Jailing Apprentices.

1t will be a revelation to many peo-
pie to learn that the practice of pun
ishing unruly apprentices In the city
of London by various terms of i'm
prisonment without being brought
publicly before a police magistrate is
still carried into effect. The power
of ordering such punishment is vested
in the city chamberlain, and the Of
fenses for which the apprentices are
punished are absence, coming late of
a morning, idleness and insubordina-
ton.
The lads are confined in the cells of
the old prison in New Bridge street
and are not permitted to leave the
building on any account during their
terms of confinement. The only ex-
excise they are allowed is taken on
the premises and consists of walking
up and down the corridors for peri
DDS of half an hour or 20 minutes be-
fore and after the large doors are
opened. In the cells the lads are per-
mitted to read, but this is the only
recreation allowed Their diet is the
same as in ordinary prisons and con-
sists of bread, potatoes, skilly, hot

and often with shortness of breath. it
Is advisable to make slight change of
diet. Bread should be eaten very spar
ingly, and only of the coarse kinds;
graham is the best. No white bread
should be eaten unless cut very thin
and toasted brown. 1t is best to drop
all cereals, and also the root vegetables,
potatoes, turnips, carrots, etc.. and
beans and peas. OF course sweets are
tabooed, and it is we'll to erase choco-
late from the lists of liquids. All
drinks should be taken in moderation,
but goblet of hot water half hour
before meals will hasten the cure. The
only meats that are under the ban are
veal and pork, and the latter is unfit to
be eaten at any time excepting by those
working hard at manual labor.
Eat as freely as appetite prompts of
fruits, both fresh and dried, and all
green vegetables, especially salads.
Nuts and raisins, figs and dates, ices
and jellies, can be varied for dessert,

Breeding Horses.

In breeding horses there are other
things to consider besides the appear
ance and performance of sire and dam.
One of the most important of these is
temperament. A vicious and ill tenn
pered mare, whatever her good points
may be. should never be retained for
breeding purposes. Moral qualities are
as surely transmitted to defendants as
physical features. A vicious brood
mare should at all times be rejected.
ID. Curnieu, a French authority, rightly
says: mo mare should be used as a
brood mare unless she is perfectly well
known" If she has any vice it will
most probably be perpetuated. and in
an augmented form, especially if the
sire has defects of kindred nature.
1t is, of conrse, equally as important
that the sire should be free from vice
as that the dam should be 80. Ashow-
ever, it is difficult to ascertain the tenn
per of the stallion, whether confined to
his own stable or travelling the coun-
try, unless he has dispayed his bad
temper in public, the greater the i'm
portance of breeding only from such
mares as are not actually vicious them
selves, and that have not even hered-
ltary taint of potential waywardness
and i'll temper in their constitutions.
Although the products of a vicious
mare, if they have good looks and free
action to commend them, may be sold
at high prices as unbroken colts, no
one should attempt to breed horses for
his own use from such an animal. On
the whole, it is good policy never to
breed to such mares.

To Make Good Pork Cheanly.

One of the good uses of clover is to
make a pasture for pigs by which the
cheapest meat may be made and of the
best quality. This will also improve
the land at the same time. Turn the
pigs in such pasture, but divide it 80
that part only may be fed down at
one time and change made, which
will afford fresh feed, and economize
the feeding and make it go fourth
further at least. In this pasture give
the skinned milk and stir in it half q
pound of bran for each pig daily. Add
a tablespoonful of salt for each pig in
this feed. Continue this until the corn
is about ready for cutting; then gather
the soft ears and feed these to the pigs.
The only food that will count as cost
will be the clover and the bran, and
the clover will be fully paid for by the
manure, as the land will be much en-
riched by the milk and the bran. Pork
may be made in this way for under two
cents pound, not counting the benefit
OF the land.-Rural World.

ceases to rear and plung in the harness,
it is often considered broken and is
allowed to take any gait itmay choose.
The old horse by which the youngster
is hitched is allowed to advance by
long, rapid strides, thus forcing the
colt out of walk from the start. The
older animal needs to be held back and
forced to walk at a rate which the
learner can equal. Gradually in
creases the rate, but only in keeping
with the ability of the colt to walk. A
colt that proves naturally slow at the
walk must be given short trips of not
mole than five miles, and be steadily
urged to a faster gait. 1t is work to
drive green" colt properly. The
man who takes the reins at such times
for pleasure is out of place. The early
habits of the colt will cling to it, For
this reason it should be made to travel
at brisk walk during the first three
months it is worked. The we'll trained
horse finds it relief from the walk,
OF course, to be given a brisk trot dur
ing the last one third or one fourth of
the journey.-Orange Judd Farmer.

The Question OF LOYALTY.

