 -E. H. Hanley tells in the New En- glGrd Homestead how he treats choking cattle. When COW chokes on apples he pushes down the animals throat a rubber hose until the obstruction is forced into its stomach. He keeps on hand for this purpose a one and one- quarter inch rubber hose four or five feet long When the hose is not very stiff stick may be put inside to give it the required tension. The rubber being smooth, causes the animal no pain.

BOYS AND COLTS.
Why Young Persons Should Be Interested
 in Young Stock.

Why Young Persons Should Be Interested
 in Young Stock.
 It has occurred to the minds of but few boys on the farm how much real, unalloyed amusement they can get by studying the varying degrees, diversity and range of intelligence of the colt. The most powerful incentive that can be used with colts to induce them to do as wanted when taken in hand for special training is the hope of reward. The boy who expects to be farmer, raising few horses only, or a horse-breeder raising many, or any one who is neither of these, but expects merely to keep a team or single horse for his personal use, is interested in knowing what he may expect of the average horse. When the colts arc taken up from pasture for the winter-and we take this occasion to say that this should not be so long de- layed as to permit the young thing to feel the discomfort of the first cold blasts, much less to remain out in the snowstorm-it will be good time to look them ONGI, dIlu SlN0 blIcIl lucutttl Cllil dCUcIlS- tics little careful preliminary study. Having had their liberty during the summer, mainly away from the touch of human hands, it will be easy to discover which individual colts will take kindly to the restraints that await them in their winter quarters, and which will be apt and willing pupils in the lessons pro- posed. Older heads than boys heads would be profited by giving more atten- tion to the mental capabilities of the young horse stock coming on, as these are destined to cut so important figure in the daily movements upon the farm and road. Some horsemen teach that the brain of the horse can entertain but one thought at time. Wed do not coin- eide with this idea, yet suggest that when the young stock is brought in they be tested in very gentle manner as to tendency to timidity, or, on the other hand, the extent of their confidence in their keepers.-Nationag LiUe StocA Journal.

PROFIT IN HOGS.
One of the Surest and Quickest Ways to
 Make Money.

One of the Surest and Quickest Ways to
 Make Money.
 Enthusiastic swine-breeders, of sta tistical turn of of mind, occasionally try to show by figures the comparative inn portance of the hog-grOwing interest of this country. But no great array of figures is needed to satisfy tue farmer of moderate means, that hog-raising is one of the surest and quickest way of mak- ing money. It takes less capital than in the rearing of horses or cattle, and it brings returns much sooner.
 The greatest drawback in swine breeding is the liability to losses from the epidemic diseases which so ire quently sweep through the coun- try. Yet the great prolificacy and rapid growth of hogs, render it possible to soon recover frem these losses and still come out ahead of even the fast horse men. A friend recently remarked that he had followed the showing of horses at fairs for many years, though from lack of sufficient capital, not as largely as he would have liked. At the same time he kept lot of good hogs at home, and almost immediately on re- turning from the fairs in the fall, he had to sell his hogs to pay his horse showing expenses. Since then he handles fewer horses and more hogs. Now, instead of standing near the foot of the row as a breeder of good horses and hogs, he has advanced to the foremost rank as a breeder of improved swine.- Westeu PiOCCnsG71.

IRON CRYSTALS.
Coed Steel Presenting the Appearance ot
 Groups of Beautiful Crystals.

An exchange says that the microscop ic determination of the different quali- ties of iron and steel is now regarded as one of the most valuable aids in metal lurgical industries. Thus the crystals & iron are double pyramids in which the proportion of the axes to the bases sva- ries with the quantity of the iron; the smallness of the crystals and the height of the pyramids composing each ele- ment are in proportion to the quality and density of the metal, which are seen in the finencss of the surface; and as the proportion of the carbon diminishes in the steel, the pyramids have so much the less height. In pig iron and the lower qualities of hard steel the crystals approach the more closely the cubic form. Forged iron has its pyramids flattened and reduced to superposed parallel leaves, whose structure consti- tutes what is called the nerve of the steel; and the best quality of steel has all its crystals disposed in parallel lines, each crystal filling in the interstices be- tween the angles of those adjoining, these crystals having their axes in the direction of the percusSi sion they undergo during the working. Practically, good steel has the appearance, microscopi- cally, of large groups of beautiful crYs- talS.-BrOO6lgn Edqle.

 Food.

