a HaIky Horse.

A balky horse is incorrigible under
the treatment Of the ordinary "horse-
man." In q case reported recently,
after all the infallible methods had
been tried without success. an ardent
admirer of the noble animal, and a
lifelong student OF his peculiarities,
in his usual kindly manner, requested
the driver to get q stone and hammer
on the bottom Of a ~forefoot. Having
hunted a stone he raised the foot OF
the "incorrigible" and gave it several
taps ON the iron shoe. "Drive q few
more nails" and again the driver
hammered the bottom Of the foot with
the stone.
THAT will do; put down the foot
and lead away your horse. This crowd
has been wasting time long enough"
The driver put down the foot, took
hold Of the bride and gave the
starting signal. The horse responded
willingly, pulling the load up the hill
as steadily as il the baking instinct
to it was unknown. The crowd
cheered and dispersed.
"What is the philosophy Of that?"
asked a delighted spectator.

known 1t to fall" replied the amiable
gentleman Canadian Breeder.

Love Laughs az poetors.

A young man wanted to marry q
girl. but her rich parents forbade the
match. The young man ~thereupon
became sick and had terrible fainting
fits. The doctors were called and said
he would soon die. and he said he
wanted to die. The father Of the girl
visited the patient, and the poor fellow
said that il he could marry his Mary
Ann he would die happy. His dying
request could certainly not be refused.
and, Mary Ann having no objection,
the minister was sent for. and the
marriage ceremony was performed.

tent rose from his bed a hale man.

Skilled 0frl Jewellers.

On Sixth avenue, just below Four
teenth street, New York, is q jewelry
firm which consists Of two young
women. There are several women
who carry OF the ~jewelry business with
men to do the work, but these girls
are expert jewellers themselves. They
were both brought up in the business
by their father, and when he died the
girls were competent to carry it on.
They make many lovely rings to order,
but their specially 10 watch mending.
Both are skilled workwomen. One is
reckoned among the finest watch re-
pairers in New York City, and under
stands the mechanism Of imported
Swiss watches that are too much for
many old hands. In fact, 90 we'll
known is her talent that the most
famous firms OF jewellers In New York,
whose names are known the country
over. send many delicate timepieces
to her to be mended and supplied
with some delicate spring or bit Of
mechanism that otherwise would have
to be sent abroad to be fitted.
Both young women are bright,
pretty, intelligent, and nothing on the
sign or about the establishment would
for an instant suggest that the BUSH
ness was entirely handled by two
young women. They are doing well,
they say. and getting ahead in the
world.

suffocation. At this point she was
