4 Mare is a Horse.

Turfmen will be interested in know
ing that the Supreme Court of Califor-
MIA has decided that mare" is a
"horse." The conclusion was reached
in this way: A certain man stole roam
mare and was arrested. In the trial the
prisoners attorney requested the court
to instruct the jury that verdict of not
guilty must be found because the ami
NAL stolen was mare not "horse,"
as the Indictment cited. The courts re-
fusal to give such instructions resulted
in an appeal to the highest judiciary of
the State, and that tribunal sustained the
ruling of the lower court on the ground
that the word "horse" was used in ge-
neric sense and was held to include all
animals of the horse species. Thequib-
BILE made by the defendants attorney
was, of course, a trivial one, butno more
ludicrous and senseless than those made
every day in courts nearer home.

How Rubber Balls are Made.

The rubber-balls used in games are
made in the following manner: The
sheets Of rubber are cut into strips of
double convex shape, or like the rind
OF an orange. The edges of the strips
are moistened with a liquid, made of
rubber and naphtha, by which they are
joined firmly together. This part of
the work is generally done by girls, who
soon become skilIful workers. When
the strips are joined, the ball is about
the shape of Brazil nut. Before the
last opening is closed, some carbonate
of ammonia is put inside. This causes
the rubber to expand and fill OFT the
ball mold. The molds are iron plates
of the required shape. The bali is
placed in its mold, and then, being heat
ed, is pressed round. Sometimes ex-
plosions occur in molding, for rubber
has considerable expansive force.

he Will be as apt to go wrong as right.
ALI uncertainty must therefore be avoid
ed, and the line marked out for him
must be clear to him, as to you also; he
must be held steadily in that until he
becomes established in it, when he will
not wish to depart from it. All must
be done with view, among other
things, to make it as pleasant for him
as possible, with the restraint always
applied when needed, and never Weld

as little ado as possible. He thus grad

If you keep other influences away from
him. Never over-exercise him. Do not
bother him with heavier loads than he
can draw, if you wish to keep him from
baking. IN all that you are to do, do
not lose sight of the important element
of doing it in gradual way IF it is
thought there is too much to be done.
let it be remembered that the horse is
valuable animal, and that the pains
taken with him increase this value by
making him so much the more service
sble, readily handled and always relia-
bic. Every true horseman will appre-
ciate this. If the colt fails to RESPOND
with sufficient alacrity-if, further. he
is stupid or awkward or of an indolent

Judge Miller's Narrow Escape.

"Not many people know that Judge
Miller, of the Supreme Bench, came
very near receiving the Republican
nomination for President in $780," said
a gentleman who was delegate to the
Chicago convention; "yet such is the
case. The Kentucky delegation was
pledged to vote for Grant first, last and
all the time, unless the name of enc
other man might be proposed, in which
event they would vote solidly for that
individual. Judge Miller was that man.
This fact was known among the Grant
leaders, and some of them were seri-
ously considering the expediency of
swinging the Grant column to him when
the break occurred. One more day of
balloting would have fixed the business,
and [ am not sure that one more hour
would not have done it. A combination
could have been formed very easily,
which would have resulted in Judge
Miller's nomination, and not much time
would have been required to have ar
ranged the terms. ".EIchange

The Scientific Apocalypse.

A Scotch clergyman, DR.. Waddell,
thinks he l'cs found out what is to be-
come of E..dan, the father of all evil.
The learnc divine reads the solution
OF the prof. m in that revelation of an
angel conf : down with a chain and a
key and bin ding the dragon and casting
him into the bottomless pit. The an
gel, he says, is electrical-science; the
chain is coil or telegraph wire, and
the key is the telegraph key. The an
gel of the dream has come down with
the coil and the key and is encircling
the world with chain lightning. The
preacher saith that in exactly the pro-
portion that electricity circles the
world evil will be defeated and the re-
generation of mankind will progress.
In this view telegraph-wire stretchers
and telegraph operators will supplant
preachers, and the electric light is a
beacon of paradise.-NeaU York Tri-

