Mephist0's Dilemma.

About fortnight ago there was
a genuine novelty enjoyed by the
audience at the Grand Opera at
Paris which was not down on the
bills. Faust" was the attraction,
and at the end Of the second act,
when Faust, Marguerite and Mephis-
TO came forward in response to a
call, the curtain presently fell on
Marguerite'S head, and slmultan'
eously shut out Mepkistc, and left
him in front of the footlights. He
tried to get off, but owing 20 the
private boxes on the stage, failed
to accomplish his design. Sudden
ly, as he got one leg over the roller
of the curtain, up it went again,
carrying him up with it about II
feet. Soon, however, 1t again dee
scended, and the poor devil escaped
into the orchestra. Then the drop
arose again, discovering the scene'
shlfters, chorus. &c, wildly look
ing up and down, above and be-
Low, for the missing Mephisto, and
evidently thinking he had been car
ried of by some fellow fiend. Mean
while, the audiences were cruelty
roaring with laughter, and it was a
long while before reverence was
restored.-Stdge.

you cannot get pasturage, feed
your horse fresh cut grass or clover

gentle work or exercise so as to

can substitute corn meal mixed
with cut hay for one or two rationS
daily using not oyer four quarts a
day.
Corn meal alone is not so safe "a

traced to injGdiciOus use of corn
meal; but horses fatten rapidly on
1t and 1t is cheaper than oats; to
make it a safe article of diet we
would advise mixing it with the
same bulk of wheat bran or feeding
in connection with oats and some
root, say, ono half peck of carrots
daily.

The Thistle for Scotland.

There 10 much obscurlty as to the
circumstances under which the this
tie was adopted as it's en- blem by
the Scottish nation, but the follow
ing is a tradition Queen Scotia
had led her troops in a well.iought
field, and when the day was won
retired to the rear to rest from her
tolls. She threw herself upon the
ground, when, as i'll luck would
have it, an envious thistle had
elected to grow at the very spot &c.
lected for her repOse. Whether the
fair Amazon fought in the national
costume | know not, but the spines
of the offending herb were sufii.
GENTLY powerful to penetrate the
skin in very painful manner. A
proyerbial philosopher mot ME-.
Upper, think had declared that
che that stitch on nettles riseth mp
quickly and the same remark
holds good of thlstles. Queen SEQ
tia sprang up and tore the thistle
up by the roots. She was about to
cast it from her with a military but
unladylike expression when it
struck her that the prickly plant
would henceforth be ever assoclat-
ed in her mind with the glorious
victory which she had just gained.
Her intention was changed. She
placed the thistle in the casque
and it became the badge Of her
dynasty.-Wdr Notes and Queries.

INDIA RUBBER HORSESHOES.

The proposed substitution OF In
dia rubber for metal in the manu-
facture of horseshoes IS based upon
various supposed advantages, one
Of these being that the former ena'
bles a horse to go easier over all
kinds of roads and rough or slip
perry ground without slipping. The
continuance brought forward for
this purpose is such as 10 oovlate
in one instance the necessity OF
useing an iron shoe, which can be
moved mOmeutarily when the horse
is shod with an iron shoe. Accord
Jug to the design the shoe consists
of an India rubber bottom piece
moulded to fit over or around the
frog of the hoof, with a ledge or
protecting rim rising up the front
and around the level where the
nails are clamped, the projection
having an edge under which a
steel hand or other appliance eau
be drawn and nipped tight to re-
tain the rubber shoe. The band Ia
connected 10y studs, which pass
through the heel part of the hoof,
this being cut away from the inner
side for the purpose, and the stud
or studs may work eccentrically to
obtain grip or fixing. II the rubber
shoe IS used with an iron shoe the
frog portion or pad has a front
plate and TWO side wings partially
imbedded in it to hold the rubber
shoe IN place. If the rubber shoe
be divided or made thin in the cen.
tire, swivel or other bar can be
contr acted from the rear to reduce
the width of the pad, so that it en-
ters easily and also expands so as
to fix the rubber shoes in position

WINTER CARE OF COLTS.

The FIRST fall aud winter Is a
critical period with colts. During
this time proper care, shelter, or
food. or insufficient water, or a
lack of exercise, may take a large
ner cent. from their value when
matured. A colt is easily stunted
or weakened, and it may even con-
tract disease on account Of bad
food on improper sanitary con-
ditions. Providing stables or sheds
in which colts can barely exist to
make them tough is both inhuman
and Improbable. Warm quarters
nos only save food, but aid healthy
growth, which should DO maintain
ed all winter. The stable should
be warm enough to allow the
manure to freeze only in the coolest
weather, and as in all buildings for
domestic animals, draughts OF air
should be guarded against. Colts
coming through IN spring tine
with long haT, prominent ribs and
projecting hips, and lousy, are a
DISGRACE TO their owners. They
are so reduced IN vitality, and the
basis for the next summers growth
so undermined, that they cannot
make nearly so much profit out OF
pastures as if well wintered.
Since form and quality of the
muscles, tendons, and frame are
equally as important as size, the
feeding Of colts is even OF more
importance than that OF calves for
beef, or pigs for pork. Corn alone
I has not enough muscle and bone
producing clements, and in the
hands of the ignorant feeder is
often very Improbable. No one
Grain food with hay answers the
purpose in point Of effectiveness,
combined with cost, so we'll as
oats. II they cannot be obtained
cheaply, a good ration can be made
up OF 100 parts by weight OF bran,
fifty of corn meal and fifty OF
ground liuseed in the cake, fed
with nice hay chopped in the feed
cutter. -Four to nine pounds OF
tho mixed grain food would be
given each colt per day in two to
three feeds. 1t should be mixed
with about It's weight of cut hay
before feeding. No definite amount
can be gwen, as, some colts will
require more and others less than
an average. In several days, or at
most a few weeks, an observing
feeder will know whether or not
the feed for each individual colt
should be increased. Colts, as
we'll as milch cows, will enjoy
water warmed to 20 degrees, aud
mixing IN other foods, for variety's
sake, Will give tone to the appetite
and condition to the animal.

Save the Wood Ashes.

Wood ashes have too great
value to be wasted. Every farm
er's family should make its own
supply. 1t is cheaper for the
farmer to make soap than to buy
it. When not utilized on the

ashes are leached ErFV are

clean wood ashes is given every
third day to horses in their feed
they will rarely need "cOndltion
pOwder.r The same amount
given to cattle will have good Ie-
suits. Cattle, also swine, are ire
quently seen licking ashes where
rubbish has been burned. The
ashes given to hogs may be mixed
with their salt. Ashes correct
acidity OF the stomach and destroy
some intestinal worms. Wood
ashes are a valuable fertilizer for
all crops, but especially for orchard
crops. They contain all the min
eral elements required by plants.
The fine condition and peculiar
proportion of their ingredients
make their real agricultural value
greater than the value computed
from chemical analyses. Coal
ashes are comparatively worthless,
but wood ashes should never be
thrown away.
