The report on the Dolphin submitted TO Sec
rotary Whitney by the naval board of fnspec-
tion il a true statement of facts. justifes the
Secretary in the stubbornneSs which he has
displayed in refusing to accept the ship. Ac-
cording TO the report, which is very explicit in
its statements, the ship is fraud and sham.
1t has failed to make the contract speed. even
under the most favorable conditions, and Is SD
faulty i'm construction as to be unseaworthy.
No doubt Mr.. Roach. who is very able con-
troversial.st. however he may rank as ship
builder will deny these findings most vigor-
ously. but the officers who compose the board
should have no motive for misrepresenting the
facts, and their unanimous opinions will carry
more weigh. than the interested statements of
the builder of the condemned craft.
But If the Dolphin is failure, IL does not fol-
low that a fraud was designed on the govern
ment, but may be only one more illustration of
the fact that Americans do not yet know how
to make a good sea-gOing iron steamship. Mr..
Roach had every motive for succeeding in this
the first of a series of ships which he might ex-
pect to build for the government. He probably
intended TO make good ship and is surprised,
no doubt, at his own lack of success, if indeed
he comprehends it.

New York dairymen who have been pushing

Not in Politics.

heard a very sensible thing recently
from a youngman who had just plucked
the political bee from his bonnet.
"What are you going to run for this
s%pring?"I asked. Gle has been a stand
ing candidate for some position or 9TH
er for several seasons past.) IT am not
a candidate for anything" he said, "and
l don't want you to get me mixed up in
politics any more. If you ever catch
running again before Tn so, I want
you to proclaim me a swindler. No.
sir; I've been there and I've been burned.
It's only one man in hundred that sue
ceeds in politics. The other ninety
nine, if they stick to the business, will
wind up in the poor-house; or, what is
equally bad, as stool-pigeons
in a gin-mill. I speak from an expert
ence of three years, and know I've Just
stopped on the brink of a precipice. I'm
going to attend to business for the rest
of my life-at least till I'm 5O-and
then, if m admiring nation wants to
make me O justice Of the peace, Tn
willing. But no high aspirations, O,
mol" N~inety-nine out of every hundred
of the young men who make q business
of politics ought to cut this out and
swear by it. 1t is applicable to the
horde of otfice-seeking youth who come
from all sections of the state when the
Legislature c%onvenes, as we'll as to MANY
who are afflicted with the political mania

Another Greeley Story.

Gen. Sheridan tells this story on
Horace Greeley: II was stationed at
New Orleans when Mr.. Greeley came
there or his tour when a candidate for
the presidency. The old creole resi-
dents gave him o dinner, and to make
it as fine an affair as possible each of
the hosts was laid under contribution
for some of the rarest wines in his cell
lar. When dinner was announced and
the halfshen oysters had disappeared
the waiter appeared at Mr.. Greeley's
seat with a plate Of beautiful shrimp.
"You car take them away" he said to
the waiter, and then he added apologet-
ically to the Mortified old French creole
gentleman who presided, II never eat
insects of any kind :" Later on soup
was served, and at the am time q glass
of delicious white wine was placed at
Mr.. Greeley's right hand. He pushed
it aside quietly, but not unobserved by
the chief host. "Do you not drink
wine?" he asked. .'No," answered Mr..
Greeley. II never drink any liquors."
rs there any thing you would like to
drink with your soup?" the host then
asked, . little disappointed. "If you've

Embroidery,

Embroiderers should have an eye for
color, and know something of drawing,
and at the same time they should have
a love of flowers, and cultivate the habit
of observing them carefully. They will
then instinctively avoid those which are
beyond the range of their art, and con-
tent themselves with such forms and
colors as can be pleasingly rendered in
silk and wool. 1t is good practice to
take up one character at a time, and
make a regular study OF it in this way.
Is is a pretty device to have on the
chairhacks and teacloth in the drawing
room, which require to be changed now
and then for the sake of variety, only
such flowers as are in bloom at the time.
During the greater part of the year this
IS quite practicable. In the whole
range of embroidery there is nothing
moro charming than u set of dessert
mats, worked on cream-colored satin
with outline silks, and edged with
delicate lace, each having a garland of
the prevailing hower-violets in April,
pansies in May, corndowers in June,
forget-me-nots in July, single dahlias
in August, grapes and vine leaves in
September, and in the winter Virginia
creeper leaves.-American Queen.

