BEEcHER AND HORSES.
The Noted Divine Would Drive Only tn
hest

The Noted Divine Would Drive Only tho
Mr.. Beecher was extremely fond of
horses, and as soon as he felt he could
afford it he bought only the best. AS
his family all had very decided tastes in
the same direction, nothing gave him
greater pleasure than to indulge them
in the full enj njoyment of it, either by
long rides with US all. or sending the
children off with young friends who
were very happy to share in these
country pleasures, and who never had
cause to doubt hearty welcome from
the head of the family. Mr.. Beecher
was skillful and fearless in managing
his spirited horses but never reckless.
Both at the west, and after we came
north, we have experienced many
startling adventures. and some which
might be termed hair breadth escapes,
but never knew him to lose his own
self-control or the control of his horses,
and only once knew him to acl<nowl-
edge he was frightened.
1t was while we were in Lenox. We
had large, gray hors,, and started for
a fine ride, which at the close was to
take us through Lee and back to Lenox.
There was railroad track-just as we
entered the town-which run through
a ravine between two steep. rocky
cliffs, so high as to shut out
the site of the cars, and with
the noise of teams in that busy
little village, almost to prevent hear
ing them. For that reason it was most
decidedly important that the whistle
should be blown. We rode into the
village did our errands at the store,
and then started to cross the track. but
listened a moment to learn if the train
was near. We heard no sound, no
whistle was blown, and we went on;
but just as the horses feet almost
touched the rail the train rushed round
that hidden curve and was directly
upon us. The horse reared up SO close
to the cars that had he put down his
fore feet they would have dashed
through the windows. So he stood till
the last car had passed, then fell to the
ground as if in dead faint. The per-
spiration rained off the poor beast until
the earth around him was wet as If a
shower had passed over. Many men
sprang forward to help, but turning
toward me. Mr. Beecher saw 1 was
near fainting. I had been i'll and was
very weak He came to me immedi-
atcly with a glass of water. l told him
I was ashamed of such weakne ss-but
that was greatly frightened.
"Frightened-' he replied. why,
was never so frightened in my life"
"Humph," muttered one of the men
helping us. ''If you were frightened
you have a mighty cool way of show
ing it"
And thought so, too Ladies Home

The Early Home.

1t has been said, The fireside is a
seminary of infinite Importance" Few
can receive the honors of a college, but
all are graduates of the home Tho
learning of the university may fade
from the recollection, its classic lore
NAV moulder in the halls of memory,
but the simple lessons of home inn
pressed upon the heart of childhood,
defy the rust of years, and outlive the
more mature but less vivid pictures of
nfter years Those of you who are
best acquainted with the world, or
who have read most extensively the
histories of men, will allow that, in the
formation of character, the most tell
ing influence is the early home. 1t is
that home which often in childhood
has formed beforehand our most famous
scholars, our most celebrated heroes,
our most devoted missionaries, and, in
deed, the faithful toilers in all worthy
vocations. Banner OF Gold.

WILL BE WORN IN THE SPRING.

Something About tho New Wraps That
Will Appear with the Crocuses-
Long jackets have undoubtedly come
to stay. 1t seems to be unquestion.
able that people who are buying or
making short jackets are making q
serious mistake. The long jacket is a
garment for the season, and for seasons
to come. The theory that only women
with tall and graceful figures can
wear long jackets is a fallacy; tho fact
is that a very short person even can
wear .heln if the style and shape of the
garment be correct If proper atten-
ton is paid to all the different lines Of
the cut, long jacket can even be made
to make short woman look taller.
Capes will be as good as ever. Tho
cape is essentially a spring garment.
There are new shades of material, ne "
effects in embroideries, new trimmings
all of which make the garment at
tractive. Capes are no longer than
they we're last season. According to
present indications this will be one of
the largest lace seasons we have had
for a long time, and there is really no
trimming more elegant or in more per-
feet taste, or better adapted for spring
ware than those old Irish point laces
and point genes
Some very exaggerated novelties
have sprung up of late. The Chinese
driving coat is a loose-hanging affair
with a saucer-shaped collar, buttoning
very wide, double breasted. with large
cuffs aud no pockets. The vatican
coat is osc-6tting long jacket with
a big vatican pleat down the entire
length of the back, and long, loose
draperies hanging from the shoulders
such as Paris delights in at present,
but which we, in this conutry, have
only encouraged thus far in morning
and tea gowns There are SO many
beautiful m aterials to choose from this
season that the labor of getting up
new and handsome garments is greatly
facilitated. Bedford cords are no
longer novelties, and will be used

PERlLs OF THE woo0sMEN.
Difficulties In tho Way OF Caring For the

Difficulties In tho Way OF Caring For the
Sick or Injured.
People who live in the large cities
and towns OF the East and who are not
familiar with the habits of wooismen
can scarcely credit the stories told of
the hardships and dangers enc 7untered
in getting out logs. There are greater
dangers and hardships encountered in
the woods Of northern Maine and Can
ada than upon the ocean even in the
winter. The laws make provision for
tine care of victims of sickness and ac-
cident on shipboard, but nothing of the
sort is known in the average lum Der
camps, where men often die for the
want OF ordinary care after accidents.
Moreover, not one man in hundred
who "gocs in" has forethought enough
to provide himself with even mate rial
for n bandage.
Most lumb Der camps are from forty to
one hundred miles from a settlement
1t follows, therefore, that man seri-
ously cut with an axe, kicked by a
horse. hurt by a falling tree, injured
by slipping or stricken with disease,
must, after his companions realize that
he needs medical attendance, be taken
long distance over rough roads and
frozen ponds to n doctor, or the doctor
must be brought to him. But PHI ysicians
cannot always leave their patients for
a weeks trip into the woods, and
there fore, the man at camp may lie i'll
ten DAYS before such aid can be OBJ
tanned
But this is not the worst feature, for
men and animals are often isolated in
the forest by the freaks of nature as
completely as though floating on a
wreck in mid ocean or lost on prairie.
The writer has a personal kno owledge
Of being six weeks doing a thirty five
mile Journey. This delay was wholly
due to the fact that neither forest nor
ice could be traverscd, for the one was
a bit too hard, the other not hard
enough.
The natural forest of Maine and
Canada, save on the uplands, is made
up as a: rule of spruce, hemlock, and
pine, growing as thick as poles are
placed in a hop field. The ground is
covered with a ''du if, often two feet
thick, the remnant of the decay of
other generations of trees. This duff
will hold water like a sponge. Sun
light destroys it. aud this ex plains why,
W hen forests are cut away, streams
and even small rivers disappear except
during spring freshets In the fall of
tho year or early winter this duff
lies upon the ground, filed with water
from fall rains that turn to ice with
the advent of cold weather. Upon this
in the forest will lie decaying trees Of

II have al ways been troubled with q
nose that would turn reddish whenever
particularly desired to look my best"
said pretty young girl. 'but think I
have found an antidote- At least it has
proved very efficacious in my case. It
is simply to wash the entire face at
night with hot water and afterward
rub the nose we'll with alcohol; this
does not irritate the skin as it might
seem. Chronic redness comes from a
defective circulation and the alcohol
acts as tonic to the capillary tubes.
This is also. I am told, an excellent
remedy for pimples or rough skim
