White towels are now best liked, and 8 handsome set may ba made at home from the finest of huok toweling. This should be cut in lengths of 8 yard and quarter, and thread drawn an eighth of a yard from each end. This Is to be guide for the lower edge of a row of strong and even buttonhole stitching, up to which the threads are raveled for the fringe which may be knotted or left free.

The Horse fin English Poetry and ihe
 

The Horse in English Poetry and the
 Drama.
 From all the Year Round
 In English poetry we first meet with the horse in Chcucer's verse. in "Troilus and Cressida" he figures under the name of Bay ard; and we hear the chatter of hoofs and the jingle of bridle bells in the prologus to "The Canterbury Tales" Passing OF the Elizabethan writers, we come upon some picturesque sketches iu Spenser's "Fserie Queen" As, for instance. when the Red Cross Knight bricks across the plain:
 "His angry steed doth chide his foaming bit,
 As much disdaining to the curb to yield"
 And there are some spirited alIusions iu more than one of the elder dramatists, from Beaumont and Fletcher to Ford and Shirley, which have no space to quote or partfcu- larize. Shakespeare, however, is the only one who approaches the subject with exact and sympathetic knowledge. I will not go into the hsckneyed passage in "Venns and Adonis," where the 'spoints" of perfect animal are insisted upon with the accuracy of an expert and the felicity of great poet. But shall ask leave to refresh the readers recollection of certain scene in "Henry the Fifth," where the Dauphin enthusiastically recitss the fine qualities of his ''priGce of palfreys." None but a man who knew and loved the horse could have penned this fer vent passage: "I will not change my horse," says the Dauphin, with any that treads but in four pasterns. Ga bal he bounds from the earth az if his entraiis were hairs: le chsval volant, the Pegasus, chez les marines de feul When bestride him I eoar, am hawk; he trots the air; the earth sings whom he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hsrmes. It is beast for Perssus; he is pure air and fire. The man hath no wit that cannot, from the rising of the lark to the lodging of the lamb. vary deserved praise on my palfrey." Like the Nespoli.an prince in the Merchant of Venice, ;" Che doth nothing but talk of his horse."
 In "Troilus and Cressida" occurs an alIu- sion to one of Electors steeds: stNow he fights on Galathe, his horse." Sir Andrew Aguecheek, in Twelfth Night" reveals to us that he owns Q gray horse named Capulet. And Lafew, in "All's We'll That Ends Well," speaks of his bay, Curtal. The name of Falstaff's steed Is nowhere given, nor any description of him, though one could have wished for information respecting the much-enduriug animal which bore that l "mauntain of fesh!"

Natural Gas Freaks in Indiana

4 Kokomo (Ind } note says:
A singular misfortune has oyertaken the
family of William Shenk, farmer living
five miles east of this place, in consequence
of the finding of natural gas. About two
months ago the Diamond Plate Glass Com
pany leased Shenks farm for gas aud put
down well. On reaching depth Of
about $40 feet big flow of the elastic fluid
was secured, which shot out the tools with
tremendous force, followed by stream of
water that reached the height of at least
125 feet, and continued without cessation
for more than week, despite all efforts by
the owners of the well to get il stopped.
Shenks farm was flooded so that lie was
compelled to dig trenches to prevent it
from destroying his wheat crop and other.
wise doing great injury to his land But
the water was finally shut of, and the gas
and water separated and it was considered
one of the best producers in this vicinity.
Within the past few days, however, the
gas has taken an entirely new freak, and
is now coming ont Of the ground all over
the farm, and it is easy to light
it in hundreds of places by simply
applying a match. Even the water
in the farmers drive well is forced
out by the gas, and the family is contem-
plating q removal from its residence to
avoid being blown up. Shenk considers
that his farm is en- tirely ruined and will
doubtless abandon it altogether, unless
some way can be devised to control the
escaping element.

Buttons that will Stick.

you are sewing them on, then, and see if
they make anv difference. When yon be-
gin, before you lay the button on the cloth,
put the thread through so the knot will be
on the right side That leaves it under
the button and prevents it from being iron

loosening process Then before you begin
sewing, lay large pin across the button
so that all your threads will go over the
pin After you have finished filling the
holes with thread draw out the pin and
wind your thread round and round beneath
the button. That makes compact stem

How to See [ he Wind.

Take a polished metal surface Q feet or
more, with straight edge; large hand
saw will answer the purpose. Take a
windy day for the experiment, whether hot
or cold, clear or cloudy, only let it not be
in murky, rainy weather Hold your me
tallic surface at right angles TO the direc-
tion of the wind. G., if the wind is north
hold your surface east, but instead of hold
ing it vertical, incline it about AZ degrees
TO the horizon, 80 that the wind, striking,
glances and flows over the edge US the
water flows over dam. Now sight care
fully along the edge some minutes ct a
sharply defined object and you will see the
wind pouring over the edge in graceful
curves Make your observations carefully
and you will hardly ever fail in the exper-
iment. The results are even better if the
sun is obscured

Men Not the Only Liars.

In his speech TO the jury III the Leeoney
murder trial lately Judge Pancoast laid it
down AS selfevident trnth that brutes
could not lie. Men and women lie," he
said, ''but the brute creation, be it said TO
their credit, cannot lie" To lie is To de
ceive-to create false impressions, and it
is not true that brutes cannot lie They
are the greatest liars ON earth. When the
common pheasant, with feathers resembling
dry leaves, crouches close to the ground
and remained still "a death, il is lying. Ii

think that it is only clump of dry leaves

The giraffe, which will stand motionless
for hours in grove OF palms, with its long
neck stretched pretending to be tree,

limps and stumbles along, pretending to
be lame, and thus induces you to pursue it
until you get away from the vicinity of its
nest, aud then flies swiftly of, is simply
lying to you. When the opossum gets
into dangerous quarters it tains death; SO
does the potato bug. In the frozen North

and beasts are all white, and in the fiowery
regions Of the tropics they take on all the
hues of the rainbow There are hundreds
