KEEPING A HORSE.
It's Not Such an Expensive Luxury as
Many suppose.

It's Not Such Expensive Luxury az
Many suppose.
Driving horse is not such an expen-
sive luxury as one would suppose. Of
course it costs lots of money to be able
to drive crack. A hrst-class trotter
costs as much as one wants to pay. A
good 2:20 horse can be had for about
SIS, 600, and thousand more can be add
ed to that amount for every half second
he can 60 faster than 2:20 down to 2:12.
Those that can trot faster than that are
phenomenal, and bring fabulous prices.
Axtell's price was 500, 900; Sunol's $780,
900, and Maud SIS $40, 600 A good
three-minute horse that can do fair work
on the road can be bought for $500. Of
course he won't beat every thing he
meets, but he will make good showing.
This is how bill for a hor-e and rig
would look:
Buggy Second HANDY Observation-Disclosures. $50
Harness .......................... Is
Whip. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 10
bankers. ...'......'..s.. '................. 20
Iotal -...--..-.-.-.....-.- $3.50
The buggy, blankets, whip and har-
ness can all be bought at an auction
sale. An experienced man should be
consulted, though, before the purchase
is made, or the buyer may be swindled.
The cost of taking care of the horse
would make bill for a year look like
this one:
Twelve months board at SIS per month. $500
SnoolnS ---..-------. -.-.--..--..-.. 3
Painting buggy and repairino harness. s0

This would mean an outlay of about
81 week. A good top-coat is neoes-
sary, and so are pair of driving gloves.
These will cost about 500. So that the
complete rig would necessitate an out
lay of about $3.50. and it would cost
about 81 week to keep it. But then
what an amount of good healthy enjoy
ment can be gotten out of it-N. Y.

day and all night were lett IN peace.
On the third day there were but twenty
natives in the besieging force, and they
fred into the thicket only at long inter
walls. On the fourth day this force was
reduced to ten. At noon Wilds made q
scout and found them eating dinner,
and we crept up and killed one and
wounded two, and completely raised the
siege. We could have gone away now
had we had any place to go to, but we
had decided to remain.
On the fifth dav about nine o'clock il
the morning, rabble of about SIX hum
bred natives, most of them soldiers, who
we're on their way to Cawnpoor, were
turned aside to attack us. Each one had
a gun and plenty of ammunition, and
for three hours they kept up credit
able fire. They could see nothing to
shoot at, but fired into the thicket, and
at least FIVE hundred bullets hit the
walls of our fortress. We did not fire
in reply, as it would only have betrayed
out position. At noon, when their fire
began to slacken. we made ready for
charge. There were two spare guns,
all were loaded. Then, while waiting,
Wilds piled up couple of hundred
stones about the size of his fist from the
plentiful supply once used in the rubble
work of the buildings. The thicket was
surrounded two lines deep, and at sig
nal general advance was made. Had
we been without cover we would have
been killed or captured. When they saw
olir fort the orders were to storm it. The
walls were so low that one could 'boost"
another up, and before we opened fire
there was living fringe all around us.
In one minute only the dead were
in sight. Wilds fired once, and then re-
sorted to the rocks, and ] honestly be-
lieve he disabled a dozen men. -Four OF

Where shall I Begin? Let me see!
How shall dress my baby? Yes! That
is surely the beginning of all humanity,
and conseque ntly the first fashions that
engage our attention. must make lit
tie tiny short-sleeved linen shirts, long
band, then double waist or pinning
blanket petticoat, cotton petticoat with
embroidery ever so deep, then nice
thin, white dress. This must be loaded
with trimming, starched stiff, and be a
yard and half long. Hum! what will
it have on it's poor little neck and
shoulders, and how can tiny baby en-.
dure such an amount of clothing on it's
poor little feet, and when it is pinned
up so tight that it sits up like little
mackerel, and it's stomach has so little
room it can't cry, and it looks all mot
tled-hum! shall be such brute to a
a poor, little, innocent babe? No,
never! If there is any such thing as
comfort my babe shall enjoy it, that's
settled. But what will all the grand
mas say? Never mind; they are all
born, and so am I, and am of age.
Now, my little darling, you shall
have, first, a warm flannel shirt with
long sleeves, high neck, nice and long,
flannel band with two little darts two
inches apart. finger long; then it will
always stay in place. Next, the little
pinning blanket shall have cot
ton waist, one thickness, with large
arm holes and straps over the shoulders,
buttons down the front and one yard in
length from neck to hem, petticoat waist
little larger and flannel a little longer,
nice deep hem, vino stitch on outside.
This must be buttoned, also, with arm
holes or shoulder straps, three buttons
on the waist, front and sides, these to
button the cotton skirt on for dress

mother-hubbard gown, that is all for
every day, unless it be cold, when there
must be shoulder shawl and knit

DOGS AND PICTURES.

Incidents Showing That Animals Can
maze Out" = Painting.
1t has long been a disputed question
whether animals can be made to per-
ceive the semblance of living creatures
in the fiat surface of a picture, and be
deceived into supposing that the paint
ed representation of an animal is really
living thing. Stories of such percy
ton in dogs, horses and cats are not
very rare, but few of them have been
well authenticated; and the fact has
often been observed that the most in
telligent animals, though they are ex-
ceedingly curious, and often become OK.
cited over an image in looking-glass,
regard pictures with Indifference.
The London Spectator, however, re-
lates, on the faith of correspondent, an
incident or two which seem to indicate
in certain animals, at least, an ability to
make OUT a picture.
An English painter, the Spectator
! says, owned terrier which had very
bad habit of chasing sheep, and was
cured of it by dint of much labor and
care.
One day the dogs master painted a
picture of flock of sheep, guarded by
two dogs, and on being called out of the
studio by some one, he left the picture
leaning against wall.
On his return he was surprised and de.
| lighted, for he regarded the fact as
compliment to his work, to find his ter.
rier barking loudly at the picture, his
ears prickea up, his eyes cleaning with
fire, and his whole manner indicating
excitement.
| The painter looked upon the incident
as the more remarkable from the fact
that the figures of the sheep were not
painted life-size, but were only about
eight or ten inches long.
But while the dogs illusion regarding
the sheep must have been complete, it
was quite remarkable that he did not
seem to see the pictures of the dogs, and
paid no attention to them whatever
i AS often, afterward, as he was shown
the picture, the terrier became greatly
excited by it, freq uently mounting ia
BILE in order to approach nearer to it.
The same journal tells another story
of quite as remarkable a character. A
lady who possessed two dogs had the
portrait of one of them painted by the
artist Chalon. The painter,' having fin.
ished the picture, left it out of doors q
few minutes to dry. The other dog
happening to come up, began to bark al
it and to gambol about it precisely as
he would have done if he had met his
companion.
