The truth is, says the Boston Adver-
tiser. that despite her origin aud anteced-
ents, Plymouth has little to remind the
chance observer of the pilgrim character.
While taking pardonable pride in the
towns history, her people are not wholly
devoted to memory and "Reminiscences"
In no New England village has the leaven
of liberal thought more thoroughly per-
meated the lump of Puritianism than it
has here in Plymouth. Her citizens are
not averse to worldly pleasure, nor insen-
sible to such material comforts as good
sidewalks and well-lighted streets: her
first church. which the pilgrim fathers
founded, Is Unitarian church; her Sab
bath, with the incoming of trains and
steamboats,, Is not a Sabbath that the
stern old puritans would have counte-
nanced. She has welcomed a reasonable
degree of progress in her industrial life.
The once fine fishing fleet has dwindled
to nothingness, but factories have sprung
into existence, and brought with them
new opportunities for employment and
profit. The latter-day pilgrim is not Civ
en- to blindly worshiping the past; neither
does he sit on the rock of his ancestors
and mourn because their ways are not our
ways. The square old-fashioned houses,
with colonial doors and porches," are
not visible to flesh and blood sightseers.
Indeed, 1t Is often matter of wonder to
strangers that there should be so few
dwellings, of anti-Revolutionary date, or
at least bearing the stamp of great an
tlquity. The prevailing architecture of
the place, while not modern, is of that
nondescript character which came in with
the present century, when people builded
less for architectural display than for the
sake of having roof over their heads
As IN other seaports the older houses hug
closely the street line, their stoops even
encroaching on the sidewalks, the appar-
ent aim of their occupants being to let
no passing sight escape them.

The education of the colt should com
mence when he is very young, and by
those only who are themselve: educated,
or at least have common sense enough to
know how. Horses of high mettle are
more easily educated than those of less or
dull spirits, and are more susceptible to
i'll training or bad management, and,
consequently, may be made good or bad
according to the education they receive.
But horses of dull spirits are susceptible
TO bad management, and in them may be
found the most provoking obstinacy and
vicious habits of different characters, that
render them almost worthless. Could the
coming generation of horses in this coun-
try be kept, from their earliest days of
colthood to the age of five years, wholly
in the hands of good and careful mana
gers, there would be vast difference in
the general character of these noble ami
mails.
If a colt is never allowed to get an ad-
vantage, it will never know that it pos
sesses a power which man cannot control.
and il made familiar with strange OBJ
jects it will not be skittish and nervous.
Above all things colt should early be
taught to stop at the word whoa He
should be made to stand quietly while you
are getting in or out of the carriage or
wagon to which he is hitched, as the lack
of this part of his education subjects the
person or persons using him to frequent
annoyance and often serious injury.
Vicious habits are easily induced in hors-
es by tickling and plagueing them while
in the stable, and under no circumstances
should ever be tolerated. Never beat or
use harsh language to 4 horse in the
stable, unless you prefer vicious to
clever one. A horse is susceptible of tax
ing in vast amount of knowledge, and
his education should be of the nature that
will render him the most safe and useful

Value of Cypress Lumber.

Cypress lumber is slowley but steadily
making place for itself in northern
markets says The Lumberman, and it
various purposes will grow with unceas-
ing rapidity. This lumber has been call
ed the white pine of the south and it GER
calmly merits the title in good many i'm
portaIt respects. 1t is adapted to a num-
Der of purposes for which only the best
white pine was considered suitable few
years ago; and there is hardly a question
that it will be found available hereafter
for many more. In southern and south
western districts-and especially on the
Texas prairies-it is bound to cut con-
spicuous figure, and is likely to furnish
in few years the bulk of the finishing
stock used in that section as it does now
a good part of the shingles. For the
manufacture of the latter it unauestion-
able surpasses in peculiar fitness any
variety of lumder that has served as food
for the sbinglemaker's saw. 1t is report
ed to offer resistance to the deteriorat-
ing effects of weather exposure that ad-
mits of no comparison with other woods
available for like purposes, which alone
gives it special value that it is hard to
overrate. The stock of good cypress
timber, moreover, is not large by any
means, and as the production and con-
sumption increase the value of the stump
age Is certain to enhance rapidly. 1t is
good stuff to buy and better stuff to hold

