Treatment OF q shying Horss.

Why does horse shyg Because he
sees something which he does not under
stand, and is filed with greater or less
degree Of fear, something as the boy feels
when he shys at the burying- ground and
goes around to keep clear Of 1t. Ii may
be some new or unusual object that the
horse sees, or it may be an imperfect
view of 1t. Even a familiar object, If IL
comes to view suddenly and unexpectedly
will cause horse to shy or jump, Just
as an unexpected object or sound causes
nervous person to start. When per-
son is SO startled, how much would It
improve the matter to be scolded at or
given a cut with whip? Just as much
as the same treatment would in the case
Of the horse. Harshness only aggrayates
the matter. The more the horse is
scolded and whipped the more nervous
he gets, and every time he passes the
place where the fright and Whipping oc-
CURED he will begin to prick uphis ears,
and fidget, ready for another jump.
Give him the lines and he will 20 by in a
hurry. The proper way is never to strike
or scold horse that is startled or fright
ened. Speak TO him coolly, calmly, and
kindly: give him time to see and collect
his scattered senses, and make him feel
that you are his friend and protector.
When he sees that all is right, there is
an end 10 all further trouble. We have
seen a horse refuse to cross an unsafe
looking bridge, but when the driver took
him by the bits and walked ahead, the
horse cautiously followed. Next time he
required no coaxing or urging to cross
the bridge. He might have been whipped
into it at first, but was not the milder
course, although little trouble, the bet
ter one: The horse showed his conf
dence in the driver ever afterward. Live

New Zealand's Edible Mud.

One Of these mud volcanoes-Te Huka-
spews forth a very plastic and fine paste,
which the natives eat and enjoy. 1t
tastes like flour paste very slightly sweet
ened. / did not like it at all, and
doubt if IL is fatlening. We were
quite hungry, but this edible mud did
not tempt us, and we moved on to the
margin of Lake Rotomahans, where
lunch was awaiting us. The Maoris had
cooked potatoes and fresh water crabfish
for us in the stream of the boiling spring,
covering the opening with cross sticks,
placing the potatoes, ETC., on these and
covering the whole with grass, which
sufficiently confines the steam. I sat
down on a fiat stone, and, enjoying my
lunch and the surroundings, gave myself
up to the quiet pleasure of the occasion,
when | felt an increasing warmth where
was sitting, and suddenly had to spring
from my seat, an unexpected burst Of
steam from under the rock giving me
the hint to leave.-New Zealand Letter.

Iott.....
The County Republican Committees Of the sew
eral counties win proceed 10 call County Conven-
tons in their respective counties and elect dele
gates and alternate delegates from each Of said
counties TO the Territorial Convention above
designated.
tits desired that SUFFICIENT notice Of such con.
ventions be given. The Territorial Republican
Committee respectfully recommends that the said
County Conventions be held early in September
but such date should be fixed therefore as, after
giving due notice to the Republicans Of the coun-
ties, will be most convenient.
II is presumed that the custom heretofore pre-
vaiing in the several counties Of the territory
whereby delegates to the Territorial convention
are elected from the respective counties by the
conventions which assemble 10 nominate county
officers will prevail during the present year.
To the end that all counties in the territory, re-
mote from or near 10 the place Of holding the Ter
riiorial Convention, shall have opportunity TO be
represented therein fairly and TO prevent any ex.
traneous interference with the deliberate desires
Of the Republicans Of each county, the following
rules have been prescribed by former conventions
for the government Of the Republican Territorial
Con ventions in the territory Of Montana:
1.-Deegates and alternate delegates shall be
cleo ted in the fuilre 10 Territorial Conventions.
and In the event Of the failure Of delegate TO at
tend the alternate delegate shall cast the vote OF
the delegate whose alternate he is.

"Coca" Not n New Remedy.

Notwithstanding the prominence at
tanned by coca, within a comparatively
recent time, it was in fact introduced
some years ago in France, where it has
rendered most valuable service in thera-
pautics. Professor Bouchardat considers
the coca as stimulant to the nervous
and muscular systems, and terms it'also
substance depargne, or that which
prevents the rapid waste of tissue, and
thus enables the consumer to go long
time without food. Tie leaf contains an
essential oil, which is of an aromatic
odor coupled with the flavor of the fresh
plant; and the slightly acid and bitter
taste of the leaf is attributed TO the pres
ence of taunin, and TO the alkaloid-
somewhat akin TO atropine-so well
known as cocaine" A pharmacist
named Balm was the first, or one Of the
first, 10 introduce it into medicine, years
ago, in France, in the form of elixir and
wine, useful in prolonged convalescence
and in great prostration of strength.

Seasons In southern California.

