THE WEEPING OF HORSES.
Unmistakable Appeals of Injured Animal
for Sympathy.

Unmistakable Appeals of Injured Animals
for Sympathy.
Did you ever see horse cry? Many
people believe that horses do not weep,
but those who have had much to do
with these faithful creatures know
that On several occasions they will
shed tears. as well as express sorrow,
IN the most heartrending manner. In
the west, where the hardness Of the
ponies causes the riders to almost over
look the necessity OF providing for
their needs. it is quite common when
the weather is extremely cold to leave
an unblanketed pony tied for two or
three hours when the temperature is
nearly zero and while its owner is
transaeting business
In this case, says the Pract1cal
Farmer, the suffering Is evidenced by
the cries, which are almost like sobs,
and unmistakable tears freeze onto the
cheeks like icic1es. When horse falls
In the street and gets injured the

groan, but under some conditions an

THE ORDER or THE GARTER.

Its Members Men of Great Personal Dis
tinction.
Lord Melbourne used to say that
there was only one order in the world
worth having, and that was the Gar
ter, because there was no merit at
tached to it ct all, and that was what
made II the first order in Europe And
therein Lord Melbourne showed his
usual shrewdness The distinction
men love best Is the distinction which,
instead Of making man distinguished.
merely singles him out aa already be-
ing Sd distinguished that no reason
needs to be given for distinguishing
him further. The Garter practically
says; "Here is the man whom every
one will agree to think distinguished.
The Garter receives distinction from
him, rather than gives distinction to
him.
; And that is precisely the kind Of tes-
timony which men covet most. says the
Spectator. What they desire to think
OF themselves Is that they do not need
that any external reason should be as
signed for the honor IN which they are
held; that that honor is, indeed, in
evitable, and Is natural consequence OF
their being what they are, Merit is
something earned by effort and labor
But what people love most is dfstinc-
ton which is quite independent Of eff
tort and labor, which is imbedded in
their nature, like genius or manner or
breeding. To be well bred is not at a
mans own command

A Fish Story.
From the Portland Oregonianl

From the Portland Oregonian.
Carp have become SO plentiful in
the sloughs along the Columbia that
fishermen have offered to supply
farmers at Scappoose with any de-
sired quantity for manure at IS per
ton. No one can with justice call the
carp worthless fish after that. As
tending to show how numerous carp
are in places a farmer states that a
few days ago he was crossing q
slough with lot of green grass In
his cart. The grass slid Off into the
water and the carp came around and
began eating it. He jumped into the
waters with his pitchfork to throw
the grass back on his cart, and q
regular pitched" battle took place
between him and the carp for the
possession of 1t. The carp ran
against his legs and nearly threw
him down, but he worked away like
a Trojan and managed to save about
half of the grass, and with it pitched
about half ton of carp into the
cart. The rest of the grass was eaten
by the carp he did not catch. He
was on his way to the city and the
grass was intended as lunch for his
horses. When he arrived here the
carp among the wet grass were all
alive and kicking. and he sold the lot
to q Chinese fish-dealer for $3.50.
He thinks of repeating the expert
ment the next time he comes to the
city.

Some Interesting experiments were
made last summer on spiders threads
A thread having been obtained. one
end was carefully fixed with gum to a
support, and to the other end small
weights were gradually attached till It

these tests, the strength Of the thread

Turnips for the Stock.
From the Petersburg Index Appeal

From the Petersburg Index Appeal
Let the farmer prepare without
delay an acre or two OF ground, and
plant, during the next week or two,
a patch of turnips for the cattle,
sheep and hogs In winter. Ground
where Irish potatoes we're raised in
spring suits well. Plow and make
fine, and lay off rows two and a half
feet apart, and with a dotter to mark
six or eight inch intervals proceed to
drop few seeds at each spot, thus
making a smaller quantity of seed
plant an acre.
Old ashes from log fires are AN ex-
cellent fertilizer for turnips. Also
plaster and phosphate mixed half
and half The fertilizer should be
sprinkled along the rows before the
ridges are made, and pains taken to
get it thoroughly mixed with the
soil of the ridge. But If one has
plenty of ashes, they may be spread
broadcast, and the guano applied In
the drill. New loamy land suits
turnips admirably. For stock, the
ruta baga, globe amber, or white
Norfolk, are the best varieties. The
round and the fat purple top are
best for eating, but are not as good
keepers as the first. Two pounds OF
seed will plant an acre, dropped four
or five seed atspaces six inches apart.

Choice Bits of Wisdom.

From Rams Horn
The hermit robs God and man and
steals from himself.
No life can be a failure when God
reigns in the heart.
Spiritual dyspepsia is harder to
cure than the other kind.
When we lift on somebody else's
burden God takes our own.
The Bible offers no premium on
laziness or improvidence.
The more others are untrue the
more God needs loyalty in US.
Benevolence without love has no
more heart in it than an auction
block.
Our power to resist the devil be-
comes feebler every time welook into
his face
Practice the same kind of religion
in the street car that you profess in
church.
THERE'S no mansion being prepared
in Heayen for the man who will not
forgive.
Keep your heart full of sunshine,
and God will soon give you face to
match it.
Ii the wife does not get any good
out of the husbands religion it does
not come from Christ.
When some people say, Get thee
behind me, Satan" they do not want
him to get out of reach.
Hyou say no to God today, it may
be that you will never have another
chance TO say yes.
The devil in some shape is being
made welcome in the home where the
Bible has dust ON it.
One reason why some people find
it SO hard to lead Christian life, is
because they devote 30 little time to
it.
The man who says "Our Father"
in honest prayer, will not be found
standing with his foot on his broth
er's neck.
