Dueling in Italy.

Dueling is more common in Italy
than in France, but casualties are very
rare. The revolver is not popular.
For the duel Italians use the sword.
This weapon is found to test courage
quite as we'll as the pistol, and to sat
isfy honor with less, or less frequent.
bloodshed. Still the government is
determined to put down dueling, and
the new penal code deals with the sub.
ject very fully and very sensibly.
There is still in Italy kind of code OF
honor, and this is to some extent legal
lied. The otfense is always punisha-
BILE, but duel conducted against the
laws of dueling is more sharply dealt
with. Fine and exile are the punish
ments, and the degrees of guilt are
carefully and nicely apportioned. The
issue of u challenge lays the offender
open to a heavy fine; a mere encounter
to so much more where it ends in
wound; much more when the wound
happens to be dangerous; where there
is fatality the survivor is not treated
IS murderer. The provision from
which most is hoped is certainly the
most curious. Any italian who re-
proaches q fellow-countryman with not
fighting after he has received chal.
lenge is to be heavily fined. The gov.
eminent recognizes that most duels are
fought less from resentment than from
vanity or fear Of the loss of public
esteem. - London DAILY Neus. :

A Successful English Scheme.

A Home of Rest for Horses is a
euccessful English scheme. The chief
object is to give temporary rest to the
horses of cab.drivers and poor traders,
who in most cases are obliged to keep
their beasts at work until past help,
when g. timely holiday would restore
the poor creatures. Every comfort
and convenience is at hand to make life
pleasant and easy to the old horses.
Summer and winter boxes, large and
airy, warm clothes, regular and plenti-
full meals, an extensive stableryard for
winter exercise, and a splendid grass
run is at their disposal, and If any
thing ails the ancient almoners the

JUDGING A HORSE.

Nine Rules Which Should Be Observed by
Careful Buyers.
/. Never take the sellers word. II
disposed to be fair, he may have been
the dupe of another, and will deceive
you through representations which can
not be relied upon.
2. Never trust a horses mouth as q
sure index of his age.
8. Never buy a horse while In mo-
ton; watch him while he is standing
at rest, and you will discover his weak
points. If sound, he will stand firmly
and squarely on his limbs without
moving any of them, feet planted fiat
upon the ground, with legs plump and
naturally poised. If one is thrown
forward with the toe pointing
to the ground and the heel
raised, or if the foot is lifted from the
ground and the weight taken from
it disease of the navicular bone may
be suspected, or at least tenderness,
which is a precursor of disease. If
the foot is thrown out, the toe raised
and the heel brought down the horse
has suffered from lamnitis, founder or
the back sinews have been srrained,
and he is of little future value. When
the feet are all drawn together be-
meath the horse, if there has been no
disease, there is displacement of the
limb at least, and weak disposition of
the muscles. If the horse stands with
his feet spread apart or straddles with
his hind legs, there is a weakness Of
the loins and the kidneys are disor-
dered. When the knees are bent and
totter and tremble, the beast has been
ruined by heavy pulling, and never
will be right again, whatever rest and
treatment he may receive. Contracted
or Informed hoofs' speak for them
selves. d. -.
4. Never buy horse with Slut sh
or milky coat in the eyes. They in
dictate a constitutional tendency to
ophthalmia, blindness, ete.
8. Mover have any thing to do'wtth
q horse who. keeps his ears thrown
backward. This is an invariable in
dication of bad temper. @s:5 ~
| 6. If the horse's hind legs are
SCARED, the fact denotes that he is q
kicker. H. ~ Z. a. rn;.,s. ID 3. -. ~
! -. If the knees are blemished, the
horse is apt to stumble. :.s4H
8. When the skin Is rough and harsh,
and does not move easily and smoothly
to the touch, the horse ia q heavy eater
and digestion Is bad. 5. =t 2ss5i

organs are at all impaired. II the car

Sunshine in the Poultry Yard.

