Steam Curry-c Comb.

The brush and curry comb are indis-
pensable little tools for cleaning horses :;
but they involve the expenditure of so
much elbow grease, that substitute
worked by steam is sure of favor. In
the Palmer House livery stables in Chi
cago are steam brushes, cylinders in
form, and revolving on a stick which
may be held in the hand. This the
operator passes rapidly over the horse,
making dust and hair fly at rate that
keeps the air thick. Two men work at
one horse, one on each side, and they
will go over an animal in forty seconds.
A repetition of the cleaning leaves SO
little dust, that white handkerchief
may be passed over the coat without
soiling it. This horse-cleaner is often
operated by steam. Some time, prob
ably, the storing Of electric power will
be so perfect, that surplus power
collected from wind mills or waterfalls
may be kept convenient to houses and
barns, to furnish power for any small
force that may be desired, cleaning
horses, or turning grindstones in barns,
or churning, washing, or running the
5ewing-machine in the house. National

A Life of Petty Shifts.

Petty Russian officials, many OF
whom receive less than fifty dollars a
month, manage to live pretty much at
the expense of credulous tradesmen.
From the very beginning they estab-
lish their household on basis Of fraud.
In their houses strangers are sure to
be taken in. Every man, woman, and
child who comes in contact with them
is plucked like an elder duck. Most
OF these people pay only half the rent
covenanted for, and some manage to
get their meals thrown in. The trades
men, who compete with each other
suicidally, wipe out last years debts
rather than run their heads into new
nooses. The peddlers and bagmen,
who are continually strolling about
these places with their bags of wares
on their backs, are not too small flies
for the spiders webs woven by these
gentlemen" They, like the others,
are paid in promises. And so family
of three, four, or five persons manage
to live, if not exactly on the fat Of the
land, yet on It'd bits of whatever is in
season, and can afford to play cards
with neighbors and relations, and go
to concert or private theatricals now
and again and all this for sum that
would keep an English or American
family of the same social status in
boots. gloves, and hats for single
season,

Some Interesting Chairs.

The Libby Prison War Museum has
just placed in position an exhibit consist
ing entirely of interesting historic chairs,
and every one of these chairs forms one
of the links in the history of this great
nation. The first chair of interest is an
old wooden one in which John Hancock
sat when he affixed his signature to the
famous Declaration of Independence, and
near this is an old and worn wooden
wicker that Abraham Lincoln's father
once priced as portion of his household
effects. Then come few chairs of a
more modern date, the first being the
leather-covered pivot chair used in Lin
coins library at the White House when
he was President. In the same exhibit
are six Of the chairs that were in the box
of Ford's Theatre, Washington, on the
night that President Lincoln was assas-
sinated. The last official chair of the
Confederacy is one of great interest. 1t is
the one that jeff Davis used in the resid-
ence of Mrs. Potts as an office, chair after
Richmond was evacuated and the seat of
the Confederacy was forced to the South.
The most modern of the chairs in this
historic collection is that used by Presi-
dents Grant, Hayes and Garfield as an
Office chair in the White House. One
other chair of interest is that used by
President Garfield after he was shot by
Guitcau. 1t is an invalid chair of the re-
clining pattern, and was the only one used
by that martyred President from the time
he was shot by the assassin until his death.

A horses weak point is his eyesieht.
Nearly all horses seem to be near
sighted, and that is the probable reason
why they start and tremble at a piece
OF paper rolling in the road, an old
stump by the wayside, or anything, no
matter how ordinarily it NAV
be, II it happens TO be
beyond the limited range of their
vision. The inherent weakness Of their
eyes is also proven by the number of
blind horses.
But il the horses eyesight is weak,
his sense Of smell is highly developed.
He will leave musty hay untouched in
his rack, however hungry. He will not
drink of water Objectionable to his
questioning sniff, or from bucket
which some odor makes offensive, how
ever thirsty.
His intelligent nostril will widen,
culver and query over the daintiest bit
offered by the fairest of hands, with
coaxings that would make mortal shut
his eyes and swallow q nauseous mouth
full at gulp.
A mare is never satisfied by either
sight or whinny that her colt is really
her own, until she has certified nasal
certificate to the fact. A blind horse,
now living, will not allow the approach
OF any stranger without showing signs
of anger not safely to be disregarded.
The distinction is evidently made by his
sense of smell, and at a considerable
distance.
Blind horses, as rule, will gallop
wildly about pasture without striking
the surrounding fence. The sense Of
smell informs them of its proximity.
Others will, when loosened from the
stable, go directly to the gate or bars
opened to their accustomed feeding
grounds, and when desiring to return,
after hours of careless wandering, will
distinguish one outlet and patiently
await its opening. The odor of that
particular part of the fence is their pilot
to it. ~
The horse, in browsing, or while
gathering herbage with his lips, is
guided in its choice of proper food en-
tirely by its nostrils. Blind horses do
not make mistakes in their diet. In the
temple of Olympus bronze horse was
exhibited, at the sight of which six real
horses experienced the most violent
emotions.
Hlian judiciously observes that the
most perfect art could not initiate ma
ture sufficiently well to produce so
strong an illusion. Like Pliny and
Pausanlus, he consequently affirms that
"in casting the statue magnician had
thrown hippomanes upon it, which, by
the odor of the plant, deceived the
horses, and therein we have the secret
of the miracle.
The scent alone of buffalo robe will
cause many horses to evince lively ter
ror, and the floating scent of railroad
train will frighten some long after the
locomotive is out of sight and hear
ing.

To dim the blue horizon
OF thy hopes by passing fears3
What right have ye 70 question
The wisdom OF thy God
II tbs His win that ye should pass
Beneath the Christening rod2-
What right have ye 10 sorrow
For those hopes unrealized?
Though lost, why should We shed tears
For treasures that ye prizep
What, though thy castles built of air
In hopeless ruins lie,
Think ye that structures frail as these
Are even worth the sigh?
o, be not so soon o'erwhelmed
By trihing grfefs like these,
Once more resolve-they vanish, all,
Like clouds before the breeze.
Mount upward on thy blasted hopes,
And be discouraged never;
For failure We shall never know
II ye will but endeavor.

It's worth each new exertion.'
