Horses With Long Tails.

L see that there is again an attempt
being made to introduce the fashion o {
long-tailed horses. L doubt very much
if it will succeed. Fashion has practi-
cally removed the raison d'etre for
these caudal appendages. The work
ing horse or the horse in the country,
of course, needs his tail to protect him
self from the flies. The fashionable
coach horse these days, ON the other
hand, has more careful attention than
used to be bestowed upon child a
few years ago. When in the stable he
is carefully blanketed to protect him
from the cold draughts OF from the
annoyance of the insects, and when be-
ing driven is protected from the flies
by the driver, especially if he be of a
nervous disposition and easily worried
by the pests. In fact, the fashionable
teams are almost uninterruptedly un.
der the most careful supervision. The
only trouble is that when the horses
get old and broken down and are turned
over to the tender mercies of some
huskster or horse car line, then the
lack of care will lay them open to the
attacks of the horse flies, and on this
account the objection to docking is
very evident
Every one who is wealthy enough to
cut off his horses tails should be
humane enough to blow the animals
brains out when their days of useful
ness in high life are over.
As to the cruelty of the docking pro-
cess, it is not as bad as the humani-
tartan would lead one to suppose. ]
once bought team of dock tailed
horses at big auction sale, and it was
not until the succeeding day that the
coachman discovered that the opera
tion was of SO recent date that the
stumps were still raw. The horses suf-
fered in no way nervously, as far as
could be seen, nor did it affect their
appetites or general behavior in the
slightest. Old cavalry officers will
call to mind in the battles of the late
war that it was not unusual to see
horses with broken legs, or with hoof
shot off, grazing around after the bat
tie comparatively comfortable. There
is good deal of difference between the
nervous organization of horse and
that of a man. Docking has obiectiona-
BILE features, it is true, butt the custom
has undoubtedly come to stay. The
growth of the fad in England and on
the Continent proves it.-New York

The Heat of the Sun.

The mechanical energy of one square
yard of the suns surface would keep
an ocean steamship under full head
way. If all the coal in the earth we're
put into one large heap and kindled
with an unlimited supply of oxygen
for its combustion, it would not give
out heat sufficient to replace that lost
by the sun in one-thousandth part of
a second of time. In the ball of fam
ing matter which we call the sun,
clouds of carbon are continually ris-
ing to the surface, and remain there
to glow with. inconceivable intensity.
By the help Of photography, aided
by the spectroscope, the cloudy sur
face of the sun can now be examined.
Previously, the corona, which really
is crown of fiery tongues of flame
many of the fifty thousand miles in
length-could only be seen during an
eclipse, but now we have photographs
which show these flames to be ever
darting forth and fickering from the
suns disk. These mighty flames oc-

CARE OF FINE NEEDLEwoRK.

1t is noticeable that in the best nee-
dlework the wrong side of the article
looks nearly as smooth and well fin
ished as the right. There are no ends
and knots and no unnecessary stitches
crossing the surfaces where the right
side is plain. Where these faults do
occur they will be sure to show on the
right side after the article has been
laundered. 1t has been found, too,
that the best imported silks are the
most economical, because they wash
best. Very hot water will make even
these run so if your work is mussy
after it is finished, dip it in cold
water, and if soap is necessary use
only the best CASTLE on the wrong
side of the embroidery. Rinse in cold
water and be sure that the powder
used in stamping is all out. Squeeze
gently when washing, and if soiled use
at first tepid water. After washing,
lay the embroideries, while still damp,
on a clean, thick flannel, cover with q
clean cloth and press on the wrong
side, ironing from the centre of the
design toward the edges When the
figure is well pressed out and the linen
dry, go over the plain part on the right
side with n small iron. Embroideries
worked in frame wash better than
those that are not.-New York Post.

HOW TO WASH TABLE LINEN,

Be sure that your linen goes into no
vessel that is not clean and freshly
rinsed. See that it is put to boil in
side bag of clean cheese cloth. If
stained, wet the spots with alcohol,
and wash out in clear cold water before
allowing suds to touch it. Stains of
milk or soft eggs must be soaked in
clear cold water for ten minutes when
washed. Use mild white soap, or
the Brown Windsor that comesin long
bars. Make strong lather, only let.
ting the soap touch the fabric at some
obstinate grease spot. Tea cloths or
others with delicate colors wash
brighter if a handful of salt is added
to the first suds, which should be bare
ly lukewarm. The second may be hot.

Fold smoothly for the wringer, then
pop into your bag and set to boil in

Have your bluing water cold and free

caused by a threat to disarm the ma

~ cause is the lack of unanimity be-
tween the European powers. The
prevailing distrust and jealousy be-
tween these powers tends to aggravate
the natural ferocity of the natives
and to perpetuate difficulties existing
between contending factions. When
two nations boasting all the refine
ments of modern civilization are con-
stantly fighting for the supremacy or
possession of practically worthless
island, it is not to be wondered at
that the savage, one destitute of pity
or humanity, continues to follow the
bent of his barbarous disposition.
