A Point in Horseshoeing. Many

expert veterinarians that though a

of the hoof causes no pain, yet If the
nail is clinched on the hOof with a
hammer it induces pain, and frequent
ly lameness. This arises from irrita-

TO most persons, "Old Mother
Goose" is as much a creature the hu-
man Imagination as Cinderella. The
facl that she is as much a historical
character rs Martha Washington or
Molly Starke will come with thrill
of surprise to those who have been ac-
customed to regard her as companion
shade of Jack the Giant Killer. Not
only was she real living woman, but
she lived in Boston, where her long
neglected grave has just been found.
The discoverer. who, by the way, is
not Bostonian, says: "It seems
strange that Bostonians, who are so
intensely patriotic, could have allowed
to fall into oblivion the resting place of
their first poetess. Browning, their
favorite, has never produced a volume
which will be read so widely or be so
productive of as much genuine enjoy

Faithful In That Which is Least
Be faithful in little things. Delude
not yourselves with the idea that you
can be uncertain and untrue in trifles
and yet be reliable and trustworthy in
great matters. Trifies make up your
life and are the ultimate test of tidel-
ity. The best will cannot ripen into
permanent greatness when the fearful
power Of negligent habit in trivial
things has given bent and character to
the soul. Gods laws are not broken
with impunity. Character is not con-
stituted by a brilliant dash now and
then, but is what we make it by the
use of our powers in the routine af-
fairs of current life. Only those who
are faithful in the few things of COM
mon life are to rule over many things
in the exalted stations of the heaven
y realms.

The Care of Books.

Children should early be taught
care of a book. A very little child cal
understand that book must not be
thrown OH the floor, or torn, or bent
backward, or maltreated in the fifty
small ways in which children are per-
mitted to abuse books. Such children
are due quite as much to Ignorance as
to carelessness on the part of parents
Those who have no interest or aflec.
ton for books themselves are not like
ly to expect it from their children, A
reverence for books is part Of the
love one bears them, and people who
have been brought up in an atnos,
phere of books, or who spend much
time in reading or study, will ratur.
ally handle book respectfully them.
selves, and insist that their children
shall do likewise.
There is much negligence shown in
the matter of returning borrowed
books, and this often by persons o
whom one would expect better things
For months after book is read it is
allowed to lie about the house, and nc
special effort is made to return it to its
owner. That u book should he re.
turned as soon as read, just us particrl'
Iarly rs ane would return tool after
using it, or Il garment after wearing it,
would appear to 60 without saying,
Yet it is not always the case. And il
is right to insist that our children
shall be as exact in this respect; that
they shall, after borrowing book,
cover it neatly-if it be nicely bound
one-treat it carefully while in Their
possession, and return it promptly
when finished. Not only is this sim.
pie justice to the owner, but such
teaching will go far toward making q
child particular..about the property OF
others.

Between the three, the poor horse has

A cow may be fed too much, but
this fault is not common one, nor a
crying danger. Every cow giving
milk should be fed enough to show
that she is not thin in flesh, nor in any
way lacking in physical comfort. She
should be fat enough to make fair
beef, but not Of that high grade that
butchers consider as first-class meat.
Systematic and regular times for
feeding are the keys to successful
poultry farming. Have fixed hour
at which to feed, and feed at that time,
day after day.
Dry saw-dust makes an excellent
litter for the floor Of the poultry house
but straw is preferable, ifcut into con-
venient lengths. Scatter all grain
feed in this, and make the towels,
scratch forit.
You may inbred your towels to a
certain extent, but the majority of
poultry keepers had much better steer
clear of it. Add fresh blood each wear

Rowland Hill said of one of his
books, the publication of which was
one of the mistakes of his life: "I
wish could buy it up" But money
so powerful in other departments,
could give no aid in the presence of
one of lhe most humiliating and dis
tressful mistakes of life. The des-
pairing appeal, II wish I could buy it

in the presence of our shameful and
distressing mistakes, only adds to our
hopeless grief.

NORWOOD FOR GOVERNOR.

The third party people evidently feel
kindly toward Hon. Thomas NJ Norwood
Although he is not formally identified with
their cause he Is known to sympathizs with
some of the objects for which the members
OF the infant political organization are striv-

times as believing that they have cause for
grievance and that the third party must
become and continue an important political
factor.
All this has won for him a spot In the
hearts of the Peoples party men, aud Of
late these statements have found expression
In the party's recognized organ in sugKes-

OF these suggestions taken from the Hines

We present the name OF Hon. Thomas
NJ. Norwood as a suitable candidate for
governor. He is emphstically a man of the
people-having always been the foe to
trusts and monopolies. His record has been
pure and spotless. His career in the Senate
marked him as bne of the thinkers Of the
age, and his mAtchless orations we're the

and logic equaled that of Calhoun.

Plutocracy first proclaimed the evils of
the age and the power of the money kings
IN the halls of legislation. We believe he
substantially indorses the st. Louis plat
form; while he may differ as TO the details
of 1t. he agrees in essentials. We believe he
will stand squarely upon the principles
therein embodied-hence we present his
name to the consideration of the people OF
Georgia as a suitable candidate for the chief
mAgistracy of the state"

iron bridge has recently been erected there

the constructions Of the drainage canal which
is to be dug through Pipemakers swamp