Children Should Be Taught to Chew All
 Food.
 The dentists are again Haunting the specter of toothlessness in the faces of the men and women of the future, and they claim as their reason that parents will not teach their children to properly masticate their food. They assert fur thermore, that there is an excessive ten dency to select meats that can be easily eaten, and so proper exercise is not given to the mouth and teeth; thus the latter become weak, the gums spOngy and the lips dry. Of course, this may be exaggerated, but there is certainly much that is true in it. Witness the quickness with which a person will choose tenderloin rather than sirloin steak. ''So much easier to eat," is the excuse. It does not have to be chewed is the real reason. If the mothers will only give attention to this, how grateful will be their sons and daughters when middle age is reached, and they have still a sweet, clean mouth and strong healthy teeth. Give a child food that needs chewing; forbid its being swal- lowed in Jumps, and see that it IS not done Teach him to brush and care for his teeth, and there is no reason why they should not remain with him until they have performed the duty for which they were desi esigned.-DelinedtOr

Social Serpents Whose Smallness of Soul Is Almost Incomprehensible.
 We have all met the man who pridea himself on his candor; and if there is any human being whom it is perfectly proper to loathe and abhor it is the de- mon who is constantly saying that he is candid and always says as he thinks. As . general thing he does not know how to think, but he imagines he does, and proceeds at once to hold the water-pot of his insane vaporings over your head and sprinkle you, until you feel like patch of noxious weeds. It is a curious fact that the wild animal known as the can- did man is never able to see your good qualities, but he snaps at your bad ones like hungry trout at fly. He looks you all over with his critical microscope, .,nd if there is something good in your life does he take it gently into his hands, hold it up to the sunshine, turn it round to get better view, and then put it back in its place with the remark: t'That's worth having, and I'm glad you lave it; try and get some more of the same kind?" Never! We say it very emphatically. Never! He is not candid in that way. But let him get glimpse of fib, and he will chase it as weasel does rat, and when he has caught it he will hold it up with an air of triumph, as though he had no other business in life than to hunt for such things, and then deliver a forty-minute discourse on the ultimate destination of people who tell fibs-it is called sheol in the revised version-and end by saying with an air of depregiation: "1'm candid, and always say what I think" In nine sases out of ten candor is only another name for unspeakable meanness and mallness of oul, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it ought to be vigorously suppressed.-M ".

 -Vegetarianism is spreading rapidly in London Ten years ago it was diffi- cult to find an avowed vegetarian, but now more than 2,OO0 persons refresh themselves daily at vegetarian restau- rants.
 An ancient Greek inscription of curious interest has just been discov- cred in cavern under the western side of Mount Ida, in Crete, showing that the cavern in question was identified in an- tiquity as that where Jupiter was fabled to have been nurtured by nymphs.
 A correspondent of the London Times has discovered source of dan ger in wrought iron railroad bridges. He says that when many of them were built the weight of a locomotive was only two-thirds as much as at present, and that the iron work has naturally been growing weaker.
 The three Emperors were together at Kremsier twenty hours only, but the entertainment while there cost the Aus trian Court Treasury some $500, 900, or S250 minute. There were 800 persons at two meals and among the wines were 1000 bottles of Rhine cabinet, 5000 bottles of champagne and 2,500 of claret.
 In a speech at Kilmarnock the other day Lord Rosebery told good story about his little girl. She had been told by her nurse that if she did not think so much by day she would dream less at night. But I can't help thinking, " she told her father. ''For you know, !" she added pathetically, ''I can not make my mind sit down."
 Preparations are in progress in London for holding great inventions exhibition next year aboard one or two huge vessels anchored in the Thames. The advantage expected to be derived from the project lies in the fact that without great expense the exhibits can be taken to all the principal ports of Europe and so placed before the eyes of millions instead of hundreds of thou sands.
 In London recently a Coroner's S Jury in case of suicide brought in a verdict of murder. As this would in- volve serious penalties to the family the humane Coroner begged the jury to al- ter it to temporary insanity, using the following argument: ''Allow me to re- mark, though you may not be aware of it, that every man is mad on some point. I'm mad, and you're mad, if we only knew about what. The deceased's mad point was to kill himself" The verdict was changed.
 A dreadful mistake was made not long ago by physician in Warsaw. A young girl suffered from some disease in one eye, and there was danger that the other eye would be similarly affected unless the diseased eye was speedily re- moved. The girl was chloroformed and the eye successfully removed; but, to the consternation of all, when the patient regained consciousness, it was discov- cred that the sound eye had been re- moved. The physician was so over- come with remorse that he fled from the house.

CRABS AND GROWS.
How the Modern Crab Retrograded in In-
 telligence.


 telligence.
 In looking over curious old book the other day we came upon the follow ing natural history anecdotes, which, though related as facts, can hardly be accepted as such in our day. In one of them it is explained how crabs eat oys- ters. Being very fond of oysters, the willy crab hunts about until he finds in some quiet corner an oyster opening his shell to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air-or rather salt water. Knowing that his claws would be smashed if he ventured alone within the powerful grip of the shells, the crab thoughtfullv drops sin pebble between the shells, and then cruelty eats out the live oyster at his leisure, with no more remorse than the human being feels who cuts out his mollusc with knife. This ac- count has not been verified by recent observers, any more than the fable of the barnacle goose; so that we are left to suppose either that the modern crab has retrograded in intelligence, or the modern scientist advanced Another such story is that there is special en- mity between the crow and the owl, in pursuance of which the crow devours the owls eggs in the daytime, when the owl can not see, and the owl the crows in the night when the crow can not seq. -ChTistiQn Gt Work.

