Stumbling Horses.

The Pittsburgh Stockman. in recent
issue. says; Some good horses are
addicted to stumbling while walking or
moving in a slow trot. A well-versed
veterinarian states that there are two
causes that would tend TO produce this
faulty action; one, general weakness
III the muscular system, such rs would
be noticed in tired horse: the other, q
weakness of the exterior muscles of the
leg. brought about by carrying too
much weight on the toe. To effect a
cure, he adds, tighten the weight of
each front shoe ABOUT four ounces; have
The toe Of the shoe made Of steel instead
of iron, it will wear longer; have it
rounded off about the same as 1t would
be when one-thrd worn out, in or
der to prevent tripping; allow one
weeks rest; have the legs showered for
q few minutes vt time with cold water
through hose. in order to create a
spray; then rub dry. briskly, from the
chest down 10 the foot. Give walking
exercise daily during this week for
about An hour twice a day. When you
commence driving again omit the slow
jog, either walk or send him along at q
sharp trot for mile or two. then walk
away, but do not speed for at least sew
eral wee =. BY this means the habit OF
stumbling from either Of the above
causes will be pretty well overcome

Ida Lewis Home.

Within short mile Of the quay at
Newport. Lyme Rock rises out of the
waters Of Narragansctt Bay. On this
rock stands the old lighthouse which
was tended for many years by the fath-
er OF Ida Lewis, and Of which she now,
under the seal of the Government
Commission. is keeper. Securing the
services of the Captain Of diminutive
boat sailed on the waters blue to her
abode for the purpose of paying her my
respects. AS we approached the rock
an immense mastiff, with head and
paws like lion and roar like far-oH
thunder, came to its extreme verge and
disputed our landing. He was entirely
successful until the heroine appeared,
called him off in the lowest Of tones,
and locked him up in an outhouse. She
then invited me into the little house on
the top of which rests the beacon-light
which has for so many years warned
the navigator Of hidden dangers, and
at once entered into easy and unrestrict-
ed conversation. She said that she had
for twenty-five years lived on that rock;
that she used to be fond Of going into
the city once in awhile, but that she
cared very little for it now; that she
always had great many visitors in the
summer, few years ago the number
reaching thousands in one season. She
showed me her medals, received from
Congress, the State of Massachusetts.
and the city of Newport, and a solid
silver teapot from the officers at Fort
Adams, all bearing suitable Inscriptions
in testimonial of her heroism in res
cuing so many human beings from wa
terry graves.
Miss Lewis is rather above medium
height, of somewhat slender figure,
good features and great, earnest eyes,
between brown and gray. While she
can not be called handsome her face
is one to interest and attract. Her
style of conversation is pis uant and VI
vacious, and although not educated she
is very intelligent. Everything about
her apartments bore the evidence OF
neatness, care and good taste. Her
mother, a venerable o.d lady, with thick
silver hair, was very talkative and dis
coursed on matters and things, per-
sonal and otherwise, at length. She in
formed me she had the rheumatism in
her feet, and Ida insisted that it was
because she had dyed her hair for SO
many years. She communicated the
intelligence that her daughter was forty
years old, at which Miss Ida evinced q
slight tinge Of annoyance and remarked:
Mother thinks she must tell every
one my age But she quickly added:
"Welf, / don care; it don't make any
ference. | don't object to getting
old. ."--NeCpo1S Letter.

How the scheme for the Bartholdi
Statue Originated.

1t is not generally known how the
schme for colossal Statue of Liberty
originated. II was about fifteen years
ago when M. Bartholdi came to this
country for the first time, bringing let
ters with him from Edouard Laboul-
ave and other good friends of union be-
tween France and America. One of
the persons to whom nj. Bartholdi went
upon his arrival here was Miss Booth,
well known as a translator OF books by
Laboulaye, rs one of the first historians
of our city, and rs the editor of Harp
er's Bazdr. NJ Bartholdi presented to
Miss Booth his colossal statue, which
might stand permanently as a mark Of
French brotherhood with the United
States. He said, moreover, that, as he
was sailing up the bay, he observed
Bedloe's Island. which seemed to him
the right place for such statue. Mr..
Bartholdi's scheme which came, of
course, to the knowledge OF many per-
sons-was discussed Industrious
", and the upshot was that
the sculptor returned to his
country with certain definite inten-
tions. At that time Bartholdi had

artist of singular promise. He had also
accomplished more labor on q very large

Prussia. which put stop to his under
taking. 1t was after the war, when the
French Republic WAS firmly established,
that the sculptor took up his scheme
again and gave publicity to it. lie
asked the Fren h people to subscribe
for the statue. The French people sub
scribed readily, one might almost say
son BY sou. Then NJ. Bartholdi turned
his sight TO our own country, and asked
us to subscribe for a pedestal on which
the statue could be placed. That was
several years ago. We have not Yet
subscribed the amount which Is needed
for the pedestal. - Cor. Pittsburgh Tele-

What a variety of mince pies Is doubtless
being manufactured for the season, from that
of CfCesus with its beard OF the richest fruit
enriched with the Oldest brandy and the
purest wines, and put to bake between the
hAkiest paste a professional cook can com
pound, to that of less favored mortals with
its paucity OF fruit and that not Of the
juciest its flavor of cider, its bready paste
OF course they must both have the same toun-
dati0n, but there IL naturally difference be-
tween delicate tongue, OF which the best pies
are composed, and the leanest and cheapest
of beef, which many believe good enough.
Sill as everything has its compensation,
doubtless CIusus does not eat his pie with
half the relish of the poor man as his daily
table is hsaped with the best OF the land, and
other Z1nes are Tansack cd 10 invite his pal
ale, a mlnce pie more or less means little or
nothing to hun 1t marks no epoch for him,
and his only concern with Ii is that il doesn't
taste like his mothers mince pie and he
vaguely wonders If fruits and liquors, spices
and cooks, have degenerated, or If the fault
Is in himself
So general has the reign OF the mInce pie
become that it would not seem possible with
many, 20 get through the year without 1t /;
its omission would be disCTedlt to the sea
SOD, and perhaps bring i'll luck for the next
year. No matter though Indigestion AID
nightmare follow in its wake, the mince pie
in most well -to-do families is yearly iusti-
tuition, which they would no sooner abolish
than they would abolish the franchise or the
sewing circle.
But what climes have not been searched TO
fill the pie? Here are raisins that perhaps
drank in sweetness as they dried in the sun
shine OF some old Spanish vineyard here
are currants, or corinths, as they were once
called, which have ripened in the generous
atmosphere OF Greece here is citron, de-
scended, perhaps, from the gardens OF the
Hesperides. When we come to LOOK into it
the PIE is as full OF poetry as OF plums. Here
are Glove blossoms from the most precious of
the myrtle family, together with the fragrant
cinnamon, which have Travelled from the Nc
luccas 10 add spice TO our favorite. What
perilOus Journeys have been taken, what en-
counters with water-spouts, sea serpents and
pirates, with head Winds and suuken reefs,
in order to bring them all to cur doors 1t
is no wonder that aH the sweets OF the primi-
tive pie were supposed merely TO represent
the gold and gems aud spice which the wise
men bore to Bethlehem, following the star In
the East.
