JUDGING a HORSE.
Nine Rules Which Should Be Observed by
f,,l ISI.uo

Nine Rules Which Should Be Observed by
Careful Buyers.
|. Never take the sellers word. If
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 horses mouth as a
sure index of his age.
3. Never buy u horse while in mos
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 sprained,
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 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.
4. Never buy horse with blui sh
or milky coat in the eyes. They in
dictate a constitutional tendency to
ophthalmia, moon-blindness, etc.
5. Never have any thing to do with
a horse who keeps his ears thrown
backward. This is an invariable in
dication of bad temper.
6. If the horses hind legs are
SCARED, the fact denotes that he is a
kicker.
z. If the knees are blemished, the
morse is apt to stumble.
s. When the skin is rough and harsh,
and does not move easily and smoothly
to the touch, the horse is a heavy eater
and digestion is bad.
9. Avoid horse whose respiratory
organs are at all impaired. If the car
is placed to the heart and Wheeling
sound is heard, it is an indication of
srouble.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

ing Is Concerned.

1t Is Well Developed as Far as Housekeep-
ing Is Concerned.
''And isn't my dear little girl afraid
to become the wife of poor man?''
asked Harry St. Clair of Mabel Mageon
the other night, after they had gone
through the bliss of betrothal.
'.Afraid?-Oh, Harry!' she said, re-
proachfully.
''But, remember, darling, that can
not keep servants for you, and that we
will have to live in a very plain and
simple way for the first few years.
''As though | cared for that" she
replied, with the ring of true love and
true womanhood in her tone. "Why,
my dear old boy, you don't know what
q famous housekeeper am, and if
you think I don't know how to cook,
you are greatly mistaken.
SNOW" she went on, gleefully,
.let me tell you what I can do: I can
dust beautifully, and I know how to
make the lovetest dust-rag holders;
and / can make-oh, the INCEST cream
tarts, and the most beautiful angel
cake! Know about housekeeping!
Afraid to become the wife of poor
man! You foolish old boyr'
And Harry thought the matter over
carefully on his way home, and didn't
know but that he had made fool of
himself, after all.-IIme.

THINK OF OTHERS.
Learn to Prefer Others to Yourself in the
Little Things of Life.


Little Things of Life.
Many good people who inveigh
against the world are, in an uncon-
scious way, quite as culpable as their
neighbors. The truth is that people
in general are so wrapped up in them
selves that they do not even think of
the inconvenience or annoyance they
may be causing to others by their
thougthless rudeness. The true gen.
tlemen and ladies are those who have
acquired the unconscious habit of pre-
ferring, in the thousand little things
that make up social life, others to
themselves. Let this principle be ap-
piled to a few very common offenses
against good manners.
Some people habitually go to church
late, or leave concert-room before
the programme is completed, and
while some one is actually playing or
singing. They discompose not only the
minister or the artists, but every one
in their immediate neighborhood.
Why do they do thisP 1t is simply an
exhibition of unconscious selfshness.
They do not think it worth while to
hurry themselves in order to reach
church a few minutes earlier, and in
order to save themselves little incon-
venience in leaving with the rest of the
audience, they depart few minutes
sooner. This is all that enters their
heads; not for one moment do they
consider that the little trouble they
save themselves is hundred times
counterbalanced by the annoyance
which they are causing. They
do not think, because they are not in
the habit of thinking, except OF their
own interest But the very essence OF
the courtesy that characterizes the
true lady OR gentleman is this habit of
thinking. The reason why so many
people slam doors, Or leave them open;
why gentlemen puff tobacco smoke
into the faces of ladies they are accom-
panying, or whom they may be pass
ing; why people in church do not
check the chorus of coughing that
breaks out Immediately the sermon
commences, and a hundred other
familiar instances, is precisely the
same unconscious selfishness. Thought
lessness, where the feelings or the con-
venience of others are concerned, is
selfshness, and selishness is the con-
genial soil of bad manners Farm, and
Firestde.

DueIing in Italy.

!, : Dueling is more common In Italy
chan in France. but casualties are very
aiare. The revolvns is not popular.
sDr the duel Italipl is use the sword.
This weapon is fond to test courage
quite as well as the f,pistol, and to sat
Ifsfy honor with lest or less frequent,
eDfoodshed. Still tn government is
determined to put dfwn dueling, and
the new penal code d. ais with the SUBJ
sect very fully andy very sensibly.
There is still in Italy kind of code of
honor, and tffss-;s to some extent legal
lied. The offensesss always punisha-
BILE, but duel conducts nogainst the
laws OF dueling is more shathe- deals
with. Fine and exile are the pafEN sh-
ments, and the degrees Of guilt Ia
carefully and nicely apportioned. Tk
Issue of challenge lays the offendes
open to a heavy fine; a mere encountea
to SO much more where it ends in a
wound; much more when the wouIn
happens to be dangerous; where theHe
is fatality the survivor is not treated
as q murderer. The provision from
which most is hoped is certainly the
most curious Any Italian who re-
proaches fellow-countryman with not
lighting after he has received chal-
@lenge Is to be heavily fined. The gov
ernment recognizes that most duels are
fought less from resentment than from
vanity or fear of the loss of public
esteem. London Daily Neaos.

A Successful English Scheme.

A Home of Rest for Horses is
successful 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 a 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 plentl-
full meals, an extensive stable-yard for
winter exercise, and splendid grass
run is at their disposal, and If any
thing ais the ancient almoners the
veterinary surgeon of the society
cones with his skill to their aid.
