable night-gowms

day Night.
a patent medicine manufacturer died
in New York last week. Before he
died his friends asked him how he
would like to be buried. He had Just
strength left to say, ''Insert me top of
column next to reading matter fifty
two times electro by mail" and then
he closed his eyes and passed away to
that bourn where there are no omis-
sions or wrong insertions.
A very slight error of fact or practice
will sometimes result in a serious mis-
take. This was recently illustrated in
a school in Boston, where a pupil who
had been impressed with the force and
value of double letters, such rs "double
%" in "fool," "dOuble ~ in "heel,n etc.
was called upon to read that touching
poem eXhortatory to early rising, be
ginning:
Up, up, Lucy The sun Is in the sky"
Surprise, which soon gave way to hi
larity, was occasioncd when the pupil
read the line: ''Double up, Lucy ! the
sun is i'll the sky" thus giving it sig
niiicance by no means contemplated
by the poet.

In Moses Kings dictionary of Boston.
Rey. DIR. Ellis thus speaks of notable
feature of the city: Some among ms
have laid up Il grudge against the IA
theirs for allowing their cattle to be the
original layers-out of the streets. Yet
we should not he incOnsidcratc of the
fact that, though our thoroughfares are
crooked and narrow, probably through
our shortcuts, lanes and foot passages.
a larger proportion of our valuable land
surface is available for going from
place to place, especially for those to
the manner born, than in any other
old municipality in the country, espe-
cially the cities which are divided into
squares and blocls.s-with the stif1' uni
formity of checker-board. When
