How to Buy a Hor.e.

An old horseman SAYS: If you want
10 buy horse, don't believe your own
brother. Take no mans word for IL,
Your eye is your market. Don't buy
horse In harness. Unhitch him and take
everything of but his halter, and lead
him around II he has corn, or is stiff,
or has any failing, yol can see 1t. Let
him go himself away, aud IL he walks
into anything, you know that he is
blind. No matter how clear and bright
his eyes are, he can't see any more than
bat. Back him, too. Some horses
show their weaknesses or tricks In that
way when they don't in any other. But,
be as smart as you can, you'll get caught
sometimes. Even the expert gets stuck.
horse may look ever so nice. and go at
great pace, and yet have fits. There
isn't man who could tell it until some
thing happens. Or he may have a weak
back. Give him the whip. and OF be

start him. The weak points about

standing than while moving. II he is
sound. he will stand firmly and squarely
on his hind limbs without moving them.
with legs plumb and naturally poised; or
IL the foot Is taken from the ground, aud
the weight taken from it, disease may
be suspected. or, at least, tenderness,
which Is the precursor of disease. II
horse stands with his feet spread apart
or straddies with his hind legs. there is
weakness in his lions and the kidneys
are dsordered. Heavy pulling bends
the knees. Blush, milky cast eyes 10
horses indicate moon blindaess or some
thing else. a bad tempered one keeps
his ears thrown back; a stumbling horse
has blemished knees. When the skin is
rough and harsh does not move
easily to the touch, the horse is heavy
eater and digestion bad. Never buy a
horse whose breathing organs are at al,
impaired. Place your ear at his heart,
and II a wheeling sonnd is heard, it is
an indication of trouble.

We are informed that people living at

to get their mail. 1t seems that the

he did not get his paper for two weeks
and then discovered that the p. NJ.

1t is a pity that such men are maintained

would be far more profitable breaking

The following from Hubbard Kern an 5

mense value to young ladies 10 Baraga

'For mans birth look to his linen
and ficger nails and observe the inflec-
tion OF his voice. For his tastes study
the color OF his ties, the patterns aud
hang OF his trousers. his friends and his
rings, ifany. For his propen stiles. walk
round and look carefully at the back Of
his head, and. remember, never marry
a man whose neck bulges ever so little
over his collar. II you want a succ ,ss-
full man. see that he has neat foot. He
will move quicker, get over obstacles
faster than man who falls over his own
toes and trips up other folks with 'em.
too. For his breeding notice his conduct
to his mother and sisters and his usual
behavior TO the female sex. All this
being satisfactory. the marriage lie may
be considered"

helps to light the streets, to build and
maintain the schools, to assist in sanitary
