Laughter az a Medicine:

A short time since two individuals
were lying in one room very sick, one
with brain fever and the other with an ag-
gregated case of the mumps. They were
SO low that watchers were needed every
night, and it was thought doubtful il
the one sick Of fever could recover. A
gentleman was engaged to watch over
night, his duty being to wake the nurse
whenever it became necessary Co admin
lister medicine. LIN the course of the
night both watcher andnurse fell asleep.
The man with the mumps lay Watching
the clock, and saw that it was time to
give the fever patient his potion. He
was unable to speak aloud or to move
any portion Of his body except his arms
but selling a pillow, he managed to
strike the watcher in the face with it.
Thus suddenly awakened, the watcher
sprang from his seat. falling to the
floor and awakened both the nurse
and the fever patient. The incident
struck the sick men as very ludicrous,
and they laughed heartily att for some
fifteen or twenty minutes. When the
doctor came in the morning he found
his patients vastly improved; said he
never knew SO sudden q turn the bet
ter. and now beth are up and we'll. Who

Going Abroad.

The annual social outflow toward Eu-
rope has already commenced, hut prob
ably won't reach full Roadway for
another month. The steamship agents
report nearly all berths engaged up to
the end of June. MI. Vanderbilt is
preparing for his regular trip. This
may be why he has lately been getting
some Wall street things off his hands.
A trip to England and back does him
more good, he says, than anything else.
He enjoys it almost as much as driving
q pair of fast trotters, and it braces him
up wonderfully. Many of his Fifth
avenue neighbors are also getting
ready for sea, but most of them will
stay away longer than he intends to.
Their programme is to take the whole
summer instead of q few weeks. 1t
won't cost any more to 'do" Europe,
from London to Rome--or not much
anyway-than to pass the season
in proper style at New York,
Long Branch or Saratoga, and the
tone of the thing, is, of course immeas-
ureably greater. The only objection to
the trip is that some common people
may be in the same ship, down in that
horrid place they call the steerage, don't
you know. There may be q good many
such the coming summer. as Storage
rates are now very low, the war between
the companies having brought them
down to SIS. A pressing need Of the
time is a steamship line that doesn't
carry any common ~people-none but
the highest of the heightened. If this
is not provided it may soon be necessary
for parties of tourists from Fifth avenue
to hire whole ships for themselves. The
tendency of the money-snobs to get
away from the common people increases
every year, and something will certain
ly have to be done to enable them to
keep far away from them, every
where at sea as well as on land. Just
imagine a millionaire living in the same
house, or boarding in the same hotel
with a laborer, yet millionaire and la
borer now cross the Atlantic in the same
ship. - b.

The Art of Riaine.

From the New York Mail and EXPRESS.
A few evenings ago q reporter was
passing by a well known riding acade-
my, when he was arrested by the sound
of music coming from within the en-
closure. Entering he saw a large com
pany Of ladies and gentlemen riding
through the figure of a quadrille to the
music Of a string band. The sight was
novel and very striking, and while he
fingered he engaged in conversation
with the manager.
THE ring is occupied very nearly ev-
cry night by private classes such as you
now see," said he. ".They are former
pupils Of the academy. They grow
tired of the opera, theater, dinners,
ETC., but their equestr1anism is never
neglected"
What style d. how many styles OF
riding prevail here"
s"The style we like best is the park.
though of course many desire to acquire
the English cross country style. Ike
park is the easiest and prettiest for
smooth roads. With the park seat, the
horseman rides with q long stirrssp and
from the ball Of the foot. The eros
country seat, on the other hand. makes
the rider send the foot home in the stir
rup, which must therefore be q short
stirrup. He throws the legs forward
and the body backward. 1t is much
effected by the more competent horse
men. Fancy riding is also greatly in
dulged in. Leaping and jumping have
come into favor too, and / think we
shall soon have as many artists in the
saddle in this country as in England"
DO ladies learn to ride more easily
than gentlemen"
They learn more readily and become
more proficient. This is in consequence,
/ think, of the sixe-saddle used. A
lady has q firm hold of her saddle not
only with her leg, but she has the pom,
mels for her hands if necessary. A
gentleman has not. 1t is quite anus
ing sometimes to watch q beginner turn
out his toes. drop his bride and try to
hang OF with his heels. If you want to
prove that man is the most awkward
and %ungraceful of all animals, put him
on q moderately fiery horse"
lis it not very difficult to teach q per.
son to rider"
lne art OF riding must be acquired.
The seat and style are all that have to
be taught. We have English, French
and German teachers. The novice is
first given a quiet horse to ride. As he
learns to sit on his animal the degree OIL
the temper OF the animal is increased
until he finds himself astride o regular
tearer. OF course the rider gets many
q fall, and oftentimes he is thrown, but
the fall is as nothing. You see the tar
is soft, and he is up and at it again al.
most before he is down"