1t is well known fact that the great
majority of the strikers have personal
interest in or relation to the original
cause of the difficulty. They do not
complain Of any ill.treatment from their
employers, and are not seeking recti-
fication of any wrong that they have
themselves experienced. At the time
when they stopped work, they were re.
ceiving satisfactory wages, and all the
conditions of their employments were
agreeable. They had voluntarily con-
tracted to perform certain service on
certain terms. There was q definite
bargain between them and the railroads
and that bargain involved reciprocal
rights, duties and responsibilities. The
consideration of loyalty on their part
was most important one, the very

A Simple Cure FOR Backing.

When horse stops and proposes to
turn around don t resist the turn, but
give him a quiet horizontal pull in the
direction he wants to turn 80 as to car

ed to go, and if possible keep him GO
ing around half dozen times, saws
horse trainer. In most cases this will
upset all his calculations, and he will
go quietly on without much ado. If
six turns will not do give him twenty.
In fact, if he will keep on turning to
your rein you are sure to conquer, as
enough turning will confuse him and
leave him at your command. If he
will not turn, and will back to the
rein, keep him going backward in the
direction you want to go. He will
soon get tired of that and prefer to 60
with the right end forward, but before
you let him 90 give him decidedly more
backing than he likes.

HEAD OF A GREAT LIBRARY.
AinswOrth II. SpoffOrd's Thirty Years.
Work at the National Capitol.

The library of Congress now occupies
quarters in the Capitol Building. Its
collection of books outgrew the shelf
capacity of these quarters dozen years
ago, ,and the huge aggregation of printed
matter has gone on accumulating at a
rate of $4,000 or 80, ,000 volumes n year.
The books are piled everywhere, which
would seem to indicate helpless and
hopeless confusion. Basement vaults
are stuffed with literary treasures, and
nothing can now be done with the fur
ther increase except to secure some
kind of temporary storage and wait for
the new building. In the midst of this
seeming confusion, says the Review Of
Reviews, there moves a quiet, keen
dark eyed, alert visaged gentleman
whose systematic mind and clear in
telligence dominates what would
otherwise be an overw whelming anarchy
of books. Ainsworth R. Spofford is
public servant whom all Congress.
men respect and honor. In denounc.
ing the ruthlessness of the spoils sys-
tenn and the scant recognition of real
merit in our public service we must
always remember that there are nota.
BILE exceptions.
Mr.. Spcfford will next year celebrate
the attainment of his three score and
ten years Of life and the completion of
thirty years of cont iuous service as
Chief of the Congressional Library.
Although the new building may not
be ready for the general public use, it
quite certain that Mr.. Spofford may
also next year superintend the placing
of at least 100000 volumes upon the
shelves of the new stack rooms 1t was
to his persistence and energy more
than to the persuasiops of any other
man that Congress yielded when it
finally determined to erec. separate
and monumental structure for the
housing of national library. For
some time it was expected that the i'm
mediate problem of pluce for the un-
shelved books would be solved by build
ing an extension to the east side of the
capitol. Fortunately this short sighted
policy was abandoned. Mr.. Spofford's
counsels were largely followed in the
planning of this new structure, and
he is justified in pronouncing it incom-
parably the best arranged, as it is also
the most commodious national library
structure of the whole world. Mr..
Spofford had for some time served as
an assistant in the Congression Library
before he became Chief Librarian in |
1855; and in that earlier period he had
given ample evidence of extraordinary
capacity in his chosen field of work.
He had catalogued the Congressional
Library, and had done much to render
1t quickly and satisfactorily available
fer the reference of Legislators and the
use of Others who desire to delve in its |
rich treasures of America. 1t now con-
tains approximately 100000, while in
1866, when Mr.. Spofford assumed full |
charge, it had only 90, 900 volumes.

The Delineator for September is called
the Autumn Announcement Number,
and is the strongest issue of this popu-
lar magazine that has yet come to hand.
The display of styles is unusually large
and attractive. and is the authentic
representation of the Autumn modes;
and there is besides special illustrated
article on clothing the baby. A most
interesting contribution is the plea for
and against according the suffrage to
women by such well known writer's as
L. G. Runkle and Edith Thomas, and
there is also valuable paper on public
school teaching as an employment for
women. The first article of a series on
the Kindergarten appears in this num-
ber, and should prove of much service
to both public and private teachers. In
the college series girls life and work
at Radcliffe (late Harvard annex is de-
scribed. Further instruction is given
in the making of ornamental articles
from crepe and tissue papers, in bent
iron work, and in the cultivation of the
voice for singing and defamation. The
instructive talks on the relations be-
tween mother and daughter are con-
tinued, and in the papers on health
there is much good advice on the proper
exercise for both body and brain.
Grapes are considered in the hints on
serving fruit, and there is suggestive
description of cotton wedding. There
are also the usual illustrated papers on
knitting, crocheting, netting, tatting,
etc. The subscription price of the De-