are then tied in punches and sent into the street in the hands of the entire fam fly, from the head of the house, the manufacturer of the toys, down to the smallest child.
 On nice, bright day family of 1tal- ians, spread along Chestnut and Eighth streets, can easily sell from one hundred and fifty to two hundred balloons in a day, and earn from twelve to seventeen dollars. At that rate of profit, if every day were bright and every days sales so good, the balloon-peddler would soon make an independent fortune. The days of heavy sales are few, however, and there are less than half-dozen men in Philadelphia who have an inflating- machine, and these are the only ones who know how the inflating gas is made.
 Another drawback to the extensive manufacture of toy-balloons is the fact that it is toy for the day only, and a stock of inflated balloons can not be kept on hand, as they either collapse so much as to become unstable or else burst if kept over night. The salesmen or makers get over this difficulty by let ting out the gas from those balloons which they fail to sell, and initiate them again the next time they want to offer | their wares for sale.
 ''I have stoppa da beesness," said an old balloon-maker named Fogacci. '.Maka me seeck."
 The fumes of the muriatic acid and zinc he said, were injurious to the health, and, besides that, the balloon maker gets his lungs full of the dust of the rubber in testing the bags before in- flating them, and the smell of the cheap paint which he uses in ornamenting them nauseates him.-Philadelpbia 1 Ledger.

Indifference and Insensibility Not Tests of High Breeding.
 Cultivation alone will not make a lady of vulgar woman, nor gentle man of a boor. Innate vulgarity will manifest itself in spite of all forms of politeness and etiquette. To certain class of persons indifference is the test of high breeding. If you educate q man or woman to insensibility, he in their view is gentleman, and she is a lady.
 A woman was one day brought before the Judge of police court. She said in her defense:
 Me and another lady was a-having a few words, and she called me q 'hinde- widual, and ups with a pail of water, and chucked it all over her, and that began the row between me and the other lady"
 Me and the other lady indeed.
 The following notice was once put up over the door of show:
 'No lady or gentleman admitted into this show in state of intoxication."
 A hand-bill in St. Louis read:
 ''One hundred rats to be killed by one dog in ten minutes. None but gentle men are expected to be present on this occasion"
 The advertisement of a dog fight in 8 Western town read
 Tickets admitting both gentleman and lady can be had for one dollar"
 A very elegantly dressed woman once rudely pushed man from d crowded sidewalk, saying as she did so:
 "Ain't you got any more manners than to stand right in front of lady?"
 A shabbily dressed woman accidently ran against a superb-looking woman whose dress and manner indicated the perfect lady.

Politics Too Much for Him.

A lady on Fifth Avenue, New York, quickly summoned doctor:
 "Oh, doctor, my husband is nearly dead. He attended 8 caucus last night: He made four speeches and promised to be with lis fellow citizens again to-day. But oh, doc. ptor, he looks nearly dead."
 "Has he been in politics long"
 "No, only last year. He worked hard for *James McCaulay's election"
 "He will get well, madam! He has a stomach for any disease, if he worked for him."
 Political life, of short or long duration, is very exhausting, as is evident from the great mortality which prevails among public men. Ex-U. s. Senator B. K. Bruce, who has been long in public life, says:
 "The other day, when stepping into a car at a crossing, I found Dr. - within, who eyed me up and down in a surprised way, remarking:
 "Why, Senator, how we'll you lookP
 "sWell, feel pretty well,' 1 answered" |"
 The doctor uttered an incredulous reply, when the Senator frankly told him, in an- swer to an inquiry, that it was Warmers safe cure which accomplished for him what the profession had failed to do. Sem ator Bruce says his friends are very much astonished at this revelation of power.- The Globe.

While some people in America call aU horses imported from France Nor mans, I is c fact that there is no breed
 in France called by that name by the
 French people; the name, Norman,
 therefore, is purely American. The principal breeds of France are known as Percherons and Boullanais. The Percherons are the most highly prized of aU French races, and GU departments of France go to the Perche for stallions to improve their local breeds. The Percheron stud book of France, pub lished under tue authority of the French GoUernment, is the only stud book of draft horses that iS or eUer has been pub lished in France, and now contains the pedigrees of about 5000 animals. But some importers are offering certificates from France of Norman draft horses that may mislead people who do not understand the French language into believing these records of origin. Not one of them issued contains pedigree. They are furnished at the request of American buyers by the secretary of one of the French Agricultural socie- ties, who says there is no intention of publishing them in stud book form, as they have no pedigrees and are of no value whatever. 1t is a well known fact that what man gives for horse over from $500 to S800-the price of a good grade-is paid for purity of blood; and where the seller is not able to give the recorded pedigree of the animal sold as evidence of additional value, he has no right to ask it. With these facts before him, DO intelligent man will buy a horse imported from France unless he is recorded with his pedigree in full ill the Percheron Stud Book of France.
