but the safest and most convenient is
as shown in the illustration herewith.
Procure an inch and half strap long
enough to fasten by buckle securely
around the leg of the animal just above
the dew-claws or fetlock, as the case
may be. On this place an eye-snap to
hold the lariat made of three-quarter
inch rope at least forty feet long. with a
swivel joint at both ends, connected 70

ring in the end next to animal so as to
catch the snap. This prevents kinking
and gives free use of head and feet
without danger of being crippled by en-
tanglement.

She opened the door to bold young
breeze, to a chilly dazzle of sunshine,
and to Miss Stokes. To Miss Stokes of
all women! Crystals heart sank. A
spinster of an age decidedly beyond that
known as uncertain was Miss Stokes.
Her periodical visits were invariably
long invariably gossipy, invariably tire
some. The Bruntons had known her
many years. She was one of those for
midable and familiar specters: "a friend
OF the family" and she was, therefore
entitled to liberation, if not to exalted
regard.
Half-past four! Five! A quarter past
five!
"Will she never go?" dejectedly mar

of WEAKNESS, and striving to appear in

Improved PiglTrouph.

A pig is bound to do three things it
he can. and most generally he can,
viz: Get his forefeet in the trough
when eating, crowd out his fellows, and
gnaw the trough. A durable and cheap
trough may be made after the plan
shown in the illustration, which will
circumvent most of the pigs roguery.
The bottom is two-inch plank, ten
inches wide; the sides are plank eight
inches wide. The end pieces are cut
from timber four by six. 1t is put
together with spikes At distances
twelve or fifteen inches apart, pieces,
two inches thick by six inches wide, are

HIS STARLIGHT.

YoI, who at my elbow sit.
BY whose eyes my lines are lit,
How shall any poets pen
Go amiss or falter when
Stars like these shine out above
Beacons kindled there by love
Lighting up the paths below
Where he wanderS to and fro?
Is it strange the rhymes should kiss
Under such spell as this!
They but mimic those, my sweet,
Who Of old were wont to meet
Meet and lineer at the bars
Making love beneath the stars:
We ourselves were happy rhymes
In those dear, betrothal times.
Take this lyric; every line
But reflects the stars that shine
Ger my shoulder telling me
OF my sweethearts constancy;
And if any word appear
Vague or needless, say you: Here
Went a cloud across his skies;
This is where its shadow lies"
But II any turn Of phrase
Tempt your lips to lisp its praise,
Know you there the poet caught
From your eyes the graceful thought;
All the merits of his song
To those constant stars belong
TO those tender eyes that brim
Full with love to gladden. him.

FIRST ENJOYMENTS,

No Secondary Sensations Are Like the
Firstlings of the Flock.
Repetition is the thief of Enjoyment
as surely as Procrastination is the thief
Of Time. 1t is with pleasures as with
sparkling wines. You can have the
flashing globules, the rushing foam, the
rare bouquet, but once. Cork up your
wine for after use. and the next draught
from the bottle shall be comparatively
fiat and tasteless. Take second sip at
any JOY the earth affords and you will
find it less exhilarating than the first.
Novelty is the spice of life. No second
airy sensations are like the primaries,
and habit, in the end, stales every lux
ury.
Middle-aged reader, do you remember
the pride with which you wore your
first watch? 1t may have been a cheap
affair always at odds with Chronos, and
the golden horologe that now ticks
generously in your pocket may be a
patent lever richly jeweled. But what
a contrast between the Indifference with
which you draw forth the costly watch
of your maturity and the subdued ex-
ultation with which dozen times an
hour you paraded the valueless trinket
of your hobble-de-hoy-hood.
Probably your first love and your fret
watch were contemporary; they gener.
all are. Have you forgotten the twelve.

What are all the "vanities" of later
life compared with those of our earlier
years. Does the veteran feel as proud
of his heavy mustache as the boy-man
did of its rudiments? Does not the
youthful author experience more de-
light in seeing his initial work in print
than the veteran Ltterateur from the
issue of his twentieth volume?

A MUCH-MARRIED KING.
His Majesty ofAshantee Has 1888 Wives
and 600 Children.

His Majesty Of Ashantee Has 1888 Wives
and 600 Children.
Polygamy is practiced to an extrava-
CANT degree in Ashantee. The more
wives man has the higher his social
in private life may have is limited by
his ability to purchase and support
them, but the number of wives which
the King may have is limited by law
limited to the modest number of 8, 333,
and it is said that he usually does not
far exceed this limit.
At any rate, he must have more wives
than any of his subjects, or his respecta-
bility will suffer. l was told by the
American consular agent at Elmira that
the present King actually had 1888
wives, and that he had 600 children. All
the King has to do to get a wife is to
chose any female he pleases, no matter
how young she may be. Girls are often
chosen when less than ten years old,
and in such cases they are left with
their mothers until of mature age, at
which time they are taken to join the
rest of the 1888.
No man is ever allowed to see any of
the Kings wives, and should he acct
dentally see one his punishment is
death. These wives during the work.
ing season, attend to the Kings planta-
tions, but the rest Of the time they live
at Coomassie, the Ashantee capital,
where they occupy two long streets.
When they 60 out for q walk in body,
as is often the case, they are preceded
by number of eunuchs, who herald
their coming, that all men may disap-
pear and avoid looking upon them.
When this is impossible they must fall
upon their faces to the ground.
If a white man happens to be there,
and understands not the law, the eu-
nuchs turn his face away from the ad-
vancing women.-Baltimore American.
