Training Colts.

A colt should be weaned at 5 to z
months old, first being taught to eat
and drink.
It's education should commence
before weaving. 1t should be fed
from the owners hand, and often
petted and carressed.
Teach it to lead by the halter and
foretop and TO be tied up. and to
have its feet handled.
Use no harsh language; rule by
kindness, not violence. Never let a
horse obtain the slightest advantage.
Let no man attempt to break
colt until he has broken himself and
learned to control his own passion.
The age for working a colt varies
with size strength and maturity.
Teach a colt to stop at the word of
command.
In training to harness put on an
easy collar, having pair of traces
attached; let strong man walk be-
hind, holding them. After a few
minutes the leader may order the
man to pull tho traces gentle, ,increas-
ing the pressure or Stacking it as the
colt leans into the collar or finches.
Then take him to the wagon; allow
him to smell and examine it, raising
and lowering the tongue until he
takes no notice of the noise. Next
day let the whole harness be put on
repeating the lesson as above; then
he may be hitched to the wagon or
sled beside an old and well broken
horse and have exercise in going up
and down hill, tnrning, etc.
When the colt learns the vehicle he
draws is not meant to hurt him he
viii never try to kick it away or run
off from it.
Never try to beat a colt into doing
anything; patience and gentleness
will induce him to do anything that
will not hurt him.
When he SHES at an object lead
him up to il; allow him to stand and
look as he comes closer.
Before putting on saddle or any
article of harness let the colt smell it !;
then rub it against his head and
body.
Always start a horse with the voice,
never with the whip. Farm, Field
and Fireside.

LOVES FIRST KISS.

Sweetheart, twas but awhile ago-it scarce
 seems yesterday, Though now my locks are white as snow and
 all your curls are gray When. walking in the twilight haze, ere stars
 had smiled above, 1 whispered soft: "I love you" and you kissed
 me for that love- The first kiss. dear! and then your hand-your
 little hand so sweet, And winter than the white white sand that
 twinkled meath your feet Laid tenderly within my own Have queens
 such lovely hands: No wonder that the W hip-poor-wills made swee t
 the autumn lands! IL seemed to me that my poor heart would beat
 to death and break, While all the world, sweetheart! sweetheart
 seemed singing for your sake; And every rose that barred the way in glad and
 dying grace Forgot its faded summer day, and, leaning,
 kissed your face! I envied all the roses then, and all the rosy
 ways That blossemed for your sake are still my life S
 bright yesterdays; But thinking Of that first sweet kiss and that
 first clasp of hands, Lifes whp-poor. wills sing sweeter now
 through all the winter lands! Frank L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution

off in pursuit of Craig. But chey had scant hope of overtalsing him with a horse under him and his many hours start. The easterner's wife still re- mained locked in the cabin. Sage Bar for once found itself non- plused. Law and order had been re- versed by a woman and the town had the offender in custody. But smoke and ponder as it might. Sage Bar was at a loss to know how to proceed. All the laws of the settlement, unwritten though they were, had sprung from an acute sense of frontier needs, and re- ferred to men. There was an undefna- ble feeling among the Sage Bar solons that these laws could not be applied with propriety to women, and so they talked much, smoked and drank much more, and did-nothing. When the Hines party came in, tired, hungry and empty handed, no solution of the diff. culty presented itself, and so, with ad- mirable judgment the town decided to free itself of further responsibility by setting the woman at liberty. The customers wife was pale and evidently worn out when they brought her out of the cabin; but she said not word when they told her she might go, and walked off in the direction of her home with smile, half of defiance. half of satisfaction. That night the party which had gone in pursuit of Craig re- turned, having made fruitless search.
 Two days later, just as Sage Bar was preparing it's evening meal, two men were seen riding over swell from tho northeast. Five horses were driven loosely before them. When the men got nearer the town one of them was recognized as the customer. He was riding bare-headed, and beside him rode another, dark and swarthy, his arms bound to his sides his horse led by Craig. All Sage Bar assembled about the party, while Craig told the story of how he had ridden away that night, had struck the trail of the horses, and following it had brought the Mexican thief to terms with shot from his rife, and then came back. And when he had done there were cheers for the customer such as the town hadn't had a chance to relieve itself of for a long while, and to this day there is not a man in Sage Bar but touches his slouch hat to the customers wife, whom Jo Stetson declares IS ''th' smallest little woman in tn westr'-kansas City Times

