Subtle of a Horse.

A clear case Of equine suicide was wit
messed to-day on Fifteenth street in front
OF the Treasury. An overworked horse,
in the act of ascending the steep hill at
this place, fell 10 the ground overcome
by the heat. For some time he struggled
in weak, impotent agony and then the
driver, desisting in his efforts to get the
horse on bis feet for the purpose Of fin
ishing his WORK, sent off message to the
humane society for the animal ambu.
lance. BY the time tho ambulance ar
rived the horse was suffering most horri-
BILE tortures and was clearly attempting
to put an end to his misery aud his life
at the same time. There are but few
means of committing suicide at the dis
posal of the average horse, and this one
was no better off than the Others of his
class. He attempted to accomplish his
purpose, however, by smashing out lis
brains on the asphalt pavement. Rising
on his knees, he would dash his head
against the pavement with thwacS that
could be heard for half a square. Time
after time he repeated this, until those
standing near turned sick and faint.
They were powerless 10 aid the animal,
as his efforts to kill himself rendered him
dangerous in his savage temper, and soon
he was left to work out his own destruc-
ton.
1t was twenty minutes before the ami
NAL ambulance arrived, and when it did
the horse was nearly dead.
Agent Key, who was with the ambu-
lance, did what he could to aid the ami

write Caroline b. LIE Row in the Septem-
Der Ld4ies' Home Journal. There not
only the physical, but the nervous and
mental forces are taxed to their utmost.
The young graduate has hitherto gone to
school to SIT comfortably at her desk; TO
stand occasionally for recitations; to use
her voice but little; to have constant
variety in her work; to enjoy her recess
with perfect freedom and in congenial
companionship. As teacher she goes
to school to stand upon her feet all day
long; to use her voice necessarily, per
haps, too, in large room filled with the
tumult of the street; to keep noisy, and,
very likely, rebellious and diSooedIent
children not only quiet, but interested,
and to spend the recess in care of them
in the halls and the yard. Besides this
she is to stimulate their brains, and a
certain amount of tlme-usually pre-
scribed by a Board Of Education, the
members of which know little Of the ca
pacity and possibilities of the youthful
minds allotted her, in which she must,
somehow or other, succeed in teaching
them a certain number of iacts-no al
lowance being made for the slowness,
stupidity or disorder which increases the
friction of the work and delays the do
ing. No matter how complete the ed
ucatiou, or how enthusiastic the spirit,
the power for physical endurance is
absolutely necessary.

A LARGE Urea.

The Arlington Times says that the
largest tree in Snohomish County, Cal,
probably is a cedar which stands a little
way from the Kent's prairie and Stan-
wood road, about six miles from Airing
ton. A party of nine went down from
that place lately to satisfy themselves Of
the truth of what by them were regarded
as exaggerated reports Of its size. The
measurement taken shows it to be sixty
eight feet, being nearly twenty-three feet
in diameter. IL measured around the
roots and knotty protuberauces the tree
would likely measure nincty-nine feet.
The measurement was as close to the
body OF the tree as line could be drawn.
About seventy-ive feet from the ground
The tree forks into four immense
branches. Just below the forks is big
knothole, aud FIVE OF the party climbed
up and made an exploration OF the inside
of the tree, which is a mere shell, though
still green. They went down some forty
five feet in the tree, and claim that there
Is standing room for at least forty men
there. A peculiar feature which they
noticed was that the tree is barked en-
the inside the same as on the outside.

Flavoring butter with the odor Of fresh

chosen. Among the flowers which give
the most desirable results are clover and

Switzerland's Historical Procession.

The historical procession which was
the great feature Of the recent celebra-
ton of the seventh centenary of Berne,
Switzerland, was spectacle Of uncom-
mon magnifcence and picturesqueness.
No less than 1900 persons in costume
/ took part in IT, At the head were some
Red Dragons in the eighteenth century
costume, followed by en- allegorial group
representing Bernese history, art, and
science, surrounded by pages in the six
teenth century costume. Then came the
Zahringen group, including Duke Berch-
told V. and his spouse, attended by
knights OF St. John. The thirteenth
century was illustrated by the Savoyard
protcctorate of Berne, with Duke Peter,
the petit Charlemagne and Heinrich Won
Strattlingen, the poet of love, and the
Minuesingers, attended by company OF
Swiss archers. At the head OF the
group representing the fourteenth cen
fury was a car con .aining the benefactress
of Berne, followed by the chief characters
of the battle OF Laupen and OF the entry
of Berne into the confederation. The
entry of Sigismund into Berne was the
chief subject OF the fifteenth century
The King was gorgeous in red velvet and
crminc. He rode under a canopy OF
cloth of gold, and was surrounded By
the members Of his Court in magnificent
costumes of the period. These were
followed by heroes of the Swiss-Burgun-
dian wars. A scene from the Reforma-
ton, with the marriage Of Chief Magis-
trate Hans Steiger, marked the sixteenth
century. Then for the seventeenth GEN.
tury were heroes of the Thirty Years
War, with a descendant of the famous
General Erlach at their head, surrounded
by troops in Huguenot costume. Fol-
lowing were representatives of the trade
guilds of the period. At the head of the
eighteenth century group were companies
of old guards, followed by grenadiers,
artillery and students; aud, representing
the present time, there were cars and
groups devoted to displaying the features
of all the trades and industries OF Swift

