A Brave Heart Always Tender.

When Sir John Lawrence was Gov
ernor-General of India he was told one
day of little girl who had been taken
i'll, and was pining away with grief at
the loss of very curious pet. The pet
was tame ostrich, which the child had
raised from the egg, left by the ostrich
mother in the grass of the park at Bar
rackpore.
The little girls father was the keeper
of the park, and soon after her discov-
cry of the egg he died and his successor
was appointed.
Fearing that foxes or jackals would
eat her treasure, or that the cold dews
would destroy it, the little girl carried
the big egg to the bugalow, and buried
it safely in Idless box filled with dry
white sand. This she took pains to SCI
ont in the sun every day just where the
fiercest rays would pour omit. Atnighl
she coaxed a motherly hen, whose own
eggs she transferred elsewhere, to brood
over the box.
By-and-by, to the great fright of the
poor hen, giant chick broke the shell
and stepped into view. The hen rnfied
her feathers, spread herwings, and fed

Where the Bottom Dropped Out.

About four o'clock in the afternoon
of May % rumbling was heard in the
direction of Mr. James o. Farnell's
place on South Prong Greek. This
noise was found to proceed from the
big Red lime sink, near Mr.. Farnell' S
house. 1t continued for q time, when a
tremendous thud caused a perceptsble
tremor of the earth for some distance
around. 1t was found that the water
in the huge sink had dropped nearly a
hundred feet. Some idea can be formed
of the quantity of water in this sink
when it is stated that it occupied nearly
half an acre of ground and was filled
with water whose depth was supposed
to be unfathomable. The sink is a
complete circle in form, with perpen-
dicular walls. 1t has enjoyed an
undisturbed quietus from time inn
memorial until this sudden precipi-
tation. Many theories are advanced
as to the probable cause of the occur
renee, the most plausible one being that
an immense vacuum existed underneath
the sink, which was separated from the
water by thick, impervious substratum
of clay, and by some inexplicable cause
this substance gave way, and the water
disappeared through the orifice. About
half mile away a monstrous spring
bursts from steep hillside, and by some
subterraneous connection this huge res
ervoir of water was conveyed into the
channel of the spring. Great powders
were washed out and iramense sand
bars formed at the mouth of the spring.
South Prong Creek, into which the
spring empties, was greatly swollen by
the influx of water Hundreds have
visited the sink and all express wonder
at the unnatural phenomenon. Thai
immediate locality is dotted with, sinks
of greater or less dimensions, and it
would amply repay any lover of the
weird to visit it. Dootey fGa.) Vifsdi,

Something About TOads.

''Oh, papa, see what a great, urly
toad Do get stick and kin him Ge-
fore he gets away, said little Tommy
Gray, as he was walking in the garden
with his father.
why do you wish him kiIledsm ask
ed his father.
''Oh, because he is such an ugly thing,
and am afraid he will eat up every-
thing in the garden. You know we
killed several bugs and worms which
we found here last evening. | am sure
this toad is much worse than they. =
ave killed the bugs and worms be-
cause they were destroying our flowers
and vegetables. This poor toad mover
destroys plant of any kind about che
place. Besides, he is one of our best
friends. These insects that are dong
so mach harm in our garden are Just
what he uses for his food. l have no
doubt that he kills more of them every
day than we did last evening. If you
can find live bug, place it near him
and see what be will do
Tommy looked about, and soon found
three bugs, which he placed near the
toad, and then stood back short dis
lance to see the result. Soon the bugs
began to move away. The toad saw
them, and made quick forward motion
of his head. He darted out his tongue
and instantly drew them, one by one,
into his mouth. Tommy clapped his
hands with delight.
''How can such clunlsy-looking fell
low use his head and tongue so
nimbly?n said Tommy; and he ran off
to find more food for him.
The next evening Tommy went again
into the garden, and soon found the OBJ
ject of his search ready for his supper.
At first the toad was shy, but he soon
learned to sit still while Tommy placed
the food near him. Then he would dart
out bis tongue and eat the bugs while
Tommy was close by. Finding that the
boy did not hurt him, he soon lost all
fear and became a great pet Tommy
named him Humpy, and says he would
not have him killed now for anything.

Cure for Paving Horses.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes that paper that the habit
of paving can be overcome In most
cases by lifting the foot, and holding it
up for while every time tie animal be-
gins to paw. To give the horse the
first lesson, be says: "Put on an old
harness, buckles strap around each OF
the forward fetlocks, attach small
rope five or six feet long to each strap,
pass the ropes through rings or loops on
the top of the saddle, take the horse to
soft. smooth spot so that he viii not
be liable to get hurt, girt the saddle
tight so that it will not turn, take up
one forward foot and hold it up for
some ten or fifteen minutes by making
the rope fast at the ring on the saddle.
The object of this lesson is to teach the
horse that standing on threelegs is tire
some and disagreeable work; and also
to teach him that his foot is held by q
superior power, and that he can not put
it down without the consent of that
power For him to get these ideas he
needs to stand long enough to get very
tired of it, and needs to do his best TO
get his foot free before he can realize
that it is impossible for him to free it.
Having given this lesson, put the horse
in the place where he is in the habit OF
doing the most paving, and when he
lifts either foot up by pulling on the
rope attached to it, hold it fer .
short time only. The object of this
lesson is to teach the horse that 1t IS
when and only when he lifts his foot 70
paw that the control of it is taken from
him. When he learns this he viii prob
ably stop the practice, but for him to
get this idea the foot must be taken ana
held long enough for him to realize that
it is held every time he attempts to
paw. In this, as in all teaching and all
disciplinary work, the teacher and gov
ernor needs q good supply OF patience
and perseverance.

