HANDLING HORSES.
The Frequent Runawavs Are Largely
Due rs had Treatment.

The Frequent Runawavs Are Largely
Due rs had Treatment.
ii is very easy to ruin Young horse.
An even, equable temper in the trainer
Is essential, as the horse notes the con-
trary quickly and becomes afraid. A
writer in one of our English exchanges,
in referring to the handling of horses;
says:
Abuse may make horse, that is nat
urally courageous, cowardly. If then
he receives blows, the fear of them is
uppermost, and any unknown noise is
imagined to be coming hurt. to es-
cape from which is an uncomfortable
impulse. The man who abuses his
horse is often rewarded by the destruc-
tion Of property and injury to himself,
the results OF runaways. But, when
the courage of the colt is developed,
i, is not nearly SO likely tn run away.
though he be hampered With blinds or
abused by a cruel master, and it is
hardly too much to assert that if prop
erly treated he will never run away.
Too often the training of a colt has an
effect contrary to the cultivation OF
its courage. Forgetting that temper
is the most valuable quality OF the
horse, its owner tries to "break" the
temperate cove the animal.
The horse should be trained-nct
broken; the training requires tirniness,
mixed with much kindness. The man
- -, -. oov+r,l oven b;a o,vn ta,,,
per. and whose judgment is warped by
ange., is not fit TO train ! colt. As
abuse will make it cOwardly, so kind
ness will make it courageous. The
basis of courage is confidence, and the
! first point is to secure the confidence
of the colt. The next is tO make the
colt sure of his surroundings; watch
closely. aud whenever he shows fear of
any thing. let him smell it. If he has
| confidence in his trainer, this will not be
difficult. II he SHES at stump or
rock, ride or drive him up to it. Drive
him nearer and nearer the cars until
he is no longer afraid of them. Have
the whistle sounded when his head is
turned toward it, and repeat this till
he ceases TO start at the sound. Handle
his limbs and touch them with q strap
till he no longer shrinks.
The courageous horse, the one with
the spirit trained, not broken. is the
horse that does the most work. Ii does
not lag; to drive it is a pleasure. II
does not give up and leave you mired
in mud hole; it has the spirit the
courage. to exert itself to the utmost.
Among horses. it is the one with the
trained spirit, fine temper, that does
the most work. the least harm. and in
danger acts quickly and intelligently.
What horse has more courage than the
Arabian. and what horse is more do
Gle, more enduring or admirable?

The Health of Young Wives.

health that | wonder young wives do
not consider it more. Let YOU physical

your daily walk. Have plenty Of sun
shine admitted into your house. Spend
as much time as possible in the open

rising is healthful, yet if you feel that
you can not get up at the regular hour
do not do so. Nature never mistakes.
and If she demands another hour OF
slumber, you will be the gamer by
yielding Have your mea > al proper

his shop beyond the regular dinner
hour. let no sentimental consideration
induce you 70 wait for him beyond

Russia's Ablest General.

The differences between the Car
and Prince Alexander of Oldenburg
are OF the most serious character.
Prince Alexander. who is a near cousin
Of His Majesty. and who has for sew
eral years commanded the imperial
Guard. is far and away the ablest
tactician in the Russian service. and,
indeed, he is their only really good
General. The Gar lately decided
that in the event OF war the Russian
army must be divided into three di.
visions, OF which by far the largest is
intended to march against Germany;
and, needless TO add, Prince Alexander
Of Oldenburg was nominated 10 COM
mand the corps which was intended to
fight the most formidable opponent.
To the indescribable amazement and
CONSERVATION of the Gar, Prince
Alexander bluntly refused TO fight
against Germany; and, after fort
night of expostulations, rcpToaches
and entreatieS. he was given leave of
absence from his military duties for n
year. Prince Alexander's resolution
not to oppose Germany is reasonable
enough, for he is the ultimate heir of
the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, and
his son appears certain to become the
head OF that wealthy family.-N. Y

ANOTHER sNocH ARDEN.
Veteran OF the War Returns 80 Find His
wife Married.


A strange story comes from New
Castle, Pa Twenty-eight years ago
Alfred Waite enlisted in the Union
army at Pittsburgh At the close of
he war he did not return home. and
was supposed to be dead until few
lays ago, when he made his appear
ance before his astonished relatives in
New Castle and found himself forgot
ten. some OF his children dead, others
grown to manhood. and his wife mar
ried again.
The story is a strange one. When
The war broke out Mr.. Waite lived with
his wife and four children in Allegheny
City. After a few months service he
obtained a furlough. during which
time he removed his family to New
Castle, and Immediately returned 30
his regiment That was the last his
wife saw OF him. and during the latter
part OF the war. when his letters
ceased. he was supposed to have been
killed. This supposition was almost
verified when the boys of his
regiment came marching home and
brought no word OF their comrade.
Mrs Waite married a man named
Harper Emery, of New Castle. Chill
dren were born to the couple, but the
relation between husband AMI wife were
not pleasant, and they parted twelve
years ago A few days ago we'll
preserved man of fifty-nine years ar
rived in New Castle, and with little
difficulty succeeded in finding his way
to the house OF Mrs. Martha Waite,
who is the mother of the stranger, and
the relations OF mother and son were
soon re-established. From his mother
Mr.. Waite learned Of the change in his
! family affairs and Of the exceedingly
unpleasant situation. His son Henry
| lives in the Wes;side, and Alfred re-
sides in Youngstown. His wife, with
the Emery children, resides on Sciota
street.
At the close OF the war Waite. in
company with a number OF comrades,
joined the regular army, in which he
served about thirteen years. lie then
went to rairoading, and has been en-
| gagged in this work ever since. lie gives
no satisfactory reason for not writing
home. only saying that for large por-
ton OF the time he was beyond the
bounds of civilization. and as the years
passed he concluded that he was for
| gotten. and that no one would care tC
hear from him. He Is now living with
his mother on Pine street, New Castle.
What the outcome OF the strange com
plication will be is hard TO determine
