Hope for Him.

How often do we hear parent say
of a mischievous boy: II would not
mind so much il | could only believe
him" Whatever his other traits,
truth is essentially the touchstone Of
a boys character. The following case
in point appears in the Christian
Leader:
II don't know that you will be able
to do much with him, said a father
to the principal OF q school, to whom
he had brought his son as pupil, che
is so full OF mischief"
''Does he tell the truth?p asked the
principal. "Can always depend upon
his word?"
ooh, yes" said the father, che is
honest, he will tell the truth, even
when it is against himself; you may
depend upon that"
"Then we can manage him" said
the principal. "He will make o relia.
BILE, manly man."

Mule or Horse Colts.

Many thoroughbred mares are
mated to jacks in Kentucky. and aft
erward they are bred to horses, but
most breeders are agreed that the
first sire affects the blood of the dam
and that frequently--especiaTly il the
jack be Maltese-the stripes on the
legs and the dark OF the shoulders ap.
pear in the colts. So much for looks,
1t is also true that sometimes the evil
dences OF the former mating with
jack are not found. / have myself
seen a pair Of dark bay coach horses,
the ofFspringof dam that has raised
mule colt, showing no signs Of
stripes or off color, but we know that
there are exceptions to almost any
rule.
THE AGE AT WHICH no BREED.
A mare should be governed by cir
cumstances. Any animal used for re-
production should be mature A mare
at 2 years old is not mature. II de-
sirable, q mare can be bred at A years,
so that she drops her foal at s. Then
we may look for a fine colt. II she be
very large and there is reason for
stunning her growth, she may be bred

in a hurry. We want to see results.

win vs. Circumstances.

A writer in the New England Farm.
err makes the following interesting
comments concerning the power Of
will over circumstances.
Last summer | CHANGED to find an
old schoolbook which probably had
never been opened since its owner, 2
girl student, died forty years ago
The book was filed with loose sheets
of paper, covered with hand writing.
uniform and beautiful. There were
drawings of plants and their separate
leaves and flowers; there were carefully
written notes OF lectures; copies oil
poems which were fresh then, but have
now become standard selections
Some difficult mathematical problems
were also worked out, and the whole
was the work OF an earnest student.
My conclusion was, as | Eeverently
laid aside the book, that will is
stronger than circumstances.
The high-school girl of to-day, bright
as she is, cannot show better work
than this New England farmers
daughter, ofwhat our girls would tern

so recently as 1870, of the species in
China was extremely interesting.
Nevertheless, the Chinese classics con-
tain numerous references to the Great.
ure, and even pictures, which could be
easily recognized as being meant for n
crocodile of some sort. 1t is to be
hoped that the specimens at the Zoo
will bear out the notion ofthe extreme
longevity of the reptile. It's name is
apparently used in certain parts OF
China in the same sense as Methusaleh
in this country. Marco Polo wrote
about this animal, and recommended
its gall as an excellent remedy for the
bite OF a mad dog and various other
complaints, so that it seems to have
been the medieval equivalent OF some
OF our much advertised remedies OF the
present day. Curiously enough, the
beast is even now made use OF In
Chinese medicine.

Prof. A. II. Church, in recent

grain. He advises that it be applied
in the following way; A ball OF tow is
tied to a stick OF such a length that
ii can reach the middle OF vessel
containing the grain. The tow re,
ceiyes the charge of bi-sulphide, like
sponge, and is then at once plunged in.
to the vessel and left there, the mouth
or opening OF the vessel then being
tightly closed. When necessary, the
stick may be- withdrawn and the
charge(of one ounce TO 100 pounds OF
grain) may be renewed. The action OF
carbon bi,sulphide lasts in ordinary
cases six weeks, after which period 4
fresh charge is required. The bi.
sulphide does no harm 20 the grain as
