Tail Docking Prohibited.

The Legislature of Massachusetts,
has passed q stringent law against the
practice of docking horses, says the
Springfield Republican. 1t was APP
proved by Governor Greenhalge. The
important sections are rs follows:
Section l. Whoever cuts the bone
of the tail of any horse for the purpose
of docking the tail, or whoever causes
or knowingly permits it to be done
upon the premises of which he is
owner, lessee, proprietor, or user, or
whoever assists in or is present at such
cutting, shall be punished by i'm
prisonment in the Jail not exceeding
one year or by fine of not less than
S100 nor more than $500.
Sec. Q. e horse is found with
its tail so cut and with the wound re
sulting from such cutting unhealed
upon the premises of any person, such
facts shall be prima facie evidence
that the person who occupies or has
the use of the premises on which such
horse is so found has committed the
offense described in section l.
Sec. 8. If horse is found with his
tail so cut, with the wound resulting
from such cutting unhealed, in the
charge or custody of any person, such
facts shall be prima facie evidence
that the person having the charge OF
custody of such horse has committed
the offense charged in section l.
This ought to make it difficult tC
dock horse within the borders o
the State, but it cannot restore mutt
lated horses to their original condi
tion, nor will it prevent the taking o
horses outside of the State to b.
docked. But it is something to hav,
Massachusetts, declare against thi
barbarism and to insist that it canno
be perpetrated within her borders.

Best Way to Kill a Bear.

Recent disclosures as to the way in
which some New Yorkers kill bear,
said Mr.. j. Q. Osgood, remind me of
Paul Morton's discovery of the way to
catch them. He was travelling with q
party of good fellows on the Canadian
Pacific Railway. On that road the
passengers are supplied with a most
interesting little book giving the name
of every town through which they
pass, with nice little bits of informa.
tion as to what may be seen there and
for what the town and surrounding
country are noteworthy.
The Morton party observed after
the name of station where the train
was to stop the statement, "Here bear
may be found" Arriving there they
dispatched their meal as soon as pos
sible and began TO look for bear. Sure
enough there was one on the premises
tied to stake in the back yard. The
advertising man had TAKEN care 10

The German kindergarten.

A kindergarten in Germany has al.
ways plot of ground, however small,
where the children plant seeds and
tend their own plants until the seeds
are stored in the autumn. This is
made very delightful and useful
feature IN all parts of that country,
but the plan is practiced at the Pesta-
lozzi-Froebel House, In Berlin, on a
specially fine and large scale. The
work of tins kindergarten is under
the patronage of Empress Frederika,
and it has the immediate supervision
of Frau Henrietta Breyman Schrader,
a niece of Froebel's. The three-story
house, which is IN the heart of the
city, is built with an inner court,
which contains n playground and a
garden. A recent visitor tells of the
tall linden tree in grass plot, with a
rustic summer house built around it,
and of the little gardens of the chill
dren. She is under the impression
each child had separate garden OF
flowers. There were rose bushes and
lilacs, and with the towering shrubs,
currant bushes and gooseberries, and
other small fruits, all skilfully ar
ranged with most beautiful effect. A
vine covered the high brick partition
dividing this ground from the neigh
boring enclosures in a way TO add
beauty to the whole scene. Back of
the garden is n chicken yard, with a
wire screen between, where the chill
dren could watch the mother hens
with their young broods, getting many
lessons from this observation. New

RAGoUT OF PEAS.

A ragout of peas needs but to be
eaten to be appreciated. Put three
ounces of butter into a saucepan with
a teaspoon of minced onion, a few
leaves of fresh mint, pepper and salt.
When these ingredients have sim
mered for a few minutes-take care
that they do not acquire the least
colorado a quart of green peas, and
shake the pan to prevent their burn
ing; after FIVE minutes add half pint
of water, very little borax and half
a teaspoon of powdered sugar. Cover
the pan closely and draw it to the
side of the fire, and let the contents
cook slowly for about three-quarters
of On hour; if allowed to boil the
water will soon be absorbed, and, un-
less more is added at once, the peas,
instead of being large and tender,
will be shrivelled and hard. New

The odds and ends left over from n
meal should not be thrown away. The
careful housekeeper can find many
ways of turning them into dainty and
healthful dishes. Pieces of cold meat

pieces and warmed in white or brown
sauce, or the sauce and meat or fish
may be put in small baking dish,
covered with grated bread crumbs
and then Drowned in the oven.
Cold meat or fish may be hashed
fine and mixed with potato, rice or
hominy and sauce, and made into
croquettes.
Tough pieces of meat and bones may
be used in making little stews or a
little soup stock. All kinds of meat
can be combined in making a stew or
soup.
Pieces of bread may be used for

heated in a sauce, and spread over a
plain omelet just before rolling it up,

how small the quantity, should be
saved to use in warming over meat,
fish or vegetables. New York World.