Fill q bottle made of colorless glass;
look through the water at some black
object; the water should appear perfect
ly colorless. A muddy or turbid APP
pearance indicates the presence of solu-
BILE organic matter, or of solid matter in
suspension. Odor-Empty out some of
the water, cork up the bottle and place
it for few hours in a warm place; shake
it, remove the cork, and if the odor is
in the least repulsive, the water should
be rejected. BY heating the water to
boiling q n odor is evolved that other
wise does not appear. Taste-Water
fresh from a we'll is usually tasteless,
even though it may contain q large
amount of putrescible organic matter.
Water for domestic use should be per-
fectly tasteless and remain SO, even af-
ter it has been warmed. Heisch's test
for sewage contaminntion-Fill o clean
pint bottle three-fourths full of water,
dissolve a teaspoonful of loaf or granu-
lated sugar, cork the bottle and place it
in a warm place for two days. If the
water becomes cloudy or muddy it is
unfit for domestic use. If it remains
perfectly clear, it is probably safe to
use,

Sore Shoulders in Horses.

Farm horses are most liable to have
sore shoulders in early spring, when un-
accustomed to work. If humanity does
not lead to care in prevention and cure,
interest will prompt it, for certainly a
horse with sound shoulders will do
more work than if these be swollen and
lacerated, Prevention is better than
cure. The first point is to secure good,
well fitting collars, those of soft leath-
er, of equal hardness on both sides.
Many collars are stuffed more solidly
on n side than on the other, and
should be rejected. The horse should
be fitted to q collar at the shop, as two
very seldom have shoulders exactly
alike. I have often wondered that
farmers do not have collars made espec-
tally for each horse. The cost
would be amply repaid, as is it
slight compared with the increased SER
vice that would thus be secured. Ipre-
fer q collar stuffed with hair. The
leather should be kept we'll oiled, es-
pecially where meeting the shoulder.
Pure meats foot oil makes the leather
soft and pliable, and is a good proven
tive and cure for sore shoulders. Cloth
collars are now made, and cloth pads to
cover the entire collar face. I know
that they are good and recommend them
to other farmers. Early in the spring,
at least two weeks before blowing com
mences, begin bathing the shoulders of
each work horse with strong salt brine.
L keep in the stalls an old fruit can, and
a bag tied to the end of d cob; and it
takes but a moment to throw in ahand-
full Of salt with some water, stir it up
apply the brine. Ittoughens and hard
ems the skin and cools it, allaying in
fammation. I do this each evening;
after work begins I first wash off the
shoulders with clean water. I have
never been troubled with sore shoulders
since [ have taken to carefully selecting
collars, keeping them soft with oil
and bathing frequently with the salt
water. The best cure for sore shout
ders is rest, and this may be secured
without stopping work, by removing
the pressure from the irritated spot.
One method is to cut a long, narrow slit
in the home groove opposite the sore
ness, enlov part of the stuf1ing and
make o little depression by pounding
the face over the sore. The slit will
not injure the collar. Another method
is to use pads above and below the ten
der spot to keep off the pressure. After
considerable experience L consider the
best pad one made by stufling a coat
sleeve with hay, about one inch thick
between the collar and shoulder, but
thinner where it passes under the names.
Hay works into Jumps less than rags,
hair or wool, and is elastic enough to
spring the collar from the shoulders
when the draft slackens, giving them
opportunity to cool and rest. NJ. S,

Crazy Cushion,

Take a square cambria the size you
wish your sofa cushion to be, then haste
your pieces Of silk, satin or velvet on
the cambria, just as they are, that is, in
any shape or size they may be, fitting
them so that no part of the cambria will
show; turn in the edges and stitch
them down with silk of various colors.
Different fancy stitching may be used
making as great a variety as possible.
A sofa pillow can be made of Java
canvas in this neighborly way. The
owner makes q wreath on a square of
canvas and then passes it around
among her friends and each one works
whatever she chooses, using colors as
suits the fancy. Another method is to
divide the canvas into small squares by
a simple pattern of cross stitch, and fill
center square with some design, and
have friends fill up the other squares.
When all the rectangles are wrought,
line with some firm material, and make
the under part of bright colored fabric.
Fill with curled hair, and finish the
edge with cord ornamenting the n
with ~tassels.
