Choosing a Horse,

The Turf, Field, and Farm, a most
reliable authority on the subject, says
that "in buying horse, first look at
his head and eyes for signs of in
telligence, temper, courage, and
honesty. Unless a horse has brains
you cannot teach him TO do anything
well. If bad qualities predominant
in a horse. education only serves to
enlarge and intensity them. The head
is the indicao or of disposition. A
square muzzle, with large nostrils,
evidences an ample breathing appara-
tus and long power. Next, We see
that he is well under the jowl, with
jawbones broad and wide apart under
the throttle. Breadth and fulness
between the ears and eyes are always
desirable. The eyes should be full and
hazel in color, ears small and thin and
thrown well forward. The horse that
turns his ears back every now and
then is not to be etrusted. He is either
a bitter or kicker and is sure to be
vicious in other respects, and, being
naturally vicious, can never be trained
to do anything well, so horse with
a rounding nose, tapering forehead
and a broad full faop haloNy tho eUeC
is always treacherous and not TO be
depended on. Avoid the long-legged,
stilted animal-always choosing one
with short, straight back and rump,
withers high and shoulders sloping.

Tarring a Rat.

Rats are wonderfully clean animals,
and they dislike tar more, perhaps,
than anything else. for if it once gets
on their jackets, they find it most diff
cult to remove it. Now, l had heard
it mentioned that pouring tar down at
the entrance of their holes was good
remedy, also placing broken pieces of
glass by their holes was another
remedy. But these remedies are not
effective. The rats may leave their
old holes and make fresh ones in other
parts of the house; they don't, how
ever, leave the premises for good. ]

ment-one | had not heard of before.
One evening l set large wire-cage

seductive piece of strongly smelling
cheese. and next morning found, to
my satisfaction, that l had succeeded
in trapping very large rat, one of the
largest l had ever seen, which, after ]
had besmeared MIN with tar, / let loose
into his favorite run. The next night
tried again, and succeeded in trap
ping another equally big fellow, and
served him in the same manner. ]

silent indications of the misfortune
which had SO suddenly befallen them
or that they frightened their brethren

place and fed. The experiment was
eminently successful. From that day

glanced In. many with a self-satisfed
gaze, because of their good looks,
jaunty clothes or fine physigues, while
others seemed to wear a contemptu-

themselves; but not single woman,

When to Pick Fruit.

Housewives, as well as growers and
market-men, often complain that fruits
do not keep in good condition, and
various causes are assigned for this
One Of the most prevalent and the
least understood is that of showers of
rain just before picking. The amount
of increase in bulk, size and weight
that rain imparts to fruit is not fully
ascertaineG; yet it is a well-known
fact that in boiling maple sap to make
sugar, one hundred and twenty gallons
of sap after wet fall and winter Will
produce no more sugar than one hun
dred gallons after a dry season.
in strawberry culture, berries Of
great size can be produced by irriga-
tion though the increase is but dropsi-
cal. Recent experiments have shown
that strawberries picked after heavy
rain shrink ten per cent
Grapes, also, lose in bulk and weight
under similar circumstances. A
bushel of grapes weighs about forty
pounds when picked and packed after
a rain, decreasing afterwards from
two to four pounds to the bushel.
These facts tend TO show that at
least ten per cent, both in bulk and
weight, may be impaired to fruits by
showers or rains, and will readily ac-
count for berry-baskets not being full
after having been packed a day or
more
Much of i'll success in the preserving
and keeping of fruits may also be
ascribed to this cause.
To have fruits, which are said to be
"only condensed sunshine" IN per-
fection and best condition for long
keeping, they should be picked in clear
weather, after the dew is off, and
before the heat of the day, and then
stored in a cool, dry place where a
current of air passes over them. -

Naming n Lake.

Years ago, it was discovered that a
certain lake which had long been con-
sidered the head of the Mississippi, had
no claim to that honor. The explorers
found a new and smaller lake from
which the great river took its rise. A
discussion arose as to what name would
be appropriate for it. The story is
that it was decided in this way:
Lets make new name by coming
word" said an old voyager. Some
of you larned ones tell me what is the
Latin for true"
"Veritas," answered "a scholar.
"Well, now, what is Latin for
head?"
"Caput."
Now write the two words together
by syllables.
The scholar wrote on a strip Of
birch-bark, "veritas caput."
"Read it."
The FIVE syllables were read.
Now drop the first and last sylla-
bles and you'll have a good name for
t,is lake" And "Itasca" it was.

A XOman's Threat.

A very handsome senorita went to
one of the best photographers in Nal
rid lately to have her picture taken.
When the posture was all settled, and
the cloth was about to be drawn, the
artist threw last glance at his sub
ject, and to his CONSERVATION found
that she was holding a pistol to her
head.
"What are you doing?" he cried.
"You will not shoot yourself: it would
ruin my business; besides it w0nld be
wicked to mar so lovely Il face as yours,

SuDlit Rooms,
provided

No article Of furniture should be put
in room that will not stand sunlight
for every room in dwelling should
have the windows so arranged that
sometime during the day flood of
sunlight will force itself into the apart
ment. The Importance of admitting
the light freely to all parts of our
dwelling cannot be too highly estimat-
ed. Indeed, perfect health is nearly as
dependent on pure sunlight as it is on
pure air. Sunlight should never be
uncomfortable to the eyes, and walks
should be in bright sunlight, SO that
the eyes are protected by veil or para
sol when inconveniently intense. A
sun-bath is of more Importance in pre-
serving healthful condition of the
body than is generally understood. 1t
costs nothing, and that is misfortune,
for people are deluded with the idea
that those things can only be good and
useful which cost money. But remem-
Der that pure water, fresh air and sun
Lit homes, kept free from dampness,
will secure you from many heavy bills
of the doctors, and give you health and
vigor, which no money could procure.
1t is an established fact that people
who live much in the sun are usually
stronger and more healthy than those
whose occupations deprive them Of
sunlight. And certainly there is moth
ing strange in the result, since the
same law applies with equal force to
nearly every animate thing in nature.
1t is quite easy TO arrange an isolated
dwelling 80 that every room in it may
be flooded with sunlight some time in
the day. and it is possible that many
town houses could be so built as to ad-
nit more light than they now receive.
