Recreation ON the Deep.

A large brick was heated to red head
in the galley fire and piece Of ashes
tos packing was wrapped around it as
quickly as possible The brick with
its covering was incased in a piece OF
pork that was tossed overheard, along
with several other morsels which the
sharks were made ready 10 devour,
and il had no sooner touched the
water than il was swallowed II took
a few minutes for the heat TO come
through its covering of asbestos and
pork, and during those few minutes
the shark swan among his compan-
ions and attracted no special atten-
ton. But very soon his movements
showed the pain he was feeling; he
darted violently about, sprang out OF
the water. dived, rose again aud was
evidently suffering intensely. This
continued for perhaps half an hour,
and ended with the creature turning
on his back and dying in the most hor-
rible contortions. The other sharks
showed their tender feelings by at
lacking him before he was fairly dead |;
they had no computations about eat
ing him, or at any rate displayed
none, for he was devoured before our
eyes, to the great delight OF the sail

A Plnckx IIitla R.lInu.

A little boy, only s years old, the
son of laborer named Malbarxy, liv-
ing at Francesdnest. was sent by his
mother TO fetch loaf from the bakers
on the opposite side OF the railway.
On his return, when passing level
crossing near the Farretimes station.
he saw train approaching. and in his
hurry stumbled and fell. He never
theless had the presence Of mind to
fall into the space between the rails
and the sleepers. Unhappily, the
clearing iron caught his blouse and
dragged him along till the train stop
ped at the station; the wheels had
meanwhile passed over one of his
arms and cut il nearly off When he
was set free, looking at his mangled
arm, he said: pray do not tell moth
err and he asked the bystanders to
fetch his loaf, 1t was found necessary
TO cut off the arm, and though tho
chloroform did not make him insensi.
BILE, he bore the operation with the ut
most courage, and only asked once or
twice If the surgeons would soon have
done. His arm soon healed, aud the
little fellow returned to school as gay
and as cheerful as his companions. =

WASTEFUL METHODS.

Farmers waste more than any
otter class of business men. Why
is it? Farmer c. is going to market
with iourty pounds Of butter to day.
Will he carry anything eis,? No,
he can't bother to day. To be sure,
there is more pieplant and asparagus
than the family can eat; they might
bring 81. so to s., but he doesn't
care to fuss for that. Then a little
later come strawberries, but he can
give away what the family doesn't t
want if the neighbor will pick them
themselves. As for early peas the
are hardly enough to pay for tussing
with them. He might pick three
pecks at As cents, but they soon
spoil or the birds carry them off.
The grocer tells him he will take all
the sweet corn he viii, bring and pay
for what he sells, while he can take
the remainder home to feed to the
pigs. There are a dollar or two
extra and he can carry it as we'll as
not when he goes to market with
butter and eggs; but it's a bother,
anyway. 1t is the same at harvest
time. If he cannot spare more than
a couple of barrels of apples, or five
bushels OF potatoes, Or two dozen
cabbages, squashes, ETC., he does
not bother 10 find market for SO
small quantity, and perhaps he
puts several dollars worth of veget-
ables that he has no use for into the
cellar simply because he doesn't
take the trouble to sell them.
Now, l fancy hear some man
say: THE potatoes, ETC., are worth
something to feed to live stock in
winter" Does he feel them? Gen
orally they remain In the cellar until
February or March, when he carries
out decayed cabbages. apples, ETC.;
and the potatoes have shriveled
until he thinks he'll let them go until
planting time, for he may need most
OF them.
A mer chant often spends more
lime in selling so or even IS cents
worth Of his stock, than in selling a
s15 dress pattern. We say that is
his business 1t is farmers bus
mess to try TO sell all his stock in
stead of letting it waste. A penny
saved in farming is worth as much
as in any other business. In the
largest business establishments if a
bookkeeper's accounts fall short
few cents, he often spends hours of
valuable time trying to find out
where the error lies. A farmer
needs to calculate as closely as any
other business man in order to be
successful. But does he always do
it2

TRAINING A HORSE.

