How to Care for q frutter.

When the horse comes in from his
work rub him all over from his ears 70
his tail and down to his knees with wash
as near the temperature of his body as
possible. To make this wash take one
part alcohol, two parts pure witch hazel
and three or four times as much soft
water as the combined quantity of al
cohol and witch hazel. Every muscle
should be rubbed thoroughly. Throw a
medium weight blanket over the horse
now, and let him stand until you have
put the bandages on.
Use the same wash for the legs as for
the body, but have it cold. After put
ting the wash on the legs. rub them well
with the palm of the hand, always rub
bing down, never up. Put the bandages
on Immediately after the rubbing. Rub
all his heels perfectly dry with clean,
dry rags. Care should be taken in this,
as cracked heels are very stubborn and
often lay horse up for the season.
Throw the blanket back from the
head and scrape out all wash that re-
mains, most of it will have entered the
pores of the body; cover up his shout
ders and scrape the rest Of the body;
take clean, dry rag and rub him all
over lightly, always rubbing with the
hair as much as possible; now put o
light hood on him and an extra blanket
over his loins, and after looking at his
heels again walk him out for about five
then bring him in, and should
he have broken out any while walking
scrape him again lightly, after which
give him another light rubbing for say
four or five minutes, when he should
again be walked for about ten minutes,
and again taken in and rubbed slightly,
after which put on lighter blankets and
continue to reduce the weight as the
heat leaves the body.-Rider and Driver.

A Cure for Laziness.

A traveller in the course Of a morning
walk in Amsterdam came upon a group
gathered around a well, into which q
strongly built man had just been let
down. A pipe, whose mouth was at the
top of the well, had been opened, and n
stream of water from it was flowing into
the well and gradually filling it. The
man below had quite enough to do. if he
did not want to be drowned, to keep the
water out by means of pump which
was at the bottom of the well.
The traveller, plying the man, asked
for an explanation of what seemed to be
a cruel, heartless joke.
Sir" replied an old man standing
near, that fellow is, as you see, healthy
and strong. have myself offered him
work twenty times, but he always al
lows laziness to get the better of him,
and will make any excuse TO beg his
bread from door to door, though hs
might easily earn it if he chose.
1--WE are now trying TO make him real
ize that he must work. IL he uses the
strength that is in his arms he will b.
saved; il he lets them hang idle be will
be drowned. But look" continued the
old DutchInan as he went TO the edge Of
the well, ''the fellow finds cut that be
has muscles already; in an hour we shall
let him out with better resolutions for
the future"
The traveller watched until the man
was liberated from his watery prison.
and felt sure that az least temporary
cure had been efected.-Youth's Com

termine, glass was in use 2,O00 years be-
fore the birth of Christ, and was even

of means. In the Slade collection at the
British museum there is the head of q
lion nodded in glass. bearing the name
of an Egyptian king of the eleventh
dynasty. This is the Oldest specimen of
pure glass bearing anything like a date
now known to exist. The invention now
known as "bleezing," the mode of var
nishing pottery with thin finn of glass,
is believed to date back to the first Egyp
tan dynasty. Proof of this is found IN
the pottery beads, glass glazed, found in
the tombs of the age above referred to.
