A Loaesor e Horse.

A Leominister farmer recently broke
his horse Of "bllky" freak in very
quiet, and, as he claims, not a cruel
manner. His horse is in excellent flesh,
and shows no sign of neglect on the part
of his master. lie drove him. attached
to road wagon, to the wood lot for a
small load of wood. The animal would
not pull pound He did not beat him
with club, but tied him to tree and
t'let him stand" He went to the lot at
sunset and asked him to draw but he
would not straighten a tug. 81 made up
my mind" said the farmer, "when that
horse went to the barn he should take
that load of wood The night was not
cold. I went to the barn, got blankets
and covered the horse warm, and he
stood still till mo ming. Then he refused
to draw. At noon / went down, and he
was probably hungry and lonesome. He
drew that load of wood the first time /
asked him. returned and got another
load before fed him. | then rewarded
him with good dinner, which he eagerly
deyoured. | have drawn several loads
since. Once he refused to draw, but as
sooa as he saw me start for the house he
started after me with the load A horse
becomes lonesome and discontented when
eft alone, as much as person, and /
claim this method if rightly used, is far
less cruel and is better for beth horse
and man than to beat the animal with
q club. ."-Fitchburg Sentinel.

Why apprentices are Scarce.

A contemporary writer says it is prin-
cipally because. OF the eonceit of weak
and foolish parents, who could not think
of allowing their boys to soil their hands
with manual labor, or tarnish their pedi
gree by associating with common work
men. Many and many a young man
have ] known whoss aptitudes called to
him with all the imperious demands Of
instinct to learn trade, but he was pre-
vented from doing so by his parents,
who preferred to see him filing the
more important and dignifed position of
clerk, often working fifteen hours day
for $I5 per month, and sometimes yield
ing to the small temptation to leave un-
paid his tailor's and washerwoman's bills
Or il he escapes the clerkship, he was
almost sure be found among the luckless
ninety and nine professional men who
stand off and eye with green envy the one
in the round hundred who has made a
success. 1t is not lack of attention to
the new workman that is lowering the
standard in mechanical trades, but the
folly Of parents in closing the doors of
the trades in the faces of their sons, and
in the absence of good material we get
bad. Ii is very often the case that We
get hold Of boy who has but few or no
qualifications, natural or acquired, for
trade, but he can probably make more
money at that than at common labor, and
as we can get no better, we have to do
the best we can. There is no doubt but
but we are getting poorer subjects every
year for apprentices for this very reason
But We can reach point 50 lew that it
Is impossible to go any lower, and be-
leve we about reached that point in some
lines Of business. Some parents, and
boys toe, are at last getting their eyes
open. They are learning that they can
not plant dudes and raise men. Many
bubbles have been prieked, and much
gliding has worn through. Labor il be-
coming more dignifed, because more
than ever before It IS welded TO thought.
The manual training schools which are
springing up In nearly al Of our large
cities are giving instruction to many
boys whose parents, perhaps. wenld not
at the start consent to them entering the
shops. These schools are doing good
work ID teaching the principlesof trades
IN fostering genuine lore for mechan-
les and ID pointing ont the way To the
special field where the young man can
labor with the assurance Of receiving
his highest reward With such bright
ening prospects as the work of the
manual training school warrants, Ne spe
no reason for fearing that The race of
good workmen u any trade will soon
die out. On the contrary, ne believe We
Will see mechanics increasing ii nu1n-
bsEs and skill from rear b year.

The Vatican.


A writer in one of our contemporaries
concludes that this word is often used by
MANY who do not understand its import,
and lie proceeds to explain. The term re
fers to a collection of buildings on one
of the seven hills of Rome, which covers
q space of 200 feet in length and 1000
feet in breadth. 1t is built on the spot
once occupied by the garden Of the cruel
Nero. It owes its origin to the Bishop
OF Rome, who, in the early part of the
sixth century erected a humble residence
on its site. About the year 1160 Pope
Eueenius rebuilt it on magnificent scale.
Innocent H.. q few years afterward
gave It up as a lodging to Peter H., King

Tar Methodist Episcopal Church has a
centennial Of Some Importance to contem-
plate OF to celebrate this year. On Sep
tember 2, It will be one hundred years
since John Wesley and other ministers
.c0nsecrated Thomas Coke, bishop Of North
America, the largest diocese ever presided
over by one bishop. Then there were
1900 Mefhodists ii the country; now
there are several millions, and the Church
has the largest property valuation Of any

Since Bishop Uokess day, Methodiam has
resolved itself into manifold sects, and

Caase Of the Red Twilight.

The conclusion reached by Joseph
Wharton, of Philadelphia, from expert.
ments made with dust found in the snow
fall of January, 20, last, that the bril-
liant twilights of the past winter were
caused by volcanic particles in the air,
finds corroboration in the experience of
the ship Ridgway, which arrived at this
port last week. Mr.. Wharton has secured
fIom the ship specimens Of pumice
which covered the sea on that portion Of
her voyage when about 500 hundred
miles from the island of Krakatoa, the
scene of the JaYan volcanic conYulsion.
He finds this pumice to be substantially
identical in its composition and structu-
raj arrangement with the strange dust
fonnd IN the snow.
