nAREY's HORSE THEORIES.

Rarey, the great horse trainer, had
three cardinal principles upon which
he worked: First, that horse is so
constituted by nature that he will
offer no resistance to any demand
which he fully comprehends, if made
In n way consistent with nature !;
second, that he has no consciousness
of his strength Beyond his experience,
and can be handled according to
mans will, without notice; third that
man can, i'll compliance with laws of
the horses nature, by which he ex-
amines oil things new to him, take an
object, however frightful, provided it
does not iniiict pain, around or over
or on tho horse, without causing him
to fear. The world has long ago ac-
cepted the first two of these princi-
pies with limitations. San Francisco

The common crow is rightfully

though it does at certain seasons i'm
wade cornfields and pull up the sprout-
ing grain. The stomach's of many
hundreds of crows have been examined,
and during different months in the
year, in order to determine the exact
nature of the food of the bird, and all
these Investigations show that the
crow is far more of friend than an
