FARM AND HOME.
First French Horse. In America.

FIRST French Horses in America.
Many reasons contributed their weight TO lad
the early settlers Of this country, whether
French, or English, or -Ich to ing out at
first, and TO continue TO import, small OF medium
sized horses only. There were poor roads; the
products Of the farm were used chiefly for home
consumption; there was a little heavy teaming,
like hauling ship-tmber, ETC., and to this, in the
condition Of the roads, oxen were much better
adapted. Besides, the vessels plying upon the
the Atlantic were small, and almost every ship
that brought cattle or horses, met with some
losses. Even the French Who settled lower
Canada, selected the smallest horses they could
bring with them, taking such as would prove
seryiceable farm horses probably, without much
reference TO blood However blood will tell -
and those little horses OF Brittany and Nor
mandy, which, while their blood has been very
little replenished by fresh streams from home
and has been more or less mingled with that of
English races, have maintained their character
istics quite distinct, and form in the French
kanuck,' one Of the very best breeds of horses
which we have. 1t resembles the PercherOn in
form, and in many Of its characteristics, and no
doubt may claim close eonssnguinity.
In this connection, We would mention the
fact that Loudon, in his Encyclopedia OF Agri-
culture, published in 1881, mentions the Per-
cherons Of Crotentin and vicinity, as "a noble
race OF large draft horses, equal 10 any seen in
England, and among which the chestnut color
seems to prevail" The chestnut or sorrel col
or seems TO prevail largely among the Kanucks
and notwithstanding the fact that when Per
cherons first began 10 be imported into this
country, they were almost universally gray. vet
II seems that with them, such changes as we
have since seen, are not unusual

a New York girl took a seat on the
sunny side of Fourth avenue car as
it turned into the Bowery. She was
little bunch of loveliness, and her
black eyes twinkled with a CLEAN that
told of merry soul Though small
she carried good many pounds of
sweetness TO the square inch, and as
she settled back in the seat with the
tips of the daintiest little shoes Just
touching the floor and dove eagerly
into a big blue-cOvered book everybody
looked at her because they could not
help it. She smiled so sweetly at the
conductor, whom she had kept uncon-
sciously waiting for her fare. that the
attractive Bowery Museum pictures
for once passed him by without notice.
A large jewel on her left hand flashed
prismatic rays as the pages of the book
were quickly turned.
Presently a tall, well-dressed man,
with an immense black mustache. got
on the car and sat down by her side.
He turned his eyes upon his little
neighbor with an admiring glance and
never took them off She did not
know it until she raised her head
quickly 10 see how far up the car had
gone, when he smiled and bowed to
her. She was buried in her book in
second and the carmine in her cheek
took on deeper tinge, He kept up
the steady gaze. She felt it, but die
not look up. Her face became sober,
and she held the book with a tighter
grip. He moved his head forward,
and sideways and coughed to attract
her attention. She was annoyed, but
tried not to show it. Though she APP
peared to be intently reading, the
pages were not turned. He grew
holder and she became more deter
mined not to notice him. As the ear
passed Cooper institute he lowered his
face close to her with a disgusting
leer. She saw him not, and he was
quiet for moment.
Then he raised his hand to his chin
and touched the little woman's shout
der with his elbow. She did not stir,
out the blood seemed as If it would
burst through her fair skin, and her
eyelids trembled. He repeated the last
maneuver and leaning toward her said
something in a whisper. The little
feet patted the floor for 4 second, then
like flash her left hand few upward
and the lustre of the bright gem on her
finger was buried in the cheek Of the
man who had insulted her. Before he
knew what was the matter the blow
was repeated with greater force. The
car had reached Fourteenth street.
which was just where the ''masher'
wanted to 90. and he slid out of the
car as if the air were creased. with the
laughter of the passengers ringing in
his ears. She seemed startled and
smiled prett;ly in a frightened sort of
way, As if she had done something she
ought not to have done. Then she tried
to read her book. but she kept watch of
the streets and when the car got to
Twenty-fourth street she got off, as
modest aud unassuming as ever.

Nashville American: The largest
rattlesnakes are in Texas. on the Low
er Rio Grande, where they sometimes
attain the length of twelve feet and are
heavy in proportion. The smallest are
the ''horned" rattlesnakes of Arizona,
New Mexico. and Southern California,
which seldom reach a length Of two feet
They have two little excrescences over
the eyes, and are fun of devilment.
They have rattles, but seldom use
them, preferring to lie half hidden in
the sand until stepped on, when they
demonstrate. The sand or desert
rattlesnake is also small and pretends
to be on neighbOrly terms with the
prairie dog, whose burrows be occu-
pies. ! have reason 20 believe that
when the rattle snake inserts himself
in The bosom Of a prairie dogs family
he does so on fraudulent grounds and
is uBwillingly entert aimed. The prai-
RE dog carries no life insurance, and
cannot afford a quarrel, and the snake
is mean enough to take the advantage
of him. There is a little brown and
very cOmical owl who likewise taxes
up residence with the prairie dog. but
he makes at least show Of earning his
rent by remaining at the entrance and
acting as janitor, politely bowling TO
every BODY who passes. Neither snake,
dog, nor owl seems 10 mind the others
presence, but are exceedingly sssiSsls.
