How to Deal with BaIky Horse.

1t is common thing to "see horses that
have been baked a few times turn their
heads and look back as soon as they are q
little frustrated. This is because they have
been whipped and are afraid of what is be-
hind them" Again and again in his book
Mr.. Rarey dwells on the importance of
being gentle with the horse; approaching
him gently and deliberately, so as not to
startle or excite him. He speaks of the
necessity of having entire control over
ones self, because the horse, being timid
animal, is easily bewildered and fright
ened, and is thus made the more unfit to
understand what is required of him. Pat
ting and caressing have quieting effect,
and are conducive to understanding the
animal and the man. The horse is quick
to learn and quicker to recognize one who
can command him.
The baking horse should first be pacified,
and then his attention diverted from the
thing that made him balk. A good sug-
gestion is to lift one of his forefeet from the
ground and tap it gently several times
with a stone. II have never" says the
writer, failed to start horse in that very
simple way and have on several occasions
had balky horses which would exhaust the
patience of all former owners" Another
method that will often succeed when all
others fail is to unhitch the horse, lead him
little way, then pull the vehicle to him
and hitch him up again. Never jerk or
pull at the bit of balky horse. By all
means refrain from whipping him. Those
methods only make him worse. Apportion
his load to the distance to be travelled and
the condition of the road, and never under
any circumstances overload your horse

Marvels of Human Skill.

Among the marvels of human skill and
ingenuity exhibited by the London Me-
chanical and Scientific society may be
mentioned an instrument loaned by the
great Armstrong gun works which accu-
rately measures thicknesses down to the
one-thousandth of an inch; a similar
instrument by rival mechanic which
grades thicknesses in one-millionth parts;
a scale by Oertling, the world famous bal
ance maker, which turns with the one
thousandth of grain while loaded with
5000 grains, and an engine by Padding

A Strange Inspiration.

A New Yorker famous in the world Of
letters awake one night from sound
sleep. So far as he knew he had not been
dreaming He composed himself again
and was sinking into slumber when there
came into his mind, as though out of the
darkness, two lines of verse, rhythmical,
but senseless. They kept him awake, and
after time two lines more, equally smooth
and absurd, presented themselves to his
consciousness. 1t seemed to him as though
some one were debating nonsensical dog
gerel to him from the shadows of the night
Unable to sleep he arose and went down
stairs to his library He sat quiet in the
darkness for awhile, hoping that he would
fall asleep in his chair Buta second verse,
perfect in form but absurd in meaning
came into his mind, and then a third and
fourth. Lighting lamp he took up pen
and wrote down rapidly the lines that had
come to him. AS he wrote new verses fell
from his pen, and when he had finished his
task a poem of eight stanzas lay before
him. He was surprised to find that, taken
in their entirety, the verses were far from
meaningless.
He at once put the poem in an envelope
and directed it to publishing firm. Plac-
ing it among other letters to be mailed by
a servant in the morning he returned tc
bed and at once fell asleep. Upon awak-
ing he was uncertain whether be had
dreamed Of writing q p6esiH " had really
transcribed one. AS his letters had been
posted he had no means of deciding the
question. His uncertainty was pleasantly
relieved the next day, however, by the re-
ceipt of handsome check from his pub
fishers and a letter praising his poem.
The popularity of this case, which makes it
very different from the celebrated instance
of Coleridge and his poem of "Kublau
Khan" lies in the fact that the author had
not been dreaming. He awoke from what
seemed to him dead sleep and found that
his imagination had produced, without
conscious effort on his part, perfect
poem.-New York World.
