A GOOD man and wise man may at
times be angry with the world, at times
grieved for it; but be sure no man was
ever discontented with the world if he
did his duty in it.

HE that loves the country as God
made it, in all its beauty and immortal
freshness, must love God and man too;
and while he seeks, in mountain soli-
tudes and on sea shores, relief from the
WEAKNESS of too long jostling in the
crowd, will find how this very solitude
will quicken his appetite for human So
ciety, and his perception of the comforts
and home pleasures of town.

IT is a good thing and wise one, to
be able, with few books and a little
needle-work. to give any room, however
strange and desolate, look of home, to
be able to pursue our usual employments

blessing beyond wealth, beyond beauty,

The Queer Costa Rica Dogs.

The Costa Rica Indian dogs are pecu-
liar from the fact that they can't bark
naturally. These dogs are big, slouch-
ing, ,light-colored beasts and are evident
ly related to the coyotes, although as
puppies these dogs soon learn to initiate
the bark Of other dogs, which are kept
to teach them to bark, the same as one
canary bird teaches another to sing,
while the coyote domesticated never
learns to bark until the third generation.
These Costa Rican dogs would be of lit
tie service as watch dogs, even if they
we're wanted for that purpose, but it
would go hard with anyone who intruded
on premises where these silent brutes run
at large. Without warning he would be
pounced upon Immediately and torn to
pieces. But these dogs are not kept for
household protection, for few of their
owners have much of house.
hold to protect. They are used chiefly
for hunting the puma and jaguar, the
two Serce and destructive members of
the tiger family, which are so numerous
in the mountains and the reedy plains Of
Central America and especially in the
southern province of Costa Rica.-Forest

The american Register describes the
story of "dog modiste" in Paris: The
sights were very amusing. The place
was not so much of store as an estab-
lishment, with halls and rooms richly
furnished. Ladies tripped in and out all
day long, most of the visitors having
with them pugs or terriers. The pet
dogs were scattered through the rooms,
each awaiting its turn. Many small
mats and rugs were around the waxed
floors, and every bit of carpeting of the
kind was occupied by some pretty little
creature. These dogs have various
dresses. The robe used in the morning
is garment of dark blue cloth. 1t is
called paletot, and is lined with red
flannel. From a leather collar little
bells jingle as its wearer walks along.
Sometimes bunch of violets is fastened
on the left shoulder of dog. On very
cold days the pet is clad In sealskin Of
the same pattern, the collar being in fur,
mounted in silver Chicago Herald.

Insects and Cold.

Entomologists have determined that
the severity of winters is not destruc-
tive to insect life. Larvae may be frozen
stiff, and yet they will revive with the
return of the warmth. Bumblebees and
butterflies are often met with in the arc
tic regions. Disease microbes are even
more tenacious of life. Watchnurth and
Verna found that they could lie subjected
to cold forty degrees below zero, be
powdered with mortar, and yet be cap
able of transmitting diseases. Chicago

The Telephone as Weather Prophet.

The telephone is about to have new
application-that of foretelling storms.
A new discovery has been made as to one
of the properties of this means Of trans
mitting sound. BY placing two iron bar
at seven or eight meters distance from
each other, and then putting them in
communication ON one side by copper
wire covered with rubber, and on the
other side with tele phone, a storm can
be predicted at least twelve hours ahead
through dead sound heard in the re-
ceiver. According as the storm advances
the sound resembles the beating of
hailstones against the windows. Every
flash of lightning, and, of course, every
clap of thunder that accompanies the
storm, produces shock similar to that
of the stroke of stone cast between
the diaphragm and the instrument. -

Beet Pulp is Good Fodder.

An important fact in the beet sugar
industry is that the refuge pulp makes a
valuable fodder for cattle. The tops are
also available for the same use. This
refuse is stored In mounds, and will re-
main in good condition for six months.
Wherever beet-sugar factories have been
established there has been an immense
improvement in the agriculture of the
surrounding country. 1t is found that
although three tons of the pulp are
equal in nutriment value only 30 one ton
of the best hay, yet when fed in connec-
tion with coarse provender it possesses a
value of its own in keeping animals in a
sleek, growthy condition, and, strange
to say, one not indicated by its chemical
analysis. - Chicago Nesos.

In Praise Of Hackney Horses.

The introduction of the hackney horse
of England into this country marks an
important era in the breeding of carriage
horses. There is great need in this
country of good, fine acting carriage

trotting horse are founded on the same
blood, that of the Arabian, in fact, our
trotter came originally from Norfolk

fast and of great bottom. A horse to
trot must have reach, and to have o
reach his shoulders must lie we'll into his

TRYING OUT LARD IN THE HOUSE.


attend to frying out the lard myself
and do the most of the work, writes Mrs.
w. s. Coun. I lay the leaf and fat
pieces in cool place for day or two,
and if it freezes like 1t all the better,
for it seems to take some of the water
out of it. I first cut out all the lean
possible to lessen the quantity of scraps,
and then cut the fat into small bits and
put it into two iron pots on the stove
out the fat pieces settle down, and when
they are pretty we'll Drowned into scraps
dip some of the melted lard out of one
of the pots into the other and with a
skinner lift the scraps out of that pot
into the first, so as to have them nearly
all in one, until they are thoroughly
cooked. then put them into coarse
linen bag and squeeze all the fat l can
out of them. If there is a cheese press
that can be brought into the kitchen, it
may be used for that purpose, but
squeezers that will do very well can be
made from two smooth pieces of boards
two feet long and three inches wide,
hinged with strap of leather at one
end, and shaped into handles at the
other, so that bag containing scraps
can be squeezed between them with the
hands. This is hard work, but If they
are kept hot good deal of grease will
run out of them. The lard must then be
strained to take all the floating particles
out OF it, and it is quite well to heat it
slowly again until sure the water has all
been evaporated. Lard should never be
dipped out and put away to keep while
the melting is going on, and before the
scraps have become crisp and very
brown.-NeD York World.