Sunshine is essential to successful
poultry culture. We should ever well
come it. No part of our premises
should be excluded from it. The glad
sunlight should find access to every
nook and corner of our poultry house.
It should play upon the inner walls
and flood the floor and roosting places.
The little chickens should not be de-
void of it, but every opportunity should
be given it to warm and purify their
quarters. In the outer yards and runs,
the sunshine displays it's virtues by
making fresh and sweet places that
would otherwise be sources of disease
and death to our pets. It dries the
polluted soil, and dispels noxious w.
pors. While dampness is to be dreaded,
;he sunshine comes as a messenger Of
health and happiness.
We need also to invoke the sunshine
Of our better natures in order to be a
successful poultry-breeder. In times
Of aggravation and disappointment we
should rally to our support the sunlight
If cheerfulness and hope. There are
times when it seems as if our ventures
will prove failures and our best efforts
come to naught. Misfortune follows
misfortune, and success seems to be
farther away than ever. But stay;
there is a silver lining, even to such a
dark cloud as this. Some of our
chickens have mysteriously disap-
peared, some have died and some are
small and inferior. But, on the other
nand, we have few choice specimens
that are thriving. Here is bright
spot. We have other eggs setting, and
80 can try it again. Here is
something pleasant to think of and to
hope for. Turn on the light. Let the
sunshine in. Remember that success
is never full and complete, and rejoice
that some progress has been made.
The sunshine of kindness is ever
needed in the poultry yard. We all
have some fowls that seem to be pos
sessed with the spirit of perversity
and contrariness. Failing to do as we
would have them-especially some
hens with broods-and> doing that
which we would not have them
do, such fowls are a source of worry
and annoyance, and are very likely ia
arouse more or less i'll temper. But
we should try to bear in mind the dis
tinction between a man and chicken.
and ever treat them kindly. 1t is the
only way to subdue or control them.
It frequently occurs also that we
need the sunshine of charity in our
poultry transactions, Charity of mind
and Of heart. Eggs that we pay 9
fancy price for sometimes hatch very
poorly, and we are disposed to con
denim the party from whom we got
them; charity of this kind should b<
tempered with justice. We would MOI
excuse fraud nor evil intentions; but
where the cause of a bad hatch is UNI
known, or the fault perhaps mutual
we should not be hasty to condemn
better to let in the sunshine and b.
charitable in our rehections.-H B

Advantages Of tho ThYee Systems Now n

advantages Of tho Three Systems Now IN
" General Use. i
There is practically very little differ
once in the three ways OF separating
cream, viz: setting the milk in shallow
pans; setting it in deep pals in tanks
OF cold water, or separating itiby the
'usetof the centrifuge. Each method
has Its advantages under special cir
cumstances; and when the special con-
,veniences prevail then each method ia
the best under those circumstances.
With careful management one lis as
good as another. For six years the
shallow setting and the deep-pail
method were practiced in my dairy,
and in all that time with hundreds OF
very careful experiments and compar-
tsons, I,could notdetect any difference
In the results las regards the quality
and quantity of the butter made; but
there was very great difference in
regard to convenience. In the use ,oi
the shallow pans a regular temper
ature must be maintained, and this re-
quires constant supervision, the use OF
ice in the summer and of heat in the
winter.
Where a running spring is :availa-
Bile and ice can be procured without
buying it too dearly, the deep setting
system is preferable. The milk il

water removes atmospheric impuri.
ties, and the milk is not exposed to
voluminous currents. The temperature
il easily regulated, and the labor OF
cleansing cans is greatly reduced.
One important advantage of deep set
ting is the sweet skimmed-1nilk which
is available for feeding calves or for
sale or use in making cheese. All
these items have to be considered on
either side in comparing the two
methods.
No doubt where sufficient number
Of COWS are kept to warrant the ex.
pense, centrifuge, to be operated by
hand or by horsepower, will be found
the most convenient and economical.
The labor is reduced to q minimum;
there is no washing of pans or deep
pals; the skinned milk is sweet and
fresh for any use, and the cream ie
fresh and can be subjected to the
ripening process to prepare it for
churning, in the most satisfactory
manner. This is matter of cost
against work. The machine will cost
three or four times as much as deep
setting apparatus, but much less
costly dairy building will be needed.
Considering, however, the cost of the

A Narrow Escane.

During a thunderstorm in Princeton q
few days ago the house of j. Hickman was,
struck by lightning. At the time Miss Ida
King, of Wyanett, was sitting in one of the
rooms of the house, holding kitten in her
lap, with which small child of Mr.. Hick-

the room, killed the kitten and rendered
Miss King and the child senseless. They
recovered, however, and would live to
wonder over their NARROW escape.
