The Rise and Fall of Fin Needle-work n
England.

England.
The religious houses had always been
famous for needle-work; even the monks
occasionally piled the needle. Clifford,
writing to Cromwell of the suppression
of q monastery at Woolsthorpe, Lin
colnshire, says: There is not one re.
ligious person there but what can and
doth use embrotheryng wryting bookes
with a fayre hand, making garments,
karvynge," etc. With the change in re-
ligion the embroiderer, like the illu-
minator, was starved out 1t is aston
ishing how soon the artdied out. Queen
Catharine had been a notable needle
woman, solaciag her loneliness by
practicing the art she had
learned from her mother, ..who al.
ways made her husbands shirts"
Mary, Spanish in all her tastes,
spent her weary vigils for Philip, who
never came, in working ..Spanish stitch,
black and gold" There is a good deal
of Elizabeth's handicraft still extant, but
the taste in her day was getting de!
PRAYED. Elizabcthan needle-work is
perfect in workmanship, but wholly
wanting in naturalness and beauty. In
the next reign even the workmanship
deteriorated. Nothing shows more
clearly how the good old English tradi-
tons had died out than the Mompesson
business. We used to be famous for
our gold thread. 1t was so much purer
than the Spanish or Italian, but when
Villiers. Duke of Buckingham, got the
monopoly and employed the Frenchmen
Mompesson and Michael to get his
thread made it was soon so s%candalously
debased as to corrode the workmen's
hands, and even the flesh of
the wearers. Tie Villiers~ Mompes-
son patent empowered the monopolists
to punish any one whom they found
making a better or cheaper article; for
they made the public pay exorbitantly
for this scandalous stuff. Thus it was
that, in James day, needlework degen-
Grated into simple crewel, a style popu-
lar since the old Assyrian times. And
here, where we might have been helped
by hints and patterns from India, we
were cut off by that foolish legislation
which even then was beginning to
destroy the Indian manufactures, in the
supposed interest of the British work
man.. The East India Company was
founded in Elizabeth's reign; and,
though at first other Indian manufac-
lures were admitted, the broiderers-
whom Elizabeth had just formed into a
company had sufficient influence to
keep out Indian embroidery from the
very tirst.-AU the Year Round.

The Ingenious Compromise Proposed to a
Minister by a Moneyless Groom.
IBoston Globe.l
The story about the Vermonter who pro-
posed to add half q dollar to the amount
which the claw allowed' the parson for
marrying him has brought to the historian
a brand-new story of another w~edding-fee
transaction in Vermont. 1t is from q glen

ways are primitive, and the people fire.
quently prefer to pay for their purchases
in kind. One day ayoung couple came to
the parson at the village to be married.
They hadn't a cent of money, and it had
been arranged that the bridegroom
should bring a specified quantity of bees
wax with which to pay the minister. The
parson was thrifty-they have to be thrifty
up that way-and took good care before he
performed the ceremony to weigh out the
beeswax and see whether there was enough
to pay his fee. There. wasn't.
Why haven't you brought all the bees
wax you agreed too" asked the minister.
"Al ! he'd, parson."
"And you haven't got any moreW
"Not another ounce"
"Have you got any money at ALI"
"Not a mite, p~arson."
There was a period of uncomfortable
silence, during which the young farmer
began to grow very much alarmed. He
was afraid the parson wouldn't marry him
unless he produced his uttermost ounce Of
beeswax, and the prospect struck terror to
his soul. The parson was inclined to let
him 'stew."
Look a here, parsonw said the coun-
tryman, finally, 81 tell we what redo; you
take the beeswax and marry us as fur as it
goes"

HORSES.
A Few Words About the Proper Way q
Training Colts.

A Few Words About the Proper Wa of
Training Colts.
This is the word commonly used
''breaking'' a horse. 1t is wrong.
Nothing needs to be broken, but every
thing to be guided. Teaching is much
more appropriate word to use than
"breaking." The education of the
horse is the important consideration,
and, as in the man, it should begin at
an early age, and be a gradual develop
ment, growing with the growth and
strengthening with the strength of the
horse. 1t is impossible to crowd every
thing into q horses brain in a few
hours or a few days. Cramming is no
better in educating the brute than in ed
ucating the man.
In the first place the horse must be
made to feel that you are its friend; that
it need fear no harm Or hurt in your
presence, so long as it in no way acts
v~iciously. All improper action should
be promptly and firmly restrained, but
no unnecessary harshness that will cause
extreme fright or fear should be re-
sorted to. In this, as in the case of the
child, it is more difficult to make it
understand what is wrong than how to
do many things that are right. But pa
tience, perseverance, and gentle pun
ishment for wrong-doing will in time
have their desired effect. When once
the horse knows what you want it to do.
and has learned to look upon you as its
friend and even protector, it win freely
obey your wishes, if you make them
manifest in a way that the horse UNDER
stands you.
There is a wide difference in the
disposition of horses, IS of men, and
some horses, like some beasts, are
practically untamable. They lack the
necessary intelligence oftentimes, but
have all the vicious propensities.
But more horses are spoiled by inn
proper handling and usage than are
naturally worthless because of lack of
intelligence and possessing a vicious
dispositions; and an intelligent horse
made vicious by ill-treatment is ever
worse than a stupid one. Patting or
petting a horse that does wrong is a
great mistake; and it is about as great
a mistake to fail to do this and make
the horse feel your approval when it
does right. Overlooking, or in any
way discouraging, is one of the worst
things that can possibly be done to a
young horse. If it fails to start the
load. and you punish it, who can say |
it does not feel that it is punished for |
making the effort? If you pet it, pos
sibly it may think it is an approval Of |
its failure. In either event, it is a bad
case, and should always be avoided in
handling q young horse, and especially |
a colt. Few old horses will pull with
all their might many times without res
fusing to try again. Mistakes in hand
ling make more balky and vicious horses
than all other causes put together. In
fact, they are almost the only cause
of these evils. -NationM Lice Stock
