The Horse,s orlrinnl Home.

The original home of the horse has
been generally supposed TO be the
country which forms the highlands
of Asia, about the fortieth degree of
latitude, and recent authorities re-
port that herds Of wild horses are still
TO be seen i'll certain parts Of Western
Mongolia and Northern Thibet. From
time immemorial this country has
been favorable TO the growth of
horses. Alta very early date, several
thousands of years before Christ, tho
horse was taken westward. The Baby
lonians used horses in their expedi-
tions.
The ouneiform characters which are
used to express the word horse mean
literally the "animal of the East" In
Egypt the horse is not found depicted
on the monuments until about Il. O.
1000. In Nubia the horse was APP
preciated and loved. In hieroglyphic
inscription the statement is made that
when Piankhi, the Ethiopian invader
of Egypt, had captured the stores and
treasury of his foe, Nimroi, he went
into the stables, and finding that the
horses had suffered from hunger, he
burst into rage and said: al swear
by my life, and by my beloved Ra.
that to have kept my horses hungry
is more heiuous in my sight than any
other offense which thou hast COM
mitted against me" The native land
of the Arab horse includes the Arabian
peninsula, the lands about the Tigris
and Euphrates, and the Damascus
district. All Arab horses are asserted
to be descended from fabulous mare
called "Kuhailat of the old woman.

Lessons From Tree $.

The student of nature may learn
some useful and interesting lessons by
careful observation of the rings in the
trunks of trees. He will observe that
some rings are wide, others narrow;
some full, clear-cut and regular, others
jagged, one-sided and perhaps spotted
or-stained or maybe deeply indented
These accurately indicate the condition
of the tree during its various stages
of growth. As each ring is a years
progress, so each is perfect record
of that years development, so we may
know how it was nourished. A full,
wide, even ring shows that during
that year the tree had abundant mois-
ture and nourishment. A thin, irregu-
lar line is evidenced that the tree was
not in aourishing condition. Spots,
stains and breaks in the lines show
that the outside of the tree may have
been bruised or bent, or the bark and
wood injured in some way. In fruit
trees, imperfectly developed rings
may be caused by an unusually large
crop of fruit, which so taxed the vital
powers of the plant that but little was
left to be turned toward the forma-
ton ofnew wood. By careful examin-
alton and counting, the skilled botan-
ist is enabled to read the history of
the tree-trunk, and to tell in what
years it is best fourished, when there
was little for it to grow on, and when
1t was too constantly occupied with
fruit production to give any care to
its own growth other than the abso-
lutely necessary formation and sohdi-
flying of its outer coating. 1t would
be of great advantage to the student
If the habits and needs of trees could
be explained by competent persons.
Some day, when tree-planting becomes
more important than most people
seem to believe, this knowledge would
be OF great value. New York Ledger.

Cheap and Plentiful Remedy.

Common salt is one of the most val
liable remedial agents the world con
tsins. Used as a tooth powder, alone
OF with little prepared chalk, it
whitens the teeth and makes the gums
hard and rosy. 1t is good gargle for
sore throat, and if taken in time will
benefit, if not cure, diphtheria. It
will stop bleeding of the mouth, and
in warm water is good emetic and
remedy against several poisons. There
is nothing better for sore. feet and
hands than salt and water, and for or
dinary sore eyes, though painful
application, will often effect COM
plete cure. indianapolis News.

young mans craving for strong drink was
aroused at the mention Of the wine sauce,
and he also was about to reply afirmatively
to tho walters question when his lady friend
quickly said Pudding without wine sauce, II
sou please. Without wine sauce came
the young mans reply.
"Afterward, in the plrlor he said to her I,
u want to thank you for doing me a great
iavor.' She looked astonlshed. 'You 40 not
know what 1t meant to me when YOU said at

CARE OF INDIA RUNNERS.

In these days, when india rubber
shoes are so often made of shoddy
MATERIAL it is especially necessary to
take good care of them. 1t is a great
mistake to wash an india rubber to
free it from mud. Soap always in
lures them, and even clear water APP
plicstions are of no special advantage.
The best way is to allow the over
shoes to become thoroughly dry.
Then brush them free from all dust
and mud, and rub them thoroughly
with vaseline. This not only cleans
them, but leaves an oil surface, which
makes the overshoe more impervious
to water. There is an india rubber
cement which is at times quite eff
Gective in mending small rents in
overshoes, though it does not last
great while. In buying overshoes it

Halt a Century Of the Telegraph.

The facts brought out on the fftieth
anniversary of telegraphy, which was
recently celebrated in New York, are
very interesting to the student of ma
terial and social progress. 1t was on
the day of the great Whig convention
at Baltimore that the 6rst message was
transmitted in this country that was
to demonstrate the utility Of teleg-
rAphy and relieve Professor Morse Of
the stigma of being "crazy." His
wire between Baltimore and Washing.
ton announced the nomination of Clay
and Frelinghuysen an hour before the
train reached the Capital. Since then
the figures OF telegraphy have grown
amazingly, and never SO rapidly as at
present. As late as 1860 one operator
sent all the newspaper dispatches from
Chicago announcing the nomination
of Lincoln. II took 125 operators to
furnish the telegraphic news of Cleve-
lands nomination at Chicago. Even
down to 1880 only fifty newspapers
received special kilograms. Now there
are 600 that have special service. A
single establishment in this country
has 500, 900 miles of wire in operation,
and 23, 900 offices, and last year sent
10000, 600 messages.
There are now IN the world about
1000, 900 miles of telegraph wire in
operation, and in addition to the tele-
graph lines there are nearly $50, 900
miles of nautical cables, over which
the Morse system is used. The news
paper and press associations, which in
1880 received but 2S,000,0 900 words,
now consume nearly 1900, 900, 900
words in supplying the public with
news and reading matter. What all
this signifies in behalf of public en-
lightenment and commerce almost sur.
passes comprehension. 1t enables one
to enjoy two lives in one. It has adj
ded tenfold value to the art of print
ing, and has increased the national
wealth enormously. Yet orthodox
science and the busines world were 30
sure that Professor Morse was ''crazy"
that he was ashamed to conduct the
first public experiments in person,
lest he should be hooted out of conf
dence. What lesson on charity an d
and the folly of snap judgments l.
