Antiquity Of the Horse.

One Of the facts which the philo
logical theorists were surest of, was
that the horse was brought with
them into Europe by the first Aryan
immigrants from Asia. But, as Mr..
Taylor shows that the Aryans did
not from Asia, it is easy to sup
posed that they did not bring the
horse with them from Asia. "The
Latin name equus is common to all
the Aryan languages. But recent
archaeological discoveries have
shown that the common name must
have referred to the wild horse which
roamed in immense herds over En-
rope, and formed the chief food Of
the pal@olithic hunters" In view
of this fact the movement among
a branch of the paleoelectric Gauls
to return to the horse as food is
one OF the most striking cases of re-
version known in the life of the race.

1t has been suggested by French
exchange that, in order to insure
greater strength and consequently
more safety in ropes for scafolding
purposes, particularly in localities
where the atmosphere is Obstructive
of hemp fiber, such ropes should
be dipped when dry, into bath con-
tanning twenty grains of sulphate OF
copper per liter of water, and keep
in soak in this solution some four
days, afterward being dried. The
ropes will thus have absorbed GER
tain quantity of sulphate of copper,
which will preserve them for some
time both from the attacks Of animal
parasites and from rot.
The copper salt may be fixed in
the fibers by coating of tar or by
soapy water, and in order to do this
it may be passed through a bath OF
boiled tar, hot, drawing it through a
thimble to press back the access of
tar, and, suspending it afterward
on a staging to dry and harden. In
a second method the rope is soaked
in solution of 100 grammes of soap
per liter of water. The copper soap
thus formed in the fiber of the rope
is stated to preserve it even better
than tar is capable of doing, which
acts mechanically to imprison the
sulphate of copper, which is the real
preservative in the case.

FASHION NOTES.

Feather plush is a novel garniture
of the autumn.
Velvet calf is exceedingly popular
for ladies' hand bags and purses.
Earrings with drops are beginning
TO be seen again, but the fancy for
any species of this ornament is on
the wane.
1t is surmized that Fur of which
some shoulder capes are made comes
from animals rot yet mentioned in
natural history.
Street dresses are from one to two
inches on the ground, which shows
how fashions repeat themselves in
skirts as in every thing else.
Colored glass beads are sewed as
embroidery on the front of evening
dresses and at the sides. Gaslight
is supposed to enhance the effect.
You will find short, white India
silk or mousseline de sole gown USE
full for affairs to which you do not
care to wear train. These dresses
are dainty when trimmed with knots
of flowers.
The dressmaker's skill or art is
shown to-day in the way she fits
princess gown, and when one able to
hide all evidences of the way to get
into such frock she feels that the
acme of success is attained.
An odd and novel street dress is
made of striped camel's hair, with
broad lace founce on the bottom. 1t
it finished with velvet to match at
the top of the sleeves, and set in at
the neck. The trimming is passe-
msnteria Of cats eyes.
Dress collars are not so high as
they have been, and are rounded
away in front. and may have a puff
of mousseline, like widows rouche,
above it, or else lace ruffie OF its
own width gathered inside the top
and falling low upon it.
Decidedly the most stylish among
feather trimmings for evening dress
es and opera cloaks are ostrich COM
bined with marabout. The white
ecru trimmings are exquisitely per-
feet, so soft and fluffy, but with
stronger characteristics than mara
bout.
Feather stitching, light embroid-
cry wrought on silk, or insertions of
flmy lace, either black or white, do
not add to bulk or weight, and the
entire absence of weight is one of
the greatest recommendation of the
petticoat of to day, which some per-
sons are declaring is seeing its last
days.

His First Ice Cream.

Abner Dungrass, from away up
beyond the White Mountains, had
penetrated toithe Hub. 1t wss Alb
ner's first visit to the city-in fact,
his first trip from home.
A relative doing business in the
metropolis had spent the previous
summer with Abner's parents, aud in
return for many kindnesses, he had
invited his friends of the country
farm to visit him in his city home.
And thus Abner CHANGED to be in
Boston, and was now dining at a ho-
tel with his host.
At first our countryman hardly
knew what to do with himself at the
wondrously laden table. His relative,
observing his hesitation, whispered
to him:
Don't be backward, Abner, help
yourself to just what you ike"
By and by, gentleman sitting
opposite directed waiter to bring
him plate of ice cream.
The cream was brought and the
gentleman set it down before him
while he finished dish of scallops.
Abner looked up and saw the deli
cate looking mass in the plate not
far away. 1t was tempting, and he
reached forth and took it. lie had
put spoonful of the frozen mixture
into his mouth, and was hesitating
between surprise and delight, when
the gentleman opposite rather alb
ruptly and not very pleasantly spoke:
"Well, my friend, that's what
call decidedly cool! !"
"Yaas," responded Abner, inno-
Gently, when he had swallowed
frigid morsel. "It's about the cool
est pudd'n' I ever tasted swan to

HINTS TO FARMERS.

Did you ever notice how much

Poor cattle decline in value. If
you want to raise cattle to sell, raise
good ones. If you are in the bust
ness for fun, and raise cattle to give
away, it doesn'tmatter how poor they
are.
Cream will rise quicker if tie
mix has been thlnned with water
warmed to ITO degrees. This is es-
pecially important in winter, when
milk is apt to become thicker and
somewhat vlscad.
When large turkeys are wanted,
both the gobbler and the hen should
be of a good size and possess tho
qualities desired In the offspring.
Using large gobbler with small
hens will not produce the best results.
Good tools and a plentiful supply
OF them are en- essential on the farm.
Choice work cannot be done with
old half ruined tools. Keep the tools
under cover out of season and give
the woodwork cat of paint every
year. Scour and oil all polished iron
work such as plows, cultivators and
hoes.

This keeps the blood moving, and
health is usually good when the point
is observed. The corn and other
grain should be thrown among the
litter, thus making them hunt for
what food they obtain.
There is no time spent IN the
stables in winter that pays better
return than cutting the hay and fod-
der for the stock. A vast sort of
waste is saved and the feeding value
of the provender is very greatly in
creased. A correspondent of the
New England Homestead says he es-
Inmates that his cutter saved him

fodder was saved on his farm over