DArN;n2S Last Years

None of Darwin's works has excited
greater interest or more bitter contro-
yersy than that on man; and the cor
rection of the numerous reprints. and of
q final enlarged edition in 1874, was
found to lie so laborious task as to
convince him that any such extensive
literary works as those projected and
announced six years previously must be
finally abandoned. This, however, by
20 means implied cessation from work.
Observation and experiment were the
delight and relaxation of Darwin's life.
and he now continued and supplement-
ed those numerous researches on plants
we have already referred to. A new
edition of an earlier work on the Move
ments of Climbing Plants" appeared in
1875; thick volume on "Insectivorous
Plants" in the same year; "Cross and
Standardization" in 1876; the Forms
of Flowers" in 1877; the movements
OF Plants, y embodying much original re-
search, in 1880; and his remarkable lit
tie book on "Earth-worms" in 1881.
This last work is highly characteristic
of the author. In 1887 he had contrib
uted to the Geological Society short
paper on the formation of vegetable
mold by the agency of worms. For
more than forty years this subject of his
early studies was kept in view; expert
ments were made, In one case involving
the keeping field untouched for thir-
ty years,-and every opportunity was
taken of collecting facts and making
fresh observations, the final result being
to elevate one of the humblest and most
despised Of the animal creation to the
position of an important agent in the
preparation of the earth for the use of
the higher animals and of man.-Cen-

Training a Colt.

The most successful way Of training
an animal is to begin at birth. It is
then readily managed, as there is no &C
CURED habit to overcome. The import
ant point to be kept in view is to teach
him what you want him to know, and
only that. In order to do it successful
ly two things are necessary, kindness
and decision; these must never be lost
sight of. Let the colt know you mean
well In the start and all subsequent
handling. And in directing him give
him to understand that there is no other
way than yours, and he Will soon be
made to respond to the gentle yet firm
pressure. Let your society be among
his first impressions. Pass your hand
softly over him and pat him, but do not
tire him. Repeat your visits at first, at
short intervals. You will thus, in his
mind, be coupled with his mother, and
share her familiarity and also the sense
of protection. If you secure his at
tachment and reliance upon you, you
viii have laid the basis for all your
work. When leading the mother, put
a halter on the colt also, so as to get
him used to it and give him an idea of
restraint. Continue this in the stable.
In the use of the halter care must be
exercised so as to avoid rashness and
undue severity. But also maintain your
firmness with him, never yield in what
you undertake, being sure you under
take what is necessary, and what has
previously been determined upon. But
have confidence; he is young, and you
never can handle him so readily as now,
when he is the feeblest and has not
learned differently. He will soon
yield to your way, the only way he
will know, and all the more when he
knows it will do him no harm. The
last is important. If harm is to come
to him, let it not come from you
Make him familiar with noises and
starting approaches, first OF a mild
character, gradually increasing till the
most stirring ado fails to move him.
This will prevent his shying. Handle
his feet and familiarize yourself with
every part of them. Put things on his
back, light at first; follow with a bag,
and at last, when old enough, with
yourself.
Whatever is done, never lie to the
colt-never contradict Yourself: he will

Man Belongs to the Soil.

Separated from the soil, man never
yet has succeeded in thriving. At best,
without it he is a potted plant, and
some of the pots are miserably small.
l have visited many factories in New
England, and find that wherever the
operatives have reasonable chance at
the soil, where every family can have
good-slzed garden, with access to pas
ture for COW, the people are healthy,
.contented and saving. Wherever this
is the case, the factory population is
able to live without actual starvation or
extreme restitution in the event of the
mills being closed for even very long
period. Whenever they are separated
from the soil, as in some of our large
cities, there is squalor, decentralization
and despair.-Janles Parton.
