Simple But Effective Means for Promoting
Their Usefulness.
There is difference in horses as well
as in people. Some are more intelligent
than others. Take colt that comes
from a good strain of horses and handle
it and pet it when young, as we do
children. 1t will soon know who its
best friends are. and express its mind
often by coming to them and fondling
about them. A horse will always shun
and try to keep away from q person
that has abused him. He can be quieted
more easily, when scared and excited,
by friend holding him by the bride
and talking kindly to. him. Hold his
face close to yours Odd fondle and pat
him on the face and cali him by name.
A horse can be kept fat easier than
he can be kept poor. Get him in good
condition, and feed and water him
regularly, and take proper care of him,
and he won't eat as much as a poor
horse will. A horse that has been
properly kept will live ten or fifteen
wears longer than one who has been

We have horse thar is twenty-four
years old and he never was sick an
hour in his life and has been doing
light work all spring and summer. We
drove him to town few days since
and left him an hour or more. When
came in sight, two squares, off, he
whinnied. When l got in the buggy
and turned his head toward home he
capered off just as he did when he was
four years old. Horses are very much
attached to their homes. They have
been known to travel forty and fifty
miles alone to get back to their old
homes, and swim river if it is in the
way. 81
Horses should always be taken care Of

ROTATION OF CHOPS.
A Profitable System Which Should Be In
augurated in Fall.

A Profitable system Which should BE In
augurated In Fall.
The arguments in favor of such a
system are numerous and unanswera-
BILE. 1t needs only little thought on
the part of the farmer to convince him
of the correctness Of the theory, but it
takes more determination to put it into
practice. Everybody knows better
than they usually do, and so it
is with the farmer; he knows that to
grow one crop continuously on the
same land will exhaust it, but having
got into certain line of farming it is
hard for him to change. And he does
not, usually, until forced to by the
failure of the land to longer bear the
crops he has been accustomed to grow.
1t is usually more satisfactory to an
ticipate the inevitable and do what
must be done some time before that
time actually comes.
The rotation best adapted to any one
farm will depend much on the farm,
the locality and the markets. The one
adopted by Prof. Sanborn on the
College Farm at Columbia. Mo-, will
probably suit as large number as any
that can be adopted. He begins, say
with timothy sod Manures and plows
in the fall for corn in the spring. The
corn is cut early and taken from the
land as soon as cured, the land plowed
and in the spring sowed to oats and
seeded with clover. The oats are
moved early for hay. thus giving the
clover chance to come on and make a
second crop for hay. The first crop Of
clover the next season is cut for hay
but if the land needs improving the
second crop is plowed under and wheat
sowed. If the land is in good heart it
can be cut for hay or saved for seed.
With the wheat is sowed timothy which
is allowed to remain two years blowing
, it up in the fall of the second year to
plant to corn again the next spring,
thus bringing US back to the beginning
of the rotation again. This is six
years rotation and in the six years one
gets seven crops, or il he saves the
second crop of clover he gets eight.
| The land is MANFRED every six years.
Under such management instead of the
land becoming exhausted twill become
| stronger and more fertile as has been
proven on the College Farm and thou.

A unique feature of the sights OF

thousand virgins. Ursula was royal
English maiden, daughter of one of the
little Kings of the heptarchy. who, not
liking the attentions of the son of one
of the other Kings, fled to the continent.
and even went to Rome, followed by an
ever-increasing crowd of good young
girls and by a few admiring cavaliers.
When they came hack to Cologne her
virgin followers had increased to eleven
thousand. Here occurred their martyr.

historians differ. Some assert that
they were slain during the persecution
of the Emperor Maximin. while q
scarcely visible pamphlet sold at high
price in the church states that they
were slaughtered by the hosts of Attila
returning from an unsuccessful raid
into France. st. Ursula died in the
midstexhortingth others to constancy.
The present church was built in the
eleventh century on the spot where
Ursula fell. The arrowhead which
pierced her chaste bosom is still shown
among the relics, and the gloomy old
edifice is filed with the bones of her
supposed companions. crammed into
ancient stone sarcophagi, or arranged
in queer patterns around the walls and
in the arches. Here il is all thigh

