What Might Have Been.

Judge McCandless, who died in 1885,
at his pleasant home near Pittsburg,
Pa, upwards of seventy.two years of
age, was prominent democratic pol
itician in the Keystone State, and one
of James Buchanan's fright bowers"
In 1852 he went to the National Dem
ocratic Convention as delegate, and
a committee representing a large ma.
jority of the delegates rendered him
the nomination. This, it was evident,
was equivalent to an election as Pres
ident of the United States. But Judge
McCandless promptly declined, saying
that he had been elected to vote for
the nomination of Mr.. Buchanan, and
that he could not consent to the use of
his own name. Franklin Pierce was
nominated and elected and when in
1859 Buchanan succeeded him, he ap
pointed Judge Neon LESS to he Judge
OF the United States District Court for
the Western District of Pennsylvania.
Garfield went to the Chicago Con
vention to nominate John Sherm NJ
but consented to become candidate.
Had he followed the example of Judge
McCandless he would probably have
been alive today, United States
senator from Ohio. -MUor Poore's He

greatly exceeded this figure, reaching in
that year rs, 900, 600, 900 feet A rather
alarming fact is incidentally stated in
the report, namely, that the forests are
disappearing at the rate of $4,000, 900
acres each year; and we can hardly ven.

forts Of the various forestry associations

Hints About Horses.

The following suggestions as to
driving and care are credited to an
exchange by The Greeley Tribune;
Bad driving will often fatally injure
horse in few miles; while skillful
driving would make the Journey in
less time and leave the horse as fresh
Is when he started. Drive slow when
The animal is full of food and water;
out after the muscles are limbered and
he system emptied, increase the speed.
Tlen check up and let the horse cool
off before stopping, and there will he
ass danger Of taking cold and of stiff
muscles, and less necessity for rubbing
lown. Drive slow up hill and down;
and make good time on level ground
and on moderate dcscents. Never
keep the same gait and speed for a
long time; for change Of gait is
equivalent to rest.
"Ncvcr ride horse without first
making his acquaintance and securing
his good will Go to his head, speak
kindly, pat him, look in his eyes.
Whether You are friend or foe, he will
Judge by YOUR voice, your eye and
yout breath. Horses Judge man as
quickly rs man does horse. Feed
and water aDundantly at night after
work and the animal has had time to
rest and cool off. Feed moderately
in the morning or before work. Par
thains and Arabs prepare their horses
for hard drives by fasting rather than
feasting. More horses are injured by
hard driving on full stomach than
by any other process. Never let
horse eat or drink much when he is
hot from work. Study your horse,
treat him according to his nature,
make him your friend, and he will do
better and safer service.

Flowers in Japan.


In the houses wherein reside one or
more daughters of a manageable age
an empty flower pot of an ornamental
character is encircled by ring and
suspended from the window or veran-
da by three light chains. Now the
Juliets of Japan are, of course, attrac-
tive, and their Romeos az anxious as
those of other lands. But instead of
serenades by moonlight and other del
icate ways of making an impression, it
is etiquette for the Japanese lover to
approach the dwelling of his lady
bearing some choice plant in his hand,
which he proceeds to plant in the
empty vace. This takes place at a
time when he is fully assured that
both mother and daughter are at
home, and ! need scarcely say that
neither of them is at all conscious that
the young man is taking such liberty
with the flower pot outside their win
dow. 1t is believed that young
lover so engaged has never been seen
by his lady or her mamma in this act
of sacrilege any rate, my friend
tells me that during his long residence
in Japan he never heard Of any one
being detected in the act or interfered
with in any way. The fact is, this act
of placing pretty plant into the
empty flower pot is equivalent to
proposal to the young lady who dwells