parasites. Where they have been most
numerous, and as a consequence, the
worst injuries inflicted. the wool will be
found to have fallen off, raw places will
also be found on those portions of the
body worst rubbed. or where the animal
has been able to bite itself. and the yellow
moisture already mentioned has been re-
placed by mass of yellow scab, which
adheres lightly to the skin and wool. The
skin will also be found to be raw in many
places. and If in summer the disease will
be furthur aggravated by the presence in
the sores of the larvee of the blow fly,

row into the skin. and add greatly to the
ANIMALS sufferings. The continued and
increasing irritation which marks this
stage also prevents proper feeding and
rest, and this soon tells on the general
health of the animal, producing emacia-
ton, debility, and sometime lingering
death.

The Hole of Death.
O. rs TY.I

1t is an awful sight to see a man drown.
But with foresight and skill no man need
drown. Fancy a sea in which there is no
swimming, and sea into which you may
plunge unaware. A man is loyking over
the green prairie, looking out from under
his board sombrero at the lazy cattle and
the prairie-dogs playing in the sun. Sud
denly there is a sound like a giants
throat swallowing a shaking shout of ter
ror. The prairie dogs run into their holes.
and moment later come out eau
tiously, curious and frightened. The
tall, reee-like grass is waving where the
horse and rider were just now. The ante
lope on the crest of the divide Wonder
look around them watchfully. But there
is nothing to fear-no man in sight. He
is going to town, that rider, with the
wages of hard Winters work in his
pocket, riding his favorite broncho, dress
ed in the buckskins he had fringed in the
Winter evenings, ready to show the fool
ish girls how brave he looked in his rude
attire. Where is he now he and his
horse? In grave of Shiny, shivering
mud-alkali paste, blue with nameless
tint of putrid death, has filled his throat
covered his eyes before he could close the
lids.

freak of nature-some work of devil en-
dowed with a moments power! No; only
an alkali sink; only natural well filled
with paste as yielding az water-reten-
tive as hell. Picture to yourself the sur
face settling back to its normal quietude
with an indeseribable gulp, ghoul-like
smacking of grave lips. A grave that
supplies itself with dead-a grave that
buries almost before it kills-an insatia-
BILE, bottomless grave, set like trap for
the living. The sink-hole is not always
covered with grass; sometimes it has a
caked and scanned crust of blush white
alkali on the top of it. But even that is a
poor safeguard, for the long green grass
around it will hide it from the rider until
it is too late to avoid it.
The tenacity of this paste of mud is
something Incredible. have never seen
a man caught in a sink hole, but | have
seen man ride to the edge of one, dis
cover it too late to turn his horse, and
shaking himself loose in the saddle, vault
over the horn-pommSl, when the pony
was caught, striking the ground far be-
yond the sink hole. There were twenty
men there, and before the horse had sunk
far there were a half a dozen ropes fast
to him. Half dozen strong ponies can
pull almost anything, but they could not
draw that horse back from the grave that
was closing over him. There is a strange
suction about this alkali mud-it holds
all its grasps with horrible pertinacity.

Seab inSheep.
Prairie Farmer.

The disease among sheep, known as
scab; is due TO minute parasites They
multiply with wonderful rapidity in the
skin of the affected animals, and by their
constant and excessive irritation produce
all those symptoms which are known to
indicate their presence. These are con-
slant tendency to rub and scratch itself.
loss of wool, arrangements of the func-
tions, etc. The rubbing tendency is the
first sign. the animals, availing themselves
of a tree, gate-post, shed. corner, or any
projecting object, to ATTAIN relief from
the intense itching caused by the para
site. As the disease develops, the sheep
grow more and more restless, and in addi-
ton to the rubbing propensity, evince a
tendency to bite themselves, also to scratch
the sides of the body with their feet. At
the commencement of the malady. the
wool does not fall of, and when the sheep
are quiet and feeding, nothing would in
dictate the existence of the scab- But if
an animal is caught and carefully exam
ined. spots or welts will be found, white
In the center hard to the touch, and the
center of each spot marked with many
blisters, from which issues q yellow mois-
ture. which soaks through the wool mat
ting 1t together. No scabs can be discov-
cred at this stage, and on the affected
spots they will be found firm.
As the disease progresses, the symp-
toms become more and more marked.
The tendency to rub and bite increases,
and the condition of the skin itself gives
visible evidence of the ravages of the