THE FATTENING OF PIGS.

The most profitable manner Of feeding
pigs is to keep them constantly IN con-
dition for slaughter. The continu-
Gus growth thus made is the most profit
able. as all the food is turned to the
best use without any LOSE of time or
weight. The animal that is constantly
growing makes the most flesh in the
least time, and thus turns the food to the
most profitable use. a pig of nine
months may thus gain the same weight
as one of more than year, and the feed
ing over the winter is thus saved, with
a corresponding gain. By the best feed
ing the animal, if of a good breed, may
be made to reach weight of 800 pounds
in less than year, and without be-
ing FED over winter in which the food
is nearly all required to support it with
out adding to its weight. The best
breed for breeding for profit is probably
the Berkshire, but this depends some
what on the conditions and the locality.
1t is advisable in making business OF
feeding pork to keep the pigs on a clover
pasture through the summer and finish ca
high feeding with grain early in the
fall and before the cold weather. -NeD

MAIDS IN LIVERY.

Almost as great movement is in pro-
gress in England, in the slow and con-
sentative fashion of most movements over
here, as is the dress reform crusade
which is gathering force for its concerted
effort Oh this side the Atlantic. 1t is the
abolition of elaborate livery for men SER
wants, says the P:ttsburg Dispatch. For
generations the funky in padded calves,
powdered wig and silk small clothes has
been the correct adjunct to all we'll rcgu-
lated households of the upper class, and
his number in each household has been
in proportion to the Importance and
wealth of the family. Aud not only is
the gay livery going-the men them
selves are being put aside in favor OF
women. Many good families have entire
ly given up employing men servants, and
have parlor and waiting maids in their
stead. These wear a distinctive livery,
one lady putting her women in plain
gowns of gray, with red aprons, and
courier bags worn at the side; red caps
made like the white ones were also worn.
Another woman preserves the dark green
OF her mems liverieS for the maids, with
red caps and aprons. These are donned
after II o'clock, when the heavier work
of the day, cleaning, ETC., should be
over. For morning wear, black dresses
with white apron and caps are used. -

At Debretzin, IN Hungary, bread IS
made By the following process. with
out yeast: Two large handouts OF
hops are boiled in four quarts Of
water; this is poured upon as much
wheaton bran as 1t Will mOistcn, ami
to this are added four or Ave pounds
Of heaven. When this mass is warm
the several ingredients are worked
together till well mixed. 1t Is then
deposited in a warm place for twenty
four hours and afterwards divided
into small pieces about the size OF a
hens egg, which are dried by being
placed upon a board, and exposed to
a dry air, but not tC the sun; when
dry they are laid up for use and may
be kept six months. The ferment
thus prepared is applied in the fol-
lowing manner: For baking six
large loayes, six handouts Of those
balls are dissolved in seven or eight
quarts Of warm water; this water IS
poured through a Seiye into one end
Of the bread trough, and after 1t
three quarts of warm water. the re-
manning mass being well pressed out.
The liquor is mixed upwith sufficient
-four to form mass Of the size OF a
large loaf: this is strewed over with
-four, the sieve with its contents is
put upon It, and the whole Is covered
up warm and left till It has risen
enough and its surface begun TO
crack. This forms the leayen or
sponge. Fifteen quarts OF warm
water. in which six handfuls OF salt
have been dissolved, are then poured
upon 1t through the sieve; the nee
essary quantity Of -four is added, af-
ter the water and leaven or sponge is
well mixed, and the dough is then
well kneaded. This is left covered
up for half an hour or so in a warm
place. 1t is then formed into lOayes
and left another half-hour to prove,
before being placed in the oven,
where they remain from one or two
or three hours, according to their
size. The great advantage OF this
kind Of ferment is that it may be
made in large quantities at time
for use, and would be found conye-
nient for sea voyages, or for persons
living at a distance from any town,
and where yeast can not be readily