DEATH-BED VISIONS.
One OF the Most Pleasing Fancies Swept

Ono OF the Most Pleasing Fancies Swept
Away by Science.
1t is better to know the truth, DIR. T.
ID. Spencer has observed in reference
to the phenomena of death. than to
cherish a belief, however pleasing it
be, founded on error. The traditions
and superstitions of the past have led
to a popular belief in the theory that
the beatific visions which often come
to the dying are momentary views
of those mysteries hitherto unknown;
but science, with its iconoclastic hand,
has swept away the pleasing fancy, and
in its place has constructed fabric
founded on analogy. An@sthetics and
asphyxia from drowning or charcoal
fumes often produce disordered fancies
exactly like those preceding death, and
the natural inference is that they result
In both cases from one and the same
cause. During the last moments Of
life the mind gradually loses cognizance
of external surroundings and is rapt
in self-contemplation. Though still
in a semi-conscious condition, the
weeping of friends aud the voices
OF attendants fall upon dull ears.
The eye-lids are closed, the pupils
slightly contracted and rolled upward
and inward. The dying man has for
gotten the present, for he is living in
the past. One by one the events Of .
whole life appear. its joys and sorrOws
perchance long since forgotten, rise
before him in startling distinctness,
and then disappear in the swiftly NOV.
ing panorama. The familiar faces Of
the friends Of his youth are thrown upon
the mental retina, their CHEEKY voices
reverberate in his ears. and the thought
of meeting these friends in the near
future is perhaps his last conscious i'm
preston. As this drowsiness creeps
over the system. these images, nodded
from the past, become as realities to
the disordered Imagination. The germs
from which originate these strange
combinations have probably been lying
dormant for years in the registering
ganglia of the brain. "--drkansds Troo-

How Secondhand Shoes Are Made Over
and Sold In Large Cities.

How SECONDHAND Sh0og Are Made Over
and Sold In Large Cities.
In dingy and ill-ventilated cobbler's
shop, IN one Of the most densely popu-
lated streets of South Brooklyn, sits
from sunrise to sunset an old and dried
upshoemaker. He always appears to be
busy, but the boots and shoes which
are exhibited in showcase at the front
of the door have a worn and dilapidated
appearance. The shoemaker, who is a
character in his way, makes living
by repairing and selling second
hand shoes. There is not fortune in
the business, to be sure, but the aged cob
bier informed a reporter recently that by
working from sixteen to eighteen hours
a day he was able to support his wife
and little ones. The industry Of reno
waiting secondhand shoes is not a new
one. by any means. The idea origin
ated in London and is carried on large
ly in all European cities in the quarters
Of the poor.
Said the shoemaker: 'sYou would
be surprised to see the class of men
who purchase secondhand shoes. l
have among my customers an elderly
gentleman who comes here regularly
every three months and buys pair of
shoes for one dollar and fifty cents.
He is wealthy, but miser. Many
men whom | might name, and who
are well able to buy new shoes, prefer
second hand ones for economy's sake.
When . pair of shoes is cast off they
are worthless to the original pur-
chaser, and can be bought for song.
When business is dull l sometimes 60
out on a collecting tour, and in a
couple of hours will obtain enough
shoes and boots to keep me employed
for month. Boots are much more
valuable than shoes. because they con-
tain more leather, 1 find that they are
not worn much nowadays, and those
l occasionally come across are made Of
the finest leather
"What means are taken to burnish
up old shoesP" was asked.

are always good, whether the lowers
are worn or not. If the body of the
shoe is not in patchable condition l

Usually the upper part of the heel to
the curve of the foot remains in good
condition. Sometimes it becomes nec-
essary to entirely renovate old shoes,
so that when finished they are like new
ones, with this difference, that the
leather used is not so good as the orig
inal. Soles and heels always have to
be rebuilt and the toes capped. In all
these repairs the cheapest of sole
leather is used When finished the
shoes can be sold from seventy-fve
cents to one dollar and fifty cents. a
shoe must be of.the-finest leather and
