The worlds Richest Heiress.

The little daughter of the king and
queen of Holland will be the richest
heiress i'll the world. She is simple
minded, intelligent child, and talks
four languages fluently. Her chief de-
light when she was or 6 was making
mud pies, but this pleasure she was not
often allowed to indulge in. The lit
tie princess has an enormous number
of white frocks, as she is dressed In
nothing but white in the summer and
has a clean dress every day. When
driving out her English governess has
great difficulty in keeping the poor lit
tie princess perpetually acknowledging
the public salute. ''Why do all the
people want to look at me" asked the
little mite one day. Not for your
own sake, dear, but because you are
your fathers little girl" was her gov
erness' wise reply.-New York Tele-
gram.

The Stable,

1. Let your stable be well drained
and sufficiently lighted. The vapors
from a damp putrid floor, and the
sudden change from darkness to
light, will almost to a certainty
cause blindness.
2. Let the floor of the stalls be
quite fiat and level. Standing on a
sloping place is very painful, and
causes lameness by straining the lig-
aments and membranes. Italso pro-
duces grease and sore heels.
B. Every stall should be at least
six feet wide and nine feet long. This
will enable the horse to turn round
without bruising himself, and to lie
down and stretch himself with COM
fort
4. Let the stalls be separated by
partitions, not by bars. They pre-
vent the horses from fighting and
kicking each other.
5. Let proper openings be made
just under the ceiling to permit the
hot, foul, air to escape, and proper
openings at the bottom of the wall to
admit fresh air Impure and confined
air will cause broken wind.
6. The fresh air should enter
through a number of small holes,
rather than a large hole, such as
an open window. That prevents
draughts, which cause chills and
coughs.
7. The temperature of stable
should be that of sitting room or
parlor; not over 10 degrees in sum-
mer nor under 40 degrees in winter.
Hot, close or foul stables will bring
on CHAMBERS or Inflammation, while a
very cold or damp one may cause an
incurable cough or disease of the
lungs.
8. Do not keep the hay over the
manger. The steam and breath of
the animal make it both unpleasant
and unwholesome. If the hay must
be kept over the horse, the ceiling be-
tween should be of plaster. This will
in some measure preventvapors from
passing up to the food.
Have no opening into the manger
from the hay loft. Dust is very often
thrown into the horses eyes when fed
in this way, and thus blindness is be-
gun The breath ascends directly to
the food through the opening, which
at the same time pours continual
draught down on the horses head,
thus causing chills as well as bad
food The Hub.

ADVERTISING RATES.
RATE PER YEA
oIoominess is Dangerous.

A prevalent belief is that under the
strain of great emergencies the mind
is liable tolosei its grasp. The report
of the commissioners appointed by
the Pennsylvania Legislature to col
lect statistics concerning the Johns
town flood disproves this belief in a
manner quite effectual. Out of the
more than 10000 people who, in the
Conemaugh valley and the territory
Immediately about, were put to the
great strain of that greatest calami-.
ty III their experience only fifteen be-
cameinsane. OF these seven had been
in lunancy previously and discharged
as restored. According to the con-
cluding paragraph of the report "the
great and overwhelming trials of life
are much less liable to overthrow
reason than the continuous worry
and attrition of minor evils and de-
pressing surroundings"
This merely serves to emphasize
what has long been a cherished pre-
cept with us. Don't worry. Don't
fret. Don't think that everything is
gloomy. Cheerfulness is largely
habit. There is no rational frame of
mind which cannot acquire at least
small capacity for pleasant thoughts.
And if, instead of trying to show by
delusive figures, trying to suggest by
unfair and untrue portaitures and in
a general way and by devious means
endeavoring to promulgate the belief
that the world is in bad way the
pessimists would devote a portion of
their surplus energy to lifting the
gloom and exciting cheeefulness, even
if the statistics and the scientific rev.
elations don't warrant universal ioy,.,
the result would not only be a hap1
pier and a pleasanter lot of mortals
but more sane ones as well.-[Troy

Viewing the Landscape.

How many people are aware that
one of the best points of vantage
from which to see the country when
riding on a railway train is from the
rear door or the rear platform of the
last car? asks the New York Tribune.
The view from the window of an or
binary car is at the best exasperating
and unsatisfactory. There can be
only hurried glance at a multitude
of objects hurrying one after another
over the field of vision. In an obser-
vation car there is a better opportu-
nifty of seeing, a wider range being
afforded; but even that gives only
half of the picture, and is not wholly
satisfying. From therear of train,
though, one can take in the whole,
and see things in their true relation
to each other. The writer went
through the highlands of the Hudson
on the west side of the river the other
day, occupying this point of view.
The experience was worth experience
ing. One of the peculiar impressions
is that produced by the rapid fleeing
away of the objects in the foreground.
The effect produced is that the hills,
etc, in the distance are rapidly ap-
preaching the observer The optical
| illusion thus occasioned is perfect and
exceedingly interesting. Try how he
might, the writer was unablet to make
! his eye see what his mind knew to be
the fact; nor, in truth, did he wish to
do so, except for the sake of the psy-
Geological phenomenon. Perhaps it
is just as well that not all travellers
appreciate the advantages of therear
door of the rear car, for the railway
companies are limited as to their ca
pacity to supply the article on their
trains. Beside, one has to stand if
he wishes to ''view the landscape
DER" in this fashion.

Lincoln at Gettysburg,

John Russell Young, describing
Lincoln at Gettysburg, says he fol
lowed Edward Everett, who had
spoken for two hours in clear voice
and with carefully studied and i'm
pressive delivery. "It was like a
great actor playing a great part.
Mr. Lincoln arose, walked to the edge
of the platform, took out his glasses
and put them on. He bowed to the
assemblage in his homely manner and
took out of his pocket a page of
foolscap In front of him was a
photographer with his camera, en-
deavoring to take a picture of the
scene. We allsupposed that Mr.. Lin
coin would make rather a long
speech-a half hour at least. He took
the single sheet of foolscap, held it al
most to his nose, and in a high tenor
voice, without the least attempt for
effect, delivered the most extraordi-
nary address which belongs to the
classics of literature The photo
grapher was bustling about prepar-
ing to take the Presidents picture
while he was speaking, but Mr.. Lin
coin finished before the photographer
was ready. | remember it was a
beautiful October day, and there We're
four or five thousand people present.
Very few heard what Mr.. Lincoln
said, and it is a curious thing that
his words should have made no par
ticular impression at the time The
noticeable thing was the anxiety of
all on thp DlatfOrm that thp nhOtO-
grapher should be able to get his pic
ture. | remember we were all very
much disappointed at his failure, and
were more interested in his adventure
than in the address,