FARM AND PRESIDE.


The Charleston, Is. c. Ne,0s 10
gratilied to note steady increase in
the number of small farms in the South
ern States.
To keep colored clothing from dry
ing streaked, put handful Of salt to
each bucket of water, and those that
have red. blue, green, or any other
bright colors, put in vinegar in addition
to the salt This is particularly nice
for rag carpet, and then hang on the
line to drip.-Detrot Post.
AS far as possible keep vermin, es-
pecially rats, from the hogs. German
physicians, who have devoted a great
deal of time to the investigation, have
discovered that @ large percentage OF
rats are infested with trichine. It is
quite possible that swine have, in many
cases, received the parasites from this
source. -Net0 England Farmer.
A one-egg bread pudding is some
times greatly to be desired. Beat one
egg with one teaspoonful of flour, three
of brown sugar one pint of milk, q
little salt; place some very thin slices
of buttered bread in a pudding dish;
then pour the custard already made
over this, and bake for half an hour
Fruit may be added and spices to suit
the taste.-N Y. Post
To tell whether tin vessels are per-
fectly clean or not, slide the finger care
fully over them, and if they are the
least bit slippery you may be sure they
have not been properly washed. They
should be subjected to heat that will
cut the grease of of them, and nothing
but the hottest kind of water or steam
will do this. For cleaning dairy i'm
plements put no trust in patent COM
pounds; just see that the water used is
hot, and that it remains hot until the
last article is washed.-The Household.
1t is much easier to run a pound of

corral in the morning as if shot out OF

Texas sheep don't take enough out

disease that human flesh is heir to. but

disease that human flesh is heir to, but
their curative qualities have not been
largely tested, owing to the fact that
in large cities, where the greater part
of these waters are disposed of, facili-
ties are not wanting for the production
of all kinds of mineral waters. The
foreign waters are manufactured in
Chicago from dry salt, which is dis
solved in water and aerated. There
are several firms engaged in the manu-.
facture of salt which they claim dupli-
Gates the mineral quality of the foreign
water.
The trade in bottled goods probably
exceeds during the year that from all
other sources. A large firm on the
South Side distributes to dealers $4,000
bottles of soda per day, or 100000
during the year. The bottles each con-
tain one-half pint and retail to the
dealer for three cents each. This firm
employs one hundred and fifty men and
has thirty teams continually at work
transporting bottled waters. The bottles
are filled with the carbonized water,
favored according to the article de-
sired, under pressure of sixty-five
pounds to the square inch. The great
est item of loss to the bottling estab-
lishments lies in the breakage of bottles,
which, especially where patent cap is
use, is quite expensive.
The medical profession very general
ly shake their heads when interrogated
regarding the health qualities of aerated
beverages. Said DR.. Dexter yesterday:
''Aerated drinks are cooling, but so far
as curative results are concerned they
are utterly worthless. They are nos
trums which have been brought to pub
lie notice chiefly through sensational
to the Hot Springs, He is dosed with
medicine and required to battle in the
hot water of the springs every four
hours, and in short time he is well.
The same result would take place if he
remained at home and took the same
course of bathing in hot water, and the
same medicines. The mineral waters
are manufactured products, and it is
well known that the exact chemical
proportions of the various constituent
elements are never exactly repro.
dueed."
Notwithstanding the large amount Of
rubbish and garbage which annually
finds its way into the stomachs of the
good citizens of Chicago through the
medium of aerated waters, it is claimed
that there are some genuine mineral
waters, aid some soda, etc., that is
harmless so far as the presence CT poi
sonous ingredients is concerned. The
fact is generally conceded, however,
that these drinks are but little improve
ment over the old compound of oxyger
and hydrogen familiarly known as colo
water, except in its superior power OF
disarrangfhg the eternal economy

How Powder Men We're Fooled.

1t is well known among those who
have occasion to buy powder in large
quantities that tremendous rivalry ex-
lists between the agents of the Cali
fornia blasting powders represented
here. Each is in the estimation of its
special representative more effective
and cheaper than all the others, and
agents are only too anxious to demon
strate this fact by experiments when
there is sale in prospect. Some time
ago the military at Vancouver wanted
to build new road leading from the
garrison, and a survey showed that
fifty or sixty stumps would have to be
removed. So one of the officers came
over and mentioned to several powder
agents in a semi-confidential way that
the army would need some powder and
that the Quartermaster would not OBJ
ject to competitive tests. Six agents
then asked for the privilege of making
tests, and their request was granted.
On the day appointed 5000 pounds of
the best blasting powder came to Van
couver. charges were put in by expert
enced men engaged for that purpose by
the agents, and in two hours every one
OF the stumps was scientifically re-
moved. And the Government didn't
pay cent.-Porttard 0regonian.
