Corn not Good for Horses.

Corn is the bane of the farm
horse. as it is also of the horse do
iry any other sort of work, not be-
cause of not being sufficiently nu-
tr:tious, but because it makes too
mnch fat and not enough muscle.
TIE horses muscle wears away by
wolk as metal wears away BY frlc-
tion. Fat wears away under eXer-
ci>s, but its disappearance in no.
wise lessons the power for either
draft or speed. On the other hand
well-ncurished and vigorously ex-
e!.ciSed muscles, without q deposit
of fit TO keep them company, are
much more efficient forany purpose
for which the horse is kept than
when there is load OF fat to be
carried. The trainer acts upon
tIi,, proposition and works the fat
eft. experience having shown that
the muscles, trained down by eNer-
else until fat accumulations are re-
moved, fattenlng foods being main
" abstained from, gives the best re-
suits in the caSesot Il speedy horse.
The same rule will hold good with
ih.. work horse, though modified by
tie degree in which the movements
of he latter are slower than those
of the former. II the farmer has
only corn for feed then he will be
wise if he makes sale of his corn,
CT the greater part of it, buying
oats instead.-Live Stock Journal.

HerOiSrl at Home.

How useless our lives seem to us
sometimes! How we long for an
opportunity do some great action.
We become tired of the routine Of
home life and imagine We would be
far happier in other scenes. We
think Of the good We might do if
eur lot had been cast in other
scenes. We forget that the world
heStows no such titles as noble as
father. mother, sister, or brother In
the sacred precincts Of home we
lave many chances ofheroism. The
,.aily acts of self denial for the good
of loved one, the gentle word Of
soothing for another's trouble, care
for the sick, may all seem as moth
ing; yet who can tell the good they
may accomplish? Our slightest word
may have an influence over an
ether for good or evil. We are
t;%ily sowing the seed which will
bring forth some sort of harvest.
Well will it I've for us if the harvest
will he one we will be proud to gar
Ter. II some one in that dear home
can look back iii after years and,
rs he tenderly utters ourname, say:
Her words and her example pre-
pared owe life of usefulness; to her
| owe my present happiness" We
may well say: Il have not lived in
vain."-National Presbyterian.

after its birth, but it was placed with
strangers, where it remained until 4
years of age. Then, in consequence
of unpleasant runors and inquiries,
the child was clandestinely taken
away from the people who had him
in charge, being enticed into a wagon
by promises of playthings, and taken
to another part of the county, where
ne was kept until he was Is years old.
Then he left the second place and went
to learn trade. In the meantime the
mother had married, went to the west
had other children and died without
knowing her first-born was alive. The
boy never saw his mother. and the
mother never saw her boy after the
first hours of birth. After the death
OF the mother, when the boy was 90
years of age, the grandfather searched
for and found the long-lost 5ov. toek
him home and told him his story. But
other members of the family made it
SO unpleasant that the youth was
compelled to leave a place where it
was so evident he was not wanted.
The grandfather said he could not
prevent this, but promised in the end
to right the wrong he could not help.
The boy went to a neighboring coun-
ty, married, settled down, and has
lived there ever since. A short time
ago the grandfather died, and, hear
ing of it, the young man returned on
Saturday last to look after his rights
and to see whether the promises made
him have been kept.

colonial policy, he said, would be
guided by two rules, namely. to es-
chew romantic enterprises, and to en-
force French rights wherever they
existed or wherever they were estab-
lished by treaty. He regretted that
the sovereign Of AMMAN had violated
his treaty. and recognized the suzer,
ainty of China, and that he had even
permitted the persecution of French
subjects; but this was state of affairs
that would soon be ended. No one
contemplated the conquest of Ton
quin, but 1t was necessary to pursue
an energetic policy. After the Easter
vacation, The Government would sub
nit defnite resolutions, which were
now IN preparation, these contemplate
ing the outlining Of q policy which
would consist in occupying certain
points in the country in order to show
that the French colonists meant to
remain, and to secure protection for
French citizens, as we'll as for foreign
