Value of Safe Well Trained Horses.

The value CT q gentle and safe
bcrse is difficult to estimate. Dol
lars and cents, says National Stock
man, do not always express it
Without any trouble in the way OF
upsets or runaways the true value
Of a sturdy and reliable horse is
often lost sight of. THIS matter
Pre- ents itself in its strongest light,
r APPS, when driving and car
ge horses Of a high order are
laced upon the market. Such
horses find the best buyers. people
who are willing to pay the most
money for them, Among the wealth
Ter classes of the citizens of our
great cities. These buyers are
generally obliged to trust the hand
ling of their teams to servants and
4 vers. and TO them safety means
= great deal, something that has
absolute market yalue.
People who are able to afford
the luxury of carriages and horses
are in a position to pay for what
suits them, and when they find
combined IN the same animal style,
size, action, endurance and a gentle
disposition they are generally will
ing to pay a good round sum for
it, the disposition playing no small
part in the makeup of the value
When a wealthy man has to trust
his own lite and the lives Of his
family behind a team which he
does not need to be ashamed Of as
far as spirit and mettle are con-
corned, with the reins in the hands
of some cOachman who he is not
positive is entirely trustworthy in
the way Of handling horses, it is
not to be wondered at that he
looks toward the disposition and
gentleness OF the horses when he
is estimating their value.
The moral then to be drawn
from all this is that thorough
training is the only kind that it
pays to give to good horses. There
are bat few horses that cannot be
made gentle and quiet by the
proper kind of treatment, and If the
owner Of horse is not capable of
giving this kind of training it will
pay to employ some one who is.

USEFUL ARTICLES.


Pretty lamp shades may be made
at trifing cost, by using tissue
paper arranged in fittings, and
trimmed with a large bunch OF
lovely paper flowers. This looks
very pretty over white glass
shade, as it shows the colors so
plainly through.
Hassocks as footstools, are con-
venient for many places; now let
me tell you how easily you can
make one; take seven tin fruit
cans, place one in the centre aud
the other six around it; draw
around this a strong piece of I'M
bleached muslin, and tack firmly to
keep them in place; set them on a
piece of brown paper, and with a
pencil mark around, and cut out ;
then paste the pattern on a board
wide enough, and saw out the
shape. Place the cans on and
drive a strong tack through the
bottom to make it substantial, Ill
each can tull of fne shaVings OF
pine, CT excelsior, pack the top
with many thicknesses Of cloth, or
pieces of old bedquilt, cut to cover
the outer edges of the cans, then
cut a strip of cretOnne wide
enough to allow for seam at top
and bottom; cut piece OF glazed
mbric to cover the board bottom
and tack down, sew the eretonne
to It; cut a piece tor the top, aud
sew the straight band on 1t. Cover
the seam with a wOrsted cord,
bring the cord from each scallop
down to the centre, and with a
needle and strong thread, faSten
and finish with a button. Put
little handles on each side; this is
convenient for using on a porch in
summer, or as a footstOOl before the
fire. Plush can take the place OF
cretOnne if a more expensive artl-
Gle is wanted, and may be worked
with tinsel in some pretty design.
To make a convenient receptacle
for clothing, use a small half
barrel, take three yards of dark
cretoune with bright figures on it,
and measure the length Of the
barrel. Allow an inch at top and
bottom for a heading; get round
headed tacks and tack on in large
scant box plaits, around the bottom
aud top. Cover the head of the
barrel with cretonne, aud line the
inside with calico. On the cover
of the barrel place a handle of
heavy leather with two screws,
and gild it, to lit it by. This is
nice to stand in a bedroom to hold
soiled clothing.-MrS. Hattie ID.

REMEDY FOR BURNS.
A PHYSICIAN TRIES PINUS CANA
DENSIS WITH DELIGHTFUL
RESULTS.

Many remedies at one time or
another have been proposed for
the surgical condition following
the application of excessive heat
to the body, and, while some OF
these are of value, still all are more
or less unsatisfactory. The allevla'
ton of the pam and suffering at
tendant upon burns is one of the
most important points in the case
towards which the surgeon directs
his efforts. The shock from this
cause alone is sufficient often times
TO prOdace death, and always 10
great. Accidently, recently dis
covered q remedy which is easily
applied and exceedingly prompt in
its action. l was called IN some
b ste to a little child, about three
weeks ago, who was badly burned
about the hands and face, from fall
ing on hot stove. The burns were
deep, the pain excessive, and the
shock very considerable. l sent to
the drug store for a mixture of
lime water, olive oil and carbOlic
acid. While waiting for this, l
prepared to give the child a hypo'
dermie injection of morphine, with
which to ally the agony, which was
so great that commissions seemed
imminent. While / was getting
ready to do this, | espied upon the
shelf a bottle eff pinus canadensis
(cOlorless.) Remembering its won
derful soothing influence in acute
indammatiOns, | at once concluded
to try it. Taking a corner Of a soft
handkerchief, rapidly painted the
injured parts, when, like magic,
the pain ceased. You can well
Imagine my surprise and delight at
the result. l directed a cameps
hair brush to be purchased, and
had the mother make free sppliea-
lions, and the case had no more
treatment, save a little iodOform
ointment later on. Since this l
have tired it IN several cases, both
slight and severe, with the same
delightful results.-N. Y. Medical