A horse should never be deceived
by word or action. When a rider or
driver pulls the reins and says whoa,
he should mean it and stick to it. But
to cry whoa, jerk the reins and lash
the horse at the same time is confus-
ing and means nothing. II is quite
common to say whoa when it is only
intended to 60 slower, or when the
horse has not stirred foot, to let him
know of your presence. One day when
your life depend upon a whoa you will
find that your horse is not stopped by
it because you have entirely played it
out OF him. Speak always in natural
tone of voice under all circumstances.
Always let your horse face the object
of his fear, and when frightened re-
member the slower you move your
horse the more power you have over
hlm.-There are times when letting
horse trot is almost as bad as letting
him run away. Fear is something a
horseman should never exhibit in his
countenance or voice, as the horse is
a close observer and soon learns to
take advantage of such indications to
become careless of control, If not in
deed aggressive. Let your lessons be
thorough, but not very long. Be gen.
tie and patient with the colt, but make
the willful, stubborn horse feel the full
extent of your power until he sub
mits.
The way to educate horse not to
be afraid of things is to get him used
to them by bringing him into frequent
contact with them. If the horse is
afraid of the report of firearms, just
throw him down and fire off a pistol
over him. Whenever he makes a.mn->
ton to get up pull the strap that holds
HIM down and fire off the pistol again.
This can be repeated, and lesson
should last thirty or forty minutes.
The next dav give him another lesson,
and in about three days the horse will
pay no attention to the discharge of
firearms. Another cause of trouble is
restiveness, which comes from bad
handling and from a too eager disposi.
ton. 1t tells of nervousness or 1m-
patience which develops easily into a
multitude OF vices, such as rearing,
boiling, baking, and even viclousness
in shoeing when badly handled. The
restiye horse can easily be made an
inveterate baker. 1t is difficult to
cure when it becomes confirmed
vice. Gentleness and patient frmness
of the trainer must cure and prevent.
Many an ambitious horse in ever ready
to start unless he has taught never to
start until the word is given. 1t is easy
to train the average horse not to start
unless the lines are drawn and the
word given. Horses are less to blame
than drivers for the habit of starting
too soon.-kansas Farmer.

THE ART OF COOKING HAM.

Do tell me just how r. Cook a ham,
said an 'i :-,as ssss ssasss!.a2sE ~
friend who was noted for b. lNs
knowledge. have lookeSulinafs
cook books, and can find lou'
plain and simple enough for my Yp,se
to follow. They all assume that
ham is boiled or half boiled when /.
proceed to treat it in more elabora.,
fashion, and | have not an idea how
to begin. 1 have bought my ham-l
know enough for that, and l know
what are the best hams in the market.
Now, begin and tell me just what to
do with it until it is ready to serve cold
on the table.
1t is very simple, said her friend
Quotes the New York zr16uue), but
1 know it is as you say it is just the
simple, obvious knowledge that it is
hardest to find written rules for. First,
soak your ham all night in water, which
should cover it entirely. Then set it
on the fire to boil. The rule for boil
ing ham is fifteen minutes to each
pound, SO you can easily tell by weigh
ing it the exact length of time that will
be necessary to cook it. When it is
half boiled change the water, and to
the last boiling add cupful of mo-
lasses. When it is cold enough, skin
it and put it in the oven to bake until
the whole Is nicely Drowned. Some
people sprinkle before putting it in the
oven with brown sugar which forms a
sort OF glaze.
This is the simplest way of cooking
a ham, and there is none better, in my
estimation; but there are all sorts of facts
about what will give it various pecu-
liar flavors, and many are the sugges-
tions for the last boiling. Some epi-
cures COOK it in champagne just at the
last, others in beer many lard it with
cloves. An old Southern cook l once
had way OF covering the whole ham
after it was skinned with dough paste
made of -four and water, and then put
ting it in the oven to bake. This, she
claimed, confined all the juices to the
ham, and the results she obtained were
certainly delicious.
