The rapid and wonderful develop
ments in scientific research are almost
bewildering. A device has been invented
by which electricity is made to record
the weights indicated upon scales and

parentage, born at sea, while his parents
were coming to this country from Ire

THE BARBECUE.

A Tfme-Honored Southern Custom Which
Has Fallen Into Disuse.
According to Webster, the name bar.
becue is taken from the Indians of Gut
ana. in whose language it is frame on
which all kinds of flesh and fish were
roasted or smoke-dried. The definition
is ga hog, OK or other large animal
roasted whole;" second, "a large social
entertainment, usually in the open air,
at which animals are roasted whole, and
other provisions of all kinds are con-
sumed.'
Probably the nearest approach to the
barbecue in other countries was a csSs-
tom which obtained in Germany during
the Middle Ages, at the browning of the
Emperor, when an OK was roasted whole.
However it originated in this country it
has been favorite means of entertain
ment for the great crowds who have
been brought together for various pur.
poses in Georgia in the years gone by.
In the antebellum days, when Wings
and Democrats met each other on the
hustings, it was customary for the
friends of the two cane dates to combine
and provide for barbecue. Then invi-
tations were sent out to the yeomanry,
and they would come. The joint dis
cussion would take place in the fore
noon, and after the discussion came
dinner. Somehow this time-honored
custom has fallen into disuse, and the
barbecue was relegated to male picnics

Interesting Memoirs.

Baron Haussmann, who, as Prefect
of the Seine, ruled Paris during the
eighteen years of Napoleon IH's reign
in the most autocratic fashion, is atput
to publish his autobiography with .
view of explaining many things con-
nected with his career which he deems
require an explanation. The Baron re-
lates that the married life of Napoleon
and Eugene was far from being hap
py one, and that he was frequently
present when there were dreadful quar-
rels between them. Asked whA part
he took under the circumstances, he re-
Piled: ''Oh. carefully avoided mixing
myself up in any way in the matter and
generally succeeded in creating a diver
sion by relating some new SC. ndal "
Owing to the great intimacy of Bason
Haussmann with both the late Emperor
and Empress. his memoirs are looked
forward to with unusual interest DE.

Pay as You Go.

There are many good men, with
strictly honest intentions, who allow
themselves to practice a certain species
of selfish injustice, SO pernicious in its
effects. that the injury they inflic' upon
society at large-but more especially
upon their employees almost incalcu-
liable. We refer to men who are dila-
tory in paying their just debts-men
who do not ''pay as they go''-men, in
short. who, for the sake of avoiding q
little Inconvenience to themselves, or
making little interest on their money,
do not hesitate to infict upon their un-
happy victims an amount of misery,
from the idea of which they would re-
coil with shame did they but pause to
estimate it's enorm;ty. 1t is great ag.
gravation of this offense that the suffer-
ers from it are usually the most needy
and the most Woodworking members Of
the community. The dilatory paymast-
ers to whom we refer would do well to

MANAGEMENT OF BULLS.


Vicious Animals 1ade So by the Brutality
Of Their Attendants.
The idea that every bull is incorrigibly
vicious. is not warranted by the facts.
Kindness aud firmness are as necessary
n the management Of bulls - in the
case Of any other animals. A writer
says: In something like thirty years
experience of . short-horn herd, in
which bulls were reared for sale, and
into which sires were drafted from Va
rious herds, have never known o vi.
cious bull, if l except the following case,
which goes to prove the truth of my
contention. One young bull was what
{ calleu a lively one. playful and simply
needed that you kept your eye upon
him when loose, or in his gambols he
might have upset you. Once, when he
was chatting at his strap, owing to flies,
q visitor, friend of the owner, struck
him several blows with his stick, re-
marking that he needed correction.
Had the bull been loose, the correction
would have been reversed. for so long
as the bull remained in the herd, when
ever he heard the voice or the footsteps
of the man who had struck him, he
made desperate effort to release him
self. In proof that his rage was re-
served for this one man. may mention
that one night a noise was heard in
the farm-yard. One of the men went
down, and found the bull
loose in the yard. He walked up to it,
took it by the nose-ring, and led it as
quietly as lamb back to its stall. In
this herd the animals we're always
kindly but firmly treated. and kept in
constant contact with human beings;
up to a year old they were let out daily
in the yard for exercise. Before being
sold ring was put in their nose, and
they were bound up in stall by a
leather strap round the neck, and af-
fixed to head stake, with a movable
ring to the latter, regularly led out for
exercise, and kept in touch with the
human attendants. Whenever hear
of vicious bull, l come to the conclu-
sion that he has been badly trained in
youth. Whenever hear of bull at
tacking human being, lam convinced
that he is but repaying previous brutal
treatment. When a COW kicks on being
MIXED, she is either suffering from sore
teats, or has Deen abused. Whenever
a COW holds her milk, it is a sign that
her attendant has ill-used her. When
ever see kicking. unmanageable or
stupid horse, depend upon it that he
has been in the hands of an incompe-
tent breeder or trainer, or both. Either
he has been unskillfully treated as a
foal. or badly broken.-Sc0ttish Agri-
cultural Gazette.

