A ROOSTER HORSE tanner.
How Poor Hindu Fakir Overcamc a
Vicious Stallion.

How Poor Hindu Fakir Overcamc
Vicious Stallion.
Hindus are very.skillful in tanning wild
animals and snakes, and an incident
was related the other day by an Indian
traveller Of how an Indian fakir tanned
in few minutes a refractory horse
that no one else could manage.
The horse in question was a full
bloodcd stallion, belonging to one OF
the Rajahs who had bought him for
%, 900 rupees. The animals favorite
trick was to run backward when any
one mounted him, and no amount of
squirting or whipping could make
him. go in the direction that a good
horse should go Many famed horse
tanners were hired to cure the horse of
this disgracefuI trick, but none sue
ceeded. The Rajah offered $500 to any
one who should break the horse of his
bad habit.
An English officer who was ac-
quainted with the Rajah told him that
he knew a common falSir who was of a
very inventive turn of mind, and ad-
vised him to give the fellow trial
The fakir was sent for, and appointed a
day on which he said he would posi-
lively cure the horse of all bad tricks
The Rajah, with a number of officers
! and retainers, went to witness the tam
ing. The tricky horse was handsomely
caparisoned, but the fakir made his ap-
! pearance in his everyday dilapidated
| clothes, that We're dirty, as usual, for
he had no others. BY his side walked
ragged boy carrying a bag with
something in it. The fakir said few
words to the boy and then leaped upon
the horses back with the agility of a
monkey. The horse Immediately began
running backward. Everybody was
! wondering what the fakir could do,
when suddenly the boy thrust his hand
| into the bag and brought eut a wild,
vicious-looking rooster with spurs three
inches in length. Quick as a flash the
| boy fastened the fowl to the horses
tail and then the fun began. The
rooster put in some fine work with his
spurs and cackled and screeched as
! loud as he could. The horse was evi
dently surprised First he stopped, ane
then tried to catch the rooster, as 8
kitten does it's tail, by turning round
and round. The fakir held on like q
| leech.
Finding this did not succeed, the
| horse started on run straight ahead
! just rs would dog with tir can at
tached to his cau6al appsndage. The
stallion had been conquered That one
lesson was sufficient, and he never
tried 80 run backward again. N y

The other day he returned. He stood
again in his native village. He found
the can where he had hid it. He pro-
cured pint of milk. He went to his
old familiar hoyhood's home, entered
and in hesitating and trembling voice
said: Father and mother here's your
milk" He was given a warm welcome,
but he noticed there was a change in
his parents appearance: they had not
the old familiar look. He questioned
them: explanations followed. The young
man discovered that, though the good
people were still his parents, the change
in their personal appearance was easily
accounted for. Shortly after his sudden
and mysterious departure from home,
his father died and his mother married
again Then his mother died and his
new father married again.
Thus on his return the wandering boy

THE MOTHERS WORK.
Her Love is Not to Be Measured BY tn
Number of Stitches She Takes.

Her Love is Not to Be Measured BY the
Number of Stitches She Takes.
We notice an article on home dress
making in one of our family journals,
the advice to mothers to cultivate the
art of hand sewing, especially on chill
dren's clothing. One reason given for
this is that no decoration is SO fashion
able and suitable as the stitches placed
by mother. Then the statement is
made, 1--WE are all apt to sew in great
amb bilious and loving wishes, and isn't
it possible there may be greater hope
for all we pray for coming to the little
people if work and devotion are COM
bined?''
We really think no sensible woman
| will, after moments thought, be dis
turbed by such remarks as this. But
| there may be some young mothers who
| may be striving to so plan their work
and sewing that they may have some
time left for other things. Just when
this has been accomplished by dispens-
ing with little trimming here, making
the children's dresses by palmer pat
| tern, so the work can be done on a ma.
chine instead of by hand, she comes
| across the article referred to. Her
heart sinks. Every mother likes to see
her children daintily and appropriately
dressed. But to have this, she must
put hand work on them, feather-stitch-
| ing, EN- broidery, etc, we suppose
We should like to be informed also
wherein exists the superiority of ambi
tious and loving wishes laboriously
worked in by weary hands over those
which kept time to the swift motion OF
the treadle of the sewing machine.
| Is, then, ones love and interest to be
measured by the amount of work put
upon the children's garments and not by
the tender care and watchfulness, the
sympathy with their pursuits, their dis.
appointments and successes? Women
and mothers of the present generation
have many Of them learned that these
things are more important than the ex.
ira ruffie on the dress or the extra finish
of hand work on the little garments
If time and strength are lacking to ac
complish both, the latter and not the
former is the one to be neglected, anc
the children themselves, as they grow
older, will be the first to acknowledge
this.
Let no one, then, be discouraged b,
articles which would persuade us tina,
our children can not be properly ydresset
or cared for unless certain mum ber o
stitches are taken and certain mode
followed. Circumstances alter case
and no one can be judge for another
Only let us be sure that the more i'm
portant things of life are not overlooke,
while our attention is given to thos
which are not to be neglected entirely
but only given their proper share.-

SHETLAND PONIES.
Our Little Park Pets Are Not the Real

Our Little Park Pets Are Not the Real
Thing.
The conventional Shetland pony.
the animal represented in picture-books
namely, about forty to forty-four
inches high, very tight-jointed, and
with an impossible growth OF hair all
over him, is just about as bad a type of
this famous race as can well be imag-
ined. From his build he is generally
short-winded and thoroughly imprac-
ticable in his PAGES. A South Main-
land specimen, on the other hand, long
and rakish in build-hard-grown as
the saying is-and clean-limbed, will
far surpass his companion in staying
power One of this hardy breed-in
our opinion the ideal Shetland pony
has been known to travel from Sum-
burgh to Lerwick and back the same
day, with to1erably heavy riding
weight, say ifty-six miles altogether of
extremely hilly road. But, minor diff
ferences apart, there are certain char
acteristics-unfailing tests in their way
with the experienced judge-which go
to the makeup" of a Shetland, as distin-
| guished from an Iceland or Farce, pony
t-e. G., certain unmistakable breadth
of build, set of pasterns, and, more
particularly, an apathetic air which no
| other breed possesses. Your ''Sheltie"
is not quick animal, is inclined to be
sleepy rather than otherwise in his
PAGES, and is, as rule, disposed to do
no more than he can help in the way of
exertion, though if put to it, he evinces
great power of endurance, and will go
through an immense amount of work
for his size. The Iceland variety is al
together inferior, short-lived, narrower
| in build and generally fallaciouS but
with all this, he is quicker, livelier, and
lacks that air of pensive melancholy
which haunts every Shetland pony.
Our advice is to avoid the inferior ami
NAL, however highly recommended.
Their price is, roughly speaking, about
half that of the Shetlander, but the
money is ill-saved. The average life Of
an Icelander is about twelve or thirteen
years, while the other will live to
twenty-five or even mers>" Oar
