Il have kept and driven horses now for
nearly forty years, and never owned or used
a whip. | never knew a case in which a
hired man Of mine ever used whip with
any necessity or advantage. have known
more horses spoiled by whipping than
have been usefully disciplined by it, and
cannot believe that a whip is ever required
excepting to cure the faults created by it,
use chiefly, or other bad management.
There may be times when horse has to
be urged to the very verge of his power,
but nothing is gained and much is lost by
continually fretting and overworking
horses by the use of the lash. 1t is cruel
and therefore wicked. because cruelty is
one of the principal characteristics of a
vicinns mar. M-SeIected

CuItiyatiDg Corn.

As it has been satisfactorily proved
that porous soil surface is not only more
absorbent to moisture and more retentive
of it as well, it should be remembered aud
applied in regard to the early cultivation
on the corn and other crops. The first cuI-
tivation may be given two Or three days
after planting, and by a light smoothing
harrow run light over the corn. If the
corn is planted three inches deep, as it
should be, the seed will not be disturbed :;
but the appearance of the plants will be
fastened by two or three days. The weeds
will be destroyed at their most effective
time, when they are terminating, and
when exposure to an hour 5 sun viii be fatal
to them.

It is wise to keep all the female lambs
that were from ewes bearing twins. 1t
has been demonstrated in Europe that by
selecting the eve lambs from the most

stock can be increased. 1t is even suggest
ed that where twins or tripIets are drop

be kept, as selection in taat direction is
advantageous also.

CHAPTER. w

AN EXPLORATION OF THE COAST-BRIAN
AND GORDON IN THE FoREsT-A VAIN AT
TEMPT TO DISCOVER A CAyE-AN INyEN-
TORY OF STORES, PROVISIONS, ARMS, ANE
CLOTHING-THE FIRST BREAKFAST ANE
THE FIRST NIGHT ON SHORE.
The coast was deserted, as Brian had
perceived from his post OF observation on
the foremost. The schooner had been ly-
ing in its sandy bed on the beach for more
than an hour now, and no native had yet
been seen; nor beneath the trees, nor on
the banks of the river was there any sign
of human habitation. There We're no
footprints on the sand, no fshing-boats
at the mouth of the little river
eve are on land again, and that is some
thing" remarked Gordon. But what
place can this be which seems SO entirely
uninhabted."
1.-The important thing, after all, is that
It is not uninhabitable," replied Brian.
I'VE have sufficient provisions and am
muntion to last us some time. All we
need is a shelter, and we must find that
without delay-at least for the little ones.
They must be our first thought now"
Yes, you are right" responded Gordon.
CAS- for finding out where we are" re
sumed Brian, ''it will be time enough foI
that after we have provided for our most
pressing needs. If this is a continent,
there will be some chance Of our receiv-
ing succor sooner or later. If it should
prove to be an island-au uninhabited is
land All, well, we will see! Come,
Gordon, let US start on an exploring expe-
dition."
The two boys walked briskly toward
the wood that stretched obliquely between
the cliff and the right bank of the river
three or four hundred yards from its
mouth.
In this wood there was no trace of the
presence of man-no clearing, not even q
foot-path. Several large trees, which had
fallen from old age, were lying on the
ground; and Brian and Gordon were
obliged to wade through a carpet of dead
leaves that reached to their knees; but
they noticed that the birds few frightened
away as if they had already learned TO dis
trust human beings; hence it was probable
that this coast, even if not inhabited, had
oeen quite rece ltly visited by the residents
Of some neighhOring locality.

This was the frequent story of circus life
a quarter Of a century ago. 1t is also 10
some extent the story of circus life today,
for in place of the small a-ggregations that
were crushed out or purchased by the Ma
poleons of showdom numerous others have
come into existence during the last twelve
months. One of these, known as Wallace's
circus, had a tough time OF it not long ago at
Mahanoy City, Pa. A lot of ticketless peo-
pie tried to force their way into the evening
entertainment. The doorkeepers resisted,
and were ~overpowered. On gaining ad-
mission the rioters attacked the performers,
and went so far as to seize one of the fe-
male members Of the company and drag
her about the ring. The usual battle fol
lowed 1t grew 50 fierce lat the showmen
threw away their clubs and brought their
pistols and guns into use. They fired at
least fifty shots, drove the crowd back and
made their way to the depot. Some stood
guard while the others loaded the train.
As the last employee jumped aboard the
crowdm made a fresh rush, but were stood
of" with Wholesalers, and the engineer
pulled u to the music of rifle balls and
the disagreeable whiz of bulkier but less
deadly missiles. A dozen townsmen were
wounded, at least three seriously. The cas-.
ualties among the visitors are not known.