In discussing the comparative ex-
tellencc of the different breeds of fowls
correspondent of the livestock
Journal writes: OF all table fowls the
well-brcd Dorking still stands pre-
eminent. The reasons for this are:
First, it is large-sized bird, and its
neat is tender, savory and juicy; at
the same time sufficiently firm in
texture. Second, the breast is very
broad, deep, and projecting. This is
the most valuable part Of the fowl,
and in the Dorking enables one to
cut extra wide slices from it. The
shoulders also are quite full which
is another good point in its favor.
Third, the body is long parallelogram,
thus making it in comparison to other
fowls like that of the shorthorn to
cattle. The Houdan is the nearest
approach to the Dorking Of all other
breeds, both in size, good shape and
qualities of meat. As it carries a fifth
toe and topknot, it is generally
thought to be cross of the Dorking
on the Poland yet l have seen it
stated in French publication that
they have been known in France for
upward of 300 years. The game fowl
is first quality, but its meat is of differ
ant flavor from the top above, resem-
bling that of the pheasant, and for this
reason many prefer it. The size varies
from large medium to small, and it
loes not carry so much meat on the
breast in proportion to its size as the
Dorking and IIoulan. This is deep,
but more rounding and less project
ing Some other breeds of fowls are
we'll shaped and moderately full in the
breast. Among these, | have found
the Dominique superior. Most of the
Eastern fowls are deficient in a good
breast, save the Langshan, which is
said to be pretty fair in this point.
The others, except the Brahma row
and then, run too much to rulnp, where
they are extra large AS the meat
here is not equal to that on the breast,
and is rather coarse, they do not excel
as table fowls. But the chickens grow
large rapidly and as people generally
are not particular as to the quality of
poultry, they sell well and are popu-
lar with the public, their extra size
being their chief merit.

What One Woman Did.

Some years ago in foreign city,
horses were continually slipping on
the smooth and icy pavement of a
steep hill, up which loaded wagons
and cats were constantly moving.
Yet no one seemed to think Of any
Letter remedy than to beat AMI curse
the poor animals who tuggcd and
pulled md slipped on the hard stones.
No one thought of better way. OK
eept poor old woman. who lived at
the foot of the hill 1t hurt her so to
see the poor horses slip and fall on the
slippery pavement, that every morn
ing, old and feeble as she was, with
trembling steps she climbed the hill
and emptied her ash-pan and such
ashes as she could collect from her
neighbors, on the smoothest spot.
At first the teamsters paid her very
iittle attention, but after a little they
began to look for her, to appreciate
her kindness, and to be ashamed of
their own cruelty, and to listen to her
requests that they would he more gen.
tie to their beasts.
The town officials heard of the cd
iady's work and they were ashamed
too, and set to work levelling the hill
and re-opening the pavement. Prom
inent men came to know what the old
woman had done, and it suggested to
them an organization for doing such
work as the old lady had inaugurated.
All this made the teamsters so CRATE
full, that they went among their en-
ployers and others with subscription
paper and raised a fund that brought
the old lady an annuity for life. So
one poor old woman and her ash-pan
not only kept the poor overloaded
horses from falling and stopped the
blows and curses of their drivers, but
made every animal in the city more
comfortable, improved and beautiGed
the city itself, and excited an epoch of
good feeling and kindness, the end of
which no one can tell

Household Hints,

1t is stated that a handful of hay in
pail of water in a newly painted
room will entirely neutralize the odor
of the new paint.
If the bedstead creaks at each move
ment of the sleeper, remove the Stats
and wrap the ends of each in old
newspaper. This will prove a com.
plete silencer.
If you are troubled to get soft water
for washing, fill a tub or barrel half
full of ashes, and fill up with water so
that you may have lye when you need
it. A gallon Of strong I've put into a
large kettle Of hard water will make
it as soft as rain water. For toilet
purposes teaspoonful of borax to a
pitcher of water, will make the water
soft, and is good for the complexion or
teeth.

The public have long suffered from
the tiendish scream of the steam whistle,
but there Is prospect of alienation.
Lately attention has been turned to this
matter, and that great remedial agent,
the inventor, has perfected different
styles of what has been known as a gong
whistle. But some one with the love OF
musical harmony in his soul has taken a
step further in the way OF removing the
offensive noise, and produced musical
chime whistle, the great merit of which
consists in producing musical chord
composed of the first, third and fifth
tones of the common musical scale The
effect of this chord in the whistle is to
remove the piercing, hurtful effect upon
the ear, aud at the same time very much
cnhNnce the carrying qualities of the
sound, from the fact that more tones or
vibrations of the air are produced.
