Ienvy those people who live con-
tinually in the superlatiye degree, as
it were. Those are the ones who al
ways seems to look on the bright side
of everything, and make the most of
all their advantages, however slight.
I have young friend, for instance,
who is not remarkably endowed with
this worlds goods, but what he has
he is deeply grateful for. You would
suppose, to hear him talk about his
belongings that he was in possession
of everything in the way of clothing
and personal comforts that heart
could desire. The little three by six
trunk In which he lives, he calls his
Saratoga" his well worn pepper and
salt sack coat his "Prince Albert"
his broken crowned hat is his Dun
lap" the cowhide shoes upon his feet
are his "patent leathers;" his CATS
eye pin he invariably compliments
with the appeliation of diamond, and
the little scantily furnished purse
which he carries in his trowers pocket
he alludes to as his "safety deposit
vault" Heis always talking this
way, and doubt not that he is quite
as happy as if all his things were in
reality what he grandiloquently
chooses to designate them.-Pionee,

They have O strange way In this little
place, I found, Of betrothing the girls to
the young men before the latter leave the
town. As very few Of them are able to
either read or write, long years pass by
without word from the lover or ''spoza"
reaching the patient girl at home. It Is
not O rare thing to meet here young cou-
pies who were engaged for ten, twelve or
even fifteen years before fortune was
sufficiently favorable to allow them to
marry. One cannot soon get rich on
thirty cents day, and that is the wages
of a man in Capri. This Is, perhaps, the
reason why SO many men leave the island,
leaving the women at home to take care
Of the vineyards and olive groves.
It is q very picturesque scene, these
women with their gay costumes, rich COM
plexions, bright, flashing eyes, at work in
the fields, or leading their focks Of goats
up the mountain side to pasture. Their
feet are always bare, and become SO hard
that it Is simply wonderful what they can
endure. They will walk over the roads
covered with sharp, finty stones, climb
the rugged mountain sides, and be quite
as comfortable as If walking on the soft
est carpet. In fact, for hardness, their
feet resemble those of the western girl,
who, when told by her mother that there
was red hot coal under her foot, drawled
out, without moving an inch, (Which
foot is it under, mammy2" Yet the feet
Of these women are by no means mis-
shapen, but, on the contrary, are perfect
models for an artist.-Woman.

The perfect horse is yet to be foaled
and We must take facts as they are
and not expect to find all good quail
ties In any one horse. In dealing
with stranger rely largely on your
own judgement, and endeavor not to
be naiaed BY any questionable state
ments he may make. See that the
horse stands squarely on its feet, and
that it does not toe out behind, or toe
in forward. Run your hand slowly
and carefully down the inside of each
leg; If there is bunch there you will
feel it. See that the feet are sound
and well spread. A dark hoof, If
sound, i always preferable to a
white orlstfeaked one. Look sharp
at the eye. -4Abright fulI eye denotes
spirit; a mild, pleasant eye, with a
brownish cast, indicates a pleasant,
affectionate disposition, while an eye
with good deal Of white. denotes
temper. There is perhaps no other
way to judge a horses disposition so
well as by careful study of his eyes,
and too much Importance cannot well
be attached to the necessity of good
disposition. Ineyery case, take a bill
OF the horse, written by the seller
himself, with the horse described
therein as sound or unsound. IF a