| dipped in hot water and quickly wrung

pain in toothache or neuralgia will gen
eraly afford prompt relief. This treat
I ment in collie works almost like magic.
I have seen cases that have resisted 9th
er treatment for hours yield to this in
ten minutes. There is nothing that will
SO promptly cut short a congestion OF
the lungs, sore throat, rheumatism, as
hot water when applied promptly and
thoroughly.
Pieces Of cotton batting dipped in hot
water, and kept applied to old sores or
new, cuts, bruises or sprains is the
treatment 10Y generally adopted in hos
pitfalls. I have seen a sprained ankle
cured in an hour by showering it with
hot water, poured from a height of three
feet.
Sun Baths.-Mrs. E. r. A. writes:
ITO J. w. B., who writes about sun
baths, I would say that I am a chronic
invalid suffering from nervous depres-
| sion, and find that sun baths, in con-
n%ection with lying on the ground, are
! a very great relief. Last year | did not
, know for months what it was to be
sleepy, and at a suggestion from a friend,
l began lying on the ground in the sun,
when not too hot, or in the shade when
it was, and after got owe my nervous
ness from seeing bug, worms and ants
crawling around, [ began to feel sleepy
and quiet, and often slept two hours at
IL time. told my physician about it,
and how that o warm glow would go
over my body clear to the toes, and l
would Don be asleep. He replied,
Your nerves were at rest, and it
was the best thing you could do"
I took a few yards of carpeting, doub-
led it, put a pillow on it, and with a
sun bonnet on my head I laid down and
covered up with a comfort, and was
soon at peace with all the world. This
is the best remedy extant for insomnia,
and / would recommends to all suffer-
ers from that disease. A thorough
warming up in the sun is excellent for
rheumatic or paralytic people. Cats
and dogs, pigs and chickens, as they
bask in the sun, are wiser than man
kind, who carefully keep the curtains
down and blinds closed 80 that the rays
of the sun are completely shut out"

Persistence of the Beaver.

The qu~iclness with which q colony dis
owe a wholesale attempt against
their peace is astonishing; yet if their
numbers are undisturbed, or dimin-
ished but gradually, even the presence
of civilization will not drive them from
their haunts. To-day beaver are re-
turning to streams in Michigan long
ago abandoned by their race, simply
because they find themselves unmolest-
ed, The demand for beaver peltry haing
slight, and the prices paid out of all
proportion to the labor entailed in.
trapping. It has been said that, if a
dam or house be once injured by the
hand Of man, the colony at once disap-
pears. But that this is fallacious is
proved by the following: Twenty-Five
miles from Marquette, Michigan, on the
Carp River, a beaver colony began
the erection Of q new dam.
Though the embankment of a
railway ran nearly parallel with the
stream, and trains passed backward
and forward daily, they seemed in no
way disturbed, and worked steadily on
until the water had risen a foot or more.
The track master, observed that this
endangered the line-for the enbank-
ment had been utilized as a wing of the
dam-ordered the water drawn off.
But the following day the beavers had
repaired the damage done them, and
the water was at its former height.
Again and again and again was the dam
cut through, and as often would it be
repaired. All in all, it was cut and re-
paired some fifteen or twenty times ere
the beavers We're sufficiently discour-
aged to abandon their attempts.-From
"The Beaver and his Works." by DIR.

son che flies are destroyed previous to
that. or the cattle are not exposed to
them, of cource there will be no grubs.
Generally the grubs escape from the
skin of the cattle in June, and fall to
the ground, into which they enter to un-
dergotheir proper changes. There may
be several reasons why the grubs might
be destroyed while on the. ground.
Skunks, crows. mice, and other animals
feed upon these insects, and could easily
pick them up. Orif the pasture should
be plowed, the grubs would be turned
under too deeply to get out again and
would perish. There must be some
special and accidental reason why the
cattle are free from them this spring.
Other farmers find an unusually large
quantity of them and are complaining of
their excessive number. They do no
permanent injury anyhow, and no pres
emit injury except to worry the animals
Q little.

Support for Beans And Peas.

I hay e for several years successfully
raised polebeans without poles by set
ting out two strong posts say twenty
feet apart and eight feet high. Fasten
strong wire ora long light pole between
the two at the top, also three inches
from the bottom. Then pass fine cord
between the two, about three inches
apart. They have to be watched for q
few days when they begin to run to see
that the wind does not blow the vines
away from the strings, thenthey are all
right. Often one post will answer,
using a tree, grapevine t%rellis, or cor
ner of an outbuilding for other end.
Peas can be grown in the same way,
with No. IS wire; posts from two to
three feet high; can be forty feet apart
with n support in the middle.-E. r.
s., Denmark, Iowa. Barbed wires
would be a good substitute; the vines
could cling to them, and if the wire is
made fast on posts made firm in the
ground they would last for years. To
illustrate: Put in posts twelveor fifteen
feet high and make fast the wire as on a
clothes line, and draw the wire rs far as
possible without stacking. Then put
in another post and so on as far as it is
to extend. Before the ground has been
prepared cut short pieces of wire to
reach perpendicularly from top to bot
tom, shove it in the ground, press a
couple of stones each side of the wire,
tie it to the top wire, and then it is
complete for the beans to grow on. If
the main line gets too slack it should
be braced. In the fall the perpendicular
pieces may be removed from the main
wire and laid away till spring. They
will last for years after poles would
have decayed and will give longer life
for valuable trees.-John Hug.
