Retween Nav and Grass.

No season OF the year is more trying to
sheep and cattle than that which occurs
after the snow leaves the surface of tile
ground in the spring, and before the
grass makes any considerable growth.
Animals that have been confined in the
stable and yard and fed on dry food are
impatient to get into the pastures and
enjoy a taste If green grass. There is
enough of it to tempt but not to satisfy
the appetite. They will wade through
mud and water to get the little there is,
and will often expose themselves TO
rain for hours sooner than come under
cover and eat dry hay and straw. Not
unfrequently animals lose in weight and
tall of in condition during the month of
April. Especially his case with females
that are heavy with young. 1t may be.
well to allow sheep and cattle to 60 into
pastures where the turf is tolerably firm
before there is much grass to eat, bit
those that are in an onfeebled condition
should not be exposed to rain or allowed
to sleep on the damp ground. Roots
are we'll relished at this season of the
year, and with a supply of turnips the
. flock master will find little difficulty in
keeping his sheep in good condition.
The diet of hay and straw should be
varied by oil meal and grain, and every
attention paid to the wants OF the AMI
mails. Mony animals suffer more from
dampness during the spring than they
do from cold during the winter. They
should be kept under cover during
storms, and be allowed not only dry
but clean place to lie down.-Chicago

Animal Intelligellce

The author, George ] Romano, LII D.,
has prepared work under this title
which has been admitted to the lnterna-
tional Scientific Series. A single para
graph is here cited ON the emotion phase
of life in the horse;
Another curious emotional feature in
the horse is Liability Of all tho other mem
tai faculties in the animal to become
abandoned to that of terror For think
/ am right in saying that the horse is the
only animal which, under the influence
OF fear, loses the possession Of every
other sense in one mad and mastering
desire TO run. With its entire mental
life thus overwhelmed Ivy the Hood of
single emotion, the horse, not only loses
as other animals lose, the presence of
mind, or a due balance among the dis
tinctively intellectual faculties, bnt even
the avenues OF special sense become
stopped. so that the wholly demented
animal may run headlong. and atterrific

known a hare come to grief in q some
what similar fashion when hotly pur-
sued by dog; this, however,
was clearly owing TO the hare looking
behind instead OF before, in a manner
not, under the circumstances unwise;
but as I have said, there is no animal
except the horse whose whole psychol-
ogy is thus liable to be completely dom
mated by single emotion. As for its
other emotions, the horse is certainly
an affeetionate animal, pleased at being
petted, Jealous of companions receiving
favor. greatly enjoying play with others
ofits kind, and also the sport of the
hunting field. / myself had horse

Knew How to rake a Joke.

1t rarely pays to get mad at prae-
teal joke. TO beable to take such things
coolly .is fine advantage, for it allows
ones wits to work and perhaps turn the
tables on the iokers. 1t is said that DR..
Nathan Smith, the once famed professor
of surgery in Dartmouth and Yale, "did
more than any other man ever did to
extend medical and surgical kno Wedge
in the Northern states" owed his start
in life to his cool tact in making the best
of the situation when he was the victim
of a "put-up job"
It was in Cornish, N. Ii that Nathan
Smith first "hung out his shingle."
While the negly-fiedged doctor was pa
tiently waiting for business, u company
of young men concluded to have little
fun at his expense Their plan of pro-
cedure was suggested by the sight of q
goose with broken leg. Taking the
tayern-keeper into their confidence,
they caught the limping bird, and as
soon as all arrangements were complete,
q messenger was despatched in haste to
tell DIR. Smith that patient who had un-
fortunately broken his leg desired
his services at the tavern immed-
lately.
Tie doctor was promptly ON hand
with the necessary apparatus. As he
drew near the house, and saw the prep-
aration for his reception, his quick mind
began to suspect a trick; but he pro-
eeeded without hesitation to the door,
where, amid the il-concealed ti.tering
of the crowd, lie met the inn-keeper,
who informed him where the patient
was.
Preceded by thine host" and fol-
lowed BY the crowd, all ready to burst
with delight aft the anticipated surprise
and chagrin of the doctor, he entered
the house where, sure enough, lay the
poor goose, extended in all honor upon
bed.
The doctor, without the least hesita-
ton or show of surprise, advanced to
the bed, and having. with scrupulous
care examined the broken limb, pre-
pared his splints, reduced the fracture,
and bound it up in the most scientific
manner. He then, with extreme CRAWL
ty, directed the tavern-keeper to pay
strict attention to the patient, on no ac-
count to suffer him to be moved from the
bed for ut least week, bul TO feed him
plentifaily with Indian meal and water.
There WIS not much laughter
when the doctor went away,
though thus Ear al had gone well enough;
but the next day the joke really became
quite serious, when good, round bill
for professional services came to the
landlord, which he found himself Obliged
10 pay.
The affair soon got abroad, and the
shrewd and level headed Young doctor
suddenly found himself famous. Peo-
pie said, There's man who knows bow
TO take care of himself, "-the highest
kind of reputation in Yankee commu-
nifty and one sure to bring money.
Everybody respected him, and the
foundation of a lucrative practice was
laid for the physician.

A chapter on House Cleaning.

Much as house cleaning is dreaded, it
is positive relief to have it come and
then have it over. Dast has aecumula-

the air las daily made its deposits on
walls and paint, the carpets struggle IN
vain to give mp their stores to the broom
and send ont clouds Of dust that only set
tie back into them again. The very
house clamors to be turned down and
inside out, that it may permit the free
access of whatever broom and buster
and serubbing- brush and soap and water.
Time is very important cement in
house cleaning. 1t is folly to work