WATERING HORSES.
An Important Duty. and How 1t Shou
He Performed.

An Important Duty, and How 1t Should
He Performed.
Do you expect your horse. like a
camel. to lay in supply of water to
last it across the desert of an entire day?
Do you even expect it to go half day
without drinking, and all this time draw
the pillow or drag, in the blaze of a burn
ing sun? If so. you are all wrong. The
stomach of the horse, compared with the
size of the animal, is no larger than that
of man. The horse perspires. as man
does, and as . natural result it gets
thirsty the same. When You feel the
need of drink because Of heat and the
loss of moisture by perspiration, think
of your horse. which very likely is suf-
fering the same rs you are. II not
given sufficient drink. it will take in an
enormous and injurious quantity Of
water when it gets chance, drinking
until its sides are extended and it is al
most ready to split. 1t then is really in
no fit condition for any thing until some
of this water gets into the circulation,
cooling and refreshing the fevered
atoms of life, and the balance is
thrown off through the appropriate
organs. Then your horse is back again
to the normal condition of health
and activity. and no longer feels logy
and lazy, as if the whole system were
ready to fall apart. With the stomach
and intestines full of water, the horse
is not even in a condition tc eat. The
wash of so much water must both dilute
and carry away through the intestines
the gastric juices designed for use in the
digestive process. Then give your horse
frequent opportunities to drink. A few
swallows as you put it up at noon or
night in the stable will do it good and
help digestion, but gorging with water
should be avoided. As with water, so
with food, the small stomach of the horse
requiring comparatively concentrated
food and at frequent intervals. When
you are at work or riding on the road.
and feel your own stomach calling for
food, you may know your horse feels
the same need, as he is doing more ex-
haustive work than you are, especially
if you are riding. Working on an empty
stomach is drawing on the constitutional
resources Of the body. Such a drain
should be avoided as much as possible.
Remember, the animal nature of the
horse is very much like that of the man;
for this reason, the horse requires food
and drink with the same frequency and
regularity that man dOes.-Nati0nGt

NEW YORK FASHIONS.

the Very Select styles IN Elegant LxeC
4oas and Straw Bonnets.
The new lace boas are both useful
and ornamental, and black and cream
lace are alike Useful in their manufac.
ture. The lace is arranged in SUCH a
way that it forms a roulcau correspond
ing in size and shape to the fur boa.
Most of these are about two and a hall
yards in length, and are tied with rib
bons a few inches below the chin.
Ready-made, these novelties are expen-
sive, but lady of taste can easily con-
those sold in the shops. Very expensive
lace tor their make is to be eschewed,
because, when soiled, the boa must be
discarded. They are charming adjuncts
to summer toilets, and give finish to
any pretty summer dress worn out of
doors. Moreover, the boa will be a
protection for the throat when driving,
coming out of church. or on any occa-
siou where one feels the need of slight
extra clothing.
Small dark straw princess bonnets.
with the brims edged with putting of
velvet, and a high coronet above, of
hawthorn blossoms, lilacs. hedge roses,
clover heads, snowballs, Jac0ue buds
and other fine French flowers, are fav-
orite head coverings, with tailor-made
costumes of dOve-gray albatross, mauve
cashmere, silk-dotted veilings and the
like. These are charming. The many
light-wOol fabrics for the tailor-made
dresses are uncommonly elegant this
season, and if artistically cut, which is
q sine qua non. they are the perfection
Of summer wear. Emphasis must be
given by repetition to what has before
been said, that there is no street gown
in which a woman looks better dressed
than a costume of this description, when
perfectly fitted, adding grace to round
ed form and roundncss to slender one,
as many lressy additions have been
made to these bodices of these gowns,
adorned to prove becoming to all fig
ures.
1t is now quite the fashion to make
up semi-transparent muslins over light
foundations of batiste or satten. These
look very dressy. more especially if a
few knots of colored rib on are added.
and If the hat be trimmed with flowers
to correspond. Dark blue and golden
brown rough-and-ready straw hats arc
generally worn with such gowns. Pink
and pale lilac India muslins are ex-
hibited with tiny flowers scattered over
their surfaces, which are to be made up
over foundations of plain pink or
mauvc. Black velvet ribbon is more
used upon dresses of this sort than the
quantities of lace that loaded them last
year.-N. Y. EUcnimg Post.
