AT Manor, Texas, in that sparsely
settled country along the line of the
Houston and Texas Central Railway, j
came to large wood coloIed building
surrounded by caravan of horses. J
counted upward of fifty, all saddled and
each hitched to a tree. EVERYTHING
about the house was as still as death
''lt must be funeral" l said. Sud
denly the scene changed. The doors OF
the building burst open and out broke
they shouted, and caravan of children
scrambled for the horses. In moment
the youngsters had mounted and were
riding helter-skelter over the prairie
The Texas mustangs seemed to scent the
frolic and kicked up their heels as they
galloped home with the school children.
With their dinner pals ingling on the
pommels of the saddles, and theii
dresses and jackets waving in the wind,
they looked like a mad caravan OF
Bedouins.

Sngacity OF Shepherd Dogs.

A gentleman who has had considera.
bic to do with shepherds and drovers in
England and Scotland, speaking of the
story published in the Oyeg0niaR a day
or two since about dog separating the
ewes and wethers of flock by noticing
the earmsrks, say there is no doubt but
what it is true. lie has known dogs to
go into drove of sheep which were
marked with several different marks and
single out every one bearing his masters
mark. He says the shepherds train theiI
dogs by taking them along when puppies
under their care as they mark the sheep,
and the dog is thus taught to distinguish
marks. He says furthur that at the
sheep market in Islngton drivers have
their sheep marked with blue or red
paint, aud when the drives get mixed q
dog will go into the band and bring out
his masters sheep, telling them by the
color of the marking. Shepherd dogs
are the most intelligent of the canine
family, and when they are brought up
among herds of sheep and trained to take
charge of them, it is but reasonable to
suppose that they may learn to notice
marks Of any kind on them. Portland

A Diagnosis of Color Kindness.

Color blindness is: /. Inability to dis
Germ any color properly O-called, so that
black and whlte-namely light and
shade are the only variations of tint
perc ciyei. .. Inability TO discriminate
between the nicer shades of the more
composite colors, such as browns, greys,
and neutral tints. 3. Inability to dis
tinguish between the primary colors,
red, blue and yellow, or between those
and the Sc coudary and tertiary colors.
such as green, purple, orange and brown.
The first sort of color blindness would
seem to be very rare, but we'll marked
cases of 1t are on record. The second
variety, where the nicer shades of the
more composite cOlOrs are mistaken,
would appear to be very cOmmon-the
rule rather than the exception in the ma
ority Of persons, at least of the male
sex, in this country; but it is a matter
of doubt how far 1t may not be referable
to imperfect cultivation of the sense of
color. The ihird form is the most i'm
rOrtant variety of the affection. In ex-
treme cases, although colors are occa-
siOnally quite correctly named, there is
no certainty as 10 any color; in less Sc
we're cases. TWO colOrs at least, as red and
green, and generally four, as red, greer,
olive and brown, are not distinguished
from each other Yellow would appear
TO be that which gives least difficulty to
those not absolutely unconscious of color,
while blue, if pure aud well Illuminated,
is readily recognized by the color blind,
a few of whom, indeed, describe it as
the color which they see best. -Asts Rork

Care of Umbrellas,

After coming in out of the rain let the
umbrella down and stand it on the ham
die, that it may dry in this position; the
water will thus drip from the edges of
the frame and the cover dry uniformly
When placed with the handle upward,
as is frequently done, the water runs to
the top of the umbrella and the moisture
is there retained in the lining under
meath the ring for some length of time,
causing the silk or fabric with which
the frame is covered to become tender
and soon rot. Ordinarily the top of an
umbrella wears out sooner than the other
part of it, and in the majority of cases
may be thus accounted for. A silk um.
brella is much injured by being left
open to dry; the silk becomes stretched
and stiff and will sooner split thus cared
for. When not in use let the folds lie
loose, not fastened down, the creases are
less apt to split from this usage. Dis
pense with an umbrella case except in
travelling, as protection from dust and
cinders. To the friction from the case
is partially due the minute perforations
that appear in the silk in spite of all care
and expense in purchasing. When car
ried in the hand in anticipation of fall
ing weather, the folds may be strapped
down as it adds to the neatness of its an
pearance. -Nelo YORK. IQdepen3ent.

uneasy, and presently confessed that she
had quantity of finest Brussels lace in
her bag on which high duty would
have to be paid "Put it inside your

This was done. The Custom House
officials looked through the boxes of the
elegant young lady, knowing by expert,
ence that such are the most daring of
smugglers, but found nothing The
chief officer, charmed by the amiable
manners of the husband, accompanied

Home Cheese Making.

For the manufacture of cheese on
small scale are required cheese hoop
about ten inches in diameter with a fol-
lower, new washtub and a press. The
milk should be taken perfectly fresh
from the cow and strained through
cloth into the cheese tub. AS a gallon
of milk will make one pound of cheese
the precise quantity at a tine should be
noted. Part of it should be warmed,
so that the temperature Of the whole
when in the tub shall be raised to eighty
three degrees Fahrenheit. The rennet,
thoroughly cleaned or prepared, should
then be added, enough being used to
produce curdling in abour forty minutes.
As soon as the curd will break smoothly,
it should be cut with curd knives into
squares and then allowed 10 stand until
the whey runs off. Part of this whey
is then heated, the mass of curd is lifted
and broken in minute pieces and warm
whey is added until the the temperature
of the whole is raised ninety eight de
grees Fahrenheit When cool this oper-
alton is repeated until the curd becomes
crumbly, easily falling to pieces when
pressed in the hand. The whey is then
all drained off and the curd put into the
cooler and cut up with curd knives
when the temperature has fallen come
what it is turned over and left until it
assumes tlaky condition. When nearly
dry salt is added, and the whole is
mixed thoroughly with curd mill. 1t
is then put into the bandage inside of
the hoop, and is put on the press. AZ
ter remaining there from two to four
hours it should be taken out and turned.
The next day it may be taken from the