There are but two seasons, strictly
speaking. in southern California-spring
and summer. By residents spring is
called winter; but there is nothing in
that period, even family, suggestive of
winter in any other western or any east
ern state. To distinguish it from the
long dry summer, many call the period
between November and April the rainy
season. Although this characterization
is correct in a general way, yet the
amount of rain which falls in those five
or six months is never as great as that
of an ordinary spring and summer in
Illinois or any of the eastern states. In
the latter part of this period the foliage,
wild flowers and vegetables begin to
grow luxuriantly.
Winters are usually different from each
other, but summers are usually alike.
There are few more sunny days in one
summer than another, and occasionally
a summer may come in which slight
sprinkle of rain will fall. There is no
other difference between any one sum-
mer and any other one. In winter all is
uncertainty. There may be a large
amount of rain, in which case the farmer
is happy over the prospects of luxuriant
crops, or there may be little rain until
the end of the season, and just about the
time the farmers despair is the deepest,
long series Of showers may come.
which will quickly make him forget his
forebodings. Sometimes his spirits are
successfully raised and cast down and
raised again by rains in November and
December, drought in January and Feb
ruary and rain again in March and
April.-Theodore S. Van Dyke.

Patients of an Insane Asylum.

A half dozen queer people were sent to
the County Insane asylum at a single sit
ting of the Brooklyn, N. Y, city court.
One woman habitualiy piled her furni-
ture in heap, and as regularly thrashed
her landlord when he called for her rent.
Another believed that the doctors who
were attending her had been dead and
had returned from the grave. A third be-
ieved that she was being gradually re-
duced TO infantile weakness by "A course
of sophisticated food, while q fourth al
ways saw strange animals crawling over
her bed clothes when she lay down at
night. One male patient was in constant
dread OF rats, and in search of the pied
Piper for assistance, while another be-
lieved herself to be dead, and declined to
speak further than to insist that it was
all wrong TO expect n dead person to an.
swer questions or carry on a converse

The Democrats after two days con
sideration of the Republican ticket as
nominated at the late convention have
about made up their minds that they
have not got any walk away after all.
M stronger ticket could possibly have
been nominated. and to defeat it they
will use their best endeavors, but THE
JOURNAL predicts without success.
For the Office of treasurer they seem
to be ransacking the entire county,
but cannot decide upon a man who
can beat the Republican nominee.
Til Brandenbhrg, the present treas
urer, is being spoken Of. but as he has
performed all his work by a deputy,
his claims will receive but little atten-
ton from the voters at large, who will
prefer man who will personally at
tend 10 the duties of the Office. An
other man who is also spoken of is
Prof. Logan, but his chances of cleo
ton are not considered as amounting.
to much, owing to the inefficient man
ner In which he has filed the office
of county superintendent Of schools.
The sheriff question does not seem to
be much agitated, as every one con-
cludes that the Republican nominee
will.have walk away. The ticket rs

tire republican party have united upon

gan the practice of medicine he was
worried because people put so little con-
fidence in him. and now he was troubled
because they trusted his judgment so

LIST OF opuLENr JOURNALISTS
Newspaper Men Who Have GAINED More
Than a Modest Competence.

Mr. Junius Henri Browne. who seems
20 be somewhat sourCd with the world,
asks IL The Forum II anybody knows of
solitary journalist who has gained even
.he most modest competence in hi pro-
tession. Cnnundrums, as a general thing,
The Record does not care TO answer, but
this is one so likely to deceive young as
pirants for journalistic fame on the pros
poets before them, that we hasten to set
the matter right
Yes. there are some journalists who be-
come independent. There are great
many of them. For instance. in New
York there is Charles Nordoif, of The
Herald, who has grown rich on $1,000 a
year. There is "Joe" Howard, OF every
paper which Is willing to take any OF his
products, on $4,000 a year. There Is Ed
mund Hudson. the Washington CORE
spondent of The Boston Herald, who is
rich man while yet young. We could
name Mr.. william b. Shaw, Wash
tngton correspondent Of The Boston
Transcript, who, on a modest salary,
has accumulated a very handsome for
tune. And take Eugene Field, the funny
man OF The Chicago News. who lives in
great style aud spends money like water,
and Mr. Mexican, the editor of The Phila-
delphia Ledger one of the most thriving
gentlemen OF that prosperous city.
We might speak of Whitelaw Reid, who
has made his everlasting fortune in jour
nalism, and Charles A. Dana, with his
$50, 900 year salary. In fact the woods
are full of them; and coming nearer TO
Boston, there is our genial friend Col.
Taylor, of The Globe, and Police Commits
sioner Smart, late Of The Post, and Editor
Ernst, of The Beacon, and numerous 9th
ers who on their journalistic salaries have
laid the foundation of wealth.
Young friends, seeking a place on a
newspaper, do not be deferred by any
such yarns as this of j. ii. Brownies.
There is wealth in journalism. II may
not come right off, but sooner or later a
good journalist is bound to be rich-at
least in good constitution and con-
seriousness of upright deeds well per-
formed.-Boston Evening Record.