OLD AND YOUNG CLOUDS.
The Law of Growth and Development Alp
 plicable in the Sky.


 Does it not seem rather singular to sneak of the age of clouds, of old anu young clouds, inst as you would de- scribe plants as being either young or old? Yet it really appears that such q distinction can be made, and the dis covery, as so frequently happens, was based upon preceding mistake
 Mir. John Aitken reached the eonclu- sion some years ago that the density of a cloud was proportional to the number of water particles it contained the wa ter particles in turn depending upon the narticles of dust present.
 But more recently Mir. Aitken has as cortained that his first conclusion was wrong. and that in many clouds the density falls far short of proportionah- tv with the number of water particles' Further investigation has satisfied him that the size of the water particles changes with the age of the cloud
 The clouds upon which his observa- .;o,s were made a number of years ago must. he thinks, have been old clouds and in them the water particles peing comparatively large, appearea to De ,,ronortional to the density. But the later observations were made upon newlv-formed or young clouds, in which the particles were small in size
 Thns .he law of growth and develop vent which obtains among IvinS things. has its expression also even ln tha clouds of heaven.-Youth's Com

DANGEROUS BATHING.
A Swim in Lower Burmah with a Shark
 for a Companion.

A Swim in Lower Burmah with q Shark
 for a Companion.
 Gen. Paske the author of book of travels in Lower Burmah, says that the residents pointed out to him one par ticular spot on the sea shore where bathing would be perfectly safe; it was a triangular area of water bounded by ledge of rocks leading to the light. house and the sunken reef that joined it, at an angle, with the shore. Men had bathed there times without mum. Der, though hand dangled in the water outside the reef would have been snapped off in trice by a shark. Provided with towels, we were soon on the beach, and I, more impatient than my companion, was the first to traverse the intervening strip of sand, and throw myself into the water. Rising again, began to swim parallel with the shore, when saw my friend, who was on the point of following, stop short, while he called out:
 Come in, as fast as you can," Fully comprehending the danger, l made for the shore with all the strength I could muster, crying out to him to tnTOW III tnc AdIkCSt oAObto hC tOaio lay hands on. knew he had seen the back fin of shark, raised, doubtless, by my splash, to the expectation of a meal
 Fast as I could swim, my progress was but crawling compared to the dart of the fish. which presently laid hold of my ankle, his serrated teeth cutting to the bone like a razor
 thought was within my depth, en- deavored to touch bottom, and sank. The shark had instantly relinquished his hold, but fully expected another attack. I reached the shore, however. without further molestation, for the creature was darting about in all di- rections. confused by the pieces of rock which my friend continued fiinging at him with unfiagging energy. In great pain, and rather faint from loss of blood, scrambled to the sand, and lay there exhausted. The next thing l knew was that my foot was | tightly bandaged, and my faithful friend was by my side.
 1 The appearance of the shark, in this hitherto safe expanse of water, was ac- counted for by an abnormally high l tide, which had brought him in and ! left him there, unable to make his way over the reef after the sea had sunk to 1 its ordinary level.-Youth's $ Companion.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres Of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose Of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from so to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12o, 16o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment OF interest only for three years, at which
tins the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual instalIments. Thus no part OF the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser IL to have five years In which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent per snnum,
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity TO purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than nom $50 to
300 an acre. An examination Of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is az opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase Of this
- a ~ c1rs.,
holding for the purpose Of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dilgent husbandry.
