MENTAL ALERTNESS.
Why 1t Is the Hardest Part of Any One
Business.

Buslness.
There are different ways of being
busy, and the busiest way of all is that
which often looks least like business.
tits sometimes derisively said that one
is "busy doing nothing" But doing
nothing" may mean one thing to one
kind of worker, and another thing to
another kind. "Your work is only
headwork," said the college white
washer to the college professor, quite
contemptuously. The locomotive en-
gineer on the lookout of the fast ex-
press, with his hand on the throttle,
may seem to the purely physical labor
er, or to the purely intellectual toiler,
to be 'busy doing nothing" He calls
no muscle into action, he involves no
abstract thought, no philosophy, no
science. He appears to be enjoying
the view from his cab-window just
about as idly and complacently AS does
the recreating tourist behind him,
whose very life is committed to the in
active hands of that engineer. The
engineer to all appearance is 'busy
doing nothing" But the difference is
that the tourist-passenger is inert,
while the engineer is alert. And this
unbroken alertness, this sense OF q
tremendous responsibility unified for
one moment, is the busiest of all ways
OF being busy. Every muscle is ready.
every nerve is tense. The whole man,
physical, M ental, moral, is exhaustingly
engaged-albeit the whole man may
outwardly seem to be "doing nothing"
The hardest part of any ones business
is that part OF it which lives and dies
within himself. The unceasing, un-
broken alertness, the ever-conscoGs re-
sponsibility for right action at the right
time, is the busiest of all businesses,
the first business Of every business-of
every life.--S s. Times.

CURE FOR KICKING.
How to Master horses Addicted to TIL,
Vicious Habit.

Vicious Habit.
During the last thirty-fve years a
neighbor has permanently cured over
twenty horses of the kicking habit,
without failing in any case attempted.
Following is his method: Take half
inch rope that has been stretched until
1t can not stretch any more, tie it
around the horse six inches back of
the pad and bellyband OF the harness;
insert short stick and twist it up
nearly as tight as the rope will bear
without breaking, and tie the stick SO
that it will stay. Fasten the horse in
u stall where there is room behind
him TO WELD long lash whip, then
strike him around the hind legs quite
severely; at the second or third blow
he will generally kick with both feet
with all his might. but only for two or
three times. II he has been in the
habit OF kicking in harness, drive him
he quits making any threats. Some
will kick once or twice with one foot,
and bob up and threaten for several
days. They should be tickled or teased,
or have a basket or pail thrown under
them or tied to hind foot several
times day to make them try to kick,
and until they cease to make any effort
in that direction. The remedy is then
efIectual. After driving the animal hall
an hour the rope should be tightened.
This viii also cure bucking horses or
any which try to throw their rider.--
Galeu Wilson, in N. Y. Tribune,
