WORTH TRYING.
Simple Method of Teaching Horses to
Stand Without Being Hitched.

Simple Method of Teaching Horses to
Stand Without Being Hitched.
An old horseman gives the following
as his method of training horses to
stand without being tied: After young
horses have once become entirely
bridle-wise, I first endeavor to teach
them the meaning of every word I say
to them. This is not difficult matter,
provided too many words are not used
at once. The first step is to adopt
some word at the sound of which they
are to understand that they must stop.
Words that are easy to speak, and
which can be made emphatic, should
be chosen, such as 'tho, " ''whOa," ETC.,
and every time the word is used the
horse to which it is spoken should be
made to obey it fully. Carelessness in
regard to this matter will do more to
undo what has been taught than any
thing else When a horse fully under
stands the meaning of the word which
Won use when YOU wish him to stop
and stand still, the greater part of the
work is accomplished. He then can
be trusted with safety while you leave
him a short time. To take no risk,
and to make the work more effective,
it is a good plan to get into the vehicle
to which a horse is hitched, and, hav-
ing stopped after a short drive, one
should get out and leave him for a
short distance. Should the horse then
start, the one IN the vehicle can draw
the lines suddenly, and thus prevent
his getting away. There will be no
trouble in teaching any horse with an
ordinary amount Of good common sense
to stand without being hitched, if
little judgment and patience are used
in attempting it.-COLnaa1s'S R1TG&

referred to reads as follows: "Then said

found a verdict of not guilty.

a WIDE-AWAKE COUNT.
An European Aristocrat Who Was Not
AS Green As He Seemed.

Washington Post.l
hear that Count Leyden, of the Ger
man Legation, who has just returned to
his fatherland, had a little experience in
New York City that surprised him some
what, and will give him something to tell
to this old folks at home. While he was
sitting in the office of the Clarendon Hotel
a gentleman greeted him very warmly,
and was quite embarrassed because the
Count did not recognize him. He was
son of Secretary Bayard, he said, and had
frequently met the Count at his fathers
! house in Washington. The resemblance
was not very striking, but as the young
man appeared to be very familiar with
social and official matters at Washington,
and ratified off the names of members
of the diplomatic corps as if he were
in the habit of reciting over the catalogue
every morning before breakfast, Count
Leyden naturally supposed that the fellow
was what he pretended to be, and treated
him with cordiaIity, inviting him to lunch
con, and entertaining him at his room.
After luncheon the two went out for a
walk, and the Count reluctantly accepted
pressing invitation to visit the Office of a
man with whom Mr.. Bayard's son had
some business.
The Count remained in an ante-room
while the young man was engaged with
his friends inside. After awhile the latter
came out with a distressing expression
upon his countenance, and with great hes
itation and embarrassment revealed the
fact that he was in a notifying scrape,
and must pay two hundred and fifty doll
lars at once or go to prison. He begged
the Count TO give him the money and take
draft upon his father, which he would
assist him in getting cashed at a bank
around the corner. The Count ex.
cused himself from complying with
the wishes of Mr.. Bayard's son, as he did
not have that amount of money with him.
''Nr. Bayard's son went back into the inner
office, and after a few moments absence
returned to explain that his debtor had
agreed to give him few days more time,
providing he would leave a deposit of fifty
dollars. He had about seven dollars, and
if the Count would make up the balance
he would give him a draft upon the Secre-
tary of State. Count Leyden, who by that
time had come to the conclusion that his
friend was a confidence man, very en-
phatically declined to relieye his distress,
and left the Office feeling very queer. He
thought of telegraphing Mr.. Brown at the
State Department, but after consulting
with the clerk at the hotel, decided that
his impressions were correct and that Mr..
BayaTd's son was fraud.

PARNELL'S HOME.

A Mystery That Was Finally Solved
Through Accident.
One of the most mysterious matters
connected with the Home Rule move
ment to Englishmen has been to know
where Mr.. Parneu lives. If any one
asked his address of an Irish member
he was always directed to write
either to the House of Commons or to
the general Office of the Irish Parlia-
mentary party. Even members of the
party who are known to be on terms
of the greatest intimacy with Mr.. Par
nell have always declared that they
had not the slightest idea where he
lived beyond the fact that it was
somewhere in the country. not far from
London. Every few months, occasion

An Amulet which Brings Luok.

"Here is an Egyptian amulet which
makes a pretty bit of jewelry," said a
salesman in a jewelry store. cit is a rep

with a tear dropping from it, which Is SUPP
posed to represent the river Nile. The
amulet brings good luck and prosperity to
the wearer, and as it is Egyptian and as
the former rulers of that land were in the
habit of wearing them, we think there
will be no trouble in disposing of large
number this season. They are called
'Oudja,' which means good luck.' Egyp-
tian chronicles relate many incidents of
the good fortune which the mysterious in
duence of this amulet has brought.

THE SLANG HABIT.
A Reformation Which Should be Wrought
without Days Delay.

A Reformation Which Should be Wrought
without Days Delay.
Should we not check our little ones
1hen they make use of slang express
sions, instead of smiling upon them as
if it was clever? We should teach
them that such conversation is demon
alizing; that it will actually do them
harm; then, as they advance in years,
they may dislike and despise it. Moth
ers, are there not some among you who
advise your daughters, as they depart
from your side to attend some social
gathering, to ''make a mash, or who,
upon their return, inquire: did you
make a mash?'' What can a mother
be thinking of when she makes such an
inquiry? / beg of such a one (for
there are those who do this) to pause,
to consider what she encourages. You
can not reasonably expect your daugh-
ter to become pure-minded woman if
you fail to be an example Of such. The
common slang is enormously thought
witty. True wit may be appreciated
among sensible people, but slang
never! / would challenge any one to
discover any thing ennobling, any
thing womanly, any thing even witty
about the use of what is nowadays
termed genteel slang; for there are
those who despise the coarse express
sions which so often fall from the lips
of the street-loafer. who appear to
glory in such expressions as going
for him, . getting left. etc. Where
shall we find as noble types of woman
hood in the future as our past records
furnish US, if our girls do not rid them
selves of this pernicious habit2 To
work a reformation we must begin
with the mothers. Through them we
may reach the daughters, hoping for
the sons to follow. Let Us marshal
ourselves in one grand army, mothers
and daughters leading the van; sons
and brothers will not be willing TO be
found very far in the rear Christian
