Don't Fight the Team.

If horse shows signs of .stubbo,nness
OF contrariness, just get mad ' self,
and you can rest assured you ar nxed
for the rest of the day, as long as you
want TO keep It up. HorsSs like men,
are generally set in their waSs, and when
q horse with only moderate sense gets in
to trouble with man with only moder-
ate sense, the two generally have a
''Eonkey and parrot" time from morn
tag till night. WeIl-bred horses are
Veldom stubborn and unruly, and in this
respect there is a striking analogy be-
tween horses and men. Horses docile,
obedient and tractable in the hands OF
one man are vicious and unruly in the
hands of another. The reason is, the
one knows how to manage them, the 9TH
er does not. Bad dispositions are gener-
ally the result of bad handling. A few
slaps and jerks, accompanied by little
sharp talk or a few fierce wells, gets the
most gentle horse clear beside himself
and ready to worry and fret the remain
der of the day. The more quiet and
steady you keep your horses the better il
will be for them, yourself and all con
cerned.-0Ur Dumb AaimGls.

Pnehlo indians Of Nen Mexioo

By far the most interesting inhabit- |
ants of the heart of New Mexico are the
Pueblo Indians As to their origin, much
has been, and more may be, surmised.
According TO the traditions of the wise
men. their forefathers came from the
great mountains and lakes far to the
northward ages upon ages ago. Fables
and myths are interviewer with what
may be legends founded upon fact; but
the truth IS difficult to separate from fic-
ton. Their myths seem to refer to fami-
lies rather than TO entire tribes, and they
are so strongly colored with imagery as
TO be susceptible Of almost any interpre-
tation. At first sight the temptatis2 to

A TRAVELLER vino recently returned
tom Pekin, China, asserts that there
plenty to smell in that city but very
little to see. Most of the show places,
such as the Temple of Heaven and the
marble bridge, have one by one been
closed to outside barbarians, who can
not even bride their way The houses
are all very low and mean, the streets
are wholly unpaved and are always
very muddy or dusty, and as there are
no sewers or cesspools the filthiness of
the town is indescribabIe. He adds
that the public buildings are small.

The Force of Evaporation

An average of five feet of water is es-
timated to fall annually over the whole
earth, aud, assuming that condensation
takes place at an average height of 5000
feet. scientists concluded that the force
of evaporation to supply such rainfall
must equal the lifting of 322, 600, OOC
pounds of water 5000 feet in every min
ute, or about 800, 900, OOO-horse-powe
constantly exerted. OF this prodigiou,
,mount of energy thus created a very
snail proportion is transferred to the
waters that run back through rivers tc
the sea, and still smaller fraction is
utilized by man; the remainder is dissi-
paaed in space.

THEY tell a good story about Post
master General Wanamaker. When
he began to build his church in Phila-
delphia, it is said, he told his Sunday
school boys that he wanted them each
to have a personal interest IN the new
building, and he, therefore, expected
that on the morrow every one Of them
would bring a nice new brick. The
brick were forthcoming, but, in view of
the fact that boys are not in the habit
of buying such things. and also in con-
sideration of the sudden depletion of
sundry brick-piles in divers parts of
the city, Mr. Wanamaker had to listen
to many insiuuating comments upon
the brick business as connected wish
the building of church edi6ces.

DORCAS.
At Joppa a Christi N woman
Had fallen sick and died
a humble-mindei woman
Yet all the neighbors cried:
''What snail we Go without herg'
And one had grace TO say:
AT LYDIA tarries Peter,
Fetch him without delay"
And so across the country
Some fifteen miles or more,
Two men to meet the sunrise
Sped fr m the rugged shore
10 the saints who dwelt at LYDIA
Finding comfort in their need,
For prayers 70 heaven, faith-laden,
Gave the three men gCdspe,d.
Warm hearts have held the picture
For eighteen hundred years;
The group within that upper room,
The sobs, lamelts and tears
The widow, weeping, showing
The coats that she had made
Like bit of ancient tapestry
Time mellows every shade.
This Tabiths, called DorcaS
Her quiet life had filed
With good works and with alms-deedR.p
We read not She had willed
Her frugal, hard-earned savings
A church or school tn found,
That after death her prai es
In public might resound.n
All her sweet life consisted
In sowing loving seed,
In caring for her n=ighbors,
In thought and word and deed;
And So her acts are handed down
To comfort hearts like ours,
Like precious jars Of sweet perfume
Wrung from long witherel flowers
